In 2001, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities partnered with the China Center for International Educational Exchange to offer dual-degree programs in which students earn degrees from “two or more partner institutions in different countries” (Helms, 2014, p. 6). These programs are also described as 1+2+1 or 2+2 programs, which refer to the years students spend in their home and host countries. Since their inception, approximately 4,000 Chinese students have earned degrees through these programs (American Association of State Colleges and Universities, 2020). While dual-degree programs promote globalization and increase opportunities for institutions, faculty, and students, challenges arise due to differences in courses, language, and culture as well as in methodologies relating to teaching, grading, and evaluation (Helms, 2014). One frequently mentioned challenge for dual-degree seekers is demonstrating critical thinking skills in their written work in American university classrooms. Upon entry to the U.S. partner institution, learners either test into an Intensive English Program, where they focus exclusively on developing English language skills, or matriculate directly into their program of study, bypassing most general education courses focused on developing critical thinking skills.
2001年,美国州立大学协会与中国国际教育交流中心合作,提供双学位课程,学生可以从“不同国家的两个或两个以上合作机构”获得学位(Helms, 2014年,第6页)。这些课程也被称为1+2+1或2+2课程,指的是学生在本国和东道国度过的时间。自成立以来,大约有4000名中国学生通过这些项目获得了学位(美国州立大学协会,2020年)。虽然双学位课程促进了全球化,增加了机构、教师和学生的机会,但由于课程、语言和文化以及与教学、评分和评估相关的方法的差异,挑战也随之出现(Helms, 2014)。对于双学位申请者来说,一个经常被提及的挑战是如何在美国大学课堂上的书面作业中展示批判性思维技能。在进入美国合作机构后,学习者要么通过测试进入强化英语课程,在那里他们专注于发展英语语言技能,要么直接进入他们的学习计划,绕过大多数以培养批判性思维技能为重点的普通教育课程。

Shaping Informed Contributors to Participatory Culture: Research-Based Writing Across the Curriculum in an American International School in China 塑造参与式文化的知情贡献者:在中国的美国国际学校的课程研究为基础的写作

In an era of mass-marketed misinformation, research-based writing across the curriculum (WAC) is needed in secondary education. High school students are able not just to access information easily online but to contribute to what is known as participatory culture: the culture of actively engaging via online platforms. Students can make contributions that are meaningful by learning how to research information in a variety of academic subject areas through the use of critical thinking—the ability to evaluate an issue and form a judgement about it—and then being able to communicate that research. Teaching students how to identify credible sources of information and how to avoid plagiarism, as they apply their research to real-world issues, will prepare them to engage in participatory culture with knowledge and integrity, mitigating the spread of misinformation through online platforms. This report describes a grade-12 interdisciplinary project in which students partook in environmental research through the lens of rhetoric (AP Language and Composition), statistics (AP Statistics), environmental studies (AP Environmental Science), and politics (Accelerated Comparative Government and Politics). The project included an imaginary political scenario, in which students roleplayed as fictional candidates, from various points along the American political spectrum, campaigning on social media and debating, with the goal of being elected Head of the Environmental Protection Agency. This project was undertaken by students at an American international school in Ningbo, China and may be applicable in various ways to courses in Western secondary institutions, especially given that participatory culture is a global phenomenon. The school consists primarily of Chinese students who have an interest in attending Western high schools and/or universities but also includes the children of expatriates from Canada, Brazil, America, Korea, Sudan, and Sweden. The school has an English First policy that requires students to speak English (unless a translation is absolutely needed) and to possess a certain level of English proficiency in order to attend literature and composition courses. Students without the required level of proficiency take an English Language Learner (ELL) course as an elective. The school uses AERO (American Education Reaches Out) standards, also known as Common Core Plus standards, and offers Advanced Placement courses audited through the College Board.
在一个充斥着大量错误信息的时代,中学教育需要基于研究的课程写作(WAC)。高中生不仅可以在网上方便地获取信息,还可以为所谓的参与式文化做出贡献:通过在线平台积极参与的文化。学生可以通过学习如何通过使用批判性思维(评估问题并形成判断的能力)来研究各种学术学科领域的信息,然后能够交流研究成果,从而做出有意义的贡献。教学生如何识别可靠的信息来源以及如何避免抄袭,因为他们将自己的研究应用于现实世界的问题,将使他们准备好参与知识和诚信的参与式文化,减少通过在线平台传播错误信息。本报告描述了一个12年级的跨学科项目,在这个项目中,学生们通过修辞学(AP语言与写作)、统计学(AP统计学)、环境学(AP环境科学)和政治学(加速比较政府与政治学)的视角参与了环境研究。该项目包括一个虚构的政治场景,在这个场景中,学生们扮演虚构的候选人,他们来自美国政治光谱的各个方面,在社交媒体上进行竞选和辩论,目标是当选为美国环境保护局局长。这个项目是由中国宁波的一所美国国际学校的学生进行的,它可能以各种方式适用于西方中学的课程,特别是考虑到参与式文化是一种全球现象。学校主要由有兴趣进入西方高中和/或大学的中国学生组成,但也包括来自加拿大,巴西,美国,韩国,苏丹和瑞典的外籍人士的子女。学校有一个英语优先的政策,要求学生说英语(除非绝对需要翻译),并拥有一定水平的英语熟练程度,以便参加文学和写作课程。没有达到要求水平的学生选修英语语言学习者(ELL)课程。学校采用AERO (American Education Reaches Out)标准,也被称为Common Core Plus标准,并提供通过大学理事会审核的大学先修课程。

