The role of stimulus salience in young children's ability to discriminate two-dimensional rotations: Reflections on a paradigm

Children's ability to discriminate reflections and rotations of visual stimuli was examined within the confines of a mental rotation task. It was hypothesized that success would be affected by both characteristics of the stimulus and by the subtlety of the discrimination required. Forty 3- to 4-year-old children were directed to mentally rotate a stimulus a given number of degrees and to discriminate the appearance of the rotated stimulus from among a set of alternatives. Four stimuli differing in the number of visual orientation cues were utilized across 24 trials. A significant effect was found for number of orientation cues, and data indicated the difficulty children experienced detecting reflections, a task which bears close resemblance to the yes/no option in prototypic rotation studies. Children were only successful with a limited range of stimuli when discrimination of a reflected foil was not required. Results are discussed in light of discrepant findings about children's kinetic imagery ability and the advisability of using this particular paradigm with young Children.     

康奈尔大学章程对我国大学章程建设的启示

大学章程是由大学权利机构制定的治校总纲领,它作为国家高等教育立法体系以外的且与高等学校内部管理密切相关的制度规则,事关高等学校权力配置、发展目标、师生权利义务实现、社会资助与回馈等重大问题,在大学发展中起着重要作用。通过对康奈尔大学的大学章程文本的整理,对其大学章程中的大学使命、办学理念、大学事务管理体制、董事会制度、教授治校、章程的制定与修改等方面的分析,建议中国大学章程要彰显有特色的办学理念,要有可操作性,减少抽象性表述,应对"教授参与管理"有明确的规定,应完善大学章程的制定、修改程序。     

我国高校学术生态系统的透视

学术是高校的核心价值所在。随着时代变迁,学术的内涵逐渐丰富,但同时学术价值取向偏离的问题也逐渐显现。上世纪90年代初,美国教育学家欧内斯特.博耶从全新的角度提出高校学术观。本研究以该理论为依据,首先阐明我国高校学术生态系统的运行机制,继而论述我国高校学术生态系统投入与产出的失衡现象,并从国家宏观调控、学校内部管理以及学术成果转化等方面分析失衡成因,最后从以上三个方面提出促进我国高校学术生态系统平衡的策略。     

全民健身视域下高校社会体育指导员培养的"冲突"与"共融"

采用文献资料、访谈、问卷调查、数理统计等方法,对全民健身视域下的社会体育指导员需求情况、高校社会体育指导员培养现状、高校社会体育指导员培养与社会需求的"冲突"与"共融",以及高校培养主动适应社会需求的社会体育指导员策略等展开深入调查与研究.研究认为,全民健身开展催生社会体育指导员的社会需求,高校为迎合全民健身发展开设社会体育指导与管理专业培养专业社会体育指导员是适应社会体育发展需要的,但目前高校社会体育指导员培养"冲突"大于"共融".高校在培养专业社会体育指导员过程中应加强市场调研,以主动适应社会需求为导向加强课程改革,加强学科研究,提升办学水平,为全民健身事业健康持续发展提供专业人才服务.

Urban sportscapes: An environmental deterministic perspective on the management of youth sport participation

This paper examines sport participation from an environmental perspective by considering the dynamic role of the sportscape (built-form and supporting infrastructure) in enabling, facilitating and promoting youth sport participation. Complementing recent work by Wicker et al. (2013), we conduct a case study of the ‘geography of sport’ in the Greater Toronto Area. In the process we introduce the concept of facility ‘gravitas’ to capture the attractiveness or ‘magnetism’ of sportscape entities and thereby acknowledge the multifaceted sets of environmental factors (including the bricks-and-mortar of facilities and the supporting mechanisms such as transportation, coaches and clubs) that influence sport participation. The results demonstrate that the geography of sport is not only about where sport venue built-forms are located, but also what types of sport infrastructure are available. To develop a better understanding of sport participation it is important to assess the capacity and quality of the sportscape along with other supporting structures and facilitators. The paper points to the implications for managers and policy makers from this perspective.
