Effects of Different Multimedia Presentations on Viewers’ Information-Processing Activities Measured by Eye-Tracking Technology

This study implemented eye-tracking technology to understand the impact of different multimedia instructional materials, i.e., five successive pages versus a single page with the same amount of information, on information-processing activities in 21 non-science-major college students. The findings showed that students demonstrated the same number of eye fixations during information searching and spent the same amount of time on the overall instructional materials regardless of format. However, the total number of eye fixations on the picture areas was significantly greater for the multiple-page than for the single-page presentation. A significant difference was found in the duration of students’ eye fixation durations on the picture areas under the two conditions, with students spending more time on the picture area of the multiple-page than of the single-page presentation. Greater pupil size was found when participants viewed the multiple-page presentation, implying that this presentation format was associated with a higher cognitive load. The participants’ eye-movement data for specific areas was recorded and analyzed to determine students’ information processing patterns and strategies and for triangulation with the quantitative findings. Discussion of the research findings and suggestions for future research are provided.

高等教育领域中的象征性秩序探究

高等教育作为提升国民素质的重要制度和手段,历来是国家和政府着力发展的重要内容,但持续发展着的中国高等教育制度却存在着诸多不尽人意的问题,诸如毕业生就业难等。这些存在着的问题,不仅引来了国人的强烈关注,也同时引来了许多学者和教育人士为之开方寻解,结果却差强人意。从社会秩序的视角出发,通过对于高等教育领域中象征性秩序的分析,尝试性地从根本上解释某些高等教育问题存在的原因。     

农村大学生就业边缘化及消解机制

当前农村大学生就业边缘化问题严重。其就业边缘化的困境主要源于农村大学生能力缺失导致的竞争型边缘化和制度性障碍导致的非竞争型边缘化。这直接影响农村社会的教育观念、大学生的社会流动、城乡一体化及和谐社会的建设。因此,必须消解农村大学生就业困境,在提升农村大学生就业能力的基础上,发挥政府作用,完善相关政策设计,减少制度性障碍导致的非竞争型边缘化。     

从补习教育的盛行看应试教育的生成和治理

作为一种对传统教育制度的片面性观念认识,应试教育的形成过程分为两个阶段。在应试教育的生成阶段中,补习教育等因素促成了应试教育的出现,在应试教育的维持阶段中,应试教育反过来促进了补习教育的盛行。随着应试教育的出现和补习教育的盛行,又导致了社会总成绩水平的提升和分数贬值现象的出现,进而使得参加补习教育由最初的个体选择演变成当下的集体困境,而其中涉及的个体理性和个体利益应是治理应试教育的关键所在。     

Suburban American Punks and the Musical Rhetoric of Green Day's “Jesus of Suburbia”

This essay examines Green Day's “Jesus of Suburbia” as an artifact and reflection of suburban American punk culture. It looks at how music, lyrics, and the ethos of the performer interact to create a message that fostered identification between speaker and audience by using Sellnow and Sellnow's Langer-based illusion of life perspective. In this case it was found that music can be seen as an effective tool for expressing the suburban punk experience due to its ability to convey both linguistic and emotional content.

UpToDate versus DynaMed: a cross-sectional study comparing the speed and accuracy of two point-of-care information tools

Objective:To compare the accuracy, time to answer, user confidence, and user satisfaction between UpToDate and DynaMed (formerly DynaMed Plus), which are two popular point-of-care information tools.Methods:A crossover study was conducted with medical residents in obstetrics and gynecology and family medicine at the University of Toronto in order to compare the speed and accuracy with which they retrieved answers to clinical questions using UpToDate and DynaMed. Experiments took place between February 2017 and December 2019. Following a short tutorial on how to use each tool and completion of a background survey, participants attempted to find answers to two clinical questions in each tool. Time to answer each question, the chosen answer, confidence score, and satisfaction score were recorded for each clinical question.Results:A total of 57 residents took part in the experiment, including 32 from family medicine and 25 from obstetrics and gynecology. Accuracy in clinical answers was equal between UpToDate (average 1.35 out of 2) and DynaMed (average 1.36 out of 2). However, time to answer was 2.5 minutes faster in UpToDate compared to DynaMed. Participants were also more confident and satisfied with their answers in UpToDate compared to DynaMed.Conclusions:Despite a preference for UpToDate and a higher confidence in responses, the accuracy of clinical answers in UpToDate was equal to those in DynaMed. Previous exposure to UpToDate likely played a major role in participants'' preferences. More research in this area is recommended.     

环境管制与企业竞争力之间的关联机制研究

理论界对环境管制的争论从未停息,主要有两大流派：一种观点认为,严格的环境管制能够促进企业进行环境技术创新,进而开发出更好的环境友好型产品,进而促进企业竞争力的提升;另一种观点认为。环境防治及污染处理费用的额外支出,必然增加企业成本,从而影响企业的价格竞争优势,最终抑制了企业竞争力的提升。本文主要是围绕这两种观点的理论依据深入剖析他们的分歧所在。并结合当前的国际经济发展形势,提出企业未来发展的环境战略之路。
