简论中学语文教学法课程的教学内容——中学语文教学法课程教学改革研究之二

我国近百年来总是把中学语文教学法的学科研究内容当作课程教学内容 ,导致教学基本要素缺失 ,以学科结构来安排教学序列 ,导致本应以训练教学能力为主的教学过程变成了理论的宣讲过程 ,这是该课程在教学实践中的最大失误。改革中学语文教学法课程的教学内容 ,就必须使教学内容回归 ,在对其作出科学选择的基础上 ,根据中学语文教学能力的形成规律进行优化组合     

A Quantal Choice Model for the Detection of Copying on Multiple Choice Examinations

It is difficult to devise a statistical test to detect one student copying from another. Many prior efforts falsely accuse students of cheating. A general methodology based on the quantal choice model of decision theory overcomes these problems. Three steps are involved: (1) for each item estimate the probability and the variance that a given respondent will select each response, (2) for pairs of respondents, these probabilities determine the expected number of matches, and (3) compare the critical value to the number of items matched. Methods differ based on the probability estimation technique. Four methods (simple frequencies, Frary, Tideman, and Watts modification [8], logit, and multinomial probit) are compared on theoretical and empirical grounds. Theory and results show that it is crucial to incorporate the variance of the probability estimates. The probit model has theoretical advantages over the other methods and produces more accurate results.     

A Generalized Loss Function for Process Optimization

The use of loss functions for measuring the undesirability associated with failure to achieve target values for manufacturing product characteristics is widespread in industry. This study presents a generalization of one of the most commonly used loss functions and compares the two functions based on five theoretical criteria. A simulation involving multiple probability distributions for a single product characteristic is used to compare the performance of the loss functions. An example from the manufacture of helicopter transmission gears is used to empirically demonstrate the superiority of the generalized loss function over the conventional loss function.     

A Response to Xiao's “Necessary and Sufficient Conditions of Unacceptable Solutions in LP Discriminant Analysis”: Something is Amiss

Characterization of unacceptable solutions of linear programming methods for linear discriminant problems have been studied by many researchers. This note shows that a recent correction was not a correction but a tightening of prior results.

论在视唱练耳教学中对学生非智力性因素的培养

视唱练耳是音乐教育中的一门基础性课程,它极好的承接了乐理课程的讲授内容,并为之后展开的和声、分析、欣赏、史论等理论课程以及演唱演奏类课程做了充分的准备。由于音乐和视唱练耳的特殊性,即与除了技能之外的心理、思想等因素联系紧密,当今的视唱练耳教学中,除了传统的知识和技能的传授之外,一些非智力性因素,诸如动机、意志、情绪和情感等,也发挥着重要的作用。了解和运用好这些非智力性因素,不但能提升学生学习的效果,更重要的是为学生终身热爱音乐、热爱艺术、热爱生活打下良好的基础。     

MSW Student Experiences in Online vs. Face-to-Face Teaching Formats?

Institutions of higher education have embraced online formats as a new form of teaching in order to reach more students. Like other disciplines, social work pedagogy has embraced the use of online technology in higher education. As a professional and ethical responsibility, it is imperative that social work online courses are of high quality and that they meet the stated objectives. The study presented here describes students' perceptions and experiences in online and in-classroom sections in the Theories and Practice with Communities and Agencies course at a large public university in Southeastern USA. A survey was administered to the students at the end of the semester. Qualitative themes show that method of instruction as it related to course content, comfort with the level of instruction, and role of instructor in online courses affected students' perceptions of both the course and method of instruction. Discussions are directed toward improving online instruction in social work education.     

Intercultural teaching through translation: an Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) literacy course case in Afghanistan

The purpose of this study was to teach and evaluate the effectiveness of an Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) course through translation to students in Afghanistan. First, an interview was conducted to determine students’ computer skills. It was concluded that the students had almost no computer skills. The course was delivered to two groups of first-year students for 14 weeks during one semester. In group one, students were taught by a Turkish instructor through a translator. The course was delivered to group 2 by a native-language speaking teacher. At the end of the semester, students of both groups were given a final exam and were asked to comment about teaching speed, overall satisfaction, teacher reactions, course materials and future improvements to the course. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the final performances of students in both groups. The students also declared that they wanted to greatly improve their computer skills and use the Internet to make use of digital ICT resources for other courses, too. An additional finding was that there was a 20-min time-delay between the Turkish and native groups due to the translation process throughout each course session.
