Test-Based Learning: Inconsistent Effects Between Higher- and Lower-Level Test Questions

Providing test questions after an initial study phase is a common instructional technique. In theory, questions that require higher-level (deep) processing should be more beneficial than those that require lower-level (shallow) processing. However, empirical evidence on the matter is inconsistent. To shed light on two potential reasons for these inconsistencies, we conducted an experiment (N = 81) to analyze the role of (a) the share of information to which test questions direct learners and (b) the learning activities performed in the initial study phase with respect to the effects between higher- and lower-level test questions. We found that both the share of focused information and the initial learning activities moderated the effects between higher- and lower-level test questions.     

The interplay between self-determined motivation,self-regulated cognitive strategies,and prior achievement in predicting academic performance

The present study examined the interplay between self-determined motivation and the use of cognitive strategies in predicting university students’ academic performance while taking into account the effect of prior achievement. A theory based model was tested using structural equation modeling on a sample of 764 Italian university students. Results showed that prior achievement influenced students’ academic performance and their motivation and use of cognitive strategies. Critical thinking was the only cognitive strategy which proved to have a significant impact on students’ academic performance. Autonomous motivation had an indirect positive impact on academic performance through its influence on the critical thinking strategy. Controlled motivation had a direct negative impact on academic performance. On the whole, our findings suggest that autonomously motivated students tend to achieve better academic performance by using critical thinking, while students who are driven by controlled motivation have lower academic performance.     

谎言的语用特征

谎言是一种语用现象,多发生在言语交际中,因此必须有交际者及其认知语境因素的参与。交际者的主体性、认知语境的因人而异性和动态性使得谎言具有主体性、灵活性和动态性的特征。     

音乐教育与人脑开发研究进展

近十几年来,随着认知神经科学和脑功能检测技术的飞速发展,音乐与大脑之间的关系日渐引起神经科学家的关注。越来越多的研究表明,音乐学习和训练对人的影响不止于情感,它对脑的发育、认知发展确有一种积极效应。对这一问题的深入研究,不仅可以帮助人类解密大脑＂黑匣＂,而且还能深化人们对音乐教育价值的认识,使音乐教育在更加广义的人类发展和人类潜能开发方面表现出更大的作为。     

基于供应链中不确定性的生产计划研究

供应链管理环境下的企业,将面临复杂多变的市场环境,信息的多源性、多态性和不确定性,增加了其在供应链环境下制定生产计划的复杂性和难度。论文以全球供应链为研究背景,分析了供应链环境下生产计划信息不确定性的主要根源,从不同角度分析了供应链信息不确定性对生产计划的影响,指出如何通过信息共享机制与弱化信息不确定性等提高生产计划动态响应性的方法。     

浅析认知心理学在大学生法律基础教育中的应用

2~n-周期序列的k错线性复杂度期望的界

对于有限域F2上的满线性复杂度的2n-周期序列和奇数k≥3,通过对k错线性复杂度的取值范围和相应的序列个数的分析,得到其k错线性复杂度期望的上界和下界。     

从认知语言学的角度理解文化语义

界定词语的文化语义,并从认知语言学角度阐述中英文化语义存在着非对应性,它随着人类社会文化的变迁而相互渗透,因此英语学习者在学习英语语言的同时应该注重文化知识的积累。     

On Equivalence of Public Sign Translation from the Perspective of the Relevance Theory

At present,with the development of the city culture and globalization,bilingual signs are more widely used in the society.Among the public sign translations,there are many successful examples.But,at the same time,many problems such as mistranslation and poor translation widely exist in the process of promotion of city culture.The relevance theory interprets translation from the original author’s and translator’s cognitive surroundings,thus bringing a new approach for translation,especially for applied text translation.Based on the previous study,the author analyzes the equivalent effect of sign translation from the perspective of the relevance theory and summarizes some principles and strategies for public sign translation,in hope of helping the promotion of the city image and culture.     

试论认知结构化的课件开发思想

上世纪70年代,认知主义学习理论渐渐形成,我国从90年代起,人们将该理论引入多媒体课件开发领域,逐渐形成了认知结构化的课件开发思想。认知主义研究学习者内在的认知结构和外界环境相互影响,揭示学习的规律和学习本质。认知结构化的课件开发思想以带有认知主义理论色彩的学习法则来指导课件设计,在课件的信息结构、设计原则和教学设计倾向方面体现着认知主义学习理论的基本观点。
