The historical context of science and education at the American Museum of Natural History     

Jennifer D. Adams 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2007,2(2):393-440

In this article I critically examine the historical context of science education in a natural history museum and its relevance to using museum resources to teach science today. I begin with a discussion of the historical display of race and its relevance to my practice of using the Museum’s resources to teach science. I continue with a critical review of the history of the education department in a natural history museum to demonstrate the historical constitution of current practices of the education department. Using sociocultural constructs around identity formation and transformation, I move to the present with a case study of a teacher who transforms the structure of science education in her classroom and school as a result of her identity transformation and association with a museum-based professional education program.

Mathematical biography and key rhetoric   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Raimo Kaasila 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2007,66(3):373-384

The intention of this article is to consider the use of narrative and rhetorical inquiry as research methods. I construct a mathematical biography of one elementary teacher trainee, Sirpa, who had performed well in her advanced mathematics course in upper secondary school. I describe her development as a mathematics teacher during teacher education from her second-year methods course and teaching practice to fourth-year teaching practice. Narrative inquiry is more than a case study: Sirpa’s mathematical biography is a story that describes how she constructs her mathematical identity. I also analysed the key rhetoric that Sirpa used in her talk, key rhetoric here referring to the strategy by which she constructed continuity and coherence.  相似文献   

Communicating feedback in teaching practice supervision in a learning-oriented field experience assessment framework     

Sylvia Yee Fan Tang  Alice Wai Kwan Chow 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2007

This article seeks to understand the ways in which feedback was communicated in post-observation conferences in teaching practice supervision within the learning-oriented field experience assessment (LOFEA) framework. 32 post-observation conferences between 21 pairs of supervisors and participants of in-service teacher education programmes, and interviews with supervisors and participants were analyzed, with findings revealed in four themes:

付巧 《贵州教育学院学报》2011,(8):81-84

目前所进行的高中新课程改革,从各方面来看,都可以称为是中国基础教育的革命。它从教材制定、课程设置、课堂教学、教学目标、教学评价等诸多方面都进行了革新。不仅要改变学生的学习模式,而且也将改变教师传统的教育教学模式。通过分析高中思想政治课新课程改革的要求,从转变观念、更新知识储备、实施有效教学策略等方面,提出高中政治课教师如何适应新课程改革的几点建议。  相似文献   

从“同一性自我”到“异质性他者”——谈教师学生观的跃迁     

余以恒 《教育学术月刊》2011,(4):72-74

教师的学生观影响着师生间交往、沟通、理解的程度。列维纳斯的＂异质性他者＂伦理观反对＂自我的同一性＂,强调＂他者的异质性＂。教师需要摆脱＂自我同一性＂的学生观,关注作为＂异质性他者＂的学生,从而有利于教师更深层理解教育本质并重视自我反思。  相似文献

Unpacking teachers’ intentions to integrate technology: A meta-analysis     

《Educational Research Review》2019

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a key model describing teachers' intentions to use technology. This meta-analysis clarifies some of the contradictory findings surrounding the relations within the TAM for a sample of 45 studies comprising 300 correlations. We evaluate the overall fit of the TAM and its structural parameters, and quantify the between-sample variation through meta-analytic structural equation modeling. The TAM fitted the data well, and all structural parameters were statistically significant. On average, the TAM variables explained 39.2% of the variance in teachers' intentions to use technology. Several sample, measurement, and publication characteristics, including teachers’ experience and the representation of the TAM variables, moderated the relations within the TAM. Overall, the TAM represents a valid model explaining technology acceptance—however, the degree of explanation and the relative importance of predictors vary across samples. Implications for further research, in particular the generalizability of the TAM, are discussed.  相似文献   

Selecting teachers and prospective teachers: A meta-analysis     

《Educational Research Review》2019

The purpose of this review article was to examine the methods used for the selection of teachers for employment and prospective teachers entering initial teacher education (ITE) programs, and to assess the predictive validity of these methods. We reviewed 32 studies reporting selection methods administered in high-stakes conditions and that included an external (not self-reported) teacher effectiveness outcome measure. The overall effect size was small but significant (r = 0.12, p < .001). Moderator analyses showed that academic and non-academic predictors were both significantly associated with teacher effectiveness measures and that effect sizes were small (but significant) for selection into employment and ITE. We conclude the review by proposing a research agenda that has the potential to enhance educational outcomes by improving the selection of prospective teachers.  相似文献

姜艳 《四川职业技术学院学报》2011,21(3):72-75

新手教师和专家教师的合作是一种推动新手教师专业化成长的有效途径,合作因为类型、性质、层次的不同而形成不同的运行机制,相应地会对新手教师的专业成长产生不同的影响。完善学校管理制度、构建教师合作的文化氛围、优化教师合作过程、培养教师的合作素养,是实现新手教师和专家教师高层次、规范合作以促进新教师专业成长的有效策略。  相似文献   

新课程背景下农村教师合作文化的建构研究     

王连英  唐章蔚 《湖北广播电视大学学报》2011,31(5):143-144

教师文化是影响教师观念以及教学行为的隐性因素,合作文化是教师专业发展的理想氛围。保持人为合作与自然合作间的合适张力,营造和谐互助的合作氛围;依托农远工程资源开展网络教研,构建区域性合作组织,可以克服农村地区经济与地理等客观条件限制以及以保守性为基本特征的农村传统文化的影响,培育持续推动农村教师专业发展的合作文化。  相似文献
