个人教育投资的风险收益测度

将教育资本分解成受教育程度和职业的各种组合,借鉴Markowiz的有效投资组合理论,计算Mincer收入方程中扰动项的均值—标准差来衡量投资风险收益,以此建立中国教育投资风险和收益之间的平衡关系,并且利用F检验衡量投资组合的均值方差张成。结果表明,有效的教育资本组合不仅与所接受教育程度有关,还与未来职业选择有关。在以受教育程度为高中和中等职业的基础上,高中(06)可以张成其他全部14个投资组合的均值方差边界。因此,个体和政府在进行教育投资时,都需要全面衡量投资组合的风险收益平衡问题。

重塑学生自信心的情感教学法初探

现代教育培养的人才应具有健全的人格、较强的创新精神和实践能力,善于协作和敢于竞争.然而,目前高校中有相当一部分学生因为学习成绩差等原因而丧失自信心,陷入不良情感的心理障碍中不能自拔.基于人本主义学习理论的情感教学法注重教学过程中的师生互动和情感交流,能够有效地促使学生重塑自信心,恢复积极向上的健康心态.情感教学法可从五个环节来实施:(1)简介课程的概况,确立课程的学习目标,对学生进行积极的鼓励;(2)调查学生的情况,将学生进行合理分组;(3)在教学过程中将课程知识传授、能力培养与信心培养相结合;(4)实行阶段考察,鼓励学生进一步学习;(5)课程结束时对"差生"实施积极的补救措施.

我国高校研究生兼任“三助”工作的现状与发展对策

我国高校研究生兼任“助教”、“助管”、“助研”工作于20世纪80年代开展以来,已有了一定的发展,但与近年来我国研究生教育的快速发展相比较仍显滞后。在现阶段,研究生“三助”工作存在岗位偏少、经费不足、报酬偏低以及相关部门和研究生导师推动“三助”工作的意识淡化等一系列的问题。因此需要根据我国研究生教育的具体情况,采取“产学研”发展模式,同时还要借鉴国外研究生的“三助”管理和实施经验,把研究生“三助”工作推向新的高度,使其真正能为学生、为高校、为社会服务。     

90后大学生思想道德建设刍议

90后大学生在思想道德方面呈现出独特性：思想观念新锐、张扬、自主、时尚;自我实现意识强,价值取向功利化;危机感强,心理承受能力有限;有较自觉的社会公德意识,能积极弘扬传统美德。这些特征的形成是受社会变革、互联网、家庭教育模式和学校思想政治教育水平等多种因素的影响。加强90后大学生思想道德建设,应以学生为中心,不断创新高校思想道德教育的方法与内容;要发挥家庭教育和社会教育的作用,形成大学生思想道德教育的合力;要加强校园网络文化建设,主动占领网络思想政治教育新阵地。

Diagnostics of multiple group influential observations for logistic regression models

In this paper, two new multiple influential observation detection methods, GCD.GSPR and mCD*, are introduced for logistic regression. The proposed diagnostic measures are compared with the generalized difference in fits (GDFFITS) and the generalized squared difference in beta (GSDFBETA), which are multiple influential diagnostics. The simulation study is conducted with one, two and five independent variable logistic regression models. The performance of the diagnostic measures is examined for a single contaminated independent variable for each model and in the case where all the independent variables are contaminated with certain contamination rates and intensity. In addition, the performance of the diagnostic measures is compared in terms of the correct identification rate and swamping rate via a frequently referred to data set in the literature.     

Responsibility,planning and risk management: moralizing everyday finance through financial education

The individualization, privatization and marketization of risk management represent a fundamental dimension of the financialization of everyday life. As individuals are required to engage with financial products and services as the main way of protecting themselves from risks and uncertainties, their economic welfare and security are construed as depending largely on their own financial decisions. Within this setting, the concept of financial literacy and accompanying practices of financial education have emerged as a prominent institutional field handling the formulation and communication of the attributes and dispositions that arguably constitute the proper financial actor. This article analyzes financial education programmes currently conducted by state agencies in Israel, examining the notions and principles they articulate when defining and explaining proper financial conduct. The study indicates that moral themes and categories occupy a salient place in the formulation of the character traits that constitute the desired literate financial actor. Notions of individual responsibility, planning ahead and rational risk management are presented not merely as instrumental resources, but as moral imperatives. Through these notions, the programmes moralize a broad array of everyday practices of personal finance such as saving, investing, borrowing and budget management, thereby connecting the sphere of financial matters to the domain of moral virtues. Offering a representation of particular modes of financial conduct as constitutive components of morally virtuous personhood, these practices imbue the financial field as a whole, especially its current generalized logic of individualized and marketized risk management, with moral meanings, hence contributing to the normalization and depoliticization of the financialization of everyday life.     

Education and wage inequality in the informal sector: The case of Cameroon

This article analyses the effects of education on wage inequality in the informal sector in Cameroon. The author uses quantile regression on data from the Second survey on employment and the informal sector in Cameroon (EESI 2) of 2010. The results indicate that both wages and wage inequality increase with education in the informal sector, with tertiary education creating greatest inequality. These findings point to a number of policy recommendations for a transition to formality, such as the creation of more jobs for a skilled workforce, the development of sites adapted to informal sector activities and the creation of more vocational schools.
