A Review of: “Student Success in College: Creating Conditions that Matter”     

Reviewed by Trudy H. Bers 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(7):579-582

Scholarship matters. It allows faculty to fulfill the responsibilities of their three academic citizenships--in their institutions, in their disciplines, and in higher education in general. Current standards for community college faculty scholarship, however, have excluded faculty from exercising academic citizenship outside of their institutions. The sector claim to a unique teaching mission has been used to exempt or exclude community college faculty from the scholarly obligations and responsibilities understood elsewhere in higher education. The absence of generally accepted norms for scholarly production and validation at most community colleges continues to set them apart from other institutions, including those also serving non-traditional open admissions students. By discouraging externally validated scholarship, community colleges deny their faculty an appropriate voice in higher education and deny the rest of higher education the important voice of community college faculty. By encouraging scholarship that meets the tests of external scrutiny, community colleges can provide their faculty with legitimate higher education citizenship beyond the institution.  相似文献   

Assessments of Student–Teacher Relationships in Residential Treatment Center Schools     

Kathleen Moritz Rudasill  Amy B. Gonshak  Patrick Pössel  Andrew Nichols  Natalie Stipanovic 《Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk》2013,18(3-4):193-211

Students in residential treatment center (RTC) schools are likely to have histories of extreme or ongoing relational trauma (e.g., abuse and neglect by primary caregivers), have substantial interpersonal and relationship problems, and exhibit many high-risk behaviors. Accordingly, these students may have particular difficulty forming positive relationships with teachers, yet student–teacher relationship quality in RTC schools has not been empirically studied. This study examines links between RTC school students' assessments of their relationships with teachers and their perceptions of self and others. Participants were 113 students in 2 RTC schools from 5th to 12th grade. Results indicate that male and female RTC students' positive perceptions (of self and others) are linked to positive assessments of their relationships with teachers. However, for girls in RTC schools, negative perceptions of self are linked to less positive assessments of the teacher–student relationship. Implications are discussed.  相似文献   

OBSTACLES AND OPPORTUNITIES: CREATING EARLY CHILDHOOD PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHOOLS     

James C. Stroud  Patricia Clark 《Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education》2013,34(1):39-46

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight key findings from a study of 24 early childhood preservice teachers as they moved away from a reliance on traditional interpretations of child‐centered curricula toward one of collaborative inquiry. Participants enrolled in a 15 week undergraduate teaching methods course were assigned to teaching teams to implement collaborative projects with the same group of 3–5‐year‐old children. The study utilized both quantitative and qualitative measures to assess conceptual level, changes in reflectivity, and inquiry‐oriented teaching. Results suggest that the emergence of collaborative inquiry among preservice teachers is a dynamic and diverse process not readily assessed by static measures or discreet skills. Collaborative projects did provide a context for creating communities of learners within which time, space and opportunity to practice, reflect and use language and other tools contributed to young teachers’ development of inquiry.  相似文献   

让MOOCs更有意义:在谎言、悖论和可能性的迷宫中沉思     

约翰·丹尼尔英  王志军著  赵文涛编译 《现代远程教育研究》2013,(3):3-12,27

大规模开放网络课程(MOOCs)是一种以开放访问和大规模参与为目的的在线课程。MOOCs作为一种新的教育技术,包括cMOOCs和xMOOCs两种,前者以联通主义理论为基础,强调知识创新与生成;后者以行为主义理论为基础,关注知识重复。两者在教学理念上差异很大,用同一术语表述很容易使人混淆。同以往各种形式的信息技术一样,MOOCs在本质上是一系列操作符号的工具,同时也是基于互联网的低成本教育材料分发和共享的工具,因此在对待MOOCs变革传统高等教育这一问题上应该理性。目前媒体、商业集团和高校机构对xMOOCs的关注处于一种狂热状态,缺乏系统而理性的学术研究,主要体现出四个谎言和悖论:一是学校品牌是教学质量的象征,而实际上它们的声誉是由其研究赢得的,并非教学质量,xMOOCs的低完成率为传统高校所不齿;二是多数xMOOCs机构对成功通过课程考试的学生只提供证书,不生成学分,对比传统学校教育,意味着对学生学业的认证取决于招生而不是课程学习;三是xMOOCs是一种新的教学法并支持个性化学习,而实际上他们采用的是一种过时的行为主义教学法;四是xMOOCs一方面期望和推崇"让知识成为人类共同财产"的理想,却又一方面在积极探索能够盈利的商业模式。MOOCs在炒作背后应该回归理性的发展轨迹,其对传统教育的真正变革应该是将xMOOCs置于全世界公众的视野中,迫使这些机构重视教学和教学法,并将教学作为其核心使命。  相似文献   

