Reading beneath the lines of children's stories

This paper is drawn from a study of 10-12 year-old children's stories, the specific purpose of which was to provide a means of investigating the influence of television and videos on children's imagination. Faced with the need to understand nearly 500 stories from their authors' points of view, that is interpreting the authors' meanings and intentions rather than constructing my own meaning as a reader, I found myself wondering how the 'reading' of these texts was to be undertaken. The paper describes the technique I devised for this task and what I found it could reveal about the subtlety, complexity and multiple meanings that can often be discovered in children's stories.The potential power of such an approach to reading children's writing raises issues about the assessment of school writing.     

社会化批注对大学生数字化深阅读影响的实证研究

新媒体网络时代大学生的阅读方式发生较大变化,由传统纸质阅读转向数字化阅读,但基本上以浅阅读为主。深度阅读所反映的阅读能力对个人成长与发展具有不可估量的影响。阅读工具是阅读主体与客体发生联系的中介,直接影响着阅读的效果。社会化批注是一种借助中间代理提供的用户接口和存储空间,对第三方的只读网络资源添加批注,并且可以再现或分享批注的Web2.0应用。研究发现：在深度阅读的初级阶段,批注的作用并不明显;但随着阅读深度的增加,批注和互批对大学生阅读内容的理解、储存和回忆、思考和交流有较明显的增强作用。因此,为满足大学生新媒体深度阅读的需要,基于新媒体的阅读器应该具备社会化批注功能,开展以小组为单位的批注、互批和分享等阅读活动,以激发学生主动思考、表达和互动交流的动机。同时,需要注意的是,利用社会化批注进行阅读过程中最好有一个阅读引领者,以引导、调控和规范批注内容。     

试论质的研究及其对当前心理学研究的意义

在量的研究仍然占据主流地位与进一步完善的同时,强调自然的条件下对研究对象进行深入考察的质的研究正在蓬勃兴起。然而在具体研究实践中。存在着对质的研究的认识不足,将质的研究与定性研究混为一谈。本文在深入剖析质的研究的内涵的基础之上,结合当前信息时代背景的心理学研究趋势,并在研究方法上就质的研究对于心理学研究的意义作了全面阐述。

The ‘no problem’ Discourse model: Exploring an alternative way of researching student learning

In this paper we explore an alternative way of characterising the student learning experience, drawing on sociocultural perspectives on learning. Here, learning is not merely the application of an approach to a cognitive task, but a social process of identity formation. In particular, we draw on Gee's concept of Discourse models to identify the implicit theories students use to make sense of their learning and assessment experiences. From interviews with third year engineering students, we identified what we termed the ‘no problem Discourse model’, in which students construct an upbeat portrayal of their experience of a course, despite experiencing crises induced by assessment events. Through a process of justification the seriousness of the crisis is denied. This Discourse model appears to have its roots in a popular Discourse of self-actualization. There was evidence of co-construction of this model during the student learning interviews. This suggests implications for the roles that teachers can play in either maintaining or challenging the Discourse models that are adopted by students.     

Researching assessment as social practice: Implications for research methodology

Recent educational journals on both sides of the Atlantic have seen a resurgence of debate about the nature of educational research. As a contribution to these debates, this paper draws on theoretical and methodological ‘thinking tools’ of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Specifically, the paper explores what Jenkins [Jenkins, R. (2002). Pierre Bourdieu. London: Routledge and Falmer] refers to as Bourdieu's “reflexive epistemological pluralism” and its implications for research into higher education, with a particular focus on assessment as social practice. This particular theoretical and methodological understanding is used to critically reflect on a study conducted in 2005 on the impact of a policy on anonymous examination marking which was implemented at the University of Cape Town in 2004. The study collected both quantitative data of student examination performance pre- and post-policy implementation, as well as interviews with course conveners. The paper argues that when viewed interdependently the data offers insight into some of the “principles of vision and division” [Bourdieu, P. (1996). The state nobility: Elite schools in the field of power. Cambridge: Polity Press] at work in assessors’ judgment-making process. The assessors’ deliberations expose ideological tensions between the dual challenges of equity and excellence in the context of a historically white liberal university under transformation.

Old Advice for New Researchers

In this paper, I offer advice to new researchers on how to conduct a successful research project in educational psychology. I break the research task into three parts: creating a research question, creating a research methodology, and creating a dissemination plan. The criteria for creating a research question include personal interest, educational relevance, theoretical grounding, and empirical testability. The criteria for creating a research methodology include that the method provides relevant evidence, is feasible, and is as simple as possible. The criteria for creating a dissemination plan include basing your argument on research evidence, presenting your argument in coherent style that links your main findings with theoretical and practical implications, and seeking the best possible peer-reviewed publication venue.

Absence of males in maltreatment research: A survey of recent literature

This paper provides a review of research in the area of physical maltreatment with respect to the degree to which males are represented in research samples. The systematic, comprehensive review includes 126 articles published between the years 1989 and 1994 in nine primary journals. Results show that adult males are dramatically underrepresented in this research. Specifically, males were included in fewer than one-half (47.7%) of the 77 articles reviewed and the total number and percentage of males in research samples was significantly less than the number and percentage of females. Only three studies included males exclusively, yet 40 studies involved solely female participants. Of the studies that did include men, only 37.5% provided an evaluation of gender differences. Research involving abused children showed a much greater representation of male subjects than research with adult participants. Only four of 49 studies of abused children were based exclusively on girls; a full 62.8% included an equal representation of boys and girls.
