Do the effects of computer-assisted practice differ for children with reading disabilities with and without IQ-achievement discrepancy?

This study was designed to assess whether the effects of computer-assisted practice on visual word recognition differed for children with reading disabilities (RD) with or without aptitude-achievement discrepancy. A sample of 73 Spanish children with low reading performance was selected using the discrepancy method, based on a standard score comparison (i.e., the difference between IQ and achievement standard scores). The sample was classified into three groups: (1) a group of 14 children with dyslexia (age M = 103.85 months; SD = 8.45) who received computer-based reading practice; (2) a group of 31 "garden-variety" (GV) poor readers (age M = 107.06 months; SD = 6.75) who received the same type of instruction; and (3) a group of 28 children with low reading performance (age M = 103.33 months; SD = 9.04) who did not receive computer-assisted practice. Children were pre- and posttested in word recognition, reading comprehension, phonological awareness, and visual and phonological tasks. The results indicated that both computer-assisted intervention groups showed improved word recognition compared to the control group. Nevertheless, children with dyslexia had more difficulties than GV poor readers during computer-based word reading under conditions that required extensive phonological computation, because their performance was more affected by low-frequency words and long words. In conclusion, we did not find empirical evidence in favor of the IQ-achievement discrepancy definition of reading disability, because IQ did not differentially predict treatment outcomes.

论民办高校师资队伍的环境建设

民办高等教育作为我国高等教育事业的重要组成部分,经过20多年的发展,为国家培养了大量的建设者和接班人。但是,民办高校长期依靠兼职教师进行教学的做法严重制约了民办高等教育的发展。因此,民办高校要形成办学的良性循环,必须要有高质量、稳定的师资队伍。从目前民办高校师资队伍建设存在的问题出发,提出了建立良好的内外部环境是民办高校师资队伍建设的重要保障的观点。     

高校档案工作中的人力资源开发

在网络时代,信息产业的迅速发展推动着档案工作的改进,使档案管理模式作出相应调整。在档案馆管理中,档案员具有管理者和管理对象的双重性,这种复杂的管理关系,突出了档案员在管理中的主导地位。因此,在档案管理系统中应重视人力资源的开发。     

Validity of Holland’s theory in adolescence: evidence from a Slovak sample

The underlying calculus assumption of Holland’s theory was tested in two samples of primary school students (N₁ = 400 and N₂ = 250) with an average age of 13.86 and 14.14 years, respectively. Both exploratory and confirmatory multidimensional scaling and Hubert and Arabie’s randomization test of hypothesized order relations were calculated. The circular spatial arrangement of RIASEC types was not confirmed in either of the two samples. The study discusses possible causes of the inappropriateness of using Holland’s model in an adolescent sample.
