A New Approach to Quality Assurance for Higher Education

This article describes the Engineering Professors' Conference (EPC) approach to quality assurance for Higher Education Institutions, which is currently the only formalized alternative to British Standard 5750 'Quality Systems'. The EPC approach is based on principles of quality assurance and Total Quality Management which have been developed in industry. These ideas are briefly outlined, and an opinion expressed on the interpretation and application of BSS7S0 for HE. The EPC model is explained, illustrated with example elements taken from the EPC Specification and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education. A top-down approach to the development of an institutional quality system is described, based on a quality policy statement. Areas of activity which have an important impact on the quality of education are identified, emphasising the quality assurance requirements of academic departments. Supporting and administrative quality system requirements are also described, as these also play an important role in the quality of education. Formal quality procedures and documentation in key areas are proposed.     

Social Perceptions of Students with Learning Disabilities Who Differ in Social Status

As a group, students with learning disabilities (LD) have social difficulties. One possible explanation for these difficulties is the unique way they process social information. Although students with LD may differ from their nondisabled peers in their social cognition, investigators have suggested the presence of subgroups within the population of students with LD who may differ in their social competence and, thereby, shed light on the source of the difficulties. The present exploratory study examined how two subgroups of students with LD in inclusive settings, students with high and low social status, perceive social situations. Using a sociometric technique, three students with LD receiving high social‐status ratings and three students with LD receiving low social‐status ratings were identified. A qualitative approach was used to gather and evaluate data from the participants and their teachers. Results suggested differences between the two subgroups in their (1) sensitivity to cues in the environment, (2) interpretation of social situations in relation to their own experiences, and (3) levels of self‐control. Implications of these findings for practice and future research are discussed.     

幼儿乳酸阈值及无氧阈心率的初步研究

对33名幼儿乳酸阈及其心率值进行测定,结果显示:3～5岁幼儿AT时血乳酸水平显著低于成人及青少年;幼儿亚极量强度运动后乳酸峰值大多出现在负荷后1min,反映了幼儿机体代谢的特异性.此实验结果可为幼儿有关生理机能和能量代谢的研究提供参数,所测得的乳酸阈心率值将为幼儿健身、减肥、增高等运动处方中运动强度控制提供科学依据.

论超文本技术在分类法编制中的应用

超文本是检索语言编制和维护理想的技术支持手段。使用超文本技术 ,可以改进分类体系中主题之间多维关系的揭示、从多个角度组织信息资源、进行轮排、设置镜像类目、动态组织分类体系以及联结不同的检索系统、联结说明与规则系统等。同时 ,应注意从超文本结构的角度重新审视原有的关于知识组织的理论、方法 ;探讨新技术方法的使用特点和规律 ;研究分类结构中整体控制问题     

关于三段论一般规则存在依据的思考

三段论理论是人类有史以来第一个真正的理论体系.选择有效式是构造三段论理论重要的一环.三段论一般规则是一种最简单实用的选择方法,但却存在理由不足的缺陷.包含关系的概念内涵之间所具有的蕴涵关系,能够单一地引申或者说充分地论证三段论全部一般规则,甚至能直接识别出三段论每一个具体的有效式,从而为采用一般规则做有效式选择标准的三段论理论提供了可靠的理论依据.

中国男子足球队大赛期间阵容完整性的研究

采用录像观察法、数理统计法和文献资料法对中国队在亚洲杯期间主力阵容与98世界杯前3强主力阵容变化进行比较研究.结果表明:98世界杯前3强队伍主力阵容在比赛期间基本保持完整,而中国队主力阵容在最后一场比赛中极不完整.研究认为:影响中国队比赛阵容完整性的主要因素是战斗性减员和非战斗性减员.建议国家队应配备体能教练和心理学、运动医学、营养学专家;加强运动员的自我保护意识,使运动损伤最小化;合理运用技术动作减少红黄牌的发生.
