Should I stay or should I go? Predictors and effects of studying abroad during high school

In an increasingly globalized and culturally diverse world, extended stays abroad during high school are considered important opportunities for acquiring and improving a variety of skills, most importantly, language achievement. This study examines both predictors and effects of studying abroad in an English-speaking country during high school, using population data from the second largest city in Germany (N = 5361; 13% went abroad). In order to determine the most central predictors of studying abroad, we employed logistic regression models in which students’ socioeconomic background emerged as the strongest predictor of studying abroad. To test the effects of studying abroad, we applied propensity score matching. Studying abroad had positive effects on standardized achievement, grades, and course choice in English, whereas it had hardly any effects on outcomes in math. Implications for studying abroad during high school and future research directions are discussed.

Does the Model of Language in the National Literacy Strategy Create Failure for Pupils from Differing Language Backgrounds?

The National Literacy Strategy (NLS) was introduced by the government in the wake of the hotly debated issue of falling educational standards in the UK. All schools were required to adopt the NLS Literacy Hour unless they could show their preferred programme would result in raised levels of achievement. My experience of delivering the Literacy Hour has been a process of adaptation to the needs of my pupils, who are drawn mainly from groups whose language backgrounds differ from that which is dominant in school. I have found that the requirements of NLS, together with many of the commercial resources used to teach it, are not appropriate for pupils from these groups and a question arose: is it the pupils who are in some way deficient or is it the approach and the resources being used? This article takes a case study of the use of a commercially produced resource to explore the model of language implicit in NLS, the kinds of resources it generates and the ways in which this creates failure in pupils from different language backgrounds. It then considers the New Literacy Studies and their implications for an alteration in our approach.

放松音乐及音乐电针对有氧运动疲劳的恢复效果

用聆听放松音乐或足三里音乐电针法对49名男大学生的有氧运动疲劳治疗15 min,通过心率、下肢肌力、血糖、尿蛋白、视觉简单反应时、主观体力感觉(RPE)等生理、生化及心理指标评估和比较疗效.结果:两种疗法均使心率及RPE显著下降;放松音乐还可显著降低尿蛋白,并有缩短视觉简单反应时的趋势;音乐电针使RPE下降的幅度超过听放松音乐,但下肢肌力及血糖显著均低于治疗前,视觉简单反应时有延长趋势,并显著长于安静状态.表明:放松音乐能促进心血管及心理疲劳恢复,增强肾脏调节能力,改善中枢及骨骼肌疲劳状态;音乐电针对心理疲劳的恢复效果优于放松音乐,对心血管疲劳的作用与放松音乐相近,而对骨骼肌疲劳、中枢疲劳及机能状态下降等的作用不及放松音乐.     

音乐对有氧耐力素质影响的研究

有氧耐力是指运动员在供氧充足的情况下克服疲劳的能力，其训练目的在于增强有机体氧气运输系统的机能。将音乐引入有氧耐力训练，用呼吸频率变化等生理指标，对实验组和对照组在其提高幅度上进行实验分析，证明音乐有助于有氧耐力的提高。
