Investigating the role of the HLTA in supporting learning in English schools

The development of support staff was a key aspect of the Labour government’s reform of the school workforce in England. As part of this strategy approximately 25,000 Teaching Assistants (TAs) gained Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) status and were deployed in schools in a variety of roles, often operating in a quasi-teaching role. The research re-visits individuals who had acquired HLTA status between 2006 and 2009 and had participated in a questionnaire survey regarding their role at that time. A duplicate questionnaire was distributed in 2013 to 305 of these HLTAs and was followed up in 2014 by focus groups with self-selecting individuals from the original sample. To date there has been little research relating to the development of the HLTA role and the implications this has for both teachers and pupils, particularly in terms of provision for the most vulnerable learners.

Query expansion with terms selected using lexical cohesion analysis of documents

We present new methods of query expansion using terms that form lexical cohesive links between the contexts of distinct query terms in documents (i.e., words surrounding the query terms in text). The link-forming terms (link-terms) and short snippets of text surrounding them are evaluated in both interactive and automatic query expansion (QE). We explore the effectiveness of snippets in providing context in interactive query expansion, compare query expansion from snippets vs. whole documents, and query expansion following snippet selection vs. full document relevance judgements. The evaluation, conducted on the HARD track data of TREC 2005, suggests that there are considerable advantages in using link-terms and their surrounding short text snippets in QE compared to terms selected from full-texts of documents.     

关于我国研究生教育层次结构优化的若干思考

文章以阐述研究生教育层次结构优化的标准为基础,对我国研究生教育层次结构的发展现状与问题进行了定量分析,并指出了优化我国研究生教育层次结构全过程中必须注意的问题,提出从总体上控制一个合理的比例关系、实行研究生培养单位的任务分工、实施研究生教育形式的多样化、分别不同科类不同专业调整研究生教育层次等是优化我国研究生教育层次结构的基本对策。     

模因论指导下的大学英语词块教学模式探索

语言接受能力和产出能力的不平衡是困扰我国大学英语教学的难题。鉴于有效的词块教学是促进学生语言产出能力发展的重要途径,尝试以模因论为借鉴,从模因传播周期的特点出发,结合二语信息加工的过程,探索模因论指导下的大学英语词块教学模式,为切实提高大学生的英语综合应用能力提出教学新思路。     

新农村可持续发展水平评价研究——以典型区域为例

在综述了可持续发展评价领域研究现状的基础上,采取统计分析、实地调查和系统分析相结合的方法,以甘肃省天水市、辽宁省锦州市、浙江省温州市、江西省赣州市和江西省抚州市等4个典型区域、5个典型类型为研究对象,进行了新农村可持续发展水平评价研究,为协调新农村建设提供科学依据。构建了一套4级叠加,逐层递归的新农村可持续发展水平评价指标体系。指标体系由生产发展、生活保障、环境友好和社会文明4个系统、18项指标构成。采用多目标线性加权函数法,建立了评价模型,并对5个典型类型进行了实证研究。结果表明：2006年的新农村建设初始年,只有温州是高度可持续发展水平,锦州为一般可持续发展水平,赣州、抚州和天水尚处于新农村建设的低级可持续发展水平。     

国家自主创新示范区产业转型升级水平测度及其影响因素研究

国家自主创新示范区测度产业转型升级的发展水平和探析各影响因素,对于推动国家自主创新示范区的产业可持续发展、更好发挥国家自主创新示范区的高质量区域经济引领作用,意义重大。研究联合体通过产业共性技术研发带动区域产业向价值链上游转移,为研究国家自主创新示范区的产业转型升级提供了新视角。选取2014-2019年我国21个国家自主创新示范区的面板数据,基于研究联合体的视角构建涵括产业结构水平、创新驱动水平、数智赋能水平和绿色发展水平四个维度的国家自主创新示范区产业转型升级水平测度体系,利用熵权TOPSIS模型评价国家自主创新示范区产业转型升级发展水平,并运用固定效应模型寻找其发展水平的影响因素。实证分析结果显示：示范区产业转型升级平均水平为0.470,处于中等水平;水平最高的深圳与最低的乌昌石之间的差为0.545,差距较大;东部示范区整体发展水平高于中西部;南方示范区产业转型升级平均水平为0.519远高于北方的0.3932,南北方差距明显。进一步分析影响因素表明：示范区研发创新能力与产业转型升级呈正相关,研发创新通过知识发现和技术创造带动示范区产业向价值链上游转移;人才支撑能力与示范区产业转型升级呈正相关,示范区通过提升人才存量进而引发“知识外溢”效应带动产业转型升级;创新服务能力与示范区产业转型升级呈正相关,示范区通过搭建良好的企业经营环境提供完善的保障服务促进产业转型升级;经济牵引能力对产业转型升级呈正相关,示范区通过吸引资源要素聚集促进产业转型升级;示范区开放合作能力未通过显著性检验,表明整体而言开放合作跟示范区产业转型升级的关系不大。鉴于此,示范区应搭建完善的研发创新环境、打造致力产业共性技术研究的研发平台、构建研发人才体系、探索差异化的产业转型升级路径。     

产品概念交合分析的原理与案例研究

顾客或潜在顾客对新产品的效用、构成新产品的属性的重要度和各水平的效用的评价信息是制定新产品开发战略和技术策略的重要前提。为了解这些信息,目前的理论与实践通常采用的是不符合顾客实际判断环境 的综合方法,结果不理想。本文介绍一种分解法－交合分析法（Conjoint Analysis）的原理及其应用的案例。     

Bibliometric maps of field of science

The present paper is devoted to two directions in algorithmic classificatory procedures: the journal co-citation analysis as an example of citation networks and lexical analysis of keywords in the titles and texts. What is common to those approaches is the general idea of normalization of deviations of the observed data from the mathematical expectation. The application of the same formula leads to discovery of statistically significant links between objects (journals in one case, keywords — in the other). The results of the journal co-citation analysis are reflected in tables and map for field “Women’s Studies” and for field “Information Science and Library Science”. An experimental attempt at establishing textual links between words was carried out on two samples from SSCI Data base: (1) EDUCATION and (2) ETHICS. The EDUCATION file included 2180 documents (of which 751 had abstracts); the ETHICS file included 807 documents (289 abstracts). Some examples of the results of this pilot study are given in tabular form . The binary links between words discovered in this way may form triplets or other groups with more than two member words.
