The Professor as Librarian

This article does not propose that professors replace librarians, but shows that librarian functions are a natural part of the teaching activities. The author (B.A., Texas; M.A., Wayne State; Ph.D., Ohio State) has contributed articles and reviews, is editor of “The College Experience,” and is associate professor of language arts, California State Polytechnic College.     

The Distinguished Teacher

Five characteristics of distinguished teachers are discussed in the following article, which treats the subject in a fresh way. One thing distinguished teachers always achieve is the stimulation of intellectual curiosity among their students, according to the dean of liberal arts, Idaho State University (A.B., Alma College; M.A., Northwestern; Ph.D., Michigan State) whose specialty is English.     

The Unit Approach in College Teaching

“We feel that an improved library does indeed have a very decided effect upon the quality of teaching done on a college campus” declare the authors of the following article which reports on use of A.L.A. Standards in developing a junior college library. Mr. Tanis (A.B., Calvin College; M.A.L.S., M.A., Michigan) is librarian and Dr. Jacobs (B.A., Central Michigan; M.A., Michigan; Ed.D., Wayne State) is instructor in political science and chairman of faculty library committee at Henry Ford Community College.     

What is an Academic Library?

Students' concepts of the library and its function should be brought closer to those of librarians in the view of the chairman of library services at Jersey City State College (B.A., UCLA; M.A., Columbia). He has had a notable dozen years in library work across the continent, was author of a twice printed satire “How to Appear Educated” in Library Review.     

The Psychology of the Teacher

The Greek authorities are at present struggling to develop new dimensions in higher education in order to meet the new demands as members of the European Common Market. The author (B.A. equivalent, University of Athens; M.A., Ph.D., Southern California) sketches the problems and demands and offers a wide range of suggestions for the advancement of higher education in Greece. He is serving at present on the faculty of Western Washington State College.

A comparison of outcomes of virtual school courses offered in synchronous and asynchronous formats

As part of the formative evaluation of Alabama's pilot of its virtual schooling system (the Alabama ACCESS Distance Learning Program), the Alabama State Department of Education examined outcome data from courses offered in the two distance delivery systems: web-based course management and interactive videoconferencing (IVC). In light of Bernard et al's. [Bernard, R., Abrami, P., Lou, Y., Borokhovski, E., Wade, A., Wozney, L., et al. (2004). How does distance learning compare with classroom instruction? A meta-analysis of the empirical literature. Review of Educational Research, 74(3), 379–434] recent meta-analysis finding that asynchronous distance environments generally had more positive outcomes than synchronous ones, a comparison of online (asynchronous) and IVC (synchronous) platforms provided an opportunity to explore and shed more light on outcome comparisons between synchronous and asynchronous platforms. Though there were some outcome differences, the dominant finding was of no differences between platforms.

轧机提速对四列圆柱滚子轴承的影响和优化措施研究

国内某钢厂轧机进行了提速,导致支承辊上四列圆柱滚子轴承出现温升过高情况。针对此问题,对该轴承提速前后的摩擦力矩和发热量进行了计算比较,显示速度对摩擦力矩的影响不明显,与发热量近似成正比例关系。对轴承进行了降低温升优化。采取的主要措施为减少相互滑动部位接触面积,增设散热油路;降低接触面粗糙度;优化轴承油孔改善散热效果。提出了滚子端面和挡边点接触的简化计算方法。优化后的轴承经应用后温升明显减缓,提高了使用寿命。     

Academic achievement,pupil participation and integration of group work skills in secondary school classrooms in Trinidad and Barbados

Studies have shown a positive relationship between a rise in schooling levels and economic production [World Bank, 2005. A Time to Choose: Caribbean Development in the 21st Century. World Bank, Washington, DC; Jules, V., Panneflek, A., 2000. EFA in the Caribbean: Assessment 2000, Sub-Regional Report, vol. 2, The State of Education in the Caribbean in the 1990s. UNESCO, Kingston, Jamaica; Haddad, W.D., 1990. Education and Development; Evidence for New Priorities. World Bank Discussion Paper 95. The World Bank, Washington, DC; McClelland, D., 1969. Does Education Accelerate Economic Growth. In: Eckstein, M.A., Noah, H.J. (Eds.), Scientific Investigations in Comparative Education. Macmillan, London], but this link may be limited in systems of education where traditional pedagogic methods have been dominant (such as the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Barbados where underachievement is also associated with lack of participation and low levels of social inclusion skills by teachers: World Bank, 1992. Access, Quality and Efficiency in Caribbean Education: a Regional Study. World Bank, Washington, DC; Kutnick, P., Jules, V., Layne, A., 1997. Gender and School Achievement in the Caribbean. Department for International Development, London). Into traditional classroom contexts in Trinidad and Barbados, a new social pedagogic method was introduced by teachers and changes in attainment and motivation of pupils and attitudes of teachers were assessed over two terms in secondary schools.     

