大学生合作学习参与程度调查研究

合作学习已逐渐发展为一种主流的教学理论与策略,普遍应用于当前的学校教学中。但现有的相关研究多聚焦于中小学生,对于大学生的合作学习情况则少有研究。针对这一结构性缺失,本研究采取了实证调查方式,对大学生合作学习的参与程度及其影响因素进行了探讨和分析,以期提出富有针对性的建议,从而更好地发挥合作学习在提升大学生综合能力方面的作用。     

Reading difficulties and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity behaviours: evidence of an early association in a nonclinical sample

Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often co‐occurs with reading disability. A cross‐sectional study in an Italian‐speaking, nonclinical sample was conducted in an attempt to document the existence of an early association between reading difficulties (RD) and ADHD behaviours. We recruited a sample of 369 children in their first year at primary school. Of the sample, 8.4% displayed RD; 7.0% had ADHD; 3.5% presented both RD and ADHD behaviours; 50% of the children with ADHD displayed RD; 41.9% of those with RD displayed ADHD behaviours. Low socioeconomic status was associated with a fourfold increased probability of displaying RD (odds ratio = 3.98), but not ADHD behaviours. In this nonclinical sample, we detected an early association between ADHD behaviours and RD. A key role in this association may be played by inattention symptoms, which occurred with significantly increased frequency also in the group presenting only RD.     

Fostering Social and Emotional Skills for Well-Being and Social Progress

Children need a balanced set of cognitive, social and emotional capabilities to adapt to today's demanding, changing and unpredictable world. OECD countries and partner economies recognise the importance on the holistic development of individuals. However, there are big gaps between stakeholders' knowledge, expectations and practices on how to foster such skills. This paper presents evidence on the importance of social and emotional skills; on how policy makers and schools are currently enhancing and monitoring such skills; and, on the existing gaps between knowledge, expectations and practices to mobilise these skills. The paper concludes by pointing ways in which education stakeholders can do more to better develop and mobilise the skills that drive individual's well-being and social progress. The paper draws on findings and frameworks that are being published in a full OECD report entitled ‘Skills for Social Progress: the Power of Social and Emotional Skills’ in the first half of 2015.     

Empowering visuo-spatial ability in primary school: results from a follow-up study

The current study was primarily aimed at verifying the effect of a combined computer-assisted and pencil-and-paper training that was developed to empower visuo-spatial abilities in primary school pupils. One hundred and twenty third grade (mean average: eight years old) and fourth grade (mean age: nine years old) students attending several Italian primary schools were presented with several tests of the Primary Mental Abilities (PMA) battery by Thurstone and Thurstone. Of these, 64 children underwent the training “Recovery in visuo-spatial abilities” developed by Fastame and Antonini for 15 weekly sessions. The remaining students were assigned to the control group. Post-test scores and a follow-up assessment after six months by the end of the training highlight the positive impact of the intervention in enhancing visuo-spatial abilities.     

‘Not everything that the bourgeois world created is bad’: aesthetics and politics in women workers' education

In this paper, I look into the papers of Fannia Cohn, an immigrant labour organizer, who served the Education Department of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) between 1918 and 1962 and became one of its few women vice-presidents. As an internationally recognized figure in the history of workers' education, Cohn left a rich body of labour literature, wherein art is central in the ways she conceptualized, designed and organized women workers' educational programmes and curricula, as well as cultural activities for more than 50 years. For Cohn, however, art and politics were tightly interwoven in what I have called the artpolitics assemblage of women garment workers' life and work. It is entanglements between ethics, aesthetics and politics, considered in the light of the Rancièrian notion of ‘the distribution of the sensible’, that I discuss in this paper.     

英汉中动结构差异及其对语际错误分析的作用

中动结构作为一种特殊的句式在各个语言体系普遍存在。其共性显而易见。但就其个性差异而言,跨语言对比研究却为数不多。该文从功能主义以及认知语法的角度出发,对比分析英汉双语的中动结构,找出其在各自语言中的特点,对比其异同。研究表明,英汉中动结构无论从形式主语的表现形式、中动词的选择还是修饰语的使用上都存在差异,从而也足以解释汉语中动结构比英语中动结构的表现形式更加复杂,变化更为丰富的现象。因此,构成了外语学习者在学习中动结构过程中的错误发生动因。了解英汉中动结构的差异对于英语学习者自觉地掌握其差异,实现两种语言间灵活、准确的语码转换具有极其重要的意义。     

天线扫描对TOPSAR辐射影响的校正方法

TOPSAR模式是合成孔径雷达的一种宽幅成像观测模式,其产品被广泛应用于海洋风场反演、洋流反演等定量化遥感。根据TOPSAR模式成像的特点,对经典雷达方程表达式进行适应性修正,并在此基础上提出一套适用于TOPSAR模式的辐射校正处理方法,给出一套完整的处理流程图。最后,利用国产高分三号SAR卫星的TOPSAR试验模式实测数据对文中提出的校正方法进行有效性的验证工作。
