Emergent Supervisors: Comparing Counseling Center and Non‐Counseling‐Center Interns' Supervisory Training Experiences

Predoctoral interns' responses to an internship supervision training questionnaire indicated that counseling center interns supervised more trainees, received more supervision in their supervisory roles, reported more supervision training activities, and yielded higher supervisor development scores than did non‐counseling‐center interns. A qualitative analysis of participants' responses showed that non‐counseling‐center interns desired more supervision training and opportunities to provide supervision during their internship year than did counseling center interns.     

Examining the effect of positive behaviour support on academic achievement of students with disabilities

Students who engage in challenging behaviour compromise the fundamental ability of schools to educate children. Consequently, teachers face the daunting task of designing effective strategies to promote positive educational outcomes for their students. Since the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act amendments, the use of positive behaviour supports (PBS) to address the behavioural needs of children challenged by disabilities has expanded. There is evidence to support the utility of PBS in reducing challenging behaviour among students. However, successful schools are also gauged by the academic achievement of their students. Hence, it is important to examine the extent to which behavioural outcomes are related to academic outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which PBS interventions aimed at reducing challenging behaviour result in corresponding improvement in academic achievement. A meta‐analysis of extant research indicated a positive correlation of 0.40 between improvement in problem behaviour and academic achievement.

The Relationship Between Undergraduate Attendance and Performance Revisited: Alignment of Student and Instructor Goals

We revisit the relationship between attendance and performance in the undergraduate university setting and apply agency theory in the instructor–student context. Building on agency theory propositions in the educational setting advanced by Smith, Zsidisin, and Adams (2005) , we propose that the student and instructor must align goals to promote the student's achievement of performance learning outcomes, and attendance functions as a behavior‐based alignment mechanism to encourage the convergence of faculty and student interests. Further, we propose that attendance does not equally affect lower‐ and higher‐performing students and that absences are also negatively related to students' cumulative grade point average. We test these hypotheses with data from undergraduates enrolled in management courses at a state university in the southeast. Our results show that attendance is positively related to exam performance, there are more pronounced negative effects of an absence for lower‐performing students than for higher performers, and absences are negatively related to a student's cumulative grade point average. We discuss the implications of our findings for students, instructors, and universities as well as practice in teaching and learning.

农村教师专业发展的保障状况与对策——基于浙江省的调查研究

《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要(2010-2020)》提出以农村教师为重点,推进中小学教师队伍建设。农村教师专业发展保障现状成为关注的焦点。我们通过对浙江省的问卷和访谈调查发现,农村学校教师专业发展制度保障完善,但是专业学习时间、专业发展经费和专业引领等资源保障缺乏。解决这些问题需要,建立城乡教师编制双轨制,创新专业发展经费保障制度,构建城乡合理的教师交流机制,以及探索近身专业援助的模式。     

哈尼族大母神塔婆与汉族女始祖女娲的比较研究

塔婆是哈尼族神话传说中生育众物、传承人种的大母神形象,广泛存在于哈尼族口传文学、父子联名谱系及其节庆活动之中;而女娲则是中华主体民族汉族神话传说中的女始祖,她造人、补天、治水、置婚姻、作笙簧,创造了诸多历史功绩。但和塔婆比较,女娲虽然声名显赫,却不具备现实意义和生命力量,而且,因为经过了父权文化的精心改造,女娲形象和塔婆形象相比,缺乏真实性、原始性和兼容性。

In the red? Debt levels at higher education institutions in China

Borrowing from banks has become a common practice among Chinese higher education institutions (HEIs), and operating with a heavy debt load has become a characteristic of Chinese higher educational development. Substantial financial commitments acquired by HEIs during their rapid expansion since 1998 are now having serious consequences: numerous universities and colleges have found themselves with major debt problems. Some are even facing insolvency. This paper describes the background of Chinese HEIs’ debt problems, assesses the present debt and repayment situation, and suggests a possible solution for the university debt crisis, using empirical evidence from one HEI in China.

近代翻译小说中传统文化的渗透与选择——林纾《黑奴吁天录》“误译”再解析

考察林译小说研究状况,可以发现一个其他课题很少见到的现象:由于研究者学科身份和知识结构的不同,形成两种不同的学术取向和价值判断,呈现一道特异的"双向景观"。这种"双向景观",一方面形成一种学术互补,而从另一角度看,却又各自存在误区,而且在两个向度之间留下了不小的空白。其实,"双向景观"的两维,可能都对一个问题未引起充分的重视,这就是林译小说的特殊文化生态:体现了中西文化的双向"互动"与"渗透"。通过对林译小说的考察,不难发现:中国近代小说翻译最初以思想启蒙为动力,同时受社会传统文化的制约,为迎合当时接受者的阅读习惯和情趣,其中必然包含了大量改制创作成分。不过,国人在翻译外国小说的同时,对西方文学从隔膜走向了解,逐渐通过选择、引进、吸纳,革新了中国小说,进而萌育了现代翻译观念。
