Comparisons of achievement, effort, and self-perceptions among students with learning disabilities and their peers from different achievement groups

This study compared the social-emotional implications of academic achievement for students with and without learning disabilities (LD) and identified predictors of effort investment. Students with LD showed lower levels of achievement, effort investment, academic self-efficacy, sense of coherence, positive mood, and hope, and higher levels of loneliness and negative mood. When compared to peers without LD (n = 447) at four different academic achievement levels, students with LD showed higher achievement than the low-average group, but their social-emotional profiles were similar to the low and low-average groups. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that achievement, academic self-efficacy, negative mood, and hope predicted effort investment for students with LD. These results demonstrated the importance of hope in understanding the functioning of students with LD.     

Beam steering in planar photonic crystal based on its anomalous dispersive properties

INTRODUCTION Photonic crystals (PhCs) are increasingly at- tracting attention due to their ability of controlling light propagation on a wavelength scale, by which a fascinating platform for a new generation of inte- grated optical devices and components can be pro- vided. Many studies on PhCs however, focused on new means of tailoring the emission and propagation of light using the photonic band gap (PBG) property whereby the photon density of states is zero. A PhC with a full PBG re…

坚持以人为本，促进企业管理创新和谐发展

21世纪,企业要发展壮大,核心是人才的引进、管理,关键是创新发展、和谐发展,真正实现人与企业、企业与社会的和谐共处。人力资源是推动企业发展的主体,和谐稳定的内部环境和奋发有为的文化氛围是企业发展的基础。本文以杭钢为代表对国有企业在人力资源配置方面、在管理创新方面所取得的成效进行了论证,说明国有企业只要重视人力资源开发,以人为本,具有正确的决策、创新的经营理念、完善的管理制度、配套的改革措施,就一定能在市场经济大浪潮中有所作为。     

春信一枝且细看

莫言从斯德哥尔摩回来了,捧回了诺贝尔文学奖.一个多月来围绕莫言获奖的新闻狂潮浪花渐平.也不知什么时候起,中国人有了诺贝尔奖情结.据说,在1999年,华裔诺贝尔物理奖得主杨振宁先生曾经预测,未来20年内中国本土会出现可获诺贝尔奖的科学家.所以,本世纪以来,每年到诺贝尔奖公布时,总会有人问:中国离诺贝尔奖有多远.问得多了,也未见有获奖迹象,于是乎有人愤愤然声言杨氏预测是忽悠.这回,莫言真的获得了诺贝尔奖,虽然是文学奖,而不是科学奖,并不能验证杨氏预测,但是不管怎么说,总是一个好兆头,给了有诺贝尔奖情结的人们一个很好的心理抚慰.     

Self-organization of mother-child instructional dyads and later attention disorder

Instructor-learner interactions are viewed from the perspective of dynamically self-organizing, coordinated systems. Mothers were asked to instruct their preterm and full-term 24-month-old children to sort blocks according to size and color (a challenging task for children of this age). Dyads were observed for their ability to find a mutual and stable instructional relationship. Dyads in which the child was later identified as having attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were marked by significantly less stable organization, less mutuality, and greater perturbations in the system. Mothers of children later found to have ADHD tended to apply stronger constraints than those whose children grew up to have no identified school problems. Implications are drawn for optimal instruction of children who are at risk for central nervous system disorders.

A comparison of the anticipated benefits and received outcomes of pediatric cochlear implantation: parental perspectives

Findings of a study that investigated parents' expectations and experiences of their children's outcomes with cochlear implants are presented. A survey completed by 247 parents whose children had received implants in eastern Australia compared parents' reports of their preimplant expectations with their experiences of postimplant outcomes on several items related to communication, academic, and psychosocial domains. Quantitative findings derived from the survey data were extended and elaborated on by qualitative findings from interviews with 27 of the parents. The findings indicated that parents' relatively high expectations of their children's outcomes largely had been met, although a tenth of survey respondents reported that their expectations had not been met. It appeared that professionals generally provided parents with realistic expectations. The qualitative findings revealed a complex interaction among parents' expectations, hopes, and determination that their children would do well with the implant. Implications for professionals are discussed.
