ESP专业性读写能力研究

专门用途英语（ESP）是掌握语言应用能力的成功之途,它正逐渐成为高校大学英语教学研究的中心工作。ESP不仅教授专业语言特征,更关注学习者特有的专业需求,因此有着明确的语言教学方法。然而,这一传统优势正受到越来越多的各种ESP专业性概念的威胁,这些概念更趋向于一般认识上的读写能力。ESP专业性应包括能适应教学目的,掌握特定学科与职业群体读写能力的教学。     

The Northeast-Northwest Collaborative Adoption Project

SUMMARY

One of the exciting new directions in family research is the examination of shared and nonshared environmental processes underlying the learning of cognitive, literacy, and social-behavioral skills. The adoption design is a powerful method for testing theories regarding environmental mechanisms. In this paper, we describe the Northeast-Northwest Collaborative Adoption Project (N2CAP), an ongoing adoption study in which we are examining the role of parenting environments generally, and parent-child relationships more specifically, in the development of cognitive, reading and social-emotional outcomes in childhood. The goal of this study is to identify environmental influences that impact children's cognitive and social-emotional development using a genetically sensitive design, and to further the development of models of genotype-environment processes.     

Longitudinal predictors of reading achievement among at-risk children

Early exposure to multiple risk factors is related to an elevated risk for academic difficulty. Thus, it is important to promote academic resilience as early as possible and to identify factors that support resilience. Given the positive relation between early literacy skills and later academic outcomes, examining resilience in reading is important. This study examined, first, whether the reading gap widens or narrows for below-average and above-average, at-risk children during the first four years of school; and, second, what protective factors predict reading achievement over time from kindergarten through the end of third grade. Results indicated that as a group, low-achieving children made smaller gains in reading than high-achieving children over the first four years of school. In addition, participation in center-based prekindergarten care, plus more access to books in the home, better interpersonal skills, and fewer poor physical conditions immediately surrounding elementary schools served as protective factors for at-risk children's early literacy development.     

中国公民科学素质建设的文化语境研究

科学在中国扎根的时间短,根基不够深;科学文化在我国文化系统中的主体地位不牢固,有一种历史缺失.这是我国开展公民科学素质建设的文化语境,也是我们理解和解决公民科学素质低下这一问题的现实国情.     

Social Studies Teachers’ Organization

Recent innovations in Web-based technology tools have made planning instruction with technology in mind far more doable than in years past. To aid teachers in planning with technology, tools are organized into five broad categories: communication, collaboration, presentation, organization and critical-thinking. The purpose and potential of each group of tools is explored and utilized in the development of a technology-rich unit plan on medieval China.     

后工业时代中的媒介与时间

时间是人乃至人类最内在的存在结构与生成依据.在未竞的现代性的进程中,媒介不断影响和塑造着人的时间意识与观念.媒介化时间的涌现与时间化媒介的膨胀,构成了后工业时代媒介与时间的复杂关系.媒介化时间带给人们以便利,也带来了新的遮蔽与异化.对这一挑战的应答方式之一是进行有效的媒介素养与认知教育.     

物理学史与大学物理素质教育

物理学史在大学物理素质教育中不但可以培养学生的科学素质和创造素质，还能培养学生的非智力因素。物理教师授课时结合相关素材，选择适当的教学手段和方法，将使物理学史在大学物理素质教育中起到积极作用。     

媒介素养教育之我见——从“媒介素养要从青少年抓起”谈起

"媒介素养要从青少年抓起"掩盖了我国大多数成人没有媒介意识、还不会利用媒介的现实,也偏离了媒介素养教育发展的趋势,它潜含着的是一种成人文化的强权,也掩饰了成人在现代社会中已经落后于媒介社会的发展的窘境。媒介素养教育应当在成人媒介素养培养和青少年的媒介素养培养方面予以并重。     

Postdivorce Father‐Adolescent Closeness

Research indicates that closeness of the father‐child bond following parental divorce is associated with better outcomes for children and adolescents. Unlike other investigations, this study takes a long‐term developmental approach to understanding stability and change in postdivorce father‐adolescent relationship closeness. Drawing on Add Health data (n = 483), we examine factors that explain (a) why some high‐quality father‐adolescent relationships remain the same after divorce whereas others decline, and (b) why some low‐quality relationships are stable following divorce whereas others improve. High mother‐offspring relationship quality and offspring feelings of well‐being prevented close father‐offspring relationships from deteriorating. Offspring’s childbearing and cohabitation following parental divorce increase closeness in father‐offspring relationships that were not close prior to divorce. Although a majority of offspring experienced a decline in closeness following divorce, results from this study show that some very close father‐offspring relationships are maintained and some poor relationships become closer.     

The Changing Institution of Marriage: Adolescents’ Expectations to Cohabit and to Marry

Cohabitation has become part of the pathway toward marriage. Prior work focuses on expectations to marry and has ignored cohabitation. Although most young adults are not replacing marriage with cohabitation, but instead cohabit and then marry, it is important to study adolescents’ joint expectations to cohabit as well as marry. Our analyses draw on recently collected data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (N = 1,293). We find that adolescents are less certain about their cohabitation than marriage expectations. Dating and sexual experience, traditional values, prosocial activities, and parents influence adolescents’ union formation expectations. The findings from this work suggest that adolescents are including cohabitation as part of their future life trajectories but rarely envision cohabitation as substituting for marriage.
