An Empirical Study of the Effect of Inquiry Teaching on the Development of High School Students'Critical Thinking Under the New Curriculum Standards

The Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China has issued three guideline documents to encourage inquiry teaching to help students develop their ability to question,which is a defining feature of critical thinking.Two of the documents have clearly stated that English subject teaching should focus on building students’thinking capacity.Critical thinking is an essential feature of building thinking capacity and a key element of the core competencies the English subject seeks to cultivate.This research measures the performance of students of two high school classes in the exams conducted at the beginning,in the middle,and at the end of the experiment period during which inquiry teaching was applied to enhance students’critical thinking ability.The experiment results show that inquiry teaching can improve students’academic performance in English study and help them better develop their language skills.The implementation of the inquiry design in teaching listening,reading,and writing conforms to the law that governs the development of critical thinking,and the adoption of inquiry teaching can promote the development of critical thinking.

Role of theories in school-based diabetes care interventions:A critical review

BACKGROUND Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood.School plays an essential role in the management of student diabetes,which reduces the risk of short-and long-term diabetes complications and ensures that students are wellpositioned for optimal academic performance and growth.AIM The aim of this review was to systematically identify and synthesize the literature concerning theory-based diabetes care interventions in K-12 schools in the United States.It critically assessed the specific role of theories and associated essential constructs in intervention design,implementation,outcome measurement,and evaluation.METHODS Relevant literature was identified by keyword searches of the Cochrane Library,PubMed,and Web of Science.RESULTS Four interventions met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review.Of those,two evaluated online diabetes education programs for school personnel and the other two assessed in-person interventions.Three studies adopted a onegroup pre-post study design,and the remaining one adopted a one-shot casestudy design.Three of the interventions adopted social cognitive theory,and the remaining one was guided by the diffusion of innovations theory.Three studies identified core constructs of a theory as predictors of behavioral change.Two used theory to select or develop intervention techniques.Two studies used theory to customize participant intervention techniques.Two studies discussed their findings in the context of theory.No study used theory to select potential intervention participants.CONCLUSION In conclusion,despite the value of theory in intervention design and evaluation,theory-based diabetes interventions at school remain scarce.Future research may seek ways to better integrate theory and empirical research.

Questioning to the Feasibility of Offering English Courses in the Primary Schools in China

After entering 21 st century,our country has started an incomparable huge English teaching revolution. English has been taught in more and more universities,colleges,high schools,and even primary schools since the early 1990 s. After the decision,which made by China` s Ministry of Education,of offering English courses from Grade 3 in primary schools nationwide in China from county-level in the fall of 2001 was carried out step by step,the starting age of foreign language learning for children have been discussed in China. Many experts and scholars in foreign language teaching and research fields paid close attention to it and held different opinions about offering English courses in primary schools. This study aims to do some research in theory to query the feasibility of offering English courses to the primary school students in China. The mainly underlying theoretical framework in this thesis is the critical period hypothesis discussed by Rod Ellis in Understanding Second Language Acquisition. By referring to his argument about age,the thesis seeks other two theories to support the idea that it is inappropriate to offer English courses in primary schools.

Evaluation of the Literacy and Numeracy Screening Program in Three Types of National Primary Schools in Malaysia

Literacy and numeracy screening(LINUS)is a program implemented by the Malaysia Ministry of Education in primary schools nationwide to increase literacy skills of students in year 1–3.This study aimed at assessing the LINUS program implemented since 2010.Model of Critical Literacy by Freebody and Luke(1990)was applied in this study.Reading and writing tests for Malay language subject were developed from the module of LINUS program and conducted on 120 students from three different types of schools,namely national schools,national-type Chinese schools,and national-type Tamil schools.The results showed that the level of reading and writing of students was average.One-way analysis of variance tests showed significant differences between ethnic and type of schools with the reading and writing proficiency of the students;students of national schools scored the highest in reading test whereas the students of national-type Chinese school performed the best in writing test.In contrast,family socioeconomic status of the students did not influence their reading and writing proficiency.Therefore,teachers should take into account ethnic and type of schools in implementing the LINUS program as the main factors determining the level of literacy,achievement,and success of the LINUS program.

文艺评论助推创作繁荣的历史经验与现实意义——以“长安画派”为例

优秀的文艺评论通过问题聚焦、理论阐释和思想引领,不仅对受众有导向、提升的作用,而且对艺术创作亦能产生镜鉴、助推的效果。作为文艺评论助推艺术创作繁荣的一个典型案例,20世纪五六十年代《美术》杂志所刊文艺评论文章与“长安画派”绘画创作之历史钩沉,引起了新中国画推陈出新问题的激烈论争,触发了美术界关于文艺评论标准的讨论。由此延伸,建党百年以来,客观公正的文艺评论不断修正着文艺创作的发展路线,使得体现现实生活厚度,时代精神锐度和民族风格、中国气派高度的经典作品层出不穷。

