The influence of an integrated PBL format on geography students’ perceptions of their self-directedness in learning

Problem-based learning can be implemented in South African geography teacher education to foster geography students’ self-directed learning skills. The purpose of this longitudinal case study was to determine B.Ed. geography students’ (n = 45) perceptions of their self-directedness in learning in integrated problem-based learning experiences over a three-year period. The study used quantitative and qualitative research methods based on questionnaire application and semi-structured focus group interviews. The students completed a standardized questionnaire at regular intervals with the implementation of integrated problem-based learning experiences in geography modules over a three-year period. Focus group interviews with participants (n = 8) were employed to get a deeper understanding of the results of quantitative data. The results indicated that the geography students’ self-directed learning scores increased with the implementation of an integrated problem-based learning format in geography over the three-year period. The students who measured average, below average and low levels of self-directed learning at the beginning of the study had the highest increase in self-directed learning scores over the three years. The female students’ perceptions of their self-directedness in learning had higher increases in their self-directed learning scores after the problem-based learning interventions when compared to the male students.     

日本武士信仰的特征

日本武士从登上政治舞台到完全掌握政权的过程中拥有了自己的信仰。武士的信仰不是为了拯救灵魂在死后得到一个安宁的去处,而是为了在自己生活的现实世界获得利益。武士的信仰不是单纯的本土信仰,而是吸收了异文化的营养,并使之融合在一起。因此可以说,武士信仰具有现世主义和兼容并包的特征。武士信仰的特征反映了武士与传统的贵族统治者的区别,也代表了日本人信仰的普遍特点。这些特点同样体现在当今日本人的信仰中。

An examination of student veteran education pathways at an American university

Military veterans are enrolling in higher education at the highest rates since the Second World War. This research seeks to examine how military experiences related to student experiences within the discipline of Geography. We use a survey instrument to measure student motivations, attitudes, and aspirations for declared Geography majors. Given a high presence of military connected students, we then examine the similarities and differences in motivations, attitudes, and aspirations between military connected and non-military students. Findings suggest that there are similarities between military and non-military students with regard to motivating factors for selecting Geography as a major, there are differences with regards to attitudes towards cultural geography, and differences in how students perceive their future interactions with the environment. Differences in demographics and travel experiences also are identified and likely contribute to shaping undergraduate geography experiences. The results offer useful insight on current Geography student needs, and assist faculty and departments in tailoring learning based on student experience.     

基础日语说课

说课,是介于备课和上课之间的一种教学研究活动,现在已经成为了各大中小学校评价教师教学效果、教学质量的一种教学活动,是教师在备课的基础上,面对同行、专家,系统而概括地解说自己对某一门课程或者某一章节的理解,阐述自己的教学观点,表述自己执教的教学思想、方法、手段以及组织教学的形式等,然后由大家进行评说。说课,是一种新的教学研究活动,需要广大教师认真学〉-j,积极参与。

清季俄罗斯文馆延聘俄人教习研究

在俄罗斯文馆存在的一个半世纪里,先后有多名俄人担任教习之职。康熙年间,文馆教习由俄国商队成员、降人及后裔充任,教习队伍不稳定,语言水平也不高。从雍正初期起,文馆开始延聘俄国东正教驻北京传教士团成员担任教习,其中罗索欣、弗拉德金和列昂季耶夫与满人富勒赫合作编写出中国第一本俄语教科书。自道光年间起,有4位传教士团领班被俄罗斯文馆聘为教习,但由于鸦片战争爆发后中俄关系的实质已经由以往的平等交往转向了俄国伙同西方列强对中国进行瓜分,他们并未发挥出"协同教授"的作用,更多时候是将在文馆兼职作为为俄国政府探听清廷内情的机会或手段。     

纸张DEZ气相脱酸应用研究

通过 DEZ 对酸性纸进行脱酸应用的研究,考核了真空处理器的性能,筛选了处理工艺条件(真空度、温度、处理时间、DEZ 投放量及其关系等).确定了最佳的参数:真空度不低于13.33 Pa;温度控制在60C 左右;DEZ 投入量为需脱酸纸张重量的2％即可得到脱酸的效果。2m~3真空处理器的设计合理.适应 DEZ 气相脱酸的要求,容量大,一次能处理5000册杂志,除了能完成脱酸外,还能消毒、杀虫,具有多功能的特点。DEZ 对酸性纸脱酸有较宽的适应性,能对各种质地、成册的图书进行脱酸中和,pH 值均在中性偏碱范围,证实了 DEZ 气相脱酸的优越性能,为保护文化遗产,提供了一种新的手段和方法。     

初中物理课堂教学实施创新教育探索

在物理课堂教学中，必须充分考虑学生自身的各种心理需要，每一具体教学环节的实施，都应能满足学生的需要，并注意引发学生创新的需要。学生一旦形成了这种需要，就有一种满足这种需要的内部动力，推动学生去创造性地学习和思考，充分开发自己的潜能，能使人的创造心理活动全部都处于亢奋状态，为人的创新能力的形成和发展提供不竭的能源。
