Views from the field: program directors' perceptions of teacher education and the education of students who are deaf or hard of hearing

Arandom sample of directors of programs for the deaf in North America were surveyed to get their views about the skills that teacher education programs need to be teaching future teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. The directors were queried about literacy practices, classroom management strategies, and communication strategies used in their programs, and were encouraged to comment freely on the questionnaire items presented to them. Program directors predicted a need for more itinerant and resource teachers. The survey also revealed that programs for the deaf are highly behaviorist (i.e., You do this and you'll get that) in the way they induce students to learn and in how they manage student behavior.     

博耶论通识教育

我们认为，普通教育亟待赋予新的必不可少的因素，需要使核心课程计划与学生的生活以及他们所继承中的世界的联系更加紧密协调。在学生们各自不同的兴趣之外，需要有某些共同的兴趣，有对知识更加综合化的观点和对生活更加深刻的理解。     

Parameters in television captioning for deaf and hard-of-hearing adults: effects of caption rate versus text reduction on comprehension

Caption rate and text reduction are factors that appear to affect the comprehension of captions by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These 2 factors are confounded in everyday captioning; rate (in words per minute) is slowed by text reduction. In this study, caption rate and text reduction were manipulated independently in 2 experiments to assess any differential effects and possible benefits for comprehension by deaf and hard-of-hearing adults. Volunteers for the study included adults with a range of reading levels, self-reported hearing status, and different communication and language preferences. Results indicate that caption rate (at 130, 180, 230 words per minute) and text reduction (at 84%, 92%, and 100% original text) have different effects for different adult users, depending on hearing status, age, and reading level. In particular, reading level emerges as a dominant factor: more proficient readers show better comprehension than poor readers and are better able to benefit from caption rate and, to some extent, text reduction modifications.

我的科学经历

回想起来,在我成长过程中,既有与众不同的地方,也有许多很平凡的地方。在上高中以前,我完全没有机会接触科学,对于科学的作用几乎一无所知。就是上高中以后,我的主要精力     

Child abuse potential in parents with histories of substance use disorder

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between parental history of substances use disorders (SUDs) and abuse potential. METHOD: Milner's (1986) Child Abuse Potential Inventory (CAPI) was administered to fathers and mothers (with and without histories of SUDs) of 10- to 12-year-old boys. RESULTS: Fathers and mothers with lifetime histories of SUDs had higher Abuse Scale scores and were more likely to score in the Elevated range (as determined by clinically significant cutoff scores) than parents without such histories. No differences were found between parents with current diagnoses of SUD and those with past (but not current) histories of SUD. Fathers and mothers with a partner who had a history of SUD were more likely to score in the Elevated range, regardless of their own SUD histories. Separate regression models revealed that, for both fathers and mothers, emotional dysregulation (positive and negative affectivity) predicted Abuse Scale scores. Additional contributors to Abuse Scale scores were SUD status in fathers, and lack of involvement with the child in mothers. CONCLUSIONS: History of SUDs in both fathers and mothers increases abuse potential. Contributors to abuse potential differed in fathers and mothers, underscoring the importance of examining parents separately in child maltreatment research.     

右手与左脚

那一年,青年德勒从大学毕业了,他成为了一名教师。第一次给学生上课有点紧张,德勒看了几眼挂在墙上的彩色人像和明丽风光,心里逐渐平静了下来。"好了,开始了。如果感到幸福你就拍拍手。"德勒大声地对所有学生说。这种方法是要激发学生的想像力和敏感性,让他们学会表达。孩子们纷纷举手,跟着德勒拍,他们的面孔从僵硬乏味变得鲜活生动。德勒更加激情高涨,他的视线从一个学生跳跃到另一个学生,最后,定格在一个男孩子脸上——他是那样地面无表情!德勒又重复了一次,男孩子依旧没有表情。     

春的畅想曲

又一个春天要过去了,这段日子里,承载了我怎样的记忆和思绪。人们都说,这应该是一个灿烂明媚的季节。可是我印象中,只留下了阴沉压抑的天空。记忆中,关于春天的概念,还是充满生机与希望,但是夹在冬季与夏季这两个醒目的季节之间的那段日子,却是那般的暗淡与模糊。可以说,夏天和
