A STUDY ON MARK TWAIN'S THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN——AN ANALYSIS OF THE MEANING OF HUCK'S ADVENTURES

Huck,the hero of this novel,is a“bad boy”as Twain says.Indeed,he is good,warm-hearted,active and brave.He also has a native shrewdness,a cheerfulness that is hard toputdown compassionate tolerance,and an instinctive tendency to reach the right decisionsabout important matters.Twain moreover,gives huck's adventre,which means escape.Huck notonly adventures to help Jim to escape from the lavery,but also helps himself toescape from the aristocratic“civilizing”society.It shows his brave to fi…

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LEARNING SCIENCE? AN ANALYSIS OF POLICY AND PRACTICE IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

ABSTRACT:  The paper explores the current rationale for primary science in England with a focus on how competing perspectives arising from perceptions of educational ideology and policy discourse have helped to shape current practice. The aim will be to provide a conceptual understanding of this by focusing specifically on how policy has influenced practice. In particular it will consider the way in which discourse and policy text have contributed to the emergent rationale for primary science which in many ways reflects conflicting influences, views and policies. Data were collected over a year from a regional survey and from four case-study primary schools. The findings suggest that teachers in primary schools face tensions between promoting both an educational and a political rationale for learning primary science. The paper will conclude by suggesting that the justification for primary science should be based on what we already know about how children learn science as well as helping them to develop an understanding of science and how it influences and is intrinsically linked to the needs of society.

THE PRACTICALITY OF USING THE TASK-BASED INSTRUCTION——IMPROVING STUDENTS'UNDERSTANDING OF STRESS AND TONE

This study investigated the efficacy of the Task-based instruction for improving students' understanding and awareness of stress and tone.23 learners made up the control group to receive the traditional method as opposed to 23 learners who receive the task-based instruction to teach stress and tone. The results indicated statistically significant differences between the Control and Experimental groups on the variables of post test scores.     

IMPROVEMENT OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION—THE CASE OF SUBTRACTION

The research study this article is based on aims to implement research knowledge to teaching, that is, the concept of critical aspects and dimensions of variation used in the variation theory. To do this, the researchers worked with willing teachers to explore how to make mathematics teaching more effective. This paper illustrates how teachers make use of a learning theory, the variation theory, as well as their own professional expertise and collaboration to help students improve their mathematical understanding of subtraction as well as their learning of it. The students’ tests, examinations of students’ mathematical work, the teachers’ lessons plan and reports of the instructions for lessons form the data base for the article. The analysis indicates that one of the critical aspects in the process of implementation of the variation theory in the teachers’ practice was to identify the critical aspects in students’ learning. Another critical aspect in the implementation of the variation theory was to open up dimensions of variation in the identified critical aspects of the students. By giving teachers the possibility to develop the ability to identify critical aspects in students’ learning, dimensions of variation are opened up in these aspects, and by applying this knowledge in the daily teaching, they have the possibility to improve students’ learning. The findings suggest that developing an understanding of the students’ critical aspects can be a productive basis in helping teachers make fundamental changes in their instructions and improve students’ learning.     

PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS AND MONTE CARLO SIMULATION OF THE KINEMATIC ERROR IN A SPATIAL LINKAGE

The stochastic models of the usual joints are first established through intro-ducing the concepts of“clearance characteristic element”and“clearance space”.After de-riving the probability density function of the joint clearance and making the probabilisticanalysis of the resulted kinematic errors,the sampling formulas of the independent varia-bles of the joint clearances are further deduced.Through Monte Carlo simulation,the sta-tistical characteristics and frequency histograms of the kinematic errors are then analysedon computer.

ANALYSIS OF THE LEARNING EXPECTATIONS RELATED TO GRADE 1–8 MEASUREMENT IN SOME COUNTRIES

This study analyzes measurement learning expectations involving area and volume in grades 1–8 across several U.S. states and high-performing TIMSS Asian countries, including Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan. Based on a review of official curriculum documents, results of this study indicate that the mathematics content, grade placement, and cognitive level of learning expectations related to selected measurement topics vary markedly across states and countries. This variability in learning expectations results in striking differences in students’ opportunity to learn.     

DO UNIVERSITIES HELP THE ECONOMY? THE CASE OF THE DEMOCRITUS UNIVERSITY OF THRACE

This article analyses the relationship between a dispersed‐campus regional university in Greece, the Democritus University of Thrace, and the local economy. The author is led to conclude that little connection or balance exists between the financial consequences of the operation of the university and regional development. The presence of the university has increased consumption without having created new jobs or research areas linked to the social structure or to the economic needs of the region.
