中美数学思维观的比较研究

中美两国数学教育界对学生数学思维的发展都非常重视。我国学者从形象思维、抽象思维、直觉思维等角度对之进行研究和探索;美国学者从儿童生活实际出发,认为学生数学思维包括：匹配与区分、分类、排序、顺序、建模。在论述思维发展时,都结合学生的实际,以案例的方式进行描述。两国在研究的逻辑方法上存在显著差异。我国研究体现出从一般到特殊的特点,而美国的研究则体现出从特殊到一般的特点。比较两国的研究,吸取各自所长,有利于促进我国基础教育数学课程改革的健康发展。

洗钱罪立法完善--与《联合国打击跨国有组织犯罪公约》的衔接

《联合国打击跨国有组织犯罪公约》于2003年10月23日对中国生效,其中第6条、第7条两个条文分别规定了“洗钱行为的刑事定罪”和“打击洗钱活动的措施”,我国刑法立法中洗钱罪规定应从上游犯罪范围、客体、客观方面、主体、主观方面等做好与公约的衔接,以改变我国目前洗钱犯罪日益严重却很少能够打击的现状。     

基于16位单片机的应用实践教学探讨

高等教育与行业脱节严重阻碍着国家战略发展规划。随着工程教育改革的推进,作为对人才培养起承上启下关键作用的单片机课程建设亟待革新。本文以MSP430系列单片机为切入点,对基于16位单片机的应用实践课程进行研究探讨,坚持以人为本,以学生为教学主体的原则,有针对性地组织教学内容、革新教学方式方法和教学考核等几大主要环节进行探索,调动学生的主观能动性,使学生真正成为学习的主体,通过分析教学效果,发现此次课程教改起到了一定的积极促进作用。

认识拉德克利夫—布朗——以《社会人类学方法》为例

拉德克利夫-布朗是人类学功能学派的代表人物之一。在解读《社会人类学方法》的基础上,本文梳理出布朗为寻求"社会的自然法则"而提倡比较的方法、归纳的方法和共时性方法。此外,提醒关注布朗对"田野工作"的真知卓见与审视对布朗的批评。     

Application of the Levenshtein Distance Metric for the Construction of Longitudinal Data Files

The analysis of longitudinal data in education is becoming more prevalent given the nature of testing systems constructed for No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). However, constructing the longitudinal data files remains a significant challenge. Students move into new schools, but in many cases the unique identifiers (ID) that should remain constant for each student change. As a result, different students frequently share the same ID, and merging records for an ID that is erroneously assigned to different students clearly becomes problematic. In small data sets, quality assurance of the merge can proceed through human reviews of the data to ensure all merged records are properly joined. However, in data sets with hundreds of thousands of cases, quality assurance via human review is impossible. While the record linkage literature has many applications in other disciplines, the educational measurement literature lacks details of formal protocols that can be used for quality assurance procedures for longitudinal data files. This article presents an empirical quality assurance procedure that may be used to verify the integrity of the merges performed for longitudinal analysis. We also discuss possible extensions that would permit merges to occur even when unique identifiers are not available.     

The Byzantines and Saladin: Some Further Arguments

This is the second of two articles by the same author arguing against the thesis that there was a conspiracy between the Byzantine emperors and Saladin, sultan of Egypt and Syria, against the crusader states and the Third Crusade in the 1180s. While the focus of the first article was primarily on the Latin sources, the present study shifts the focus to the Arabic primary material, hitherto largely neglected or inadequately treated by modern historians. Through a critical re-examination and re-interpretation of the Arabic sources, backed by the introduction and discussion of new Latin material when necessary, this article presents expanded arguments on the relations between the Byzantine Empire, the Sultanate of Konya and Saladin in the 1180s. The conclusions lend further support to the view that the Byzantine rulers and Saladin never concluded an alliance against the Latin settlers of Outremer and the Third Crusade.     

The De Kretser case: a note on Sri Lankan writing in English

Abstract

How is the content of a literary canon, or tradition to be configured? What counts as a literary archive? More than 25 years after Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978 Said, W. Edward. 1978. Orientalism, New York: Vintage.  [Google Scholar]), it seems reasonable to assume, that central to such traditions, would be the work of those who live and work in the society that gives rise to it. In this review, such a location of Michele de Kretser’s new novel, The Hamilton Case, is offered, as a caution to metropolitan literary critics who continue to approach Sri Lankan writing in English, as Christopher Columbus approached ‘America’. It is argued that the novel owes much to, and can be read as echoing and elaborating the detective fiction of S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, who was, also, the fourth Prime Minister of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), 1956–59.
