The Impact

This study explored the impact of the role of teacher-researchers on in-service teachers’ professional development, as well as the reasons behind the lack of a teacher-as-researcher ethos in schools. In the study, teachers from four Hong Kong primary schools participated in a school-university collaborative research project that promotes collaborative inquiry project-based learning (IPjBL), in which they took the dual role of the teacher and researcher. Five focus group interviews were conducted with the teachers to collect in-depth qualitative data on their experiences. The impact of this experience on teacher professionalism was examined from four dimensions: knowledge enrichment, school culture, teaching practice and curriculum design. The study provides evidence for the benefits of teacher research and sheds light on how university-school collaboration could contribute to engaging teachers in action research in their everyday classroom.

Distance Learning System

Distance learning system, as an important teaching means, demonstrates the gradual maturity and penetration of technology in the teaching practice of disciplines. This paper proposes an application of distance learning for an e-commerce curriculum. First, this paper forwards the implication of distance learning system and its superiority, and further the system based on the SNS social interaction mode to address the limitations of existing distance learning systems by the advantages of the SNS social interaction mode. Second, the distance learning system is applied for an e-commerce curriculum. In accordance with the requirements of an e-commerce curriculum, the distance learning system and user frameworks are designed. The experiment adopts multiple evaluation indexes, and then utilizes the linear regression evaluation methodology for result assessment. Result shows that students in the experimental group under the distance learning system teaching mode are superior to students in the control group in terms of various indexes and comprehensive evaluation.

Given the significance of cultivating students’ autonomous learning ability, there is a need to develop an instructional model that can improve students’ awareness and behavior of autonomous learning, as well as to explore the effectiveness and optimization of this model effectively. Taking college English course as a case study, this paper constructs a blended learning mode based on SPOC, which combines advantages of online and offline teaching. 15 types of nonredundant sets resulting from 500 questionnaires has been explored, and the optimal factor combinations have been found out from 15 types with the technology of data mining to optimize the mode constructed previously. Optimized blended learning mode, emphasizing the optimal factors more, has been applied to College English curriculum design and teaching practice in China. Surveys of students’ achievement and autonomous learning behavior have been conducted after experiment. The results of the research indicate that the optimized blended learning mode will stimulate foreign language learners’ learning motivation, cultivate their autonomous learning ability, so as to construct and improve their autonomous learning behavior further.

African Context

This paper discusses the pedagogical responses of the Wits University Cultural Policy and Management Department to the needs of our students in the postcolonial context of South Africa. It reviews the challenges experienced by our postgraduate students and the resultant innovations in both curriculum design and learning and teaching practice. While in many respects the drivers for this programme are similar to those in the Global North, the key challenges posed by our location on the African continent and indeed made prominent more recently in the #FeesMustFall movement are that the concepts, theories and case studies we draw from are specific to and rooted in the African context and reality. Preparing students for work as managers in cultural organisations has increasingly given way to engaging as activists and strategists with the policy environment for the cultural economy and to thinking strategically about the intersection between culture, creativity and the economy.

Analog Electronics

Curriculum design is the key to teaching practice in analog electronics design, the curriculum design of analog electronics technology is a follow-up course who after completing the analog electronics. Through the steps of the design, welding, commissioning, and eventually completed the course requirements of the physical works. The design of analog electronic courses can let students understand the design process of an electronic works which for the tops of design, drawing, welding, assembling, testing, etc. Greatly improve the students’ practical ability. On the other hand, by the application of theoretical knowledge, students can also greatly improve the theory and solve practical problems. The ability to learn lots of knowledge can not be learned from textbooks. But at the same time, in curriculum design, will also facing unexpected contradictions, these contradictions show the contradiction between the analog electronics course design and quality control. Therefore, in order to solve the problems in the design of analog electronics courses, improve the quality of students who have completed their work. The curriculum design of analog electronics technology must have a strong quality control system compatible with the curriculum design.

The Comparative Study

This study aims to create a college English coursebook corpus of coursebooks widely used in universities in China to form the basis of an analysis. The comparative study based on Cunningsworth [1] coursebook evaluation theory, in view of several checklist items and the adoption of quantitative and qualitative approach, involves: vocabulary size, the coverage of vocabulary and collocations and the readability of texts. The statistics of evaluation show that there is a gap between requirements and coursebooks. It is hoped that the indices examined in this study would be of some help for English teachers to take vocabulary and collocation size and text readability into account in teaching practice and possibly for administrators to adjust curriculum design and for editors or publishers to revise existing coursebooks.

Current Paradigm

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to challenge higher education professors and institutions to consider their role and practice in light of the changing landscape of higher education. It draws attention to the substantial changes taking place in society due to the technological and related knowledge revolution and questions the value of the current paradigm of educational practice. Design/methodology/approach – This conceptual paper utilises a sociological lens to explore the future of higher education learning and teaching. It draws on a range of literature to focus on the concepts of mobile education and mobile knowledge and explores these concepts in relation to the role and function of the professor and the university and the implication for pedagogy, curriculum design and teaching practice. Findings – While changes in higher education are taking place, they are largely within the current paradigm. With knowledge freely available via technology, the university is no longer the primary holder of knowledge and students are less likely to engage in content delivery styles of education. It is time therefore to consider the shape of education in a new mobile knowledge paradigm. Originality/value – This paper draws on a range of existing literature from several fields to highlight the need for a new paradigm in higher education pedagogy.
