ISM-CMAP-Combine (ICMC) for hierarchical knowledge scenario in quality engineering education

Quality assurance in engineering education is a multifaceted problem further augmented by the stakeholders of engineering education. Students, parents and employers are rightfully questioning the quality of the curriculum, the instructional delivery, the learning environment, accessibility to learning technologies and equipment, employability as well as the possibilities of lifelong learning and the improvement of knowledge (Karapetrovic 2002 Karapetrovic, S. 2002. Why and how to develop a meaningful quality assurance system in engineering schools. Int. J. Engg. Educ, 18(3): 285–294. [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar]). The purpose of the study is, therefore, to identify the parameters that influence the quality of an engineering education system and develop an integrated model of hierarchical structuring and a concept map for pre-identified concept elements through a process of iterative-interactive consensus-driven methodology, as advocated by second-generation system design paradigm for evolving knowledge scenario of concepts related to quality engineering education.     

高职“异质分组合作”教学的反思研究──以南华工商学院大学英语大班授课教学实验为例

高职大学英语大班授课教学质量堪忧,合作学习理论的引人似乎为此带来了契机。该文所示的＂异质分组合作＂教学实验结果显示,该教学方法能推动班级成绩提高,尤其是对低分段学生有一定促进作用。但是,实验班成绩的提高幅度不及其中一个控制班的事实也表明,该教学方法可能有其缺陷和适用范围,还需要做出反思和深入研究。     

云南壮侗语族语言地理分布探析

云南的壮侗语族以傣族为代表,具有明显的语言特点和地域特点。它是汉藏语系小的语言群体,属于特定汉藏语系的一个语族,按语言亲缘关系的远近又具有若干语支。这些语支体现了云南语言和文化的多样性。文章主要针对云南壮侗语族的各语支的分布状态进行梳理和分析。     

团体心理辅导在专业调剂生学习动机干预中的作用

目的探讨团体心理辅导对专业调剂生学习动机的干预效果。方法设置实验组、对照组大一专业调剂生各25名,对实验组进行8次为期8周的团体心理辅导,干预前后分别评估各组专业调剂生学习动机的2个维度。结果接受团体辅导后,实验组在后测中学习动机两个维度的分数显著高于前测,对照组在学习动机前后测的分数上没有显著差异。实验组、对照组后测分数上存在显著差异。结论团体心理辅导能有效提高专业调剂生的学习动机。     

Coach humility and player creativity: The roles of knowledge sharing and group diversity

In this study, the authors examine how coach humility impacts creativity among the football players. The sample included players and their coaches from nonprofessional football clubs in Vietnam. Our data analyses supported the positive relationships between coach humility and player creativity via knowledge sharing as a mediator. Group diversity in terms of extroversion and openness to experience traits served as a moderator to fortify the effect of coach humility on knowledge sharing among the players.     

客赣方言"名词+雌/雄语素"结构不表雌雄现象探析

“名词语素 雌/雄语素”却不构成表雌雄性别的名词,这一现象在客赣方言里普遍存在。究其原因,这些雌雄语素本来自于指人的名词,有实词意义,与名词语素组合为新词后,起初仍保留实词意义,后来逐渐虚化为标志性语素了。这类词语从一开始并不表示雌雄,但是命名之初,雌雄语素的选择体现了人们把性别意识迁移于其他事物的特殊文化心理。     

AutoCAD中标注表面粗糙度的方法

参照GB／T131—2006的ISO表面结构标准,针对AutoCAD软件中未提供粗糙度标注的命令或工具问题．提出了利用定义块和AutoLISP语言编程两种方法,实现CAD环境下工程图样表面粗糙度符号的标注。     

秦岭自然保护区群成本效益研究(Ⅰ)——成本效益比较

本研究在秦岭自然保护区群成本效益计量研究成果的基础上,首先对秦岭自然保护区群的保护成本及效益进行了比较分析,同时修正了研究中的误差;采用利益相关者理论中的米切尔分类方法,找出了秦岭自然保护区群的成本承担者及效益分享者,并对其进行比较分析;最后文章对成本一效益进行进一步分析及发展趋势预测。研究结果表明：经过调整后的综合效益约为234亿元,其中生态效益约为188亿元;经济效益约为34亿元;社会效益约为12亿元;综合效益成本比为7．88。在成本效益比较分析表明保护区周边社区承担了过多的成本且产生了负效益,这也是引起社区与保护区矛盾最根本的原因。研究认为,随着国家社会经济的发展,保护区群的综合效益会呈上升趋势,国家有关部门应建立健全生态效益补偿机制。     

Inter-religious feelings of Sunni and Alevi Muslim minorities: The role of religious commitment and host national identification

This paper examines inter-religious attitudes from the perspective of Muslim minorities living in Western Europe. We examine both Sunni and Alevi Muslims of Turkish origin living in Germany and the Netherlands, and focus on their global feelings towards multiple religious out-groups (Christians, Jews, Muslim out-group, and non-believers). We hypothesize that Sunnis would dislike religious out-groups more than Alevis, and that these group differences in religious out-group feelings can be explained by group differences in host national identification and the three B’s of religious commitment: belonging (religious identification), behaviour (religious practices), and belief (liberal values). Sunnis were found to be rather negative towards Alevis, and Alevis were even more negative towards Sunnis. Furthermore, as expected, Alevis had more positive feelings towards Christians, Jews and non-believers, and this was related to their stronger host national identification, lower religious group identification, lower involvement in religious practices, and stronger endorsement of liberal values. We conclude by pointing at the need to distinguish between subgroups of Muslims instead of treating them as a uniform collective.     

Help that hurts? Perceptions of intergroup assistance

The current research, guided theoretically by the Intergroup Helping as Status Relations Model, explored how high and low status groups (Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs) perceive offers of help from the high to the low status group. Ninety-three Arab and Jewish participants were asked to imagine and evaluate offers of help from Jews to Arabs in Israel. Consistent with the hypothesis that members of high and low status groups would have different perspectives and goals in their relations, Israeli Arabs viewed help by Israeli Jews more as a way to reinforce existing hierarchy and as a way of asserting the higher groups’ domination. Recognizing the different orientations of members of high and low status groups to potentially conciliatory actions, such as helping behavior, can enhance understanding of the dynamics of intergroup relations and conflict and reveal factors that might fuel intergroup misunderstandings and tensions, which can represent a critical step to improving intergroup relations.
