Does student learning style affect performance on different formats of biomechanics examinations?

Students' learning style preferences have been widely adapted into teaching and learning environments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported and assessed learning style preferences (visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic: VARK) on performance in different types of multiple-choice examinations (T1: text only format and T2: visual format) given in an introductory biomechanics class. Students who enrolled in three biomechanics classes at a state university were recruited to participate in the study. Ninety students (47 males and 43 females) completed a learning style survey and two types of examinations. Results showed that approximately half of the students were assessed and self-reported as kinesthetic for their preferred learning style. There was no significant difference in test performance between students who preferred visual and reading/writing learning styles (self-reported and assessed). These students demonstrated similar learning and comprehension of biomechanical concepts regardless of whether the test material was presented in their preferred sensory mode or not. Interestingly, female students' perceptions of their learning style preference may have a positive effect on the test results when the test is presented in their preferred format.

当代中国"感性享乐主义"批判

感性享乐主义作为一种社会心理自上个世纪90年代以来越来越普遍地影响着中国人的现实感怀和生活行为。导致当代中国感性享乐主义出现的深沉的文化根源决定了该种社会心理具有合理性与不合理性并存的特点。嬉戏和世俗的狂欢可以成为大众的日常生活内容，但它永远没有资格掩盖与摈斥那为了崇高目的而在严寒和沙漠中艰难跋涉的努力。     

浅谈钢琴弹奏中感官的协调训练方法

在整个钢琴弹奏的过程之中,人的触觉、听觉和视觉三个感觉系统及其三系统之间都存在着特定而普遍的联系,这种联系对钢琴弹奏系统的整体结构和整体功能的优化有着积极作用,可以有效促进整个弹奏系统的完善与提高。文章采用文献法、归纳演绎法为钢琴弹奏过程中各感官的协调策略提供理论依据,利于提高钢琴弹奏过程中各感官的配合与协调,从而优化钢琴弹奏系统的整体功能,为提高钢琴学习效率和弹奏水平建言献策。

用感官盛宴的艺术思维设计电影服饰

电影艺术离不开用特定的视听语言来表现和吸引人们的注意力,电影中的服饰设计作为影视美术的重要的部分参与电影的叙述和人物塑造并不是将自己隐藏在电影和人物背后,相反,是对影片的视觉形式起了致关重要的作用。基于对感官盛宴的概念和感官盛宴的艺术思维阐述,通过对多部电影中服装设计特点的解析,归纳提出服装设计的"庞大感"能够增强人物在视觉上的力度,服装设计的"奢华感"能够渲染出影片的视觉质感。

Multi‐sensory storytelling as an aid to assisting people with profound intellectual disabilities to cope with sensitive issues: a multiple research methods analysis of engagement and outcomes

The importance of storytelling in social, cultural and educational contexts is well established and documented. The extension of storytelling to people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) has in recent years been undertaken with an emphasis on the value of sensory experience and the context storytelling provides for social interaction. The present study builds on earlier curriculum orientated research with a view to describe patterns of social and story‐oriented interaction during storytelling. The stories dealt with sensitive topics raised by family carers who wished the young person with PIMD to understand. Behavioural observation during storytelling sessions explored changes in engagement while semi‐structured interviews with parents and professionals explored the extent to which the experience had benefitted the young person with respect to the sensitive topic. Positive changes in engagement with the story were shown for seven of the eight participants. For six of the seven, a parent and a professional agreed that the outcome of the experience positively enabled the participant to cope better with the sensitive topic. The specific multi‐sensory storytelling factors leading to these outcomes are discussed, as is the issue of proxy reporting and determining the nature of understanding in people with PIMD.
