The Perfect Marriage? – Language and Art Criticism in the Hong Kong Public Examination Context          下载免费PDF全文

Chung‐yim Lau  Cheung‐on Tam 《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》2017,36(1):61-70

Art education in Hong Kong has undergone various changes in response to educational reform. In art assessment, a major change in the Hong Kong New Senior Secondary (NSS) Curriculum is the inclusion of art criticism as a compulsory component of the new public examination. Assessing students’ abilities to interpret art in an art criticism public examination context is a critical issue in Hong Kong because the new senior secondary curriculum and assessment has brought attention to the role of written language in the art examination paper. This means the examination assesses not only students’ abilities to interpret art, but also their language abilities required to respond to art in written form. Since this new mode of assessment of art criticism has been published a number of issues have appeared. Recent studies show that teachers and students perceive this development negatively and they believe that the written format will assess students’ written language abilities rather than their critical abilities. These findings challenge the justification of the new art assessment policy and raise questions about the role of written language in responding to art. This article aims to raise the issue of the marriage between language and art criticism in the Hong Kong public examination context. It argues and examines the relationship of language to art interpretation, reasoning in the assessment, and issues in the public art criticism examination context. The issues addressed in this article provide opportunities for researchers and policy makers to reconsider and refine the new form of examination.  相似文献

城与乡的关系史:新型城镇化思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

黄小慧  ;刘金龙 《湖南城市学院学报》2014,(3):1-7

从古代的城乡一体,到近代的城乡分离,直至当代的城乡割裂,中国城市的起源和进化以及城乡关系发展史,是中国未来城镇化发展的背景和前车之鉴。中国城市化的本质是关于一个植根于超过五千年农业文明的乡村社会,在经过20世纪50~70年代的高度集体化后,如何在政府主导的市场改革下迈向城市化的进程。中国未来城镇化需要跳出以工业化推动城市化的传统西方思维,从历史的视角重新审视中国城市及传统乡村社会的内涵,探索如何在新一轮城镇化进程中构建互动共融的城乡关系。  相似文献   

SNS use by the Korean government: a case of Me2Day     

Chung Joo Chung  Seong Eun Cho 《亚洲交流杂志》2014,24(1):25-41

This study examines the debates and discussions surrounding the Korean government's Me2Day, the largest social networking and microblogging site in the country used by 26 government bureaus, including the Blue House. Me2Day users post messages composed of up to 150 characters and establish links with other users through multimedia-based information and knowledge obtained from their browsers, desktop computers, e-mail messages, and mobile phones. This study provides a better understanding of the characteristics and structures of cyberspace communication between the Korean government and citizens. The results indicate that although each bureau had different goals in terms of using Me2Day, users were more likely to use the service if their bureau actively posted messages or responded to user comments. Users tended to have critical attitudes toward the Korean government when they were allowed to freely post messages and share information.  相似文献   

Academic social bookmarking: An empirical analysis of Connotea users     

Helen S. Du  Samuel K.W. Chu  Gary E. Gorman  Felix L.C. Siu 《Library & information science research》2014

Three groups of social bookmarking users, namely experienced users, users with moderate level of experience, and novice users, were investigated, in terms of their reported tagging behaviors, perceived usefulness of social bookmarking in information discovery and management, and perceived usefulness of the bookmarking features provided. Based on the empirical analysis of the Connotea users, who are primarily in academia, the study shows that experienced academic users generally prefer to use social bookmarking while moderately experienced and novice users still prefer to use the traditional bookmarking methods, such as creating and using bookmarks on a dedicated computer. Experienced academic users were also found to create more tags per bookmark comparing to the other two groups. Most novice academic users, however, only created one tag per bookmark, which just met Connotea's minimum requirement. Surprisingly different from the collaborative design nature of the social bookmarking systems, the study finds that our participants, particularly experienced academic users, prefer to create and use their own bookmarks rather than sharing bookmarks created by others. In fact, experienced users have significantly higher frequency (once every two weeks) of creating bookmarks than the other two groups (once a month or less). In addition, website design features and functions, such as automatic collection of bibliographic information, are regarded by all participants as helpful for information discovery. The in-depth examination and discussion of the opinions of Connotea users may be useful for further improvement of the design features and usage applications, particularly for academic social bookmarking websites. The results may also have potential implications to the future development of social bookmarking services in general.  相似文献   

Efficient probabilistic XML query processing using an extended labeling scheme and a lightweight index     

Jung-Hee Yun  Chin-Wan Chung 《Information processing & management》2012

Recently there is a growing interest in the data model and query processing for probabilistic XML data. There are many potential applications of probabilistic data, and the XML data model is suitable to represent hierarchical information and data uncertainty of different levels naturally. However, the previously proposed probabilistic XML data models and query processing techniques separate finding data matches with evaluating the probabilities of results. Therefore, they should repeatedly access the data and need to get full data of paths given in queries to calculate the probabilities of results.  相似文献

The Effects of Paraphrasing Interventions on Problem‐Solving Accuracy for Children at Risk for Math Disabilities     

Amber S. Moran  H. Lee Swanson  Michael M. Gerber  Wenson Fung 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2014,29(3):97-105

The purpose of this study was to examine effectiveness of paraphrasing interventions on mathematics word problem‐solving accuracy in third grade children (N = 72) at risk for mathematics disabilities (MD). Three instructional conditions directed students’ attention through paraphrasing, via writing, to different propositions within word problems. Students were randomly assigned to one of four intervention conditions: paraphrase question propositions (restate), paraphrase relevant propositions (relevant) and paraphrase all propositions (complete) or an untreated control. A mixed ANCOVA indicated that paraphrasing relevant and complete propositions significantly increased posttest accuracy when compared to the control and restate condition. Results from the study provide support for the effectiveness of paraphrasing interventions that directs students to restate/paraphrase propositions of mathematics word problems relative to the control condition.  相似文献   

Where is the “theory” within the field of educational technology research?     

Khe Foon Hew  Min Lan  Ying Tang  Chengyuan Jia  Chung Kwan Lo 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2019,50(3):956-971

Critics often characterise the study of educational technology as under-theorised. To test this assertion and to determine the extent of this criticism, the present paper reports an in-depth analysis of the 503 most recent empirical articles published in three selected education-technology-related journals (Computers & Education; Learning, Media and Technology; and British Journal of Educational Technology). These journals were selected because they publish studies related to all education settings rather than focusing on only a certain segment such as higher education; they have broad geographical catchment; and they were the most highly ranked journals in terms of their 2017 journal citation impact factor. The present paper examines how explicitly existing theory was identified in previous research, how theories were applied and how often these theories were advanced in education technology research. In the majority of cases, explicit engagement with theory was absent. Many studies either were wholly bereft of theories or made vague use of theory. Where theory was explicit, the articles were more likely to use theory to conceptualise the research, to inform the data collection or analysis process and to discuss the results. Very few articles reported findings that help us to learn something new about a particular theory (ie, little evidence of theory advancement).  相似文献
