Reading Rescue: A follow-up on effectiveness of an intervention for struggling readers

The authors examined whether Reading Rescue continues to be an effective literacy intervention and factors that impact its effectiveness. Data were collected on 143 first-grade students, tutored by 104 tutors at 38 schools. There was significant growth on all foundational skills (ps?ps?d?=?1.62 sight words, d?=?1.68 oral reading/comprehension). Student-level factors of Individualized Education Program status, program completion, number of session, and invented spelling; tutor-level factors of sessions delivered and years of experience; school level factors of school size and percentage of language minority students all predicted grade-level passage or word reading (all ps?2007 Ehri, L.

Efforts should focus on ensuring program completion and increasing program exposure in neediest schools.     

Science diaries: a brief writing intervention to improve motivation to learn science

This study investigated the hypothesis that prompting students to self-assess their interest and understanding of science concepts and activities would increase their motivation in science classes. Students were randomly assigned to an experimental condition that wrote self-assessments of their competence and interest in science lessons or a control condition that wrote summaries of those same lessons. Writing activities were 10?min long and were given approximately once a week for eighteen weeks. Student motivation was assessed via self-report surveys for achievement goals and interest in science before and after the intervention. Students in the experimental condition showed higher endorsement of mastery goals and reported greater situational interest in science topics after the intervention compared to students who summarised the lessons. Increases in situational interest predicted higher individual interest in the domain. Results indicate an instructional practice requiring just 3?hours out of a semester of instruction was sufficient to achieve these effects on motivation in science classes.     

浅析大体积混凝土裂缝产生的原因及控制方法

大体积混凝土的裂缝主要有贯穿裂缝和表面裂缝。贯穿裂缝的产生主要是在降温阶段,而表面裂缝是在升温阶段和因混凝土表面失水干缩的情况下产生。根据裂缝产生的原因,施工中的控制要点为尽量减少混凝土的自身变形。同时,对混凝土的温度差和温度应力实施控制,这可通过确定合理的浇筑方法、适宜的配合比和养护方法来实现。     

邓小平法制思想浅析

邓小平法制思想是马克思主义法制理论同中国革命和建设具体实践相结合的产物，经历了一个萌芽、形成和完善的过程。20世纪初到70年代中期是其萌芽时期，于70年代后期到80年代初的改革开放初期形成，在80年代中期以后的社会主义现代化建设时期趋于成熟。邓小平法制思想内容丰富，对我国当前和今后的现代化建设具有重大的指导作用。     

试论全纳课堂的教学设计

儿童的个别差异是客观存在的,传统的以智力测验为基础的智力观较为狭窄,既不利于照顾儿童个别差异的课堂教学的实现,也不利于教育普及和教育机会均等的实现。多元智能理论以其不同于传统智能理论的观点为以学习者为中心的教学设计提供了理论支持。本文试将多元智能理论与教育技术学中有关教学设计的理论相结合,将多元智能理论引入到课堂教学设计之中,探讨多元智能课堂教学设计的过程,并尝试按照该过程设计出具体实例。它面向的是全纳教育的理想课堂,因而不仅是适用于普校的课堂教学,对于那些有随班就读学生的课堂也是同样适用的。

轻钢骨砼结构应用技术及抗剪性能的研究

轻钢骨混凝土结构是一种新型的结构体系,它自重轻,安装方便,保温性能好,因而有广阔的发展余地和使用空间。本文分别对轻钢骨模网混凝土的工作性能、轻钢骨剪力墙的抗剪性能做了深入的理论研究。用3片缩尺轻钢骨剪力墙模型进行了试验研究,并推导了轻钢骨剪力墙的抗剪承载力公式。由于模型试验构件少,数据有所不足,本文又采用ADINA有限元分析软件进行分析,提出有关轻钢骨砼剪力墙轴压比设计的建议。

Reuse of clips in cartoon animation based on language instructions

INTRODUCTION tic in-betweening techniques have been proposed during the past 30 years (for a comprehensive review of automatic in-betweening methods, please refer to (Yu and Patterson, 1997; Gotsman and Surazhsky, 2001)), their use in computer aided systems is some- how limited to dealing with local movements only (Yu and Patterson, 1997), because exaggerated drawings used in cartoon animations follow animation princi- ples and do not respect the geometry (Patterson and Willis, 1994) tha…     

略论经济数学教学内容与方法之改革

在深入分析当代经济数学教学存在的弊端后，提出了经济管理类研究生经济数学的教学内容重点应放在投入产出分析、最优化理论和计量经济方法三个方面的基本设想，并提出了经济数学教学应以提供给学生强有力的基础平台，以培养和提高学生独立从事科学研究能力为目标，以教师讲授、学生讲授、师生互动探讨为主的新的课堂教学模式。
