Ethnic identity and close friendship in Chinese-American college studentsL'identité ethnique et l'amitié intime chez les étudiants chinoisaméricainsIdentidad etnica y amistad intima entre estudiantes chino-americanos     

Stella Ting-Toomey 《Int J Intercult Relat》1981,5(4):383-406

This article reports an empirical study on the relationship between ethnic identity and close friendship communication patterns in Chinese-American students. The friendship communication variables were: proximity, network size, frequency of interaction, perceived similarity, and degree of intimacy between subjects and close friends. Several hypotheses in this study were confirmed. Generation difference was a reliable predictor of ethnic identity on the 1st and 2nd generation subjects. Proximity was found to be a crucial factor that influenced the ethnicity of subjects' close friendship networks. All friendship variables were related on the zero-order correlation analyses. However, the relationship between ethnic identity and the ethnicity of subjects' friendship networks was not supported. This was explained in terms of sample bias, and the variable of friendship as a universal relational bond that transcends culture. The paper concludes with a set of research questions for future work on ethnic identity and cross-cultural friendship communication.  相似文献   

The Impact of an Early Literacy Initiative on the Long Term Academic Success of Diverse Students     

Stella SiWan Zimmerman  Michael C. Rodriguez  Kirsten L. Rewey  Sandra L. Heidemann 《Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk》2013,18(4):452-481

The primary goal of the Words Work (WW) early literacy initiative was to prepare diverse students to become successful learners in school. Four groups of students were followed over 6 years: students from traditional Head Start (HS) centers, students from augmented HS centers (WW students), students eligible for HS but not enrolled (waitlist or WL), and a random sample of non-Head Start students (NHS). Students received school readiness instruction at approximately 4 years of age, and their performance on standardized tests was followed from 1st grade through 5th grade. WW students significantly outscored HS, WL, and NHS students of similar backgrounds in reading and outscored WL and NHS students in mathematics on 2nd-grade standardized assessments. In addition, WW students were able to maintain their lead through 5th grade in both reading and mathematics. Based on these results, WW is an effective HS enhancement for minimizing the achievement gap often observed between students who may be at risk for academic difficulty and students who are at low risk.  相似文献

Learning technology and disability—Overcoming barriers to inclusion: Evidence from a multicountry study     

Marion Hersh  Stella Mouroutsou 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2019,50(6):3329-3344

The paper uses data from a 15-country study to discuss the factors which affect the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and learning technologies by disabled people and consequently their access to education. Significant differences were found both between and within countries: income and language were the main factors affecting availability. Thus, the greatest availability was in the higher income English-speaking countries and the richer European countries. The main barriers to technology use included cost, lack of funding and lack of information. A particular disparity in technology access was found between the English-speaking European population and Aboriginal speakers of indigenous languages in Australia, with considerably greater access by the former than the latter group. A number of recommendations are presented to increase access to learning and assistive technologies by disabled people. They include encouragement for developers to produce free of charge (minority language) technologies, research on more effective provision of technologies and personal assistance, assistive technology centres in all learning institutions, simple funding mechanisms and a fund to support technology provision in poorer countries.  相似文献   

Kidney function change after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with diabetes and/or hypertension     

Jiaqi FAN  Changjie YU  Kaida REN  Wanbing LIN  Stella NG  Zexin CHEN  Xinping LIN  Lihan WANG  Qifeng ZHU  Yuxin HE  Jubo JIANG  Xianbao LIU  Jian'an WANG 《Journal of Zhejiang University. Science. B》2021,22(3):241-247

Aortic stenosis(AS)is a progressive heart valve disease occurring predominantly in older patients.According to a survey in a western country,the prevalence of AS is nearly 6.4%in patients over 75 years old(Carabello and Paulus,2009).Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)is an alternative method for AS patients.Previous studies have described how up to 66%of TAVR patients have concomitant baseline kidney dysfunction(Ferro et al.,2015;Gargiulo et al.,2015).The majority of patients can benefit from the TAVR procedure with the recovery of kidney function.  相似文献

跨文化视野中的中英远程外语学习--英国开放大学与汕头电大个案研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

肖俊洪  Stella Hurd 《现代远程教育研究》2004,(4):63-67

远程开放教育蓬勃发展，但其动作在世界各地又各有千秋，因此，从跨文化的角度研究环球远程开放教育十分重要。本文以英国开放大学和汕头电大为研究对象，调查在两种不同文化背景下的远程外语学习，并着重分析两校学生的学习信念，所遇到的困难和策略，探讨远程外语学习的资源建设和支持服务体系。该调查结论对于其它学科的远程学习也具有一定参照意义。  相似文献

Lexical and default stress assignment in reading Greek     

Athanassios Protopapas  Svetlana Gerakaki  Stella Alexandri 《Journal of Research in Reading》2006,29(4):418-432

Greek is a language with lexical stress that marks stress orthographically with a special diacritic. Thus, the orthography and the lexicon constitute potential sources of stress assignment information in addition to any possible general default metrical pattern. Here, we report two experiments with secondary education children reading aloud pseudo‐word stimuli, in which we manipulated the availability of lexical (using stimuli resembling particular words) and visual (existence and placement of the diacritic) information. The reliance on the diacritic was found to be imperfect. Strong lexical effects as well as a default metrical pattern stressing the penultimate syllable were revealed. Reading models must be extended to account for multisyllabic word reading including, in particular, stress assignment based on the interplay among multiple possible sources of information.  相似文献   

Encountering disregard in Australian academe: the subjective perspective of a disaffiliated racial ‘other’   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Stella Coram 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2009,30(3):275-287

This article proposes that progressive frameworks underpinned by diversity are contradictory to the inclusion of the ‘other’ in Australian higher education. I integrate the critical race theory constructs of disregard and convergence with white privilege and indigenous lacking to claim that objective processes underpinned by merit embed the marginalising of the ‘other’. I draw on storytelling to enunciate my subjective experience of disregard as a Maori woman scholar to shed light on institutional culture in the maintaining of insider privilege.  相似文献
