Factors that deepen or attenuate decline of science utility value during the middle school years

Utility value is associated with positive learning outcomes in science and is often used to motivate engagement in the sciences, but less is known about what influences its development and maintenance, particularly during the critical middle school years. Using multinomial regression applied to longitudinal data from approximately 2600 middle-school students, we test the relationship of science classroom experiences (affective engagement, behavioral-cognitive engagement, & perceived success) and optional formal and optional informal experiences to changes in science utility value. Furthermore, we address whether the same factors that predict growth in utility value also predict absence of decline. Overall, we find all five factors are associated with changes in utility value, but some have different relationships with growth vs. decline outcomes. These findings provide a more nuanced view of factors associated with utility value towards science (both in and out of the science classroom), as well as practical implications for educational practice.     

王国维文艺思想中的审美现代性因素

王国维的文艺思想是以十九世纪末西方哲学为基础的,将西方审美现代性的精神渗透到文艺思想中去,主要表现在其"无用之用"、"无我之境"、"不隔"等理论中蕴藏着审美现代性的因素,标志着中国美学由古典向现代转型。     

为功利主义之自私的辩护

功利主义的合理性是建立在时代前提之下对宗教禁欲主义的反对和批判,这是其表面上主张个人幸福而实际上是集体幸福的前提。功利主义主张的大多数人的功利是对个人的独立性的重视和对集体主义的摈弃,而其合理性还在于功利主义揭示了人性中趋利和向善这一本质的统一。     

论"逆向教学法"的优势所在

“逆向教学法”就是把完整技术分为前后几个动作,由后面动作开始由后往前进行教学。实验证明合理采用“逆向教学法”可提高教学效果,其原因在于：在许多情况下“会做”或者说“心里有了”后面的动作．有利于前面动作的形成这样一种“后因前果”的存在。由“后因”而导致出的“前果”是不自觉的,实际上是无意识心理活动的体现。利用“后因前果”实际上就是利用了人的无意识心理活动。把利用意识和无意识心理活动相结合是提高教学效果的有效途径。     

不确定因素对金融资产配置影响机制的研究

对资产配置的理论和方法进行梳理与评价的基础上,本文揭示了宏观经济因素与微观金融市场的相关性,把不确定因素对金融资产优化配置的影响纳入到定量的研究框架。针对资产管理者不同效用偏好,研究了相关不确定因素对最优资产配置策略的影响机制,对资产持有者在非传统效应偏好下,市场的均衡价格系统进行了理论分析。通过对集权决策偏好与分权决策偏好的比较研究,给出了由于分权决策导致的整体效用损失分析,对大型投资机构的资产优化配置提供了一种策略。对于通胀周期不同阶段对资产配置效率的论证,给出了通过证券市场调整资产配置的建议。     

从教育属性视角辨析现代大学制度与现代企业制度

高等教育的公共属性(公益性)和私利属性(产业性)是客观存在的,高等教育首先是公益性事业,但也是一种准公共产业,却不能以营利为目的。现代大学制度是借用现代企业制度的概念而提出并高校系统特殊性相结合的,内涵在实践中不断得到丰富和发展的一个动态概念。     

基于效用的高校馆用户信息检索路径选择机制

印本和电子期刊已成为高校师生获取信息的主流渠道,二元并存格局的形成有其客观必然性。以此为前提,根据经济学中的边际效用价值论,依照检索用户效用需求固有的特点,分析其在信息检索过程中面临的约束条件和检索路径选择机制,从而找到提高用户效用值的路径。     

Systemic technology innovation management and analysis of other forms of IP protection

Industry 4.0 and the pandemic have caused recent changes in innovative development, economic situations, and restrictions in various companies and regions of the world, with new stricter legislation related to working conditions, hygiene standards, and health requirements. New technologies are a challenge to the transformation of problem companies and regions, as they often significantly impact economic development. Technological emissions, growing information on dementia among young people, cyber risks, and the risks of so-called advanced technologies (e.g., bio- and nanotechnologies, Industry 4.0 tech) may raise societal concerns about technological progress. This study is part of our long-term research into technological innovation in different companies and regions. Its primary goal is to methodically emphasize the importance and role of the systemic management of technological innovation in companies and regions and analytically compare the innovation success of differently developed regions from a global perspective¹. This research deals with an important aspect of technology management, namely, the processes of technological identification and the protection of related intellectual property (IP). The primary research question is: How has technological development been distributed across different regions over the last two decades? We hypothesize that Asian countries are increasingly moving away from Europe and North America in terms of technological innovation, other forms of technological IP protection, and overall access to innovation, while the focus is on the development of three non-patent forms of technological innovation protection: industrial designs, trademarks, and utility models. The results of our study reveal a significant difference in the approach to technological innovation management and the form of IP protection between so-called advanced and problem companies and regions. This study was conducted between 2018 and 2022.     

Effects of tactile stimulation and gross motor movement on cognitive learning: A test of Montessori's muscular movement theory in the college classroom

Research investigating the management styles of male and female supervisors is mixed. In an effort to clarify this research, the present study examined the interaction effect of gender of supervisor and gender of subordinate on perceived mentoring. Results revealed the least amount of mentoring occurred between female supervisors and female subordinates, but the greatest mentoring took place between female supervisors and male subordinates. Results were explained in terms of managerial experience and the double‐bind of female managers. These findings challenge the traditional advice that female subordinates should seek female supervisors.     

“问题”小说的延续与转化——论解放区文学的问题主义表现

"解放区"文学中的"问题"小说以赵树理与丁玲的作品为代表.此时的"问题"小说与"五四"时期的"问题"小说一样具有鲜明的社会功利性.它们往往注重对社会问题的揭示,而忽视创作的艺术性追求,从而影响了小说的审美价值.不同的是,"五四"问题小说多偏重于主观出发的自发功利意识;而"解放区"文学中的"问题"小说则从不同方面论证了一种体制文学的诞生,显示出一种带有客观强制性的功利意识.
