Language use in kindergarten science lessons: language production and academic language during a video feedback coaching intervention in kindergarten science lessons

This paper aims to gain insight into language production and academic language of 4- and 5-year-old students and their teachers in the course of a teacher intervention during kindergarten science education. The study is based on videotaped classroom observations, and specifically focuses on the academic language use of students (N_intervention = 18, N_controls = 26) and teachers (N_intervention = 5, N_controls = 5). The results suggest that this general teacher intervention yields interesting changes in language use and production. Patterns of change over time confirm the idiosyncratic and non-linear nature of these changes. Science lessons represent an appropriate context in which to acquaint students with academic language, which can be used as a basis to build upon more sophisticated language skills.     

When screens replace backyards: strategies to connect digital-media-oriented young people to nature

Abstract

Children’s connection to nature (CTN) is declining with each generation, a concerning trend given that CTN is positively linked to wellbeing and environmentalism. A primary cause of this decline is that twenty-first-century youth engage with screens for several hours each day, which to a large extent replaces nature-based play. Researchers have proposed that this change represents a transition in human orientation, particularly in Westernized societies, from nature (biophilia) to digital media (videophilia). Interventions promoting nature-based play must acknowledge digital-media use as a competing leisure pursuit, but the literature presents little guidance for designing programs that will attract young people who are more oriented toward digital media than nature. Drawing on a wide breadth of research, we address this gap through (1) exploring the implications of videophilia for nature-based programming and (2) summarizing recommendations from a narrative literature review for designing interventions that appeal to digital-media-oriented youth.     

我国城市房屋拆迁法律制度瑕疵之分析

城市房屋拆迁已经成为当前城市化运动中一项重要活动,然而由于我国城市房屋拆迁法律制度违背宪法与法律,物权保护制度缺位、不同性质拆迁项目混同、房屋补偿标准不明、补偿原则欠公平是导致拆迁纠纷不断产生的根本原因。

浅析我国现行农村土地制度对城市化的影响

我国现有的农村土地制度已不能适应农村城市化发展的需要,因此必须从产权制度、使用制度、流转制度和征用制度等方面来改革和完善农村土地制度,以促进农村城市化发展。     

切实保障农民长期和稳定的土地经营权

中国问题的根本是农民问题,而农民问题的关键是土地问题。如何正确处理农民的土地问题,一直是影响我国农村经济发展和社会政治稳定的重大问题。本文认为农民土地承包权具有物权性质,也是农民最基本的财产权;必须切实保障农民长期和稳定的土地经营权,保持农村土地制度的基本稳定;当前应进一步落实农村土地的确权、确地工作,明确农民土地权属关系,这是推动农村经济稳定发展的一个最基础的工程,也是农村安居乐业的一个基本工程。作者以湖北省的土地二轮延包工作为个案,对如何进一步保障农民的土地权益以及我国土地制度的改革提出政策建议。

透视宋代土地租佃制度——对宋代土地经营过程有关法律思考

宋代土地租佃制在官田和私田上广泛适用。在土地租佃制下,占支配地位的地租形态是实物地租,同时,货币地租也有很大的发展。水佃权的转让及“二地主”的出现更加剧了租佃关系的灵活性和复杂性。宋代土地租佃的性质是一种契约关系,佃农的法律地位有了很大提高,但是这种租佃契约关系在当时全国范围内发展极不平衡。
