The Social Adjustment of Three, Young, High-Achieving Korean-English Bilingual Students in Kindergarten     

Jiyoung Ryu 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2004,32(3):165-171

This research article describes the English acquisition of three, young, high-achieving, Korean, bilingual students, their academic development and their social/psychological adjustment in school. All observations and interviews were conducted in the natural classroom setting. The Korean children underwent different school experiences, partially contingent upon their English proficiency, but they generally demonstrated rapid English acquisition and healthy adjustment to school. The study findings suggest that teachers and parents play an important role in supporting their bilingual children's adjustments to new environments while preserving fundamental aspects of their original culture. Recommendations for both mainstream andbilingual teachers are suggested to further an understanding of Korean children, as English language learners and enable these children to become bilingual in Korean and English.  相似文献

家庭教育支出的阶层差异及其社会意义     

曾晓东 《教育学报》2008,4(6):80-86

教育作为社会事业的组成部分,社会分层现象必然对它产生深远影响。通过对家庭教育支出进行分类别分析,得出三个关键性的结论。首先,学校收取的两类教育费用的阶层差异相对较小,分布均匀,收费治理已经取得明显收效;其次,家庭教育支出的阶层差异主要反映在选择性教育支出项目上,择校和课外辅导支出反映出明显的阶层偏好;第三,交付学校用于购买必要学习用品和住宿的费用在各类家庭中的差别不大,但是,对低收入家庭是较沉重的负担。在数据分析的基础上,还就家庭教育支出的政策意义和社会意义进行了研究,指出改进教育预算制度、对学习用品和住宿进行补贴是提高财政投入效率的有效措施。  相似文献   

公共性:学校制度变革的基本价值   总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13  

余雅风 《教育研究》2005,(4)

公共性作为现代教育最基本的特性,是学校制度形成的逻辑起点,应在学校制度中得到最明显的体现。公共性所表现出的合理性、公益性、公平性和公开性,为学校制度分析提供了基本的价值维度。将公共性作为学校制度的基本价值有利于推动学校制度建立公共理念,有利于建立有效的学校评估范式,有利于建立行为规则并保证学校制度的实施,有利于保证对学校制度性问题的认定合理有效。  相似文献

Engaging the ‘maximal’ intentions of the citizenship curriculum: one teacher's story     

Amanda Keddie 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2008,38(2):171-185

Exploring how the transformative intentions within the mandated citizenship curriculum framework for English schools demand a particular kind of citizenship teacher – one who ‘acts against the grain’ of the inequities and injustices of the social world – this paper presents Mr C's story. Mr C is a secondary teacher at an Upper School located north of London. The paper considers the significance of his philosophies and knowledge in enabling practice aimed at developing students' socially inclusive but critical understandings of diversity and difference. Mr C's well‐defined personal philosophies about justice and the ‘common good’ and his capacity to translate these philosophies into practice are presented as central to mobilising the transformative or ‘maximal’ intentions of the citizenship curriculum. In highlighting the complexities and sophistication in Mr C's approach, however, the issues presented in this paper further strengthen the critique regarding the curriculum's depoliticised approach. While Mr C draws on the curriculum as a political device to support equity goals, it cannot be assumed that citizenship teachers more generally will have the requisite philosophies and knowledge necessary to do so.  相似文献   

Benefits of personality characteristics and self‐efficacy in the perceived academic achievement of medical students     

Sabine Guntern  Hanke Korpershoek  Greetje van der Werf 《教育心理学》2017,37(6):733-744

This study investigates the joint impact of personality characteristics and self‐efficacy on the perceived academic achievement of medical students on top of their prior high school performance. The sample consisted of medical students in their pre‐clinical years. The students’ grade point average scores at high school were included as control variable in our explanatory models. Based on previous findings in the literature, we selected self‐discipline, social activity and emotional stability from the Five Factor Model of Personality as predictor variables. Furthermore, following the social cognitive theory of Bandura, we added self‐efficacy (students’ belief in their academic skills) as an additional predictor. The logistic regression analyses confirmed the importance of self‐discipline (positively related) and social activity (negatively related) for these students’ perceived academic achievement. Additionally, we found a positive contribution of self‐efficacy. The results of this study (as discussed in the final sections) have implications for support programmes in the practical field.  相似文献   

Travels in extreme social mobility: how first-in-family students find their way into and through medical education

ABSTRACT

Higher education is understood as essential to enabling social mobility. Research and policy have centred on access to university, but recently attention has turned to the journey of social mobility itself – and its costs. Long-distance or ‘extreme’ social mobility journeys particularly require analysis. This paper examines journeys of first-in-family university students in the especially high-status degree of medicine, through interviews with 21 students at an Australian medical school. Three themes are discussed: (1) the roots of participants’ social mobility journeys; (2) how sociocultural difference is experienced and negotiated within medical school; and (3) how participants think about their professional identities and futures. Students described getting to medical school ‘the hard way’, and emphasised the different backgrounds and attitudes of themselves and their wealthier peers. Many felt like ‘imposters’, using self-deprecating language to highlight their lack of ‘fit’ in the privileged world of medicine. However, such language also reflected resistance to middle-class norms and served to create solidarity with community of origin, and, importantly, patients. Rather than narratives of loss, students’ stories reflect a tactical refinement of self and incorporation of certain middle-class attributes, alongside an appreciation of the worth their ‘difference’ brings to their new destination, the medical profession.  相似文献
