"后方法时代"语言教学观与对外汉语教学法体系构建

“后方法时代”语言教学观反思传统方法概念,倡导对教师自主性和创造性的回归,主张构建一个“由下至上”,适应具体教学情景的教学实践者自身的教学理论体系。借鉴这一思想有益于对外汉语教学法体系的完善,结合“方法时代”对外汉语教学法体系构建及其存在的问题,本文主张从更广的视阈,构建一个以教师自主教学为原则的、富有个性化的对外汉语教学法体系,并提出了相应的体系构建模式原型。     

网络环境中心理学研究的特点与方法论问题

利用互联网开展心理学研究是当代心理学研究方法上的重要自我创新之一。其优势体现为:跨越时空的界限、数据收集与处理的便捷、避免研究者效应和容易实现可重复性的验证研究等。但同时这种方法也存在信息安全风险、信息解释迟缓、研究范围有限以及缺乏系统规范网络研究标准等局限。为保证网络环境中心理学研究的内、外在效度,研究者需要在技术准备、招募被试、事先核查、防止被试中途退出或重复提交以及时限控制等方法论问题上进行深入探索。     

浅谈现行统计调查存在的问题及建议

随着我国政治经济形势的发展，党和国家决策需要统计部门提供的数据越来越多。依靠以往已实行的普查、抽样调查等方法进行统计数据收集，已不能适应形势发展之需，因此，对统计调查中存在的问题必须进行分析，找出解决这些问题的办法。     

The development of the classroom social climate during the first months of the school year

In this study the mean stability of classroom social climates during the first months of the school year and the deviation of individual classrooms (N = 48) and students (N = 1208) from this general trend were investigated by taping students’ interpersonal perceptions of their teachers. Multilevel growth modeling was used to identify the average development of the classroom social climate and between classroom and student differences in terms of this development. While significant differences between classrooms and students were found, these differences were rather stable over time. Most classrooms showed a slightly u-shaped trajectory. In only very few classrooms the quality of the social climate had increased at the end of the research period as compared to the very first lesson. Differences in the development between classrooms were associated to the emotional distance between teacher and students during the first lesson of the school year.     

On the effects of motivation on reading performance growth in secondary school

This research aimed at identifying unique effects of reading motivation on reading performance when controlling for cognitive skills, familial, and demographic background. We drew upon a longitudinal sample of N = 1508 secondary school students from 5th to 8th grade. Two types of intrinsic reading motivation (reading enjoyment, reading for interest), one type of extrinsic reading motivation (competition), and reading self-concept were measured by self-report questionnaires. Cognitive skills (reasoning, decoding speed) and reading performance were assessed using standardized tests and background variables were collected using student and parent questionnaires. Applying latent growth curve modeling, positive unique effects of reading enjoyment and reading self-concept and a negative unique effect of competition on the initial level of reading performance were recorded. Moreover, a positive unique effect of reading for interest on reading performance growth was recorded. One may conclude that enhancing students’ interest might be fruitful in terms of nurturing reading performance.     

Use of the one-minute preceptor as a teaching tool in the gross anatomy laboratory

The one-minute preceptor (OMP) is a time-efficient technique used for teaching in busy clinical settings. It consists of five microskills: (1) get a commitment from the student, (2) probe for supporting evidence, (3) reinforce what was done right, (4) correct errors and fill in omissions, and (5) teach a general rule. It can also be used to address structure-identification questions in gross anatomy laboratory small-group settings. The OMP is an active learner-centered teaching approach that prepares students for a style of learning that they need to master in clinical settings, provides novice anatomy teachers with an efficient and effective teaching strategy, and moves anatomy learning beyond mere name tagging to active knowledge construction.

国际法学方法论之我见

国际法学方法论作为研究国际法的一种新角度,并非仅是国际法学方法的简单叠加,而是一个复杂的综合体系。这一体系主要包含三个方面的内容：研究者主观立场之实证主义与价值主义;研究的素材客体之学说、规则与实践;研究的阐述路径之单独路径与比较路径。只有综合分析、全面理解以上三方面的内容,才有可能从方法论角度进一步实现国际法学科的整体发展。     

Jack in two boxes: A postmodern perspective on the transformation of persons into portraits

The paper explores issues surrounding portrayal in educational research and interrogates the notion of a life as a textual product, via an analysis of two short biographical narratives which happen to portray the same person — a British primary school head teacher nearing the end of his career. The discrepancies between these two texts point to the problematic nature of the relationship between person and portrait, and make visible some of the textual devices that writers/researchers use in order to achieve coherence and authenticity in biographical narratives.     

Managing misspelled queries in IR applications

Our work concerns the design of robust information retrieval environments that can successfully handle queries containing misspelled words. Our aim is to perform a comparative analysis of the efficacy of two possible strategies that can be adopted.
