Facilitating teachers' professional growth through their involvement in creating context-based materials in science     

June M. George  Fred Lubben   《International Journal of Educational Development》2002,22(6):419

This paper traces the professional growth of science teachers in Trinidad and Tobago through their involvement in the production of context-based resource materials relevant to the lives of their students during workshop sessions. Grounded theory methods were used to analyse pre- and post-workshop questionnaire responses, tape-recorded group discussions and several draft lesson outlines. The findings show that professional growth is indicated by changes in the nature of the contexts chosen as lesson foci, the role of these contexts in the overall lesson design, and teachers' perceptions of contextualised teaching. Conflicts between students' cultural and scientific understandings were not addressed by these teachers.  相似文献

Stealth marketisation: how international school policy is quietly challenging education systems in Asia     

Hyejin Kim 《Globalisation, Societies & Education》2019,17(3):310-323

Across Asia, the international school scene has experienced marketisation and corporatisation. A consequence is that many wealthier families – outside of expatriate communities – view international schools as a desirable choice, and they seek ways to enrol their children in international schools. States have responded to this situation through policies that manage the boundaries between public or national school systems and international schools. States have made compromises in their international school policies – compromises that allow markets to creep into the broader education systems. This mode of market creation is subtle: Neither families nor state agents advocate for ‘choice’ as a value, nor are there public discourses around international schools in the region celebrating ‘choice’ in education. The compromises made in international school policy relate to whole education systems and have implications for inequality, citizenship, and national identity.  相似文献   

Understanding higher education-based teacher educators’ identities in Hong Kong: a sociocultural linguistic perspective     

Rui Yuan 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education》2016,44(4):379-400

While teacher educator identities have received increasing attention over the past decade, there is a lack of research on teacher educators’ professional identities in the complex and shifting higher education contexts. Informed by the sociocultural linguistic perspective, this study investigates two language teacher educators’ professional identities in Hong Kong universities. The findings show that the participants discursively constructed their identities, such as “accidental teacher educator,” “teacher educator-researcher,” “struggling researcher,” “teacher of teachers,” and “inactive researcher” in their professional work. By drawing on the three interrelated processes of identity formation (i.e. adequation/distinction, authentication/denaturalisation, and authorisation/illegitimation), the study adds to our knowledge of the complex and contested nature of teacher educator identity in relation to the ongoing restructuring and reform in higher education. The study concludes with some implications for teacher education and higher education.  相似文献   

论海洋划界中的禁止反言原则     

张卫彬 《常熟理工学院学报》2008,22(1):68-72

禁止反言原则源于中世纪的英国。在1929年塞尔维亚贷款案中,常设国际法院将该原则引入国际法。在国际海洋划界领域,禁止反言原则包含在公平原则之中,其适用对我国海域划界具有重要意义。  相似文献   

对国际私法中“特征性履行说”问题的探讨     

李冠群  唐春莉 《辽宁师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2007,30(1):34-36

“特征性履行说”以合同的特征性履行性质对合同进行划分,并以“特征性连结点”为最密切联系的连结点,与其采取“形式正义”的价值取向是分不开的。主要强调对受雇人正当利益的有效保护,致力于选择适用较为均衡地协调雇佣人和受雇人之间权利、义务关系的法律,而将受雇人提供劳务的行为,视为特征性履行行为;将对受雇人相对有利或比较熟悉的国家的涉外民商事法律作为合同准据法。  相似文献   

视点转换法在汉英翻译中的应用     

马文书 《漯河职业技术学院学报》2008,7(3):104-105

视点转换翻译法指的是重组原语信息的表层形式,从与原语不同甚至相反的角度来传达同样的信息,使译文更符合译语习惯,更易于被读者接受,更有利于译文预期功能的实现。本文分别从词、词组、习语、句子诸方面探讨了汉英翻译时需要注意的视点转换问题,以期对从事汉英翻译者有所帮助。  相似文献   

The happy-fish-little-pond effect on enjoyment: Generalizability across multiple domains and countries     

《Learning and Instruction》2023

Academic enjoyment is an important educational construct given that it benefits students' engagement, persistence, wellbeing, and mental health. In this study, we examine two factors that determine this crucial emotion, namely student- and class-level achievement. Past research has been restricted to single-country or single-domain examinations of secondary school students, limiting generalizability of findings. To bridge this gap, we utilize the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (TIMSS-PIRLS) combined 2011 data (N = 180,084 4th-grade students, 37 countries). Our results provide robust evidence that student-level achievement positively predicts enjoyment in math, science, and reading, while the effects of class-level achievement are negative—the Happy-Fish-Little-Pond Effect. These results showed relative universality across the domains and countries examined.  相似文献   

从功能翻译理论视角看广告翻译中的创造性叛逆   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

梁乐园 《怀化学院学报》2007,26(10):104-106

"创造性叛逆"这一术语自其提出以来主要用于文学翻译研究。然而随着研究的深入,我们不难发现创造性叛逆对以广告翻译为代表的应用翻译同样具有较大的解释力。着重从功能翻译理论的视角阐释了广告翻译中的创造性叛逆现象,并提出创造性叛逆不仅是一种普遍存在的翻译现象,也是一种有效的"翻译策略",在广告翻译中值得提倡。  相似文献
