大数据背景下学术期刊评价标准研究

期刊评价标准的合理构建对学术期刊的健康成长具有重要意义,大数据时代的来临将给我国当前学术期刊评价带来巨大影响。在简要阐述我国当前主要学术评价系统、评价标准、基本特征及存在问题的基础上,对大数据给学术期刊评价标准带来的影响进行了细致分析,在此基础上提出大数据背景下学术期刊评价标准可能包含的具体指标及其计算公式。     

多时相AVHRR数据的傅立叶分析

傅立叶分析(FourierAnalysis)是一种常用的信号处理方法.将中国全年 36旬的NOAA AVHRR的 1km数据采用最大值合成法获得 1 2个月的NDVI时间序列数据,然后运用离散傅立叶变换检测该时间信号的频率分布状况.结果各频率分量与NDVI的累加值及不同周期的季节性变化等生物学特征相关.其中零频率分量为均值NDVI,而 1/1 2频率分量最大程度概括了中国地表覆盖类型的全年季节性变化模式.将提取出的这些生物学特征引入到地表覆盖分类的特征空间中,提高了类别间的可分性.这些研究表明了傅立叶变换是分析多时相AVHRR数据及提取植被的生物学特征的有用工具     

A Behavioral Approach to Building Cognitive Foundations for Effective Thought and Action

This research documents the process and results of an approach to teaching university undergraduates intentional self-development skills designed to promote self-generated goals, routines, and lifestyle choices. These skills may provide effective behavioral foundations for developing metacognitive awareness, intentionality, and individual well-being. The results of six original behavioral interventions, implemented in two James Madison University courses, provide initial support for the effectiveness of these instructional methodologies.     

Socio-cultural variation in reading comprehension development among fifth graders in Peru

In this study, the socio-cultural variation in reading comprehension development was examined in 331 fifth graders from schools in Lima, Peru. Reading comprehension was measured using an adaptation of the PIRLS Reading Literacy test. The fifth graders?? reading comprehension results, measured over the course of fifth grade, were related to the development of word decoding, vocabulary, and motivation for reading. Children??s development in these domains was related to their gender, intellectual maturity, home literacy climate, and socio-economic status. Structural Equation Modelling showed that the development of reading comprehension was influenced by the children??s ability to decode words, their vocabulary, and reading motivation. Furthermore, gender and intellectual maturity as well as children??s home literacy climate and socio-economic status appeared to substantially predict reading comprehension development, directly or indirectly. More than half of the variance in reading comprehension by the end of the fifth grade could be explained based on these predictor variables.     

Why Implementing History and Philosophy in School Science Education is a Challenge: An Analysis of Obstacles

Teaching and learning with history and philosophy of science (HPS) has been, and continues to be, supported by science educators. While science education standards documents in many countries also stress the importance of teaching and learning with HPS, the approach still suffers from ineffective implementation in school science teaching. In order to better understand this problem, an analysis of the obstacles of implementing HPS into classrooms was undertaken. The obstacles taken into account were structured in four groups: 1. culture of teaching physics, 2. teachers?? skills, epistemological and didactical attitudes and beliefs, 3. institutional framework of science teaching, and 4. textbooks as fundamental didactical support. Implications for more effective implementation of HPS are presented, taking the social nature of educational systems into account.     

School quality, child wellbeing and parents’ satisfaction

Child wellbeing at school and enjoyment of the learning environment are important economic outcomes, in particular because a growing body of research shows they are strongly linked to later educational attainments and labour market success. However, the standard working assumption in the economics of education is that parents choose schools on the basis of test-score performance, and concerns about child happiness are largely ignored. In this paper, we address this omission and investigate to what extent parents’ and children's views of their school are linked to test-score based performance, and to what extent parents’ judgements of school quality are linked to their child's happiness. To do so, we use information on stated attitudes from the Longitudinal Survey of Young People in England (LSYPE) matched to administrative records on pupil achievements in England. Our results suggest that test-score based measures of school quality tend to dominate parental satisfaction with the learning environment. However, school quality along this dimension is not strongly associated with pupil happiness and wellbeing at school.
