Designing informal learning experiences for early career academics using a knowledge ecosystem model

This article presents a ‘knowledge ecosystem’ model of how early career academics experience using information to learn while building their social networks for developmental purposes. Developed using grounded theory methodology, the model offers a way of conceptualising how to empower early career academics through (1) agency (individual and relational) and (2) facilitation of personalised informal learning (design of physical and virtual systems and environments) in spaces where developmental relationships are formed, including programmes, courses, events, community, home and social media. It is suggested that the knowledge ecosystem model is suitable for use in designing informal learning experiences for early career academics.

Mitigating the Effects of Poverty and Crime: the Long-Term Effects of an Early Intervention Programme for Children who were Developmentally Delayed and Prenatally Exposed to Cocaine

This study explores the long-term impact on participation in the Linda Ray Intervention Program (LRIP) for children (n = 54) who were developmentally delayed and prenatally exposed to cocaine. By identifying a group of programme graduates from a high crime/high poverty neighbourhood in Miami-Dade County using ArcGIS 10.2 software, a quasi-experimental design was used to compare children living in this area who participated in the centre-based modality (5 h a day; 5 days a week) to children living in this area who participated in the home-based modality (3 h per week) on their Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) reading and math scale scores in public school. The children who participated in the centre-based modality reported stronger outcomes in both math and reading FCAT scale scores at the p < .05 level and also out-performed their school-age peers on both math and reading FCAT scores at the p < .05 level.     

新闻历史观与新闻的历史价值

新闻与历史的最大区别在于,新闻讲求时效,失去了时效性的新闻就失去了新闻价值,失去了新闻价值的新闻似乎也就意味着失去了存在的价值。但从新闻历史观的眼光看,优秀的新闻虽然失去了新闻价值,但却有可能沉淀为“历史的初稿”,从而具有历史的价值。新闻历史观就是要站在历史的高度观照新闻,从新的角度挖掘新闻的历史价值。     

从文学接受过程看琼瑶小说

文学接受过程是较为复杂的过程,它是接受主体在文学文本中启动、强化、不断深入展现生命力的动态过程。本文试图用文学接受过程的有关理论从＂从期待视野看琼瑶小说——琼瑶重视读者;从接受心理看琼瑶小说;从读者的接受动机看琼瑶小说＂三个方面来探讨一下琼瑶小说。     

初学者英语语音意识培养之浅谈

语音意识与阅读理解,单词拼写及记忆等方面有着极为密切的联系。利用语音意识进行语言学习已成为普遍认同的理论。该文在简单回顾了国内外语音意识发展的历史后,详细阐述了语音意识测试的步骤及方法,指出只有在对英语学习者语音意识进行有效的评估后,才能对症下药,培养他们的语音意识;同时指出语音意识的发展是一个渐进式发展的过程,英语教育教学工作者只有根据其规律,灵活施教,才能起到事倍功半的效果。     

性别角色发展的生物学理论及其对学前教育的启示

分析诸多学者对性别角色的概念界定发现,性别角色虽然受到社会各因素的影响,但其发展基础仍来源于生物因素。由此,本文选取性别角色发展的生物学理论中最具代表性的三种理论:生物进化理论、生物社会理论和精神分析理论,对性别角色发展的生物因素进行概述和分析,分别从进化原理、遗传基因、激素影响和性生理特征等方面分析性别角色发展的机制,客观、辩证地评价各理论流派的理论学说,以期帮助学前教育工作者了解儿童性别角色发展的规律。     

语气系统与人际视角的再构建

语气系统是实现语言人际功能的主要手段之一。意义的表达离不开视角,而视角的形成涉及感知主体对情景、状态和变化的感受,具有很强的主观性。从交际的角度重新定义人际视角概念,分析语气系统在建构语篇意义中所发挥的作用。由于人们在交际中存在视角分化现象,文章分析了交际者如何通过语气系统限制或影响对方的视角。     

高校课改警示：对存在主义课程观的现代审视

存在主义课程观在课程目标取向上强调塑造人的整个品格。在课程内容选择上注重人文学科的学习;在课程设置特色上强调综合化、人性化;在课程实施模式上主张个别的、民主的、对话式的教育和教学。这是积极而有意义的,但是存在主义课程观却并未在学校课程史上留下浓墨重彩的一笔,给当前我国高校的课程改革留下了一些警示：课程改革要有前瞻性、预见性、稳定性;多元化的课程目标应统一于人才培养的目标;重视课程设置的内在结构;课程实施模式从单向传递走向对话;课程理论研究从借鉴走向超越。     

The Effectiveness of the Responsive Teaching Parent-mediated Developmental Intervention Programme in Turkey: A pilot study

The case study was conducted to examine the feasibility of an early intervention curriculum called Responsive Teaching with two five-year-old children from Turkey who had significant developmental delays. This study determined whether Turkish mothers might be successful in learning to become more responsive to their children, and whether this would result in significant improvements in their children’s development. Both dyads received 28 individual parent–child intervention sessions which were conducted over a four-month period of time. Pre-, mid-, and post-assessments indicated improvements in the mothers’ responsiveness to their children and the children’s levels of engagement with their parents. There were also improvements in the children’s language and personal social development. Mothers reported that Responsive Teaching helped them learn to interact more effectively with their children and that this resulted in longer and more enjoyable interactions with them. Results from this investigation are discussed in terms of their implications for providing developmental services to preschool-aged children with disabilities in Turkey.
