Helping Taiwanese Graduate Students Help Themselves: Applying Corpora to Industrial Management English as a Foreign Language Academic Reading and Writing

Lack of knowledge in the conventional use of vocabulary and multiword patterns in one's respective field of expertise causes Taiwanese students to produce academic writing that is markedly “non-nativelike.” This is because Taiwanese students are first and foremost second language readers and often have difficulty “picking up on” the regularly encountered language patterns found in scholarly texts. As one step in determining a solution to this problem, this article reports on a pilot implementation encouraging graduate Taiwanese students for whom English is a foreign language to use self-editing techniques in their own field-specific academic writing by use of a corpus tool. Classroom interviews, draft comparisons, and individual stimulated recall interviews showed a difference in acceptance and success after using the corpus tool (StringNet Navigator) as an aid to self-editing academic English writing. The corpus tool's functions, results of its use by industrial management graduate students for self-editing academic writing, and pedagogical implications are described.

Instructional Strategies to Help Online Students Learn: Feedback from Online Students

Increased enrollment in online programs and courses has prompted a plethora of research on instructional strategies that impact online students’ learning. Most of these strategies came from instructors, and others were solicited from students. While the literature notes that students who have more university experience tend to provide more substantive responses when solicited, there seems to be limited representation of online master’s students’ preferences on what instructional strategies work for them. There is paucity in the literature on how these preferred instructional strategies inform existing theoretical and practical frameworks that could impact online learning performance. This article discusses the Top Ten Instructional Strategies preferred by master’s students who responded to a dissertation survey question - What specific things would you like your online instructors do to help you learn successfully? - and relates these strategies to the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education and the Quality Matters Rubric.     

跨文化视角下我国留学生适应辅助项目的发展

留学生脱离自身文化母体的浸润,进入新的社会文化中生活,会遇到语言和生活习惯等方面的适应问题。研究表明,留学生辅助项目能够帮助学生缩短文化适应期,减弱甚至克服文化冲击带来的各种不适。目前,我国高校已开展了此类适应辅助项目,但与留学大国相比还有很大的发展空间。     

Understanding Developmental Needs of College Students in Mentoring Relationships with Professors

College sutdents may present complex mentoring relationships with professors which reflect unresolved developmental issues that may become a primary focus in therapy. Contemporary Self Psychology theory (Kohut, 1971, 1977, 1984, 1985, 1987) is applies to the student/professor mentoring relationship as a basis for understanding how the student unconsciously uses the professor as a selfobject to : (a) fulfill unmet archaic needs, and (b) achieve greater personal and professional maturity. The mentoring relationship may parallel various tranference patterns of a narcissistic nature (idealization, mirroring, and twinship) reflecting early childhood deficits. Therapists working with students in mentoring relationships may find it useful to identify transference patterns as a basis for examining and helping students resolve developmental issues.     

预科留学生汉语学习成功者的策略调查研究

文章从记忆策略、认知策略、补偿策略、元认知策略、情感策略和社交策略6个方面对预科留学生中成功者的学习策略进行了调查分析,结果显示,成功的汉语学习者在各项策略上都表现比较积极,他们在元认知策略及社交策略上的表现尤为突出。对汉语学习来说,汉字始终是一个重要的难点,这些成功的学习者突破汉字的策略,对我们的教学有重要的启示意义,比如合理采用字本位的一些方法,适当提高汉字的字词比,可以减轻学生记忆汉语词语的负担,在短时间内扩大学生的词汇量。     

Beyond Generic Mentoring: Helping trainee teachers to teach primary science

Support material to assist primary teacher mentors to help trainee teachers improve their medium-term and individual lesson plans, as well as their science lessons, was developed. This support material comprised checklists that focused on science, rather than generic teaching, illustrated by examples of trainee teachers' work, with a commentary. The trial of the material involved 64 teacher mentors and 26 trainee teachers. Trainees' practice in science was found to have improved in subsequent unmentored lessons, but good practice was not transferred to other subjects. Teachers also reported that their own practice improved and indicated that the material would be valuable in science in-service training with their colleagues.     

从"待救"走向"自救" --法治建设中个体角色的重新定位

现代中国正经历着由“人治”向“法治”的转变,而尴尬的现实处境使人们认识到,法治的实现更多地依赖于民众的观念支持,尤其是个体公民在法治建设中对自身角色的正确定位。“待救”是传统化积淀的思维定式,而“自救”是商品经济发展以及多元化法治社会的需求。实现“待救”向“自救”的转变是社会发展的必然趋势,也需要我们创造积极的政治、经济、化条件予以支持。

When Helping Hurts: Children Think Groups That Receive Help Are Less Smart

Helping has many positive consequences for both helpers and recipients. However, in the present research, we considered a possible downside to receiving help: that it signals a deficiency. We investigated whether young children make inferences about intelligence from observing some groups of people receive help and other groups not. In a novel group paradigm, we show that children (4–6 years) think groups that receive help are less smart (n = 44) but not less nice (n = 45). Children also generalized their inferences about relative intelligence to new group members (n = 55; forced-choice-method). These results have implications for understanding how children develop stereotypes about intelligence as well as for educational practices that group children according to their ability.     

An Innovative Near-Peer Mentoring Model for Undergraduate and Secondary Students: STEM Focus

This study examined a novel mentoring model, near-peer mentorship, that supports the development of mentee and mentor, incorporates established principles of mentoring, and offers unique opportunities to integrate research and teaching in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) internship. Using qualitative methods, this model was examined from the perspectives of near-peer mentors and student mentees during a science education internship at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Results revealed that this mentorship model contributed to personal, educational, and professional growth for near-peer mentors and increased the interest and engagement of students studying STEM. We discuss implications, limitations, and future directions.     

Mentoring Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Mathematics Research Students: Junior Faculty Experiences

Abstract

To be successful, junior faculty must properly manage their time in the face of expanding responsibilities. One such responsibility is supervising undergraduate research projects. Student research projects (either single or multi-student) can be undertaken as a full-time summer experience, or as a part-time academic year commitment. With many potential undergraduate research formats, and with different types of students, junior faculty may find challenges in forming their research group, establishing a structure that promotes student productivity, picking an appropriate project, or in effectively mentoring their students. This article draws from the authors’ experiences to help junior faculty navigate these complexities so that all parties reap the benefits of undergraduate research in interdisciplinary mathematical disciplines.
