Infant signs as intervention? Promoting symbolic gestures for preverbal children in low-income families supports responsive parent–child relationships     

Claire D. Vallotton 《Early childhood research quarterly》2012

Gestures are a natural form of communication between preverbal children and parents which support children's social and language development; however, low-income parents gesture less frequently, disadvantaging their children. In addition to pointing and waving, children are capable of learning many symbolic gestures, known as “infant signs,” if modeled by adults. The practice of signing with infants is increasingly popular in middle-income populations around the world, but has not been examined as an intervention to promote positive qualities of the parent–child relationship. This study tested whether an infant sign intervention (ISI) encouraging low-income parents to use symbolic gestures could enhance the parent–child relationship. A final sample of twenty-nine toddlers and their families were followed for 7 months after assignment to the ISI or a control group. Children and mothers in ISI group families used more symbolic gestures than those in control families. Mothers’ in the ISI group were more attuned to changes in children's affect and more responsive to children's distress cues. Mothers in the intervention group also viewed their children more positively, reducing parenting-related stress. This study provides evidence that a simple infant sign intervention is an effective tool to promote bidirectional communication and positive interactions for preverbal children and their parents.  相似文献   

建设中国特色的共产党初探     

张忠江 《茂名学院学报》2005,15(5):1-5,9

建设一个什么样的党和怎样建设党，是党的建设的根本问题，需要根据实践的发展和时代特征不断探索、不断解决的问题。领导有中国特色革命和建设的中国共产党，它的自身建设必然要求有中国特色。中国共产党80多年来，党的三代领导集体开创和实施了中国特色的党的建设的两个伟大工程。江泽民在世纪之交，总结了中国共产党80年的历史经验，汲取了世界社会主义运动的历史经验，特别是苏联东欧剧变的深刻教训，提出了“三个代表”重要思想，科学回答了“建设一个什么样的党和怎样建设党”这个基本问题。建设一个什么样的党就是要建设一个“三个代表”的党，就是要建设一个中国特色的共产党。  相似文献   

卡夫卡与萨姆沙:现实与象征     

陈争妍 《宜宾学院学报》2005,5(5):94-96

《变形记》是卡夫卡的代表作之一,其主人公格里高尔·萨姆沙正是卡夫卡本人内心情感的外化,两人之间存在着诸多相似之处:如对自己的工作都是既排斥又无从选择,都有着冷漠的家庭关系和一个专横霸道的父亲,卡夫卡的“患病情结”在格里高尔身上也有明显的体现。对两者之间现实与象征关系的论析可以帮助我们更深入地了解卡夫卡的创作心理及动机  相似文献   

标枪技能学习中表象训练法的实证研究     

刘卫东 《喀什师范学院学报》2007,28(6):74-76

以新疆师范大学体育学院2003级体育教育专业田径专选班的学生为研究对象,运用表象训练教学法和传统训练教学法分别对练习者进行标枪动作技能的教学与训练.实践结果表明,表象训练在标枪动作技能的掌握上优于传统教法,动作技能的习得速度与表象训练掌握的熟练程度有关;表象训练能有效的防止动作技能的消退,有利于维持练习者练习时心率变化的稳定性,为体育教学改革提供理论与实践依据.  相似文献   

论《长恨歌》审美表现的成就与缺陷     

袁盛勇 《绥化学院学报》2003,23(1):71-75

王安忆《长恨歌》是中国当代文学中的重要作品之一。它立足民间的叙事立场，表现了王琦瑶的人生历程，因而是一部有关都市民间生存形式的审美表现的重要作品。作者的叙述动力来自她对“虚荣”、“命运”、“怀旧”的关注。但是作者在对民间生存形式的认同上缺乏一种批判意识，在对人物命运的抒写上缺乏一种更为宽广的人文关怀，在描写上缺乏一种更能激发人们审美想像的美学空间的开拓，因而使得作品难以成为长久敲击并拷问人心的诗的交响！  相似文献   

Learning from childhood to mature adulthood: what makes people want ‘to learn to learn’ and keep on learning?     

Mina O'Dowd 《Compare》2005,35(3):321-338

This article describes 35 individuals who have expressed an interest in taking university courses after retirement. Longitudinal data and individuals' own accounts are presented, in an effort to clarify the role that symbolic resources play in individuals' lives, for their capacity to construct their own identity, to function as social actors, and ‘to learn to learn’. It is argued that their lives provide grounds to consider a re‐conceptualisation of adult learning.  相似文献

Applying Diversity Management Concepts to Improve the Minority Educational Pipeline     

Joy Oguntebi  Maria Shcherbakova  Lynn P. Wooten 《Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education》2012,10(4):473-494

The objective of this conceptual article is to investigate existing diversity management paradigms and extend their implications toward the goal of increasing minority representation in management education. We suggest that the existing learning‐and‐effectiveness diversity management paradigm (Thomas & Ely, 1996, Harvard Business Review, 74(5), 79–90), which integrates contributions from diverse individuals, can be utilized in addressing the underrepresented minority shortage at each progressive stage of the education pipeline, beginning with the high school level. We propose and discuss a complex set of solutions that highlight the students’ educational experience, motivation, awareness, and social environment. These solutions target minority underrepresentation with the goal of ultimately increasing the proportion of minorities in the PhD pool and subsequently within the management professoriate.  相似文献   

进步与倒退,解放与孤立——《莎菲日记》与《觉醒》中的女性意识     

屈丽娜 《阜阳师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2010,(6):56-59

本文以拉康的精神分析理论为基础,系统分析了中西方两部女性觉醒题材代表作《莎菲日记》和《觉醒》。一方面,两部作品中女性角色的觉醒过程中展现出相同的模式,是进步与倒退、解放与孤立的并存。女性回归本真的向往受到男权社会的束缚,自我解放的过程也意味着自我孤立。另一方面,两部作品深入探讨了女性觉醒后所面临的困境以及造成这种困境的社会和个人因素。对两部作品的对比分析体现出中西方女性觉醒题材作品的共性和不同。  相似文献   

实施城乡一体化的分流教育——布迪厄的文化再生产理论对当前农村教育的启示   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

陈旭峰 《教育学术月刊》2010,(7):3-6

布迪厄的文化再生产理论认为,教育从本质上是一种符号暴力,是由一种专断权力所强加的一种文化专断,教育通过再生产统治阶级的文化实现了社会再生产。从布迪厄的文化再生产理论我们可以发现,当前的教育体系并不利于农村教育的发展,不利于农村人口向上层社会的流动。农村教育应该在城乡一体化的框架之下适时的开展分流教育,既要满足农村人升学的要求,实现农村人口的向上流动,同时又要为城市和农村培养符合要求的劳动力。  相似文献
