Teaching Prospect Theory with the Deal or No Deal Game Show

Recent evidence indicates that decision makers are more sensitive to potential losses than gains. Loss aversion psychology has led behavioural economists to look beyond expected utility by developing prospect theory. We demonstrate this theory using the Deal or No Deal game show.

USING STRUCTURE INFORMATION TO GUIDE DIAGNOSIS

为了快速得到“模型诊断”中的最优测量点，建立了系统的二值模型；它只包含候选故障元，且它们的因果关系与原系统保持一致，然后，利用结构信息区分候选诊断．这种方法可看成是期望熵法的极值结构特征提取．直接适用于连续或离散系统．这样可以采用“对分法”在Ｏ（Ｎ２）时间内给出一个优化测量点．     

体育测量中确定测量次数的研究

体育测量中,通过增加重复测量次数可减小随机误差,达到提高测量的可靠性。但测量次数的增加,进行测量所付出的代价也会加大,特别是体育测量中还要考虑受试者的生理、心理承受能力及测量客观条件等因素。正确的确定所需测量次数,是进行体育测量首先要解决的实际问题。笔者对确定合适的体育测量次数进行分析和探讨。     

负重振动练习与超等长练习对篮球运动员下肢力量影响的对比实验研究

利用K islter测力台,运用对比实验的方法,将一种新的负重振动力量训练法与超等长跳深练习法进行实验研究,发现两种方法对影响篮球运动员下肢力量有着不同的特点,并运用运动生理和生物力学知识进行了相应的分析和判断。     

骨密度的测定方法及影响因素

介绍骨密度测量的常用方法,并系统划分影响骨密度的因素。判断骨密度与年龄的关系,为青少年的年龄推断提供依据,得出骨密度随着年龄的增长而出现与年龄相关的骨质量减少。根据测量青少年的骨密度来解释为什么男孩在青春期后期比女孩发育得快;特别对女性进行调查发现,体重与瘦组织和脂肪组织在男女各个部位的骨密度都有一定的相关性;体育锻炼对其骨质量峰值期和衰老下降期的影响及运动负荷与骨质量的关系,发现女性在绝经后期骨质量快速下降。老年退行性骨质量丢失和绝经后骨质量丢失的综合效应以及峰值骨质量低于男性的特点,使得老年妇女骨质疏松发生的危险性高于任何人,雌激素水平低下是长期的剧烈运动训练引起骨密度偏低的主要原因。

What Do We Really Know About the edTPA? Research,PACT, and Packaging a Local Teacher Performance Assessment for National Use

This article calls attention to the overreliance on research about the Performance Assessment for California Teachers (PACT)—often labeled edTPA's predecessor—as justification for the edTPA. The article argues that the distinctions between the assessments are too vast to rely on PACT data to support the edTPA, given the localized nature of PACT and the way in which it is scored.     

A Quantum Measurement Paradigm for Educational Predicates: Implications for validity in educational measurement

Abstract

The outcomes of educational assessments undoubtedly have real implications for students, teachers, schools and education in the widest sense. Assessment results are, for example, used to award qualifications that determine future educational or vocational pathways of students. The results obtained by students in assessments are also used to gauge individual teacher quality, to hold schools to account for the standards achieved by their students, and to compare international education systems. Given the current high-stakes nature of educational assessment, it is imperative that the measurement practices involved have stable philosophical foundations. However, this article casts doubt on the theoretical underpinnings of contemporary educational measurement models. Aspects of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy and Bohr’s philosophy of quantum theory are used to argue that a quantum theoretical rather than a Newtonian model is appropriate for educational measurement, and the associated implications for the concept of validity are elucidated. Whilst it is acknowledged that the transition to a quantum theoretical framework would not lead to the demise of educational assessment, it is argued that, where practical, current high-stakes assessments should be reformed to become as ‘low-stakes’ as possible. This article also undermines some of the pro high-stakes testing rhetoric that has a tendency to afflict education.
