农村小学综合实践活动课的困境及应对策略

综合实践活动课程对提高学生的创新能力和综合实践能力具有非常重要的意义。然而,我国农村小学综合实践活动课程的实施还存在不少问题和困惑,经费不足、资源不够、师资缺乏、课程设置不合理等问题相当突出。笔者采用问卷调查和访谈等方式,比较深入地了解了湖北省农村小学综合实践活动课程的实施现状,分析了困境之间的联系,提出了一些对策。     

Do individual differences in children’s curiosity relate to their inquiry-based learning?

This study investigates how individual differences in 7- to 9-year-olds' curiosity relate to the inquiry-learning process and outcomes in environments differing in structure. The focus on curiosity as individual differences variable was motivated by the importance of curiosity in science education, and uncertainty being central to both the definition of curiosity and the inquiry-learning environment. Curiosity was assessed with the Underwater Exploration game (Jirout, J., & Klahr, D. (2012). Children's scientific curiosity: In search of an operational definition of an elusive concept. Developmental Review, 32, 125–160. doi:10.1016/j.dr.2012.04.002), and inquiry-based learning with the newly developed Scientific Discovery task, which focuses on the principle of designing informative experiments. Structure of the inquiry-learning environment was manipulated by explaining this principle or not. As intelligence relates to learning and possibly curiosity, it was taken into account. Results showed that children's curiosity was positively related to their knowledge acquisition, but not to their quality of exploration. For low intelligent children, environment structure positively affected their quality of exploration, but not their knowledge acquisition. There was no interaction between curiosity and environment structure. These results support the existence of two distinct inquiry-based learning processes – the designing of experiments, on the one hand, and the reflection on performed experiments, on the other – and link children's curiosity to the latter process.     

小学生亲子关系对心理健康影响的调查研究

用问卷调查的方式对 15 4名小学生及其父母进行考察 .结果表明 :小学生主要的不良亲子关系类型为保护型 ;男女生家庭的亲子关系在期待、干涉、矛盾类型上有显著差异 ;低学历的母亲比高学历的母亲对子女期待、不安和溺爱更多 ;男生的心理问题比女生更令人担忧 ;对子女的担心不安和溺爱与儿童的不健康心理有关 .并对此提出相关教育建议 .     

谈小学儿童生活自理能力的培养

生活自理能力是指规划、料理、控制自己的日常生活并处理好人际关系的能力。这种能力是社会适应能力的重要组成部分 ,也是未来社会对人的基本要求。在我国 ,儿童的生活自理能力普遍低下 ,其主要原因是家长的过度爱护和学校、教师在教育儿童当中存在误区。而缺乏基本的生活自理能力不仅不利于儿童学习效率的提高 ,还影响了儿童的心理健康。     

二元制劳动力市场分割理论在中国的验证

本文利用国家统计局城市社会经济调查总队2000年在全国范围内进行的城镇住户调查数据，根据不同职业的收人水平，将劳动力市场分割成主要和次要劳动力市场，并分别统计其工作特征和计算其明瑟收人函数。研究结果表明中国存在二元制的劳动力市场分割；随着地区经济发展水平的提高，劳动力市场分割程度逐渐减弱。     

金华市中小学导入ISO9000族标准的现状调查及分析

中小学导入ISO9000族标准是一个有诸多争议的问题，金华市中小学导入ISO9000族标准处于前期工作阶段。笔者对金华中小学进行了可行性调查。调查表明，从其过程和现状来看，导入是可行的，中小学实施ISO9000族标准质量体系的认证是有利的，但也存在着一定的局限性。     

美国小学德育课程模式历史转型及启示

德育课程是德育工作的核心,美国小学德育课程模式在数百年发展中经历了从单纯移植到建立国家德育体系,并随社会变革使德育课程模式逐步向现代转型,再到从小学德育的世纪改革走向综合德育课程模式新兴的演进历程。数次重大的转型推进了美国德育的现代变革,形成了一个兼容并包、整合互动的德育课程模式,对美国社会发展起了重要作用。     

日本新编小学数学教材的特点

日本新编小学数学教材《算数》根据新的小学算数学习指导要领精简了教学内容。在内容编排上，各领域内容齐头并进、相互融合，各部分内容由易到难、分散安排。在教材编写上，重视通过操作、实验等活动抽象概括出数学知识，重视启发学生思考，重视问题解决，内容编写尽量符合学生的认知特点。     

Assessing Precollege Science Education Outreach Initiatives: A Funder's Perspective

We describe an assessment of the collective impact of 35 grants that the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) made to biomedical research institutions in 1999 to support precollege science education outreach programs. Data collected from funded institutions were compared with data from a control group of institutions that had advanced to the last stage of review but had not been funded. The survey instrument and the results reveal outcomes and impacts that HHMI considers relevant for these programs. The following attributes are considered: ability to secure additional, non-HHMI funding; institution buy-in as measured by gains in dedicated space and staff; enhancement of the program director''s career; number and adoption of educational products developed; number of related publications and awards; percentage of programs for which teachers received course credit; increase in science content knowledge; and increase in student motivation to study science.
