Rural classroom environments as contexts for teacher-child relationships

The authors examined the associations between observed classroom management and teacher-child relationships with individual children during kindergarten and Grade 1. We used a sample of nonstruggling and struggling readers and their teachers in rural schools in the Southeastern United States to examine whether gender and struggling reader status explained associations between classroom management and conflictual or close teacher-child relationships. After controlling for child- and teacher-level characteristics, results from multilevel model analyses indicated that stronger classroom management was significantly related to less teacher-rated conflict, but was not related to teacher-rated closeness. Gender was a significant moderator, with boys who were in classrooms with lower levels of classroom management having poorer teacher-child relationships as rated by their teachers. Struggling reader status was not a significant moderator of the association between classroom management and teacher-child relationships.     

Creating Respectful Classroom Environments

Creating respectful classroom environments Respect is a critical variable in education. It is critical to each individual child in the classroom environment as well as to the teaching and learning that takes place in the classroom. Children learn by example. Where do they get their examples? This article explores the parameters of teaching and encouraging respect in classrooms for young children. Emphasis is placed on the creation of respectful classroom environments taught by teachers who have themselves been prepared to nurture this kind of environment.

Does the Affiliation of Universities to External Organizations Foster Diversity in Private Higher Education? Chile in Comparative Perspective

The expansion of private sectors of higher education has usually been regarded as a factor of diversification in higher education systems. Some of this differentiation has been found to arise from the affiliation of private institutions with organizations outside the field of higher education. This article reports the results of a study of this form of interorganizational relationship in private universities in Chile. Cases include universities founded or sponsored by religious, business and military organizations. A typology of private universities is proposed, on the basis of the forms affiliation (or its absence), was observed to take in the cases examined. Weak and strong forms of affiliation are described, and affiliated universities are compared to “proprietary” universities, i.e., those owned by individuals who govern them from their positions in the board of directors, and “independent” universities, in which governance lies with internal – academic or administrative – constituents. Albeit derived from the case of Chile, the typology could be applied to the analysis of private higher education in other national systems. The second part of the article seeks to ascertain whether affiliation operates as a source of differentiation in Chilean private higher education. Results show that, compared to the other types of private universities, the affiliated ones possess distinctive mission statements and declarations of principles, consistent with the orientations of their sponsor institutions, they tend to be smaller, and to have more full-time and better qualified faculty. Some receive financial support from their sponsor organization or its members. Distinctiveness was not found in indicators of prestige and student selectivity, nor in tuition levels, program offerings, curriculum design, the weight of research and graduate programs in their functions, student socioeconomic profile, and faculty involvement in governance. This is not to say that there are no differences in these dimensions among private universities: much diversity exists, but most of it cuts across all categories of interest for our study. Overall, affiliation does not appear to be a strong factor behind the diversification that exists in the Chilean private university sector.     

试析冷战后中美关系的发展趋势

冷战结束以后，中美关系失去“向苏看”的特点，进入了一个新的时期．中国的崛起引起了美国的特别关注。美国对中国采取“接触加遏制”的政策，而中国则采取积极主动的应对措施，从而使两国关系形成了一些新的特征并给双方带来了影响．中美双方应当在和平共处五项原则的基础上扩大双方的合作，以塑造一种稳定、和谐与共赢的中美关系．

沙蜥属13种蜥蜴基于16S rRNA序列的系统发生关系

通过比较13种鬣蜥科沙蜥属蜥蜴的16S rRNA部分序列，并以同科的长鬣蜥属长鬣蜥为外群构建NJ树、ML树和MP树，以探讨该属13种蜥蜴的系统发生关系．PAUP分析结果显示这13种沙蜥分成两个类群，呈并系关系，并且NJ树的结果与ML树和MP树划分结果不同．而MEGA结果支持基于形态学、生态环境和核型分析对该13种的沙蜥的划分，同时NJ树中的13种沙蜥属单系群、     

“大五”模型与亲密关系中的伴侣人格结构探微

Horney,Sullivan和Rogers等临床心理学家很早发现亲密关系对心理健康有重要作用。20世纪70年代末,社会心理学家开始了亲密关系的研究。大量研究表明伴侣的人格特质是亲密关系的众多影响因素之一,父母教养方式、依恋类型和归因风格对伴侣间的亲密关系起调节作用。作为人格分类理论的“大五”模型能够较好描述和解释伴侣的人格结构,并通过NEO-PI五因素调查表对伴侣的人际行为作出预测。
