Abstract This paper explores how the blended use of a virtual learning environment (VLE) can impact on student learning in a specific module within a small university in the UK. Students studying a module about crisis situations faced by children in different parts of the world were asked to contribute to online forums as part of their learning. Forty-seven students participated in the study. Student questionnaires, Moodle reports and student assessment grades were analysed to explore the benefits of online forums. In line with previous research, online forums were found to be popular with students and multiple perceived benefits were identified, such as flexibility, greater sense of community and enhanced higher learning skills. Analysis of student assessment grades suggests that online forums may also enhance student performance. However, a larger scale longitudinal study is necessary to determine this more clearly. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of viewing VLEs as a communication, collaboration and knowledge focused medium with the potential to enhance higher learning skills through the use of interactive online activities such as forums.
摘要:本文探讨了虚拟学习环境(VLE)的混合使用如何影响英国一所小型大学中特定模块的学生学习。学生们学习了一个关于世界不同地区儿童所面临的危机情况的模块,并被要求在在线论坛上发表文章,作为学习的一部分。47名学生参加了这项研究。学生调查问卷、Moodle报告和学生评估成绩进行了分析,以探索在线论坛的好处。与之前的研究一致,在线论坛被发现在学生中很受欢迎,并且被认为有多种好处,比如灵活性、更强的社区意识和更高的学习技能。对学生评估成绩的分析表明,在线论坛也可以提高学生的表现。然而,需要更大规模的纵向研究来更清楚地确定这一点。总体而言,研究结果强调了将视频平台视为一种沟通、协作和以知识为中心的媒介的重要性,通过使用论坛等互动在线活动,视频平台有可能提高更高的学习技能。

Abstract This paper outlines a classroom activity to help students engage in research methods and lessen anxiety and apprehension commonly associated with research methods courses. The described class activity offers students a shared research experience to promote the skills necessary to understand, conduct and translate research into ethical social science practice. The activity was conducted in a graduate social work programme but is applicable across the social sciences. Content covered includes sampling, research design, ethical considerations, brief evaluation and helping students think critically about ways to improve research methods in order to facilitate competencies necessary for evidence-based practice (EBP). An introduction to the activity, class discussion points including integration throughout the course, and implications for curricula and practice are discussed.

“It Needs to be Better than Face-to-Face”: Introducing Elluminate into a Social Sciences Distance Learning Programme “它需要比面对面更好”:将illumination引入社会科学远程学习计划

Abstract Online synchronous tuition has the potential to enhance the study experience of students who cannot attend face-to-face tutorials, or where there are no face-to-face tutorials available. This could be particularly beneficial for students of online and distance institutions, such as the Open University, who may otherwise feel disconnected from the study experience. One such synchronous technology, Elluminate, has been introduced in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Open University over the last few years, with feedback suggesting that the students who take part have a very positive experience. This paper explores the views of students and tutors from the Faculty of Social Sciences, Open University, about Elluminate, concluding that Elluminate tutorials are not better, nor worse, than face-to-face-tutorials – they are simply different. By setting up one method of teaching as a gold standard, all be it a standard with very little evidence supporting it, the debate is reduced to “can online learning do what face-to-face learning does, to the detriment of students and their teachers?” We note that feedback from students and tutors suggests a reluctance to embrace new technology among tutors that is not mirrored by students. While some tutors may not be comfortable with technological innovation, we argue that sensitive and subject-driven training can increase both the confidence and perception of tutors.
在线同步教学有潜力提高学生的学习经验,谁不能参加面对面的教程,或没有面对面的教程可用。这对在线和远程教育机构(如开放大学)的学生尤其有益,否则他们可能会感到与学习体验脱节。过去几年,英国开放大学(Open University)社会科学学院引进了一种名为“发光”(lumininate)的同步技术,反馈表明,参与这项技术的学生获得了非常积极的体验。本文探讨了开放大学社会科学学院的学生和导师对课堂教学的看法,得出结论:课堂教学并不比面对面教学更好,也不差——它们只是不同而已。通过建立一种教学方法作为黄金标准,尽管它是一个几乎没有证据支持的标准,辩论就变成了“在线学习能做到面对面学习所能做到的,对学生和老师不利吗?”我们注意到,来自学生和导师的反馈表明,导师不愿接受新技术,而学生却没有反映出这一点。虽然有些导师可能对技术创新感到不舒服,但我们认为敏感和主题驱动的培训可以增加导师的信心和感知。

