Evaluating the international dimension in an undergraduate curriculum by assessing students’ intercultural sensitivity     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2018

This formative, outcome-oriented, theory-based evaluation research study assessed the effectiveness of requiring an international (‘I’) course by measuring students’ intercultural sensitivity (IS) at the start and end of a semester. Findings revealed that students’ IS scores did not change regardless of the type of class in which the student was enrolled and were not significantly different based on gender, age, ethnicity, undergraduate classification, or number of ‘I’ courses taken. There were significant differences in IS based on religion, traveling outside the US, participating in a study abroad course, and the number of cultural events in which the student had participated. Regression analysis confirmed that religious affiliation and number of times traveled outside the US were significant predictors of IS. This study is an example of the use of theory-based evaluation in an educational system and provides important insights into what experiences affect college students’ IS.  相似文献

关于平均指标若干问题的探讨     

卢海斌 《广播电视大学学报》2002,(2):57-58

目前统计界在对平均指标的概念、数理基础及应用分析等方面的阐述还存在一些疑点。重新界定平均指标的概念、阐明统计平均数与数学平均数的区别、进一步明确调和平均数的应用场合，是非常必要的。  相似文献   

齐海峰竞技成绩的灰色关联分析及GM(1,N)动态协调模型的研究     

孙俊生 《首都体育学院学报》2004,16(1):120-122

采用文献资料法和灰色关联度分析法,对我国优秀男子十项全能运动员齐海峰1999-2002年十项全能的比赛成绩进行统计与分析,运用GM(1,N)动态协调模型对其在总成绩不断提高的各个阶段诸因素间相互联系、相互影响的辩证发展关系进行多方位、多层次研究。结果表明:100米跑、铅球和跳远是影响齐海峰专项成绩的关键因素,其关联度分别为0.8928、0.7443和0.7571,研究还发现,齐海峰在成绩提高的每一个阶段中,系统处于不稳定和非协调发展,其中速度和速度——力量性项目落后是导致系统不稳定和非协调发展的主要因素。  相似文献

马克思主义的生命力和邓小平理论的时代价值     

包心鉴 《淮阴师范学院学报(哲学社会科学版)》2001,23(3):281-287

马克思主义是充满无限生命力的科学。马克思主义所以具有与时俱进的发展本质和发展要求，最重要的是依据三个基本要素：一是时代性、二是实践性、三是科学方法。这三个要素，在邓小平理论中得以充分展示。这是邓小平理论所以成为马克思主义发展的新阶段，所以具有强大生命力和深远时代价值的最重要原因。  相似文献

Sexual Harassment as [Dys]Functional Process: A Feminist Standpoint Analysis     

Debbie Dougherty 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2001,29(4):372-402

Researchers have approached the study of sexual harassment as though it were dysfunctional. However, a feminist standpoint theory analysis would suggest that it functions differently for men and women. A study using discussion groups and stimulated recall interviews was conducted in a large health care organization. A thematic analysis revealed a primary theme of sexual harassment as a [dys]functional process. For the male participants, sexual behavior served as a coping mechanism for stress, as a form of therapeutic care, and to create and demonstrate camaraderie. For the women participants, sexual behavior tended to be either nonfunctional or dysfunctional. They did not associate it with stress reduction, therapeutic touch, and viewed group camaraderie as a means of prevention. Implications are discussed.  相似文献   

Chaos theory, informational needs, and natural disasters   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Timothy L. Sellnow  Matthew W. Seeger  Robert R. Ulmer 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2002,30(4):269-292

This study applies chaos theory to a system-wide analysis of crisis communication in a natural disaster. Specifically, we analyze crisis communication during the 1997 Red River Valley flood in Minnesota and North Dakota. This flood, among the worst in modern American history, consumed entire metropolitan areas, displacing thousands of people. The conditions and decisions leading to the disaster, and the subsequent reactions are retraced. Communication related to river crest predictions (fractals), the shock at the magnitude of the crisis (cosmology episode), novel forms of reorganizing (self-organization), and agencies that aided in establishing a renewed order (strange attractors) are evaluated. Ultimately, we argue that preexisting sensemaking structures favoring rationalized, traditional views of a complex system led officials to make inappropriately unequivocal predictions and ultimately diminished the effectiveness of the region's crisis communication and planning.  相似文献
