Changes in teachers’ beliefs after a professional development project for teaching writing: two Chinese cases     

Lin Sophie Teng 《师资教育杂志》2016,42(1):106-109

A plethora of research has found that teachers’ beliefs directly influence their classroom practices and teaching outcomes. While numerous studies in second/foreign language writing have examined the effectiveness of different innovative approaches on students’ learning to write, there is a paucity of research on writing teachers’ beliefs about these approaches and how their beliefs change in the process of their professional development. Such a lacuna becomes prominent in English as a Foreign Language contexts, especially in China, where there are numerous calls for changing the nature of classroom practices from product-focused to process- and student-centred instruction. In order to fill this gap, this brief article reports on a case study regarding changes in two Chinese English teachers’ beliefs after attending a professional development project for teaching writing. A key research question guides this study: What changes, if any, did the two teachers experience in their teaching beliefs during the project? Two writing teachers were voluntarily recruited for a case study. Findings show that the professional development project for teaching writing broadened the teachers’ understanding of different writing theories, provided a clear model of how to integrate these new approaches into regular writing courses, changed their instructional focus and shifted their perception of teachers’ roles in teaching practice.  相似文献   

Implementing Godly Play in educational settings: a cautionary tale     

Jan Grajczonek  Maureen Truasheim 《British Journal of Religious Education》2017,39(2):172-186

At the heart of all curriculum decision-making is the learner. Contemporary early childhood education theory and practice emphasises young children’s agency and voice in their learning paying particular attention to valuing each child’s sociocultural contexts. As learners, children are considered capable and active participants rather than as deficit and passive recipients. How does the implementation of godly play in prior-to-school and school early years settings sit within a contemporary view of childhood? To what extent does this programme align with early childhood theory and practice? This paper seeks to evaluate the presence and place of godly play (which is not a curriculum and nor does it claim to be a curriculum) in the religiously affiliated early childhood education context in either prior-to-school or school settings. It is to be emphasised that this paper is not evaluating the presence and place of godly play in the faith community of the local parish where all who participate are believers coming together to share that faith and to have that faith strengthened. However, its presence and place in formal educational settings outside of parish faith communities is questionable and requires closer critique.  相似文献

布迪厄社会实践理论视角下青年农民工的城市化进程   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

袁海燕 《哈尔滨学院学报》2008,29(11):15-19

青年农民工身处乡村场域、同乡网络场域和城市场域中,他们实际融入城市场域的情况以及他们在不同的场域塑造的不同惯习影响着他们的城市化进程,他们在各场域中获得资本的情况也关系到他们能否尽快融入城市场域。因此,青年农民工要实现城市化,必须加强生活场域的融合,实现同乡网络场域和城市场域的融合;逐渐摆脱乡村惯习,形塑城市所具有的惯习;增强城市空间场域资本竞争力,增加文化资本和社会资本。  相似文献   

康有为的妇女观与卢梭的平等说     

何金彝 《上海师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2001,30(5):70-75

康有为是中国近代史上最早提倡男女平等的思想家,这一思想渊源于法国思想家卢梭,康有为高举卢梭“天赋人权”大旗,批判汉儒的“夫为妻纲”,主张解放中国的千千万万女子。康有为遵循卢梭“不平等起源说”的思路,主张取消私有制,女子皆可为公工、公农、公商、在经济上独立自主,奠定男女平等的经济基础,康有为依据卢梭主权在民论,争取女子的选举权与被选举权,允许男女在政治、经济、教育等各方面的完全平等权利,实现真正男女平等的大同世界。  相似文献   

Retention of men and women engineering students     

Mary Diederich Ott 《Research in higher education》1978,9(2):137-150

After 1.5 years of college, men and women engineering students in a population of 42 schools had different retention rates in engineering at their original schools. Based on a sample of students at 16 schools, the estimated population retention rates were 73.3% for men and 67.8% for women. This report discusses student characteristics that were related to retention for men or women, as well as the destinations of students who left engineering at their original schools.  相似文献   

民国时期重庆市的保甲编查探析   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李慧宇 《四川师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2007,34(3):139-143

民国时期,国民政府通过在重庆市进行大规模的三次保甲编查,建立了控制严密的基层行政制度——保甲制度。通过保甲编查,国民党势力渗透到重庆基层社会,为支持抗战时期国民政府在重庆的统治以及保证重庆市民生活的正常运转发挥了积极作用,然而国民党的腐败统治在重庆保甲制度上也有诸多反映。  相似文献   

Education in the Field Influences Children’s Ideas and Interest toward Science   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Kristina Zoldosova  Pavol Prokop 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2006,15(3-4):304-313

This paper explores the idea of informal science education in scientific field laboratory (The Science Field Centre). The experimental group of pupils (N = 153) was experienced with approximately 5-day lasting field trips and experiments in the Field Centre in Slovakia. After finishing the course, two different research methods were used to discover their interest and ideas toward science. Pupils from the experimental group showed significant differences from those that did not experience education in the Field Centre (control group, N = 365). In comparison to the control group, pupils of the experimental group highly preferred book titles that were related to their program in the Field Centre. There were differences between the drawings of ideal school environment from both pupils groups. In the drawings of the experimental group, we found significantly more items connected with the educational environment of the Field Centre (e.g. laboratory equipment, live animals). We suppose field science education would be one of the most effective ways to increase interest of pupils to study science and to invaluable intrinsic motivation at the expense extrinsic motivation.  相似文献
