An analysis of review content and reviewer variables that contribute to review helpfulness

Review helpfulness is attracting increasing attention of practitioners and academics. It helps in reducing risks and uncertainty faced by users in online shopping. This study examines uninvestigated variables by looking at not only the review characteristics but also important indicators of reviewers. Several significant review content and two reviewer variables are proposed and an effective review helpfulness prediction model is built using stochastic gradient boosting learning method. This study derived a mechanism to extract novel review content variables from review text. Six popular machine learning models and three real-life Amazon review data sets are used for analysis. Our results are robust to several product categories and along three Amazon review data sets. The results show that review content variables deliver the best performance as compared to the reviewer and state-of-the-art baseline as a standalone model. This study finds that reviewer helpfulness per day and syllables in review text strongly relates to review helpfulness. Moreover, the number of space, aux verb, drives words in review text and productivity score of a reviewer are also effective predictors of review helpfulness. The findings will help customers to write better reviews, help retailers to manage their websites intelligently and aid customers in their product purchasing decisions.     

Professional knowledge or motivation? Investigating the role of teachers’ expertise on the quality of technology-enhanced lesson plans

In an expertise study with 94 mathematics teachers varying in their relative teacher expertise (i.e., student teachers, trainee teachers, in-service teachers), we examined effects of teachers' professional knowledge and motivational beliefs on their ability to integrate technology within a lesson plan scenario. Therefore, we assessed teachers' professional knowledge (i.e., content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, technological knowledge), and their motivational beliefs (i.e., self-efficacy, utility-value). Furthermore, teachers were asked to develop a lesson plan for introducing the Pythagorean theorem to secondary students. Lesson plans by advanced teachers (i.e., trainee teachers, in-service teachers) comprised higher levels of instructional quality and technology exploitation than the ones of novice teachers (i.e., pre-service teachers). The effect of expertise was mediated by teachers' perceived utility-value of educational technology, but not by their professional knowledge. These findings suggest that teachers’ motivational beliefs play a crucial role for effectively applying technology in mathematics instruction.     

心理学研究方法体系的探讨——对运动心理学研究方法的启示

心理学的发展与应用 ,都与科学的研究方法密切相关。心理学研究主要是在辩证唯物主义理论指导下 ,吸取其他学科的研究方法并且形成自己独特的研究方法体系以促进心理科学的发展。而运动心理学是心理学的一个分支学科 ,它是随心理科学和体育科学的发展而不断完善 ,为适应体育运动的需要而产生的一门应用学科。其研究方法主要来源于它的母科学———心理学方法的一般研究方法。心理学研究方法的发展也极大丰富了运动心理学研究的手段 ,使运动心理学的研究和应用得到了更大的发展。     

跳远助跑速度变化对起跳效果的影响——国内外优秀运动员与我院选手的比较分析

笔者采用高速摄影、影片解析、数理统计等方法对西安体育学院男子跳远运动员和国内外优秀选手助跑速度变化而影响起跳效果的因素进行比较研究。结果表明:跳远助跑各段落速度的变化对起跳效果及成绩产生很大影响;西安体育学院男子跳远运动员绝对速度低,起跳前两步速度、速度利用率呈下降趋势,影响起跳初速度;跳远起跳前一步的速度、速度利用率对提高起跳效果要比起跳前9—10m段的速度、速度利用率更具有实际意义。     

高速剪切轴向间隙的研究

本针对剪切下料问题中存在的不足，从裂纹扩展的角度出发，结合断裂力学及塑性力学关于裂纹技术的相关理论，对剪切过程中影响断面质量的一个重要参数一轴向间隙进行分析，得出了高速剪切下合理轴向间隙的表这式。     

体育真义论

首先对体育能够增强体质，祛病保健，益寿延年的传统信条提出质疑，通过对体育的基本属性和两大种差特点的分析，提出体育是旨在强化体能的非生产性人体活动这一新概念。     

学校体育学生伤害事故的法律责任研究

校园学生伤害事故是目前社会普遍关心的热点问题，学校体育是校园学生伤害事故的多发区。通过对学校体育学生伤害事故法律责任的研究，使学校体育在面对学生伤害事故时，有法可依，也使学校、教师、学生和学生家长在学校体育学生伤害事故中，更明确各自应承担的法律责任。以及权利和义务，依法保障师生双方的权益。     

体育教育专业学生英语学习方式调查研究

报告了对沈阳体育学院体育教育专业学生外语学习方式倾向的调查研究,并以问卷为研究工具。运用定量研究方法,分析了个体差异如性别、外语水平等对学生学习方式倾向的影响。结果显示学生喜欢多种外语学习方式,外语成绩优、差学生6种学习方式均无显著差异,男生比女生更喜欢听觉学习,女生比男生更喜欢视觉学习。据此提出外语教师应根据学生的认知特点灵活运用各种教学方式,并指导学生调整和扩展多种学习风格以促进教与学的协调发展。     

国内运动生物力学发展现状思考

运动生物力学是一门新兴的边缘性科学，其定义、研究范畴、研究方法都有待商榷。从这三个角度出发，主要对大量资料进行归纳总结，综合、概括了目前国内运动生物力学发展状况。力求对我国的运动生物力学发展的状况勾勒出一个清晰的脉络图，以便在这门学科今后的研究中减少盲目性，具有更强的实用性。
