高校英语课堂中科学信息素养的培育策略研究

英语教学并非单纯地教授学生英语技能和能力,而是担负着为时代发展需求培养国际化优质人才的使命和担当。随着我国高等教学水平的逐步提升,英语教学开始向学术化的方向不断发展,旨在培养出拥有较高专业化知识与英语技能的复合型人才,为我国提升国际核心竞争力奠定坚实的人才基础。近年来,信息技术的跨越式发展扩展了获取信息的渠道,通过英语教学培养学生获取国外先进技术理论信息的能力是我国实现与国际化接轨的必要举措。但是在实际的高校英语课堂教学中,在学生科学信息素养的培育方面还存在着诸多的不足。文章以此为研究对象展开探索和讨论,通过提出在高校英语教学中培养学生科学信息素养的策略,达到提升教学质量,满足时代对于优质人才需求的目的。

Responsibility,planning and risk management: moralizing everyday finance through financial education

The individualization, privatization and marketization of risk management represent a fundamental dimension of the financialization of everyday life. As individuals are required to engage with financial products and services as the main way of protecting themselves from risks and uncertainties, their economic welfare and security are construed as depending largely on their own financial decisions. Within this setting, the concept of financial literacy and accompanying practices of financial education have emerged as a prominent institutional field handling the formulation and communication of the attributes and dispositions that arguably constitute the proper financial actor. This article analyzes financial education programmes currently conducted by state agencies in Israel, examining the notions and principles they articulate when defining and explaining proper financial conduct. The study indicates that moral themes and categories occupy a salient place in the formulation of the character traits that constitute the desired literate financial actor. Notions of individual responsibility, planning ahead and rational risk management are presented not merely as instrumental resources, but as moral imperatives. Through these notions, the programmes moralize a broad array of everyday practices of personal finance such as saving, investing, borrowing and budget management, thereby connecting the sphere of financial matters to the domain of moral virtues. Offering a representation of particular modes of financial conduct as constitutive components of morally virtuous personhood, these practices imbue the financial field as a whole, especially its current generalized logic of individualized and marketized risk management, with moral meanings, hence contributing to the normalization and depoliticization of the financialization of everyday life.     

Health insurance literacy: A mixed methods study of college students

Objective: This study examines the health insurance literacy, or the ability to use health insurance effectively, of college students. Participants: A total of 455 students from a large, public university completed an online questionnaire in November 2016. Methods: A questionnaire examined students’ knowledge of commonly encountered health insurance terms and ability to apply that knowledge to determine cost-sharing in a clinical setting. Results: The majority of students were able to correctly identify the most commonly encountered terms, but could not identify terms related to plan types and options. Eighty-eight percent of students could not determine their cost-sharing for two presented scenarios. Approximately half of the students indicated they had been confused about their health insurance plan, with one-quarter of students stopping or delaying medical care due to confusion. Conclusions: Outreach and education for students should target specific deficits in knowledge such as those identified in this study.     

Understanding racial literacy through acts of (un)masking: Latinx teachers in a new Latinx diaspora community

As Latinx teachers are recruited to work in U.S. schools, a continued agenda to understand their experiences is warranted. This multiple case study considers the storytelling of six Latinx teachers in a new Latinx diaspora community. It documents both their racial literacy (the ability to resolve racially stressful issues) and their experiences with (un)masking (literal and figurative ways to cover or embrace racial markers). This study reveals the tensions that arise when Latinx teachers attempt to define their identity in social spaces where their languages, bodies, and names, among other markers, are racialized when read by others. Implications for teacher education include a call to include storytelling as a pedagogical tool to develop Latinx teachers’ racial literacy skills. By experiencing storytelling in their own schooling, Latinx teachers are more likely to model such racial literacy skills in their schooling communities; thereby, empowering a generation of students to enact more humanizing behaviors.     

英美文学素养与高校理科生创新思维培养

以广西桂林高校理工科大学生为样本,对英美文学对学生创新思维培养的实证分析表明:理工科大学生英美文学水平总体不高,创新思维能力呈中等水平;选(必)修英美文学课程不仅能提高学生英美文学素养,也促进了学生创新思维能力的发展;学生英美文学水平与创新思维能力呈中度正相关。因此,理工科院校应倡导学生重视自身英美文学素养的提高,并积极开设英美文学选(必)修课程,努力推进专业学科与人文学科的有机结合,以培养具有全面素质的优秀人才。     

湖南高校理工科大学生媒介素养教育调查与分析

提高媒介素养、加强媒介素养教育的呼声随着大众传媒日益深广的影响而显得越来越迫切。调查表明,理工科大学生对媒介资源的运用趋向理性,但对媒介素养的认知和批判能力的欠缺,反映了其媒介素养不够。同时,理工科大学生对媒介素养教育的主动参与性还远远不够。     

论创新型人才培养中的信息素养教育

培养创新型人才不仅是知识经济时代全面推进素质教育的必然要求,也是高校自我发展的内在要求。信息素养作为创新型人才应具备的重要素质,有助于促进学生的创新意识、创新思维和创新能力培养。针对国内高校在学生信息素养教育方面存在的问题,应多措并举加以提高完善。     

新传媒 新素养:媒体素养教育的变与不变

随着传播媒体日新月异的发展,媒体与阅听人二者已不像过去仅仅是"上对下"的产制-接收者关系,而是以一种打破单一产制者或单一接收者的多面向方式存在于当前的媒体环境当中。媒体素养教育面对当前的传播现实,所应持有的"变"自然是发生在媒体近用的方式中;而"不变"的仍是媒体素养所强调的阅听人具有发声能力,以期媒体作为公共领域中实现公民权利的一种方式,并能促进社会公平正义的实现。
