Role of teacher-related factors and educational resources in science literacy: An international perspective     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2020

The study evaluated the relationship among teaching, leadership, teacher certification, student and teacher number related factors, and index of economic, social and cultural status (ESCS), and science literacy from an international comparative perspective. 2015 dataset of the Programme for International Student Assessment for Turkey, Singapore, the United States, Korea, Italy, and Brazil was used. Two-level hierarchical linear models were established for analysis. Results revealed that school ESCS was the best predictor of science literacy across six countries and additionally teacher-related factors came to the forefront of science literacy performance. The study underlined policymakers should focus primarily on policies that increase equity in education. Furthermore, the effectiveness of investments made in factors related to leadership, teacher certification, the number of students and teachers, which contribute very little to science literacy performance, need to be more questioned. Inferences about the findings were discussed in detail, and recommendations for further research were made.  相似文献   

Science notebooks as interactional spaces in a multilingual classroom: Not just ideas on paper     

Sara E.D. Wilmes  Christina Siry 《科学教学研究杂志》2020,57(7):999-1027

Past studies have explored the role of student science notebooks in supporting students' developing science understandings. Yet scant research has investigated science notebook use with students who are learning science in a language they are working to master. To explore how student science notebook use is co-constructed in interaction among students and teachers, this study examined plurilingual students' interactions with open-ended science notebooks during an inquiry science unit on condensation and evaporation. Grounded in theoretical views of the notebook as a semiotic social space, multimodal interaction analysis facilitated examination of the ways students drew upon the space afforded by the notebook as they constructed explanations of their understandings. Cross-group comparison of three focal groups led to multiple assertions regarding the use of science notebooks with plurilingual students. First, the notebook supported student-determined paths of resemiotization as students employed multiple communicative resources to express science understandings. Second, notebooks provided spaces for students to draw upon diverse language resources and as a bridge in time across multiple inquiry sessions. Third, representations in notebooks were leveraged by both students and teachers to access and deepen conceptual conversations. Lastly, students' interactions over time revealed multiple epistemological orientations in students' use of the notebook space. These findings point to the benefits of open-ended science notebooks use with plurilingual students, and a consideration of the ways they are used in interaction in science instruction.  相似文献   

Actions for sociopolitical consciousness in a high school science class: A case study of ninth grade class with predominantly indigenous students     

Bhaskar Upadhyay  Erin Atwood  Baliram Tharu 《科学教学研究杂志》2020,57(7):1119-1147

This case study explores how a group of Grade 9 students engaged in sociopolitical discourses and actions in a science class in a mostly indigenous student school in Nepal. The study used sociopolitical consciousness (SPC) as a framework to document and understand indigenous students’ SPC-oriented science interactions and subsequent social change actions. We used ethnographic methods of data collection over 6 months. The study focused on the actions of 4 girls and 2 boys belonging to the indigenous Tharu group. Data were analyzed using iterative qualitative methods. The study findings show that students are capable of engaging in critical thinking, critical reflecting, and taking actions for social change. Additionally, students are competent to link their experiences with social, structural, and political discrimination to the relevant science content they learn. The study presents four thematic findings related to SPC and science teaching and learning: Fostering social justice awareness in science class, fostering structural understanding of inequities in sickle cell disease, fostering sociopolitical actions for sickle cell disease, and the teacher's activist pedagogy for SPC in science learning. Implications of the study are that culturally relevant pedagogy helps indigenous students to become sociopolitically more aware of the links between science and social change. Adding aspects of critical pedagogies in science teaching could encourage students to become more sociopolitically reflective about science learning.  相似文献

社会经济学的三大流派:一个简要述评     

王军 《湖州职业技术学院学报》2014,(4):45-49

社会经济学从萌芽发展繁荣,期间形成了众多流派,影响较大的主要有三大流派:天主教社会经济学、人本主义社会经济学、奥地利派社会经济学。天主教社会经济学强调受到天主教教义的指导,人本主义社会经济学则是以人为中心来开始研究,奥地利派社会经济学强调经济社会是一个整体。在发展过程中,奥地利派社会经济学到了21世纪30年代发展演变成了"奥地利经济学派";人本主义社会经济学则另立山头,出现了发展专门的人本主义经济学的趋势;天主教社会经济学则不断淡化宗教色彩,扩大开放,借鉴吸收其他学科的最新理论成果,大有融合、包容其他社会经济学的倾向。现阶段,当代社会经济学还在快速发展中,其发展走向还有待观察。  相似文献   

论转型期基层统一战线在扩大公民有序政治参与中的作用     

贾波 《重庆职业技术学院学报》2011,20(2):29-31

随着我国经济社会结构的转型不断深化,基层统一战线内部构成发生深刻变化,统战对象和领域都大量增加。基层统一战线是扩大公民有序政治参与的重要体现,但当前我国公民在政治参与方面还存在一些问题。转型期要利用基层统一战线的特点和优势,在进一步扩大公民有序政治参与主体、提供公民有序政治参与制度保障、营造公民有序政治参与的良好环境、取得民主监督成效等方面发挥作用。  相似文献

检察机关参与社会管理创新的方法与途径     

尤晓燕  胡彬华 《江苏经贸职业技术学院学报》2011,(2):39-42

推进社会管理创新,是适应我国社会结构和利益格局的发展变化,加强和改进社会管理的必然要求。强化和完善法治建设是我国社会管理发展的必然方向。因此,检察机关参与社会管理创新具有重要意义:一方面,可以为社会管理提供强有力的司法保障,大力推动创新制度的执行和落实;另一方面,社会管理创新也同步推动了检察机关执法理念的转变与执法方式的改革。检察机关参与社会管理创新应当着重于自身职能的行使,进行司法监督和职务犯罪监督,通过办案,纠正违法行为,捍卫法律的尊严,维护社会的公平和正义。  相似文献   

温州人的本质：温州实践、传统文化抑或社会关系     

黄朝忠 《湖州职业技术学院学报》2011,(4):20-23

温州人与其他人究竟有什么不一样？温州人究竟在想些什么、做些什么,温州人是一个解不开的谜吗？答案是否定的。马克思主义哲学关于人的本质学说、温州实践、温州传统文化可以正确解开温州人的谜底。文章运用理论与实践相结合、逻辑和历史相统一的方法,阐释了温州人的存在方式在于温州实践,温州人的遗传基因在于温州传统文化,温州人的本质在于温州人的社会关系。温州实践、温州传统文化和温州人的社会关系共同构成温州人生存与发展的内外因素。  相似文献
