Enhancing environmental educators' evaluation competencies: insights from an examination of the effectiveness of the My Environmental Education Evaluation Resource Assistant (MEERA) website

To conduct evaluations that can benefit individual programs as well as the field as a whole, environmental educators must have the necessary evaluation competencies. This exploratory study was conducted to determine to what extent a self‐directed learning resource entitled My Environmental Education Evaluation Resource Assistant (MEERA) can enhance environmental educators' evaluation competencies. The multiple case studies relied on data from eight environmental educators with limited evaluation experience who used MEERA to evaluate one of their programs. Results suggest that MEERA can (1) increase environmental educators' perceived evaluation competencies, (2) help environmental educators produce quality evaluation outputs, and (3) foster their use of evaluation results. Perceived benefits of using MEERA included obtaining evidence of program success, insights into how to improve programs, and alternative ways of thinking about programs. Perceived challenges included varying difficulties with evaluation tasks such as prioritizing evaluation questions and designing data collection instruments and, in line with this, desiring personal expert assistance for context‐specific advice and reassurance. This research contributes to expanding understanding of how to enhance environmental educators' evaluation competencies and practices.     

对我国一般性转移支付支出需求因素的探讨

一般性转移支付的核心目的在于地区间财政能力的均等化。转移支付能否实现均等化取决于用于衡量财政收入能力和支出需求的转移支付公式中所包含的因素,因此因素的选取就显得格外重要。通过对比各国一般性转移支付支出需求因素,发现我国一般性转移支付存在很多问题,容易导致负激励,影响到均等化的效果。结合发达国家的做法,探讨我国一般性转移支付支出需求因素的改革思路。     

Non-Reactive Measurement of Orientation toward the Natural Environment

Little is known about the evaluation practices of environmental educators. Questionnaires and discussion groups with a convenience sample of UK-based practitioners were used to uncover their evaluation methods. Although many report that they are evaluating regularly, this is mainly monitoring numbers of participants or an assessment of enjoyment. There may be a difference between practitioners’ and evaluation experts’ understandings of what constitutes evaluation, with many practitioners appearing to see “data collection” and “evaluation” as synonymous. In addition, evaluators would not consider many of the methods used for data collection appropriate. More robust methods for collecting data and longer-term evaluations are often impractical for environmental educators to conduct themselves, and mechanisms are suggested for improving interaction between practitioners, researchers, and evaluators, which could enhance evaluation practice.     

Educational impact on the relationship of environmental knowledge and attitudes

This study examines the relationships between the environmental attitudes and environmental knowledge of schoolchildren within the framework of an environmental intervention. We employed questions from the 2-MEV model to monitor students’ environmental attitudes in terms of the model factors Preservation and Utilisation while concurrently monitoring three environmental knowledge dimensions (system, action-related and effectiveness knowledge) at three different test times during the course of a four-day field centre programme for fourth-graders (N = 133, M_age = 9.8 years). Probably due to measurement constraints (e.g. a ceiling effect, social desirability), we found no correlation between environmental knowledge and the attitude Preservation at all test times. The attitude Utilisation correlated negatively with all environmental knowledge dimensions, indicating that students who score higher on Utilisation are more likely, for example, to have and gain more system knowledge through programme participation than the other students or vice versa, as a causal relationship cannot be derived from our analyses: system knowledge may also influence Utilisation. In other words, children who refrain from (ab)using nature also seem to put more effort into improving their environmental knowledge and/or children who engage in learning about the environment will become less exploitative towards the environment.

The ‘Quality Myth’: Promoting and Hindering Conditions for Acquiring Research Funds

Research funding has been undergoing a shift from recurrent, stable funding to competitive funding of projects. The system rests on the assumption that the best proposals or the best researchers receive the resources, i.e., that quality is not only necessary but also sufficient to win a grant. A comparative study of the conditions of fund acquisition was conducted to test this assumption. Qualitative interviews with 45 German and 21 Australian Experimental physicists were conducted. Although the quality of a proposal and the reputation of a researcher are important prerequisites for a successful acquisition of funds, the success of a funding proposal depends on several factors that are not linked to quality and cannot even be controlled by scientists. Scientists used adaptation strategies and universities applied institutional measures to increase their chances of external funding, but with limited success. Under the described conditions, grant acquisition is based on a Matthew Effect by rewarding the richly funded researchers and hindering entry or continuous funding for others. For these reasons it must also be doubted that external funding per se is a useful performance indicator.     

