Affordances of using Multiple Videoed Events to construct a rich understanding of adult–child book readings

This paper explores the affordances of using video-based research to capture a multiplicity of events, along with multimodal representations when producing data related to adult–child book readings. In doing this we answer two questions: (1) why more than one event is needed when seeking a comprehensive collection of information for the purpose of analysis; and (2) why one mode of data production alone (e.g. audio recordings or note taking) is insufficient to record practice or interviews when richness is of priority. This research used three videoed events to produce data. These included videoing: (1) caregiver–child interactions during four shared book reading sessions, (2) interviews with caregivers immediately following each of the reading sessions and (3) video-stimulated discussions with caregivers within two months of the final shared book reading. In this paper, I contribute to discussions that highlight the affordances of using video-based research as a means of capturing the multimodal elements of an experience, which can contribute to the analysis and interpretation of data. I expand on this, however, to suggest that when coupled with a multiplicity of events, video-based research can be a means of pursuing richness via a method that has been criticized for its narrow subjectivity.

《国家学生体质健康标准》评价效能的反思与优化——大学生体质健康预警机制的构建

体质健康预警针对体质健康等级评定存在的信息缺失、学生体质健康发展的非均衡性、学生对体质健康评价结果不够重视等问题,以体质健康测试数据分析与健康预测为基础而建立的预警警示分析系统.通过对体质健康弱化状态进行分析、监控并发出预警.通过对个体体质健康信息的具体预警,促进学生对体质健康的关注,促进学生从心理上产生健康危机意识,从而产生改善体质健康的紧迫感和危机感,促进主动进行锻炼的自我健康管理.     

刚柔相宜的和谐之美—试论儒家文化对太极拳的浸润作用

儒家文化作为中华传统文化的核心和主导,潜移默化地渗透到社会生活的方方面面。作为中国国粹的太极拳,不仅是一个体育项目,更是传承传统文化的一个载体。因此,太极拳在产生与发展的过程中势必会受到儒家文化对它的浸润,从而呈现出儒家的文化特色与精神实质。     

儒家养生思想辨析

儒家养生思想是儒家基本学说的折射，反映了儒家对生命的价值和对养生的目的、意义等的认识。其特点是重精神而轻形体，重理论而轻方法。它把养生纳入了伦理教化的轨道，对传统养生理论体系产生了深远的影响。     

清华大学教职工20年死亡跟踪调查

以20年清华大学在编教职工每年死亡人数、死亡年龄、死亡原因等跟踪调查为例,从一个侧面了解和分析我国知识分子死亡情况的特点和变化规律。结果发现:清华大学教职工的年死亡率2.5‰,平均死亡年龄65.38岁,男性66.24岁,女性61.43岁,男性比女性高近5岁。历年平均死亡年龄呈上升趋势,20年提高了11.27岁,平均每年增长0.56岁。近5年,平均死亡年龄达到70.61岁。癌症是危害知识分子寿命的第一杀手,占死因50%,明显高于普通人群。“英年早逝”现象应引起注意。     

Creating an Ofsted story: the role of early years assessment data in schools’ narratives of progress

This paper explores the growing importance of measures of progress in judgements of schools’ effectiveness in England, with a focus on the role of the early years (settings for children aged 2–5) in providing data for these measures. Qualitative data from a research project involving three diverse school-based and pre-compulsory early years settings are used to explore how teachers and school leaders prioritise the collection of data in their every-day practice, in order to show how children make continual progress. The need for a narrative of progress as children move up through the primary school, an ‘Ofsted story’ for the school inspection service, is discussed alongside recent policy which requires a ‘baseline’ assessment at age four. We argue that there is a reification of progress in schools and early years settings, and that this changes the status of early years within the sector.     

Teachers’ voice,power and agency: (un)professionalisation of the early years workforce

This article examines Slovak early years teachers’ concerns with conceptions of teacher professionalism. It suggests that there is a mismatch between understandings of professionalism, policy aspirations and the attitudes of teachers to their own professionalism, and that this mismatch fuels early years teachers’ sense of agency. These tensions between conceptions of professionalism, teaching practice and actual working conditions have led to a ground-up approach to self-governance within the early years teacher workforce. We analyse teachers’ discussions in an early years online forum of 12,500 members that was started and remains governed by the teachers themselves. It represents in itself a very particular attitude and response to the need to determine what it means to be a professional teacher. This analysis examines intersections of policy, quality and professionalism, and highlights considerations of power and voice, and the complexities of uncertainty and change. The article concludes with the suggestion that teacher attitudes, power and agency are impacted in unpredictable ways by the policy landscape.     

Children's responses to the interactivity of storybook apps in family shared reading events involving the iPad

This paper reports on some data on the effects of screen‐based interactivity on children's engagement with storybook apps during family shared book reading that were gathered in a 2‐year, small‐scale ethnographic case study in Spain. Data analysis focuses on the complex interplay between the storybook app's interactive features and the children's responses to them. Our findings show that interactive elements increase the child's autonomy, as they tend to promote the importance of the reader, positioning him or her as a collaborator, storyteller, an author or an internal character in the fiction; something that can materialise in exciting narrative strategies that can trigger powerful responses to digital literary texts in emergent readers, including playing, creating new fictions or engaging emotionally with the story. Finally, we argue that the Reader Response models that have been used over recent decades to understand children's reading experiences with storybooks need to be revised to better understand their current experiences with interactive texts.     

清初苏努家族信仰天主教探析

苏努家族身为满清皇族却几乎举家信奉天主教,其家族命运的转折也与天主教颇有关系。在遭贬流放前后苏努家族的信仰状况有很大变化,大致可分为未入教、主动入教和被动入教三类。影响其家族信仰选择的因素主要有生活处境、知识构成、政治考量、传教士的介入等。苏努家族的多元信仰是家族成员主动或被动寻找精神归依、实现精神救赎的结果。
