A cross-cultural comparison of numeracy skills using a written and an interactive arithmetic test

This study applied two arithmetic tests, one written and one one computer-based interactive, to samples of primary school children from two populations, one suburban non-Aboriginal and one rural Aboriginal. The results from the written test were significantly (p?&;lt;?0.001) better for the non-Aboriginal children than for the Aboriginal children. This was not the case with the results from the computer-based interactive test. The study used Rasch-based methodology to reduce the results from the two tests to a common scale, to ascertain whether the Aboriginal children performed better (in relation to the non-Aboriginal children) in the computer-based than in the written test. The study found that this was the case, and concluded that the results from the computer-based test exhibited less cultural bias against the Aboriginal children than the written test.     

英语听力策略训练的实证研究

本实验由140名大学生参加,其目的旨在测定课堂听力教学的有效性,并对课堂听力进行针对性的诊断式策略训练,以便弄清这种诊断式训练是否比学生自己随机自我学习更有利于提高学习者的听力理解水平。在进行策略训练的试验开始之前和之后,分别对两个小组进行了测试。统计数据显示,①实验前后对比,非实验组平均成绩提高6．3分;实验组平均成绩提高13．8分。②实验后,两组进行对比的独立样本T检验,平均成绩均差显著水平值达到统计显著意义。（3）两组分别与自己实验前平均成绩相比,配对样本检验的均差显著水平值分别达到统计显著意义。实验组取得的成绩更为显著：统计量t值为27．2;而非实验组统计量t值仅为11．7。检验结果启示,课堂听力策略诊断式训练有其必要性,它能更为有效地提高学习者听力理解能力,促进自主学习能力的培养。     

The Interactive Teaching in College English Listening Practice

This paper discusses about how to enhance the interaction of teaching in College English Listening class,thus to change the single teaching situation and stimulate the students’interest in English learning and mobilize the students’enthusiasm for learning,so that it can make sure that each section of the listening class really has a good teaching result.     

黑盒测试方法探讨

功能测试是软件产品质量保证的最后屏障,很多应用程序由于进度的逼紧,而没有按照常规的质量保证那样实施。但是,最后的功能测试仍是必须的。而功能测试也叫黑盒测试,其测试用例的设计是很多测试人员的基本功,为此主要介绍了几种常见的黑盒测试用例的设计方法。     

军用软件的黑盒测试方法综述

在对军用软件进行功能测试时,通常采用黑盒测试方法,常用的黑盒测试方法有等价类划分法、边界值分析法、错误猜测法、因果图法和场景法等。在设计测试用例时针对实际军用软件综合应用这几种黑盒测试方法。

Evaluating epistemic uncertainty under incomplete assessments

The thesis of this study is to propose an extended methodology for laboratory based Information Retrieval evaluation under incomplete relevance assessments. This new methodology aims to identify potential uncertainty during system comparison that may result from incompleteness. The adoption of this methodology is advantageous, because the detection of epistemic uncertainty – the amount of knowledge (or ignorance) we have about the estimate of a system’s performance – during the evaluation process can guide and direct researchers when evaluating new systems over existing and future test collections. Across a series of experiments we demonstrate how this methodology can lead towards a finer grained analysis of systems. In particular, we show through experimentation how the current practice in Information Retrieval evaluation of using a measurement depth larger than the pooling depth increases uncertainty during system comparison.     

影响听力理解的文化因素及教学对策

中国学生学习英语时,影响他们听力理解的因素是多方面的。词汇量不足,对某些语言结构没有完全掌握或对英美文化缺乏一定的认识,这些都会对他们听懂英语造成障碍。本文从语言与文化的关系入手,主要通过分析听力理解中的教学实例,说明文化因素对听力理解造成的障碍及提出一些相应的教学对策。     

普通话水平测试的等级与量化
