Regular class teachers' perceptions of transition programs for EMR students and their impact on the students

This study was designed to obtain the perceptions of regular class teachers who taught children who had been in EMR programs, but had been decertified (D) and returned to regular classes in response to court cases and recent legislation. A cohort of regular class (RC) students were selected for comparative purposes. It was found that D students were placed into low ability classes; yet, teachers perceived D subjects to be significantly lower than RC students in both academic achievement and social acceptance. Only a small proportion of teachers indicated that the enrollment of D students had much impact on the regular class instructional program. However, the teachers were rather critical of the services received under the auspices of a transitional program, indicating in large part that the services were either not apparent or ineffective.     

国际体育仲裁程序性问题之法律适用

在国际体育仲裁中,能否为体育纠纷寻求适合的法律适用,能否获得令人信服的解决结果,将决定着体育仲裁的公正与效率。作为体育纠 纷解决的新型手段,也作为仲裁世界的新兴疆域,国际体育仲裁既有着对仲裁传统形式尤其是国际商事仲裁的依从,也有着基于体育独有的社 会存在而顺应所生的创见。试循如上思路,以程序性问题的法律适用为核心,就国际体育仲裁尤其是强制性仲裁对传统仲裁法律适用规则之呼 应与变革进行梳理,以期在法律适用之相关问题的探讨中提出有益辨析。

Follow-up of high-risk children identified in kindergarten through direct classroom observation

Sixty-one children, originally identified at the beginning of kindergarten on the basis of 4 distinct clusters of observable classroom behavior, were evaluated at completion of first grade. Teacher ratings and individual achievement test scores partially confirmed the predictive validity of the original clusters. Children in the nonrisk cluster continued to do well, while children in the high-risk cluster were still doing poorly in some areas. An unexpected finding was that children in another cluster, originally seen as nonrisk, also seemed to be in some difficulty. Concerns about specific aspects of observable behavior were discussed.     

Repeat Consumption of Media Goods: Examining Factors Affecting Repeat Theatrical Viewing of Movies

This study explored the factors affecting repeat theatrical viewing of movies. Integrating content, social influence, and access/competition variables, the analysis reveals that the drivers of theatrical repeat viewing are different from those for box office performance. For example, the effects of genre, transmedia content, and audience review were significant only for the latter and factors such as movie length, critics’ review, and level of news coverage actually played a negative role in the repeat consumption.
