Reasons for Student Engagement in Extra-Class Communication     

Stacy L. Young  Manuel D. Pulido  Catherine F. Brooks 《Communication Research Reports》2018,35(2):172-177

This study extends instructional communication research on extra-class communication (ECC) by presenting an integrative analysis comparing the explanatory utility of student- and instructor-oriented reasons for student engagement in frequent ECC. Results from 495 college students suggested that student-oriented reasons, specifically the relational and functional student motives, were the only significant, positive predictors of students’ perceptions of frequent ECC engagement. Other student motives (excuse making, participation, sycophancy) and perceptions of instructor approachability did not significantly predict perceived frequency of ECC engagement.  相似文献   

Family Communication Patterns as Predictors of Organizational Dissent: A Replication Study     

Marjorie M. Buckner  Andrew M. Ledbetter  Holly J. Payne 《Communication Studies》2018,69(3):326-335

This study replicated a previous research project addressing connections between family-of-origin communication and organizational dissent expression. We predicted that family communication patterns (FCPs), specifically conversation and conformity orientations, would predict upward, lateral, and displaced dissent. As in the original study, significant findings emerged for upward dissent and conformity orientation. This replication study indicated family type as an inconsistent predictor of expressed dissent. Contrary to the original study, we found no evidence to support a connection between pluralistic family types and upward dissent. Finally, as an extension of the original study we analyzed effects of FCPs on displaced dissent, finding an inverse association with conversation orientation. Implications for future research are discussed.  相似文献   

System-wide improvement of early-grade mathematics: New evidence from the Gauteng Primary Language and Mathematics Strategy     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2016

This article reports on a two-year evaluation of the Gauteng Primary Language and Mathematics Strategy (GPLMS), an innovative system-wide reform intervention designed to improve learning outcomes in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Using data from universal testing of all learners in 2008 on a provincial systemic evaluation, as well as data from the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Annual National Assessment tests, this article investigates whether or not the GPLMS improves the numeracy skills of learners in early-grade mathematics in underperforming schools. Using as identification strategy, the natural experiment that resulted from a miscalculation of the provincial systemic evaluation test scores in 2008, which had been used to assign schools to the GPLMS intervention, the study shows that the GPLMS intervention is positively associated with improvements in early-grade mathematics performance of schools in the neighbourhood around the assignment threshold. The findings of the study contribute to the growing body of knowledge that shows the effectiveness of combining lesson plans, learner resources, and quality teacher capacity building.  相似文献

杨文正  邹霞 《现代教育技术》2007,17(3):32-35

传统的课堂教学设计在学习者分析、学习目标、策略设计和教学评价等几方面存在着不足．难以体现“以学生为本”的现代课堂教学设计的基本理念。运用R·M·加涅的学习结果分类理论可以改善现有的课堂教学设计,可以使错综复杂的课堂教学有一定的规律可循。  相似文献   

Test-Based Learning: Inconsistent Effects Between Higher- and Lower-Level Test Questions     

Julian Roelle  Detlev Roelle  Kirsten Berthold 《Journal of Experimental Education》2019,87(2):299-313

Providing test questions after an initial study phase is a common instructional technique. In theory, questions that require higher-level (deep) processing should be more beneficial than those that require lower-level (shallow) processing. However, empirical evidence on the matter is inconsistent. To shed light on two potential reasons for these inconsistencies, we conducted an experiment (N = 81) to analyze the role of (a) the share of information to which test questions direct learners and (b) the learning activities performed in the initial study phase with respect to the effects between higher- and lower-level test questions. We found that both the share of focused information and the initial learning activities moderated the effects between higher- and lower-level test questions.  相似文献   

Effects of different sequences of examples and problems on motivation and learning     

《Contemporary educational psychology》2019

Recent research has shown that example study only (EE) and example-problem pairs (EP) were more effective (i.e., higher test performance) and efficient (i.e., attained with less effort invested in learning and/or test tasks) than problem-example pairs (PE) and problem solving only (PP). We conducted two experiments to investigate how different example and problem-solving sequences would affect motivational (i.e., self-efficacy, perceived competence, and topic interest) and cognitive (i.e., effectiveness and efficiency) aspects of learning. In Experiment 1, 124 technical students learned a mathematical task with the help of EEEE, EPEP, PEPE, or PPPP and then completed a posttest. Students in the EEEE Condition showed higher posttest performance, self-efficacy, and perceived competence, attained with less effort investment, than students in the EPEP and PPPP Condition. Surprisingly, there were no differences between the EPEP and PEPE Condition on any of the outcome measures. We hypothesized that, because the tasks were relevant for technical students, starting with a problem might not have negatively affected their motivation. Therefore, we replicated the experiment with a different sample of 81 teacher training students. Experiment 2 showed an efficiency benefit of EEEE over EPEP, PEPE, and PPPP. However, only EEEE resulted in greater posttest performance, self-efficacy, and perceived competence than PPPP. We again did not find any differences between the EPEP and PEPE Condition. These results suggest that, at least when short training phases are used, studying examples (only) is more preferable than problem solving only for learning. Moreover, this study showed that example study (only) also enhances motivational aspects of learning whereas problem solving only does not positively affect students’ motivation at all.  相似文献

教育研究中的系统科学进展与应用   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

刘菊  钟绍春  解月光 《远程教育杂志》2011,29(1)

系统科学作为教育研究的重要方法论,也是教学系统设计的理论基础之一.它虽然已经历了一般系统论、自组织理论、复杂性理论三个发展阶段,但就目前教育理论研究情况来看,系统科学思想方法的教育应用仍多停留在一般系统论的初级阶段,对系统科学的新近研究成果显得不够重视,尤其是有着丰富内涵与教育应用巨大潜力的自组织理论代表--耗散结构理论.随着后现代主义教育研究的深入,耗散结构理论已越来越多地受到课程研究领域专家的重视,相关研究成果初步显现.另外,数字化学习理论Connectivism新近获得了较大发展,它的主要观点正是耗散结构理论主要思想方法的重要体现.由此,我们相信在系统梳理系统科学自身发展状况的基础上,研究系统科学代表性观点的教育应用已显得十分必要.另外,积极吸纳耗散结构理论的思想观点去分析教学系统,有助于从教育研究方法论的角度审视教育的弊病,查找深层次原因,摸索规律,促进信息时代教育的新发展.  相似文献
