Curriculum Development and Teachers for Cultivating OECD Student Agency in Japan:From an Examination of Educational Thought,Educational System,History,and Contemporary Science and Mathematics Education Practices

The purpose of this paper is to examine the development of a curriculum in Japan to foster the agency(OECD Student Agency)necessary for children living in the future,as outlined in the OECD Education2030 Project,and the role of teachers who implement this curriculum.Therefore,I aim to achieve this goal by taking an overview of educational thought,educational systems and history,and examining several initiatives in the OECD Project and the situation of a Japanese high school that practices science and mathematics education.As a result of analyzing previous research and the narratives obtained from interviews with Teacher A(pseudonym)of a certain F High School(pseudonym),it was found that school education should not simply teach subjects,but should aim to enable student to help student exercise agency in the future.It was suggested that it is not necessary to add content to the curriculum,but rather to prepare to provide students with competencies that will enable them to use the content in various contexts,situations,and circumstances,suggesting that in order to discover such important competencies,teachers and other related parties are required to implement curricula that allow students to slowly and carefully explore the competencies surrounding the content,and to conceive and build curricula that include both hidden and intended curriculum that allows student to reflect on the curriculum they have achieved.

Master Thesis Topics and Correlations With Curriculum Development

This paper analyzes a total of 294 master thesis topics for students at Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation （GSTI）, Beijing Foreign Studies University （BFSU） between years 2006-2010 and 160 topics at Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation （GIIT）, Shanghai International Studies University （SH1SU） between years 2007-2013, with the purpose of establishing correlations between thesis topics and curriculum development, comparing and contrasting the topics between BFSU and SHISU. The study is both quantitative and qualitative. Over the years students of BFSU and SHISU have shown a progress of possessing more and more appropriate methodological expertise in selecting research topics. More and more students have examined relatively new translation theories. We also see a change from picking overdone topics to more and more original topics. Our progress in no small part thanks to our administrative measures. As for GSTI of BFSU, however there is a demand for elective courses to cover areas such as interdisciplinary approaches to translation and multimedia, which are untouched in the current courses that focus on professional translation and interpretation. We might also want to sharpen students＇ language skill in providing purposefully language-rich texts for practices and allowing for more diversified options, such as introducing texts in world literature, ethnic English literature, drama, poetry, and non classics. The GSTI＇s long term cooperation with well-known organizations, both domestic and international, especially with United Nations at Geneva and New York, and European Union, offers students many on site training and field experiences. We might also want to introduce functional research methods, thus students can learn how to transform their field experiences into academic work.

This study adopts the grounded theory approach to critically examine the essence and implementation of Ideological and Political Education(IPE)within college English curricula at Chinese Universities.We analyzed a corpus of 80 award-winning lesson plans from the“Teaching Star Competition”held by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press to establish specific constituents that comprise IPE and identify the instructional methodologies incorporated in the teaching process.The research shows that IPE strategically merges language proficiency training with civic education,aiming to cultivate a strong national identity,solid cultural pride,and global competencies.To be more detailed,the core categories of IPE encapsulate critical thinking,professional ethics,and cross-cultural communication skills,which are based on the innovative use of technological resources and adaptive pedagogical strategies.IPE has also elaborated on the comprehensive assessment mechanisms to measure cognitive and affective outcomes,making it a multidimensional activity.Following a three-stage coding process,this study aims to contribute to this discussion regarding ideological and political education integrated into Chinese higher education institutions.The finding and conclusion in this study drawn for future curriculum developments and reformulation of educational policy suggest ways IPE could better serve in fostering well-rounded individuals capable of contributing to national and global contexts.

从“再现性策略”课程到“建构性策略”课程--当代职业教育课程的范式转变与发展趋势

改革开放以来,我国职业教育引进了多种先进课程理念,并发展起一些具有中国特色的课程模式,但多数教师没有理解背后的深层逻辑,致使在课程建设中遇到很多问题。该文从职业理解、能力内涵、知识概念、工作分析方法等角度对我国职业教育改革实践中的主要课程模式进行分析,归纳确认了“再现性策略”和“建构性策略”两种课程范式,并从课程目标、学习内容、学习理论基础、划分课程结构的逻辑、课程开发方法等方面进行了区分。该文建议,为实现职业教育高质量发展,需要实现课程范式的转变,即从基于传统学校教育的“再现性策略”课程转变为“建构性策略”课程。这一范式变化符合新职业教育法对技术技能人才成长规律的关注,体现了先进学习理论的要求。该文还提醒,高技能人才培养的课程应更加关注理论和实践的复杂关系。

课程领导研究的本土化建构:类型、过程与话语

“课程领导”本土化研究主要有6种类型:拿来参照式、溯源跟踪式、学理审议式、实践植培式、去路径依赖式、理路构造式,这6种类型在一定程度上也反映本土化建构的过程时序。研究话语根据异域理论参照程度不同大致可分为3个层次:拿来参照式和溯源跟踪式研究是强异域话语参照,学理审议式和实践植培式研究是弱异域话语参照,去路径依赖式和理路构造式研究则逐渐明显增多自主创生的本土研究话语。揭示课程领导研究的本土化进程对我们更自觉地推进本土课程理论建构具有一定启示价值。
