拟人绘本和真人绘本对幼儿人格教育效果的影响： 一项挑战传统观念的国外心理学实验的启示

绘本阅读是幼儿成长过程中的一种有效教育途径。绘本中的角色类型会影响绘本对幼儿的教育效果。笔者基于国外一项心理学实验,并结合其他相关实验,介绍拟人绘本和真人绘本对幼儿人格和知识学习影响的研究,从幼儿心理学角度分析了真人绘本在教育效果上优于拟人绘本的心理机制。最后,阐述了关于拟人绘本和真人绘本的几点思考。     

父母教养对学前幼儿自我控制能力发展的影响及教养策略探讨

自我控制能力对个人的健康、学业、婚姻等毕生发展的多个方面均有重要影响。学前阶段是个体自我控制能力发展的关键期,家庭环境中父母的教养对幼儿自控能力发展的影响至关重要。综合以往相关实证研究,父母主要通过情感互动、行为控制和自主支持这三个方面的教养方式影响幼儿的自我控制能力发展,其中情感支持与回应,设置明确的行为界限,以及提供自主支持等具体教养方式有助于幼儿自我控制能力的发展。在此基础上,本文进一步探讨了培养幼儿自我控制能力的父母教养策略。     

传统幼儿游戏在农村幼儿数学教育活动中的应用与价值

游戏是幼儿的天性,是幼儿成长发展的需要。幼儿园教育要以游戏为基本活动,寓教育于幼儿的生活、游戏活动中。农村有得天独厚的自然条件,有丰厚的传统幼儿游戏资源,将这些传统游戏应用于幼儿数学教育活动,达成幼儿数学认知目标,是将幼儿数学教育寓幼儿游戏活动路径的有益探索,在农村幼儿园现有条件下有重要的实践意义和理论价值。

Examples of practice: an intercultural approach to translate Romanian children’s folklore into Spanish

Due to the great number of Romanian pupils in Spanish public school, the local administration organises extra-curricular Romanian courses in order to preserve the Romanian language and culture. This is a way to contribute to build and consolidate a bicultural and bilingual profile of the young people. Besides, it is also an opportunity to align with plurilingual and pluricultural competence established by The Common European Framework of References for Languages (2002). Based on the premise that “children's literature is an intercultural instrument”, I choose as corpus the Romanian children's folklore represented by games, formula-songs, recital-stories, household words, incantations, riddles and lullabies to translate into Spanish. After the translations, Romanian children had to find similarities and differences between the Romanian and Spanish children's songs, in order to augment the knowledge about both cultures.     

幼小衔接中儿童适应性问题探析

儿童结束幼儿园生活到小学生活的过渡阶段中普遍存在着学习环境、人际关系、行为要求、活动方式等方面的适应不良问题，往往造成儿童学习积极性差、注意力不集中、焦虑紧张等情况。对此从幼儿园、小学、家庭三方面提出了相应的建议与对策，希望帮助儿童顺利地适应小学生活，完成角色的转变。     

休谟与启蒙运动——基于《人性论》引言的思想史考察

当前对休谟的研究常把他和启蒙运动相隔裂.通过对休谟代表性著作《人性论》引言的分析,可以发现他和法国启蒙思想家共享认识世界的“力学模式”和实验方法,都试图将当时在英格兰兴起的“自然哲学”应用于人类境况,都致力于用对人类生活有用的经验研究所产生的新理论代替传统形而上学.同时,休谟对经验主义方法自身的局限有着更为健全的认识,主张在经验和可观察现象范围内的实验方法.这一认识在我们反思启蒙时极富价值.     

A likelihood ratio test to discriminate exponential–Poisson and gamma distributions

The exponential–Poisson (EP) distribution with scale and shape parameters β>0 and λ∈?, respectively, is a lifetime distribution obtained by mixing exponential and zero-truncated Poisson models. The EP distribution has been a good alternative to the gamma distribution for modelling lifetime, reliability and time intervals of successive natural disasters. Both EP and gamma distributions have some similarities and properties in common, for example, their densities may be strictly decreasing or unimodal, and their hazard rate functions may be decreasing, increasing or constant depending on their shape parameters. On the other hand, the EP distribution has several interesting applications based on stochastic representations involving maximum and minimum of iid exponential variables (with random sample size) which make it of distinguishable scientific importance from the gamma distribution. Given the similarities and different scientific relevance between these models, one question of interest is how to discriminate them. With this in mind, we propose a likelihood ratio test based on Cox's statistic to discriminate the EP and gamma distributions. The asymptotic distribution of the normalized logarithm of the ratio of the maximized likelihoods under two null hypotheses – data come from EP or gamma distributions – is provided. With this, we obtain the probabilities of correct selection. Hence, we propose to choose the model that maximizes the probability of correct selection (PCS). We also determinate the minimum sample size required to discriminate the EP and gamma distributions when the PCS and a given tolerance level based on some distance are before stated. A simulation study to evaluate the accuracy of the asymptotic probabilities of correct selection is also presented. The paper is motivated by two applications to real data sets.     

Inference for quantile measures of kurtosis,peakedness, and tail weight

Insight into measures of peakedness, heavy-tailedness, and kurtosis can be gained by studying Ruppert’s ratios of interquantile ranges. They are not only monotone in Horn’s measure of peakedness when applied to the central portion of the population, but also monotone in the practical tail-index of Morgenthaler and Tukey, when applied to the tails. Non-parametric confidence intervals are found for Ruppert’s ratios, and sample sizes required to obtain such intervals for a pre-specified relative width and level are provided. In addition, the empirical power of distribution-free tests for peakedness and bimodality are found for some symmetric distributions.
