The role of strengths in anger and conduct problems in maltreated adolescents

Despite multi-type maltreatment, some individuals demonstrate positive adaptation and continue to develop in a healthy way. A multitude of strength factors have been linked to adaptive functioning and resilience, but this has not been adequately examined in maltreated adolescent’s psychosocial functioning. This study sought to examine the role of strengths such as having talents/interests, family relationships, educational support, the role of the recognition and application of these strengths, and the role of multi-type maltreatment on anger control and conduct problems. One hundred and thirty participants (61 males; 69 females) aged 13–19 years old were rated using the Singapore version of Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool. The results revealed that certain strengths were associated with anger and conduct problems, but the recognition and application of strengths emerged as a consistently significant predictor for both outcomes. Hence, to understand and apply one’s strengths may be equally as important as merely possessing those strengths. This study extends current understanding of the importance of strengths with a group of maltreated adolescents in an Asian context. Adopting a person-centered and strength-based approach will further enhance the effectiveness of interventions and improve outcomes for maltreated adolescents living in residential care.     

Exploring mechanisms of rapid automatized naming to arithmetic skills in Chinese primary schoolers

Rapid automatized naming (RAN) is associated with children's arithmetic performance, which is multifactorial by nature and consists of arithmetic fluency, arithmetic procedure, and word problems. Yet, it is unclear whether RAN can predict all key aspects of arithmetic skills independently and what cognitive mechanisms may explain this relation. Using a sample of Chinese primary school students (N = 170), results showed that while RAN was associated with all key aspects of arithmetic skills, the relations of RAN–arithmetic procedure and RAN–word problems may be dependent on that of RAN–arithmetic fluency. Supporting the processing speed hypothesis, results further suggested that processing speed may underlie the relation between RAN and arithmetic performance. Findings made unique contribution to understanding the effect of RAN on arithmetic performance and cognitive mechanisms that may underpin this association in the context of Chinese culture.

Is Reading Recovery sustainable two to four years after discontinuation?

The Reading Recovery programme has been a key early literacy intervention in many international contexts for over two decades. As a consequence, there have been numerous investigations into its efficacy for short-term gains, but only a few on long-term sustainability. This study examines the progress of 95 Year 4–6 students from seven schools in the rural hinterland of New Zealand. Standardised data were collected from students who had been successfully discontinued from Reading Recovery two to four years previously and compared them with mean performance from the same school populations. Results showed that only Year 6 students obtained the mean scores which placed them within the national average range. Our results also showed that whilst almost half of the ex-Reading Recovery students we studied, fell within the average band, 45% were classified as well below average.     

过程教育在浙教版九上第三章《圆》中的体现浅析

知识是什么,是思考的结果、经验的结果。仅仅教结果的教育是不能教智慧的,智慧往往表现在过程中。有关过程的东西只有通过过程来教,过程的教育能够培养我们的孩子正确的思考方法,最终培养孩子数学的直观。因此我们要强调过程的教育,在过程中判断他的思维是不是对的。     

西部新农村建设地方高校的重大使命

建设社会主义新农村是中国现代化进程中的重大历史使命,西部地区的新农村建设尤其任重而道远。地方高校为西部新农村服务,既是满足社会的需要,也是高校自身发展的需要。因此高校探求服务新农村建设的新模式,是建设西部新农村的必要途径。绵阳师范学院"全国千县工程信息员培训基地"的成立是我校服务社会主义新农村建设的具体体现,为新农村建设培训优秀信息员奠定了良好的基础。

西部大开发与农村教育发展的走向

农村教育是困扰中国农村三大难题之一。西部大开发给了农村教育从低层次单一性走向各级、各类、各层次教育全面发展的必要与可能,建议采取“在教育事业发展基础上以提高教育质量为目标的战略取向”。农村教育告别“工具论”,走向“主体论”,其重要标志是看能否以“把教育公正与公平放在首位”作为教育发展价值的最大化;其科学方式是通过信息技术教育实现跨越式发展;其前提是建立贫困地区农村义务教育投入的保证机制。
