From a feminist perspective, the study focuses on the three "worlds" of Singapore Chinese female writers: namely, the diachronic, the synchronic and the textual worlds. It comprises seven chapters.The first chapter begins with a definition of key terms and concepts in the dissertation. A brief introduction to Singapore Chinese literature in general and Singapore Chinese female literature in particular is provided in the course.

教师专业社群研究方法个案研究: 以课例研究与课堂观察工具与的结合为例
No full text教师专业发展乃当前华语文教师素质研究中的重要课题。近年来，以单堂课为研究对象的课例研究（Lesson Study）也开始被引入新加坡华语文教学中，成为目前学校教师专业发展的重要平台。课例研究起源于20 世纪60 年代的日本，是日本教师校内专业培训的质化手段，是通过教师集体协作过：备课、观课、反思来改进教学，从而促进专业社群的知识构建。笔者发现，由于课例研究在观课过程中缺乏科学性的记录与分析，因此相对依赖教师个人的洞察力，在反思讨论时，经常出现讨论流于主观论断、因个人观察点有异，讨论时难以聚焦，而导致研究效度不稳定。笔者于是借鉴起源于美国的课堂观察工具，（classroom observation）尝试提高课例研究的效度。课堂观察主要通过观察、记录和研究课堂运行状态，提取质化与量化资料来说明教师具体、深入了解课堂，从而改进教学。笔者于2012 年与两所小学合作，首次将两种方法结合，进行一次个案研究。本论文将提出两者结合之后的研究目的、步骤，并以具体的质化与量化资料来验证研究的效度。实验结果显示，结合课堂观察方法和课例研究的工具，是有效的教师专业社群研究方法，能更有效协助教师进行更聚焦、更有深度的转化学习，构建教师专业社群知识，进而促进教师专业成长
基于主题编码分析的多模态教材价值观研究:以新加坡录像说话教材为例
No full text自21世纪素养教育提出以来，价值观就备受世界各国的关注，被视为是核心素养之核心，各国纷纷提出清晰、 明确取向的价值理念，以作为落实核心素养培养系统中的首要内涵。有效传授价值观的策略很多，融入课程与教材则是最普遍的做法，尤其是通过语文教材来体现价值观。在新加坡华文教学中，除了静态的纸板教材之外，人文素养与价值观内涵也渗透入以多模态教材-录像为触媒的说话任务中，录像说话已成中小学华文评估里的重要考查模式。录像为多模态形式里最接近真实生活、最生动的语言教材，对学生思想的影响力显而易见。本研究以现代多模态说话教材为研究范围，收集40个中小学录像说话教材，以主题编码分析法为探究策略，深入分析多模态教材如何呈现价值观教育内容。研究结果显示，新加坡已形成“VSK价值观导向”的课程设计模式，而新加坡母语教学下的听说口语目标可定位为价值文化导向下的语言互动。价值观教育编码主题为价值观内容（220）、实践技能（191）、信念意识建设（140）与学习成果（235），一共969条编码。分析结果有五大发现：一、与个人价值素养相比，价值观教育更重视人际关系与社会意识培养；二、和谐的社会意识是新加坡核心价值观教育中的重中之重；尊重、关爱、负责任、正直等的伦理导向的关系管理、情绪管理与人际沟通技巧则是达成和谐社会的方法。三、“坚毅”是六大核心价值观中被忽略的缺口。四、小学阶段是价值观教育灌输的重点奠基阶段；五、录像的多模态教材呈现形式以动画视觉为主，旁白听觉点睛的互补策略进行
Evaluating teacher perceptions of the 2021 Singapore secondary school Chinese textbooks: A study using the teaching material acceptance model
No full textThis study evaluates the 2021 revision of Singapore secondary school Chinese teaching materials through an investigation of school teachers’ receptivity, utilizing a teacher-teaching material perception questionnaire and the modified Teaching Material Acceptance Model (TMAM) as the evaluative framework. The study yields four key findings. Firstly, teachers view the practicability of the new materials favorably, highlighting their quality, incorporation of information technology, diverse content, authenticity, and life-oriented approach. These features are acknowledged for enhancing student interest and improving language abilities. Secondly, the TMAM evaluation reveals that teachers’ perceptions of the revised textbooks are generally inconsistent, with a moderate to high degree of rejection towards some new sections. Thirdly, the disproportionate volume of content relative to the available class time is identified as a significant factor impacting the ease of use, indicating a need for future curriculum adjustments. Lastly, teachers prioritize ease of use over the inherent usefulness of the materials, often selectively utilizing content based on students’ needs and time constraints. This selective use may lead to wastage of curriculum resources and diminish the intended impact of the revised curriculum
新加坡中学华文一体化课文的可读性
No full text新加坡2021年版中学华文教材采用一体化设计，使五个不同程度的华文课程在同一体例下既分化又融合。文本的可读性是测量文本难易程度的方法，比较2021年版教材和2011年版教材的课文可读性，能探讨一体化设计下各课程之间的水平差异。研究发现，2021年版教材各个课程之间的水平差异有所变更，调高了高级华文和快捷华文的课文难度，拉开了快捷华文和普通学术华文之间的水平差距，将基础华文和华文B放在同一水平。研究还表明，华文二语可读性公式能简便、客观地测定华文文本的难度，是教材编写人员与教师在选择文本时，可以方便操作的实用方法，对于优化华文教学具有重要的意义。Published versio
新加坡华文教师专业社团社会功能的嬗变
No full text新加坡各大华文教师专业社团的正式建立始于二战后，在新加坡的华文教育史上扮演了重要角色。然而，随着时局变化和历史发展，新加坡的政治，经济与社会文化环境发生了巨大改变，华文教育规划与发展逐渐国家化，而各大华文教团所发挥的社会功能因此不断作出调试或改变。本文从历时角度和宏观社会学的视，遵循结构功能主义的思维路径，追华校联合会，华文中学教师会，华校教师总会等三个重要华文教团的发展史，深讨新加坡华文教团社会功能的嬗变及其面临的困境与出路
新加坡的双语双言现象和语言认同描述
