Teachers' perspectives of changes in their practice during a technology in mathematics education research project

Teachers' perception of changes to their teaching practice, with respect to digital technology use in secondary school mathematics, during their participation in a research project are reported. Two case studies are presented of teacher perspectives illustrative of the range of perceived changes teachers made to their practice and positions along the ‘path of change’ during their participation in the project. Participating in a project supportive of teacher change and resulting in perception of substantial change was necessary, but not sufficient, to meet the goal of transformative use of digital technologies to increase the level of cognitive demand experienced by students.     

Change management and the SENCo role: developing key performance indicators in the strategic development of inclusivity

This article follows an earlier publication highlighting the changing role of special educational needs co‐ordinators (SENCos) in England. SENCos are now required to manage change strategically and deliver inclusive school cultures. School‐based action research undertaken by a teacher studying for the postgraduate National Award for SEN Co‐ordination (NASENCO) is featured in the article; a strategic review of resource allocation increased the availability and quality of interventions for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The commentary which frames the study acknowledges that many SENCos are not yet members of a senior school management team (SMT) despite their mandated strategic whole‐school remit. Featuring the process through which one SENCo has strived to enhance SEND provision and develop context‐specific key performance indicators brings official guidance on the SENCo's role in strategic change management into sharp focus, raising questions that should concern both SMTs and non‐SMT SENCos.

试谈盈亏分析法在管理审计中的应用

在管理审计中，可以应用盈亏分析法对被审计单位的生产经营计划或工程项目进行考核、评价，据以改善管理，提高经济效益。本文除对盈亏分析法作了一般阐述外，着重通过例示介绍了在生产一种产品情况下盈亏平衡点的图示法、公式计算法，以及在生产多种产品情况下盈亏平衡点的公式计算法的应用。     

定向图的谱半径的一个上界

利用定向图的邻接矩阵的特性,得到了定向图的邻接谱的谱半径的一个可达上界.设D为n阶的定向图,则其邻接谱的谱半径ρ(D)≤n2-1.当n为奇数时,上式取得等号当且仅当D为n2-1出度正则(入度正则);当n为偶数时,不等式严格成立.

科研型数学教师及其培养

国际经济、科技、人才的竞争正推动着教育的改革。教育改革的关键因素在于合格的、新型教师的培养。科研型教师是指既能教学，又能进行数学及数学教育研究的教师。科研型教师应具备3项条件：转变观念，更新意识，提高能力。科研型数学教师是新时代数学教育的需要，要实行理论学习、实践探索和科学研究三位一体的教师培训途径。教养科研型教师需要解决“为何搞科研”、“如何搞科研”和“研究什么”3个问题。     

中苏论战对毛泽东转变世界战争认识的影响--从"世界大战可以避免"到"世界大战不可避免"的观点变化

20世纪60年代后,毛泽东改变了原先“世界大战可以避免或推迟”的判断,突出地强调战争爆发的危险性,从而对中国的建设走向产生极大的影响。毛泽东这一判断变化的过程,与中苏两党关系的演变有着密切的关系。中苏两党从产生分歧、摩擦到公开论战,在一系列问题上形成对立,其中包括关于战争与和平问题的认识。中苏论战产生的影响是多层面的。从中苏论战的影响这一大背景,厘清毛泽东改变判断的原因,有助于更准确和更科学地作出历史的评价。毛泽东形成“战争不可避免”的观点以及对战争的高度警觉,决不是其个人主观意志的产物,而是在特定时代背景影响下、特殊历史事件作用下的结果。     

审计为国有企业改革和发展服务的思考

审计要为国有企业改革和发展服务，首先要将服务的观念和意识贯穿于整个审计监督的全过程；其次，审计要在观念、内容和重点、对象和范围、方法等方面实现转变；最后提出审计服务的具体措施：一、转变观点．以全新思维开展工作；二、不断开拓审计工作新领域；三、明确国家审计、内部审计的职责．发挥其功能；四、执行审计法规，实现审计工作的制度化和规范化；五、进一步改进审计方法。     

“Sport for Development” in developing countries: The case of the Vilas Olímpicas do Rio de Janeiro

The benefits of sport for general social outcomes has permeated sport policy in Brazil since the beginning of the twentieth century, but recently the jargon of “development through sport” is more overtly informing public policy and government action in this field. Despite increased uptake of the positive discourse of “sport as a development tool”, the reality for government-funded and -run “sport for development” programs is one far removed from enjoying the attention and financial investment needed to reach their stated development goals. This paper focuses on one such program: the Vilas Olímpicas do Rio de Janeiro. When analysing the specific matters associated with the management of this program three themes were identified that encapsulate the main issues that emerged during the analysis: partnerships, conflicting aims, and community involvement. These themes are analysed in light of the literature that discusses the application of “sport for development” programs worldwide and we conclude with some questions on the applicability of well-defined frameworks and approaches to such programs when these programs themselves tend to operate in very ill-defined and unstable environments.
