Regional networks in education: a case study of an Austrian project

This case study presents the development of networks in education, using the Austrian IMST (Innovations Make Schools Top) project as illustration. The regional networks are coordinated in every Austrian federal province by groups made up of teachers, representatives of the educational authorities, and members of academia. In the framework of the IMST project, all networks are monitored by a team of the Institute of Instructional and School Development at the University of Klagenfurt. This article presents theoretical concepts, network structures and network activities, as well as evaluation data. The overall challenge in trying to enable sustainable development of learning of those involved might be described as keeping momentum between network structures and network processes or, in other words, between stability and flow.     

The effects of Reading Recovery on children’s literacy progress and special educational needs status: a three-year follow-up study

Reading Recovery (RR) is an intensive one-to-one reading intervention programme designed for five- to six-year-old children who are the lowest literacy achievers after one year of formal tuition. RR has been shown to have impressive effects in the short-term, particularly on those measures tailored to, and designed for, the programme. However, less is known about the programme’s long-term effectiveness. The present study followed up at the end of Year 4: 120 comparison children, 73 children who had received RR three years earlier, and 48 children in RR schools who had not received RR. We found that the children who had received RR achieved an average National Curriculum (NC) level of 3b in reading which indicates being on track for Level 4 at the end of Key Stage 2. The comparison children were on average at Level 2a in reading, significantly lower than the RR. RR children were also significantly less likely than comparison children to be identified as having a special educational need at the end of Year 3. These findings indicate that effects of the RR programme are still apparent three years post-intervention.

大学生网络使用现状调查研究——以昆明地区的高校为例

大学生网络成瘾的比例较大。使用基本情况调查表和Young的网络成瘾调查问卷对昆明地区617名大学生使用网络的调查显示：大学生上网非常普遍,对待网络的态度较积极,能积极使用网络服务项目;上网原因主要为朋友怂恿、无聊和好奇;网络成瘾检出率为5％;不同性别、专业、年级的学生上网次数、时间和进行网络游戏有差异。应根据大学生网络使用特点,利用其积极因素,有针对性地实施教育干预,引导大学生健康上网。

“诊所式法律教育”模式在中国的实践

起源于美国的诊所式法律教育在2000年前后引入我国,但尚未普遍展开。诊所式教育的推进面临着被学院式教育同化、建设资源匮乏、学生时间投入不足等问题。其主要原因在于我国法律教育理念缺乏主体性价值、传统教育目标和教学评价体系的限制以及司法考试制度的片面引导。为此,在中国推进诊所式法律教育的基本思路在于建设资源的多元化、法学教育体制的改革及司法考试制度的改革。     

论公立高校与教育职员的关系

高校行政人员实行职员制是高校人事分类管理的需要,旨在促进高校内部管理的专业化。国外公立高校与管理人员之间的关系的共同特点是:受公法调整,且大多纳入了司法审查的范围。我国公立高校与职员之间的关系属于内部行政关系,但当职员身份丧失时,这种内部行政关系就转化为外部行政关系,应纳入司法审查的范围。职员与教师之间的关系,实质上是职员所代表的公立高校与教师之间的关系。     

浅论在我国建立未成年人犯罪记录消除制度的必要性

未成年人犯罪无论是在特点方面还是在成因方面都与成年人犯罪有着显著的区别,所以应当建立符合未成年犯罪人特点的各项司法制度,其中一个重要的制度即为未成年人犯罪记录消除制度。这不仅能够帮助未成年犯罪人走出其在服刑完毕后重回社会时所遇到的困境,也能够体现我国对未成年人权益保护的重视、顺应我国的刑事政策,更能够顺应青少年犯罪治理的世界发展潮流、符合青少年法治的精神,能够切实地保障未成年犯罪人受到公平对待的权利。     

Scallywags – an evaluation of a service targeting conduct disorders at school and at home

Conduct disorder (CD) is one of the most common childhood psychiatric disorders. Some research has focused on reducing conduct difficulties through parent training programmes. However, there has been limited research focusing on early intervention services that deal with emotional and/or conduct problems in a community setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the Scallywags service, a multi‐component, early intervention scheme, offering support in the educational and home setting. A total of 411 children, aged 3 to 7 years, was included in this study. Two behaviour inventories were used as the outcome measures. Parents and teachers completed these pre, post, and six months after the intervention. Results demonstrate significant decreases in child conduct problems after the six months intervention, with this change maintained six months later. This study adds to growing research illustrating the importance of multi‐component, early intervention schemes to reduce child conduct problems.
