Discrete Choice Modeling in Education: An Innovative Method to Assess Teaching Practices

Self‐reported measures are an easy, time‐efficient, and low‐cost way to collect research data compared to other assessment methods. They are, however, characterized by several limitations regarding the quality and the clarity of the data they produce, especially when they are implemented in education. The main purpose of the current study was to use a method called discrete choice modeling (DCM) in education, in order to develop a self‐reported instrument that will reduce the bias for socially desirable responses and to assess teachers’ practices in physical activity. DCM method has the ability to overcome the respondents’ tendency to answer in a socially desirable way. A nationally representative sample of 531 Greek early educators participated in this study and were administered a self‐assessment questionnaire based on DCM. Results showed that the DCM based newly developed instrument manages to assess effectively educators’ practices and provided evidence of the applicability of the method in education. Further implications and future recommendations regarding the effective application of DCM in education are discussed.     

构建我国教练员科学训练能力评估指标体系

目前我国在对教练员训练能力的评价过程中，往往采用看教练员进过哪一级的运动队和根据教练员所带队员取得过怎样的运动成绩来进行评估．由于种种原因造成这种评价方法不能科学、准确、全面和客观地反映教练员的实际训练水平和能力．为此，本文运用文献资料法、特尔斐法、层次分析法等，构建了教练能力科学评估指标体系以及评定的标准与方法，拟对我国教练员的训练能力进行客观、合理、综合的评估。     

中学体育教师能力评价方案的研究

基于领域本体对专利情报知识挖掘的浅析

专利作为企业间竞争博弈的重要信息源,通过对其进行深挖掘可以把握竞争对手的技术发展战略以及未来的产品布局,同时还可借助既有专利信息进行产品发明及再创新,故对专利情报进行有效组织和管理,实现隐性知识发现是当今热点问题.通过以实际工作中血管支架专利分析为例,结合对专利情报本身结构的分析,并引入本体理论,同时借助TRIZ和推理机制等概念,初步探讨基于领域本体的专利情报知识挖掘,拟研究一种可以面向专利用户实现智能化情报挖掘体系,从而有效支持专利知识的共享与重用.

设置实验障碍强化素质教育

为培养“宽专业、厚基础、能力强、素质高”的新型人才，传统的实验教学模式是不能很好地培养学生的创新精神和实践能力的。针对学生对一些纯粹的验证性实验不感兴趣，实验能力得不到提高的现象，笔者在多年的实验教学中，不断总结教学经验，在不影响实验效果的前提下，有意识设置实验障碍，以提高学生分析问题、解决问题的能力。     

如何培养大学生的体育能力

大学生的体育能力,集中反映了大学体育教学的质量。在高校体育教学中,除了单纯的运动技术教学,还应该加强培养大学生各方面的体育能力。依据体育发展身体、增强体质这一本质特征,文章从构成体育能力的六种基本成份:身体锻炼能力、运动能力、创新能力、组织管理能力、保健能力、运用体育环境和条件能力,加以论述培养体育能力的方法。     

如何培养大学生的体育能力

大学生体育能力，集中反映了大学体育教学的质量，在高校体育教学中，应突破单纯为运动技术教学而教学，加强体育能力的培养，适应现代社会进步的需要。     

Development and validation of the Perceived Game-Specific Soccer Competence Scale

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to create a valid, self-reported, game-specific soccer competence scale. A structural model of perceived competence, performance measures and motivation was tested as the basis for the scale. A total of 1321 soccer players (261 females, 1060 males) ranging from 12 to 15 years (13.4 ± 1.0 years) participated in the study. They completed the Perceived Game-Specific Soccer Competence Scale (PGSSCS), self-assessments of tactical skills and motivation, as well as technical and speed and agility tests. Results of factor analyses, tests of internal consistency and correlations between PGSSCS subscales, performance measures and motivation supported the reliability and validity of the PGSSCS. The scale can be considered a suitable instrument to assess perceived game-specific competence among young soccer players.     

当代大学生语言文字应用能力现状及其对策

目前高等院校学生的语言文字应用能力面临着下降的趋势,主要原因是英语热、网络语言的冲击、语文教育、政策的偏颇及社会环境的影响。高校教师要认识到问题的严重性与迫切性,抓住机遇,采取有力措施,提高学生的语言文字应用能力。
