Facilitating flexible learning by replacing classroom time with an online learning environment: A systematic review of blended learning in higher education

Higher education institutions are trying to provide more flexibility and individualization, which is mainly realized through the use of new technologies and implemented in online or blended learning designs. This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of replacing classroom time with an online learning environment. The meta-analysis (k = 21 effect sizes) applied strict inclusion criteria concerning research design, measurement of learning outcomes and implementation of blended learning. The estimated effect size (Hedge's g) was positive, although not significantly different from zero and the confidence interval [-0.13, 0.25], suggesting that overall differences between blended and conventional classroom learning are small, and, at best, very small negative or moderate positive effects are plausible. This means that despite a reduction in classroom time between 30 and 79 per cent, equivalent learning outcomes were found. Consequently, blended learning with reduced classroom time is not systematically more or less effective than conventional classroom learning.     

Modelling the long-run learning impact of the Covid-19 learning shock: Actions to (more than) mitigate loss

This paper uses a calibrated “pedagogical production function” model to estimate the potential long-term losses to children’s learning from the temporary shock of Covid-19 related school closures. It then models possible gains from two mitigation strategies. Without mitigation, children could lose more than a full year’s worth of learning from a three-month school closure because they will be behind the curriculum when they re-enter school and will fall further behind as time goes on. Remediation when children return to school reduces the long-term learning loss by half, but still leaves children more than half a year behind where they would have been with no shock. Remediation combined with long-term reorientation of curriculum to align with children’s learning levels fully mitigates the long-term learning loss due to the shock and surpasses the learning in the counterfactual of no shock by more than a full year’s worth of learning. Systems need to begin planning now for remediation programmes, and as they do so they should build programmes and train teachers in ways that can continue to produce benefits beyond the period immediately following reopening.     

河南女性作家的崛起与当代文学中的“中原经验”

女性作家群体的崛起是河南文坛的新现象。以邵丽、乔叶为代表的女性作家最初大胆书写女性情感经验,接受后现代主义观念,质疑由男性作家主导的本质化宏大叙事,为河南文学提供了新的面相,冲击了当代文学中以表现乡土苦难、批判乡村权力见长的"中原经验"。女性作家的创作在走向成熟的过程中,逐渐摆脱了单向度的女性意识表达,对社会历史的复杂性有了深入的体认,开始直面城镇化转型中的中原大地现实,创作出了社会关怀强烈、生活观照深入、情感指向博大的作品,较好地丰富了当代文学中的"中原经验"。

文章简要地分析了教育技术导论课程的特点及其在目前的教学中存在的问题,提出以学习共同体作为学习组织形式开展教学,既可以丰富课堂教学形式,也能通过师生及同伴之间的互动,促进学习者独立思考,逐步建构自己对教育技术的理解。     

关于平均指标若干问题的探讨

目前统计界在对平均指标的概念、数理基础及应用分析等方面的阐述还存在一些疑点。重新界定平均指标的概念、阐明统计平均数与数学平均数的区别、进一步明确调和平均数的应用场合，是非常必要的。     

齐海峰竞技成绩的灰色关联分析及GM(1,N)动态协调模型的研究

采用文献资料法和灰色关联度分析法,对我国优秀男子十项全能运动员齐海峰1999-2002年十项全能的比赛成绩进行统计与分析,运用GM(1,N)动态协调模型对其在总成绩不断提高的各个阶段诸因素间相互联系、相互影响的辩证发展关系进行多方位、多层次研究。结果表明:100米跑、铅球和跳远是影响齐海峰专项成绩的关键因素,其关联度分别为0.8928、0.7443和0.7571,研究还发现,齐海峰在成绩提高的每一个阶段中,系统处于不稳定和非协调发展,其中速度和速度——力量性项目落后是导致系统不稳定和非协调发展的主要因素。
