提高大学生英语听力水平的合作行动研究

合作性行动研究是解决教师发展问题的有效途径,强调的是参与研究的教师由个人化、孤岛式研究走向群体合作研究。针对大学生在英语听力方面出现的问题,运用合作性行动研究的理论,探讨了一些有效方法,认为通过采取增加合适听力材料的语言输入、纠正发音等手段,可有效改进大学英语听力教学、提高大学生英语听力水平。同时大学英语教师通过合作行动,在一定程度上实现了教师自身的共同发展。     

An Examination of Factors Influencing Students Selection of Business Majors Using TRA Framework

Making decisions regarding the selection of a business major is both very important and challenging for students. An understanding of this decision‐making process can be valuable for students, parents, and university programs. The current study applies the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) consumer decision‐making model to examine factors that influence college students’ intentions to choose a business major. A total of 670 undergraduate students enrolled at a large midwestern university participated in the study. Social image, job availability, and aptitude were found to be significant factors that impact students’ decisions to select a business major. The results also reveal that family, high‐school counselors, and professors have a major influence on students’ decisions. Furthermore, some unique differences were found related to gender and decided/undecided status of students. The implications of these results for promoting different majors and future research are discussed.     

太极拳动作要领“沉肩坠肘”的解析

通过查阅相关文献资料和教学实践并运用运动解剖学和运动力学的理论知识,进一步剖析了太极拳动作要领“沉肩坠肘”的理论涵义,研究和实践表明“沉肩坠肘”动作要领可理解为,练习时肩部关节放松、下沉,胸背撑开,并有意识地使两肩胛骨向外横撑有相合之力,在保持肘窝拧裹向上的同时,肘尖下垂,不可外翻。通过对内涵和外延的剖析和理解,可以很好的对太极拳的教学和练习提供多学科的理论依据,领悟太极拳动作要领“沉肩坠肘”的内涵,使教学者和练习者更好地理解和掌握太极拳的拳理。
