The role of the English learner facilitator in developing teacher capacity for the instruction of English learners

As a field, we have a limited understanding and a dearth of empirical research concerning the role of high school instructional coaches focused on English learners (ELs). This paper examines one EL facilitator’s work as an instructional coach and resource for supporting mainstream content teachers as they learn to meet the needs of adolescent ELs in one high school. This analysis is grounded within an examination of the influence of school structure and organization on the EL facilitator’s work and her role as a resource. Drawing on sociocultural learning theory, as well as literature on teacher leadership and instructional coaching, case study data from a year-long qualitative research project are analyzed. Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed.     

Development of a didactical training concept for peer tutors in gross anatomy

Even though peer tutors are often used in gross anatomy courses, research in the field is rather a subject of the last two decades. This is especially true about the didactical challenges these types of peer tutors experience during their tutorials and about how they are prepared for the task. The aim of the presented study was to learn about the training needs of the tutors, and to subsequently design, implement, and evaluate a didactical training concept. A qualitative design was chosen to examine how tutors can best be prepared for tutorials of gross anatomy. To do so, focus group interviews were conducted. The data were analyzed and grouped into various concepts, using semi‐structured interview questions as guidance. It was found that peer tutors are in need of training in the following aspects: Dealing with students who are experiencing difficulties during or as a result of dissection, dealing with group dynamics, that is, at the dissection table, keeping students motivated, time management, and staying confident as a tutor. In order to be regarded as useful and relevant in the eyes of tutors, a preparatory training course should include all these aspects in addition to general didactical training elements. Training needs of peer tutors of gross anatomy go beyond the content of standardized didactical curricula; therefore, tutors should be prepared with a curriculum that is specifically geared toward the many challenges associated with teaching gross anatomy to first year medical students which are already so well documented in the research literature.

基于PCA&SVM的多品种小批量产品质量预测方法研究

将主成分分析与支持向量机结合应用到多品种小批量产品的质量预测。首先确定多品种小批量产品生产过程中的定量影响因素,并将其作为初始影响因素集;然后利用主成分分析方法降低因素集的维度,同时提取关键主成分;最后将关键主成分作为影响因素集并建立针对于多品种小批量生产的支持向量机质量等级预测模型。算例分析表明,与传统的支持向量机分类模型相比,主成分分析与支持向量机结合的模型预测准确率及稳定性均有显著提高,说明模型具有更好的预测性能。     

Closing the Gap Between Photojournalist Research and Photojournalism Practice: Exploring the Motivations of the Subjects of Sensitive Photo Essays

This study is the first to inquire about the factors that influence people’s willingness to allow professional photojournalists to tell their stories through the medium of the photo essay. Guided by Self-Disclosure Theory, in-depth interviews were conducted with the subjects of 15 peer-judged award-winning photo essays. These were drawn from the multiple picture categories of the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) Monthly Clip Contest, the annual NPPA Best of Photojournalism Contest, and the annual World Press Photo Contest between 2013 and 2017. The topics of the photo essays were sensitive in nature. Analysis reveals support and appreciation amongst photo-essay subjects for the profession of photojournalism. Motivations derived from the sensitivity and professionalism with which each interviewee was initially approached, a need to tell a different side of the story, a desire to inspire others or invoke change, and the memory-keeping and permanence afforded through published professional photojournalism.     

基于质性研究的P-PE-PCK初探：结构要素与来源

摘要：PCK（即学科教学知识）作为教学的新知识基础,至今未得到体育学科领域的重视。基于此,采用质性研究方法,通过职前教师PCK研究的专门方法——备课法进行数据收集,借助Nvivo8.0质性分析软件对职前体育教师PCK（即P-PE-PCK）的构成要素以及来源进行了初次探索,为今后体育领域PCK研究奠定基础。结果表明：P-PE-PCK由“关于体育学科内容的知识、关于学生的知识、关于体育教学策略的知识、关于体育教学评价的知识、关于体育教学目标的知识和关于体育安全教学环境的知识”等6个维度的知识构成。P-PE-PCK各维度知识来源于9个方面,分别是“术科学习经验、实习经验与反思、个人生活经验、个人练习体验、个人反思总结、阅读专业书刊、理论课学习、作为中小学学生时的经验以及课堂观察”等,职前教育阶段“理论课、术科课程、实践课程（教育实习）”等课程仍然是发展P-PE-PCK的重要途径。基于P-PE-PCK的发展,就术科教学提出了“加强与教学法的结合、增加学生参与教学实践与课内外教学反思”的建议。     

北京奥运精神遗产的质性研究——基于吉祥物的相关材料

采用质性研究的方法,探讨北京奥运会吉祥物所蕴含的精神遗产。以来自新浪网的评论及名人访谈为主要资料,通过质性分析软件Nvivo8.0,运用扎根理论分析方法,认为北京奥运会吉祥物蕴含了团结、重在参与、和平友谊、不断超越的奥林匹克精神,体现了天人合一、追求和谐、以人为本、刚健有为的中国人文精神,展现了勇于创新、无私奉献、精益求精的时代与科学精神。     

对运动员权力价值观的研究

运动员特殊的成长环境和过程形成了运动员独特的群体文化特征,运动员的权力价值观就是其中之一。一方面采用定性心理学研究方法对运动员的权力价值观进行剖析;另一方面引入文化心理学当中的"权力距离"概念来对运动员这一特殊文化群体进行分析。结果发现在高权力距离文化的特征背景下,运动员权力价值观的结构当中包括:目标一致性、尊重、教练惩罚的权力、沟通、自我选择、利益、生活方式、环境影响、亲密程度;这些因素共同构成了一个不断自我强化的、绝对服从与表面服从并行的权力价值体系。     

定性评价视域下高校档案质量管理的三个维度

高校档案管理工作的来源散、种类多、载体多、运行环节复杂,我们应该从档案形成充分和归档完整性、档案资源的序化强度、档案服务水平这三个维度对高校档案管理质量进行定性评价。
