Prevalence of family violence and mental health and their relation to peer victimization: A representative study of adolescent students in Southwestern Uganda

BackgroundDespite global efforts to end violence against children in all settings, reports reveal that violence against children is still highly prevalent, especially in low-and middle- income countries. Violence in childhood is associated with a host of negative outcomes, and exposure in one setting can easily spill over to other contexts. For instance, exposure to family violence was not only related to mental health problems but also seems to be a risk factor for peer victimization.ObjectivesThe present study aimed to examine the prevalence of maltreatment within the family and adolescents’ mental health problems and their relation to peer victimization. We also aimed to gain new insights into the perceptions of adolescents concerning maltreatment within their families.MethodsData were collected from April to November 2017 in a representative sample of 702 students from 12 public secondary schools in Southwestern Uganda who responded to self-administered questionnaires.ResultsOverall, 95% of the students experienced at least one type of family violence in the past month. Students (81.3%) had endorsed some level of acceptance of violent discipline as a valid strategy in response to any misbehavior. Maltreatment within the family was related to peer victimization (β = .47) and this relation was mediated by mental health problems (0.002, 95%-CI: 0.001–0.004).ConclusionsThe results indicated a high prevalence of maltreatment within Ugandan families that was associated with peer victimization. This underscores the need to implement interventions aiming to reduce maltreatment and violence in order to protect children from potentially negative consequences.     

The role of cultural values in teacher and student self-efficacy: Evidence from 16 nations

Data from a large study (PISA, 2015) involving more than 132,000 children and 22,000 of their teachers, in 16 nations, were used to investigate how teachers convey self-efficacy to students when they teach and whether this is culturally grounded. Using a multilevel data analysis framework, we aimed to: (1) test a path linking teacher and student self-efficacy; (2) examine teaching practices as mediators of the links between teachers and student self-efficacy; (3) evaluate the moderating roles of cultural values on those links. Results indicated that teacher and student self-efficacy were linked indirectly through the use of teaching practices, more strongly through inquiry-based practices. We found cross-cultural differences on the associations between student-perceived teaching practices and student self-efficacy that were moderated by two country-level cultural values: individualism and uncertainty avoidance. This study highlights that, although academic self-efficacy is considered universal, we found cultural differences in its sources and manifestations.     

SP口头反馈对医学生OSCE成绩影响初探

方法:将考生随机分为两组,实验组先进入有SP反馈的长站,再进入没有SP反馈的短站;时照组先进没有SP反馈的短站,后进入有SP反馈的长站.同时使用问卷调查学生对SP反馈的正确性和帮助大小的看法.结果:对照组和实验组的SP短站成绩差异无显著性,第一SP长站和第二SP长站间的成绩差异有显著性.问卷调查结果显示,90%的学生积极评价SP反馈.结论:SP反馈有助于提高相同结构和相同任务站点的成绩,但对于不同结构不同任务站点的成绩影响还需要进行更严格的设计的研究.     

大学教育目标如何在学生评教中得到体现——以24所世界著名大学为例

学生评教是国内外大学普遍采用的改善教育质量的手段。本文在终结型——发展型教育目标的理论框架下,整理并考察世界一流大学的学生评教指标,实证分析评教指标背后所体现的大学教育目标及模式。研究发现,国外大学的学生评教与教育目标之间具有一贯性,其指标设计同时融合了终结型和发展型取向的评教内容,后者略占优势;在地区差异上,欧洲大学偏向于发展型的教学目标,而亚太大学中终结型模式仍然表现强势。分析结果也提示我们,应更深入地理解国外大学评教指标,促进学生评教与教育目标的整合性,推动先进教学模式的形成,从而提高我国大学学生评教的有效性。     

甘肃省民营企业家族制经营及与现代企业法治的契合

甘肃民营企业处于快速发展期,大多实行家族制经营,认为符合甘肃民营企业发展现状和经营机制需求,但随着企业规模的逐渐扩大,需要不断进行经营管理上的优化。改进途径是实行股权社会化、管理专业化和治理结构上的规范化,以期与现代企业制度的宗旨和内涵相契合,弥补家族制管理模式的缺陷,渐进性和选择性的调整家族制企业治理结构。     

《杨家府演义》对史家价值体系的吸纳与重构

《杨家府演义》在自觉与史家价值体系接轨的同时,融入世俗社会崇尚的江湖价值选择,呈现出与早期历史演义不尽一致的二元价值取向：戍边主将杨六郎对忠孝节义等传统儒家道德规范的自觉认同与忠实践履,明显承袭《三国演义》所确立的正统史家观念;盂良、焦赞等绿林人士的行为方式则受到《水浒传》建构的江湖价值体系的直接影响;在杨家一门5代身上,同样可以明显勾勒出儒家文化与江湖文化逐渐融合的基本轨迹。     

第五轮学科评估视域下高校学生工作的重点及改进路径

学科评估是促进我国高校学科与世界一流大学学科接轨的重要手段,也是结合中国实际发展中国特色学科体系的重要指南,对推动高等学校学科聚合发展具有指挥棒的作用。随着高等教育的迅速发展,第五轮学科评估在思想政治教育、国际化交流、人才培养质量、就业和职业发展等方面设置的比重越来越大,学生工作作为学科建设的重要组成部分,应引起高校的高度重视,应围绕学科建设将学生工作的主要内容体现在学科评估的具体指标体系中,打造标志性成果,为学科的全面协调发展提供重要支撑。     

学生发展：本科教学质量监测评估的新视角

中国高等教育规模经历超常规扩张后,质量成为核心议题。监测评估是国际通行的质量保障方式之一。我国目前的高等教育质量监测评估偏重于资源或投入性指标,对人才培养的过程和人才培养成果的监测尚待进一步完善。文章探讨学生发展理论及其在高等教育评估中的应用,通过专家调查法等研究方法建立了一套基于学生发展的本科教学质量监测评估指标体系。从学生发展的视角,通过增值评价的路径,监测高等教育人才培养的过程和成效。     

Acculturation and academic achievement of rural to urban migrant youth: The role of school satisfaction and family closeness

China's 'tidal wave' of rural to urban migration has had a tremendous impact on the educational outcomes of its children. It remains unexplored how and when do migrant children’s experience of acculturation following arrival in the place of settlement influence their academic achievement. This study used a stratified cross-sectional sample of 2412 Chinese migrant children and adolescents aged 10–18 (Mean = 14, 45 % female) to investigate the role of school satisfaction and family closeness in the relationship between acculturation patterns and academic achievement. Acculturation patterns are derived from the bidimensional model proposed by Berry (2005). The results indicated that integration had a positive association with concurrent academic achievement. School satisfaction was a mediator between integration and academic achievement. Furthermore, the full mediation of school satisfaction was only supported when there was a high level of family closeness. Findings from this study underline the usefulness of the bi-dimensional model in understanding the individual differences in academic achievement and suggest greater attention to the cultural variations in interpersonal functioning at the family and school context.
