Individual and cultural factors in teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion: A meta-analysis

The success of inclusive education is dependent upon classroom teachers implementing adaptations for children with disabilities. Given that willingness to make such adaptations is influenced by teacher attitudes, the current study examined teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education through a meta-analysis of 64 samples that were found via a systematic literature search. The results indicated that teachers hold a positive attitude towards inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream schools and that these attitudes are moderated by an interplay of cultural and demographical factors. The findings offer a renewed basis for intervention research into improving educational opportunities for children around the world.     

The influence of maltreatment history and out-of-home-care on children’s language and social skills

This study examined the extent to which maltreatment history and the characteristics of out-of-home care correlated with the language and social skills of maltreated children. Participants in this study were 82 maltreated children aged between 5 and 12 years of age. All children were residing with state-designated carers in out-of-home-care. The children were presented with standardised tests assessing language and social skills. Results showed that the sample performed significantly below the normative mean on both tests. Correlation analyses showed social skills, but not language skills were correlated with aspects of maltreatment history. The education level of the state-designated carer/s was correlated with the children's language skills; higher education level was associated with higher language skills. The study provides evidence that at the group level, language and social skills are poor in maltreated children. However, gains in language skills might be made via the out-of-home-care environment. Improvements in the social skills of maltreated children may require additional support.

体育教育专业学生英语学习方式调查研究

报告了对沈阳体育学院体育教育专业学生外语学习方式倾向的调查研究,并以问卷为研究工具。运用定量研究方法,分析了个体差异如性别、外语水平等对学生学习方式倾向的影响。结果显示学生喜欢多种外语学习方式,外语成绩优、差学生6种学习方式均无显著差异,男生比女生更喜欢听觉学习,女生比男生更喜欢视觉学习。据此提出外语教师应根据学生的认知特点灵活运用各种教学方式,并指导学生调整和扩展多种学习风格以促进教与学的协调发展。     

试析外语学习中的个人因素

在外语学习的过程中,学习者的年龄、智力因素、非智力因素这些个人因素对学习效果极有影响,教师只有了解了这些因素的作用,才能运用科学的方法来传授知识,才能更好地调动学生学习外语的主观能动性。     

Personal reactions to ‘strange’ situations: Attachment styles and acculturation attitudes of immigrants and majority members

A growing number of studies examine the influence of individual factors on acculturation attitudes of immigrants, but few studies focus on majority members’ attitudes. In this paper, two studies are reported on the relation between attachment styles and acculturation attitudes of both immigrants (N=177) and majority members (N=243) in the Netherlands. Until now very few studies have associated cultural adjustment with attachment styles. This is remarkable, because attachment theory refers to interaction with others in new situations. Four different styles of attachment (the secure, dismissing, preoccupied and fearful attachment styles) are related to Berry's classification of acculturation attitudes. People, both immigrants and majority members, with a secure attachment style were positive towards integration, whereas people with a dismissing attachment style were not. Dismissing immigrants were more positive towards separation. Whereas both immigrants and majority members with a secure attachment style showed a similar pattern of correlations between attachment and acculturation, they seem to react quite differently, and even in opposite ways, when they have a preoccupied attachment style. Yet, the different reactions may be caused by the same psychological process: The existential ambivalence of preoccupied people may lead to diverse reactions.     

数量结构的自动识别方案

数量结构是现代汉语中的一个重要组成部分。对于中文信息处理而言,实现其自动识别将对查找中文文本中的重要命名实体有很大的帮助。但从目前的自动识别程序的开放测试结果来看,乃存在错标、漏标等现象。因此,我们在今后的程序的算法设计中还需要进一步的改善。     

我看语感训练

语文是一门综合的实践课，学好语文，用好语文知识，对一个人终身受用。而学好语文的精微妙处就是对语言文字的理解、感受能力即语感。作为一名语文教师，应致力于从口头表达和文字书写两方面去训练学生的“语感”。口语训练要做到“言为心声，心口合一”；书面训练要做到“文以载道，妙笔生辉”。     

近几年来国外信息检索模型研究进展

信息检索模型是信息检索的核心.近几年来国外对于布尔模型的研究主要表现在对布尔模型的改进及对扩展布尔模型的进一步优化.对向量空间模型的研究,主要集中在对向量空间模型的扩展研究及对向量空间模型的应用方面.概率模型的发展主要集中在继续对概率模型进一步的研究,其与其它信息检索模型的结合,以及语言模型的研究和发展.近年来对于新兴的基于本体的信息检索模型的研究,主要集中在对基于本体的信息检索模型理论的研究,与其它检索模型的融合,以及基于本体检索模型的应用.国外信息检索模型研究的最新成果,为国内此方面的研究提供了前沿性的参考信息.
