Shaking table test of pile-water-pier superstructure

The model test of seismic simulation shaking table is an important method to study the seismic design of bridge structure. In order to evaluate the seismic response and dynamic characteristics of pile-water-pier system for developing more reliable design procedures, shaking table model tests of a submerged bridge pier system, including pile groups-cap-pier and inertia mass, were conducted. Since different similitude laws corresponding to different test objectives affected the validity of test results, the similitude law with the aim to consider the effect of hydrodynamic pressure was proposed and confirmed through an actual example. Based on the test results, the effect of water around model on seismic response under seismic excitation input was analyzed and the failure level was judged by observing the variation of basic frequency. The test results indicate that the transfer function of analytical model with water is different from that without water, the natural frequency without water is always higher than that with water, and the first modal shapes are various. It is also concluded that the similitude law is suitable for practical application and the dynamic characteristics and seismic response of the structure system can be changed because of the existence of the surrounding water, which should be paid much attention in the further investigation.     

制度视野下的辞赋创作——以清代乾嘉时期为中心

清代是古代赋学的集大成期,无论是辞赋创作还是赋论都有十分重要的历史地位。赋学的繁荣除了统治者的辞赋创作与提倡外,科举试赋也是一个十分重要的因素,特别是乾嘉时期,针对律赋创作的疲苶倾向,赋论家提出＂以古文为时文＂的创作要求,既是辞赋文体自身的救赎,也是应合科举试赋的统治阶级意向的表现,对后期辞赋创作及古代赋学理论产生了积极的影响,而赋论强调＂丽则＂的观念也可以说是统治政策在文体风格方面的必然反映。

“地球化学”课程考核方式改革与实践

为探索一种新的考核方式,我们采取让一部分学生给教材找错误,通过自主命题、自我考核的方式对“地球化学”进行考试改革试点。为保证成绩的公平可信,提出了一系列评分措施,使参加试点的学生成绩与全班学生成绩具有可比性。在活动结束后,学生的自学能力得到一定程度的提高,自认为该考核方式更有利于自己学好该门课程。     

从学位英语测试看研究生英语应用能力的培养

研究生学位英语测试既是教学的一个重要环节,测试结果更是决定研究生能否获得学位的重要依据之一。研究生学位英语测试应该是一项具有较强真实性的交际语言运用测试,在此基础上,从测试对教学反拨作用的角度,探讨了如何通过学位英语测试改革促进研究生英语应用能力的培养。

Effects of Test Anxiety and Evaluative Threat on Students' Achievement and Motivation

Abstract

Identification of factors that influence post-secondary student achievement and motivation in the classroom continues to be an important educational objective. The author investigated the interactive effects of learner characteristic, test anxiety, and the classroom variable, threat of evaluation, on the achievement and motivation of 61 postsecondary students assigned randomly to high- or low-evaluative threat conditions. Statistically significant interactions revealed that all the students, particularly the test-anxious students, performed poorly and were less motivated when exposed to highly evaluative classrooms. The findings expand previous research and should be considered by professors when they design and implement higher education courses.     

Conditions affecting the usefulness of pre- and post-tests for assessment purposes

Interest in measuring and evaluating student learning in higher education is growing. There are many tools available to assess student learning. However, the use of such tools may be more or less appropriate under various conditions. This study provides some evidence related to the appropriate use of pre/post‐tests. The question of whether graded tests elicit a higher level of performance (better representation of actual learning gains) than ungraded post‐tests is examined. We examine whether the difficulty level of the questions asked (knowledge/comprehension vs. analysis/application) affects this difference. We test whether the student’s level in the degree programme affects this difference. Results indicate that post‐tests may not demonstrate the full level of student mastery of learning objectives and that both the difficulty level of the questions asked and the level of students in their degree programme affect the difference between graded and ungraded assessments. Some of these differences may be due to causes other than grades on the assessments. Students may have benefited from the post‐test, as a review of the material, or from additional studying between the post‐test and the final examination. Results also indicate that pre‐tests can be useful in identifying appropriate changes in course materials over time.     

How Good Are Our Schools

ABSTRACT

Research suggests a positive relationship between schools’ efforts to engage parents and parents’ involvement in their child's education. The authors investigated school socioeconomic status, school size, grade level, and student–teacher ratio as predictors of schools’ efforts to engage parents of students receiving special education services. The dependent variable was the Schools’ Efforts to Partner with Parents’ Scale, which has been validated for states’ use in their federal accountability systems. Mean school-level scores were calculated for 265 schools in a large southeastern state. Results indicated that student–teacher ratio was the strongest predictor of parents’ perceived school engagement efforts. Implications are drawn for ways in which all schools, including those with high student–teacher ratios, can improve their collaboration with parents of students receiving special education services.
