How is technology seen in young people’s visions of future education systems?

This research captured the views of young people regarding their views of ‘how learning should be in the future’. Four focus groups were run with different groups of school‐age pupils. The ways in which technology was seen within these discussions were analysed. The findings noted that the explicit use of technological innovations, and predicted innovations, was rarely seen as having a significant impact on learning, rather that the technology was used in line with the models of learning derived from the participant’s best current experiences of learning and education. Technology was, therefore, seen as something which could make current learning practices more efficient but did not transform the learning process.     

黄宾虹山水画的笔墨价值

黄宾虹从笔墨中找到中国画发展创新的途径 ,穷其一生研究用笔用墨的方法规律 ,然而他透过笔墨的表面现象 ,看到了“笔墨精神”及笔墨精神所表达的自然生命节律与神韵之内美 ,这只是黄宾虹笔墨价值所昭示的一个方面。他绘画的全部内涵通过作品本身的笔墨建构来实现。它不靠诗文题跋的想象与补充 ,画就是画本身笔墨之间的种种构成关系 ,也就是从自然中悟得的种种感觉与内美。将绘画还原给“视觉器官”回归到艺术本体 ,可谓在董其昌之后对绘画本体的开拓作了又一次总结 ,从而将传统文人画推进到一个可与现代审美要求相衔接的新阶段 ,这对开启未来绘画创新有着重要意义。黄宾虹的笔墨价值还在于它在东方文化背景上不期然地与西方文化取得了某种“交汇” ,使中国绘画在自身演进中与西方现代绘画形成某种暗合 ,与西方抽象绘画有异曲同工之妙

为何英语片语句能在英语广告中盛行不衰?

片语句一向被视为非规范语言,但却能在英语广告文体中盛行不衰。笔者认为其理据不在语法,而在广告信息传播。广告信息传播力求以最有效的商品信息和服务的传播方式来实现其销售目的。从功能语法角度来看,英语片语句能在广告信息传播中突出焦点,具有独特的功能和魅力。     

消费者调节聚焦对赛事赞助效果的影响研究

采用两个实验重点研究了消费者调节聚焦对赛事赞助效果的影响及其作用机制,解决了现有研究间的矛盾。结果显示,消费者调节聚焦会调节赛事质量和赞助匹配对品牌资产的影响强度;对于趋近型消费者,赞助匹配对品牌资产的路径系数显著大于赛事质量;对于规避型消费者,赛事质量对品牌资产的路径系数大于赞助匹配,但没发现显著差异;赞助态度和定位清晰度在赛事赞助和品牌资产之间具有中介作用;调节聚焦通过调节赛事赞助对赞助态度和定位清晰度的影响进而影响品牌资产,而非通过调节赞助态度和定位清晰度对品牌资产的影响而产生作用。赞助匹配无论是通过操控同一品牌的不同赞助方式获得,还是操控不同匹配水平的两个品牌获得;调节聚焦无论采用情景性调节聚焦,还是特质性调节聚焦,均得到一致的研究结果。     

Intentional thought dynamics during exercise performed until volitional exhaustion

Using a non-linear approach, intentional dynamics of thoughts were examined during constant cycling performed until volitional exhaustion. Participants (n = 12) completed two sessions at 80% W_max. Their (1) intrinsic thought dynamics (i.e., no-imposed thoughts condition) and (2) intentional thought dynamics (i.e., imposed task-unrelated thoughts condition; TUT) were recorded and then classified into four categories: internal and external TUT (TUT-I, TUT-E) and external and internal task-related thoughts (TRT-E, TRT-I). The probability estimates for maintaining each thought category stable, the rate of switching from one category to another, and the entropy dynamics along the testing procedure were assessed and compared through time phase. Friedman ANOVA tests revealed a significant effect of effort increase on thought contents only in the imposed TUT test. While TUT-I probabilities decreased significantly (P < .001) as effort increased, TRT-I probabilities increased (P < .05). Moreover, the entropy to the entire thought dynamics increased at the outset of task performance and decreased upon approaching volitional exhaustion (P < .001). As time spent in constant effort increased, and volitional exhaustion approached, task relatedness (TUT, TRT), direction (internal, external), and entropy of thought contents changed unintentionally providing further evidence for a nonlinear dynamics of attention focus.     

General University Requirements at Hong Kong Polytechnic University: evaluation findings based on student focus groups

Under the new four-year undergraduate programme, a general education framework titled ‘General University Requirements’ (GUR) has been developed and implemented since 2012/2013 at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). To evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the GUR in its first year, focus group interviews with students were carried out. In 13 focus groups, 62 first-year students from eight faculties/schools who took GUR subjects in 2012/2013 academic year were interviewed by trained researchers. Results showed that students generally had good perceptions of the GUR in terms of the subject content, teaching methods and the overall effectiveness of the subjects. The interactive teaching and learning initiatives adopted in GUR subjects were particularly appreciated, although students expressed minor concerns on the administration of GUR subjects. The results suggest that the first-year implementation of the GUR at PolyU was generally smooth and successful from the perspectives of the students.     

Exploring the experiences and responses of LGBTQ+ adolescents to school-based sexuality education

The purpose of this study is to describe the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, two spirit, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth with school-based sexuality education (SBSE), as well as to document strategies LGBTQ+ youth are using to address their evolving and specific sexual health needs outside of SBSE. Researchers conducted focus groups with 17 adolescents (ages 14–18) from urban and suburban Midwestern cities. Results of this study indicate LGBTQ+ youth find SBSE to be heteronormative, cisgender focused, and primarily focused on pregnancy and disease prevention, which contributes to LGBTQ+ youth experiences of exclusion. In response to SBSE that did not meet student needs, participants reported seeking sexual health information outside of SBSE. Other sources included family and other trusted adults, the Internet, and community resource centers. Students reported variable rates of use and trustworthiness across these resources. Results of this study suggest that school personnel should consider alternatives to traditional SBSE models to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, and that an important part of SBSE should include guidelines for Internet safety.     

基于改进模糊集IFScom的λ-中介否定及应用

IFScom是一种区分矛盾否定关系、对立否定关系和中介否定关系的模糊集。针对模糊集IF-Scom在应用中的特点,对其中介否定算子作了进一步改进,使得中介否定集的λ-区间函数从[1-λ,1]扩充到[0,1],其分段比例函数的增减性更符合实际。在此基础上给出了λ-中介否定集在模糊入侵检测中的应用,仿真实验表明该中介否定集在模糊知识的"否定"区分、处理和推理上是有效的。
