Abstract This paper addresses the nature of reflective classroom practice in a setting where action research has been undertaken by both the student teachers and the teaching practice supervisor. It is based on a cross‐case study of the processes through which student teachers learn to teach. Specifically, the analysis focuses on how student teachers reflect on their experiences in learning to teach. The data are based on student teachers’ reported thoughts about their learning over a period of one year. The results contribute to the understanding of reflective classroom practice by highlighting first student teachers’ perceptions about learning to teach and second their reviews on classroom practice. The discussion also adds to the literature on teacher development taken from the novice‐expert research tradition. Accordingly, implications for curriculum development in teacher education are drawn. 相似文献

The main purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of an activity with an educational electronic book (e-book) on language retention among children at risk for learning disabilities (LD) (seven weeks after the intervention). Two modes of the educational e-book were investigated: with and without metacognitive guidance. Seventy seven kindergarteners aged 4.5–7 were randomly divided into three groups: (1) reading an e-book which included metacognitive guidance (EBM); (2) reading an e-book which did not include metacognitive guidance (EB); (3) receiving the regular kindergarten program (control). The children’s vocabulary was assessed before the intervention, immediately after the intervention (post 1) and seven weeks later (post 2). Story comprehension was assessed only following the intervention (post 1 and 2). The findings showed a long-term effect of the activity with the e-book on vocabulary. However, for story comprehension, a decrease in recall of words and quotes and an increase in the recall of main ideas from the story were found seven weeks after the activity with the e-book. No significant difference in retention was found between the two intervention groups (with and without metacognitive guidance). The implications of these results for kindergarteners at risk for LD are discussed. 相似文献

Most governments, at an official level, espouse the principles of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Among its statements is that education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Yet while the façade of government education systems presents an image that instruction is free of charge, families across the world increasingly find it necessary to invest in the so-called shadow education system of private supplementary tutoring. The spread of shadow education, which is no longer confined to relatively prosperous families, has far-reaching implications for social inequalities and therefore social justice. It is a hidden form of privatisation behind the façade of public education systems; and the fact that shadow education is seen by many families as unavoidable appears to be incompatible with the spirit of the Universal Declaration. The question then is whether the spirit of the Universal Declaration should be abandoned, or whether it should be protected—and, if so, how. 相似文献

Reading electronic and printed books with and without adult instruction: effects on emergent reading
The effects of electronic book (e-book) and printed book reading on children’s emergent reading with and without adult instruction
were investigated. One hundred twenty-eight 5- to 6-year-old kindergarten children from low SES families were randomly assigned
to one of four groups (32 children each): (1) independently reading the e-book (EB); (2) reading the e-book with adult instruction
(EBI); (3) reading the printed book with adult instruction (PBI); and (4) receiving the regular kindergarten program (control).
The three intervention groups included four book-reading sessions each. Pre- and post-intervention emergent reading measures
included concept about print (CAP), word reading, and phonological awareness. The results showed that the EBI group achieved
greater progress in word reading and CAP than all other groups. The EBI group also achieved greater progress in phonological
awareness than the EB and the control groups. Implications for future research and for educators are discussed. 相似文献

Research Findings: We present 3 studies that focused on preschoolers’ electronic book (e-book) reading in different contexts aimed at supporting children’s early literacy. In Study 1 we researched the impact of children’s age and number of independent readings on phonological awareness and word reading. We found that all age groups benefited from e-book reading, and 5 readings benefited most skills better than 3. In Study 2 we investigated (a) parents’ behavior during joint e-book reading with their children compared to joint printed book reading and (b) parental mediation in joint reading of a considerate e-book compared to joint reading of an inconsiderate e-book. The joint printed book reading yielded more expanding talk than the joint e-book reading, and reading the considerate e-book yielded higher expanding talk than reading the inconsiderate e-book. In Study 3 we compared adult support in joint e-book reading to joint printed book reading and compared both readings to children’s independent e-book reading. Reading the e-book with adult support assisted children in progressing in phonological awareness and word reading compared to other group reading. Practice or Policy: Well-designed e-books may serve as good tools to support children’s early literacy, and when parents or educators read them with children, children’s progress is enhanced. We recommend that these findings be taken into account by e-book designers, policymakers, teachers, and parents. 相似文献

Higher education in small territories : Political transition and development in Macau 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Scholars and practitioners have argued with increasing force that small states are not simply small-scale versions of large
states. Rather, they have suggested, small states have distinctive generic features and require distinctive policies. This
paper focuses on Macau, which is an autonomous Special Administrative Region within China, and which has features which are
comparable to those of small sovereign states. The paper shows ways in which Macau’s small size has shaped higher education
in the territory. Small size is of course not the only determinant of the shape and scale of higher education in Macau, but
it is nevertheless shown to be a significant determinant. Through this case study, the paper contributes to the broader literature
on education in small states. 相似文献