Contradictions in educational policy: implementing integrated problem‐based environmental health curriculum in a high stakes environment

In this paper, we focus on the efforts of educators at nine different research sites within the United States, funded by a grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), to develop and implement innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum on the relationship of the environment and human health. The NIEHS correctly maintained that the interdisciplinary nature of learning about environmental health would improve students’ learning across several subject areas and should, therefore, contribute to students scoring higher on state’s subject area based standardized tests. However, these goals were undermined by state polices linking standardized tests with student promotion and graduation, and the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) that required public schools and districts to aggregate test scores which might have negative consequences, such as reducing school funding or privatizing school administration and state policies. These policies resulted in deleterious effects that undermined implementing environmental health curricula.

中国古代赐姓赐名制度考论

赐姓赐名是古代君主权力染指人名姓氏文化而产生的一种政治文化现象。这一现象在先秦时代主要表现为分封赐姓,而秦汉以降则表现为贵姓嘉名的德赐与恶姓丑名的凶赐两个不同方面。古代君主通过德赐褒奖笼络臣下或利用凶赐打击羞辱犯罪之臣,赐姓赐名因其具有明显的社会政治功能而成为古代君主专制行之有效的统治工具。     

Assessing environmental understanding: an application of the concept mapping strategy

Despite its importance as a central goal in environmental education, there appears to be little consensus about how best to document, assess and evaluate understanding of environmental concepts. This illustrative case study describes and demonstrates the use of the concept mapping strategy as an effective tool for assessing environmental understanding. Data were collected from 325 middle school‐aged (11–14 years) individuals and comparisons were made among those enrolled in a model, university‐based, informal, residential marine education program (viz. MarineQuest) and a matched group of non‐participating students. Using a non‐randomized Solomon Four Group experimental design, differences in the structural complexity and content validity of knowledge about marine animal life were explored. Results reveal significant differences in the frequencies of concepts, relationships, levels of hierarchy, branching and cross‐linking and in the frequencies and types of critical concepts depicted. In all cases, where differences were found, they favored participants who enrolled in the environmental education intervention. The findings suggest that concept maps offer a valuable alternative or adjunct to traditional pencil and paper tests and provide both a qualitative and a quantitative measure of conceptual understanding.

Genetic and environmental etiologies of reading disability: A twin study

Previous twin studies of reading disability employed a comparison of concordance rates in identical and fraternal twin pairs as a test for genetic etiology. Recently, a statistically more powerful multiple regression analysis of twin data has been formulated to assess the importance of genetic factors in the development of reading difficulties. Application of this analysis to twin data from the Colorado Reading Project yields definitive evidence for a genetic etiology. Results from this study suggest that approximately 40 percent of the deficit observed in the disabled readers is due to genetic factors, 35 percent is due to environmental influences shared by members of twin pairs, and about 25 percent is the result of environmental factors unique to the individual and/or error variance. This work was supported in part by a program project grant from the NICHD (HD-11681).     

基于熵值法的京津冀地区城市综合承载力评价

以京津冀地区13个城市为研究对象,选取24个指标构建了京津冀地区城市承载力的评价指标体系,该体系包括了自然资源承载力、环境承载力、经济承载力和环境承载力4个子系统指标,并根据熵值法和综合系数法对13个城市子系统承载力和综合承载力进行评价。结果显示,以0为承载力的预警指标值,京津冀13个城市中有10个城市的综合承载力得分为负数,低于预警值,并发现环境承载力和经济承载力是制约京津冀发展的主要因素,因此,提升京津冀城市综合承载能力应主要提升京津冀地区13个城市的环境承载力和经济承载力。
