Using game‐based learning to support struggling readers at home

Significant numbers of children (6% of 11‐year‐olds) have difficulties learning to read. Meanwhile, children who receive appropriate support from their parents do better in literacy than those who do not. This study uses a case study approach to investigate how digital games designed to support struggling readers in school were used at home, by the parents of six children to support their children’s literacy. Mostly, the children enjoyed playing the games and believe that it helped improve their reading. The parents all valued the opportunity to participate in their child’s learning and believe that the games’ approach to learning is effective. The study considers key influences on the successful use of games to support struggling readers (repetition, feedback, motivation, self‐efficacy, parental beliefs) and raises questions, further consideration of which might usefully inform the future development of effective game‐based learning.     

减租减息与晋冀鲁豫抗日根据地土地关系的变动

晋冀鲁豫边区各地土地集中趋势日益明显,封建剥削依然沉重,存在着减租的迫切性和实践空间。边区各战略区结合本区实际,在维护统一战线的原则下,确定减租具体政策。减租运动对边区土地关系的变动产生了积极影响。地主的土地占有比重显著下降,中农、贫农的土地占有显著增加,农业生产率相应提高。但是,由于减租斗争对地主阶级采取的是经济手段的削弱,所以土地占有状况仍然不乐观,有待通过更深入的土地改革获得实质性的解决。     

王阳明“知行合一”说的系统论分析

从系统的整体性理解王阳明“知行合一”说,可知：“知行合一”是一个由目的、手段和根据构成的有机整体;知行的本来体段就是合一的,而语言的遮蔽、私欲阻碍和析心理为二的剧场假相,使得知行分离,这三者都背离了“致良知于事事物物”的要求;个体要真正做到知行合一,就必须在事亲事君、交友治民等具体实践中,通过致良知的努力,体认知行合一的真谛,为善去恶,成就个人的德性,这样才能实现安天下之民的目的。从系统的层次性审视阳明哲学可见,阳明虽然看到了个体的知和行、德性之知和闻见之知、心的社会性和个性、道德的自觉和自愿、为学和生活等两两之间,都是一个有机整体,但受时代所限,其伦理学说系统仍然只有社会关系和伦理政治两个层次,缺少了物质生产这个根本层次,故其知行合一说的深度和说服力不够。     

Empowerment or impediment? School governance in the school-based management era in Hong Kong

Following the international trend in education towards democracy and decentralization, the Hong Kong government introduced a school-based management (SBM) system about two decades ago. It is widely recognized in the literature that decentralization, empowering school level management and marginalizing the influence of the intermediate level of governance, can result in better deployment of school resources and better meet the demands of various stakeholders. However, in the unique historical and cultural context of Hong Kong, the advantages of decentralization claimed in the literature have yet to be fully realized. This paper discusses the contextual factors affecting the implementation of SBM in Hong Kong, and examines their impact on four major stakeholders, namely the government, the principals, the teachers, and the parents in the wake of reform.     

有机马克思主义对资本主义主流价值观的五大批判

有机马克思主义出现在全球性生态危机日益严重的时代背景之下。有机马克思主义认为资本主义及其价值观是生态危机形成的根源。为了克服日益严重的生态危机,有机马克思主义对资本主义极端个人主义价值观、自由观、人权观、民主观、正义观进行了深刻的批判,还分别建构了与改良生态相适应的价值观。有机马克思主义对资本主义价值观的批判对于克服全球性生态危机、促进人类与自然的良好发展具有一定的意义,但也不能从根本上解决生态问题。

The role of technological catch up and domestic market growth in the genesis of emerging country based multinationals

The paper presents a model that evaluates how upgraded technological capabilities of emerging country based multinationals (EMNCs) and an increase in the domestic market size of large emerging countries affect value chain location choices and the competitiveness of emerging country based firms versus advanced country based ones. The model shows that, even without possessing a competitive advantage in terms of technology and/or brands, EMNCs from large or rapidly technologically advancing countries can become dominant players in the global system. The model highlights the central role of firm level technological intensity and product differentiation in determining the location of value chain activities as well as defining organisational boundaries. Empirical analysis of the location choices of the world's top multinationals from large advanced and emerging countries in 2010 supports the model's predictions.     

区域科技创业生态系统运行机制及政策仿真研究

结合复杂系统理论和科技创业理论构建了区域创业生态系统的多Agent模型,该模型通过各类科技创业相关Agent行为之间的交互作用模拟区域科技创业生态系统的演化规律,应用Netlogo对模型进行仿真,通过改变政策工具变量和各类Agent属性参数观察区域科技企业数量的变化,然后对仿真结果进行分析。研究结果发现:(1)创业政策实施需要一定的时间,急功近利的措施可能会破坏科技创业生态系统的正常运行。(2)中介服务机构和创业金融机构数量的增加有利于促进区域科技创业活动。(3)政府对PE/VC等金融机构的风险补偿优于对科技创业家的直接补贴。(4)良好的创业教育和区域产学研合作网络有利于区域科技创业生态系统的良性发展。     

Grade 7 Students Reading Graphic Novels: ‘You Need To Do a Lot of Thinking’

A multifaceted, classroom‐based research project explored how developing Grade 7 students’ knowledge of literary and illustrative elements affects their understanding, interpretation and analysis of picturebooks and graphic novels, and their subsequent creation of their own print texts. Analysis of two sources of data, the students’ written responses to Amulet ( Kibuishi 2008 ), one of the graphic novels read and discussed during the study, and the students’ opinions about the knowledge that is required to read and understand a graphic novel, indicated how the instruction about various graphic novel conventions had impacted the students’ awareness of and knowledge about the structural design of these multimodal texts.
