Correlates of psychosocial adjustment in deaf adolescents with and without cochlear implants: a preliminary investigation

The number of children who have received cochlear implants (CIs) has increased dramatically in the past two decades. In view of potential concerns about their psychosocial adjustment, our aim was to assess the effect of implants on the adolescents' psychosocial functioning among a group of 57 deaf adolescents with and without CIs, using published and validated measures completed by the adolescents themselves, their parents, and teachers. Adolescents with CI tended to be more hearing acculturated, whereas those without CI tended to be more Deaf acculturated. Despite some differences in background characteristics between the two groups, there were no differences between them on the psychosocial variables assessed in this study, regardless of the reporting sources. Rather than having a direct effect on the psychosocial outcomes assessed in this study, it is through the mediating effect of acculturation and school setting that CI status exerts an influence over many of this study's outcomes. Recommendations for future research are made in light of our findings.     

年龄、性别对青少年价值观影响的相关性研究

目的：了解年龄、性别对价值观的影响。方法：运用Rokeach编制的“价值调查表”对岳阳市四所高校，12所中学的各年级2251名学生进行调查，从年龄、性别上分析其对价值观取向的影响。结果：青少年价值观总的来看相当一致，无论哪个团体都比较一致的显示出“世界和平”、“国家安全”、“有所作为”、“有能力”、“有抱负”是评价最高的几种价值观，但也存在团体差异，男性要重视“勇敢”，女性则崇尚“胸怀宽广”与“聪明”，随着年龄的增长“自由”、“独立”、“社会承认”、“负责任”等自主自立价值逐渐增强，而“钟情”、“成熟的爱”在青春期心理发育与性成熟过程中有起落。结论：年龄、性别对价值观有一定的影响，价值观是文化背景与个性因素综合影响的结果。

Research in Educational and Vocational Guidance in the Nordic Countries: Current Trends

The Nordic countries have followed slightly different, yet complementary paths in terms of research in guidance. The balance between studies in guidance based on sociology, psychology, and even ethnology varies according to the research focus and tradition in each of the Nordic countries. This article covers main Nordic guidance research issues with characteristic examples from the various countries under the headings of Structures, Contents, and Values. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

When Negotiation of Meaning is also Negotiation of Task

Much recent research in mathematics education has been concerned with the negotiation of meaning between students or between students and teacher. But meaning is always meaning in particular context. Therefore, the negotiation of meaning presupposes a taken-to-be-shared understanding of the situation. In familiar situations, this is relatively unproblematic, but it becomes less so in instances where more than one interpretation of the task at hand is possible. This is perhaps the core of the apparent problems many students seem to have when working with applied mathematics. When more students are working together in such situation, a negotiation of the perspective from which the content should be adderessed must be undertaken.I analyse an example which illustrates not only how students discuss how to pursue the task, but also how they do this with reference to the mathematics classroom as the setting for the activity. The example will illustrate how negotiation of meaning and task may be linked in ways infelicitous to the learning of modelling and critical reflections. Thus, students may be caught in a double-bind of psychological support and subject matter control.
