职前幼儿教师教育信息化态度研究

Preschool teachers’ educational informationization is a vital content of preschool educational informationization, because the attitude of preschool teachers which influence the process of informatization in preschool education plays a key role in the process.So does the pre-service preschool teachers.According to the interviews in the form of questionnaires on the students majoring in preschool education of two schools in Wuhan, Hubei province, this study investigates the status of the attitude towards the educational informationization of pre-service preschool teachers.Using SPSS17.0 software, the study also explores and analyzes the different attitude towards the educational informationization of pre-service preschool teachers under the influences of different variants.Based on the conclusion, countermeasures and suggestions to improve the attitude towards the educational informationization of pre-service preschool teachers are put forward: 1) Reducing the teachers’ education informatization gap between urban and rural pre-school ; 2) Having “tailor-made” information technology courses of major related in preschool education colleges; 3) Guaranteeing to have information-based teaching environment and optimizing information resources construction; 4) Establishing internship practise places with preschool organizations to increase intern opportunities for information technology.     

On a characterization of the dispersion matrix based on the properties of regression

This paper provides a partial solution to a problem posed by J. Neyman (1965) regarding the characterization of multivariate negative binomial distribution based on the properties of regression. It is shown that some of the properties of regression characterize the form of the nonsingular dispersion matrix of the parent distribution, which, interestingly enough, corresponds to only two types viz. those of positive and negative multivariate binomial distributions.     

Hazard functions and life distributions in discrete time

The problem of studying lifelength distributions in discrete time is considered for certain forms of hazard functions. A class of life distributions that consists of the geometric, the Waring and the negative hypergeometric distributions is shown to result when the hazard function is inversely proportional to some linear function of time.     

An Exploratory Study on Attitudes Toward Persons with Disabilities Among U.S. and Japanese Social Work Students

ABSTRACT

This exploratory study was conducted to understand and compare attitudes among social work students in the United States and Japan toward people with disabilities. The Modified Issues in Disabilities Scale (MIDS), designed to measure attitudes toward people with physical disabilities, was implemented on convenient samples of 92 U.S. and 73 Japanese social work students. The findings suggest that social work students in both countries hold moderately positive attitudes. Other similarities as well as differences among the sampled students from the two countries, and their implications to social work education, will be discussed in this paper.     

多媒体崇拜症：成因及对策

多媒体教学过程中出现了一系列的问题,这些问题从总体上可冠之为＂多媒体崇拜症＂。这种症状的产生成因复杂。其中既有特定时代背景下某些社会思潮的影响,如＂技术决定论＂的影响和技术使用上功利主义态度的影响;也有施教者和管理者素质上的不足,尤其是精神上的懒惰;更与当前大学的行政化办学体制有某种内在的关联。要克服这种症状,目前可做的工作重点是端正对多媒体使用的看法,提高多媒体使用的技术水平,并且在教学评价上要注重平衡。     

高职数学“自主探究”教学模式的实验研究

探讨“自主探究”教学模式对高职数学教学具有重要的作用。研究结果表明：（1）学生的自主探究能力与学生学习兴趣、学习态度之间有密切联系。（2）“自主探究”教学模式在培养学生自主探究能力方面是有效的，并且效果显著。（3）“自主探究”教学模式在提高学生的数学成绩方面是有影响的。     

自由的性质

尽管自由的关系和意义错综复杂,但个人自由构成所有其他自由的基础,也是理解它们的前提。在政治哲学里,个人自由始终就具有政治的意义。而在现代政治共同体之中,个人自由本身就是目的,而不是任何其他目的的手段。因此,现代社会的基本结构和制度的宗旨乃是为个人自由提供最大限度的可靠的空间。法治、民主以及共和的原则是支持和保障自由的方式。不过,随着社会的变迁,个人自由在其个人关系和活动空间的方面也会发生变化。积极自由和消极自由并不是两个问题的,而是同一个问题的不同层面;在政治哲学里,该理论是人们认识个人自由的一种方式。     

唐宋之际文人心态与角色之衍变

唐宋之际的时代剧变,使此期文人心态发生了巨大变化,或悲世,或混世,或避世,不一而足。文人所扮演的儒者形象也因此逐渐发生分化,出现了服务于割据政权的幕僚文士、苟安于乱世的混世文人、不受传统束缚的风流才子等具有明显时代特点的新角色。这些变化是此期文学面貌的形成基础,也构成了唐宋文学转型的重要一环。     

中外合作项目学生词汇学习策略调查与研究

以中外合作办学项目100名新生为研究对象,通过问卷及词汇试卷调查学生词汇策略使用状况,分析词汇策略和词汇成绩之间的相关性,以及词汇策略使用差异。结果表明：中外合作项目学生在词汇学习观念上存在偏差,且观念和行动不一致;词汇策略使用总体状况不理想,即使是成绩优秀的学生,也不善综合使用元认知策略和多种认知策略促进词汇学习。在研究结果基础上,对词汇教学提出了建议。     

The role of time perspective in predicting Iranian farmers’ participatory-based water conservation attitude and behavior

ABSTRACT

In current perspective, farmers’ participatory behavior toward conservation of water resources (FPBCWR) is one of the most important strategies under water resource management in rural Iran. In this regard, understanding the predictors of farmers’ participatory-based water conservation behaviors and attitudes is gaining more importance than earlier. Among different dimensions of farmers’ participatory behavior, the potential of temporal frames was examined rarely. Thus, 322 Iranian farmers were investigated to examine the potential of their time perspectives in predicting their participatory-based water conservation behavior and attitude. According to the study results, the effects of present orientation on attitude and behavior were negatively significant, while the effects of future orientation on attitude and behavior were positively significant, whereas its effects (path coefficients) were stronger than present orientation effects. Past orientation did not have a significant effect on attitude, though attitude positively and significantly affected farmers’ participatory behavior. The results of causal analysis revealed that presented model accounted for 58% of variance in farmers’ ‘behavior’ and 42% of variance in “attitude.” In conclusion, a few demonstrable illustrations of policy implications are presented to enable utilizing the important findings and concluding results of this study that is linked further with water resource management domain.
