Should I stay or should I go? Predictors and effects of studying abroad during high school

In an increasingly globalized and culturally diverse world, extended stays abroad during high school are considered important opportunities for acquiring and improving a variety of skills, most importantly, language achievement. This study examines both predictors and effects of studying abroad in an English-speaking country during high school, using population data from the second largest city in Germany (N = 5361; 13% went abroad). In order to determine the most central predictors of studying abroad, we employed logistic regression models in which students’ socioeconomic background emerged as the strongest predictor of studying abroad. To test the effects of studying abroad, we applied propensity score matching. Studying abroad had positive effects on standardized achievement, grades, and course choice in English, whereas it had hardly any effects on outcomes in math. Implications for studying abroad during high school and future research directions are discussed.

保险利益立法的缺陷与完善建议

虽现行《保险法》第12条第6款对保险利益下总括性定义，但该界定模糊，导致对保险利益的理解不一致，在具体适用时，争议颇多，法官的自由裁量权难以把控，易将保险利益界定扩大或不合理缩小。故应对财产保险利益的范围明确列举，采取法定权利人、占有人、管理人以及合同主体的分类列举方式；人身保险利益的范围增加具有法定保险利益的人员，将各国所普遍承认的合伙人、债务人等与投保人具有商业利益关系的相关人员列入，同意原则需加以被保险人书面同意方式的要求；同时，为适应保险市场的发展，增加对保险利益转移和消灭的规定。

Students’ perceptions of the academic environment and approaches to studying in British postgraduate business education

Recent research on student learning in higher education has identified clear associations between variations in students’ perceptions of the academic environment and variations in their study behaviour. This study investigated a general theoretical model linking students’ demographic characteristics, perceptions and study behaviour with measures of outcome, and in particular, compared three accounts of the causal relationship between perceptions and study behaviour. Data were obtained from 469 postgraduate students at six British business schools. Path analysis was used to assess the causal relationships among the students’ age and gender, their scores on the Course Experience Questionnaire, their scores on the Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory and their ratings of general satisfaction with their programmes. This yielded evidence for the causal efficacy of most of the paths identified in the general theoretical model. In particular, as in the case of students taking more traditional academic subjects, there exists a bidirectional causal relationship between variations in students’ perceptions of the academic environment and variations in their study behaviour.

孤独者的悲情韧战——《野草·这样的战士》解读
