Probability With Less Pain

The teaching of probability theory has been steadily declining in introductory statistics courses as students have difficulty with handling the rules of probability. In this article, we give a data‐driven approach, based on two‐way tables, which helps students to become familiar with using the usual rules but without the formal structure.     

少有人选择的道路

正当年从克莱蒙研究大学(CGU)硕士毕业后,艳扬就开始了一段穷游美国的行程。很多人问过她为什么牺牲掉找工作的最佳时间,而选择放任自己在路上?这篇文章或许能够告诉你,有时候,少有人选择的道路并非是一种冒险,因为或许那才是你最渴望的方向。Since the initial publication of my gap year travel,I have fortunately received emails and messages from my readers and people who are willing to share with me their stories.As well as encouragement,I receive many life questions from young professionals at

本领恐慌

1939年,毛泽东曾在《在延安在职干部教育动员大会上的讲话》中指出,我们队伍里边有一种恐慌,不是经济恐慌,也不是政治恐慌,而是本领恐慌。70年后,党的十七届四中全会提出建设“学习型政党”,这种历史的遥相呼应并不是一种巧合,而是适应变化的必然规律。     

I Save 20 Cents Less

Bill is a doorman. He works in a factory, and he usually comes home at seven every evening. Last Friday he came back home very early, and he was very angry. He shut the door very hard, went into the living room and sat down. His wife went to him and looked at him for a few seconds. Then she asked him, "Why are you so angry, Bill?" "Because tickets cost 70 cents last week, but now they costs only 60 cents, " he said. "But that isn't bad, Bill," his wife said. "It's good. Going by bus is muc…     

Making Pedagogical Adaptability Less Obvious

In this article, I try to make pedagogical adaptability a bit less obvious. In particular, I use some post-structural philosophical ideas and some concepts at the intersections of social class and race to re-interpret Dylan Wiliam's conception of formative assessment. I suggest that this interpretation can provide opportunities to resist the urge to treat adaptability as only a technical teaching practice; to experience adaptability as a dynamic, complicated, and reciprocal relationship between teacher and student, rather than something that only the teacher invokes; and to explore some of the complex ways in which adaptability is socially-classed in classrooms.     

请少用空调

正在夏天,人们总是想尽办法呆在空调房。但是,空调是使温室效应愈演愈烈的罪魁祸首。当空调温度每下降一度时,就会有更多的温室气体向上飘扬。如果有一天臭氧层不见了,请不要讶异。这是我们在享受空调的凉风之后必须付出的代价。

关于“减负”的若干思考

减轻中小学生负担,是关系国家,民族兴衰的大问题。当前学生负担过重的原因,从根本上说是体制造成的。因此,目前最重要的是要彻底改革现行的教育体制,从根本上由“应试教育”转到素质教育上来,从传统的、封闭的教育转到现代的、开放式的教育上来,从仅仅局限于阶段性的教育转到终身教育上来,并在完善相应的法律制度、加大教育投资、推进全民观念更新等方面加以配套,从而为学生“减负”和健康成长创造良好条件。

Enhancing Memory Access for Less Skilled Readers

Less skilled readers’ comprehension often suffers because they have an impoverished representation of text in long-term memory; this, in turn, increases the difficulty of gaining access to backgrounded information necessary for maintaining coherence. The results of four experiments demonstrated that providing less skilled readers with additional explicit interconnections enhanced their text representations in memory and increased their ability to maintain coherence. Experiments 1a and 1b confirmed the finding that less skilled readers were not disrupted by global inconsistencies. Experiments 2a and 2b showed that text manipulations designed to enhance the accessibility of global information led to less skilled readers being disrupted by global inconsistencies.     

Children Persist Less When Adults Take Over

Children need to learn to persist through challenges, yet adults sometimes step in to solve problems for them. Here, we looked at how adult taking over related to children’s persistence. In an observational study (N = 34, ages 4–8), we found that parents who took over more often during a challenging puzzle task rated their children as dispositionally less persistent. To establish whether taking over can cause reduced persistence, we ran two preregistered experiments (N = 150, ages 4–5). Children assigned to a taking over condition persisted less on a subsequent task compared to those in a teaching or a baseline condition. Reframing the context did not ameliorate the negative impact of taking over. The results suggest that taking over impairs children’s persistence.     

少一点说教 多一点童趣

童话是儿童最喜闻乐见的一种文学体裁,它能丰富学生的想像,给学生以美的感悟和心灵的熏陶。童话语言通俗生动,故事情节往往离奇曲折,引人入胜。童话教学要抓住童话自身的特点,以童趣为本,充分利用并激发孩子的想象力、表现力展开教学,从而引领学生进入神奇的童话王国,与主人公产生情感共鸣。