Responding to recent articles on Critical Language Awareness (CLA), this essay considers local linguistic environments alongside attributes of moral philosophy from Adam Smith, humanist scholar and rhetorician. I introduce the term “contextual rhetorical propriety” to describe the significance of rhetors’ local contexts and circumstances, arguing that our field’s top-down emphases on translingual and antiracist pedagogies are eliding important considerations of propriety. I then recommend, as a pedagogical solution, the use of Smith’s Impartial Spectator as a critical interlocutor to help writers employ the appropriate blend of propriety and persuasion for their audiences.
针对最近关于批判性语言意识(CLA)的文章,本文将当地的语言环境与人文主义学者和修辞学家亚当·斯密的道德哲学属性相结合。我引入了“语境修辞得体”一词来描述修辞学家的当地语境和环境的重要性,认为我们的领域自上而下地强调翻译和反种族主义教学法,忽略了得体的重要考虑。然后,我建议,作为一种教学解决方案,使用史密斯的《公正的旁观者》作为关键的对话者,帮助作家适当地将得体和说服结合起来。

The year 2020 introduced the world to the pandemic that is COVID-19. As of October 6, 2020, there were in the United States alone 7,436,278 total cases, with 209,560 deaths (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2020). This number of positive cases had skyrocketed from under 1,000 in March, making this pandemic unlike any encountered in the past (CDC, 2020). Due to the severity of COVID-19, the United States, along with most of the world, shut down all non-essential public spaces early on in the pandemic. With that, colleges and universities moved to an online model for the end of the Spring 2020 semester, with many schools utilizing either remote or hybrid classes for their Summer and Fall 2020 sessions. These changes have been challenging, as faculty and students have transitioned to teaching and learning in a time of constant anxiety. As a PhD student in the Composition and Applied Linguistics program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I am writing this note from the perspective of both a student in the last semester of her coursework and a teacher of first-year composition before the pandemic as well as during the Fall 2020 semester. From this dual perspective, I will reflect on how the changes that have occurred due to COVID-19 can help educators consider empathy in conjunction with critical thinking.
2020年向世界介绍了COVID-19大流行病。截至2020年10月6日,仅美国就有7436278例病例,209560例死亡(美国疾病控制与预防中心,2020年)。这一阳性病例数从3月份的不到1000例飙升,使这次大流行不同于过去遇到的任何一次(CDC, 2020年)。由于COVID-19的严重程度,美国和世界上大多数国家在大流行初期关闭了所有非必要的公共场所。因此,学院和大学在2020年春季学期结束时转向了在线模式,许多学校在2020年夏季和秋季课程中使用远程或混合课程。这些变化是具有挑战性的,因为教师和学生已经在一个持续焦虑的时代过渡到教学和学习。作为宾夕法尼亚印第安纳大学写作与应用语言学专业的一名博士生,我以一名最后一学期的学生和一名在疫情前以及2020年秋季学期教一年级作文的老师的角度写这篇文章。从这一双重视角出发,我将思考COVID-19带来的变化如何帮助教育工作者将同理心与批判性思维结合起来。

