六门临床课程形成性评价实践研究

文章抽样南京医科大学六门临床课程成绩,通过SPSS统计软件分析形成性评价、终结性评价、综合性评价成绩的相关性和差异性。结果显示终结性评价具有较高评价效力,无论在综合性评价中占分比例大小,都与综合性评价呈显著正相关;形成性评价需要占有较大分值比例,才与综合性评价显著相关。结果提示,课程学习成绩评价需要调整和明确目标要求,不同的评价方法适用于不同的评价目标要求;不少课程现行的形成性评价方法需要进一步改进。     

我国社会工作实习教育整体性合作模式探讨

社会工作实习教育目标影响社会工作实习教学内容、教学方式的选择。我国现阶段社会工作实习教学目标定位模糊,社会工作实习课程的专业知识标准缺失,社会工作专业实习在课程教学内容、方法的选择方面,呈现多元价值观冲突、教学成效不显著、社会工作实习教育目标被异化的现象。本文从社会工作实习教学目标体系的多元化整合角度,提出构建社会工作实习教育的整体性合作模式。     

法律诊所教学模式在我国的应用与研究

在我国的现行法学教育体系中,从国家教育部的学科规范要求到各法学院校的教学计划,都很强调法学教学中实践环节的重要性,但由于缺乏有关这方面的具有实际操作性的理论研究和具体的实践模式设计,致使理论与实践联系还有一些不足。分析了法律诊所式教学模式在我国应用与研究的意义和现状,并提出了应用的具体设想。

Sex after divorce: older adult women’s reflections

People who divorce experience a number of negative impacts, and yet divorce also offers opportunities for growth and transformation. This qualitative study of older adult women offers the possibility that divorce may be sexually empowering, especially for women, based on in-depth interviewing of women who had gone through one or more divorces. Detailed examples of the experiences of fourteen women with divorce and sexual expression are offered, focusing on in which situations divorce might be empowering and how it could contribute to sexual exploration and satisfaction. Overall, for the fourteen women in the study who had experienced divorce, the quality of sex in the marriage impacted the quality of sexual expression after the divorce. Also, these findings supported the idea of transformational learning through divorce, and expand divorce-stress-adjustment and transformational learning perspectives to apply more specifically to sexual expression. Understanding possible impacts of divorce over the lifespan, including strengths-based aspects, is important for social workers as the population they serve ages.     

The Effect of Chair Yoga on Biopsychosocial Changes in English- and Spanish-Speaking Community-Dwelling Older Adults with Lower-Extremity Osteoarthritis

Chair yoga (CY), a mind-body therapy, is a safe nonpharmacological approach for managing osteoarthritis (OA) in older adults who cannot participate in standing exercise. However, there is no linguistically tailored CY program for those with limited English proficiency (LEP). This 2-arm randomized controlled trial compared the effects of a linguistically tailored yoga program (English and Spanish versions) on the outcomes of pain, physical function, and psychosocial factors compared to the effects of a linguistically tailored Health Education Program (HEP; English and Spanish versions). Participants with lower-extremity OA, recruited from 2 community sites, completed the Spanish (n = 40) or English (n = 60) version of twice-weekly 45-min CY or HEP sessions for 8 weeks. Data were collected at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 1- and 3-month follow-ups. English and Spanish CY groups (but neither HEP language group) showed significant decreases in pain interference. Measures of OA symptoms, balance, depression, and social activities were not significantly different between English and Spanish versions of CY and English and Spanish versions of HEP. It was concluded that the Spanish and English versions of CY and HEP were equivalent. Linguistically tailored CY could be implemented in aging-serving communities for persons with LEP.     

Prediction of accrual closure date in multi-center clinical trials with discrete-time Poisson process models

In a phase III multi‐center cancer clinical trial or a large public health study, sample size is predetermined to achieve desired power, and study participants are enrolled from tens or hundreds of participating institutions. As the accrual is closing to the target size, the coordinating data center needs to project the accrual closure date on the basis of the observed accrual pattern and notify the participating sites several weeks in advance. In the past, projections were simply based on some crude assessment, and conservative measures were incorporated in order to achieve the target accrual size. This approach often resulted in excessive accrual size and subsequently unnecessary financial burden on the study sponsors. Here we proposed a discrete‐time Poisson process‐based method to estimate the accrual rate at time of projection and subsequently the trial closure date. To ensure that target size would be reached with high confidence, we also proposed a conservative method for the closure date projection. The proposed method was illustrated through the analysis of the accrual data of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project trial B‐38. The results showed that application of the proposed method could help to save considerable amount of expenditure in patient management without compromising the accrual goal in multi‐center clinical trials.