The Changing Face of Undergraduate Assessment in UK Sociology 英国社会学本科评估的变化
Pub Date : 2013-12-01 DOI: 10.11120/ELSS.2013.00015
E. Harrison, R. Mears
Abstract This paper reports on a project following up previous work about patterns of and attitudes to assessment among sociologists. Two forms of data collection were undertaken: an online questionnaire to sociology departments and a series of focus groups with undergraduate students. The results showed that assessment has become a more salient issue than ten years ago, but that most of the innovations in practice had taken place in post-1992 institutions. The focus group findings confirm those from national satisfaction surveys; namely that student dissatisfaction with assessment is profound and that it persists throughout their undergraduate experience.
摘要:本文报告了一个关于社会学家评估模式和态度的后续研究项目。采用了两种形式的数据收集:向社会学系发放在线问卷和对本科生进行一系列焦点小组调查。结果表明,与十年前相比,评估已成为一个更加突出的问题,但实践中的大多数创新都发生在1992年后的机构中。焦点小组的调查结果证实了全国满意度调查的结果;也就是说,学生对评估的不满是深刻的,并且在他们的本科生活中一直存在。

Abstract We explore how field-schools can be used to enhance the learning of students who are interested in studying China to augment their non-Chinese Studies undergraduate or postgraduate programmes, drawing on relevant areas of the teaching and learning literature to help structure and make sense of our reflections. In the first part we consider subject-specific knowledge and its use in developing transferable skills and enhancing employability. In the second part we reflect on our approach, with a focus on activity design and the central place of the learning diary. In the third part we discuss the role and management of affective responses to the subject and mode of learning. While we can make no specific claims beyond the study of China, we suspect that our programmes and observations may provide useful insight for specialists in other fields seeking to draw new students and programmes into their orbit as well as those seeking insights from non-traditional modes of higher education to enhance practice more generally.
摘要:我们探索如何利用实地学校来加强对研究中国感兴趣的学生的学习,以增加他们的非中国研究本科或研究生课程,利用教学和学习文献的相关领域来帮助构建和理解我们的思考。在第一部分中,我们考虑特定学科的知识及其在发展可转移技能和提高就业能力方面的应用。在第二部分,我们反思了我们的方法,重点是活动设计和学习日记的中心位置。第三部分讨论了对学习主体和学习方式的情感反应的作用和管理。虽然我们不能在中国的研究之外做出具体的声明,但我们怀疑,我们的项目和观察可能会为其他领域的专家提供有用的见解,这些专家正在寻求吸引新的学生和项目进入他们的轨道,以及那些寻求从非传统高等教育模式中获得见解的专家,以加强更广泛的实践。

Abstract The international classroom should be a place where students can gain intercultural competencies, which are increasingly important in a global economy, but there are difficulties facilitating interaction between students from different cultures. Students prefer to work in monocultural groups due to the barriers of language and understanding cultural and academic norms therefore they cannot take advantage of sharing and learning from each other’s experiences. To understand how to improve this situation, from a student perspective, a White male student from the UK was sponsored to spend a week studying in Hong Kong and to reflect on his experiences. From this it was found that the induction period was the most important for academic and social integration for all students and should focus on expectations of students, including behavioural aspects such as intercultural communication.
国际课堂应该是学生获得跨文化能力的地方,这在全球经济中越来越重要,但在促进来自不同文化的学生之间的互动方面存在困难。由于语言和理解文化和学术规范的障碍,学生更喜欢在单一文化群体中工作,因此他们无法利用分享和学习彼此的经验。为了了解如何从学生的角度改善这种情况,一位来自英国的白人男学生被资助到香港学习一周,并反思他的经历。由此发现,诱导期对于所有学生的学术和社会融合是最重要的,应该关注学生的期望,包括跨文化交际等行为方面。

Towards a Pedagogy of Public Criminology 论公共犯罪学教育学
Pub Date : 2013-06-01 DOI: 10.11120/elss.2013.00010
C. Hamilton
Abstract In light of recent debates on ‘public criminology’, this article chooses to focus on teaching as a way of reaching more publics. The various characteristics of a more public and engaged discipline are discussed and applied specifically to the teaching of criminology, including the relative merits and demerits of reorienting teaching in this way. Following on from this discussion, the article outlines some practical ways in which this vision can be realised. Given the many affinities between the Burawoyan concept of public ‘-ologies’ and the scholarship of learning and teaching, an argument is advanced for teaching as one of the first steps towards the practice of a more public criminology.
鉴于最近关于“公共犯罪学”的争论,本文选择关注教学作为接触更多公众的一种方式。本书讨论了一个更加公共和参与的学科的各种特点,并将其具体应用于犯罪学的教学,包括以这种方式重新定位教学的相对优点和缺点。根据这一讨论,本文概述了实现这一愿景的一些实际方法。鉴于Burawoyan的公共“学”概念与学与教之间的许多相似之处,有人提出,教学是迈向更公共犯罪学实践的第一步。

Using Balanced Learning Course Design to Reduce Resistance to Diversity Curricula 运用均衡学习课程设计减少对课程多样性的抵制
Pub Date : 2013-06-01 DOI: 10.11120/elss.2013.00012