Introduction Assigning out-of-class readings and reflections in my undergraduate rhetoric and composition courses was often one of the more challenging aspects of my curriculum design. Throughout any semester, I was sure to provide students with prompts to reflect, between classes, on their writing processes, but my students often submitted mechanical, voiceless, summarized thoughts on readings and their experiences writing. To me, it appeared that the majority of them viewed these out-of-class assignments as tasks to complete as quickly as possible without pushing themselves to think critically. Csikszentmihalyi (1996/2013) noted that people are “born with two contradictory sets of instructions: a conservative tendency, made up of instincts for self-preservation, self-aggrandizement, and saving energy, and an expansive tendency made up of instincts for exploring, for enjoying novelty and risk—the curiosity” (p. 11). While the first tendency requires few outside influences to motivate behavior, “the second can wilt if it is not cultivated” (p. 11). My out-of-class assignments seemed to encourage students to conserve energy for activities other than critical thinking; thus, I knew something needed to change.
在我的本科修辞学和写作课程中布置课外阅读和思考通常是我课程设计中更具挑战性的方面之一。在每一个学期,我都会在课间给学生提示,让他们反思自己的写作过程,但我的学生经常提交机械的、无声的、总结的关于阅读和写作经历的想法。在我看来,他们中的大多数人似乎把这些课外作业看作是要尽快完成的任务,而不要求自己进行批判性思考。Csikszentmihalyi(1996/2013)指出,人们“天生就有两套相互矛盾的指令:一种是保守倾向,由自我保护、自我膨胀和节省能量的本能组成,另一种是扩张倾向,由探索、享受新奇和冒险的本能组成——好奇心”(第11页)。虽然第一种倾向很少需要外界的影响来激励行为,但“第二种倾向如果不加以培养就会枯萎”(第11页)。我的课外作业似乎鼓励学生节省精力从事批判性思维以外的活动;因此,我知道有些事情需要改变。

Analysis of Peer Review in a Student-Run Scientific Journal 学生办科学期刊的同行评议分析
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.37514/dbh-j.2022.10.1.04

