Perspectives on academic staff involvement in the acquisition and implementation of educational technologies

This article presents the results of a study using both quantitative and qualitative data to uncover the extent and nature of the involvement of academic staff in the processes of acquisition and implementation of educational technologies. Actor-network theory (ANT) is used to inform the design of the study and the analysis of the data. Three main areas of investigation are (1) issues of institutional policy and overall purpose of technology, (2) issues of staff involvement in various activities related to acquisition and use of technology and (3) issues related to the existence of arenas for dialogue and discussions of technological needs and requirements across organisational boundaries. The analysis focuses on the diffuseness of the role of academic staff in processes of development of institutional policies and technology acquisition. The article concludes with suggestions for organisational policy in higher education contexts, and possible directions for new research.     

Metacognitive activities in text-studying and problem-solving: Development of a taxonomy

This article describes the construction of a hierarchical taxonomy of metacognitive activities for the interpretation of thinking-aloud protocols of students in secondary education, who studied texts on history and physics. After testing an initial elaborate taxonomy on a restricted number of protocols by multiple raters, it appeared that the interrater correspondence was well below par. The categories in the taxonomy were too highly specified. Categories were combined and tested on new protocols in a cyclic fashion. The revised taxonomy was then used for coding 16 history protocols and 16 physics protocols. Frequencies of occurrence of metacognitive activities were obtained, as well as judgements of the quality of the metacognitive activities of the participants. There is a reasonable correlation between the frequency method and the quality method for coding thinking-aloud protocols. Also, there is a substantial covariation of the number of metacognitive activities across both tasks.     

贵州少数民族居民主观幸福感及其影响因素

采用中国城市居民主观幸福感量表简本（SWBS-CC20）、社会支持评定量表（SSRS）和自编少数民族居民社会心理压力问卷作为研究工具,选取贵州省各地区少数民族居民2000人进行问卷调查.少数民族居民主观幸福感在收入、城乡、受教育程度和婚姻状况上存在显著差异.少数民族居民的主观幸福感总分与社会支持总分、主观支持、客观支持和对支持利用度之间均存在显著性正相关;少数民族居民的主观幸福感总分与文化婚姻压力、家庭生活压力、健康安全压力和社交方面压力均存在显著性负相关.主观支持、客观支持和对支持利用度可以正向预测主观幸福感,文化婚姻压力、家庭生活压力和社交方面压力可以负向预测主观幸福感.     

友谊与大学生主观幸福感研究——对复旦大学本科生的调查分析

采用自填式问卷调查的方法,对复旦大学2011、2012级的859名本科生的主观幸福感（SWB）进行调查,探讨友谊与大学生主观幸福感的关系.通过对调查结果的回归分析,发现对大学生主观幸福感具有显著影响的七个因素在权重上存在差异,其中友谊对大学生幸福感有着显著的影响.同时,已有的比较理论能够很好地解释大学生主观幸福感.     

SERVING AND LEARNING ATA UNIVERSITY LABORATORY SCHOOL: STUDENTS FROM BIRTH THOUGH ADULTHOOD BENEFIT WHEN SERVICE LEARNING IS INTEGRATED INTO THE PRESERVICE CURRICULUM

Service‐Learning (S‐L) pedagogy is attracting increased attention in teacher education. This article describes the implementation of S‐L in the preservice early childhood curriculum, which placed students in a birth‐5 years setting. It identifies a continuum of learning to care, which begins in infancy, as caring capacities emerge, through to adulthood, when preservice teachers learn from experienced mentors how caring characterizes their interactions with learners of all ages. Students’ journals indicate they believe S‐L experiences contribute to their personal, academic and professional development. Carefully implemented S‐L experiences validate students’ caring interactions, give them first‐hand experiences with young children during which they can apply theoretical constructs, provide experiences which help them clarify their own career goals, and make them feel better prepared to manage instructional and classroom management dimensions of working with young children.

高职生生活事件与主观幸福感的关系研究

探讨高职生生活事件与其主观幸福感的关系,为提高高职生的主观幸福感提供科学的理论依据。以扬州职业大学的859名高职生为对象,采用青少年生活事件量袁和幸福幸福感指数量表进行测试。主观幸福感在不同性别、专业、家庭经济状况、是否为独生子女等变量问,均未发现显著性差异。非独生子女的高职生生活事件量表显著高于独生子女,家庭经济宽裕的高职生生活事件量表显著高于家庭经济困难的高职生。生活事件与主观幸福感之间呈显著负相关,主要表现在学习压力和健康适应因子上。结论：生活事件是影响高职生主观幸福感的重要因素。

上海市公共体育设施建设效应评价研究

上海市公共体育设施建设的主要矛盾是市民日益增长的多元化体育需求和公共体育设施建设不平衡、不充分发展之间的矛盾。作为迈向卓越的全球城市，上海正为向市民提供多元化需求的公共体育设施而努力。本文根据“30分钟体育生活圈”的要求，对上海市公共体育设施建设效应进行研判，得出：（1）上海市公共体育设施布局呈现等级性，空间上呈现“中心-外围”特征，形成了“市-区-街道”三级空间尺度的公共体育设施空间布局。（2）上海市公共体育设施空间布局与人口密度分布呈正相关关系。健身点密度、市民球场、市民健身房、市民健身步道与人口密度分布呈现较强的正相关关系；农民健身工程与人口密度分布呈现较强的负相关关系。（3）上海市公共体育设施密度区域差异显著。公共体育设施建设正处于数量增加向质量提升的过渡阶段，正建设与卓越的全球城市和社会主义国际化大都市相匹配的公共体育设施与配套服务。（4）上海市公共体育设施建设总体评价较好，但存在难以满足多元化需求等问题。调查显示，居民对上海市公共体育设施建设的总体评价较好，满意度评价较高，但未满足个性化、多元化需求，在软件环境建设上仍有很大提升空间。
