Wellbeing: How we make sense of it and what this means for teachers     

Tim O’Brien  Dennis Guiney 《Support for Learning》2021,36(3):342-355

In this paper, the authors discuss their grounded research carried out with teachers about the wellbeing of teachers. They explore the importance of making the concept of wellbeing more intimate and consider hedonic and eudaimonic ways of looking at wellbeing. They present a model of layered reflection which illuminates key factors that have an impact on the wellbeing of teachers.  相似文献   

Mini-research Experience in Simple Linear Regression     

Paul Isihara  Elisabeth Congdon  Terry Perciante 《PRIMUS》2018,28(7):699-716

Within the undergraduate mathematics curriculum, the topic of simple least-squares linear regression is often first encountered in multi-variable calculus where the line of best fit is obtained by using partial derivatives to find the slope and y-intercept of the line that minimizes the residual sum of squares. A markedly different approach from linear algebra, which could also be introduced in multi-variable calculus, obtains the regression line by vector projection. The latter viewpoint offers elegant proof of the equation relating the total, explained and unexplained variations. Consideration of data with the same regression line and correlation opens the door for a “mini-research experience” (MRE). A sequel MRE gives rise to an open Research Experience for Undergraduates topic to analyze reflection sequences and a fundamental connection between complex analysis and regression analysis. A few general guidelines and basic goals for MREs are included for those whose main interest is in undergraduate research.  相似文献   

Learning to be critically reflective: exploring fiction writing and adult learning     

Patricia A. Gouthro  Susan M. Holloway 《Studies in Continuing Education》2018,40(2):133-148

Many educators in adult, community and higher education contexts are concerned with fostering reflective learning amongst their students. This paper explores the concept of critical reflection and considers how engaging with fiction may be an innovative pedagogical approach to support critical learning opportunities. Drawing upon interviews with fiction writers, ways in which critical reflection may be encouraged in connection to reading and writing fiction are taken up by exploring three different thematic areas that relate to a Habermasian framework of knowledge constitutive approaches to learning. These different areas can be categorised as (a) technical-rational, (b) humanistic and (c) critical or emancipatory. The first of these considers critical reflection as a way to develop technical capacities as a creative writer. The next section takes up a humanistic framework to explore the value of individual and collective learning opportunities to enhance personal growth and critical reflection. The third area of discussion considers a deeper critical or emancipatory framework of learning through critical reflection which may lead to social change. The paper concludes by considering the value of arts-informed adult education approaches, such as those related to fiction writing, to enhance the development of critical reflection amongst adult learners.  相似文献   

The Promise of Teacher Inquiry and Reflection: Early Childhood Teachers as Change Agents     

Isauro M. Escamilla 《Studying Teacher Education》2018,14(1):3-21

In this article, a preschool teacher and an early childhood teacher educator describe and analyze their work co-creating and co-facilitating an early childhood inquiry group over seven years. The group consisted of veteran lead teachers, assistant teachers, instructional coaches, and an outside teacher educator at an urban, public preschool in San Francisco, California. Using the framework of narrative inquiry and portraiture, the article tells the story of the group’s formation, its structure, and its benefits for the participants’ personal and professional growth. The authors argue that an inquiry group is a highly viable, home-grown form of professional growth that relies on the group as a forum for self-study and reflection. The inquiry group provided the teachers with an increased understanding of child development and instructional strategies, a trusting public forum for sharing and validating their inquiry and teaching, and a communal opportunity to make visible the voices of teachers, children, and families.  相似文献

“导学案教学”现实困境的理念反思——基于“主体间指导学习”思想     

张旸  潘玉青 《当代教师教育》2016,(4):48-54

同一国度同一时期出现的"主体间指导学习"思想与"导学案教学"实践都倡导"导学",它们在针对"教师主导,学生主体"这一师生关系的理解方式以及由此而确认的教学观方面,无疑存在一定的默契。"主体间指导学习"思想不仅体现了主体间性所带来的认识论和生存论等的转向,揭示了指导学习以及系统导学中学习和教育的本真关系,而且蕴藏着更为深层和隐性的思维倾向和方法论的变革。导学案教学在取得一定成就的同时依然存在着错位与无位、雷同与机械、迷失与缺失等现实困境,基于"主体间指导学习"思想对"导学案教学"现实困境的理念从对象客体化的教学主体观、逐利重果的教学价值观、静态分化的课程观和导学混乱的教学过程观等方面进行反思,旨在寻求理论与实践的良性互动。  相似文献

教学反思的现实窘状、归因与提质进路     

陈祥龙 《天津教育》2021,(11):74-76

教学反思是改善教学行为和促进教师成长的重要门径。但在现实执行中客观存在“花自飘零水自流”的窘状:敷衍应付、偏于浅表、狭隘封闭和无暇顾及。究其归因是学校教研制度和教师理论修养、反思视界及研教认知存在欠缺短板。本文基于赋责激能、丰厚底蕴及优化教研生态、驱动研教并重等进路,针对施策,久久为功,当能回归教学反思质量提升理想。  相似文献
