对国外新世纪“语文课程标准”的透视与反思

新世纪以来世界各国语文课程标准,结构模式及内容编排各具个性特色,具有代表性的有三种:"能力说"特色;"内容说"与"能力说"兼具特色;"课程设计与评价整合"特色。我国现行《语文课程标准》在结构模式及内容呈现方面都有需要改进之处。突出的问题是:缺乏规范教学内容的"内容标准"和便于操作的"能力标准";忽略母语学习中的重要内容,如词汇语法等;使用者必须在研究解读中改进并完善。

美国“SEC”一致性分析范式的诠秤与启示——基础教育中评价与课程标准一致性的视角

美国在基于课程标准的教育改革以及学校教学要求偏低的现实背景下，致力于研制“SEC”（Surveys of Enacted Curriculum）等一致性分析范式，即分析评价与课程标准一致性程度的理念、程序和方法，推动了美国学校基于课程标准的评价实践。该范式对我国课程评价的启示在于：要认识到评价与课程标准一致性策略是调适课程运行偏差的重要手段；要立足本土化，研制评价与课程标准一致性分析的程序和方法。     

ADHD: The Untold Truths of the ADEP (Australian Deficit in Educational Policy)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that predominantly results in behaviours associated with hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention that are frequently not conducive to successful learning and academic performance. Children who display these behaviours often require extra assistance, adjustments, and accommodations in the classroom in order to achieve their full potential. This article reviews Australian and New South Wales Discrimination, Disability and Education legislation, policy and procedures with respect to the education of students with ADHD. This review illustrates the need to standardise the definition of disability used throughout Australia, and to more firmly clarify an education provider’s responsibilities toward students with disabilities. With more clarity, students with ADHD will be provided with the additional educational and behaviour support they need in order to realise their full potential.     

论英国合格教师专业标准与教师职前培训要求

英国教师标准局和英国师资培训署在2002年6月共同颁布了《英国合格教师专业标准与教师职前培训要求,》旨在提高教师的专业标准,提升教育质量。其内容主要包括两方面:一是教育大臣标准,这是受训教师在获得合格教师资格之前必须要达到的标准;二是对教师职前培训的提供者和教师资格授权人的要求。我国新一轮的基础教育课程改革需要一批高素质的教师,势必在教师标准和教师培训方面提出新的要求,英国的这项标准给我们提供了很好的借鉴。

The Use and Misuse of Standardized Testing: A Whiteheadian Point of View

First an overview is given about the actual national and international situation concerning standardized testing. Then two major reasons are presented why accountability systems based on standardized testing have become so widespread: (a) the missing validity and reliability of teachers’ assessment of students’ achievement, and (b) the important role standardized testing plays for out-put management in educational systems.On the basis of these considerations Alfred North Whitehead’s critical remarks on external standardized testing are presented. Whitehead’s main point is that external standardized testing limits the freedom of teachers to adapt to the complex, situation specific circumstances in order to obtain a maximum of the creative learning process for students who are conceived as specialists. Instead external testings lead to “teaching to the test.” As a consequence, the attitude of creative, adventurous exploration is undermined and substituted by simple pattern recognition, narrow visions, and even boredom. Finally, the question is raised whether there is any possibility of developing a measurement tool which on the one side meets scientific test criteria, and on the other side is still flexible enough to do justice to needs of individual schools – which according to Whitehead are the essential educational unit – and not vice versa, as it is the case at present with external standardized testing. That such a flexible approach to evaluation is possible is demonstrated by the presentation of the basic ideas of the MSS (Module Approach to Self-Evaluation of School Development Projects) which has been developed and examined in ten schools by the author and his collaborators.     

Enhancing self-regulation of practice: the influence of graphing and self-evaluative standards

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of graphing of self-recorded outcomes and self-evaluative standards on the acquisition of a motoric skill with 70 college students. It was postulated that students who were provided with graduated self-evaluative standards would surpass those who were provided with absolute standards or no standards (control) in both motoric skill and in motivational beliefs (i.e., self-efficacy, attributions, and self-satisfaction). Regarding graphing of self-recorded outcomes, it was hypothesized that students who graphed their results visually would show higher dart skill and stronger motivational beliefs than participants who did not graph their results. Support was found for these hypotheses. The implications of findings of this study were discussed for instructors in terms of how the effects of self-directed practice can be enhanced.

贸易技术壁垒的博弈分析

本文明确提出最小质量标准(MQS)可以作为贸易技术壁垒(TBT)来考虑，因为贸易技术壁垒的实质就是设定一个高于进口产品质量的标准，以阻碍进入。在此前提下，本文首先考虑了在一个开放的经济体中．企业的利润及社会福利随MQS的变化情况。其次，对开放和封闭经济体中的MQS作了比较。结果表明，输入国政府设定最小质量标准，会使得生产低质量产品的进入企业利润增加，生产高质量产品的在位企业利润减少．但输入国消费者剩余提高，且消费者剩余的增加幅度要大于本国企业利润的减少，因此社会福利增加，输入国政府有动机设定最小质量标准。
