试论合作式教学模式对医学英语教学的作用

语言教师和专业教师跨学科协作合作教学的教学模式将是当今专门用途教学改革的一条重要出路,也是专门用途教师培训的重要途径之一.而这种基于合作的教学方式由于种种实际原因,并未能广泛地运用于像医学英语这样需要跨学科合作的学科教学科研中.本文将以〈医学英语文献阅读〉课程的共同教学改革实践为例,初步探讨合作式教学对于医学英语类课程教学的作用和意义.

Effectiveness of a Co-Taught Handwriting Program For First Grade Students

ABSTRACT

Our study examined the effects of Write Start, a classroom-embedded handwriting/writing program on handwriting and writing fluency for first grade students, co-taught by occupational therapists and teachers. Two first grade classrooms received the Write Start and two received standard handwriting instruction. This co-taught program included specific feedback during handwriting practice, small group activities, student self-evaluation, and peer supports. The students were evaluated on handwriting legibility, fluency, and written expression at baseline, immediately after the program, and 6 months later. When performance was compared between the two groups, the students in the Write Start program improved significantly more in legibility (d = .57) and fluency (d = .75) than students who received standard instruction. Gains in handwriting speed (d = .18), average legibility (d = .26), and written expression (d = .25) did not differ significantly between the two groups. A co-taught, inclusive handwriting/writing program can promote first grade students’ achievement of lower case legibility and writing fluency.     

Using co-teaching as a means of facilitating interprofessional collaboration in health and social care

In this paper we report the findings of a collaborative enquiry on our experience as tutors co-teaching interprofessional collaboration to a multidisciplinary group of undergraduates. We have different professional/academic backgrounds and the student group included health and social work professionals alongside a number of non-professionals. Our data included our perceptions of the co-teaching experience collected by means of our reflective diaries and reflective conversations during planning and after teaching sessions. We also collected data on student perceptions elicited by means of student evaluations and a student focus group discussion. The data illuminate the process of using co-teaching to role model shared learning and collaborative working within the classroom and highlight the importance of carefully planning co-teaching interaction, including the use of humour, tension, different knowledge bases and styles of debate. The deliberate use of the interactions made possible by co-teaching enabled us to create an active learning environment that facilitated the teaching of collaboration. Drawing on our experience, we discuss the considerable potential of using co-teaching to role model collaborative working for multidisciplinary student groups.
