Faculty role orientation and perceived teaching effectiveness: The case of an intervening variable

This study was designed to explore the relationship between faculty role orientations and student perceptions of teaching effectiveness in community colleges. Survey questionnaires were completed by 260 faculty members and 12,396 students at five Pennsylvania community college campuses. Using a conceptual framework drawn from symbolic interaction theory, it was hypothesized that faculty members holding a student-centered role orientation will be perceived as more effective teachers than those holding a subject-matter orientation. Results indicate that whereas there is an association between a student-centered role orientation and perceived teaching effectiveness, the relationship is due to an intervening variable—the expected course grade. An examination of the causal chain of relationships among these variables is presented.This is a revision of a paper presented at the 1975 annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association (see South, Morrison and Hill, 1975).     

文化意象翻译中亏损现象补偿的关联论视角

从关联翻译理论的视角,本文探讨了译者在翻译文化意象时对可能出现的亏损现象进行补偿的七种语用翻译策略:直接翻译、直接翻译加脚注、直接翻译加修饰语、直接翻译增加隐含意义、音译、直接翻译间接翻译合用、转换文化意象等.本文认为,在翻译的跨文化交际中,在确保原文文化意象不会亏损的前提下,译者应尽可能地使译文释义性相似作者的信息意图和交际意图,使其与译文读者的审美期盼相吻合.只有这样,译者才能真正肩负起传达原语文化的神圣使命.     

Experimentation and thermodynamic modelling on SrZrO_3

Experimental data for the perovskite phase SrZrO3 were subjected to a critical thermodynamic assessment using the CALPHAD approach. Special attention was paid to the structural behavior of SrZrO3 to illustrate, how to select an appropriate thermodynamic model based on crystal structure and chemistry information, how to identify and resolve the inconsistency between various kinds of experimental data, and how to use thermodynamic modeling as a basic tool in the development and optimization of materials and process. Our assessment results in a Gibbs energy function covering the temperature range between 300 K and the melting point, which explains the experimental data within the experimental uncertainty.     

现代教育管理理论发展特征及趋向探析

现代教育管理理论是在20世纪前后教育大发展对管理提出新要求的背景下发展起来的,经历了从引借企业管理理论到整合创新教育管理理论的发展过程。现代教育管理理论发展的基本特征是:在吸纳中融合发展,在层级整合中提升,在服务实践中创新,在理论研究中转型。现代教育管理理论发展趋向主要表现为:将创立起有独立学术地位的理论体系,将更加趋于兼容整合发展创新,更加注重理论创新和理论实践性,多元性理论发展仍将呈强势趋向,虚拟教育管理理论将得到重大发展。研究现代教育管理理论发展的特征及趋向,对推进其发展及创新具有历史意义和现实意义。     

教育现象学的观念

现象学的核心精神是意识现象学,教育现象学的核心精神为直觉教育学。人的最宝贵的元素是意向性,为了保护人的意向性,人需要悬隔杂念,守护自己的赤子之心。为了重新恢复人的直觉和相关的智慧,教育学需要有新的转向即现象学转向。教育现象学的使命是重新恢复人的智慧。智慧诞生于空灵的直觉而并不来自循序渐进的积累。不过,人仅仅只有发达的意向性仍然不够。发达的意向性可以成全诸种神童的出现,但神童的出现如果以身体的孱弱、与他人交往的无能作为代价,反不如节制人的直觉,限制人的意向性,让人展开非意向性的生活。     

静待花开的智慧:教育是效果之道还是结果之道——关于有效教学的讨论

人们担心,常说的有效教学或高效教学,往往难于摆脱分数课堂和短期行为课堂,这种教育只是为了增加外部控制的机敏性、向靶性却不能改变生命内部生长的规律。这种追求短期效果的教育违背了教育走向人的成长结果的路向,因而违背了育人为本的宗旨。教育是一个复杂的过程,只有在各种因素、部分、全部内容的复合最后完成之后,结果才能降临。静待花开是在纷繁的教育事务和问题中的一种自觉,是对人和教育的一种理性。     

我国高等教育发展的多维特色:中国模式探索

在"中国模式"研究成为热点的大背景下,中国高等教育越来越凸显其自身独具特色的发展模式。这种发展模式的基本特征是,基于跨越式发展以便追赶先发国家的目标,按照冲击—反应式发展逻辑,因应目标多元而高远但资源紧张且供给机制尚待优化的实际国情,坚持重点论原则,举全国之力,以试点方式,强有力地推动高等教育系统中重点区域、重点项目、重点单位的快速发展。高等教育发展的中国模式,独具特色,但任重道远。

华中、华南沦陷后,日本帝国主义对该地区的殖民掠夺从此开始,该地区的新式工业、农业,金融业,甚至是传统的手工业都没有幸免,一并遭到强占和掠夺,给中国人民带来深重的灾难.     

Improving the accuracy of heart disease diagnosis with an augmented back propagation algorithm

1. Introduction Statistics has consistently shown that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death all over the world [1]. Every year, millions of people suffer from various types of heart diseases, among which coronary heart disease, rheumatic valvular heart disease, hypertension, chronic cor pulmonale and congenital heart disease are the commonest. Significant life saving can be achieved if an accurate diagnosis decision, which is the prerequisite of a proper and timely treatment, ca…
