Study and Stress among First Year Overseas Students in an Australian University

Overseas students bring to Australia a very different cultural, social and intellectual experience from that which awaits them. Reviews of previous studies suggest that their beliefs, values and attitudes to knowledge, to styles of learning and study can lead to study shock. A questionnaire survey of a sample of 133 first year overseas students mainly from Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, most of whom were studying for a Bachelor of Business degree, and 76 Australian born first year students mainly of British and European origin from the same classes, showed that compared to local students the overseas group had significantly greater difficulties adjusting to academic requirements, particularly with regard to managing the demands of study, specifically study methods, independent learning, language skills, participation and time management. The overseas students manifested significantly higher degrees of various stress indicators than did the local students. More academic and counselling support and resources for this increasing intake of overseas students should be provided.     

Stress in Year 11 Students

Over the past decade, teacher stress has been well studied. However, comparatively little research has been carried out on student stress. This article reproduces a study carried out by Kyriacou and Butcher in 1993 to observe whether the main stressors for year 11 students have changed over the past 10 years. Students at one comprehensive school completed a questionnaire about their own stress, which was also completed by the teachers. The main sources of stress were academic, as was found in 1993; however, coursework featured more in 2002. There were a number of differences between girls and boys and between the students and their teachers.

With the development of intercultural communication,researchers not merely pay attention to dominant culture study but also focus on sub-culture and related culture,which exist in the same dominant culture.As a result,gender differences in communication have become a sub-field of the study of language and society.This paper investigates gender differences in communication among undergraduate students.The result of the study can help us to understand the miscommunication between male and female undergraduates and make a reference to effective class communication.     

第一学年有效管理学生的举措——基于“三一制”教学模式的思考

在“三一制”教学模式中,传统的大学生管理方法难以有效管理这些仅仅在校学习一年的学生,如果在第一学年未建立有效的管理体制,以后两学年更难以达到有效管理。实践证明,如果能够在第一学年充分了解学生情况,建立有效的分支管理模式,提高学生综合素质,培养学生的自我管理能力,建立畅通的信息交换渠道,不仅可以在很大程度上提高第一学年学生管理效率,也可为后两学年学生管理奠定良好的基础。     

Navigating Postsecondary Pathways: The College Choice Experiences of First-Generation Latina/o Transfer Students

The purpose of this study was to explore the college choice and transfer decision-making processes of six high-achieving first-generation Latina/o transfer students who began their postsecondary studies at a community college and later transferred to a four-year Hispanic Serving Institution. Utilizing interpretative phenomenological analysis, four themes emerged from data analysis to explain the factors that influenced participants’ decisions to enroll in community college: (a) Inadequate Guidance from School Personnel, (b) Financial Concerns, (c) Familial Factors, and (d) Community College as an Appropriate Match. Additionally, two themes related to the decision to transfer to a four-year institution emerged: (a) Access to Greater Opportunities, and (b) Support and Motivation. The findings of this study will aid researchers and educators alike in understanding and supporting the college choice decisions of high-achieving first-generation Latina/o students.

为了探讨信息类高校大学生心理应激源特点及常用应对方式,从而为高校心理健康教育工作提供依据,采用大学生心理应激源及应对方式问卷对某信息类高校400名大学生进行调查。结果显示:前程压力是信息类高校大学生面临的最大的心理应激源;大学生在前程压力、学习压力、社交人际压力、自主独立压力上年级差异显著,大三学生压力最大;大学生在应激状态下习惯采用的应对方式依次为:解决问题、幻想、自责、合理化、退避。高应激组倾向于采用消极的应对方式。进而得出结论:信息类高校要指导大学生采用积极的应对方式,顺利度过应激状态。     

Grade Level and Gender Differences in the Writing Self-Beliefs of Middle School Students

The objectives of this study were to determine whether middle school students' writing self-efficacy beliefs make an independent contribution to the prediction of their writing competence and to explore grade level and gender differences in writing self-beliefs (N = 742). Writing self-efficacy was the only motivation construct to predict writing competence in a model that included writing self-concept, writing apprehension, perceived value of writing, self-efficacy for self-regulation, previous writing achievement, gender, and grade level. Girls were more competent writers than were boys, but there were no gender differences in writing self-efficacy beliefs. However, when students were asked whether they were better writers than their peers, girls expressed that they were better writers than were other boys or girls in their class or in their school to a greater degree than did the boys. These findings suggest that girls and boys may use a different metric when responding to traditional self-efficacy scales. Students in Grade 6 reported higher self-efficacy and found writing more valuable than did their older peers, and students in Grade 7 reported lower writing self-beliefs than did students in Grades 6 or 8.

基于双向心理契约视角,运用心理契约测量量表和相关统计分析方法,验证了"师生之间的相互期望只有部分与各自的自我期望契合而达成心理契约"这一基本结论:不因学生性别不同而发生改变,但男、女生与教师缔结的心理契约具体内容不尽相同.在此基础上,对高校男、女生履行师生心理契约责任情况作了进一步实证分析,发现不同性别学生履行师生心理契约责任情况也存在一定差异.     

Differences in Suicidal Experiences of Male and Female Undergraduate and Graduate Students

Differences in the suicidal experiences of males and females and of undergraduate and graduate students have not been thoroughly explored. Furthermore, given the changing dynamics of college student suicidality and the challenges of suicide prevention, it is important to continue updating the research in this area. This article presents findings from a 2006 national survey with responses from over 26,000 undergraduate and graduate students at 70 colleges and universities. Gender and undergraduate versus graduate student differences were found in suicidal thoughts and behaviors, related experiences such as professional and informal help-seeking during a suicidal crisis, events that precipitated and contributed to the suicidal crisis, and factors that protected against attempting suicide. Among the many findings, some are consistent with previous research, some are unexpected, and some have not previously been studied. The results of this survey have implications for targeting specific interventions to better meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate student males and females.     

Gender Differences in Factors Influencing Achievement of Distance Education Students

The responses of 712 high achieving and low achieving students at the Open University of Hong Kong were analysed to investigate gender differences in factors that contribute to successful achievement in distance education. The analysis indicated a number of gender differences, including in the areas of organisation and use of study materials, confidence about studies, and independent versus collaborative study. Based on these, some questions have been raised about the need to develop some different treatment for male and female students in order to maximise the achievement of both groups.
