Thinking allowed: use of egocentric speech after acquired brain injury (ABI)

This paper explores the use of thinking aloud made by young people who have sustained a severe acquired brain injury (ABI). The phenomenon is compared with the concepts of egocentric speech and inner speech before the form of thinking aloud by pupils with ABI is examined. It is suggested that by using thinking aloud, this group of pupils is able to engage in internally persuasive dialogue and is therefore enabled to take part in classroom learning.     

Including people with disabilities: an indigenous perspective

Being victims of racial prejudice, religious intolerance, poverty, disempowerment and language loss it could be expected that indigenous people would be supportive of the Inclusion Movement with its philosophy of valuing and acceptance of all people. This supposition is examined for Māori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand. In particular, three research studies investigating Māori perspectives of intellectual disability, blindness and vision impairment, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are examined for evidence of inclusive and exclusive attitudes and practices. Findings show that while Māori participants’ opinions varied, people with intellectual disabilities, ASD, blindness and vision impairment were generally valued family members and many examples of inclusive attitudes and practices were shared. Core Māori values support Inclusion. It is proposed that incorporating these values into education and disability services will not only result in more culturally appropriate provisions for Māori but will also contribute to the greater inclusion of all disabled people whatever their ethnicity.     

Teacher Appraisal,Professional Development and School Improvement: a case study

The paper argues that in respect of the day‐to‐day work activities required in being a headteacher, and in the work relationships involved in running schools, the occupational culture of headship has changed fundamentally. Using the accounts of 20 headteachers, interviewed in respect of their career histories in 1990 and followed up by means of a postal questionnaire in 1992, the paper illustrates the changes experienced and identified by this group of heads. It is argued that a new headteacher is required; that aspects of educational leadership have diminished dramatically in the work culture of headship.     

Capturing the Nurture approach: experiences of young pupils with SEBD

In the UK, children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) may engage with the Nurture approach: a therapeutic model of educational intervention. Despite growing evidence that this approach can promote the developmental and educational attainment of these children, there has been little emphasis on how children might relate their own experiences here. In focusing on a group of young children with SEBD, this study used a combination of drawings and interviews to explore how these unique children perceived their immersion in this particular approach. Most children discerned differences in their past and present personal classroom experiences, and their understanding of the Nurture approach was of a positive nature. It is suggested that a combination of methods may be useful in helping to gauge pupil response and progress regarding this type of intervention. The benefits of acknowledging the perceptions of ‘challenging’ pupils and how this might inform future principles and practice are considered.     

舟曲儿童自我意识对创伤后应激障碍的影响分析

为了探讨创伤后应激障碍与自我意识的关系,为创伤后应激障碍的治疗方向提供依据。采用分层整群抽样的方法用儿童自我意识量表和创伤后应激障碍17项筛查问卷对舟曲县的596名学生进行问卷调查。结果显示:男、女生在行为、焦虑和合群分量表均存在极其显著性差异;除躯体外貌和属性分量表与PTSD无显著性相关外,其余分量表均与PTSD总分之间存在极其显著的负相关关系;除智力与学校情况和躯体外貌与属性分量表在PTSD等级上无显著性差异外,总分和其余分量表得分在PTSD等级上均存在极其显著性差异。加强对自我意识各维度的关注与改变,将有益于PTSD的预防和治疗。     

Brokering dialogue between secondary students and teachers to co-construct appropriate pedagogy in reduced-size classes

This study focuses on how two teachers working in reduced-size secondary classes of the same grade adapted their pedagogy as a result of a brokered dialogue between myself as researcher and 43 grade 10 students from the teachers’ classes. Research was carried out over the course of one academic year. First, students’ perspectives on studying in a reduced-size class were elicited before they were invited to suggest ways of improving the teaching and learning. These interviews were transcribed and given to the teachers of these classes. Next, these teachers were interviewed to gauge their opinions on what the students had reported in the earlier interviews. At a later stage, their teaching was observed to determine whether, and to what extent, the two teachers had attempted to incorporate changes based on the feedback from pupils. The study showed that the pupil voice is a very powerful and constructive trigger for enacting teachers’ pedagogical change and developing our understanding of students’ learning processes. Findings demonstrate that teachers responded positively to their students’ perspectives despite initial apprehensions. Implications for professional development and good practices in reduced-size classes are also presented.

大学生网络成瘾与人格特质关系研究

采用Young编制的网络成瘾量表和卡特尔16PF量表,对随机整群选取的W市三所大学的285名大学生进行调查研究,并对调查数据进行统计分析.结果发现：有24名大学生为网络成瘾者（IAD）,IAD发生率为8.4%;在IAD者中,男生比女生要多,且存在显著性差异;IAD组和非IAD组在人格特质乐群性、聪慧性、稳定性、恃强性、有恒性、怀疑性、忧虑性、试验性、自律性、紧张性等几个方面存在显著性差异（P〈0.05）;人格特质中的忧虑性、乐群性、怀疑性、紧张性等四个特质纬度对网络成瘾具有较好的预测力.结论：大学生网络成瘾率为8.4%;大学生网络成瘾人数在性别方面存在显著性差异,在专业、年级间不存在显著性差异;网络成瘾组与非网络成瘾组在乐群性、聪慧性、稳定性、恃强性、有恒性、怀疑性、忧虑性、试验性、自律性、紧张性等几个方面存在显著性差异;忧虑性、乐群性、怀疑性、紧张性等人格因子影响大学生网络成瘾.     

浅析英汉互译中被动语态的直译与意译

英语被动句形式单一,通过使用条件和表现形式上的对比分析,英语以带标记的被动句为主;而汉语则以较为复杂、多变,无标志的被动句居多。英汉被动语态的直译,英译汉时注意在谓语动词的前面加上被动词来表示被动含义,把汉译为英时,应注意主语、动词间的关系。英汉被动语态的意译,在意思不变的前提下,将英语中的被动句翻译成主动形式的汉语。汉译英时要采用各种方式特别强调接受动作人或物的重要性。为提高英汉互译中被动语态的翻译工作,注意直译和意译的结合及出现歧义和词根变化的特殊翻译。
