Reading-Writing Connections

Reading and writing are both processes dealingwith language. In a view of invention, lanaguage pro-vides an important foundation, language is not justthe passive copying of an extralinguistic reality, but

中国人的“缘”:一种文化心理学视野下的解读

我们日常生活中提到的“缘”多指“缘分”、“因缘”、“机缘、机遇”等意。现在中国人心中仍然持有“缘”的观念,按照多少、时间、性质、对象等划分标准,“缘”有多种分类。“缘”的观念的产生既受佛教的影响又有农业经济的原因,还和迷信有关。“缘”在中国人人际关系建立的各过程均发挥着作用,有利于人们的心理健康,但是应该尽量去除“缘”的迷信成分和减少它的消极作用。     

夜郎族群的对外联系

先秦两汉时期,夜郎族群对外联系较为频繁。通过商贸交易,夜郎与南越结成联盟;通过经济文化的长期交流,夜郎受到了滇文化的较深影响;通过古“夷道”,夜郎与巴、楚及内地有了往来;通过古“栈道”,在与巴蜀交往中,中原文化传播到了夜郎区域。秦及汉初,巴蜀与夜郎的交流并未中断。夜郎纳入郡县制之后,通过南夷道,中原文化在夜郎区域得到了广泛的传播。     

Learning French

译文：约翰这个学期要学法语了。他问他的父亲：“爸爸。法语很难学吗？”他的父亲回答：“开始时是很难学的,但学到后面就变得很容易了。”“噢。太棒了!那我就先学后半部分吧。”约翰说。     

政治关联与企业成长

在中国式分权体制下,地方政府掌握着大量行政处置权和公共资源,诱使企业积极发展政治联系.一方面,政治关联在一定程度上帮助企业,尤其是民企获得实际的产权保护和廉价的公共资源,突破各种管制和进入壁垒,从而赢得更加有利的生存和发展空间,因此具有一定的积极意义.然而,另一方面,政治关联不仅会抑制企业核心竞争力的建设和公司治理结构的完善,而且还会导致租金的耗散和不公平竞争,从而不利于企业和国民经济长远的健康发展.为此,产权改革、放松(所有制歧视性)管制、强化市场竞争机制都将有效地抑制政治关联的作用.     

Making Connections in the School Curriculum

Abstract

Possibly the greatest problem now facing citizens and educators is the increasing polarization in society. In this article, I address today’s social and political climate and the challenges it poses to communication and civil discourse. The problem is acute on college and university campuses, as well as in schools. I’ll propose one potential curricular solution, interdisciplinary studies, as a means of opening minds, spurring dialogue, and reducing polarization.     

Assessing the cost-effectiveness of Family Connections

OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of two alternate forms of Family Connections (FC), a child neglect prevention program, in relation to changes in risk and protective factors and improvements in child safety and behavioral outcomes. METHODS: In the original FC study, a sample of 154 families (473 children) in a poor, urban neighborhood, who met risk criteria for child neglect, were randomly assigned to receive either a 3- or 9-month intervention. CPS reports and self-report and observational data on risk and protective factors, safety, and behavioral outcomes were collected prior to, at the end of, and 6-months post intervention. The current study compared the costs of delivering the 3- or 9-month intervention in relation to reported improvements in risk and protective factors, safety, and behavioral outcomes for each group. RESULTS: The 3-month intervention was more cost effective than the 9-month intervention in relation to positive changes in risk and protective factors and child safety. However, cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that the 9-month intervention was more cost effective (CE ratio=$276) than the 3-month intervention (CE ratio=$337) in relation to improved unit changes in the child's behavior between baseline and 6 months after service closure. CONCLUSIONS: This study successfully explored the cost-effectiveness of the FC intervention in relation to its intended outcomes. More extensive cost analyses are currently being conducted in the replication of this program in multiple jurisdictions across the United States. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Practitioners in community-based programs must make difficult decisions about the optimal length of time to serve children and families. Prevention programs may be more competitive for funding when they have demonstrated cost-effectiveness. Study results indicated that a 3-month intervention was more cost effective than a 9-month intervention in enhancing protective factors and reducing the risk of child neglect; 9-month intervention was more cost effective than 3-month intervention in reducing problematic child behavior. Further research is needed before practitioners should consider these findings in relation to their own decisions about the timing of service closures.     

Connections: A Collaborative Design Project

This is a study of the Connections project; a collaborative design exercise between Birmingham School of Architecture and Landscape, and local primary schools. It explains the processes and outcomes of this annual collaborative design exercise, in which students of architecture join forces with primary school children, to explore connections between architecture, and various subjects of the National Curriculum. It shows how graphical learning methods, from architectural education, have been adopted successfully across the curriculum at primary level. Three phases of the project, and their different kinds of graphic communication, are identified. Learning in each of these is explored with supporting evidence from students’ diaries and interviews with teachers. Two examples of recent project work are used to show processes and outcomes. The first, a Science and Architecture project, demonstrates how methods of working gave a clear relationship between abstract ideas, and representational models and drawings. The second illustrates quality of outcomes, and depth of understanding in an Art and Architecture project. Finally the study introduces ongoing research, based on the Connections project experience, which addresses the scope of learning at both curriculum levels.     

基础法语教学中法语文学的作用--以《法语》教材为例

从上世纪90年代初开始,国内众多高校选择外语教学与研究出版社出版的《法语》作为法语专业本科阶段的教材。该文研究了该教材中法语文学类课文的分布和占比,分析了该教材缺少该类课文的原因及对学习法语的中国学生所产生的影响,评估了通过文学类课文教授基础法语的方法及前景,建议在法语教材中增加适合学生语言水平的法语文学类课文。
