Marginal funding: A difference that makes a difference?

This paper describes a model which allows for the assessment of alternative funding formulas for post-secondary educational systems. The first section of the paper present a rationale and identify the characteristics of what the authors label a practical planning model. The remainder of the paper describes the model and shows its application to a specific situation. The emphasis is on assessing the extent to which marginal funding proposals can offer a viable alternative to traditional linear enrollment driven formulas. Although the model operates at a statewide level of aggregation, it should also be beneficial to those interested in system and institutional resource allocation patterns in a period of declining enrollments.Presented at the Nineteenth Annual Forum of the Association for Institutional Research, San Diego, California, May 1979.

The effects of sleep restriction and extension on school-age children: what a difference an hour makes

This study assessed the effects of modest sleep restriction and extension on children's neurobehavioral functioning (NBF). The sleep of 77 children (age: M = 10.6 years; range = 9.1-12.2 years) was monitored for 5 nights with activity monitors. These children (39 boys and 38 girls) were all attending regular 4th- and 6th-grade classes. Their NBF was assessed using computerized tests on the 2nd day of their normal sleep schedule. On the 3rd evening, the children were asked to extend or restrict their sleep by an hour on the following 3 nights. Their NBF was reassessed on the 6th day following the experimental sleep manipulation. Sleep restriction led to improved sleep quality and to reduced reported alertness. The sleep manipulation led to significant differential effects on NBF measures. These effects may have significant developmental and clinical implications.

“生成“——让课堂闪动灵性

1背景现状的分析　　叶楠教授说过:“课堂应是向未知方向挺进的旅程,随时都有可能发现意外的通道和美丽的风景,而不是一切都必须遵循固定线路而没有激情的行程.“在新课标理念下生成教学已成为一道亮丽的新景观.只有不断地生成,课堂才有生命力.学生和教师才会共同成长.但是在平时的教学中,由于受传统教学的影响,太多的预设占据了课堂,学生尤如被缝翅的鸽子,难以展翅高飞,下面2个教学片断就说明了这一点.……     

文化制胜

文化是无形的,但它若有所给予,却是无尽的财富——不同的是每个人领会、挖掘多少……文化的历史,波澜壮阔几千年——回顾蹉跎岁月,人们不禁感叹:怎么那么多王侯将相、那么多功名利禄的面孔都模糊了呢?古代统治者的行程凝重而步履匆匆,他们所掌握的文化是沿袭前人的“有形文化”,于是,他们的身影一去不复返了……但历史使人类记住了文化的名字和那些真正创造过它的人!

从宗教意识起源看中西人生观差异

中西人生观存在较大的差异。中国人崇尚一元化,理想生活和世俗生活合二为一,较少超越意识;西方人崇尚二元化,理想生活与现实生活可以独立存在,并行不悖,有强烈的超越意识。产生这些差异的原因追根溯源在于中西宗教意识起源殊途而不同归。
