‘Surprise Me!’ The (im)possibilities of agency and creativity within the standards framework of history education     

Jennifer Clark  Adele Nye 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2017,49(6):656-668

Abstract

In the current culture of regulation in higher education and, in turn, the history discipline, it is timely to problematize discipline standards in relation to student agency and creativity. This article argues that through the inclusion of a critical orientation and engaged pedagogy, historians have the opportunity to bring a more agentic dimension to the disciplinary conversation. Discipline standards privilege that arrogant historical moment in the higher education sector when certain skills development and knowledge creation becomes a hegemonic discourse. As a result, there is less emphasis on creativity, agency, and individual opportunities for the demonstration of the historical imagination at work. We need to ensure that the insights gained from teaching and learning practice and research are not lost in the rush to meet discipline standards through compliance.  相似文献   

Aesthetic experience and creativity in arts education: Ehrenzweig and the primal syncretistic perception of the child     

Alain Savoie 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2017,47(1):53-66

The pertinence and worth of arts in Quebec primary schools vary considerably from one institution and school administration to another. In this paper it is argued that well-integrated arts education would bring a large array of pedagogical benefits to students, not the least of which is the preservation and the development of aesthetic perception and creativity. Actually, teachers can rely on the syncretistic and amodal perception of the young child, a learning mode that is analogous to the aesthetic experience and fostered by art practices. The paper draws notably on Ehrenzweig and Winnicott to advocate that the school, through arts education, should preserve and make use of this precious perceptive faculty, and temper the educational bias that largely favours the logical or analytical mode of the child. It advocates for an essential developmental balance between the child’s intuitive and analytical faculties, a healthy equilibrium that arts education has the potential to instil. Children and society both have much to gain from the school’s fostering of arts education and aesthetic perception: children from their balanced development and society from future creative citizens’ contributions.  相似文献   

Considerate,convivial and capacious? Finding a language to capture ethos in ‘creative’ schools     

Sara Bragg  Helen Manchester 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2017,38(6):864-879

Concepts of school ‘ethos’ or ‘culture’ have been widely debated in education since the 1980s. This is partly as a consequence of marketisation, partly because ethos has been identified as a low-cost route to school improvement. Corporate, authoritarian, and most recently ‘military’ models of ethos have been widely promulgated in the UK. Another significant strand of educational thinking, however, has emphasised ethos for and as learning: how schools might prefigure alternative, more socially just, worlds. This article argues that accounting for such divergent notions of ethos demands greater attention to the intellectual resources mobilised in interpreting educational processes. We discuss schools that used their work with the English creative learning programme, Creative Partnerships, to develop what we describe as ‘considerate, convivial and capacious’ school ethos. We aim thereby to value their achievements, provide tools to contest dominant discourses around ethos, and advocate more critical, reflexive approaches to researching school cultures.  相似文献   

Why 3D Print? The 21st-Century Skills Students Develop While Engaging in 3D Printing Projects     

Torrey Trust  Robert W. Maloy 《学校用计算机》2017,34(4):253-266

The emergence of 3D printing has raised hopes and concerns about how it can be used effectively as an educational technology in school classrooms. This paper presents the results of a survey asking teachers from multiple grade levels and subject fields about the impact of 3D projects on student learning. Teachers were asked about the kinds of 3D projects they were doing with students and what skills or knowledge students were developing by participating in those projects. Participants reported that their students developed a number of skills while working on 3D printing projects, including 3D modeling, creativity, technology literacy, problem-solving, self-directed learning, critical thinking, and perseverance. Parallels between teacher-identified skills and widely cited lists of 21^st-century skills suggest that 3D projects are a promising approach to preparing students for life and work in a digital age.  相似文献

当代西方创造力研究的考察   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

赵春音 《科学学研究》2003,21(4):362-366

首先 ,当代西方创造力研究是对历史上有关种种神秘创造观念的根本否定 ,这可根源于其实用主义的哲学背景、对实验心理学研究传统的继承以及近代自然科学飞速发展的大背景。其次 ,文章对吉尔福特、托兰斯、郎利和琼斯、斯堪克、约翰逊·赖德等人的创造力研究模式进行了述评 ,指出当代西方创造力研究虽以认知研究为特色 ,但在强调科学性、精确性的同时 ,却陷入以“方法中心”消解“问题中心”的困境 ,呈现出“学术科学主义”的倾向  相似文献

北美大学校园篮球赛学生自组织体系研究及启示     

佘艳丽 《广州体育学院学报》2018,(4):47-49

美国和加拿大的大学校园中活跃着由学生自己组织、组队的篮球比赛,其赛制和比赛现场设计极力模仿NBA的做法,将这种学生自己的篮球赛事组织体系称为自组织体系。这种组织形式极大地调动了学生参与的积极性,使篮球运动在校园中得到有效普及,同时,学生通过参与这项活动,其组织协调等综合能力得到了很好的锻炼。我国大学生篮球运动经过改革开放后的发展,目前似乎已到达一个瓶颈,积极推广北美大学生自组织体系对于发展我国大学校园篮球运动、加强对学生自主性和创造性能力的培养都具有十分积极的意义。  相似文献
