Student Perceptions of Chemistry Laboratory Learning Environments, Student–Teacher Interactions and Attitudes in Secondary School Gifted Education Classes in Singapore     

Quek Choon Lang  Angela F. L. Wong  Barry J. Fraser 《Research in Science Education》2005,35(2-3):299-321

This study investigated the chemistry laboratory classroom environment, teacher–student interactions and student attitudes towards chemistry among 497 gifted and non-gifted secondary-school students in Singapore. The data were collected using the 35-item Chemistry Laboratory Environment Inventory (CLEI), the 48-item Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) and the 30-item Questionnaire on Chemistry-Related Attitudes (QOCRA). Results supported the validity and reliability of the CLEI and QTI for this sample. Stream (gifted versus non-gifted) and gender differences were found in actual and preferred chemistry laboratory classroom environments and teacher–student interactions. Some statistically significant associations of modest magnitude were found between students' attitudes towards chemistry and both the laboratory classroom environment and the interpersonal behaviour of chemistry teachers. Suggestions for improving chemistry laboratory classroom environments and the teacher–student interactions for gifted students are provided.  相似文献   

University-industry linkages in the UK: What are the factors underlying the variety of interactions with industry?   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

P. D’Este  P. Patel 《Research Policy》2007,36(9):1295-1313

This paper examines the different channels through which academic researchers interact with industry and the factors that influence the researchers’ engagement in a variety of interactions. This study is based on a large scale survey of UK academic researchers. The results show that university researchers interact with industry using a wide variety of channels, and engage more frequently in the majority of the channels examined - such as consultancy & contract research, joint research, or training - as compared to patenting or spin-out activities. In explaining the variety and frequency of interactions, we find that individual characteristics of researchers have a stronger impact than the characteristics of their departments or universities. Finally, we argue that by paying greater attention to the broad range of knowledge transfer mechanisms (in addition to patenting and spin-outs), policy initiatives could contribute to building the researchers’ skills necessary to integrate the worlds of scientific research and application.  相似文献   

E-prints预印本数据库的自组织同行评议模式设计     

王凌峰  孙英潮 《现代情报》2016,36(5):9-15

经历21世纪前十年快速发展后,OA期刊与预印本数据库发展遭遇瓶颈,最主要原因是OA期刊与预印本数据库至今未能构建一套评议效度不低于传统同行评议模式、适应开放存取环境的新型同行评议模式。本文提出一种预印本数据库环境下,不需要传统编辑介入与期刊载体、由预印本系统按照客观规则与算法推动同行评议活动持续进行、"人人评我、我评人人"的自组织同行评议模式。将自组织同行评议模式与现有代表性同行评议模式进行了比较。预印本数据库下的自组织同行评议模式能够很大程度上消除传统同行评议模式以及我国学术出版与学术评价中存在的诸多弊端,具有范式变革的理论价值以及为构建我国国家级预印本数据库提供决策参考的实践价值。  相似文献   

知乎问答社区回答者知识贡献行为受同伴效应影响研究     

陈小卉  胡平  周奕岑 《情报学报》2020,39(4):450-458

社会化问答社区的出现改变了原有的问答模式并拓展了知识获取的途径。回答者作为知识的主要贡献者,是促进问答社区内知识传递的核心要素。现有关于问答社区用户的研究普遍以用户的属性数据为依据,较少考虑使用个体连接所形成的关系数据进行分析。本文以中文问答社区"知乎"为研究对象,爬取了"流行音乐"和"英语学习"两个话题下的大规模数据,通过构建回答者关注关系网络,定义和量化直接连接和间接连接两类同伴关系,使用网络自回归模型探究同伴效应对知识贡献行为的影响。研究发现,回答者的知识贡献行为会受到直接和间接连接同伴效应的正向影响,但是间接连接同伴效应会随着回答者网络密度的增加而逐渐减弱甚至消失,聚类系数对回答者的知识贡献行为有负向影响。  相似文献

融合环境中的同伴支持:一个未被利用的资源   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

郭军  牟映雪 《外国教育研究》2011,(10):6-11

在融合教育日益成为一种发展趋势的今天,如何让更多的残障学生在普教课堂中得到多种多样的支持与帮助,是我们必须面对和解决的问题。在融合环境中,全班配对同伴指导、同伴辅助式学习策略、跨年龄指导计划、高年级同伴指导、同伴指导课程和合作课堂等,被证明是较为有效的同伴支持策略和方法。通过融合环境中的同伴支持,建立一个所有人都能得到重视与尊重的社会,才能真正实现教育公平。同时,残障学生与健全学生都可在合作与支持的融合过程中,寻得彼此的受益点。  相似文献   

Learning while playing: Children's Forest School experiences in the UK   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Janine K. Coates  Helena Pimlott-Wilson 《British Educational Research Journal》2019,45(1):21-40

Children's outdoor play is declining, despite clear links between play, learning and development. Alternative learning initiatives which provide children with a diversity of play opportunities, including the chance to play outdoors, are therefore needed. One such programme, Forest School, is increasing in popularity in the UK and internationally, yet little is understood about its impact on children's learning, or how alternative approaches are informing learning in mainstream settings. This novel study examined primary school children's experiences of engaging in a Forest School programme in relation to this intersection between formal and informal approaches to learning. It explored how children interpret their experiences when faced with a fusion of learning environments and critically evaluates the benefits children realise, when asked to reflect on their learning engagement in both classroom and outdoor settings. Interviews were conducted with 33 children from two mainstream primary schools in England who had recently completed a 6-week Forest School programme. A rigorous phenomenological thematic analysis revealed three inter-related themes: a break from routine; learning through play; collaboration and teamwork. The findings suggest that the blending of Forest School with mainstream settings contributes to children's social, cognitive, emotional and physical skill development through experiential learning using play. These findings are significant because they not only emphasise the values of social constructivist play-pedagogy which underpin Forest School practice, but also highlight the need for primary schools to consider learning outside of the classroom as an effective pedagogy.  相似文献

近年来,同伴评估在我国第二语言教学的领域里逐步渗透,已经出现很多在口语和写作方面的研究报告。其中,多数研究的方向为同伴评估的可行性分析。但是对于同伴评估在英语教学方面的理论基础与现实基础是否能够在一定程度上融合鲜有研究分析。中国教育体制下的课堂有其自身的特点,在国外已认可的同伴评估的方式,是否适合中国的学生、中国的教育模式有待进一步探讨。  相似文献   

Discourse forms in a classroom transitioning to student-centred scientific inquiry through co-teaching     

Carol A. B. Rees  Wolff-Michael Roth 《International Journal of Science Education》2019,41(5):586-606

Teacher–student discourse continues to be teacher-centred even though researchers and reform documents have recommended changes toward increased levels of student-centred discourse. In science education this situation is paralleled by effort to make scientific inquiry more student-centred. The purpose of this study was to investigate how discourse forms changed over time in a classroom where the regular teacher and his students were scaffolded in the transitioning to student-centred scientific inquiry. Video-recordings were collected at intervals over one academic year. Three prominent forms of discourse were identified: two teacher-authoritative forms and one more interactive, dialogic form. As the lessons increasingly turned into student-centred scientific inquiry, a shift to the dialogic discourse form was found. Co-teaching provided for (a) guidance towards an organisation of events in the classroom that included regular teacher–student dialogue (b) modelling of the more dialogic form of discourse.  相似文献
