A Different Kind of Holding Environment: A Case Study of Group Work with Pediatric Staff

ABSTRACT

This paper reports a nearly two-year intervention with staff at a major urban pediatric facility. The authors worked as trainers and consultants for two groups–the Emergency Department (ED) and Chronic Care units (CC). Following two days of training about grief and loss, highlighting skill building for work with traumatized and grieving children and parents, the consultants worked to develop teams which could provide a Winnicottian holding environment for staff. The efficacy of this staff training is analyzed and support needs of staff members are identified. Findings include varied willingness to make use of group support. Chronic care participants are more likely to express willingness to engage in on-going support for one another, while ED staff members seem to prefer structured, educational training and episodic support. The holding environment of the processing groups must be adapted to fit the needs of the medical sub-culture.     

高等学校教学质量监控问题与对策研究

教学质量监控是确保学校教学质量的一种管理工作过程。当前高等学校教学质量监控中存在监控主体不明、实践教学重视程度不够、教学质量评价标准刻板、单一、教学信息反馈不畅等问题,针对这些问题积极寻求有效的对策是提高教学质量监控的重要途径。     

习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的教育实践

为培养中国特色社会主义事业合格建设者和可靠接班人,以思政课的教育实践为例,对习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想进行研究。研究认为,习近平总书记从民族复兴、党和国家事业发展以及建设中国特色社会主义教育强国的全局出发,高度重视教师队伍建设和教育工作;作为用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人的中坚力量,思政课教师要在学生心里埋下真善美的种子,始终做学生立德铸魂的引路人;思政课教师要坚持不懈地传播马克思主义科学理论,用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想武装师生头脑,引领学生坚定理想信念,补足“精神之钙”,始终做政治清醒的明白人;要引领学生弘扬中国精神,锚定成长成才的“压舱石”,特别要在指导学生贯通学好“四史”,涵育家国情怀和培养创新实践能力方面下功夫;要引领学生培育和践行社会主义核心价值观,在学思悟践中掌握马克思主义科学思辩的方法论精髓和实践要义,切实解决好世界观、人生观、价值观这个“总开关”问题,帮助学生“扣好人生第一粒扣子”。     

任务型语言教学在实施过程中面临的困境和误区

近年来随着《英语课程标准》的实施,任务型语言教学被广泛接受.但是任何一种教学途径都不是完美无缺的.任务型教学作为一种教学途径在理论研究和实践层面上都存在一些不足,尤其是在我国这样一个把英语作为外语的环境下,实施任务型教学困难和误区就更为突出.因此,很有必要对任务型教学的本土化进行研究和探讨,以适应中国的教学实际.

大学英语教学与学生社会文化意识的培养

海姆斯的交际能力理论认为社会文化意识和修养是交际能力的重要组成部分,大学生社会文化意识的培养与其跨文化交际能力的形成有着紧密的联系。培养大学生的跨文化交际能力是大学英语教学的目标之一,大学英语教学应针对目前大学生社会文化意识相对薄弱的特点,采取相应的教学措施,培养和增强大学生的社会文化意识,促进其跨文化交际能力的形成和提高。     

Will the ASA's Efforts to Improve Statistical Practice be Successful? Some Evidence to the Contrary

ABSTRACT

Recent efforts by the American Statistical Association to improve statistical practice, especially in countering the misuse and abuse of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and p-values, are to be welcomed. But will they be successful? The present study offers compelling evidence that this will be an extraordinarily difficult task. Dramatic citation-count data on 25 articles and books severely critical of NHST's negative impact on good science, underlining that this issue was/is well known, did nothing to stem its usage over the period 1960–2007. On the contrary, employment of NHST increased during this time. To be successful in this endeavor, as well as restoring the relevance of the statistics profession to the scientific community in the 21st century, the ASA must be prepared to dispense detailed advice. This includes specifying those situations, if they can be identified, in which the p-value plays a clearly valuable role in data analysis and interpretation. The ASA might also consider a statement that recommends abandoning the use of p-values.
