THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLES OF EUROPE: WHAT IT COULD BE     

Felix Peregudov 《Higher Education in Europe》1989,14(1):16-24

Inspired by the coining together of the various countries of Europe, by the rebirth, at all levels, of interest in the common European identity, and by the growing European consensus as to the importance of the university as a major pan‐European cultural institution, the author, First Deputy Chairman of the USSR State Committee for Public Education, presents a project for the founding of a University of the Peoples of Europe. What he envisions is primarily a research institution devoted to the study of pan‐European problems of all sorts and the generalization of the solutions. The author suggests outlines of both the possible activities of such a university and of its organization. He believes that the institution should function under the auspices and with the support of Unesco.  相似文献

Evaluation of an Integrated Bridging Course on Academic Writing for Overseas Postgraduate Students     

Uschi Felix  Michael Lawson 《高等教育研究与发展》1994,13(1):59-69

This study, supported by the Flinders University Research Budget, evaluated the effects of an integrated four‐week bridging course for postgraduate overseas students. It was funded by the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau and focused on the students' academic writing skills in terms of English grammar, expression and spelling as well as on structure, argument and critical analysis. Quantitative data was gathered from the training group and two control groups, one made up of overseas peers, the other of local postgraduate students. Further qualitative data were gathered from the training group through Journal entries and regular discussions. Results showed a significant improvement in expression and structure in the training group's writing from pre‐ to post‐training, with a significantly higher mark awarded by independent raters to post‐training writing. While significant differences between the two overseas groups and the local control group had been recorded on most variables before training, some of these were reduced between the training group and the local group after training. Although results were positive overall, students continued to produce high rates of errors in grammar and to display weaknesses in developing an argument. Journal entries suggested that students began their studies in a state of gross over‐confidence and moved through doubt and concern before reaching a more accurate estimate of their abilities at the end of the bridging course.  相似文献   

Relations among school connectedness,hope, life satisfaction,and bully victimization     

Sukkyung You  Michael J. Furlong  Erika Felix  Jill D. Sharkey  Diane Tanigawa  Jennifer Greif Green 《Psychology in the schools》2008,45(5):446-460

This study investigates the role of school connectedness in mediating the relation between students' sense of hope and life satisfaction for three groups: Bullied Victims, Peer Victims, and Nonvictims. Students in grades 5 to 12 (N = 866) completed the California Bully/Victim Scale, School Connectedness Scale, Children's Hope Scale, and Students' Life Satisfaction Scale. Multigroup latent mean analysis revealed significant group mean differences in hope, school connectedness, and life satisfaction, supporting our bullying classification. Multigroup structural model analysis showed differential patterns between hope, school connectedness, and life satisfaction. Specifically, school connectedness partially mediated the relation between hope and life satisfaction for the Nonvictims only. The effect of hope on school connectedness was stronger for the Bullied Victims than the Nonvictims, and the effect of hope on life satisfaction was stronger for the Peer Victims and Bullied Victims than the Nonvictims group. Implications for research and practice are discussed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献   

Providing ability to probability: Reducing cognitive load through worked‐out examples     

KimberLeigh Felix Hadfield 《Teaching Statistics》2021,43(1):28-35

Undergraduate students tend to struggle with probability in their introductory statistics course. Probability problem solving requires several steps. First, students must make sense of the probability scenario, then determine the appropriate probability rules, and finally, execute the procedures to solve the problem. With no previous exposure to probability, this presents too great a cognitive load for many students. Using worked‐out problems then transitioning to partially worked‐out problems in an introductory statistics course at a large university helped students succeed at solving probability problems. The worked‐out problems included writing prompts to encourage self‐explanation of students' thinking through studying the worked‐out examples. This paper explains the use of these instructional principles and their implementation in an introductory statistics course for non‐STEM majors, resulting in higher student achievement and understanding.  相似文献   

声发射方法研究Co-40Cr合金高温氧化过程的膜/基界面缺陷     

靳惠明  张剑峰 《东南大学学报》2006,22(1):125-129

用热重分析(TGA)研究了Co-40Cr合金及其离子注钇样品在1 000℃空气中的恒温氧化动力学规律.用扫描电镜(SEM)对不同样品表面Cr2O3氧化膜的形貌进行了观测.用声发射(AE)方法对合金表面氧化膜在恒温生长阶段和空冷阶段的开裂与剥落进行了实时监测,根据相应的氧化膜开裂模型,对声发射信号在时域和数域上的分布情况进行了分析.结果表明离子注钇降低了Co-40Cr合金的恒温氧化速率,并提高了合金表面Cr2O3氧化膜的抗开裂和抗剥落性能.离子注钇提高合金抗氧化性能的主要原因在于钇细化了合金表面Cr2O3氧化膜的晶粒,提高了氧化膜的高温塑性和蠕变能力,并且显著降低了Cr2O3/Co-40Cr界面缺陷的数量和大小.  相似文献

Fighting an epidemic: The role of schools in reducing childhood obesity     

Sara A. Pyle  Jill Sharkey  Georgette Yetter  Erika Felix  Michael J. Furlong  W.S. Carlos Poston 《Psychology in the schools》2006,43(3):361-376

Obesity among children and adolescents is a major public health concern affecting the physical and emotional health of youth while increasing their risk of reduced quality and duration of life. Schools and communities have begun to galvanize to address this epidemic and need quality empirical information to guide their policy, programming, and intervention efforts. This article reviews the definition of childhood obesity and the physical, psychosocial, and academic consequences of obesity among youth. The roles of schools and school psychologists in intervening against this overwhelming trend are discussed as well as current empirically based programs. Schools are recommended to take a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to school policies and programs to increase nutrition and physical activity. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

‘I love a curry’: student-teacher discourse around ‘race’ and ethnicity at a UK university     

Linda Dunne  Virginia Kay  Rachel Boyle  Felix Obadan  Vini Lander 《师资教育杂志》2018,44(2):162-174

This paper presents aspects of a small scale study that considered student teachers’ language and discourse around race and ethnicity at a university in the northwest of England. The first part of the paper critiques current education-related policy, context and practice to situate the research and then draws upon aspects of critical race theory and whiteness theory as frames of reference. In the research, 250 student-teachers completed questionnaires that invited responses to statements about race and ethnicity and this was followed by two semi-structured group interviews. A discourse analysis approach was taken to analyse the language used in the questionnaire responses and, in particular, the group interviews. Recurrent discursive configurations were characterised by language that signified othering, correct knowledge, personalisation and discomfort. Hesitations and silences during group discussions perhaps intimated thinking time and also maybe a reluctance to talk about aspects of race and ethnicity, and what was not said remains significant. It is suggested that a reconstruction of a teacher/educator subjectivity that fosters self-reflection on values and racial positioning, is needed in teacher education, alongside critical examination of the silences and discomfort surrounding race and ethnicity.  相似文献
