山东省高职院校教师企业实践锻炼现状调查分析

职业院校教师到企业实践锻炼是适应高职教育发展的需要,是构建"双师型"教师队伍的重要途径。本文根据对山东省50余所高职院校教师和40余家企业的调查情况,从学校鼓励政策、教师企业锻炼管理情况和效果以及企业对教师实践的态度等方面进行了分析,较全面的反映了山东省高职院校教师企业实践锻炼的现状,指出了存在的问题。     

完善高校教师绩效考核的对策

教师绩效考核评价是人事管理的重要内容。目前我国高校教师绩效考核存在定位模糊、导向不合理、考核指标不科学、考核过程不完整等诸多问题。完善高校教师绩效考核,就要建立科学的评价指标,选取合理的考核方法,并注重考核结果的合理利用。     

论职业院校“双师型”教师专业发展的四种模式

职业院校"双师型"教师专业发展有四种模式,即"学术-理性"模式、"技术-训练"模式、"实践-反思"模式和"文化-生态"模式。每种模式都体现出不同的特点和路径。通过分析这四种模式使我们认识到,职业院校"双师型"教师专业发展是一个复杂的多种因素作用的过程和结果,是一个"学术性、技术性和师范性"相融合的文化过程,是一个学术体系与工作体系、理论知识与实践操作、应用与创新的生态化发展过程。     

“学生评教”——提高教师素质的有效手段

通过学生参与“评教”,使得教师主动调整教学态度和提高自身业务素质,调动教师提高课堂教学质量的积极性,营造教师之间相互促进的氛围,达到在教学中引进竞争机制的目的。     

新教师入职适应现状调查及对策研究——基于浙江省嘉兴市域高师毕业新教师职业技能的视角

为了解教师教育转型后高师院校教育教学改革的成效,研究小组以问卷与访谈的形式对浙江省嘉兴市域高师毕业新教师的职业技能状况进行调查。结果表明,新教师职业技能自评状况不容乐观。大学的重视程度与时间的保证、大学的教学与训练形式、大学教师指导的认真程度以及学生自身的态度与兴趣是决定教师职业技能成效的主要因素。除此以外,教师教育转型导致的内外因素的变化也对教师职业技能训练的成效造成不容忽视的影响。因此,高师院校必须推进课程改革,改进教学方法和教学组织形式,抓实实习实训工作,改革考核考试机制,激发和调动全体学生的积极性,为实现教师的专业化做出自己的努力。     

从协助指导研究生中搭建青年教师成长平台

高校青年教师尤其是新进博士要认真重视并积极参加岗前培训,正确认识和处理好作为协助导师与责任导师之间的关系,引导硕士研究生进行项目研究和论文撰写,同时提高自身素质和科研能力。     

新时期高职院校教师绩效考核研究

高职院校教师绩效考核要坚持全面、科学、公平和导向原则,构建科学、动态的考核体系,注重能力、过程和结果考核,以调动教师工作积极性,促进其职业发展。     

Perceptions of pre-service teachers on seismic risk and their implications for science education: a comparative study between Spain and Portugal

Abstract

This study investigated the importance given by two groups of pre-service teachers of primary education from Spain and Portugal to seismic risk in a framework of different natural risks, both in personal terms and as future teachers. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Some questions about the seismic phenomenon were also included. The sample groups consisted of 110 students from an institution in Spain and 121 from one in Portugal. Both institutions are in cities affected by the historic Lisbon earthquake of 1755. The results showed that the risk of forest fire was the first choice for classroom study in both cases. The Spanish group was also more focused on the importance of other risks like flood and drought. The Portuguese group showed a greater concern with seismic risk, frequently referring to their own historic earthquake of 1755. A few gaps in knowledge concerning earthquake prediction and comparing seismic risk in different regions of their own countries were also found. In accordance with the results, it is suggested that training courses for primary school teachers should include Disaster Risk Education in Science Education for a better understanding of the impact of various hazards and a greater concern with seismic risk due to its particular features, especially in regions where the seismic pattern is characterized by long seismic cycles with major earthquake episodes.     

Enhancing Practicing Primary School Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Technology

This paper describes the frameworks and cognitive tools that have been developed to enhance practising teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in primary school technology education. The frameworks evolved from our research that firstly examined existing teaching practices, secondly enhanced formative interactions and thirdly enhanced summative assessment strategies. The evidence gained over the three years demonstrated how the effective use of frameworks could be utilised to enhance teacher pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). How we see learning is of prime importance in examining the development of teacher pedagogical content knowledge. A sociocultural view of learning is taken where human mental processes are situated within their historical, cultural and institutional setting. In the research project we strongly emphasised the need for teachers to build a knowledge base for teaching technology. Critical aspects identified as enhancing PCK included: negotiated intervention, planning frameworks, reflection on case studies, workshops and support in classrooms, appropriate resources, teacher agreement meetings, portfolios of student work and summative profiles. The increased PCK resulted in: enhanced teacher knowledge about technology including the nature of technology, areas of technology and specific technological knowledge, changed pedagogical approaches, enhanced teacher student interaction, refinement of appropriate learning outcomes, critical decision making, improved teacher confidence, and enhanced student learning. Seven characteristics or features of pedagogical content knowledge that we believe are important for effective teaching and learning in technology are presented.

西部高校教师的质量问题及原因分析

西部高校教师的整体质量问题不容乐观,造成这种状况的一个重要原因是教师中人才的严重流失,但更重要的原因是教师管理与开发存在一系列的问题,如分配制度缺乏激励性,高层次人才引进困难,教师人力资源开发工作落后,工作条件相对较差,个人难以施展才华,人才管理水平落后,人事制度改革滞后,西部高校外部环境相对较差.
