以强化服务功能为导向的地方高校本科学科专业结构优化研究

地方高校在我国高等教育系统中的比重日益增加,其定位和健康发展已成为影响我国高等教育系统协调发展的重要因素。文章结合高校教学建设和内部机制,分析了高校的学科专业结构问题以及各学科和专业的质量、规模、课程结构。结果表明：高校学科专业结构合理与否会直接影响到高校社会经济效能的发挥,而合理的高校专业结构有助于保持高校与社会供需之间的良性动态平衡。因此,地方高校应调整和优化本科学科专业,以实现区域高等教育与产业发展的成功耦合,提高对地方经济社会的贡献度,并谋求自身的更快发展战略。     

Prior learning in biology at high school does not predict performance in the first year at university

Students in their first year of university face a number of transition issues that can make realising their academic potential difficult. In the sciences, first-year courses cover a large amount of material across broad subject areas, which can make them troublesome for students without background knowledge, and students need to adapt to typically large class sizes and develop active, independent learning skills. We expected a student's prior learning to be important to their academic performance in a large, first-year introductory biology subject and analysed the relationships between students' results in this course with their senior high school results in related subjects over three years from 2007 to 2009. We predicted that students with prior learning in biology would have higher results than those without it, but that chemistry might also be important, given the biochemical nature of much of the course content. Students who completed biology at the senior high school-level did perform better than those who had not, but only if they also completed chemistry. Prior learning in biology was of no benefit to students in first-year biology, except when combined with chemistry, suggesting that potential differences in biology curricula between high school and the first year at university may need to be addressed.

安徽高职教育为地方经济发展服务的问题与策略

高等职业技术教育是教育体系的一部分,是社会经济发展客观要求的产物.安徽经济的快速发展需要高等职业技术教育规模的进一步扩大和教育质量的进一步提高.然而,我省高职教育与经济发展相脱节,在服务地方经济发展中,没有起到很好的作用,这与我们提出的"科教兴省"战略相违背.如果没有政府指引,没有政府相关政策支持,高职院校服务地方经济发展只能是一句空话.     

Science in the Trenches: An Exploration of Four Pre-service Teachers' First Attempts at Teaching Science in the Classroom

This paper explores four students' attempts at teaching science in the real world classroom during their initial student teaching practicum, including their struggles and successes. When pre-service teachers enter their initial practicum experience they are confronted with differing teaching philosophies of their own, their university professors, and their school mentors (Sullivan, Mousley & Gervasioni, 2000; John, 2001; Fu and Shelton, 2002). Within this situation, preservice teachers struggle to find their own niche of teaching science and learn to reflect as both learner and teacher (Kelly, 2000). Our goal as science teacher educators is to help pre-service teachers have an easy transfer from personal university experiences to teaching science in the real classroom environment while maintaining the integrity of newly learned teaching strategies (Segall, 2001). This work adds to and helps guide science teacher educators in identifying difficulties pre-service teachers' experiences in the transition from methods courses to practice.
