Multimedia learning and individual differences: Mediating the effects of working memory capacity with segmentation

Research in multimedia learning lacks an emphasis on individual difference variables, such as working memory capacity (WMC). The effects of WMC and the segmentation of multimedia instruction were examined by assessing the recall and application of low (n=66) and high (n=67) working memory capacity students randomly assigned to either a segmented instruction (SI) or non-segmented instruction (NSI) version of a multimedia tutorial on historical inquiry. WMC was found to have a significant, positive effect on participants' recall and application scores; however, the use of segmentation mediated the effects of WMC to allow learners with lower WMC to recall and apply equal to those with higher WMC.

Experienced teachers dealing with issues in education: a career perspective

This article reports on a qualitative study on the issues experienced teachers may encounter in everyday teaching practice. Some issues may possibly originate at the beginning of a career and continue to be a struggle during their career. Data were collected among 20 mid- and late career teachers from eight secondary schools. The results showed that at the current moment in their career, respondents of this study particularly recognised three issues: teacher–parent interaction, teaching versus other tasks and private life versus work. Teachers seldom talk about their issues, but more often than not they try to find a solution themselves or put up with the situation.     

提升教育服务竞争力：应对WTO策略

加入WTO是中国“全面建设小康社会”战略进程中的转机，意味着中国的经济、社会、化、教育融入世界全球化的进程加快，与此同时也潜藏着严峻的挑战。综合国力的竞争，实质上就是人才的竞争。中国的“入世”对我国的教育必然产生广泛而深刻的影响，这种影响的实质就是促使中国的教育更加开放地面向世界．更加积极地参与国际竞争，更加主动地进行国际交流与合作。面对这种扩大的开放性、广泛的国际交流与合作和激烈的竞争态势，必须呼唤国人的教育服务意识，提升教育服务竞争力．在WTO所提供的国际舞台上掌握主动权。教育服务竞争力主要概括为教育服务的市场、教育服务的质量、教育服务的产品和教育服务的发展等四个方面。提升教育服务竞争力的应对策略主要为学会规则、利用规则．引进国际优质教育资源和先进教育理念．调整教育结构。做好引进与教育输出工作。

The practices of dealing with children with special needs in school: a Norwegian perspective

The article has two parts. Part one deals with some historical developments in the field of special education in Norway. There has been a change in formulated policy from a clearly segregated system, then integration and mainstreaming and now intentions about inclusion as an ideal. The second part is about children with behavioural difficulties and especially children diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorders) and how they are treated within the education system. Knowledge about these children’s situation is not very well developed or widespread in the Norwegian education system. The numbers of children with an ADHD diagnosis vary a lot between schools. Both diagnosis and treatment connected to ADHD have been highly controversial in Norway, as in many other countries. The gap between ideals and realities is a striking element in special education in Norway and also for these children. The inclusion criteria have not been met. The reasons for this are discussed.

校内学生伤害事故处理是适用监护责任约定推定转移还是适用过错责任是一个引起广泛争议的问题 ,而且在立法、司法上也尚未形成统一、明确的认识。监护责任约定推定转移既不符合我国立法本意也不符合法理 ,而且在实践上有不可克服的弊病 ,因此只能适用过错责任原则。     

A new technique for dealing with behaviour difficulties in Cyprus: the analysis of critical incidents

Recently the issue of behaviour difficulties arose at the centre of the educational debate in Cyprus. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new technique for enabling schools to deal with behavioural difficulties through an analysis of critical incidents. First, the paper examines definitions of behaviour difficulties, briefly explores the causes of misbehaviour and summarizes the different theories and methods that have been used for behaviour management. It then defines the new technique by providing its theoretical background, and illustrates how the new method has been used. Using evidence from schools in Cyprus, the paper provides illustrative examples which demonstrate how certain events that happen in the classroom can be analysed in order to provide schools with useful information for developing new ways of facing behavioural difficulties.     

The case of the Jewish High School in Berlin: a denominational school dealing with diversity

The following contribution deals with the conception of Jewish schools in Germany. With regard to the British debate about state funding for religious schools, current developments in the Jewish educational system in Germany will be presented. After this, the constitutional framework for the establishment of denominational schools in Germany will be analysed. The second and major part of the article deals, as a case study, with the Jewish High School in Berlin, which is the only Jewish secondary school in contemporary Germany. In an empirical qualitative approach, the desires and expectations of the pupils in their religious education take centre stage. Before moving to the empirical study, an overview of the history of the Jewish High School, its re‐establishment in 1993 and a profile of the pupils and the school will be provided, in order to understand the special character of this school. The conclusion in the last part raises the question of new directions emerging from a Jewish school which has pupils who are heterogeneous culturally, religiously and socially and which does not react with a strategy of cultural preservation, but with a policy of inter‐religious dialogue.

Training in dealing with child abuse in schools: problems in evaluating course effectiveness

Teachers play an important part in identifying child maltreatment but find dealing with it difficult. This study examines the problems involved with evaluating a countywide training programme on this topic for senior teachers. The course was run 17 times and 60% of the participants attending were sent an evaluation questionnaire three months after taking part. There was a 49% response rate. It was found that the activities undertaken by the participants after the course were a greater reflection of the effort required than of the effectiveness of the course. It is argued that this factor should be taken into account when conducting and interpreting any course evaluation.
