Practice makes better? A study of meditation learners in a classroom environment     

Chin‐Yen Lin  Yen‐Ku Kuo  Yen‐Lin Kuo  Li‐An Ho  Chien‐Ting Lin 《Educational studies》2007,33(1):65-80

The study investigates the effect of length of meditation history on various factors, namely learning motivation, learning outcome and classroom climate. Data were collected from working adult learners (n = 450) attending meditation classes in two large cities in Taiwan. The investigation categorized learners based on meditation experience, namely <1 year, 1–3 years, 4–6 years, 7–10 years and >10 years. The study investigated how experience affects learners in their perception of motivation, learning outcome and classroom climate, using one‐way ANOVA and post‐hoc analysis. Results showed a non‐linear ordered response—longer meditation experience does not in all cases increase benefits gained from meditation. A follow‐up group discussion with learners identified learning fatigue as a possible factor for the non‐linear results. In addition, through canonical correlation analysis, the study also showed that learning motivation and classroom climate is strongly correlated with learning outcome. The paper concludes with a discussion of results.  相似文献

The effects of visual and verbal coding mnemonics on learning Chinese characters in computer-based instruction     

Mei-Liang Amy Kuo  Simon Hooper 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2004,52(3):23-34

The effects of different approaches to learning Chinese characters were investigated. Ninety-two high-school students were randomly assigned to one of five treatment groups: translation, verbal mnemonics, visual mnemonics, dual coding mnemonics, or self-generated mnemonics. All groups received instruction and completed posttests in a computer-based environment. The results indicate that participants who generated their own mnemonics demonstrated higher posttest performance than those in visual coding, verbal coding, and translation groups; subjects in the dual coding group scored higher than those in the translation group. Those who generated their own mnemonics spent more time on task than any other group, and those in the verbal coding group took more time than those in the translation group. Survey and qualitative data suggest that learners' interpretations of the Chinese characters were rooted in their cultural backgrounds and personal experiences.  相似文献   

Effect of Marangoni Convection on Mass Transfer in Liquid Phase     

余黎明  曾爱武  余国琮 《天津大学学报(英文版)》2006,12(6):391-398

Marangoni effectis of interestto the chemical en-gineers from both scientific and practical points ofview[1—6]. The Marangoni convection contributes tothe renewal of the interfacial surface and is capable ofincreasing the mass transfer rate, resulting in intensi-fication of separation processes such as distillation,extraction, absorption, and desorption. The theoretical studies of Marangoni instability inthe past were focused on determining the critical tran-sition point. The critical condit…  相似文献

Analytical and experimental bearing capacities of system scaffolds     

Jui-lin Peng  Tsong Yen  Ching-chi Kuo  Siu-lai Chan 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2009,10(1):82-92

We investigated the structural behavior and bearing capacity of system scaffolds. The research showed that the critical load of a system scaffold structure without diagonal braces is similar to that of a door-shaped steel scaffold structure. Joint stiffness between vertical props in system scaffolds can be defined based on a comparison between analytical and experimental results. When the number of scaffold stories increases, the critical loads of system scaffolds decrease. Diagonal braces markedly enhance the critical load of system scaffolds. The coupling joint position between vertical props should be kept away from story-to-story joints to prevent a reduction in critical loads. The critical load of a system scaffold decreases as the quantity of extended vertical props at the bottom of the structure increases. A large Christmas tree set up by system scaffolds under various loads was used as an example for analysis and to check the design of system scaffolds.  相似文献   

Measuring argumentative reasoning: What's behind the numbers?     

Alina Reznitskaya  Li-jen Kuo  Monica Glina  Richard C. Anderson 《Learning and individual differences》2009,19(2):219-224

The aim of this paper is to develop a more thorough, empirically-based understanding of the differences in measurement of written argumentation when alternative scoring frameworks are employed. Reflective compositions of 127 elementary school children were analyzed using analytic and holistic scales. The scales were derived from Argument Schema Theory, an explicit model of argumentation development. We investigated the relationships among the different scales, as well as their relative reliability and efficiency. The scores derived using analytic and holistic methods have adequate reliability. Although less efficient, analytic scoring allows for gathering more sensitive and detailed information about the differences in student performance. The results suggest that the choice of an analytic framework for measuring argumentation should not be arbitrary, as each scoring method taps into distinct facets of the construct.  相似文献   

粉色春天     

沈阔 《文化交流》2012,(4):70-74

桃花情结粉色桃花最有中国文人情结。《诗·周南》“桃之天天”,描写其娇艳繁茂态貌。春秋息国国君夫人息妫容颜美丽,被人称作“桃花夫人”。在中国文化中,有桃花色一说。唐诗中“1人面桃花相映红”的名句,以女子相比于桃花。粉红桃色也便象征女性。桃花,作为一种自然物,本来不具有“文化”的涵义。  相似文献