Faculty believe that science students should learn a range of critical thinking skills, including interpreting data, designing an experiment, communicating results, and reading and evaluating published research (Coil et al., 2010). Students learn these skills from classroom, lab, and extracurricular experiences as well as from undergraduate research, which allows them to work in collaborative environments towards common objectives (Hunter et al., 2007). Optimally, this research enables students to work as “scientists in training” (Gonyo & Cantwell, 2014), collaborating with their peers and mentors on an authentic project of situated learning, and it is important for this learning to include writing and reviewing research (Hunter et al., 2007). While critical thinking can mean different things across disciplines in terms of writing (e.g., Rademaekers, 2018), in the sciences, it includes evaluating the claims of other scientific literature, which occurs when scientists read or peer review (Rademaekers, 2018). Peer review is, in itself, a critical thinking activity in the sciences, as it has the potential to help students learn about the process of scientific writing and publishing while evaluating the literature (Trautmann, 2009). To this end, lab mentors can include students in the writing and publication process to give them a space to think critically about research. While undergraduate research experiences can provide opportunities to read, write, and peer review in the sciences, research positions may not be accessible to or even desired by all students. Other activities have the potential to drive similar skills to supplement or replace undergraduate research, such as student journals. These journals can immerse students in the process of writing, reviewing, and publishing. However, the pedagogical research on what students learn through these journals is lacking, especially with respect to peer review. In this study, we characterize the peer review comments from undergraduate and graduate students for a student-run scientific journal. We also explore why these students donate their time to peer review as an extracurricular activity. In the following introduction, we review STEM student journals as well as research on peer review relevant to our goals. Our overarching aim is to report on how students peer review in a professional context. Therefore, we contextualize our Peer Reviewers in terms of student and expert peer review, particularly in STEM, and the themes in our data set. On a spectrum of expertise, we speculate that our students might align themselves more with expert than novice peer reviewers because they volunteer for this authentic role.
教师认为理科生应该学习一系列批判性思维技能,包括解释数据、设计实验、交流结果、阅读和评估已发表的研究成果(Coil et al., 2010)。学生从课堂、实验室和课外经历以及本科研究中学习这些技能,这使他们能够在协作环境中朝着共同目标工作(Hunter et al., 2007)。最理想的是,这项研究使学生成为“训练中的科学家”(Gonyo & Cantwell, 2014),与他们的同龄人和导师合作,完成一个真实的情境学习项目,这种学习包括写作和回顾研究(Hunter et al., 2007)很重要。虽然批判性思维在不同学科的写作中可能意味着不同的东西(例如,Rademaekers, 2018),但在科学领域,它包括评估其他科学文献的主张,这发生在科学家阅读或同行评审时(Rademaekers, 2018)。同行评议本身就是科学领域的一种批判性思维活动,因为它有可能帮助学生在评估文献的同时了解科学写作和出版的过程(Trautmann, 2009)。为此,实验室导师可以让学生参与写作和发表过程,给他们一个批判性思考研究的空间。虽然本科研究经历可以提供阅读、写作和同行评议的机会,但研究职位可能不是所有学生都能获得的,甚至不是所有学生都想要的。其他活动有可能推动类似的技能,以补充或取代本科研究,如学生期刊。这些期刊可以让学生沉浸在写作、评审和出版的过程中。然而,关于学生通过这些期刊学到什么的教学研究是缺乏的,特别是在同行评审方面。在本研究中,我们描述了本科生和研究生对学生经营的科学期刊的同行评议意见。我们还探讨了为什么这些学生把时间花在同行评议上作为课外活动。在以下介绍中,我们回顾了STEM学生期刊以及与我们目标相关的同行评审研究。我们的首要目标是报告学生如何在专业背景下进行同行评议。因此,我们根据学生和专家同行评议,特别是在STEM领域,以及我们数据集中的主题,将我们的同行评议者置于背景中。在专业知识的范围内,我们推测我们的学生可能会更多地与专家而不是新手同行评议者结盟,因为他们自愿扮演这个真实的角色。

Optimally, this research enables students to work as “scientists in training” (Gonyo & Cantwell, 2014), collaborating with their peers and mentors on an authentic project of situated learning, and it is important for this learning to include writing and reviewing research (Hunter et al., 2007). While critical thinking can mean different things across disciplines in terms of writing (e.g., Rademaekers, 2018), in the sciences, it includes evaluating the claims of other scientific literature, which occurs when scientists read or peer review (Rademaekers, 2018). Peer review is, in itself, a critical thinking activity in the sciences, as it has the potential to help students learn about the process of scientific writing and publishing while evaluating the literature (Trautmann, 2009). To this end, lab mentors can include students in the writing and publication process to give them a space to think critically about research. While undergraduate research experiences can provide opportunities to read, write, and peer review in the sciences, research positions may not be accessible to or even desired by all students. Other activities have the potential to drive similar skills to supplement or replace undergraduate research, such as student journals. These journals can immerse students in the process of writing, reviewing, and publishing. However, the pedagogical research on what students learn through these journals is lacking, especially with respect to peer review. In this study, we characterize the peer review comments from undergraduate and graduate students for a student-run scientific journal. We also explore why these students donate their time to peer review as an extracurricular activity. In the following introduction, we review STEM student journals as well as research on peer review relevant to our goals. Our overarching aim is to report on how students peer review in a professional context. Therefore, we contextualize our Peer Reviewers in terms of student and expert peer review, particularly in STEM, and the themes in our data set. On a spectrum of expertise, we speculate that our students might align themselves more with expert than novice peer reviewers because they volunteer for this authentic role.","PeriodicalId":404723,"journal":{"name":"Double Helix: A Journal of Critical Thinking and Writing","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114326908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

[since] education in the critical faculty is the only education of which it can truly be said that it makes good citizens. (pp. 632, 633)
教育和训练的产物它是一种精神习惯和力量……这是我们唯一的保证,防止妄想、欺骗、迷信和对我们自己和我们的世俗环境的误解……在这方面受过教育的人是不会被吓倒的……(因为)批判能力的教育是唯一能够真正说能造就好公民的教育。(第632、633页)
