之于学校的国际理解教育研究

“国际理解”即生活在同一个地球上的各国人民,要超越国界互相理解,在互相尊重与信任的前提下共同努力实现和维护世界和平.基于此理念的教育即为“国际理解教育”.“国际理解教育”具体的实施方案通常是根据不同年龄、不同成长经历来拟定的,而之于学校的“国际理解教育”的形式又是大同小异的.     

Utilizing Social Support to Conserve the Fighting Strength: Important Considerations for Military Social Workers

This article is a continuation of a conference panel dialogue that focused on providing individualized, culturally responsible treatment of secondary traumatic stress (STS) for military social workers. Key aspects of the roles and responsibilities, professional and ethical challenges of military social workers and social work officers serve as focal points for understanding the importance of social support. This article discusses ways social support might help to moderate the impact of STS. The “buddy system” describes a culturally unique protective factor, which is a well‐known and effective type of social support utilized throughout the military. This article provides valuable information on how the “buddy system” can serve as a blueprint for managing STS experienced by military social workers. The article concludes with research, policy, and practice implications.     

Secondary Traumatic Stress of Service Providers who Practice with Survivors of Family or Sexual Violence: A National Survey of Social Workers

Past research demonstrates that professionals helping survivors of family violence or sexual assault are at risk of experiencing secondary traumatic stress. Although social workers frequently provide services to these families, the risk of exhibiting secondary traumatic stress symptoms has rarely been investigated. Using a national sample (N >= 154), this research project examines the prevalence and severity of secondary traumatic stress among social workers who assist survivors of family violence or sexual assault. Implications for social work practice are also discussed.     

Assessing Use of the Standards for Social Work Practice with Groups by School Social Workers: A National Study

The International Association for Social Work with Groups Standards for Social Work Practice with Groups specify the core knowledge, skills, and values needed for effective professional practice. These Standards are intended to serve as a guide to group work practice. The extent to which the Standards inform and are employed in practice, however, remains a question. This article focuses on the extent to which the Standards are utilized by social workers employed within primary and secondary schools. Focus is placed on how the Standards are perceived, understood, and practiced by school social workers.     

Career trajectory in high school dropouts

This study considers the career trajectories of high school dropouts, which has been given little attention to in the literature. Considering worker heterogeneity for individuals who do not complete high school, we estimate possible career trajectories and investigate the traits related with the decision to drop out. Using latent class growth analysis, three kinds of career trajectories are identified: dead-end, stepping-stone, and advancing careers. Although the majority of dropouts are in the dead-end careers, about 30% are in the process of escaping low-status jobs through acquiring work experience. Individual traits, such as gender, race, and cognitive ability, as well as home computer access are significantly related to the different types of career trajectories.     

流动儿童心理状况及讨论

本文运用在北京市某区进行的小样本抽样调查数据,比较分析了分别就读于流动儿童学校和公立学校的流动儿童的心理状况,并从流动儿童的个人特征和家庭特征两个方面讨论了影响流动儿童心理状况的原因。结果表明,流动儿童学校中的流动儿童的心理状况相对较好,因此,从儿童发展的角度来看,流动儿童学校的存在不仅是合理的,而且有关部门应该对当前处于自由发展、自由竞争中的流动儿童学校给予某种指导与帮助,以期能够为流动儿童的健康成长、更好地学习与发展提供某种政策支持。同时,更应该注意到本地常住儿童的心理状况相对较差的事实,这可以被视为当前鼓励流动儿童以公立学校就读为主的受教育政策的负面效应之一。公立学校应该从三个方面采取措施防止这种状况的扩大。当然,流动儿童的心理评价及各种影响后果的研究仍然有待于深入的讨论。     

在活动中发展师德——中小学师德活动的设计与实施

师德活动是师德规范与教师教育实践的"结合体",体现了师德的"实践性"特征。其基本逻辑是将师德制度全面渗透到常态化和主题式的活动中,通过对师德"主体性"的激发,推动教师开展基于师德活动的实践反思,以此帮助教师发展师德。师德活动从形式上看,可以分为:"榜样同行"的师德对话活动,闪烁着师德尊严与光辉的师德仪式活动,以"师德问题求解"为核心的师德研修活动,"关怀备至"的师德发展支持性活动,等等。为保证师德活动能够科学有效地开展,必须建立完善的承托机制,即构建师德共同体、建立系统的师德活动制度与机制、建设立体化的师德活动资源平台与支持体系。     

中国和新加坡初中数学教材认知机会的比较研究

培养学生的高层次数学认知能力已成为国内外数学教育研究的热点,而教材例题、习题则为培养学生的高层次认知能力提供了机会与途径。本研究从认知机会视角出发,对比分析中国与新加坡两国初中数学教材例题及习题的数量、18种理解表现的占比、认知复杂性和认知水平。经过比较发现,中国教材例题及习题数量偏少、批判性与创造性思维训练题型有所缺失、对数学问题解决能力的重视不够、例题及习题认知复杂性和认知水平跨度大。因此,我国在今后的初中数学教材建设中应注重以下方面:(1)适度增加例题和习题数量;(2)强化批判性、创造性思维的训练;(3)加强培养学生解决数学问题的能力;(4)合理设置例题与习题的认知复杂性和水平跨度。     

中小学教师“能力本位” 继续教育质量观的内涵与实践路径

面对国家质量转型、社会发展和学习者对职业整合能力的需求,从业者提升职业素养已显得极为重要。中小学教师作为基础教育现代化发展的重要主体,树立正确的继续教育质量观,不仅是促进自身职业能力提升的重要前提,也是保障基础教育质量稳步提升的关键。然而,当前对于中小学教师“能力本位”继续教育质量观的内涵与养成路径还存在一些模糊认识或难以消解其模糊界定。基于此,梳理中小学教师典型的继续教育质量观,深度解读中小学教师“能力本位”继续教育的内涵和表征,继而基于“能力本位”的增值性质量观,通过以能力增值为评价标准、以提高质量为保障标准等实践路径,整体提升中小学教师的个人品质和能力,就不失为贯彻“能力本位”继续教育质量观的核心要义及重要举措,也可为办人民满意的基础教育提供智识支持。