野狐山上护鹭人     

张建成 《文化交流》2013,(8):70-73

前些日子,我经友人介绍而去野狐山拍摄白鹭。山道旁有人在钉挂木牌。木牌略略陈旧,上面写着宣传语"爱鸟护鸟是人类的美德"。"橐橐"或"嗒嗒"的敲击声在林中似乎清越。我向他询问,果然他就是这野狐山上护鹭人—邵伟荣。简单客套寒暄几句,邵伟荣要继续巡山,让我随意而行,约好中午一起吃饭。白鹭多数为候鸟,少数为留鸟。每年春天,白鹭从热带越冬归来,在野狐山栖息生活。野狐山在浙江省兰溪市游埠镇境内,是浙西山区中的丘陵一冈,山上以樟树和杉树为林。  相似文献

Career paths of Swedish top-level women soccer players     

Rebecca Andersson  Natalie Barker-Ruchti 《Soccer & Society》2019,20(6):857-871

This study explores seven Swedish top-level women’s soccer players’ career development experiences. Data were produced through semi-structured interviews and a biographical mapping grid. The theoretical framework of ‘careership’ was employed to understand the data. The results showed homogenous career paths. Moreover, the data show that the players decided at a young age to pursue a career in soccer; experienced the transition from junior to senior level soccer as difficult because of a lack of physical preparedness; soccer over school commitments. We recommend that soccer stakeholders (e.g. federations, clubs, coaches) give the transition from junior to senior level soccer special attention to prevent intense demands that may cause dropout. We further propose that if athletes should give sport and education equal priority, the Swedish dual career concept of high school education and sport needs further reflection and adjustment.  相似文献   

There’s a creepy guy on the other end at Google!: engaging middle school students in a drawing activity to elicit their mental models of Google     

Christie Kodama  Beth St. Jean  Mega Subramaniam  Natalie Greene Taylor 《Information Retrieval》2017,20(5):403-432

Although youth are increasingly going online to fulfill their needs for information, many youth struggle with information and digital literacy skills, such as the abilities to conduct a search and assess the credibility of online information. Ideally, these skills encompass an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the ways in which a system, such as a Web search engine, functions. In order to investigate youths’ conceptions of the Google search engine, a drawing activity was conducted with 26 HackHealth after-school program participants to elicit their mental models of Google. The findings revealed that many participants personified Google and emphasized anthropomorphic elements, computing equipment, and/or connections (such as cables, satellites and antennas) in their drawings. Far fewer participants focused their drawings on the actual Google interface or on computer code. Overall, their drawings suggest a limited understanding of Google and the ways in which it actually works. However, an understanding of youths’ conceptions of Google can enable educators to better tailor their digital literacy instruction efforts and can inform search engine developers and search engine interface designers in making the inner workings of the engine more transparent and their output more trustworthy to young users. With a better understanding of how Google works, young users will be better able to construct effective queries, assess search results, and ultimately find relevant and trustworthy information that will be of use to them.  相似文献   

关于武王伐纣之年的再研究

“慧星出而授殷入其柄”为武王伐封时重要天象，此慧星为布罗逊——梅特卡夫慧星，规模媲美哈慧。公元前1045年3月7日该星回归近日点，元前1045年1月5日牧野之战前后，黎明前出现于东方。“卜世三十，卜年七百”及“五星聚房”、“岁在鹑火”与姬昌称王、武王翦商的年代相符。王自称王始至周室东迁兼行二历制。  相似文献
