Finding the common ground: Teachers' and employers' representations of English in an assessment context          下载免费PDF全文

Simon Child  Martin Johnson  Sanjana Mehta  Annabel Charles 《English in Education》2015,49(2):150-166

There has been a long‐standing debate about how ‘English’ can be defined. Educational policy changes have typically been driven by differing representations of the subject, and have ranged from broad ‘aesthetic’ definitions to more narrow ‘functional’ views. The present study aims to analyse areas of consensus and contention in stakeholders' discourse regarding English. A questionnaire‐based survey and focus groups were used to explore how teachers and employers viewed English as a subject. Their views were conceptualised into three themes: the importance of functional English; English as atomistic versus holistic study; and English as critical thought. These themes are discussed in relation to historical definitions of ‘English’, and their implications for the future reform of English qualifications.  相似文献   

Six into One: The Contradictory Art School Curriculum and how it Came About     

Nicholas Houghton 《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》2016,35(1):107-120

This article reports historical research which sought to understand the present‐day post‐secondary art curriculum through analysing its history in terms of changes in conceptions of art. It found that there have been six distinctive curricula: Apprentice, Academic, Formalist, Expressive, Conceptual and Professional. As a new curriculum has been introduced, it has co‐existed with much contained in a previous one. Most of the curriculum changes have taken place in the past 65 years. During this time, there has been a massive expansion in the education of artists and at the same time art schools accommodated first modernism and then post‐Duchampian aesthetics. A conclusion is that this has made for a very crowded curriculum. Moreover, despite there being an ever increasing choice of things a student might learn, it appears that there is nothing which all students have to learn. It can be problematic that one part of the curriculum is in contradiction to another part, and moreover this lack of a core raises fundamental, ontological questions about what art as a discipline is.  相似文献   

新课程背景下师生教学行为的异化与矫正     

赵传兵 《鸡西大学学报》2015,(4):1-3

新课改以来,由于对课改理念的僵硬化解读,学校精细化管理制度带来的压抑与控制,以及盲目模仿带来的伤根性移植,师生教学行为出现了异化现象:教学资源开发异化为材料的堆砌,教学方法选择异化为学生盲目的探究,教学环境营造异化为缺乏深度思维的"热热闹闹",教学评价异化为盲目赞扬。对课改理念进行个性化解读,学校积极营造创造性教学氛围,以及唤醒师生主体意识是教学异化行为矫正的重要路径。  相似文献

我们该怎样做研究——对课程与教学论主流研究范式的反思     

马勇军 《课程.教材.教法》2011,(7)

重理论思辨、轻实践研究,研究方法简单粗糙,是当前课程与教学论主流研究范式的两大缺陷。欠缺科学精神、方法意识薄弱、评价机制不健全,是造成当前主流研究范式缺陷的主要原因。基于此,应从六个方面改善课程与教学论主流研究范式:关注对实践问题的微观研究和行动研究;加强方法意识,融入科学精神;建立课程与教学论的方法论体系;转变研究思维方式;改善现有评价体系;加强研究生培养过程中方法意识的培养和方法训练。  相似文献   

“我心目中的好课堂”——来自孩子心灵的呼声     

蔡文艺 《江苏教育研究》2011,(1):36-39

对于什么样的＂课＂是＂好课＂,历来有多种说法,可谓仁者见仁,智者见智。然而,这些所谓＂好课标准＂都是成人所构建的。课堂生活是孩子们经历最多、体验最深的一种生活方式。教育现象学研究要求关注教育情境中师生的＂生活体验（世界）＂,关注教育的实际发生领域,关注生活的意义。由此,本研究旨在用教育现象学的方式倾听孩子们内心的声音,用描述性的语言勾勒出孩子们心目中的＂好课堂＂。  相似文献   

Creative Potential within Policy: An Analysis of the 2013 English Literature Curriculum     

Megan Mansworth 《English in Education》2016,50(2):116-129

This article takes as its focus Lefebvre's trialectic of conceived, perceived and lived spaces as a lens through which to scrutinise the 2013 English Literature Curriculum, and to explore the extent to which creative spaces might exist within that curriculum. The article analyses how the curriculum is envisaged by policymakers and how it might be expected to be translated into practice, utilising the wording of the policy document to facilitate an exploration of what its underlying intentions might be. The author's experience of teaching a poem from the new curriculum is used in order to provide illustrative examples of the ways in which teachers’ and learners’ experiences of the curriculum might, in practice, diverge from the direction envisaged by policymakers as teachers negotiate creative spaces within their classrooms.  相似文献

关注联结:复杂性科学视野下大学通识教育课程理论的思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

龙跃君 《高等教育研究》2007,(6)

近现代大学通识教育课程设计主要基于科学课程的理论,当前大学课程存在的主要问题是缺乏知识的联结。复杂性科学关于整体性、关联性和开放性的理论观点,为通识教育课程的研究与创新提供了新的思路。基于复杂性科学的视野,大学通识教育课程理论应当从传统的精义论、均衡论和进步论转向联结论;通识教育的课程编制也应从学科中心、问题中心和方法中心转向以主题为中心的关联组合。  相似文献
