More Powerful Tests of Simple Interaction Contrasts in the Two-Way Factorial Design

For the two-way factorial design in analysis of variance, the current article explicates and compares three methods for controlling the Type I error rate for all possible simple interaction contrasts following a statistically significant interaction, including a proposed modification to the Bonferroni procedure that increases the power of statistical tests for deconstructing interaction effects when they are of primary substantive interest. Results indicate the general superiority of the modified Bonferroni procedure over Scheffé and Roy-type procedures, where the Bonferroni and Scheffé procedures have been modified to accommodate the logical implications of a false omnibus interaction null hypothesis. An applied example is provided and considerations for applied researchers are offered.     

Children’s emotional and behavioral responses to peer provocation and early school adjustment

ABSTRACT

Even very young children think about their own and others’ behavior, including emotions. Such cognitions and emotions about the self and others convey information that is crucial to social interactions and relationships. The current study based on an integrated model of emotion processes and cognition in social information processing (SIP) aimed to explore students’ emotional and behavioral responses in SIP choices, and their association with teacher-reported early school adjustment. Two-hundred and thirty pre-school and first-grade primary school students were interviewed using the Challenging Situations Task (CST). CST assessed students’ emotional and behavioral responses to 12 unambiguous hypothetical peer provocation situations. Children’s preschool and first-grade primary teachers rated children’s early school adjustment with the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation (SCBE-30) measure. The results revealed that children chose mainly sad and angry emotions and socially competent and passive behaviors. We found a relationship both between sad emotions and socially competent behavior choices, and between angry emotion and aggressive behavior choices. Sad emotions and aggressive behavior choices were the main predictors of school adjustment. Children’s responses to peer provocation situations varied depending on how the children interpreted the situations. The results address the importance of children’s SIP and school adjustment.     

论“变现”

文章认为，变现部分国有资产是我国建立社会保障体系和国有经济调整与改组的必然要求。一方面，由于社会保障基金的巨大的缺口，作为一种历史欠债，只能通过变现部分国有资产来偿还。另一方面，由于我国国有经济的战略性调整与改组都需要有部分国有资本通过流动变现与重组来实现。由于国有资本在变现、流动过程中发生的只是形态的转换，因此，不存在私有化问题。同时，只要变现方式得当，各项预定目的是可以实现的。     

构建新型的师生关系

师生关系的状况如何与课堂教学氛围的营造有着直接的密切的关系,新型的师生关系应是平等的朋友关系。教师既是学生的“教师”,也是学生的“朋友”,要尊重理解学生,注重与学生的沟通与交流,努力营造互动的教学氛围、宽松的发展空间。     

探索妇女/性别研究与高等教育共同发展的新路子

自20世纪80年代中期以来,诸多学者在妇女教育和女性学学科建设方面做过许多努力,在是否应该"独立设置学科"这一问题上长久徘徊不前。大连大学性别研究中心在总结多年经验和教训的基础上,探索将妇女/性别研究与高等教育改革结合、共同发展的新路子。一反"独立设科"的传统做法,它倡导的是"渗透"和"互动":将妇女研究成果直接带进校区,以性别分析这一崭新视角全面参与教育改革,使妇女/性别研究原本具备的跨学科、综合性质在教学活动和校园生活中得以体现,将"可持续"前景建立在人才培育、课程建设和校区/社区互动发展进程中。     

CD-ROM talking books: what do they promise?

This study describes one teacher's use of multimedia, specifically CD-ROM talking books, in the classroom. The goal of the investigation was to reveal and analyse how a primary (Grade 3) teacher integrated CD-ROM books into her curriculum. Issues emerging from the study included how features of the software interact with features of classrooms, how patterns of instruction are affected by the infusion of technology, and how students interact with the software, and each other, while reading the CD- ROM books     

Differential recognition of children's cultural practices in middle primary literacy classrooms

This paper argues that teachers' recognition of children's cultural practices is an important positive step in helping socio‐economically disadvantaged children engage with school literacies. Based on 21 longitudinal case studies of children's literacy development over a 3‐year period, the authors demonstrate that when children's knowledges and practices assembled in home and community spheres are treated as valuable material for school learning, children are more likely to invest in the work of acquiring school literacies. However, they also show that while some children benefit greatly from being allowed to draw on their knowledge of popular culture, sports and the outdoors, other children's interests may be ignored or excluded. Some differences in teachers' valuing of home and community cultures appeared to relate to gender dimensions.     

Pedagogical and technological augmentation of mobile learning for young children interactive learning environments

The ubiquity and educational potential of mobile applications are well acknowledged. This paper proposes six theory-based, pedagogical strategies to guide interaction design of mobile apps for young children. Also, to augment the capabilities of mobile devices, we used a humanoid robot integrated with a smartphone and developed an English-learning app that applied the design strategies to this environment. Our observations of children's one-on-one use support the promise of the strategies and the combined use of robots and mobile devices to be a viable option to help optimize mobile learning.
