“三位一体”自费留学人员行前培训模式的理论构建及其实施方案

为了维护广大留学人员的根本利益,推动出国留学工作持续健康发展,2012年,教育部在我校建立"教育部出国留学培训与研究中心"(以下简称中心),本研究在此背景下尝试探索建立全新的出国留学人员行前培训机制。本研究分析了开展自费出国留学人员行前培训的必要性,提出了"三位一体"自费出国留学行前培训模式,构建了该模式的基本形态,接下来分析了开展该培训的可行性,制订了培训方案,提出了观察、问卷调查、访谈等培训效果的具体评价方式,制定了培训宣传的具体途径、收费办法和标准等。此外,本研究以理论结合实际的思路,剖析了当前方案实施中可能遇到的如经费、收费办法和标准、工作量的计量、与其他部门的沟通等问题,并提出了应对措施。     

整体语言视角下的英语语法教学实践研究

分析了英语语法教学存在的问题,提出了教学改革的必要性。通过对整体语言教学理论的阐述,运用此教学理念于语法教学实践,提出了“语篇导入、任务贯穿、技能融合”的语法教学新模式。     

试析“翻转课堂”在中职学校教学的利与弊

翻转课堂教学也称“反转课堂式教学模式”,是一种全新的教学模式。翻转课堂在我国还处于起步阶段,但已成为教育界热议的话题。对于这一新兴的教学模式,教育工作者应该积极研究和探索,用一分为二的方法,用其利而避其弊。     

日汉“顔／脸”的惯用语的认知语义对比研究

从认知语言学的视角分析日汉“顔／脸”的惯用语的引申义。通过分析可以知道：词义转移都是基于隐喻、转喻以及建立在转喻基础上的隐喻来实现的。认知语义在转义时的一致性表现为4个方面,非一致性表现为7个方面。任何语言的背后都隐藏着由来和历史、语言的特征。在反映文化的个性的同时,文化的原因又对语言起着制约和限定的作用。由于所居环境、生活行为方式不相同,对客观世界的认知千差万别,直接形成了各民族惯用语的不同特色。日汉“顔／脸”惯用语的隐喻、转喻的探索研究,将有利于对跨文化交际活动的认知和理解,从而促进跨文化交际活动的顺利实现。     

Advanced Math Course Taking: Effects on Math Achievement and College Enrollment

Using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002–2006, the authors investigated the effects of advanced math course taking on math achievement and college enrollment and how such effects varied by socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity. Results from propensity score matching and sensitivity analyses showed that advanced math course taking had positive effects on math achievement and college enrollment. Results also demonstrated that the effect of advanced math course taking on math achievement was greater for low socioeconomic status students than for high socioeconomic status students, but smaller for Black students than for White students. No interaction effects were found for college enrollment. Limitations, policy implications, and future research directions are discussed.     

Reexamining the Impact of Nonnormality in Two-Group Comparison Procedures

The authors performed a Monte Carlo simulation to empirically investigate the robustness and power of 4 methods in testing mean differences for 2 independent groups under conditions in which 2 populations may not demonstrate the same pattern of nonnormality. The approaches considered were the t test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Welch-James test with trimmed means and Winsorized variances, and a nonparametric bootstrap test. Results showed that the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Welch-James test with trimmed means and Winsorized variances were not robust in terms of type I error control when the 2 populations showed different patterns of nonnormality. The nonparametric bootstrap test provided power advantages over the t test. The authors discuss other results from the simulation study and provide recommendations.     

高等学校《公共体育》课程“课内外一体化”教学模式的构建

目的：在解读“课内外一体化”教学模式提出背景的基础上,结合淮南高校“课内外一体化”教学模式的实践,从教学内容体系、教学组织形式、教学管理和运行机制、教学评价体系等方面对“课内外一体化”教学模式进行了构建,分析了实施“课内外一体化”教学模式的影响因素,提出建议,为改进“课内外一体化”教学模式下高校《公共体育》课程教学提供参考。结论：《公共体育》课程“课内外一体化”教学模式的构建必须以“健康第一”、“素质教育”、“终身体育”等教学指导思想为依据,着力解决场馆器材设施的缺乏、教师的教学理念没有及时转变、课外体育活动管理的合力形成不够、其它学科和课外体育活动产生冲突等问题。建议：加强体育设施经费的投入;以学习研讨方式促进教师改变教学理念;加强课外体育活动管理合力的形成;课程安排时需要给学生预留课外体育活动时间。     

试论交通方式变迁对近代山东运河城市的影响——以济宁的兴衰为例

交通运输方式在城市发展过程中起着重要作用,它的变迁会对城市的兴衰会产生重大影响。以济宁为例探讨交通运输方式的变迁对近代山东运河城市兴衰的影响。随着元朝京杭大运河的贯通,河运成为沟通南北,发展漕运的重要交通运输方式。依靠河运,山东运河城市迅速发展起来,其时它们经济发达,文化兴盛,政治地位提高。但至清末,新兴的交通运输方式铁路兴起,对山东运河城市产生了重大影响。铁路分流了运河的大部分客货运量,因铁路而兴起的新的转运贸易中心和交通枢纽也对运河城市造成了冲击,铁路使山东运河城市在全国整体的经济、交通与城市层次体系中被边缘化,走向衰落。     

Categories as Rhetorical Barriers and the Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina

I explore the role of categories as rhetorical barriers in organizations responding to crisis (Veil, 2011 Veil, S. R. (2011). Mindful learning in crisis management. Journal of Business Communication, 48(2), 116–147. doi:10.1177/0021943610382294[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]). I analyze some problematic categories of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the categories’ impact on the organizations’ response to Hurricane Katrina. My analysis shows that unintended and perverse consequences (Giddens, 1984 Giddens, A. (1984). The constitution of society: Outline of the theory of structuration. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press. [Google Scholar], 1987 Giddens, A. (1987). Social theory and modern sociology. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press. [Google Scholar]) reversed the power of a key legitimated category (Orlikowski, 1995 Orlikowski, W. J. (1995). Categories: Concept, content, and context. Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 3, 73–78.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]; Giddens, 1984 Giddens, A. (1984). The constitution of society: Outline of the theory of structuration. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press. [Google Scholar]) and exposed a set of reified categories (Giddens, 1984 Giddens, A. (1984). The constitution of society: Outline of the theory of structuration. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press. [Google Scholar]).     

Bridging theory and practice: a conceptual framework for consulting organisations

A growing number of organisations are emerging as partners to districts pursuing systemic improvement. Given the critical role a consulting organisation could play in supporting system reform efforts, how does a district leader looking to establish a consulting partnership determine what characteristics in a consulting organisation may be more likely to yield success? This paper utilises an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach for two purposes: (1) to assess whether the quality domains of consultants most prevalent in the literature are consistent with multiple sources of expert knowledge at the point of practice and (2) to determine which, if any, quality domains of consultants are perceived as more important than others for partnership success. Overall, the findings corroborated that the domains identified through the literature are influential to partnership success. While no specific domain or set of domains emerged as most dominant, interpersonal skills and content expertise are foundational indicators that crosscut the other domains.
