教学实践智慧缺失的原因及应对策略——一个基于博弈理论的简单分析框架

教学实践智慧是教师个体在行动与反思互动情境中形成的应对问题的综合能力。当下教育评价体制下,教育管理者、教育者、受教育者三方为追逐各自利益而进行的博弈,导致了教师教学实践智慧的缺失。重建教师教学实践智慧,必须改革完善现有教育管理体制,改变教育评价机制,释放教师的活力,解放学生的头脑,从而使三方在新一轮的博弈中智慧地管理、智慧地教育、智慧地学习,以期教师的教学取得最佳效益。

德国职业教育实训教学环节的优势分析及其对我国的启示

德国职业教育实训教学环节和我国职业教育相比较有明显优势,实训教学所占课时比例很大,学生动手能力很强,教学计划完善,教学任务由浅入深,循序渐进完成,能系统的完成技能教学任务。实训教学环节的师生比合理,实训教学设备与学生比例合理,实训教学环境的情景模拟真实。相比较我国职业教育存在的问题,实训教学课时量较少;实训教学的师资水平较差;实训教师严重不足;实训师生比过大;实训设备数量少;难以达到教学效果。建议加大实训设备投入,采用岗位轮班制,增加学生动手实践时间;建立双师型教师培养制度和激励制度;加强教学研究,制定科学可行的实训教学计划。

The Social Ecology of Child Development in the Mexican American Population

Abstract

This article explores the influence of contextual factors on the developmental outcomes of Mexican American children. The contextual structure of child development is conceptualized as a complex system of environments, including the socio-demographic, social service, academic, and parental home environments. Based on an extensive review of the current theoretical and empirical literature, we find that the disadvantaged social position of Mexican American children has detrimental implications for all other aspects of their environment, thus hindering their development. In addition, although Mexican American parents are highly competent in providing a nurturing and culturally-rich environment, there is a often a discontinuity between the home environment and both the academic and the social service environments.     

Religiosity as a Predictor of Successful Post-Treatment Abstinence for African-American Clients

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of religiosity as a predictor of post-treatment abstinence. A sample of 96 African-American clients receiving community-based outpatient alcoholism treatment were interviewed at treatment entry and three months later. Achieving complete abstinence was predicted from client gender and 17 other predictors, including 6 substance-related factors, 7 psychosocial and health variables, and 4 religiosity/spirituality measures. Bivariate analyses showed that abstainers drank less prior to treatment, had more prior formal treatment and AA involvement, practiced their religion more regularly, and scored higher on measures of both spirituality and extrinsic religiosity. In addition, women were more likely to achieve abstinence. Forward entry binary logistic regression revealed that, controlling for client gender and pre-treatment consumption, only regular practice of one's religion/faith significantly predicted abstinence. Recommendations include (1) the need for research to evaluate if the current findings can be generalized across race/ethnicity and religious affiliation and (2) directing more attention to clients' religiosity in alcoholism treatment.

Each of these areas is discussed, integrating case vignettes and research findings.     

African American and White Managers:

Research points to differences in the experiences and response of African Americans and whites to organizational situations. This paper presents the results of a study which investigated differences in the management styles in eight local social service agency offices managed by African Americans and eight managed by whites. When the environment was turbulent, white managers responded by becoming more supportive of staff, while African American managers increased problem-solving communications. Staff in African American offices in turbulent environments had higher levels of job satisfation than either white offices of African Americans in nonturbulent environments.
