Differential predictors of academic achievement: individual and familial factor interactions with community poverty

We present an analysis of the contexts within which adolescents graduate from high school and enroll in college. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health show that adolescents’ school engagement, maternal academic monitoring, and community poverty significantly interact to explain differences in high school graduation and college enrollment rates (n?=?7100). To examine this association, we performed weighted logistic regression analyses, controlling for gender, race, block level unemployment, and block level median income. Findings suggest that protective factors can help youth overcome the challenges associated with community poverty and achieve academically in low and medium levels of poverty, but that youth in high-poverty contexts may need more resources to reach higher levels of academic attainment.     

Sense of School Membership and Associated Academic and Psychological Outcomes in Post-Institutionalized Adopted High School Students

Research highlights lasting cognitive and academic challenges in youth internationally adopted from institutional care. However, there is a lack of research examining internationally adopted students' sense of membership at school and associated academic and psychological outcomes. The current study measured sense of school membership and academic and psychological outcomes in post-institutionalized internationally adopted high school students (n = 29) compared to adolescents internationally adopted from foster care (n = 28) and non-adopted adolescents (n = 32). Post-institutionalized males had a lower sense of school membership than males adopted from foster care or non-adopted males. Group differences in school membership were mediated by academic achievement and psychological well-being.     

Playing the game of school mathematics: being explicit for Indigenous learners and access to learning

Drawing on studies of successful remote schools in one region of Australia, it was found that two key strategies were common in the approaches at these schools. First, to make the strategies and expectations being adopted explicit to all those involved in the learning enterprise, and second, that consistency in approaches was crucial. Bourdieu’s theoretical project is used to understand how the practices are being adopted by the schools and how they contribute to the success of learners of mathematics.     

从清代前期学术流变看桐城派与"汉学"关系——"桐城派与汉宋学之争"札记之二

"汉宋学之争"是清代学术史上的焦点之一。最初,以姚鼐与戴震之间的争论最为引人注目,"汉宋学之争"也因此而成为桐城派研究中常常涉及的问题。但学术界多从"扬汉抑宋"角度评论这场争论,或用戴震拒绝姚鼐师从的请求来解释这场争论的发生。"汉宋学之争"是关于儒学本质与功能之争,它是清代学术流变的产物,即"汉学"家放弃了顾炎武所倡导的"通经致用"的"实学"思想,而将经学蜕变为考据训诂之学,并以考据训诂作为汉、宋学的分界线,从而引发了"汉宋学之争";其导火线则是戴震在谈到义理、考据、文章三者关系时,以"考核"自诩而视文章为"等而末者",贬抑了义理、文章,从而引起与姚鼐的冲突。
