The effect of peer group performance on the self-concept of reading in a foreign language     

Rianne Janssen  Sofie Wouters  Tine Huygh  Katrijn Denies  Karine Verschueren 《教育心理学》2015,35(2):158-175

According to the big-fish-little-pond (BFLP) model, the self-concept is not only influenced in a positive way by one’s own achievement, but also in a negative way by one’s relative achievement in comparison with one’s immediate peers. This study investigates whether the BFLP effect also holds for second language acquisition. A random sample of 9167 Dutch-speaking students from Grade 8 took a reading comprehension test in French followed by a short background questionnaire in which they were asked for their self-concept of reading French. Multilevel regressions of the latter on individual and group achievement confirmed the BFLP effect but did not confirm an interaction of the effect with gender, individual achievement or class size. Moreover, in line with the local dominance hypothesis, it was shown that the negative effect of the average performance of peers is stronger for classmates than for schoolmates.  相似文献   

Research on teaching practicum – a systematic review     

Tony Lawson  Melek Çakmak  Müge Gündüz  Hugh Busher 《欧洲师范教育杂志》2015,38(3):392-407

The aim of the present study is to conduct a systematic review research which focuses on research studies into the school practicum. In order to identify the main issues and also to provide a contemporary picture of practicum, 114 studies published on the topic are reviewed and analysed in terms of: (i) aims, (ii) main participants, (iii) methodology used and (iv) the main outcomes emerging. Many of the reviewed studies take pre-service teachers as their main participants. The review also shows that many practicum studies are relatively small-scale studies since they are mainly qualitative focused and findings derived from a relatively small sample. This suggests that more large-scale studies are needed in the field in order to provide greater insight into teaching practicum. Finally, this systematic review provides some food for thought in the area of practicum research and promotes further studies in this complex field.  相似文献   

Developing,expressing and contesting opinions of science: encouraging the student voice     

S.M. Howitt  A.N. Wilson 《高等教育研究与发展》2015,34(3):541-553

In a typical science degree, little emphasis is placed on the need for scientists to make judgements about evidence and little value is placed on the development of students' opinions about science, with the focus largely on assessment of declarative knowledge. Yet it is the ability to evaluate evidence that is crucial to the development of the student as a scientist. This study assesses the impact on students' conceptions of science of a course that aims to engage students in discussion and reflection on what scientists do and on their own learning about science. Analysis of written reflective assignments from the three years the course has been run shows that participants become more confident in their expression of opinions about science and also develop a more mature view of science and its inherent uncertainty. It appears that a critical factor enabling this development is the way the course activities are designed to explicitly value students' opinions and to provide a supportive environment in which they can be expressed and contested.  相似文献   

Standing by … standing off – troublesome compassion in the relationships of school boys     

Tuija Huuki  Vappu Sunnari 《Gender and education》2015,27(5):555-574

This paper draws on the story of ‘Mikael’, a schoolboy from northern Finland, to examine how his affective ties of compassion and his pursuit of dominant forms of masculinity evolve in his journey from middle childhood to young adulthood. In his earlier years, Mikael's speech regarding his relationships with peers and family members indicates a non-hierarchical sympathetic orientation, enabling sensitivity to diverse vulnerabilities. Over time, his speech reflects more and more the ideals of dominating masculinity and hierarchical relationality, and it is marked by ‘inner-circle’ compassion that excludes people considered vulnerable and/or ‘Other’. The authors argue that the challenge of balancing compassionate concern, masculinity and social position generates heavy costs, imposing on young men not only the heavy burden of fulfilling the requirements of culturally esteemed masculinity, but also a partial loss of being in touch with one's inner faculties of emotions and imagination.  相似文献   

开放大学建设路径选择上的两种倾向     

江声皖 《安徽广播电视大学学报》2015,(1):48-51,67

是在电大的基础上转型,打造开放教育的升级版;还是与电大作历史切割,重起炉灶建新型高等学校？史实告诉我们,电大原本就是开放大学,所产生的问题不在于名号,要害是误读了邓小平对“开放教育”的中国特色的诠释———“多快好省的教育”。但我们在“好”字上未能交出令人满意的答卷。而开放大学,便正是“3G电大”,我们必须遵循开放教育发展的阶段性规律,尽可能快地让业内人士与业外大众看清楚“办好开放大学”的走向、途径和目标。打造开放教育升级版应注重优化而非割裂,既要正视电大的缺点、缺陷而进行改正、弥补和改造;又要针对电大的特点、优点而加以传承、发展,决不能轻率地毁弃、切割。  相似文献   

开放大学文学类学科体系构建路径与课程设置研究     

梁黎  王炜  衡若愚 《湖北大学成人教育学院学报》2015,(3):84-88

学科体系是支撑开放大学发展与建设的基本要素及核心任务。构建开放大学文学类学科体系,在路径选择方面,一是要在学科内延伸,即纵向延伸;二是要在学科间拓展,即横向拓展;在课程设置方面,需要构建多层次的文学类课程结构体系,构建模块化的文学类"课程超市",构建文学类专业群认证体系,形成新的开放大学文学类学科体系和课程体系。  相似文献   

Associations between different forms of peer victimization and school absences: The moderating role of teacher attachment and perceived school safety     

Anne Williford  Paula Fite  Kathleen Diaz  Mehar Singh 《Psychology in the schools》2021,58(1):185-202

Given the significant negative impacts of peer victimization on youth development, studies have sought to understand what buffers against these consequences. To that end, the present study examined whether teacher attachment and perceptions of school safety moderated the associations between different forms of victimization and school absences over the course of an academic year among a sample of 272 high school students. Findings indicated that teacher attachment moderated the associations between relational and cyber victimization and absences, while perceived school safety moderated associations between relational victimization and absences. However, findings pertaining to cyber victimization were not as anticipated. Implications for prevention and intervention efforts in high schools are discussed.  相似文献   

The impact of alternative authentic assessment outcomes in Palestinian fourth grade math classrooms     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

Focusing on evaluating students’ performance in basic math classrooms, the researchers in this study examined the impact of alternative assessments on learning outcomes in fourth grade Palestinian classrooms. Representing a large sector of education in the Palestinian territories, fourth grade students were randomly selected to participate in the study in which they participated in various math instructional and assessment activities throughout multiple lessons and cycles. Alternative assessment approaches were used including student self- assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment in terms of three main achievement levels to measure the extent to which students learned the math concepts by recall and remembrance, ability to apply, and making inferences. Mixed Design ANOVA measures were used to analyze and interpret the results which showed significant trends and correlations across the four cycles of math instruction and indicated that alternative authentic assessment methods have had a positive impact on students’ learning and application of math. Implications for integrating authentic assessment measures as well as peer and self- assessments were drawn in light of the promising outcomes of augmenting student motivation and developing critical life-long skills.  相似文献

关于思维导图在初中化学实验复习中的应用研究     

崔继东 《天津教育》2021,(1):114-115

在初中化学复习课教学的过程中,为了加深学生对化学知识的理解,教师要合理运用思维导图的教学模式,将琐碎的知识点以图文的形式展现在学生面前,方便学生记忆的同时还能标注出知识的重点与难点,促使学生能高效解答实验习题。基于此,本文主要围绕初中化学复习课应用思维导图开展分析,并阐述了应用对策,仅供参考。  相似文献
