商务英语专业学生思辨能力培养研究：困境、理念与路径创新

近年来,思辨能力的培养日益受到高等教育界的关注,然思辨能力的研究却陷入多重困境。以促进人的整体发展为主要目的的＂全人教育＂应是商务英语专业学生思辨能力培养的理念基础,《高等学校商务英语专业本科教学要求》（试行）的跨学科整合性应是学生思辨能力培养的新路径。  

论高职日语泛读课上学生批判性思维的培养

论述了批判性思维的重要性,分析了批判性思维的内涵,然后分析目前高校批判性思维培养缺失的原因,结合高职日语泛读课程的教学实例探讨培养批判性思维的有效途径。  

论模拟法庭教学中大学生批判性思维能力的培养

批判性思维是在反省的基础上对所学知识的真实性、精确性、性质与价值做出理性的个人判断的一种思维,是从事法律职业者所应具备的基本职业能力。模拟法庭教学作为法学专业的实践性教学课程,是培养学生批判性思维的有效途径。而将批判性思维运用于模拟法庭教学实践中,则可以促进模拟法庭教学内容的创新与完善,进一步提高法学专业本科生的职业素养。  

知识员工创新失败学习仅靠领导包容足够吗？

知识员工在创新工作中的失败学习具有高价值和高阻力特征，领导的积极引导和员工自身素养是促进失败学习的良方。基于关系型领导理论和经验学习理论，引入心理资本作为中介变量，以批判性思维作为调节变量，构建被调节的中介模型，探讨包容型领导对知识员工失败学习的影响机制。对368名知识员工的样本数据进行实证分析发现：包容型领导正向影响知识员工失败学习，心理资本在该过程中起部分中介作用；批判性思维正向调节心理资本与知识员工失败学习的关系，包容型领导通过心理资本影响知识员工失败学习的间接效应。  

Motivating a Productive Discussion of Normative Issues Through Debates

In this article, the author presents a way of using in-class debates to discuss contentious issues and help students develop critical thinking skills. Three elements were incorporated into an undergraduate public finance course: a presentation of ethical approaches in order to formally discuss normative issues, class debates which required students to work in groups and imaginatively occupy a perspective with which they were not personally comfortable, and individual reflection which forced students to reconcile their beliefs with academic evidence. The results show that even if students did not change their perspectives on economic policy, the reasons why they have those perspectives did change to be based in academic theory and evidence and not their blind adherence to specific political platforms.  

Effect of Graduate-Program Rank on Success in the Job Market

Economic educators often profess the goal of teaching our students to “think like economists.” Since Siegfried and colleagues (1991) coined this phrase, its meaning has been interpreted as a focus on analytical concepts and methods of economics as opposed to the broader goal of preparing students for independent, critical thought in the complex world beyond college. Colander and McGoldrick (2009b) argued that students are more likely to achieve both of these objectives when the learning process includes open-ended questions that encourage them to move beyond algorithmic application of textbook principles. In this article, the authors operationalize this “big think” approach through an instructional module on differential tuition pricing, the development of which was enhanced by careful attention to contemporary learning theory.  

Effectively Moderating Electronic Discussions

Although instructors are increasingly using electronic discussions with both traditional and online classes, little has been written about how to best moderate these discussions. Moderating online discussions requires tremendous skill. As with in-class discussions, the primary goal of the moderator is to ensure that the discussion continually makes progress toward more advanced critical thinking. Because of this, moderator comments should be limited to helping students make the transitions associated with increasing cognitive complexity rather than leading them to predetermined answers. Building on the existing literature on both in-class and online discussions to teach critical thinking, the authors develop concrete strategies that can be used to make discussions more productive.  

OECD国家深化教育创新改革的进展与启示

近十年来,OECD国家以多种方式加快推进教育改革,并重视培养学生“解决问题的能力”、鼓励学生使用“信息化技术”、强调“主动式学习”、强调教师专业能力特别是“批判性思考”技能。这些实践是OECD国家教育创新的亮点,对我国深化教育改革,培养21世纪创新型人才具有重要的参考意义。
