中世纪阿拉伯-伊斯兰文化对西方文明的贡献述评     

姜明文  颜景虎 《济宁师范专科学校学报》2005,26(2):29-32

中世纪的阿拉伯世界以其雄武之势兼纳了东地中海古文明以及亚洲远地文明，创造了辉煌的阿拉伯——伊斯兰文化。而同期西方由于日耳曼人的野蛮冲击和基督教会的肆意破坏，古典希腊罗马文化实际上已荡然无存。正是通过阿拉伯人的翻译，西方才得以知道自己老祖宗的遗产，并从阿拉伯——伊斯兰文化里获取了自然科学、人文社会科学、艺术等营养，感觉到压力，最终得以迅猛发展。  相似文献   

Exploring Verbal,Visual and Schematic Learners' Static and Dynamic Mental Images of Scientific Species and Processes in Relation to Their Spatial Ability     

Sulaiman M. Al-Balushi 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(3):460-489

The current study compared different learners’ static and dynamic mental images of unseen scientific species and processes in relation to their spatial ability. Learners were classified into verbal, visual and schematic. Dynamic images were classified into: appearing/disappearing, linear-movement, and rotation. Two types of scientific entities and their related processes were investigated: astronomical and microscopic. The sample included 79 female students from Grades 9 and 10. For the purpose of the study, three instruments were used. The Mental Images by Guided Imagery instrument was designed to investigate participants' visualization of static and dynamic mental images. The Water-Level Task was adopted to estimate participants' spatial ability. The Learning Styles Inventory was used to classify participants into verbal, visual and schematic learners. The research findings suggest that schematic learners outperformed verbal and visual learners in their spatial ability. They also outperformed them in their vividness of microscopic images; both micro-static and micro-dynamic images; especially in the case of appearing/disappearing images. The differences were not significant in the case of astronomical images. The results also indicate that appearing/disappearing images received the least vividness scores for all three types of learners.  相似文献

Evaluating Growth for ELL Students: Implications for Accountability Policies     

Joni M. Lakin  John W. Young 《Educational Measurement》2013,32(3):11-26

In recent years, many U.S. states have introduced growth models as part of their educational accountability systems. Although the validity of growth‐based accountability models has been evaluated for the general population, the impact of those models for English language learner (ELL) students, a growing segment of the student population, has not received sufficient attention. We evaluated three commonly used growth models: value tables or transition matrices, projection models, and student growth percentiles (SGP). The value table model identified more ELL students as on track to proficiency, but with lower accuracy for ELL students. The projection and SGP models were more accurate overall, but classified the fewest ELL students as on track and were less likely to identify ELL students who would later be proficient. We found that each model had significant trade‐offs in terms of the decisions made for ELL students. These findings should be replicated in additional state contexts and considered in the development of future growth‐based accountability policies.  相似文献   

Cheating or cheated? Surviving secondary exit exams in a neoliberal era     

Elizabeth Buckner  Rebecca Hodges 《Compare》2016,46(4):603-623

Cheating on exams is a rampant and highly developed practice among youth in the Arab world, often involving elaborate networks, advanced technology and adult authorities. Rather than viewing cheating as mere laziness or immorality, this article interrogates the social meanings of cheating by comparing the practices and discourses of cheating on high-stakes high school exit exams – the tawjihi in Jordan and the Baccalauréat in Morocco. Using informal networks to obtain higher grades, and thereby better futures, cheating is one way youth contest the putative meritocracy of the state to reclaim a sense of control over their lives. Ironically, cheaters develop twenty-first century skills of collaboration, networking and creativity outside the school in order to evade the nation’s formal system of educational sorting. We argue that cheating illuminates the declining effectiveness of the public school in the nation-building project and the simultaneous emergence of the outcomes-oriented ‘neoliberal student’.  相似文献   

Pedagogical practices of NetNZ teachers for supporting online distance learners     

Kwok-Wing Lai 《Distance Education》2017,38(3):321-335

A supportive online learning environment entails teachers using effective pedagogical practices to meet the needs of their students and developing a positive teacher–student relationship to foster learner motivation and engagement. This paper reports a study investigating how 32 secondary teachers in New Zealand taught their online distance classes and how they related to their students. These classes were administered by NetNZ, an online distance education community. An online survey conducted in 2016 found that NetNZ teachers used inquiry-based practices including flipped learning and knowledge-building pedagogies to support agency, autonomy, collaboration, and community development. They also used synchronous and asynchronous communication technologies to overcome barriers of relationship building in online settings. NetNZ was unique in delivering distance education in the New Zealand context in that it used a community approach to encourage a more active participation of its member schools and teachers in delivering distance courses to secondary students.  相似文献   

基于远程学习者个体需求的教学策略探究   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

梁九义 《中国远程教育(综合版)》2011,(2)

远程教学是建立在信息技术和学习者学习需求基础上的教学,在具体的教学过程中采用什么样的教学策略,不仅要看技术条件和学科特点,更重要的是要看学习者的实际需求。本文在分析了远程学习者特征和学习需求的基础上,着力探讨了网络环境下基于学习者个体需求的教学策略。在宏观上提出了三种比较可行的教学策略,即资源性教学策略、非系统性教学策略和服务性教学策略。  相似文献   

英语请求语用发展研究──以探询型请求子策略之选择为例     

魏冉 《唐山师范学院学报》2011,33(6):52-55

通过语篇补全测试,调查中国英语学习者对探询型请求子策略的选择。结果发现：学习者在请求主体策略选择上呈现与英语母语者相同的序列;学习者在请求子策略选择上存在过多或不当使用某些情态词,某些话句类型使用单一的情况;角色指向性的选择上,以听话者为指向的比率较高。这些特点表明文化间既具有相通性也存在文化相异,需要在教学中积极开展明示语用教学,重视学生语言能力的培养。  相似文献   

Teaching imaginary children: University students’ narratives about their Latino practicum children     

Eugene Matusov  Mark Philip Smith 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2007

This study investigates the dialogic processes involved in how teachers talk about their students and what consequences their ways of talking (i.e., “narratives”) may have for their guidance. We take a sociocultural perspective on learning as transformation of students’ subjectivity. Teaching, as a process of guiding and facilitating learning, cannot be effective if the teacher does not actively seek how the student perceives and understands reality. We borrow and adapt from Bakhtin (1999) four narrative ways of talking about others: objectivizing, subjectivizing, problematizing and finalizing. The presence of these narratives in web discussion postings of our pre-service teachers about the Latino children they worked with in a community center are analyzed. We then compare their ways of talking about children with print- and web-based discussions about children made by in-service teachers, model teachers and our pre-service teachers in a school-based practicum. Using mixed quantitative and qualitative methodologies, we found an overwhelming predominance of objectivizing and finalizing in our pre-service teachers’ narratives about the children with whom they work that seems to define a certain pedagogical regime that we call here “teaching imaginary children/students.” This “way of talking” about children seems to be characterized by unchecked speculations guiding instruction that are not tested by finding out from the children themselves how they understand the instruction and the world. These speculations, in turn, can lead to a dogmatic approach towards children.  相似文献
