The moulding of the future of a nation depends on the teachers and the education they provide in schools. Research evidence from the US. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) confirms this to be the case. Quantitative analysis of data indicates that measures associated with pre-service teacher preparation are by far the strongest correlates of student achievement (Darling-Hammond 2000). The research report of Wilson, Floden, and Ferrini-Mundy (2001) also suggests a strong relationship between teacher preparation and teacher effectiveness. Other research studies similarly indicate that differences in teacher quality are the most crucial for student achievement when compared with variables such as class size, streaming, or the amount of homework (Anderson & Helms 2001; Mendro 1998; Powell & Anderson 2002; Rivkin, Hanushek & Kain 2001; Saunders & Horn 1994; Strong & Tucker 2000) as possible contributory factors. In the pursuit of improved student achievement, we therefore need to examine seriously the role of teacher variables, ranging from teacher qualifications and their subject matter knowledge, to what motivates them to take up teaching as a career and as a consequence, how they teach in classrooms.  相似文献

画面主体位置布局的眼动实验及对网络视频资源建设的启示     

曹卫真  车笑琼  祁禄  刘海涛 《远程教育杂志》2013,(5):97-106

在视频画面中传递信息的主要对象是画面主体,画面主体能否引起学生的注意,注意的持久性如何直接影响着学生的学习效果。在归纳"井"形构图的基础上,通过对教学视频画面主体位置的统计发现,教学视频画面中的主体位置普遍以"三分法构图"形式存在。采用心理学研究手段与方法(眼动实验法),研究画面"三分法构图"中主体位置对学生注意的影响,结果显示,主体位于画面中间更能吸引学生的注意力,学生观察画面根据一定的顺序进行的,不同专业学生的眼动指标有差异。  相似文献   

Narrative construction of teacher identity: positioning and negotiation     

Hava Greensfeld 《Teachers and Teaching》2013,19(5):527-551

This study investigates the ways in which the disciplines of science and literature influence concepts related to thinking among teachers at colleges of education. Tools were developed to distinguish between what teachers declared to be important in the thinking skills necessary for their discipline and the skills the teachers actually used. A quantitative and qualitative analysis was carried out of the findings. Thinking skills unique to each discipline and common thinking skills were found. The study revealed the discrepancy between the declared views of thinking skills held by teachers and their active use. Results of this research can help build an environment that develops a culture of thinking among both teachers and future teachers in educational colleges.  相似文献   

Crowdsourcing mode-based learning activity flow approach to promote subject ontology generation and evolution in learning     

Qi Wang  Guozhu Ding 《Interactive Learning Environments》2013,21(7):965-983

ABSTRACT

Subject ontology can help implement the structured organization of knowledge for online learners and thus plays an important role in the learning process. However, building ontologies by experts is time-consuming, and the adaptation of such ontologies to different contexts might be a problem. Crowdsourcing, which allows users to build and refine ontologies during their learning process, has exhibited potential for solving this problem. In this study, a crowdsourcing mode-based learning activity flow approach is proposed to guide the learning of online learners while promoting the generation and evolution of subject ontologies using the learners’ contributions to the learning content. This flow makes full use of the learners’ wisdom during the learning process to promote self-regulated learning as well as the generation and evolution of the ontology. Based on the proposed approach, a learning support system was developed and an experiment conducted involving a Chinese lesson on “The Liangzhou Poem”. In the experiment, student participants built 722 triples, of which 584 evolved as formal items in the subject ontology. Moreover, all learners were able to construct a well-organized knowledge graph. Students in both high- and low-scoring groups contributed valuably to the knowledge generation and evolution of the subject ontology. Furthermore, while the widths of the knowledge constructed by students in high- and low-scoring groups were similar, their depths were substantially different. During this process, the crowdsourcing-based activity flow system achieved satisfactory technique acceptance, which means that the proposed approach and system are useful for the effective generation of subject ontologies while helping learners acquire knowledge.  相似文献   

CAMPUS EARLY CHILDHOOD LABORATORY SCHOOLS: PARTNERS IN TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS     

Jaesook L. Gilbert 《Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education》2013,34(1):67-74

Abstract

Making Theory and Development of Early Childhood Education come alive for elementary master's degree students in two learning sites offers opportunities and challenges. In constructing the class, a primary goal was to expose the students to the context under which early childhood educators developed programs and theories. Also, students were challenged to uncover the relationship that the education of young children had with social change and emerging human rights. Utilizing distance learning, contemporary books such as Who Moved My Cheese (Johnson, 1998) and a field trip to the National Civil Rights Museum and the Rock'n Soul Museum, students developed a sense of the place early childhood education had and continues to have in social change and the advancement of civil rights in this country.  相似文献

一人有限责任公司具有单位犯罪主体资格。其法理依据在于:一人公司符合单位犯罪主体资格法律确认;一人公司刑法单位人格不同于自然人人格;一人公司单位意志与自然人个人意志相区别和一人公司为单位谋取利益与股东利益之界分等。同时,对于一人公司刑法单位人格否定情形,不再以一人公司单位犯罪定罪处罚,而直接追究相关自然人刑事  相似文献
