Keeping your audience in mind: applying audience analysis to the design of interactive score reports

Score reports have one or more intended audiences: the people who use the reports to make decisions about test takers, including teachers, administrators, parents and test takers. Attention to audience when designing a score report supports assessment validity by increasing the likelihood that score users will interpret and use assessment results appropriately. Although most design guidelines focus on making score reports understandable to people who are not testing professionals, audiences should be defined by more than just their lack of statistical knowledge. This paper introduces an approach to identifying important audience characteristics for designing computer-based, interactive score reports. Through three examples, we demonstrate how an audience analysis suggests a design pattern, which guides the overall design of a report, as well as design details, such as data representations and scaffolding. We conclude with a research agenda for furthering the use of audience analysis in the design of interactive score reports.     

Longitudinal correlates of reading comprehension difficulties in Chinese children

The present study explored the early predictors of reading comprehension difficulties in Chinese children. We originally recruited 290 Beijing and 154 Hong Kong children and further selected from each sample those (30 from Beijing and 22 from Hong Kong sample) in the lowest 25 % on reading comprehension tests across the last two consecutive testing years (Beijing: ages 9 and 10; Hong Kong: ages 8 and 9) as poor comprehenders. These groups were matched to a group of children from the same sample whose reading comprehension was above 30 % across the two final years and matched on mothers’ education levels, age, nonverbal reasoning at age 4, and Chinese word reading across the same final two consecutive years. We then examined early linguistic/cognitive skills at ages 5–9 that could distinguish the poor and typically developing groups in each city separately. Compared to the control group, poor comprehenders from both samples performed significantly and consistently worse on word reading at early ages, and generally worse on morphological compounding awareness, phonological awareness, and vocabulary knowledge from ages 6 and onwards. In addition, lexical tone sensitivity across ages and grammatical sensitivity (administered at age 5 only) failed to distinguish the two groups for the Beijing sample but did for Hong Kong children.     

从“去”的虚化过程看“去＋VP”和“VP＋去”

从“去＋VP”和“VP＋去”中“去”的虚化过程的研究出发,根据其语义要素划分出“去＋VP”和“VP＋去”在虚化过程中不同阶段及其类别,归纳出其句法表现形式.并通过“去＋VP”和“VP＋去”的相互转换和“去”的删减来说明语义对句法形式产生的影响.不同虚化阶段的“去”有不同的语法意义,在什么情况下“去＋VP”和“VP＋去”可以互换,在什么情况下二者中的“去”可以删去,这都是由“去”的语法意义所决定的,二者的相互转换并不是随意的.

变形的母神——解读沃尔夫和莱辛对女神原型文化的重建

弗吉尼亚·沃尔夫和多丽丝·莱辛这两位英国女作家,堪称是英国文学史上的双花奇葩。她们的很多作品表现出女性在社会和精神上受到的歧视和排斥。她们认为女性文化遭受贬低的原因是母神原型被男权社会扭曲、误读。从文本中寻找母神原型的三个变形的女神意象,探讨造成女性窘困现状的原因。重建女性文化首先应该建立女性主体意识,发挥其社会能动性,树立正确的女性价值观。
