Which feedback is more effective for pursuing multiple goals of differing importance? The interaction effects of goal importance and performance feedback type on self-regulation and task achievement

This study examined how performance feedback type (progress vs. distance) affects Korean college students’ self-regulation and task achievement according to relative goal importance in the pursuit of multiple goals. For this study, 146 students participated in a computerised task. The results showed the interaction effects of goal importance and performance feedback type on self-regulation and task achievement. Specifically, the participants in high goal importance conditions who received distance feedback showed higher self-regulation of metacognition (goal setting), motivation-emotion (efforts investment, task enjoyment) and task achievement (task completion time, task score) than those who received progress feedback. In addition, effort investment and task enjoyment increased in the latter part of the task for the participants in high goal importance conditions who received distance feedback, whereas they decreased for those who received progress feedback. However, the opposite results were shown for the participants in low goal importance conditions.

为解决FlexRay线控转向系统中常见的死锁问题,采用优先级置顶算法进行多任务动态调度。首先,分析FlexRay线控转向系统多任务动态调度过程中的死锁问题|然后深入研究优先级置顶算法防止死锁问题的原理|最后搭建双通道多冗余的FlexRay线控转向系统,进行重要系统参数配置。运行结果表明,未使用优先级置顶算法的FlexRay线控转向系统出现了死锁现象,使用优先级置顶算法进行动态任务调度之后,系统可正常运行,证明了算法有效性。     

Dot-to-dot practice enhances Children's handwriting: The advantage of a multi-session training protocol

Handwriting instruction commonly involves the practice of non-linguistic writing-like patterns. Here, we compare the transfer to Arabic sentence-writing of different practice scheduling of the Invented Letter Task (ILT), a simple dot-to-dot connecting task, aiming to decide best-practice scheduling. Ninety-seven 7- to 8-year-old public-school Arab Israeli second-graders were assigned randomly, within-class, to five study groups: three single-session practice groups (different amounts, with 60/180/360 repetitions), a 360-repetition multi-session practice group (distributed across four days), and an untrained control group. Handwriting was assessed at pre-training, 24-h, and 4–5 weeks post-training. The findings revealed that by 4–5 weeks post-training all the practice groups wrote more fluently or accurately than the control group. The multi-session practice group's handwriting performance was advantageous to that of the other groups, being more fluent than the other groups and more legible than the control group. The findings suggest that practicing simple grapho-motor tasks may enhance handwriting abilities.     

社会心理层面精神文明建设的几个问题

作为一种社会现象，社会心理反映社会生活的直观性浅表性、作用于社会生活的直接性、影响社会生活的广泛性的特点，决定了它是两个文明之间相互作用、辩证运动的中介。随着我国现代社会经济制度从计划体制向市场体制的转型和现代科技的迅速发展及其在社会生产生活中的广泛作用，现代中国人的社会心理出现了两大变化趋向，即转型期社会心理问题和科技社会心理问题。这给社会主义精神文明建设提出了新课题、新任务。社会主义精神文明建设应当在弘扬积极健康的社会心理，克服治疗消极的社会心理，建设良好的社会心理环境等方面多做工作，做好工作，促进两个文明的协调发展和社会的全面进步。、

“You have to know the past to (blog) the present:” Using an Educational Blog to Engage Students in U.S. History

In this study the authors investigate whether a whole-class educational blog could facilitate culturally relevant instruction and authentic intellectual work in U.S. history. Qualitative data were collected and analyzed that included student comments posted to an educational blog, classroom observations, and follow-up interviews. Based on the analysis, the authors determined four major findings: (a) Students were able to engage in historical analysis while working in the blog environment when it was focused on a single source and included a hard scaffold; (b) when students situated the activities in relevant cultural experiences, they were able to better use their prior knowledge;(c) a variety of affordances related to blogging encouraged and supported students as they completed their work; and (d) the blogging activities were constrained by the limits of students’ literacy and historical skills, and the limits of technology.     

Shorter Method for Computing the Coefficient of Correlation

ABSTRACT

Handwriting is used throughout the school day and is important to demonstrate knowledge. This research evaluated how handwriting instructional practices and intrinsic and extrinsic factors in actual classroom settings impacted learning handwriting over the course of the school year. Findings indicated that extrinsic factors (educational instructional practices, spatial constraints) and intrinsic factors (task cognitive complexity) influenced handwriting performance, but not always in the same way for writing product and process measures. In addition, stronger relationships were found between writing process measures and handwriting fluency than legibility. Even though handwriting improved over the school year, some instructional practices resulted in a widening performance gap as the school year progressed. The impact of these findings for implementing and differentiating handwriting instruction and guiding future research is discussed.
