Leading Undergraduate Research Projects in Mathematical Modeling     

Padmanabhan Seshaiyer 《PRIMUS》2017,27(4-5):476-493

Abstract

In this article, we provide some useful perspectives and experiences in mentoring students in undergraduate research (UR) in mathematical modeling using differential equations. To engage students in this topic, we present a systematic approach to the creation of rich problems from real-world phenomena; present mathematical models that are derived from calculus, but can be suitably modified to solve more complex problems; and finally provide pointers on how to train students through the UR process that can help to impact student’s future academic and non-academic careers.  相似文献   

Dimensions of Mathematical Thinking and Learning in ACCEL     

Bharath Sriraman 《Roeper Review》2017,39(3):206-209

Sternberg (2017) summarizes the history of identification of giftedness in the 20th century and presents a case for the shortcomings of measures such as IQ for problem-solving skills required in the 21st century. The Active Concerned Citizenship and Ethical Leadership (ACCEL) model is proposed to replace the outdated construct of IQ, particularly for the field of gifted education. In this commentary, the mathematical dimensions of ACCEL are teased out in contrast to its presence in psychometric testing. Further, what is considered relevant in mathematics for learners today is addressed in relation to the skills outlined in the ACCEL model.  相似文献   

Socioscientific issues via controversy mapping: bringing actor-network theory into the science classroom with digital technology     

Mark Elam  Anne Solli  Åsa Mäkitalo 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2019,40(1):61-77

ABSTRACT

What are the current challenges and opportunities for bringing actor-network theory (ANT) into issues-based science education? This article discusses experiences gained from introducing an educational version of ANT deploying digital technology into an upper secondary school science class. This teaching innovation, called controversy mapping, has been pioneered in different contexts of higher education before being adapted to school education. Experimenting with controversy mapping in a Swedish science class raised both conceptual and practical issues. These centre on: (1) how ANT-inspired controversy mapping redesigns the citizenship training enacted by institutionalized approaches to issues-based education as socioscientific issues (SSI); (2) how controversy mapping reconfigures the interdisciplinarity of issues-based science education; and (3) how controversy mapping displaces scientific literacy and knowledge of the nature of science as guiding concerns for teaching in favour of new preoccupations with digital literacy and digital tools and methods as contemporary infrastructures of free and open inquiry.  相似文献   

关于比较文学学科基本理论的再思考   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

刘象愚 《北京师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2003,(6):56-64

比较文学的危机是学科理论的危机。比较文学亟待对自身做出明晰界定:比较文学是一种文学研究;必须跨越民族和语言的界限;必须抛弃"三跨"或"四跨"之类的旧说,只保留"两跨"的基本要求;比较文学的研究对象是各种文学关系;在理论与方法上应有高度自觉的比较意识。  相似文献

德国汉诺威医学院汉尼拔医学课程模式探析     

陈澜祯 《复旦教育论坛》2020,18(6):106-112

德国汉诺威医学院创立的汉尼拔医学课程模式是一种特殊的医学教育模式，本文从入学选拔、培养目标、课程设置、临床教学、课程考核、教学管理与评价这六个方面对其进行剖析。严格的选拔标准和学医动机考核是准入条件；人才培养以德国国家医学能力框架设定的医学学习目标为指导，注重以患者为中心、以科学研究为导向、以实用为原则；课程设置模块化，课程内容丰富，临床实践开展早；教学过程实行以疾病研究为中心的“学习螺旋”与三级化教学，提供高度跨学科的临床实训；采用客观结构化临床考试是课程考核的主要特点；在教学质量保障上，有受法律保护的教学质量监控管理体系和教学评估监督机制。  相似文献   

合法性的寻求 ——一个美国大学跨学科组织的成长逻辑     

申超  杨沐琳 《复旦教育论坛》2020,18(6):87-93

受传统学术组织的挤压而导致的生存与发展困境，几乎是世界范围内大学跨学科组织发展所面临的共同难题。基于伯顿?克拉克的三角协调模式搭建组织合法性分析框架，对密歇根大学社会研究所进行案例考察，结果表明，该跨学科组织广受赞誉、屹立不倒的成长逻辑蕴含在其对国家与国际合法性、市场与第三部门合法性以及学术合法性的共同追寻之中。它对国家与国际合法性的寻求主要凭借其基于国家公共利益的研究定位和广泛的跨国学术合作而实现，对市场与第三部门合法性的获取主要在于其满足了有关企业和私人基金会的研究诉求，对学术合法性的寻求则主要依靠其整合了多学科的专家学者权威以及推进了相关社会研究方法的专业化。研究结果对于应对大学跨学科组织的成长困境具有重要的启示意义。  相似文献
