从认知理论看实验能力与创新能力的关系

认知心理学理论认为,人的知识与能力的获得实际上就是信息的加工过程,也即是学习者在能力习得过程的对已有经验的刺激反应过程.大学实验不仅培养学生的动手能力,它也是孕育创新能力的培养课程.实验能力与思维方式、年龄、智商、性别、知识积累和培养方式等诸多因素相关,思维方式与思维路径绝对创新力,反之,借助于创新性实验教学可以提高学生的创造性思维.     

风险情境下的IT外包知识转移效果改进决策

通过建立风险情境下的IT外包知识转移Stackelberg模型,研究了发包方与服务商的知识转移策略,分析了发包方的风险态度和转移知识的企业专用性对知识转移效果的影响机理。研究结果发现,风险意识不够强的发包方不应进行知识转移,增强发包方的风险意识可以局部改进知识转移效果,增强发包方转移知识的企业专用性可以全面改进知识转移效果。最后提出了发包方在长、短期内的知识转移效果改进策略,并用算例验证了策略的有效性。     

The role of problem representation and feature knowledge in algebraic equation-solving

Domain experts have two major advantages over novices with regard to problem solving: experts more accurately encode deep problem features (feature encoding) and demonstrate better conceptual understanding of critical problem features (feature knowledge). In the current study, we explore the relative contributions of encoding and knowledge of problem features (e.g., negative signs, the equals sign, variables) when beginning algebra students solve simple algebraic equations. Thirty-two students completed problems designed to measure feature encoding, feature knowledge and equation solving. Results indicate that though both feature encoding and feature knowledge were correlated with equation-solving success, only feature knowledge independently predicted success. These results have implications for the design of instruction in algebra, and suggest that helping students to develop feature knowledge within a meaningful conceptual context may improve both encoding and problem-solving performance.     

Beliefs,Practical Knowledge,and Context: A Longitudinal Study of a Beginning Biology Teacher's 5E Unit

The purpose of this three‐year case study was to understand how a beginning biology teacher (Alice) designed and taught a 5E unit on natural selection, how the unit changed when she took a position in a different school district, and why the changes occurred. We examined Alice's developing beliefs about science teaching and learning, practical knowledge, and perceptions of school context in relation to the 5E unit. Data sources consisted of interviews, classroom observations, and lesson materials. We found that Alice placed more emphasis on the explore phase, less emphasis on the engage and explain phases, and removed the elaborate phase over time. Alice's beliefs about science teaching and learning acted as a filter for making sense of practical knowledge and perceptions of context. Although her beliefs were student centered, they aligned with discovery learning in which little intervention from the teacher is required. We discuss how her beliefs, practical knowledge, and perceptions of context explained the changes in her practice. This study sheds insight into the nature of beliefs and how they relate to the 5E lesson phases, as well as the different lenses for viewing the 5E instructional model. Implications for science teacher preparation and induction programs are discussed.     

Assessing the Ability of an Online Environment to Facilitate the Critical Features of Teacher Professional Development

Providing teachers effective professional development (PD) is an ongoing challenge in the field of education. Emergence of technological innovations in the form of computer‐based asynchronous and synchronous communication has provided new opportunities to improve and expand teacher PD opportunities beyond the physical walls of a school. The purpose of this meta‐analysis is to examine the ability of online learning environments to facilitate the critical features of teacher PD identified in Desimone (2009) as content focus, active learning, coherence, duration, and collective participation. Analysis of the 20 empirical studies sought to reveal the purpose of the study, methodologies utilized, and major findings. Multiple studies indicated the ability of an online environment to engage teachers in active learning, collective participation, and content‐focused learning activities. Additionally, the results of this meta‐analysis revealed a lack of empirical studies that have examined the ability of online teacher PD to support the critical features of coherence and duration. Findings of this research have implications for a future research agenda and policy considerations related to online teacher PD initiatives.

An analysis of the form and content of quadrilateral definitions composed by novice pre-service teachers

Mathematical definitions are an important mathematical construct which has been noted as a challenging topic for both teachers and students. This study provides an analysis of the form and content of a set of 308 definitions of quadrilateral types provided by 44 novice pre-service elementary teachers (NPSTs) who had not yet studied geometry or definitions on the college level. Analysis of definition structure including necessary, sufficient, and minimal conditions, as well as hierarchical and partitional structure, provides insight into what NPSTs may think about the form of mathematical definitions in general. Analysis of the properties used in definitions of each shape type and the frequency of those properties reveals the shape types with which NPSTs are most and least familiar. These results are presented alongside possible applications and implications for instruction.     

An in-service primary teacher’s implementation of mathematical tasks: the case of length measurement and perimeter instruction

The purpose of this paper is to examine the cognitive demand levels of tasks used by an in-service primary teacher during length measurement and perimeter instruction and to examine a possible link between these tasks and the teacher’s mathematical knowledge in teaching. For this purpose, a case study approach was used and the data was drawn from classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and field notes. Specific tasks from length measurement and perimeter instruction were presented and analyzed according to the Mathematical Tasks Framework. Then, how these tasks gave information about the teacher’s mathematical knowledge in teaching in the length measurement and perimeter topics was examined according to the Knowledge Quartet model. According to the findings of the study, the tasks used during length measurement and perimeter instruction were mostly categorized as low-level tasks. In addition, teacher’s mathematical knowledge in teaching affected the implementation of the tasks.
