Proceed with caution: Uncommon wisdom about academic and student affairs partnerships

Collaborations between student affairs professionals and faculty are typically viewed as essential to the creation of successful student learning environments. Not so fast, says Peter Magolda, who warns that collaborations are more complicated than they may first appear. Embark on joint ventures with care.     

Relations between academic performance,student engagement and student burnout: A cross-lagged analysis of a two-wave study

Academic performance and student well-being are two desired outcomes of any learning and instruction process. The purpose of the present study was to test the temporal order of the relationships between academic performance and two forms of student well-being (i.e., student engagement and burnout) in a specific context. 142 psychology undergraduate students completed self-reported measures of student engagement and student burnout in two waves, during a semester. Also, we included their grades from two intermediate evaluations. Path analysis models suggested that academic grades could be considered antecedents of student engagement and student burnout, while the well-being measures cannot be considered antecedents of the academic performance. These findings provide additional knowledge regarding the relationships between academic well-being and academic performance.

对高职院校学生社团建设的思考

学生社团既是学校思想政治工作的一个重要渠道,又是学校环境育人的有效途径,它在加强校园文化建设、促进学生成长成才方面起到重要作用。中国高职教育起步较晚,相应的学生社团在建设方面也存在着很多薄弱环节,应切实加强高职院校学生社团的建设和管理,建立学生社团管理评价指标,健全社团管理制度,树立品牌意识、打造学生专业社团,进而推动高职院校社团健康有序地发展。     

短语学视域下的学术话语功能研究

在学术语境中,研究者倾向于使用特定的语言形式和结构来实现文本或语篇层面上的宏观功能,我们称之为学术话语功能。本文参照Halliday的语言元功能理论,描述与概括短语序列在学术文本中最常实现的三类话语功能：组织功能、指称功能和评价功能;它们是语篇元功能在学术语篇中的具体化表现。研究发现,某些短语序列被频繁地用于实施特定的学术话语功能,某种意义上,这些序列作为意义表达的核心承载,已成为具体功能的标志。     

A comparison of student satisfaction and value of academic community between blended and online sections of a university-level educational foundations course

This pre-test/post-test study explores students' (n = 262) sense of academic community, including their perspectives of the value of academic community, plus course satisfaction and perceived learning in nearly identical blended and online sections of an educational foundations course. Students in both delivery modes were generally satisfied with the course, had equally high perceived learning scores, but had neutral sense of community and value of connectedness scores. The findings in this study raise questions about whether the students would benefit from the infusion of time-intensive community-building strategies.     

论高校发展型学生工作模式

在我国高等教育由精英教育到大众教育发展过程中,高校必须着眼于学生的持续、全面、和谐发展,坚持以学生为本,积极构建融“教育、管理、服务、发展”为一体的发展型学生工作模式。     

语篇分析在独立学院综合英语教学中的应用

综合英语教学的重要性以及独立学院学生的特殊性都要求教师通过语篇分析来组织教学实践。语篇分析不仅从词句和语法层面来进行教学,而且通过文化背景,体裁分析,框架结构等层面培养学生宏观构建语篇意义的能力和语言交际能力,从而实现综合英语教学的目的。     

A preliminary discourse analysis of constructivist-oriented mathematics instruction for a student with learning disabilities

Reform efforts in mathematics education arose, in part, in response to constructivist works on conceptual learning. However, little research has examined how students with learning disabilities (LD) respond to constructivist-oriented instruction in mathematics, particularly in moment-to-moment interactions. To understand the nature of constructivist-oriented mathematics instruction involving students with LD, the authors conducted a case study to analyze teacher–student interactions during constructivist-oriented small group instruction involving a student with LD. The student demonstrated, to a certain degree, the ability to reason mathematically when provided with appropriate opportunities and prompting. However, given the limited intervention time, his reasoning and problem solving did not seem to go beyond the semiconcrete level of operation, which may have inhibited his solving of complex word problems with large numbers. Findings indicate that more efforts are needed to support students, those with LD in particular, in their transitions from concrete or semiconcrete to abstract conceptual understanding and problem solving.     

Studying mathematics problem-solving classrooms. A comparison between the discourse of in-service teachers and student teachers

In the article we compare the approaches of 3 in-service teachers and 3 student teachers when they tried to solve a verbal arithmetic problem in the classroom. Each interaction was studied using a System of Analysis that takes into account the cognitive processes involved in the solution of a mathematic problem and describes the interaction at different levels showing what is done and to what degree teachers and/or pupils are responsible for what is done. The results of the study suggest that both groups of teachers are different in how they direct the student’s attention toward the essential aspects implied in the resolution of word problem. On the one hand, the in-service teachers guaranteed students’ understanding of the problem before dealing with the solution, while students teachers only did so when pupils committed errors. On the other hand, the in-service teachers allowed a high level of student participation, while student teachers took a more prominent role so children’s participation was lower.

A study of the relationship between student communication interaction and sense of community

This study developed a quantitative methodology to ascertain lead indicators of student sense of community whilst undertaking a course of study. Study participants (N = 464) were drawn from students enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate Education units within a large Australian metropolitan university. Through juxtaposing student online behaviours with an online survey, the data demonstrates that students and study units with greater frequencies of communication interactions possess stronger levels of sense of community as determined by Rovai's [Rovai, A.P. (2002b). Development of an instrument to measure classroom community. Internet and Higher Education, 5(3), 197–211.] Classroom Community Scale (CCS). As a result of the identification of this relationship utilising a quantitative process, education practitioners and managers now possess the formative evaluative tools and indicators necessary to gauge student sense of community on an ongoing basis. Therefore, education managers and practitioners have the capacity to monitor and alter the learning and teaching practices designed and implemented to promote community among the student cohort in a just-in-time environment.     

A comparison of white and black student academic success using noncognitive variables: A LISREL analysis

The structural relation of the seven noncognitive dimensions proposed by Sedlacek and Brooks in 1976 and traditional definitions of academic ability, as indicated by Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores, to first semester grade-point average (GPA) and persistence after three and five semesters was examined in this study. Random samples of entrants at one predominantly white state university were administered the Non-cognitive Questionnaire (NCQ) during summer orientation in 1979 and 1980. The NCQ results and the SAT scores were used to derive structural models (using LISREL) or early academic success for both black and white students. The structural models for the black and white students were found to be very different. For black students, traditional academic ability was related to first semester GPA, but neither GPA nor academic ability was related to persistence. Only the noncognitive dimensions were predictive of black student persistence. For white students, academic ability was the best predictor of first semester grades, and these grades were the major predictor of subsequent persistence. The noncognitive dimensions were not important in white student academic success, whereas they were crucial in black student academic success.
