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.     

Digital Module 05: Diagnostic Measurement—The G‐DINA Framework https://ncme.elevate.commpartners.com

In this ITEMS module, we introduce the generalized deterministic inputs, noisy “and” gate (G‐DINA) model, which is a general framework for specifying, estimating, and evaluating a wide variety of cognitive diagnosis models. The module contains a nontechnical introduction to diagnostic measurement, an introductory overview of the G‐DINA model, as well as common special cases, and a review of model‐data fit evaluation practices within this framework. We use the flexible GDINA R package, which is available for free within the R environment and provides a user‐friendly graphical interface in addition to the code‐driven layer. The digital module also contains videos of worked examples, solutions to data activity questions, curated resources, a glossary, and quizzes with diagnostic feedback.

非文学记叙文体的阅读

非学记叙体在承载人类明的诸种字媒介中，自有其独到而重要的地位和影响，故阅读这一类体也并非一望而知，无需方法的。要正确地理解和阅读非学记叙，必须建构正确的“阅读模式”。正确的“阅读模式”的建立，应在了解记叙体总体特征的同时，着力把握非学记叙在内容、形式上的特殊性，即：朴素的记叙性，严格的纪实性和较强的实用性，并针对这种特殊性，采取“理智性”、“汲取性”的阅读方式——以汲取章思想内容为要旨，达到求知益智的目的。     

电机转子参数振动的稳定性分析

在工程中 ,两极电机转子等具有矩形截面的轴 ,由于不同方向上的弯曲刚度不同而引起振动 ,即使激振频率远离系统自然频率 ,也可能产生较大响应而造成破坏 ,这就是参数激励共振。所以 ,研究参数激励系统的稳定性及其稳定区域 (范围 )是很重要的。本文以非对称刚度转子和实际电机转子截面轴转动时的弯曲振动为例 ,用Floquet理论研究其振动稳定范围

Expanding opportunities to learn to support inclusive education through drama‐enhanced literacy practices

This study examines how the Early Years Educators at Play (EYEPlay) professional development (PD) programme supported inclusive learning settings for all children, including English language learners and students with disabilities. The EYEPlay PD model is a year‐long programme that integrates drama strategies into literacy practices within real‐classroom contexts. Inclusive education refers to ensuring equal opportunities to access and participation in learning activities for all students. Cultural‐historical activity theory was used to understand and unpack the drama practices. Twelve semi‐structured focus group interviews were conducted with 19 preschool teachers. The data were analysed via constant‐comparative and interpretive methods. The study findings showed that EYEPlay PD practices enhanced inclusive learning settings for diverse groups of students by increasing access and expanding opportunities to learn, and supporting a positive learning environment.
