Abstract

Picture this: Elizabeth, a seventh-grader complete with technicolor nails and braces on her teeth, twirls her hair and tries to look attentive. Her teacher, Mr. Bogel, is waxing poetic about the marvels of the West Indies. In theory, Elizabeth is taking careful notes, recording Mr. Bogel's lecture. In practice, Elizabeth is compiling a list of cosmetic products that are prerequisites for the spring dance. Somewhere on the edge of her consciousness Elizabeth hears, " ... chapter 13 on next Tuesday's quiz." Elizabeth is fully aware that receiving poor grades in social studies results in mall restrictions. Somewhat reluctantly, Elizabeth leaves the world of makeup and trods page by page through the chapter to discover the wonders of Central America as defined by the Chapter Review on page 120. To find the answers to the chapter questions, Elizabeth reads line by painful line. Too bad that she doesn't know how to use section headings to locate information-an activity that takes most kids 30 minutes takes a whopping 4 hours for Elizabeth. No wonder she hates social studies. In the next room, Jorge has just finished placing the final sugar cube on top of the Great Pyramid. Last week he mummified a comish game hen, and next week he is going to finish writing a play about ancient Egypt. His part is that of a pharaoh called Ramses who meets aliens from outer space. Jorge is not quite sure who Ramses is or even if Egypt exists, but he is thrilled that his mother made him a costume decorated with gold and jewels. Jorge also is happy because his teacher, Ms. Goodwind, likes arts and crafts projects and doesn't like textbooks or tests. No written records of Jorge's progress in social studies will ever be unearthed. ·
社会学教学策略。
想象一下:伊丽莎白是一名七年级学生,她的牙齿上戴着彩色指甲和牙套,她捻着头发,努力看起来很专注。她的老师博格尔先生对西印度群岛的奇迹充满了诗意。理论上,伊丽莎白正在认真地做笔记,记录博格尔先生的演讲。实际上,伊丽莎白正在编制一份春季舞会必备化妆品清单。伊丽莎白在意识的边缘听到,“…下周二测验的第13章。”伊丽莎白完全意识到,在社会研究中成绩不佳会导致商场受到限制。伊丽莎白有些不情愿地离开了化妆界,一页接一页地翻阅这一章,发现了120页《章节评论》所定义的中美洲奇观。为了找到章节问题的答案,伊丽莎白逐行苦读。遗憾的是,她不知道如何使用章节标题来定位信息——这项花费大多数孩子30分钟的活动对伊丽莎白来说要花费4个小时。难怪她讨厌社会研究。在隔壁房间里,Jorge刚刚把最后一块方糖放在大金字塔的顶部。上周,他制作了一只滑稽的游戏母鸡的木乃伊,下周他将完成一部关于古埃及的戏剧。他的角色是一位名叫拉姆西斯的法老,他遇到了来自外太空的外星人。豪尔赫不太确定拉姆西斯是谁,甚至不确定埃及是否存在,但他很高兴他的母亲为他做了一件用黄金和珠宝装饰的服装。Jorge也很高兴,因为他的老师Goodwind女士喜欢艺术和手工艺项目,不喜欢课本或考试。关于Jorge在社会研究方面的进展,没有任何书面记录会被发掘出来·
