The reflection on the blackboard: student teacher self‐evaluation     

H. James Mclaughlin 《International journal of qualitative studies in education》2013,26(2):141-159

A common aim of teacher education is to encourage prospective teachers to analyze carefully their instructional performance. Yet, research on teacher cognition heretofore has concentrated primarily on experienced teachers’ planning and instructional thinking. We need more information on how student teachers think about and engage in the evaluation of their teaching performance. This study used data from initial structured interviews to elicit student teachers’ self‐evaluation concerns and examined the student teachers’ journals, a final written self‐evalution, and tapes from post‐teaching interviews to create a profile of each student teacher's responses about self‐evaluation. In this paper I analyze the student teachers’ pre‐conceptions about success, examine their processes of self‐evaluation, and explore a conception of “interactive self‐evaluation.” I offer suggestions about the conditions that may enable student teachers to enhance their analytical processes.  相似文献   

The semantics of 'truth': a counter-argument to some postmodern theories     

Kenneth H. Lawson 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2013,32(1):82-92

This article reviews a number of claims made by postmodernist writers on the education of adults, who deny the existence of objective truth. It is argued here that such claims are asserted without supporting evidence and that they fail to take into account the semantic structures of language and actual linguistic usage. The article tries to show that analysis of semantic structure reveals a concept of truth embedded and presupposed in language and that truth and meaning are interrelated.  相似文献

La calidad en la educación abierta y a distancia en México     

Rodolfo herrero Ricaño  Héctor Barrón Soto 《The American journal of distance education》2013,27(1):68-71

Abstract

Since 1947, distance education in Mexico has had an important role for nonconventional populations. Considering that distance education is a heterogeneous and dynamic field, it is important to reflect on the need to improve quality as measured by our own standards. With that perspective in mind, a national meeting was organized to start a self‐diagnosis in which quality and access were the main concerns. Five hundred and twenty specialists from fifty‐one institutions participated in a national interactive synchronous meeting held in four regions. As a result of the meeting, thirty‐five criteria and 230 parameters of quality were established. The main conclusion of the meeting refers to the need for the elaboration of our own indicators for open and distance education.  相似文献

Developing an Integrated Theory of Recall of Spot News Stories     

Margaret H. DeFleur 《Mass Communication and Society》2013,16(3-4):123-145

In this article, a theory of the recall of spot news stories is developed from a large literature on psychological attention sets, principles of perception, cognitive processing, and patterns of distortion in recall and retelling. The theory consists of a set of 6 linked assumptions and a final inferred proposition. It describes the general nature of patterns of recall to be expected among individuals who attend to and retell a typical spot news story: Stories will be shortened, central and dramatic details will be retained, and in some cases, extraneous information will be incorporated. Previously unreported findings from an earlier experimental study of news recall are reviewed and offer support for the theory.  相似文献
