Peer and teacher supports in relation to motivation and effort: A multi-level study

This study examined adolescents’ perceptions of peer and teacher supports in relation to internalized values, academic self-efficacy, efforts to learn, and goal orientations at the individual and classroom level in a sample of middle school (n = 169) and high school (n = 71) students from 6 schools (15 classrooms). Novel approaches to assessing classroom-level effects included use of coefficient of variation scores to capture consensus among student reports and use of cluster-robust standard errors to account for clustering. At the individual level, significance tests for indirect pathways and formal mediation indicated that relations between perceived peer expectations for prosocial behavior and effort and mastery orientation were mediated by internalized value; and, the relation between perceived emotional support from peers and effort was mediated by self-efficacy. At the classroom level, teachers who were perceived similarly by students with respect to provisions of emotional support also tended to have students who reported high levels of internalized value, and a high degree of student consensus concerning their teacher’s value for subject matter was related positively to their internalized value and effort. Consensus of student reports concerning internalized value was a negative predictor of performance orientation.     

SOS儿童村孤儿教育初探

SOS儿童村自1985年进入中国,已经是家喻户晓。其独特的抚养方式,重新给予了孩子家庭的温暖。让他们在离开儿童村后能够真正融入社会、独立生活,是国际SOS组织提出的培养、教育孩子成功的检验标准。德育,是SOS儿童村孩子教育的主体工作内容,本文就齐齐哈尔SOS儿童村德育的具体实践加以分析、总结,对我国10所儿童村中的全体SOS孩子的德育具有现实意义。     

Adolescents’ autonomous functioning and implicit theories of ability as predictors of their school achievement and week-to-week study regulation and well-being

Research on students’ motivation has mainly focused on interpersonal differences rather than on the ongoing, intrapersonal dynamics that forge students’ everyday life. In this five-month longitudinal (diary) study, we recruited a sample of 179 high school students from Greece (35.8% males; M_age = 16.27; SD = 1.02) to investigate through multilevel analyses the ongoing dynamics of students’ motivation. We did so by examining the relation between autonomous functioning and aspects of study regulation (namely, study efforts and procrastination) and well-being (namely, subjective vitality and depressive feelings). After controlling for perceived competence, we found week-to-week autonomous functioning to relate positively to study efforts and subjective vitality and negatively to procrastination and depressive feelings. Interestingly, implicit theories of ability - the degree to which one believes that ability is fixed or amenable - were found to moderate the week-to-week relations of autonomous functioning to study efforts and homework procrastination. In particular, autonomous functioning co-varied positively to study efforts and negatively to homework procrastination only among students who believed that ability is malleable. Also, beliefs that ability is fixed predicted poorer grades, lower mean levels of study efforts, and higher homework procrastination. The results underscore the necessity of taking a more dynamic view when studying motivational phenomena and the importance of jointly considering the implicit theory framework and self-determination theory.     

The Combined Effects of Instructor Communicative Behaviors,Instructor Credibility,and Student Personality Traits on Incivility in the College Classroom

This study investigated the combined role of instructor communication variables (nonverbal immediacy and self-disclosure), instructor credibility (competence, caring, and trustworthiness), and student personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness) in predicting students’ uncivil behaviors in class. A total of 406 students completed online questionnaires regarding the instructor of the class they attended prior to the one in which the study was administered. Personality and instructor behavior variables contributed approximately equally to explaining variance in student incivility. Students’ conscientiousness and agreeableness had direct negative relationships with incivility, whereas instructors’ amount and negativity of self-disclosure had direct positive relationships with incivility.     

基于语义和引用加权的文献主题提取研究

[目的/意义]传统的文献主题提取方法主要是通过关键词、摘要、全文等提取文献的主题内容,使得主题内容不全面或存在"噪音",而从文献内容语义出发,结合引用内容提取文献的主题,能够更加准确地提取出多文档的主题内容。[方法/过程]提出一种面向多文档的基于语义和引用加权的科技文献主题提取算法,利用文献的引用内容和关键词构建Labeled-LDA主题模型,形成文档-主题概率向量,再根据K-means聚类方法聚类文档,提取每类文档集的主题内容。[结果/结论]以PubMed生物医学数据库中的数据作为实验数据,测试该方法的可靠性,结果证明该方法能够准确、全面地提取出多文档的主题内容。     

论"万里模式"

“万里模式”在宏观高等教育体系方面的特点是从既不同于国立高校,又不同于一般意义上的民办高校两个侧面体现出来的,它是国立高校的拓展,又是对民办高校的完善;“万里模式”的办学理念是“以生为本,以师立校,面向市场,国际接轨”。“以生为本”是办学之纲。“万里模式”的办学机制是与其全新的办学体制密不可分的,推动这一机制运行的是以万里精神为核心的“文化力”,这一机制形成的关键是将市场经济的规则引入到高校管理内部。     

卢瑟福模型中电子运动分析

关于卢瑟福模型中电子的运动是加速还是减速,不同文献给出不同描述,甚至是截然相反的描述.本文分别从能量和力的角度定量、定性地分析了卢瑟福模型中电子的运动情况,得出了卢瑟福模型中电子绕原子核旋转、辐射能量时作加速运动的结论.     

政治文化视野中的"样板戏"

“样板戏”是特殊历史年代的政治产物,无论从情节、题材、内容的选择上,还是人物形象的塑造上看,“样板戏”都带有深重的意识形态烙印。从政治文化的角度来审视“样板戏”的生成、发展、改编的过程,可以为反思这一艺术形式提供广阔的批评视野。     

以"霍尔模式"解读跨文化交际中的传播与接受

通过斯图尔特.霍尔所提出的3种假设解码立场,即著名的"霍尔模式",将研究从原来的大众传媒"电视文本"研究主题推移至跨文化交际过程中广义文本的信息传递与接受,来解读跨文化交际中外来文化习俗传播与接受状况。文章通过选取有代表性的案例进行调查,得出样本信息并加以分析,从而破解跨文化交际中的意义传递在传送者"制码"与接受者"解码"之间的非直线关系。