Predictors of variation in sate reported rates of psychological maltreatment: A survey of statutes and a call for change

BackgroundPsychological maltreatment (PM) is equivalent in harm to other forms of child maltreatment and yet it is not included in all US State child abuse statutes and past research using the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS, 1998, 2007, 2008) identified 300-480-fold differences in substantiated cases across US States. This variation is inconsistent with the significance of the problem and the availability of reliable operational definitions.Participants and SettingUS State statutes were coded and compared with reported rates of four different forms of child maltreatment in the 2014 and 1998 NCANDS data sets.MethodsData were extracted from NCCANDS and State statutes were coded independently by the authors (kappa = .96).ResultsFor 2014, the difference in reported rates of PM between the State with the lowest rate and the State with the highest rate was 523-fold which was much higher than for physical (30-fold) and sexual abuse (20-fold) but not neglect (524-fold). Statutes still use the term “mental injury” from the original Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment Act, 1974) and two thirds did not define it. Reported rates of PM in NCANDS were not correlated with whether PM was defined in the statute but when a harm standard was present, reported rates were statistically lower. Almost 70% of statutes mentioned a current trend (e.g., sexual/human trafficking) demonstrating a willingness by States to amend statutes.ConclusionsA common, reliable definition of PM (and other forms of maltreatment) in CAPTA, NCANDS, and US State statutes is necessary for the US to have a surveillance system that allows for the assessment of the effects of policies on reported rates of all forms of maltreatment.

从新郑出土礼乐器论春秋史事与礼乐制度

:1 996年 1 2月至 1 997年 1月 ,河南省文物考古研究所在新郑市郑地体现了春秋时代郑国礼乐制度的风貌 ,因此在历史考古学上具有不可忽视的学术价值。以当时的史事和礼数典制而论 ,这些青铜礼乐器显然不是为祭礼而设 ,很可能是公元前五四一年 (鲁昭公元年、郑简公二十五年 ) ,在郑地成功举行“虢盟之会”后 ,郑简公年在新郑以飨礼隆重款接盟会的主要倡议者赵孟等三人时 ,主方食制之象征。新郑出土十坑礼乐器得以保存当年之风貌 ,这也许正是郑国对当年这两件历史盛事的纪念     

Higher Education Trust, Rank and Race: A Conceptual and Empirical Analysis

This study involved an analysis of faculty trust in a large southwestern institution. After reviewing the literature, we identified a valid and reliable instrument, the Higher Education Faculty Trust Inventory, to measure higher education faculty trust in administrators, colleagues, and students. We then used this instrument to gauge various aspects of faculty trust, and we found significant trust differences among professors of varying academic ranks (i.e., adjunct, assistant, associate, and full professor). We found, however, no significant trust differences in regard to race. Finally, we discuss the findings within a context of implications for future research and practice in higher education. Page A.

A Model for Creating Engaged Land-Grant Universities: Penn State’s Engagement Ladder Model

The original mission of the state and land-grant university was to engage with communities to solve problems and improve the quality of life for the citizenry. Today most state and land-grant universities have moved far away from their original mission and are struggling to become engaged with the communities they serve. In this case study, we highlight some of the steady progress toward engagement that has recently occurred at The Pennsylvania State University. We catalogue how strong vision and leadership; infrastructure reorganization; and the active involvement of faculty, students, and community partners have revitalized the land-grant mission at Penn State. Keith R. Aronson is the Assistant Director of the Social Science Research Institute and the Children, Youth, and Families Consortium, The Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Aronson received his B.A. from Rutgers University, M.A. from Ball State University, and Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University. He is a clinical psychologist with a specialization in biobehavioral health and is interested in understanding how research conducted at universities and colleges can better impact communities. Nicole Webster is Assistant Professor of Agricultural and Extension Education, The Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Webster received her B.A. from the University of Florida and her M.A. and Ph.D. from Michigan State University. Her special interest is in service-learning research, particularly among minority youth.
