关于地球科学教育发展的建议

地球科学教育要适应科学进步与建立和谐社会之需求，一是应将大气、海洋、地质、地理与生物相关的基础理论开设为必修课，继承、认知与拓宽思路；既使学生了解地球发展史，更要重视地球现代过程的研究与教学，探索未来变化趋势；重视实践教学、建立教学实习与研究基地。二是要讲授海陆过渡带——海岸海洋科学课程系列，填补陆地与海洋科学之间的断缺。三是要组织优秀地学教师轮换、巡回讲学，共享高水平教学成果。

Students＇ Withdrawal of Teacher＇s Deposited Knowledge in Teacher-Dominated Classroom Talk

Prior studies on classroom discourse research often concluded that a teacher＇s control of classroom interaction greatly affected his/her students＇ response to classroom talk. Students as academic novices are often expected to accept the teacher＇s deposited knowledge for academic achievement in traditional school contexts. Given little attention being paid to their withdrawal of teacher＇s deposited knowledge for use as meaning-negotiation, this study observes one academically-irrelevant curriculum context----one free and non-compulsory adult Chinese class offered by one local Taiwan Residents government to its foreign residents--to know whether the students＇ motivation for responding to classroom talk is still affected much by the teacher＇s dominance of classroom talk. It employs Courtney Cazden＇s I-R-E （teacher-initiation, student-response, and teacher-evaluation） classroom talk model and Paulo Freire＇s banking education metaphor as theoretical frameworks to discuss the classroom power relations reflected on the students＇ withdrawal of the teacher＇s deposited knowledge. The findings show that when the students＇ academic achievement is not the instructional objective, the teacher＇s thematic control, affects the students＇ motivation for responding more than his/her control of classroom interaction. It concludes that a classroom talk highlighting the students＇ interest activates their participation and allows the instructor to gain access to the students＇ knowledge, values, attitudes, and perceptions.
