Defining the nature of blended learning through its depiction in current research     

Karen Smith  John Hill 《高等教育研究与发展》2019,38(2):383-397

ABSTRACT

Blended learning has been a feature of higher education practice and research for almost two decades. This article takes stock of current blended learning research, contributing to the growing number of meta-analyses of higher education and blended learning research more generally, through a review of ninety-seven articles relating to blended learning in higher education published in fifteen journals between 2012 and mid-2017. The review focused on where and when the articles were published; their provenance, scale, scope; methodological approach; the broad research themes; and definition of blended learning used. The review shows that despite its ubiquity, blended learning’s definition is all-encompassing; its spread is global but research is dominated by key players; it is of technical interest; and its research is small-scale, individually focused, seeking to evidence the benefits of blended learning. The article concludes with recommendations of how higher education research could provide institutions with evidence to ensure their ‘best of blends’.  相似文献   

对比修辞:英汉书评比较   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

柳淑芬 《广东教育学院学报》2005,25(1):104-108

书评，作为一种新型写作体裁，同样反映化差异。英美学术书评侧重描述，汉语学术书评则侧重评价；英美书评批评性较强，汉语书评批评性却较弱。两种书评在修辞结构和评价策略上的差异与其不同化背景和风俗习惯有很大联系。  相似文献

A review of ‘psychology and the study of education: critical perspectives on developing theories’     

Christopher P. Dwyer 《Irish Educational Studies》2019,38(2):213-217

This review examines Psychology and the Study of Education: Critical Perspectives on Developing Theories, a collection of academic articles edited by Cathal Ó Siochrú. The collection comprehensively considers wide-ranging topics pertinent to the psychology of education, with a target audience of educators and students wishing to learn more about psychology. The review evaluates the collection as an integrated work of entries and analyses each component chapter; recognising the success of the collection with respect to its aim of challenging readers to critically reflect upon and consider the value of psychology in both understanding and influencing education. The book transcends the common formula of academic article collections in this area by being presented in a somewhat conversational manner, making it both interesting and accessible. The book is recommended for anyone interested in the psychology of education and for anyone who values the advancement of learning and teaching.  相似文献   

Hybrid ants-like search algorithms for P2P media streaming distribution in ad hoc networks     

ZUO Dong-hong DU Xu YANG Zong-kai 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2007,8(8):1191-1198

Media streaming delivery in wireless ad hoc networks is challenging due to the stringent resource restrictions,po-tential high loss rate and the decentralized architecture. To support long and high-quality streams,one viable approach is that a media stream is partitioned into segments,and then the segments are replicated in a network and served in a peer-to-peer(P2P) fashion. However,the searching strategy for segments is one key problem with the approach. This paper proposes a hybrid ants-like search algorithm(HASA) for P2P media streaming distribution in ad hoc networks. It takes the advantages of random walks and ants-like algorithms for searching in unstructured P2P networks,such as low transmitting latency,less jitter times,and low unnecessary traffic. We quantify the performance of our scheme in terms of response time,jitter times,and network messages for media streaming distribution. Simulation results showed that it can effectively improve the search efficiency for P2P media streaming distribution in ad hoc networks.  相似文献   

校阅在CAT与FIT中对受测者行为表现与状态焦虑水平的影响     

陈燕  胡洁 《考试研究》2007,(1)

校阅(review)对CAT中受测者心理影响的研究有利于CAT的推广应用。J.Oleat等研究者在CAT(computerizedadaptivetest,计算机自适应性测验)与FIT(fixed-itemtest,固定项目测验)中,将校阅(review)对受测者行为表现与状态焦虑水平的影响作了比较研究。实验结果表明,在允许校阅的环境中,受测者正确反应与被估计的能力水平显著增加,并且状态焦虑水平下降。本文对J.Oleat等研究者的主要研究成果进行了详细的评述,并进一步探讨了在CAT中增设校阅(review)环境的重要性和可能性。  相似文献

An empirical review of anonymity effects in peer assessment,peer feedback,peer review,peer evaluation and peer grading     

Ernesto Panadero  Maryam Alqassab 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2019,44(8):1253-1278

Abstract

Peer assessment has proven to have positive learning outcomes. Importantly, peer assessment is a social process and some claim that the use of anonymity might have advantages. However, the findings have not always been in the same direction. Our aims were: (a) to review the effects of using anonymity in peer assessment on performance, peer feedback content, peer grading accuracy, social effects and students’ perspective on peer assessment; and (b) to investigate the effects of four moderating variables (educational level, peer grading, assessment aids, direction of anonymity) in relation to anonymity. A literature search was conducted including five different terms related to peer assessment (e.g., peer feedback) and anonymity. Fourteen studies that used a control group or a within group design were found. The narrative review revealed that anonymous peer assessment seems to provide advantages for students’ perceptions about the learning value of peer assessment, delivering more critical peer feedback, increased self-perceived social effects, a slight tendency for more performance, especially in higher education and with less peer assessment aids. Some conclusions are that: (a) when implementing anonymity in peer assessment the instructional context and goals need to be considered, (b) existent empirical research is still limited, and (c) future research should employ stronger and more complex research designs.  相似文献   

Anti-racist moral education: A review of approaches,impact and theoretical underpinnings from 2000 to 2015     

Ingrid Lynch  Sharlene Swartz  Dane Isaacs 《Journal of moral education》2017,46(2):129-144

Racism is a moral issue and of concern for moral educators, with recent social movements such as #BlackLivesMatter highlighting how far we are from obliterating racial oppression and the unearned privilege whiteness confers. To contribute to a more formalised approach to anti-racist moral education, this article systematically reviews 15 years of peer-reviewed scholarship concerned with anti-racist education, to establish the definitions and aims of anti-racist education drawn on, the theoretical frameworks underpinning these, the methods used in education efforts, and their intended impact. It also considers the geo-political aspects of knowledge production in the field, such as author country location and implementation context of empirical studies. It concludes with implications for moral education in classroom and community contexts and advocates for anti-racist moral education that comprise three interconnected components—making visible systemic oppression (visibilising), recognising personal complicity in oppression through unearned privilege (recognising) and developing strategies to transform structural inequalities (strategising).  相似文献   

Health literacy and consumer health information     

Maria J. Grant PhD 《Health information and libraries journal》2023,40(1):1-2

The rigours of the past few years have demonstrated the importance of good health literacy levels with the imperative of being able to obtain and interpret information to maintain and improve one's health never more apparent. With this in mind, this issue is focused on consumer health information, the gender and population group differences that exist in information seeking behaviour, the challenges of understanding medical explanations and terminology, and existing criteria to assess and ultimately produce better consumer health information.  相似文献
