'She just got me’: supporting care experienced young people negotiating relationships and identities at school

In this article we examine the complex relationship between care experience, mental health and exclusion from school and how young people (YP) negotiate these different experiences and identities. The study is a secondary analysis, informed by symbolic interactionist theory, of interviews conducted with 19 care experienced YP in Scotland. Not all of the YP were excluded and not all had a formal mental health diagnosis, as such our study design allows interrogation of the contexts and relationships which not only facilitate but also disrupt pathways to exclusion. It also allows reconsideration of assumptions of vulnerability which are often applied to care experienced YP. Our findings suggest that these YP are moving beyond ‘role playing’ the identities ascribed to them and actively seek out relationships which enable them to construct alternative identities.     

The Unintentional Effects on Body Donation Programs of a Competency-Based Curriculum in Postgraduate Medical Education

As medical programs place increasing importance on competency-based training and surgical simulations for residents, anatomy laboratories, and body donation programs find themselves in a position of adapting to changing demands. To better assess the demand for “life-like” cadaveric specimens and evaluate the possible impacts that competency-based medical education could have upon the body donation program of McGill University, Canada, the authors tracked, over the course of the last 10 years, the number of soft-embalmed specimens, along with the number of teaching sessions and the residents enrolled in competency-based programs that are using cadaveric material. The results reveal that the number of soft-embalmed specimens used within residency training increased from 5 in 2009 to 35 in 2019, representing an increase from 6% of bodies to 36.5% of the total number of body donors embalmed in this institution. Correspondingly, the number of annual teaching sessions for residents increased from 19 in 2012 to 116 in 2019. These increases in teaching are correlated with increasing number of residents enrolled in competency-based programs over the last 3 years (Pearson r ranging from 0.9705 to 0.9903, and R² ranging from 0.9418 to 0.9808). Those results suggest that the new skill-centered curricula which require residents to perform specific tasks within realistic settings, exhibit a growing demand for “life-like” cadaveric specimens. Institutions’ body donation programs must, therefore, adapt to those greater need for cadaveric specimens, which presents many challenges, ranging from the logistical to the ethical.     

The RIX Wiki: the use of multimedia advocacy to support person-centred planning in a special needs secondary school – implications for current policy and practice

The article documents findings from a pilot study undertaken in 2012–2013 in a special needs secondary school in the England, that trialled the use of a multimedia advocacy tool, “The RIX Wiki”. The trial was part of the pathfinder programme, which aimed to reform existing Special Education Needs provision, from the system of statementing to one of developing education health care plans. The reforms became enshrined in the Children and Families Act (2014). The findings were overall positive and helped with person-centred planning processes. The discussion is framed within current and future policy directives. We argue that multimedia advocacy approaches and software tools, like the “RIX Wiki” will have a continued role to play in ensuring the needs, aspirations and choices of children and young people with learning disabilities remain central.

校园足球改革背景下高校足球文化的内涵与构建

在我国校园足球改革背景下,高校对足球教学的重视程度越来越高。但是值得注意的是,现阶段我国部分高校对足球文化的内涵的了解仍旧停留在较为肤浅的层面,并没有充分认识到足球文化构建的重要作用,足球文化构建过程中还存在着较多的不足,足球文化构建效果并不理想,不利于高校足球教学工作的开展。本文从校园足球文化的概述入手,对校园足球改革背景下高校足球文化的内涵进行了深入的分析,并提出了几点校园足球改革背景下高校足球文化构建策略,以期能够为高校提供些许参考。     

The effect of number of siblings and birth order on educational attainment: Empirical Evidence from Chinese General Social Survey

Data from China demonstrate that the effect of the number of siblings on education is restricted by many factors, such as children’s gender, urban or rural household registration, whether there is only one child, the birth order of children within the family, and parents’ status. Chinese families have significant preferences for the eldest son and the youngest son. Moreover, research based on the natural experiment and instrumental variable approach suggests that market-oriented reform of education has increased the cost of family education expenditures since China’s reform and opening up, which further aggravates the negative impact on education of having many siblings in an urban setting.

从当前中小学体育教学现状看高校体育教育专业的教学改革

在新的历史时期，研究中小学校体育教学现状对于高等体育教育专业的教学改革十分必要。本主要采用问卷调查和献分析等方法对我国16个省、直辖市、自治区的241所中小学校进行问卷调查和分析，发现：当前中小学校体育教师的教学工作负担过重，科研的整体水平偏低，法律意识淡薄等不利因素；同时提出：在现阶段的高等体育教学中，应当加强对学生科研能力的培养，技术教学要突出“多能一专”的教学思想，并建议有关部门关注体育教师的“减负”问题。     

普通高校体育课编班教学改革实验研究

体育课教学是高等学校体育工作的核心。教学质量的好坏直接影响学生的体质。但是 ,现行的班级体育授课制仍然是沿袭以智力、高考分数为核心 ,方便文化课教学的编班制进行体育课教学 ,这无疑影响学生体质的发展和终身体育思想的形成 ,而且给体育课教学带来许多困难。因此 ,从发展学生体质和培养终身锻炼习惯的实际需要出发 ,打破单纯按智力、分数的分班制是当前高校体育教学工作中亟待解决的问题。
