The Politics of Maintaining Professional Values in the 21st Century

ABSTRACT

Looking ahead, it seems clear that organizing together the values we espouse as a profession could help us to live and work in a global kinesiology community in the best possible way. It is politic, in that it seems sensible and judicious to act on this principle, to organize and maintain a coherent framework of professional values. In which case, it will require that we be political insofar as we collaboratively engage in the process of making uniform decisions that apply to all the members of our profession now, and in the future. To achieve that goal, an important challenge for the next generation of kinesiology is to develop and deliver a values education product that is efficacious and exciting—together. This means we all take responsibility for the mission of delivering a values-education product to the students that fits the goals of our academic unit and institution. This challenge is not just directed at the philosophers and ethicists in our midst. The need for values education spans the kinesiology alphabet. Values and ethical issues are foundational from A to Z, (anatomy to zip-lining), from the most extensive scholarly study to the most intensive physical activity. Total transformation of the curriculum to embrace new best teaching and learning practices entails a new social contract that involves united faculty input and execution. The goal is to develop a future-oriented curriculum that is premised upon the examination and explication of carefully selected and monitored values. The quandary facing us is which values to select and how to effectively base a curriculum on them. Professionals in our field may resonate with this general call to values, but there might be less agreement on the specifics, particularly which values to choose as the basis of our curricula; even less consensus may occur when answering the swampy question of which policies and procedures we should adopt to implement a values-centered program.

How do high school students solve probability problems? A mixed methods study on probabilistic reasoning

When studying a complex research phenomenon, a mixed methods design allows to answer a broader set of research questions and to tap into different aspects of this phenomenon, compared to a monomethod design. This paper reports on how a sequential equal status design (QUAN → QUAL) was used to examine students’ reasoning processes when solving probability problems. A select clustered sampling resulted in the inclusion of 168 high school students in a first, quantitative phase, in which a questionnaire was used to assess how they solved probability problems. This questionnaire included probability items that were based on the outcome orientation, the representativeness misconception, and the equiprobability bias. In a second, qualitative phase, 18 students who were purposefully sampled from the first research phase were interviewed in order to conduct an in-depth study of their probabilistic reasoning processes. In this paper, we illustrate and discuss how several mixed methods research purposes were realized throughout our study: development, expansion, and initiation.     

"夜晚的黑暗工具"--论《麦克白》中的女巫及其预言

《麦克白》是莎士比亚四大悲剧的最后一部,剧中主人公麦克白从一位王亲贵族和著名大将走上了犯罪的道路,除了他自身的野心和权势欲望之外,女巫及其预言的诱惑也起了一定的作用.如夸大女巫及其预言对麦克白所产生的影响和认为女巫们的预言代表了麦克白内心的罪恶愿望都是与剧情格格不入的.     

基于Malmquist-PNN的油田企业技术创新效率评价与智能诊断研究

采用DEA-Malmquist指数分析法对13家上市油田企业2005-2012年间的技术创新效率进行了测量和动态评价,运用概率神经网络PNN实现了对技术创新效率评价结果的智能诊断。研究表明:13家油田企业2005-2012年的全要素生产率未达到效率前沿面,技术创新效率总体上表现的退步趋势主要是由规模效率较低引起的;智能诊断能使决策者快速有效的判断出技术无效的决策单元和决策单元的效率模式,并根据不同的效率模式提出针对性的改善策略。

提出了基于概率神经网络的微阵列数据分析方法。该方法采用Wrapper模式,将基因选择整合到组织分类任务中,并给出了采用随机寻优的特征子集搜索算法。实际的生物学实验数据证明该方法有较高的分类准确性,选择的基因集合与组织类别有较高相关性。     

基于前馈型神经网络股价预测的一点改进

为减小预测误差,目前的方法是:选择对股价有显著影响的输入变量、调整网络结构及选择合适的参数、优化学习算法,这些方法都是以实际股价作为网络的预测。提出以相邻两天的股价差价作为网络的预测,在相同的数据上分别建立股价预测模型和股价的差价预测模型,并对它们的结果进行对比分析。结果表明差价预测模型的预测误差小、预测效果好。

一种基于隐式信任感知的MOOCs推荐方法

[目的/意义]随着MOOCs迅猛发展和普及,如何利用智能推荐技术为学习者从海量的MOOC中"寻找最佳课程"成为MOOC发展中需要解决的重要课题。[方法/过程]基于自我知觉理论和学习行为投入框架,充分利用学习行为日志和评分数据挖掘学习者之间的隐式信任关系,并通过信任传播建立MOOC社区信任网络,从而构建动态结合兴趣和隐式信任感知的混合推荐方法。为解决数据稀疏问题,提出基于信任的联合概率矩阵分解模型(TA-PMF),将课程评分矩阵、信任关系矩阵的分解相结合来挖掘用户及课程潜在特征,进而实现评分预测。[结果/结论]真实数据集测试结果表明,与显性评分值相比,学习行为投入信息对信任度构建贡献权重达到0.7;TA-PMF方法对MOOC推荐具有较好的适用性,且能在一定程度上缓解冷启动问题。
