Does modality matter? A latent profile and transition analysis of sedentary behaviours among school-aged youth: The UP&DOWN study

ABSTRACT

The aims of this study were to identify profiles of sedentary behaviour (SB) patterns, based on leisure-time self-reported SB modalities (screen, educative, social, and relaxing) and to evaluate changes in these profiles over 2 years among Spanish youth aged 8–18 years. Latent profile analysis (LPA), a data-driven analytic approach, was used to identify groups of boys and girls (n = 1553; 48% girls; mean±SD age: 12.56 ± 2.49 y) with distinct SB profiles using the SB modalities (time/d) as input variables. Latent transition analysis, an extension of LPA that uses longitudinal data, was used to analyse 2-year changes in these profiles. At baseline, four and three SB profiles were found among boys (labelled: screen, educative, social, and relaxing) and girls (labelled: screen/social, educative, and relaxing), respectively. Overall, more girls (range: 48%-67%) had the same profile over time, than boys (40%-52%). Participants with a screen or relaxing SB profile at baseline were more likely to have an educative profile after 2 years. Youth with a social and an educative SB profile at baseline were more likely to transition to profiles characterized by higher screen and social SB, respectively. Using a novel and person-centered approach, this study identified gender-specific SB profiles that were moderately stable over time.     

Professional knowledge or motivation? Investigating the role of teachers’ expertise on the quality of technology-enhanced lesson plans

In an expertise study with 94 mathematics teachers varying in their relative teacher expertise (i.e., student teachers, trainee teachers, in-service teachers), we examined effects of teachers' professional knowledge and motivational beliefs on their ability to integrate technology within a lesson plan scenario. Therefore, we assessed teachers' professional knowledge (i.e., content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, technological knowledge), and their motivational beliefs (i.e., self-efficacy, utility-value). Furthermore, teachers were asked to develop a lesson plan for introducing the Pythagorean theorem to secondary students. Lesson plans by advanced teachers (i.e., trainee teachers, in-service teachers) comprised higher levels of instructional quality and technology exploitation than the ones of novice teachers (i.e., pre-service teachers). The effect of expertise was mediated by teachers' perceived utility-value of educational technology, but not by their professional knowledge. These findings suggest that teachers’ motivational beliefs play a crucial role for effectively applying technology in mathematics instruction.     

大学英语教学应重视交互式教学模式

交互式教学模式是教学中经常使用的一种方法。这种教学模式有利于调动学生学习语言的积极性、主动性和创造性 ,提高学生的语言表达能力。国外采用自主和交互式教学模式培养学生的一些成功事例 ,为我国外语教学在培养外语人才提供了有益的启示。

异化理论与媒介批判

本文从马克思的“异化理论”与卢卡奇的“物化理论”出发 ,对媒介批判的内容与目的进行了反思 ,提出媒介批判的内容应涉及“媒介产品的异化”、“媒介活动本身的异化”、“媒介组织与媒介从业者的异化”、“媒介组织与其他参照物之间的异化”等诸多层面 ,媒介批判的目的就是从当今社会媒介的异化现象出发 ,找寻媒介“扬弃异化”的方法与途径 ,在批判与超越中使人们逐渐摆脱被自己创造物“奴役”的状况 ,从而实现社会个体与社会整体的自由发展与全面进步。     

时代特征与马克思主义的理论形态

150多年来，马克思主义随着人类历史的发展和时代课题的解决，在实践中形成了新的形态，使马克思主义成为与时俱进的普遍真理，使社会主义在曲折中不断向前发展，成为人类社会发展不可逆转的总趋势。     

教师专业化背景下反思型体育教师培养模式

教师的专业化发展要求教师成为反思型教师,而反思型教师的成熟和发展离不开教育实践的锻炼和促进,只有将实践中反映出来的问题上升到理论层面加以反思,才能探寻到根源,使主体的合理性水平得到提升和拓宽.体育教师要坚持积极的自我反思与实践,以主体身份投入其中,扩大自己的专业视野,逐步养成教育反思的习惯,建立自我反思机制,成为反思型教师,同时促进教师专业化发展.     

The impact of digital technology on archival science

Archival science is to be regarded as a system. The properties of that system can be investigated and integrated. The methodology to do so has been tested in two research projects which are presented in this article as examples of the way in which the view of archival science as a system supports the development of new knowledge and as a demonstration of the stability of archival theory. This article presupposes that the archival discipline is also a “science”. Many have argued against the idea on the basis of a common perception that a science is a type of study entirely objective by virtue of the rigorous manner in which it is carried out and the restricted range of topics to which it applies. In fact, the activity of science is based upon a complex framework of assumptions that make it possible for the landscape of the scientific endeavour to be redrawn over time, and, while striving towards objectivity, considers it to be an unattainable ideal.     

关于三段论一般规则存在依据的思考

三段论理论是人类有史以来第一个真正的理论体系.选择有效式是构造三段论理论重要的一环.三段论一般规则是一种最简单实用的选择方法,但却存在理由不足的缺陷.包含关系的概念内涵之间所具有的蕴涵关系,能够单一地引申或者说充分地论证三段论全部一般规则,甚至能直接识别出三段论每一个具体的有效式,从而为采用一般规则做有效式选择标准的三段论理论提供了可靠的理论依据.