中国电影批评史上的张恨水

从电影理论和电影史的角度出发审视中国电影批评,已经成为重写电影史的重要组成部分。尽管“鸳鸯蝴蝶派”在电影批评史中占据着重要地位,但当前研究对象主要聚焦于上海的代表人物周瘦鹃等,而对于北京的代表人物张恨水的研究相对较少。为了避免电影批评史狭隘地限定在“上海电影批评史”范畴内,有必要深入研究张恨水的电影批评。尽管张恨水是一位广为人知的通俗文学作家,目前的研究更多关注于电影叙事模式和剪辑手法对他小说创作的影响,而较少涉及他的电影批评。通过对他的电影批评的深入分析可以发现,张恨水并非电影的“门外汉”,而是在社会功能、艺术表现、技术制作和市场营销等方面拥有深刻的见解。张恨水的电影批评是“鸳鸯蝴蝶派”电影批评的重要组成部分,但在思维、视角和意识等方面与上海的“鸳鸯蝴蝶派”存在一定差异。这种差异正好突显了早期中国电影的多元共生和丰富繁荣,表明中国电影并非单一受益于某一思想的影响;相反,它是在不同观点和审美标准相互平衡和影响的情况下形成的。对张恨水的电影批评进行深入分析,有助于打破以上海为中心的传统电影史书写框架,重新解读“鸳鸯蝴蝶派”电影批评的文化价值,为理解早期中国电影生态的多元性和丰富性提供新的视角。

语言类型学与汉语研究四十年

语言类型学引入汉语学界四十年,经历了三个阶段,从早期的介绍和模仿,到理论的发展和深化,再到类型学理论与汉语事实的融合。类型学重要概念广为汉语学者所接受,并运用于语言研究中,汉语研究的类型学视野成为一种重要的研究范式。语言类型学在中国接受和发展不是偶然的,汉语学界的功能主义取向为语言类型学在中国生根发芽提供了肥沃的土壤,国内丰富的民族语言和汉语方言为语言类型学的发展提供了大量的语言材料,汉语不少违反类型学普遍共性的语言现象更是引起语言类型学者的广泛关注。

法兰克福学派女性学者对资本主义的批判--基于南茜·弗雷泽和拉埃尔·耶姬的文本研究

南茜·弗雷泽和拉埃尔·耶姬近期出版的《资本主义:批判理论中的一场对话》是法兰克福学派两大支脉女性学者的首次合流之作,展现了该学派女性学者对当代资本主义的批判。弗雷泽与耶姬试图从“方法论”的层面革新对资本主义的批判内容和批判方法:弗雷泽提出“去正统化”,沿着“前景—后景”的分析进路来揭示资本积累其实背靠多个领域来运作,历时性地不断完成积累;耶姬则提出生活形式批判,尝试弥合社会批判理论中的功能批判范式和规范批判范式。由此,方法论成为贯穿全书的重要线索,为学界展开资本主义批判研究的新图景。总体而言,法兰克福学派女性学者在资本主义的批判工作上已形成独特且重要的学术贡献。

吴闿生说杜与桐城派杜诗学在民国时期的传衍——以《古今诗范》为中心

吴闿生是清季民国时期桐城派的代表人物之一,其所编《古今诗范》选录精审,评点详赡,在桐城派诗歌选本系列中尤具典型性。是选选评杜诗细密周全,涉及五七言古律诸体,所评涵括杜诗性情论、笔法论、章法论、风格论诸多方面:推崇阐扬杜诗流露之至性至情,细致评析“生龙活虎”“凌空倒影”“穷神尽相”等杜诗用笔之法,揭橥杜甫七律连章体的体式特色,聚焦探析杜诗“沉”“雄”风格。吴氏杜诗学既继承了传统杜诗学思想的精髓,又赓续发扬了桐城派诗学的批评传统,堪为民国时期桐城派杜诗学的集成典范。

福克斯数字劳动思想生成的中介:法兰克福批判理论

福克斯数字劳动思想与马克思的相关理论之间不是直接的亲缘关系,而是经历了西方马克思主义嬗变过程,以法兰克福学派批判理论为中间环节。分析福克斯与批判理论之间的理论关系可以更精准地把握福克斯数字劳动思想的丰富内涵及其在西方马克思主义理论发展中的角色与地位。福克斯在对法兰克福批判理论进行重构的基础上,以“数字劳动是否是异化劳动—如何对数字劳动的异化状态进行微观分析—如何克服数字劳动异化状态”的逻辑理路,建立了自己的数字劳动思想,使西方马克思主义的理论发展从法兰克福的“超距”偏移中又逐渐向马克思靠拢。

利用生活情境创设培养初中物理科学思维——以“力”教学为例

随着国家“双新”“双减”政策的不断推进,教师应当如何改进原有的物理教学,才能迎接新时期的要求呢?生活情境创设教学,不仅能够使物理知识得到生动演绎,并为学生了解知识背后的逻辑关系创造了有利条件,还能将抽象的物理知识、概念、规律等可视化、具象化,很大程度上能帮助学生吸收、理解相关知识,并将课堂所学与生活案例不断结合,促进学生逐渐养成良好的物理科学思维.以“力”第一课时教学为例,分析生活情境创设在物理课堂教学中的应用过程.
