Teachers’ experience with inclusive education in Singapore

Teachers’ positive attitude is most critically and consistently associated with successful inclusion. However, little is known about teachers’ first-hand encounters with inclusive education in Singapore. We present findings from a qualitative study on inclusion based on focus group interviews with 202 teachers from 41 resourced primary schools. The data were transcribed and coded using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis and NVIVO software. Two broad clusters identified were teachers’ positive and negative experiences in implementing inclusion. More reference was made to negative than positive experiences. The most dominant negative experience was stress from challenging behaviours and instructional difficulties of catering adequately for diverse needs in the same classroom. The most salient positive experience was satisfaction with pupils’ progress and new learning for teachers. Classroom practices that facilitated inclusion and the value of training in shaping teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion were highlighted.     

巧用"功的原理"

功的原理就是在不计机械自重与摩擦力时,使用机械对物体做功与不使用机械直接对物体做功相等。在解题过程中,经常遇到对机械做功,如果利用功的原理,那么问题就容易解决了。下面通过例题分析用功的原理解题的好与巧。例1有一根杠杆,动力臂与阻力臂之比是5:1,在竖直向下的力作用下5秒把质量为50Kg的物体匀速抬高1m,则动力所做的功为J,(不计杠杆重和摩擦力)。分析与解答如果同学对功的原理理解应用不好,那么做这个题目相对就易走弯路,思维很容易受限,就根据W动=FS,去找动力F的大小,以及动力移动的距离,但是距离很容易找错,就误认为W动=100N…

四方会谈机制在朝鲜半岛和平统一进程中的作用

1997年12月建立的朝鲜半岛问题四方会谈机制，前后共进行了六轮会谈。参加会谈的朝、韩、中、美四国围绕着驻韩美军、朝鲜半岛南北关系以及朝美关系等问题展开了激烈的较量，在许多问题上达成了共识。尽管在朝鲜半岛和平解决问题上未能取得实质性进展，但目前仍不失为“缓和半岛紧张局势并实现永久性和平的最切实可行的途径”。     

犹太人道主义的乐观精神——读《店员》看马拉默德

美国犹太作家伯纳德.马拉默德在其成名小说《店员》中,以独特的犹太幽默、乐观的笔触描述了一位命运不济却甘愿为人类的罪行而默默“受苦”的愚者形象——犹太老人莫里斯,他用特有的犹太道德品质“救赎”和感染身边所有的人,在逆境和困苦中莫里斯的人性达到了完美境界。小说中“苦难”和“救赎”的意义激起读者对美好生活的憧憬,使读者看到苦海中孕育着的顽强生命力,更体现了作者人道主义仁爱、乐观的人生态度。

云南中小学教师人格特征及影响因素研究

以探讨云南中小学教师人格特征及影响因素为目的,用团体施测方法对 199名中小学教师的人格特征进行评定,得出了受测教师在乐群性、兴奋性、敢为性、幻想性、忧虑性、自律性等方面高于其它专业技术员,而在紧张性、怀疑性、独立性上得分则低于后者;中、小学教师仅在乐群、兴奋、敏感得分上存在显著差异;不同性别教师在一半以上因素中得分存在显著差异;不同教龄和科目的教师也存在一定差异的结果.从而认为中小学教师人格具有较高的一致性,教师人格的健全发展是提高教师心理素质的前提条件.     

Dose requirements of continuous infusion of rocuronium and atracurium throughout orthotopic liver transplantation in humans

INTRODUCTION Rocuronium bromide is a new steroidal nonde- polarizing neuromuscular blocking drug that has a faster onset of action than other nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs. The liver is the major route for its elimination. On the other hand, impaired liver function does not alter either atracurium’s elimination or plasma clearance (Ward and Neill, 1983; Pitter et al., 1990). The exclusion of the hepatic circulation and function during the anhepatic phase of orthotopic liv…     

民办高校"产权明晰"新解——美国股份制公司带来的启示

当前,民办高等教育市场中存在办学者对产权的诉求与产权归社会所有的矛盾;同时,我国民办高校属于投资办学,而不是捐资办学,其追求利润空间的价值取向与法律上不以盈利为目的规定相矛盾,其盈利行为的事实与合理回报规定不明确、税收政策尚未确定相矛盾.这些,都是源于产权不明晰所致.从美国股份制公司的运行模式来看,可以为实现民办高校产权明晰找到新的方向和途径.
