What aspects should be evaluated when evaluating graduate curriculum: Analysis based on student interview     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2017

With the rapid expansion of graduate education in China, graduate curriculum evaluation has aroused great concern from the administrators and researchers. Many colleges and universities have developed their graduate curriculum evaluation system based on educational policy, job analysis or discussions of school administrators. To date, very few systemic studies in this field have been done in China, and little is known about students’ view on the evaluation system. In this study, 30 second-year graduate students from a comprehensive university were selected to participate in a semi-structured interview. It was found that graduate students attached more importance to the following 5 aspects: 1) The curriculum objectives should be employment-oriented and in line with students’ need of future employment and long-term development; 2) The curriculum content should be up to date and its breadth and depth of coverage are appropriate; 3) The instructor's teaching approaches should be flexible and varied, emphasizing student participation and teacher-student interaction; 4) The learning evaluation should be conducted fairly and reasonably in various ways; 5) The curriculum should be able to effectively promote students’ mastery of knowledge and capacities. This study will provide the evidence for rethinking and improving graduate curriculum evaluation system.  相似文献

Does STES‐Oriented Science Education Promote 10th‐Grade Students’ Decision‐Making Capability?     

Tami Levy Nahum  David Ben‐Chaim  Ibtesam Azaiza  Orit Herskovitz 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(10):1315-1336

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   

Ova and out: Using twins to estimate the educational returns to attending a selective college     

《Economics of Education Review》2013

Research has shown that attending a relatively selective four-year college over a less selective alternative is positively related to bachelor's degree completion. This paper revisits that question with a novel dataset of over 11,000 sets of twins in the United States and information on colleges to which they apply, enroll, and potentially graduate. I show that a student's probability of bachelor's degree completion within four years increases by 5 percentage points by choosing an institution with a median SAT score 100 points higher than the alternative. Moreover, the estimated magnitude of impact is insensitive to several methodologies, including OLS, twin fixed effects, and controlling for the application portfolio. This suggests that in certain contexts, sources of bias perceived as barriers to obtaining causal estimates of the returns to college selectivity, such as unobserved family characteristics and student aspiration, may be of little concern.  相似文献

从"老大学"到"老中学"……(雁斋读书漫笔之一)     

徐雁 《出版科学》2007,15(5):87-90

从启蒙到小学,再到中学而后大学,是人生道路上至关重要的阶段.本文通过分析《过去的中学--人生最关键阶段的教育和学习》《胡适选专业:大师们的大学生活》二书,回顾了施雅风、张维、钱穆、张思之、钱学森等成名人物自由学习,各具人文风采的中学生活,以及胡适、蒋梦麟等大师在大学里随意选择和调换科系的自由选学做法,意欲给现在的中学教育活动提供一点启迪意义,指出在高等教育制度上,学生如何选择科系,在中国的现当代是有着严重断裂的.  相似文献
