The second deficit: An investigation of the independence of phonological and naming-speed deficits in developmental dyslexia

An increasing body of dyslexia researchdemonstrates, in addition to phonologicaldeficits, a second core deficit in theprocesses underlying naming speed. Thehypothesized independence of phonologicalawareness and naming-speed variables inpredicting variance in three aspects of readingperformance was studied in a group of 144severely-impaired readers in Grades 2 and 3. Stepwise regression analyses were conducted onthese variables, controlling for the effects ofSES, age, and IQ. Results indicated thatphonological measures contribute more of thevariance to those aspects of reading skill thatinvolve decoding or word attack skills;naming-speed measures contribute more to skillsinvolved in word identification. Subtypeclassification findings were equally supportiveof the independence of the two deficits: 19%of the sample had single phonological deficits;15% had single naming-speed deficits; 60% had double-deficits; and 6% could not be classified. The implications of these findingsfor diagnosis and intervention are discussed.     

从另一种视角看远程教育质量提升的突破口问题——兼与蒋国珍、匡贵秋商榷抑或补充

远程开放教育从技术到运行模式基本上是"西学东渐"之物,附加上中国的成分而为我所用的时候,或许忽略了诸多深层次影响因素。在今日十分强调远程开放教育质量工程建设的时刻,这些影响因素中会有对解决问题来说十分棘手的主要成分,我们应该关注和研判。即便一时求解有一定的困难,但也有助于我们预测远程开放教育近期目标应落实在什么位置上,这不失为特定环境下的有效着力点。     

地方大学与政府关系探究——基于Z大学2009-2019年政策性文件的分析

在中国,文件是政府与大学之间信息传递的重要途径,也是反映二者关系的重要载体。梳理Z大学近11年来收到的各级政府文件后可以发现,政府与地方大学的关系属于政府本位模式。其具体表现为,政府全方位指导大学内外部管理;政府多层级多部门管理大学的效能不高;大学改革与发展的延续性受到影响;大学内部行政化倾向仍在持续。
