Pedagogy and possibility thinking in the early years

Connecting to current work in the area of creative pedagogies, this paper reports findings of an exploratory study that sought to identify what characterises possibility thinking in young children's learning experiences and how teachers’ pedagogical practice fosters this critical aspect of creativity. It focuses in particular on pedagogy, seeking to demonstrate how approaches adopted facilitated children's possibility thinking. Possibility thinking has been conceptualised as being central to creative learning although its role, as manifest in the learning engagement of children and the pedagogical strategies of practitioners has not been fully illuminated. The co-participative research team involved in this study comprised staff in an early childhood centre, in an infant and a primary school, working collaboratively with three university-based researchers. The 12-month long segment of a longer study employed various data collection methods including video-stimulated review (VSR) to facilitate reflection, critical conversations, classroom observation, interviews and examination of planning documents. The paper illuminates the perspectives and embedded values that the teachers expressed whilst reflecting upon their practice, and highlights common pedagogical themes, including the practice of ‘standing back’, profiling learner agency and creating time and space. Particular strategies were employed by each of the teachers. These approaches appeared to foster possibility thinking in young learners. In addition, the paper considers the development of the teachers’ thinking through the phases of the research process and presents a model for conceptualising a pedagogy of possibility thinking.     

丁文江与中国早期考古学

以1928年为界，中国考古学可分为科学与历史两个阶段。早期考古学带有明显的科学化色彩，这与丁文江领导的地质调查所密不可分。仰韶文化的发现及周口店猿人遗址的发掘，奠定了中国考古学发展的坚实基础。同时，丁文江本人所具备的地质学、古生物学、人类学等领域的知识，则是促成中国早期考古学科学化的主要动力。     

小剂量尿激酶加法安明在脑梗塞早期的应用

目的 :研究小剂量尿激酶和法安明在脑梗塞早期应用的临床疗效。方法 :将 10 8例脑梗塞患者分为三组 ,分别采用小剂量尿激酶治疗 (简称尿激酶组 ) ;小剂量尿激酶加法安明治疗 (简称联合组 ) ;传统疗法 (简称对照组 )。治疗前后采用欧洲卒中评分法进行神经功能评分。结果 :治疗前各组分数无显著性差异 ,治疗后联合组 >尿激酶组 >对照组 ,差异均有显著性。联合组的卒中继续进展及再梗塞发生率明显降低。结论 :小剂量尿激酶与法安明联用能有效阻止血栓进展 ,减少再梗塞 ,有利于神经功能恢复 ,疗效显著而无明显副作用。

父母教养方式研究的新进展

父母教养方式是父母教养观念、教养行为及其对儿童情感表现的一种组合方式,反映了亲子交往的实质。本文从四个方面概括总结了该领域内研究的新进展:(1)研究范式从亲子单向决定观向亲子系统观转变;(2)研究方法从传统单一化向现代综合化转变;(3)研究内容从单纯类型化影响研究向影响教养方式的多因素研究转变;(4)研究重心由理论研究向应用研究转变。并就这些转变和已有研究带来的问题,提出了前景展望。     

先秦诸子寓言的一面旗帜——庄子寓言与其他诸子寓言的异同

先秦诸子寓言一般是为给各自观点及哲学思想做佐注,但就其讽刺现实这一客观效果来看是一致的,具有积极的批判意义。《庄子》的批判性寓言讽刺尖锐犀利,严峭峻刻,风格独特,这一点为其他诸子寓言所不及。就其文学性来看,《庄子》寓言构图宏伟奇幻,汪洋恣肆、恢弘诡谲,在先秦诸子寓言中独树一帜。     

Book matters: The effect of Cocky’s Reading Express on student performance

The literature argues that children are more likely to succeed academically if they acquire strong reading skills and a love of reading at a young age. In this paper, I evaluate an early childhood literacy program, Cocky’s Reading Express (CRE), to understand how reading events at school and the gifts of books impact learning. Combining the CRE visit records with administrative student data, I find that CRE leads to 0.02–0.03 of a standard deviation increase in statewide English Language Arts test scores among low-income students one year after the visit and find suggestive evidence that CRE improves the math scores for subgroups of students in poverty. In particular, the CRE effect varies based on locality and access to reading materials, with a larger effect on students residing in metropolitan areas or close to public libraries. However, the positive effects on low-income students diminish over time; CRE does not show impacts on the scores of students from better-off families either.

阿尔泰冲乎尔盆地花岗质岩类的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其构造意义

通过对新疆阿尔泰冲乎尔地区北缘花岗质类岩石的矿物学、岩石学及电子探针分析研究，鉴定冲乎尔盆地北缘花岗岩属斜长花岗岩．英云闪长岩系列。岩石主微量元素分析显示，花岗岩和盆地火山沉积岩具有相似的微量及稀土元素特征，表现为：准铝到弱铝过饱和的钙碱性系列，镁含量较高，Ba、Y、Nb等大离子亲石元素亏损，轻稀土富集，稀土元素分布曲线为Eu弱负异常的右倾平坦型，岩石地球化学特征显示花岗岩的物质来源可能主要来自中上地壳。用单颗粒锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年方法。测得该岩体成岩年龄为413±3.8Ma，晚于盆地火山岩436±4Ma，结合花岗岩分布及基底构造特征，认为该期花岗岩受区域南北向构造控制，冲乎尔盆地可能为早古生代火山沉积盆地，盆地岩浆岩相似的元素地球化学特征暗示它们可能具有同源岩浆演化系列的性质。该期花岗岩可能为志留纪活动大陆边缘环境下，古亚洲洋板块向西伯利亚板块俯冲，热一构造作用引起中上地壳部分熔融，在阿尔泰山及其南缘形成S型花岗岩。     

早孕妇女甲状腺激素的测定结果分析

探讨人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)是否具有垂体促甲状腺激素(TSH)样作用。方法:应用放射免疫方法(RIA)对65例旱孕妇女hCG与甲状腺激素水平进行测定。结果:早孕妇女Ⅰ组(停经35—50天)3,3’,5’-三碘甲状腺原氨酸(rT_3)水平升高,与正常对照组差异显著(P<0.01);早孕妇女Ⅱ组(停经51—80天)甲状腺素(T_4)、游离甲状腺素(FT_4)、rT_3水平均升高,与正常对照组差异显著(P<0.01);而两组早孕妇女的三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T_3)、游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸(FT_3)水平与正常对照组无明显差异(P>0.05)。结论:hCG具有TSH样作用,早孕妇女甲状腺激素水平升高为hCG促使甲状腺功能增强所致。
