Classroom observation for evaluating and improving teaching: An international perspective     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2016

Teacher evaluation and development policies around the world are undergoing significant reform. Classroom observation often carries a considerable weight in teacher appraisal and improvement systems, and provides the critical formative anchor informing professional development. This study examined a purposively selected sample of sixteen classroom observation systems in six countries, including high performing Singapore and Japan, regional exemplar Chile, the three largest school districts in the United States, and other interesting examples in Australia, Germany and the United States to add diversity to the sample. The study offers an analytic framework for understanding classroom observation systems across contexts, distinguishing conceptual, methodological and policy aspects that shape these systems. The sixteen systems were remarkably consistent in their stated overall purposes, but there was variation in terms of how they operationalized good teaching, the degree of standardization of the observation process, emphasis on validation, and information uses. The paper describes and discusses these characteristics in order to help researchers and policymakers reflect on the available options and take more informed decisions in designing classroom observation for evaluating and improving teaching.  相似文献   

新冠疫情影响下中国男子篮球职业联赛本土球员出战球队进攻能力研究     

宋君毅  张嘉元 《广州体育学院学报》2021,(1)

运用文献资料、录像观察、计量分析和逻辑分析等方法,分析了2019/2020赛季中国男子篮球职业联赛受冠疫情影响的八支“全华班”球队的46轮比赛,将各队进攻能力和外援参赛与否相关联进行回归和统计分析。研究结果显示:“全华班”出场比赛对广厦队、稠州队和深圳队的进攻能力的影响相对较小,影响主要集中在进攻效率或失误率方面:广厦队和稠州队胜率得到提升,深圳队胜率基本保持稳定;对山东队、青岛队、山西队、四川队和天津队的进攻能力产生了较大负向影响,影响主要集中在得分、进攻效率、命中率、三分投篮数、失误率方面,五只球队的胜率均出现不同程度的下降。结合上述分析,对中国男子篮球职业联赛和中国篮球的可持续发展提出了针对性的建议。  相似文献   

校对专业机构建制独立的必要性     

陈敬根 《出版科学》2010,18(1):23-25

校对工作是编辑加工工作的延续。校对工作的这一属性,加之减编增效等社会因素的影响,使得出版机构广泛采取编校合一、撤销校对专业机构等措施,这在一定程度上造成书刊质量下降。本文从功能性态、地位作用、历史溯源等方面分析校对的特性,指出校对工作是编辑加工工作的延续,既具有能动性又具有被动性,是书刊质量保障体系的最后一道防线,是一项神圣的工作。校对专业机构建制独立,不仅必要,而且紧迫。  相似文献

Life in the Village: Teacher Community and Autonomy in an Early Childhood Education Center     

Jolyn Blank 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2009,36(4):373-380

This article presents findings from a qualitative case study of a public early childhood education center whose motto, the familiar African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child,” reflects the emphasis given to teacher community in the official school discourse. The meanings teachers gave to professional community were investigated. Interviews and observations were conducted at the school over a period of 12 months. Data analysis revealed an inherent tension between community ethos and personal autonomy. These findings suggest that professional teaching community is complex and contradictory, and that explicitly addressing the tension between community and autonomy would enhance teacher education and professional development.  相似文献   

Closing the Gap: Inquiry in Research and the Secondary Science Classroom     

Lara M. Gengarelly  Eleanor D. Abrams 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2009,18(1):74-84

Teaching students how to conduct authentic scientific inquiry is an essential aspect of recent science education reform efforts. Our National Science Foundation-funded GK-12 program paired science graduate students—fellows—with secondary science teachers in order to enhance inquiry-based instruction. This research examined the roles of the fellows, teachers, and school culture in the implementation of inquiry and the fellows’ conceptions of classroom inquiry versus that in their own research. Qualitative data were collected for two academic years. Overall, the classrooms shifted toward a more inquiry-oriented approach over the academic year. Several aspects of school culture influenced inquiry implementation. Fellows described their research as similar in overall structure but less constrained by known concepts, less guided by mentors, and more in-depth than that of secondary school students. The teacher-fellow scientist partnership is a potentially effective professional development model to create positive and lasting change within the science classroom.  相似文献
