The Career Maturity of Singaporean Adolescents — Where do We Stand and What Can be Done?

This study investigated the cognitive, attitudinal and behavioural aspects of the career maturity of 1380 secondary school and junior college students.

The findings reveal a general weakness in career exploration and in the students' development of career decision-making skills. While no significant gender differences can be observed, there is strong evidence to indicate that career development does mature with age. The findings also suggest a positive association between career maturity and academic performance and between career maturity and parental involvement. Among the resource persons identified, teachers are the least consulted. They are also rated as the least helpful source of career information.

In the light of these findings, implications for the planning and implementation of career guidance in schools to enhance the career maturity of the students are discussed and suggestions made.

从典型调查看湖南职工教育与经济发展的辩证关系

一、湖南职工教育、岗位培训基本情况 2002年,湖南省职工教育工作紧跟改革开放的节奏,瞄准社会发展的需要,顺应自身变革的规律,继续巩固和发扬富有湖南特色的“三九六六”良好态势,即九大统筹兼顾、九种基本做法、九类培训方式、六个特点、六项变化。 1.九大统筹兼顾 据统计,湖南省工商企业有25万多户,共有职工680多万人,其中工人560多万,他们工作在1208个岗位(工种)上。对这样一个庞大的群体实施教育与培训,     

Globalization as Both Threat and Opportunity for the Hong Kong Teaching Profession

The paper examines the roles of theHong Kong government, schools and teachers inthe translation of global economic imperativesinto demands on education, and how suchtranslation affects the teaching profession.Two global imperatives are selected forillustration because of their peculiarforegrounding by the Hong Kong government:international (English) language proficiencyand competence in information technology. Thepaper argues that preparation for economicglobalization not only poses a threat, but alsocreates an opportunity for the development ofthe teaching profession, and that this dependsto a large extent on how the governmenttranslates these global imperatives intodemands on teachers. The government is theprincipal actor in the selection andtranslation of global imperatives. Schools arenot just brokers and enforcers of governmentpolicy, but can be an important buffer betweenthe government and teachers by helping themcope with the imposed imperatives at the schoollevel. Teachers can be key players in acceptingor rejecting such imperatives. Governmentstrategies that are insensitive to teachers'needs and practical concerns create moreproblems than solutions.

渐开线少齿差齿轮副承载能力系数

渐开线少齿差齿轮副,由于是内啮合,齿轮副的齿对之间的间隙很小,在受力后轮齿变形而使得同时有多对齿啮合。本文用简明的几何推导,弹性力学的方法,推导出了轮齿受载弹性变形后同时啮合的确切齿对和承受载荷最大的齿对的载荷与总载荷的比例系数——承载能力系数。利用承载能力系数可算出更符合实际的各齿对分别承受的载荷。经样机的设计、制造和试验结果表明,本文提出的计算方法和公式是正确的,可以有效地提高齿轮副的承载能力。     

Dechlorination by combined electrochemical reduction and oxidation

INTRODUCTION Chlorinated phenols compounds used widely in industry were intentionally or inadvertently released into environment in large quantities. These chlorin-ated aromatic compounds have strong resistance to physical, chemical and biological treatments and have been listed as a priority pollutant by the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (Lin and Tseng, 1999). Wastewater containing chlorophenols has malodor-ous odor, high toxicity, bioaccumulation and car-cinogenic potential. …
