The types of teachers’ written feedback and their effects have been the focuses of researches on feedback in EFL writing.

However, the supplementary roles of peer feedback and electronic feedback are well recognized; form-focused feedback combined with content-focused feedback is popular with the students; the demand for the degree of feedback directness and feedback comments varies with the level of students. Compared to the past, recent domestic researches on teachers’ feedback are more various in research methods, more diversified in research perspectives and extended more in research content. Future domestic research on teachers’ feedback needs to make efforts on designing the experiment, expanding the feedback content, combining different feedback types and broadening research perspectives in order to further verify the effectiveness of teachers’ written feedback.

疗愈写作:抵御创伤的文学实践

中国文学研究对创伤理论的场外征用有着深刻的现实关怀意味,与此同时,创伤理论仍然存在着一定的“个体缺失”和“实践缺失”。对此,疗愈写作携创意写作关注个体、祛魅创作的学科意识,作为一种指向个体的实践回应即时出场。20世纪以来,以精神分析为代表的心理学说的诞生、西方频发的系列战争以及心理咨询中写作治疗的发展,为疗愈写作的登场提供了不可或缺的理论支撑、实践雏形和专业化的应用情境。对疗愈写作进行本质性的追问后发现,它与传统的文学四要素存在着极大不同。新的四要素“作者”“疗愈师”“世界”以及“文本/作品”构成疗愈写作在作者主体身份、“作者—疗愈师”的主体间性、受疗内容、情境与文本二者的特殊性和公开化四个方面的重要议题。

试论经典说明文的教育策略

经典说明文,指的是以解说实物、知悉风景、讲明事理等为特定对象来了解客观实情、分析因果关系、揭示内在规律的一种文体。这种文体不但具有阐释的客观性,而且具有探寻的精准性和行文的平实性。因而要求施教者必须以文章学为统领,引导受教者既要把握经典说明文的实物性、景观性、事理性等基本类型,又要把握其纵向式、横向式、交错式等大体结构,还要把握说明、叙述、描写等表达技巧,更要把握其周到严密、简明扼要、通俗易懂等出色语言。只有这样,才能促使他们成为“求真”“向善”“崇美”的创造性的人才和具有“健全的人格”,并进入“人的发展和完整性建构”的全新境域。

电子游戏使用与个体创造力的关系——基于实证研究的分析

电子游戏使用与个体创造力之间的关系已经引起了学界的关注。日常情境下的电子游戏使用对创造力的影响尚不明确,已有研究在结论上存在分歧,而教学情境下电子游戏对创造力的促进作用则得到了较为充分的研究支持。此外,已有研究也初步探讨了电子游戏对创造力的影响机制,揭示了认知、情绪、动机三方面的因素在电子游戏使用和个体创造力之间的中介作用。从当前研究的成果中可发现,沙盒、解谜和模拟经营这3类电子游戏可以有效促进创造力。未来的研究应对电子游戏相关变量进行更系统准确的操作性定义和测量,重视对电子游戏过程的分析,在此基础上进一步探究其他类型的电子游戏对创造力的作用及其机制,并开发促进创造力的支持工具或教育类电子游戏。
