Global convergence or national variation? Examining national patterns of classroom instructional practices

The world culture framework posits a convergence in the organisation of education across the world. On the other hand, scholars observing teaching practices inside classrooms find significant variation among nations and regions of the world. This study examined the global change patterns of classroom practices at the between- and within-country levels, drawing on teacher reports from the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study. Results indicate clear between-country convergence toward more student-centred and conceptual instruction. But a nation’s degree of conformity or resistance to this model was contingent upon other nation-specific factors, including centralised curriculum control or world regional location.

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.     

Uses and Gratifications,Journalists’ Twitter Use,and Relational Satisfaction with the Public

This study employed the uses and gratification approach to investigate how journalists perceive relational satisfaction with the public on Twitter, specifically the associations between journalists’ motivations to use Twitter, their Twitter use, and their relational satisfaction with the public. Through a survey of South Korean journalists, this study revealed that journalists’ motivations for Twitter use are positively related to their job-related activities on Twitter (e.g., posting/sharing their news and interacting with audience), which consequently influences perceived relational satisfaction with the public. The findings provide new insight into an increasingly important part of the public’s engagement and news/information flows in the digital media environment. This study expands upon the literature by analyzing how journalists’ motivations for using Twitter and their job-related activities on Twitter are associated with relational satisfaction with the public.     

微文化背景下大学生思想政治教育研究

随着微文化的不断发展,全国各地大学生的沟通交流方式越来越趋向于网络流行化。就现实角度而言,微文化动摇了高校思想政治教育的权威性,对传统思政教育的模式以及内容皆产生了一定的冲击,增加了高校思政教育者的难度,弱化了学生对主流价值观的认同。文中首先就微文化进行简要概述,其次针对微文化背景下的大学生思政教育提出有效的策略。     

Reliability and validity of the Myotest® for measuring running stride kinematics

Accelerometer-based systems are often used to quantify human movement. This study’s aim was to assess the reliability and validity of the Myotest® accelerometer-based system for measuring running stride kinematics. Twenty habitual runners ran two 60 m trials at 12, 15, 18 and 21 km·h^?1. Contact time, aerial time and step frequency parameters from six consecutive running steps of each trial were extracted using Myotest® data. Between-trial reproducibility of measures was determined by comparing kinematic parameters from the two runs performed at the same speed. Myotest® measures were compared against photocell-based (Optojump Next®) and high-frequency video data to establish concurrent validity. The Myotest®-derived parameters were highly reproducible between trials at all running speeds (intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC): 0.886 to 0.974). Compared to the photo-cell and high-speed video-based measures, the mean contact times from the Myotest® were 34% shorter and aerial times were 64% longer. Only step frequency was comparable between systems and demonstrated high between-system correlation (ICC ≥ 0.857). The Myotest® is a practical portable device that is reliable for measuring contact time, aerial time and step frequency during running. In terms of validity, it provides accurate step frequency measures but underestimates contact time and overestimates aerial time compared to photocell- and optical-based systems.     

男子与女子足球比赛运动战进球特征对比

采用文献资料、录像分析、数理统计等方法对2010年男足世界杯、2011年女足世界杯、2014年男足世界杯、2015年女足世界杯运动战进球特征进行对比分析,探析男足比赛和女足比赛运动战进球的差异。并通过分析男足和女足比赛运动战进球特征的演化,探索足球运动的规律。研究结果表明:1)2014年男足世界杯、2015年女足世界杯进球数量均有增加,男足比赛是由于各队注重进攻所致,女足比赛则是由于部分比赛参赛双方实力差距较大所致。2)2014年男足世界杯进攻推进速度比2010年男足世界杯更快,各队更加注重进攻;2015年女足世界杯对比赛节奏的控制比2011年女足世界杯更加合理,防守对抗更加激烈。3)男足比赛和女足比赛在"运动战耗时"和"最后一传方式"这两项指标上表现出一定的"趋同性"。4)对足球比赛规律分析时要注意区分本质规律和表象规律。5)女足技战术风格"男子化"这一长期主导女足训练、比赛的理念应当予以摒弃。     

语义网络资源VerbNet研究

VerbNet是国际上近年构建的一个崭新的语义网络资源，作为计算机的动词词典，它克服了WordNet（词网）和Levin动词分类系统的一些限制，把动词词义分为几个大的范畴，为计算机语义理解提供了更好更精确的语义网络资源。     

课堂上的突发事件及应对策略

课堂是严肃的、神圣的,保持课堂教学的有序、高效是永恒的目标.但课堂上不可避免地会出现一些突发事件,有来自教师方面的,也有学生方面的,还有设备方面、自然灾害方面的等等,无论哪一方面的突发事件,都需要教师保持冷静和清醒的头脑、讲究处理的方式方法、及时沉着应对,以尽可能不影响课堂教学且有利于问题的解决为原则.无论发生什么事情,只要心中有学生,任何事情都会巧妙、妥善处理好的.课堂上突发事件的处理是一门艺术,体现着教师的综合素质.     

教育政策学视野下的中小学乱收费现象

教育领域内的乱收费现象是当前教育改革和发展中的一个热点问题。中小学乱收费屡禁不止,主要在于中小学收费政策在制定、执行以及监督管理过程中存在政策的失真等。从教育政策学的角度看,中小学乱收费现象需要从制度、体制、监督等方面加以避免、杜绝。
