The Reading Habits of Superior College Students

A structured team approach in learning introductory COBOL programming was empirically assessed with a sample of 215 undergraduate business administration majors. For each assigned program, students in the experimental group read and critiqued team members’ program listings. COBOL proficiency was measured by a final examination testing knowledge of language rules, ability to read a program, and the ability to write a program. Analysis of multiple covariance was used to statistically adjust test scores for age and conditional reasoning scores. For the program writing variable, a significant difference favoring the experimental group was found. The language rules variable showed no significant difference, while the reading variable did not satisfy the required assumptions of the proposed statistical model. However, the experimental group showed higher mean scores for both of these variables. The findings provide empirical support for incorporating team activities into the programming learning process to more effectively develop student proficiency in writing COBOL programs.     

关于大学新生班级管理的几点思考

Relative Spelling Ability as a Predictor of the Academic Performance of Superior Ability College Freshmen

Abstract

It was hypothesized and demonstrated that, for superior ability college freshmen, failure to develop spelling ability to the same level as general verbal ability is associated with poor academic performance. However, the same relationship did not hold for lower levels of academic ability.

Since the spelling score was not reflecting finer discriminations of academic aptitude within the superior group, it was suggested that it was indicative of the attitudes or motives that determine the performance of such high ability students.     

英语专业大一精读课词汇与文化背景教学探析

作为英语专业低年级的主干课程,精读课承担着全面提高学生听、说、读、写、译能力的责任。其中词汇教学和文化背景教学又是精读课教学的两个重要方面。作为专业性外语三本院校,词汇教学不能完全让学生自学,老师必须给予启发,循序渐进地培养学生自学生词的能力。文化背景教学必须遵循实用性原则、阶段性原则和适合性原则,从学生实际情况出发,争取取得事半功倍的效果。

Relations Among Oral Reading Fluency,Silent Reading Fluency,and Reading Comprehension: A Latent Variable Study of First-Grade Readers

In the present study, we examined oral and silent reading fluency and their relations with reading comprehension. In a series of structural equation models with latent variables using data from 316 first-grade students, (a) silent and oral reading fluency were found to be related yet distinct forms of reading fluency, (b) silent reading fluency predicted reading comprehension better for skilled readers than for average readers, (c) list reading fluency predicted reading comprehension better for average readers than for skilled readers, and (d) listening comprehension predicted reading comprehension better for skilled readers than for average readers.

大学新生入学准备度的实证研究 ——基于新疆X大学1033名本科新生的调查分析

大学新生入学准备度关涉高等教育质量的发展与提升.研究基于新疆X大学1033名新生入学准备度的调查分析发现:大学新生普遍存在入学准备度不足的问题,不同性别、民族和专业的学生在学习习惯、大学认知、学科成绩、语言水平、自我效能及愿望抱负等六个维度上存有群体差异,并受到家庭背景和学校教育等因素影响.为改进大学新生入学准备度,教育行政部门应注重加强高中与大学的有效衔接,高校要针对性地提供入学初期的帮扶政策以促进学生从高中到大学的平稳过渡,学生个体应在入学准备过程中养成良好的学习习惯并增强学习内驱力.

Augmenting the Simple View of Reading for Struggling Adult Readers: A Unique Role for Background Knowledge

This study explored the background knowledge (BK) and reading comprehension (RC) relationship for struggling adult readers. Using confirmatory factor analyses, a single-factor BK model exhibited better fit than a two-factor model separating academic knowledge and general information, which indicates that BK represents a unidimensional construct for this population. In addition, one measure of oral vocabulary loaded with a latent factor of BK, which was separable from a latent factor of two additional oral vocabulary subtests. Using structural equation modeling, we found that BK exhibited a direct effect on RC after controlling for participants’ grade level, decoding, listening comprehension, and oral vocabulary.
