Sex differences in mental strategies for single-digit addition in the first years of school

Abstract

Strategy use in single-digit addition is an indicator of young children’s numeracy comprehension. We investigated Danish primary students’ use of strategies in single-digit addition with interview-based assessment of how they solved 36 specific single-digit addition problems, categorised as either ‘error’, ‘counting’, ‘direct retrieval’ or ‘derived facts’. The proportional use of each strategy was analysed as multi-level functions of school age and sex. In a first study (260 interviews, 147 students) we found decreasing use of counting and increasing use of direct retrieval and derived facts through years 1–4, girls using counting substantially more and the other two strategies substantially less than boys, equal to more than 2 years’ development. Similar results appeared in a subsequent study (155 interviews, 83 students), suggesting that the pattern is pervasive in Danish primary schools. Finally, we ask whether sex differences in strategy use is generally under-reported since many studies do not explicitly address them.     

α、β-不饱和醛、酮加成反应的研究

α、β－不饱和醛、酮分子中含有三个碳原子和一个氧原子构成的共轭体系，在共轭体系中，电荷的不均匀分布使之既可以发生亲电共轭加成反应，也可以发生亲核共轭加成反应。     

关于烯烃的游离基加成反应机理

烯烃能与溴化氢、卤甲烷、氢硫化物、醛发生游离基加成反应，烯烃自身也能发生游离基加成而聚合成高分子化合物。

关于快乐体育的反思

快乐体育引入中国已有十多年 ,对推动中国的学校体育教学改革发挥过积极的作用 ,我们不能忽视快乐体育在体育教学中的功效 ,但也不能将快乐体育的作用吹捧得太高。快乐体育应找到其自身定位 ,如此才有利于其自身发展     

Flexible Mental Calculation

The ability to be flexible in mental calculation by using a method that is efficient for calculating the particular problem being faced is an important aim of teaching in this area. Flexibility is commonly seen as arising from a rational choice between mental calculation strategies, based on the characteristics of the problem faced. In this article it is argued that strategy choice is a misleading characterisation of efficient mental calculation, and that teaching mental calculation methods as wholes is not conducive to flexibility. An alternative is proposed in which calculation is thought of as an interaction between noticing and knowledge, and an associated teaching approach to promote flexibility is described.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

再论"直接适用的法"与公共秩序保留

直接适用的法是国际私法中一项新的制度。学者们对于它与公共秩序之间的关系，时至今日仍未达成一致的意见。对两者的界定开始，分别将直接适用的法与直接的公共秩序和间接的公共秩序进行比较，分析直接适用的法与公共秩序的联系，可以看出，虽然直接适用的法与传统的公共秩序存在很多相似之处，但仍有别于传统的公共秩序，因其特殊的制度价值，而独立于公共秩序制度发挥独特的作用。     

论语境和临时性义素的增加

语境是言语交际不可或缺的前提条件，它对词义有重要的制约作用。本文着重考察了语境赋予词的临 时性意义的几种情况，使人们对语境和词义的关系有更清楚，更自觉的认识，从而使我们在言语交际过程中中提高适应语境的能力，以求更好的表达效果。     

以核心问题引领让有效学习发生--“5以内的加法”教学设计及反思
