学校运动会项目设置的利与弊

目前多数学校运动会是以田径项目为主,而且注重竞技性忽略了大众性,已显得陈旧,枯燥,单一.学生积极性、参与性不高,已不适应高等学校体育发展的要求.因此在运动会内容的设置上,应让一些具有趣味性、娱乐性、健身性、集体性、社会性等学生喜闻乐见的项目进入校运动会.铜陵学院体育部对2002年校运动会的内容及组织形式进行改革性的尝试,并取得了良好的效果.

Self-categorization process in sport: An examination of the “Linsanity” phenomenon in Taiwan

The “Linsanity” phenomenon attracted an increase in attention toward the National Basketball Association (NBA) for a short period of time. Drawing on self-categorization theory to elucidate current literature on team identification, this research proposed a conceptual model delineating the social psychological process for international consumers during the phenomenon. Using an online survey with a convenience sample in Taiwan, structural equation modeling, including confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and path analysis, validated the conceptual model and confirmed the relationships between constructs in the model. Results indicated that Taiwanese identification positively influenced player identification, while player identification mediated the relationship between Taiwanese identification and team identification. Consequently, team identification positively influenced NBA involvement. The research findings together contribute to explicating the mechanism behind consumers’ self-categorization process during the “Linsanity” phenomenon while offering implications for international sport marketing. The research concludes with suggestions for future research.     

Academic socialization,parental educational expectations,and academic self‐efficacy among Latino adolescents

This study examined the direct association between parental educational expectations and adolescents’ academic self‐efficacy, as well as the moderating influence of parental academic socialization messages. Participants were 148 Latino parent–adolescent dyads with the majority of Mexican origin (80.4%). Most of the parent participants were mothers (85.8%). Adolescents were 13 (46%) or 14 (54%) years of age, and 53% identified as female. Adolescents reported their academic self‐efficacy and perceptions of their parents’ educational expectations; parents reported on their academic socialization messages of shame/pressure and effort regarding academics. The results suggest that, after accounting for parents’ level of education and immigrant status, parental educational expectations were positively associated with adolescent academic self‐efficacy. This association was stronger among adolescents whose parents reported transmitting fewer messages of shame/pressure and academic effort. These results point to the importance of nuances in the content and type of academic socialization messages within Latino families.     

The Role of Parents and Community in the Education of the Japanese Child

In Japan, there has been an increased concern about family and community participation in the childs education. Traditionally, the role of parents and community in Japan has been one of support and less one of active involvement in school learning. Since the government commenced education reforms in the last quarter of the 20th century, a more active role for parents and the community in education has been encouraged. These reforms have been inspired by the need to tackle various problems that had arisen, such as the perceived harmful elements of societys preoccupation with academic achievement and the problematic behavior of young people. In this paper, the following issues are examined: (1) education policy and reform measures with regard to parent and community involvement in the childs education; (2) the state of parent and community involvement at the eve of the 20th century.     

旗袍：对女性身体的符号学分析

旗袍作为中国现代女性经典服装,不仅仅是披在女性身体之上的外衣,更是披在社会文化之上的外衣。对于男性这个“他者”而言,旗袍更多的是一种性的符号,是他者欲望注视之下对女性肉体的一种新的包裹方式。在父权与女权之间,旗袍提供了一个相互斗争与妥协的场所。女性赢得了自身地位的提升,但却仍然逃脱不掉男性他者的欲望之眼。但从女性自身的角度来看,旗袍的出现是女权文化的一种表征,所展现的是一种“文化身体”,是一种女性独立、自由的符号。在当代,更是女性独特而迷人的性别魅力的符号。     

"父"之缺位与"时代孤儿"的道德困境——东西的《耳光响亮》、《后悔录》与后传统时代的寓言化写作

东西的小说是一种在虚无主义肆虐的后传统、后革命时代下的寓言化写作.<耳光响亮>关注的是1976年文化精神和家庭生活意义上的"父亲"弃世或出走之后,那些"时代孤儿"的成长过程和生存境遇.<后悔录>所关注的重心是主人公从禁欲到纵欲时代的"性"的磨难,从中可以看到后传统的人神主义禁欲文化和后革命的虚无主义纵欲文化对人性的异化和扭曲,以及个人良知在这种异己的、他律的伦理秩序和虚无主义的纵欲狂欢中的复苏和觉醒.
