Five critiques of the open educational resources movement

This paper will review existing literature on Open Educational Resources (OER). It is intended to examine and critique the theories which underpin the promotion of OER in higher education, not provide guidance on their implementation. (1) I will introduce the concepts of positive and negative liberty to suggest an under-theorisation of the term ‘open’. (2) OER literature will be shown to endorse a two-tiered system, in which the institution is both maintained and disaggregated. (3) I will highlight a diminishing of the role of pedagogy within the OER vision and the promotion of a learner-centred model for education. (4) This stance will be aligned with humanistic assumptions of unproblematic self-direction and autonomy. (5) I will discuss the extent to which the OER movement aligns itself with economically orientated models of the university. I offer these critiques as a framework for the OER movement to develop as a theoretically rigorous area of scholarship.     

湖北省武术馆校学生与同龄普通中学生目标定向的比较研究

运用目标定向问卷,对湖北省武术馆校学生(n=246,男=152,女=94,年龄11～19 岁)和湖北省普通中学生(n=300,男=157,女=143,年龄12～18 岁)进行了目标定向的测试,研究结果表明了他们的目标定向在不同动机环境(动机气氛)中的差异.     

元认知与学生网络自主学习

网络环境为学生的英语自主学习提供了有利条件,然而学生的自主学习能力不高导致学生在网络自主学习中漫无目的、迷茫、缺乏信心等。元认知能使学生进行自我计划、自我监督、自我评价、自我反思、自我管理,恰好能有效解决网络学习中存在的问题。因此,有必要培养学生的元认知意识、进行以任务为基础和以过程为导向认知策略教学和进行电子学习档案管理以丰富学生的元认知体验,从而提高学生的元认知能力,增强学生的网络自主学习能力。     

柔性管理：导学引思促教学

教学管理目标责任制的实现依赖于教师发展目标的实现。教学管理要建立引导教师发展的模式。建立刚性的制度,规定一些需要完成的任务来进行教学管理。往往效果不佳。鉴于此,要将学习、思考和教学提高变为教师的自主需要,避免教师为完成任务而应付教学管理。要使教学管理变为促进教师成长、提高教学质量的有效手段。