Abstract Diversity content is often met with covert and overt resistance in the classroom. Utilisation of a balanced learning model may address classroom resistance. Balanced learning models require ‘backwards’ course planning, equal attention to course content and class process, and a strategic use of cyclical course design to include introduction of new materiel, experience, followed by personal reflection. Using a balanced learning model moves classroom instruction beyond active learning strategies in the classroom, but can present unique challenges for instructors. While not without challenges, utilising a balanced learning model proves useful during course design and delivery of a graduate course on diversity. The article describes balanced learning models emergence, define the benefits of such models, and ultimately demonstrate how using a balance learning model is a useful course design tool to reduce resistance to diversity content in the classroom.
摘要内容的多样性在课堂上往往会遭到或明或暗的抵制。利用平衡的学习模式可以解决课堂阻力。平衡的学习模式需要“逆向”课程规划,对课程内容和课堂过程的同等关注,以及战略性地使用周期性课程设计,包括引入新材料、体验,然后是个人反思。使用平衡的学习模式使课堂教学超越了课堂上的主动学习策略,但也给教师带来了独特的挑战。尽管并非没有挑战,但在课程设计和多样性研究生课程的交付过程中,利用平衡学习模式被证明是有用的。本文描述了平衡学习模式的出现,定义了这种模式的好处,并最终展示了如何使用平衡学习模式是一个有用的课程设计工具,以减少课堂上对多样性内容的抵制。

A Bernsteinian View of Learning and Teaching Undergraduate Sociology-based Social Science 以社会学为基础的本科社会科学教学的伯恩斯坦观
Pub Date : 2013-06-01 DOI: 10.11120/elss.2013.00009

Abstract Taking a perspective drawn from Basil Bernstein, the paper locates itself at the boundary between teaching as transmitting disciplinary knowledge and teaching as a set of generic ‘good practice’ principles. It first discusses the value of undergraduate sociology-based social science knowledge to individuals and society. This discussion leads to highlighting the importance of pedagogical framing for realising the value of sociological knowledge. A longitudinal three-year study in four different status universities suggested that studying undergraduate sociology-based degrees can give students access to what Bernstein called ‘pedagogic rights’ of personal enhancement; social inclusion; and political participation. Access to the rights is through the formation of a ‘specialised disciplinary identity’ whereby the student becomes a person who knows and understands specific content, which is applied to lives and society, and who has developed the skills and dispositions of a social scientist. In pedagogical terms more evidence of equality than inequality was found: despite some subtle differences, whatever the status of the university attended, the same disciplinary identity was projected and students’ perceptions of the quality of their teaching strongly mediated the formation of a disciplinary identity and access to pedagogic rights.
本文从巴兹尔·伯恩斯坦(Basil Bernstein)的观点出发,将自己定位于教学作为传播学科知识和教学作为一套通用的“良好实践”原则之间的边界。首先论述了基于社会学的大学生社会科学知识对个人和社会的价值。这一讨论强调了教学框架对实现社会学知识价值的重要性。在四所不同的大学进行的一项为期三年的纵向研究表明,学习以社会学为基础的本科学位可以让学生获得伯恩斯坦所说的个人提升的“教学权利”;社会包容;还有政治参与。获得这些权利是通过形成一种“专门的学科身份”,使学生成为一个知道和理解具体内容的人,这些内容应用于生活和社会,并培养了社会科学家的技能和性格。在教学方面,平等多于不平等的证据被发现:尽管存在一些微妙的差异,无论所就读的大学的地位如何,相同的学科身份被投射出来,学生对教学质量的看法强烈地调解了学科身份的形成和获得教学权利。

Abstract The Bradley Review of Australian Higher Education provided a timely reminder of the dismal performance of the nation and its higher education system in terms of the proportional representation of certain groups of Australians within the university student population. While the Australian Government has taken on the challenge of creating more university places for people from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, this article makes the case for creating spaces in higher education for marginalised Australians. Specifically, we argue that the most strategic place to begin this is with the pedagogic work of higher education, because of its positioning as a central message system in education. And it is from the centre that the greatest pedagogic authority is derived. In this paper we conceive of the pedagogic work involved in terms of belief, design and action. From these constitutive elements are derived three principles on which to build a socially inclusive pedagogy and to open up spaces for currently marginalised groups.
《澳大利亚高等教育布拉德利评论》及时提醒人们,澳大利亚及其高等教育体系在大学生群体中某些群体的比例代表方面表现不佳。虽然澳大利亚政府已经接受了为社会经济地位背景较低的人创造更多大学名额的挑战,但本文提出了为边缘化的澳大利亚人创造高等教育空间的案例。具体来说,我们认为最具战略意义的起点是高等教育的教学工作,因为它的定位是教育的中心信息系统。而最伟大的教学权威正是从这个中心产生的。在本文中,我们从信念、设计和行动三个方面来构想教学工作。从这些构成要素中衍生出三项原则,以此为基础建立一种社会包容性的教学法,并为目前被边缘化的群体开辟空间。
