This study is part of a 5‐year professional development intervention aimed at improving science and literacy achievement of English language learners (or ELL students) in urban elementary schools within an environment increasingly driven by high‐stakes testing and accountability. Specifically, the study examined science achievement at the end of the first‐year implementation of the professional development intervention that consisted of curriculum units and teacher workshops. The study involved 1,134 third‐grade students at seven treatment schools and 966 third‐grade students at eight comparison schools. The results led to three main findings. First, treatment students displayed a statistically significant increase in science achievement. Second, there was no statistically significant difference in achievement gains between students at English to Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) levels 1 to 4 and students who had exited from ESOL or never been in ESOL. Similarly, there was no significant difference in achievement gains between students who had been retained on the basis of statewide reading test scores and students who had never been retained. Third, treatment students showed a higher score on a statewide mathematics test, particularly on the measurement strand emphasized in the intervention, than comparison students. The results indicate that through our professional development intervention, ELL students and others in the intervention learned to think and reason scientifically while also performing well on high‐stakes testing. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

测绘工程专业基础类课程的定位与内容整合     

胡振琪  赵艳玲  李晶 《煤炭高等教育》2008,26(4):95-96

测绘工程专业是为国家培养测绘科学与技术人才的一个非常实用的专业。该专业的基础类课程包括“普通测量学”、“控制测量学”、“工程测量学”和“矿山测量学”四门。对这四门基础类课程如何既体现系统性又避免内容重复和遗漏进行研究,明确它们各自在该专业的定位及相应的教学内容,为该专业培养计划的制定提供参考。  相似文献   

信息技术与数学学科教学整合的尝试与思考   总被引：8，自引：5，他引：8  

王旭媚 《数学教育学报》2004,13(2):97-98

信息技术与数学学科教学的整合并不是将两者简单地结合,而是有机地融合.整合思想包括:优化学习环境、丰富学习资源以及利用信息加工工具让学生知识重构.在数学学科教学中,运用多媒体网络教学、利用数学软件开展数学实验、建立个人教学辅导网站等方法,可以引发以下思考:教师的观念必须更新,教师的专业素养和信息素养提高.  相似文献   

They have gone,and now what? Understanding re-enrolment patterns in the Catalan public higher education system

Studies of student re-enrolment patterns in higher education constitute, along with traditional studies of persistence and dropout, a key element for improving the quality of higher education institutions. However, these studies tend to be limited as they are centred on a single institution, due to the lack of national-scale data sets for monitoring students between different institutions. Using a longitudinal population-based data set provided by the Catalan University Assurance Agency (AQU), which includes information records on 21,473 undergraduate students, this paper aims to develop and test an exploratory model of student re-enrolment, specifically in the Catalan public university system. We are not only interested in student re-enrolment, but also in whether they do so during the first year after dropout or in the same area of knowledge. Results from logistic regression analysis revealed that although most students return to the university system in the first year after dropout, many of these change to a different area of knowledge, which is clear evidence of dysfunctional and inefficient guidance systems and university entrance. Findings provide a more accurate and complete picture of student re-enrolment behaviour and suggest the need to develop targeted policies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our university systems.  相似文献   

多元智力与扬长教育     

谭小林 《涪陵师范学院学报》2003,19(6):121-123

智力是彼此相对独立的，它以多元形式共存。多元智力理论体现出差异性、化性与实践性等特征。多元智力理论为开展扬长教育实验提供了理论支撑，为探索扬长教育的目标、核心、途径、评价提供了许多有益的启示。  相似文献

和谐社会视角下传统道德观与法治精神的当代整合     

于永成 《沈阳教育学院学报》2006,8(2):9-11

构建和谐社会，需要法律和道德在功能上互补，观念上协调，但二者之间的“裂痕”越来越显露出来。因此，扬弃传统道德观念，以现代法治精神为基准进行整合，是当前道德建设和法制建设的需要，更是构建和谐社会内在的、迫切的要求。  相似文献

西方思想史上关于法律与道德之关系的论争     

段晓梅  唐天富 《渭南师范学院学报》2002,17(4):29-31

从古希腊、古罗马的法律观，到近现代西方法理学，西方法学家充分论述了法律与道德之前的关系。法律与道德的关系发展演变，呈现出相对和谐的一体化，不同程度的剥离与理性的整合的趋势。法律与道德之间互动的最终归宿将是一种规范，既是法律，又是道德。  相似文献
