Today’s society is continuously coping with sustainability‐related complex issues in the Science‐Technology‐Environment‐Society (STES) interfaces. In those contexts, the need and relevance of the development of students’ higher‐order cognitive skills (HOCS) such as question‐asking, critical‐thinking, problem‐solving and decision‐making capabilities within science teaching have been argued by several science educators for decades. Three main objectives guided this study: (1) to establish “base lines” for HOCS capabilities of 10th grade students (n = 264) in the Israeli educational system; (2) to delineate within this population, two different groups with respect to their decision‐making capability, science‐oriented (n = 142) and non‐science (n = 122) students, Groups A and B, respectively; and (3) to assess the pre‐post development/change of students’ decision‐making capabilities via STES‐oriented HOCS‐promoting curricular modules entitled Science, Technology and Environment in Modern Society (STEMS). A specially developed and validated decision‐making questionnaire was used for obtaining a research‐based response to the guiding research questions. Our findings suggest that a long‐term persistent application of purposed decision‐making, promoting teaching strategies, is needed in order to succeed in affecting, positively, high‐school students’ decision‐making ability. The need for science teachers’ involvement in the development of their students’ HOCS capabilities is thus apparent.  相似文献   

Improving Risk Education in Grades 6–12: A Needs Assessment of Michigan,Ohio, and Wisconsin Science Teachers     

R. Ben Peyton 《The Journal of environmental education》2013,44(2):46-54

Abstract

If formal educators are to play a role in preparing future citizens for making decisions about health and environmental risks, then they must be willing and able to incorporate risk education. This article presents 10 goals for risk education. It also describes current risk education practices, future interests, and perceived barriers to risk education of Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin Grades 6–12 science teachers. Data were collected through a mail questionnaire (1,336 surveys were returned, adjusted return rate = 80%) and in-depth telephone interviews (completed with 45 teachers, return rate = 90%). Many teachers had covered some aspect of risk education and were interested in enhancing their efforts. Results also suggest that teachers need to be made aware of risk education resources and provided with training, particularly regarding psychological influences on risk decisions.  相似文献   

从清代“索性”类副词的使用看汉语副词演变的规律     

唐贤清 《湖南师范大学社会科学学报》2003,32(5):123-126

“索性”在宋代的《朱子语类》中已经产生,元明清时期使用频繁,用法与现代汉语基本一致。但是清代用法与“索性”相近的副词相当多,如“爽性”、“率性”、“索兴”、“爽得”、“头信”、“投性”、“投信”、“干脆”等,不过后来“索性”类副词又趋于统一。这反映了语言现象大都是由纷纭繁复走向规范统一的规律。  相似文献

对县区级公共图书馆实行民主治理的思考     

阮胜利  毛旭 《图书馆理论与实践》2007,(1):127-129

县区级公共图书馆承担着近70％基层广大群众的扫盲和社会教育的重任，在我国全面落实“三个代表”重要思想、树立科学发展现和构建社会主义和谐社会的大背景下，探索县区级公共图书馆的民主治理机制显得尤为迫切和需要。本文从分析县区级公共图书馆现状和政府主导治理下的问题出发。阐明了县区级公共图书馆实行民主治理的重要性和必要性。通过两个实例举证提出：建立县级公共图书馆管理委员会的构想，符合自下而上的社会民主发展规律。  相似文献   

REPORT OF BIBLICAL INSTRUCTORS CONFERENCE*     

Meir Ben‐Horin 《Religious education (Chicago, Ill.)》2013,108(5):470-471

This article examines the psychoanalytic concepts of object-relations theorist Christopher Bollas, applying them to a view of the Bible as “transformational object.” Emphasizing the connection between psychological process and religious experience, this article suggests that each person's innate ability to choose and use objects is a key factor in their ability to appropriate the Bible for constructive use. By offering religious objects with psychological awareness, religious educators may come to appreciate that silence, empathy, and open-ended lesson plans are important incubators of transformation; and that aggression has a potentially positive role in the healthy development of worship communities.  相似文献
