The study examined African American, Asian American, and European American college students’ previous direct and indirect
experiences of seeking professional psychological services and related attitudes. Survey data were collected from 254 European
American, 182 African American and 82 Asian American college students. Results revealed that fewer African American and Asian
American college students had sought professional psychological services, knew someone who had sought psychological services,
and knew a close person who was diagnosed with a psychological disorder, relative to European American students. Furthermore,
African American and Asian American participants showed less favorable attitudes on a variety of help-seeking attitudes, compared
to the European American group. 相似文献
Between 1968 and 1973 the Taiwanese government undertook the most extensive expansion on record of the public junior high school system in Taiwan. This study analyzes the effects of the 1968 education reform and subsequent high school expansion on gender disparities in employment generally, as well in different sectors and classes of employment. Our results show that the education expansion exerted a major influence on the reallocation of female workers across various sectors and types of employment, thereby contributing to the efficient reallocation of females in the Taiwan economy. 相似文献
This article focuses on the Cooperative Remotely Accessible Learning (CORAL) system to promote cooperative constructive distance
learning currently under development at National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. The CORAL system is a collective and collaborative
project intended to integrate four major components in concept and construction: an interactive learning environment, educational
foundations and implications, domain knowledge, and research efforts. The CORAL system provides the first comprehensive and
networked courseware written in Chinese. The development process of CORAL including analysis, design, development, and evaluation
is reported. Research issues are also addressed. 相似文献
This article seeks to contribute to the existing scholarship on academic mobility in two ways. First, it brings together insights on academic mobility (aspirations, desperations) and higher education internationalisation to show how we may analytically organise these insights to shed light on the shifting global higher education landscape from an experiential perspective. Second, it provides fresh data on the ‘lived experiences’ of mobile faculty members based in an attractive academic destination outside of the traditional knowledge cores—Singapore. As a city state without any natural resources, Singapore has successfully transformed its economy into one that is knowledge-intensive based on combined efforts from grooming locals to recruiting foreign talents to shore up skilled manpower needs. These efforts are reflected in the university sector where Singapore’s comprehensive universities have consistently ranked high across many global university rankings. Using survey and interview data, I show how the mobility and immobility experiences of faculty based in Singapore have contributed to its making as a ‘sticky’ and ‘slippery’ academic destination. My contributions point to the need to integrate individual-level factors underpinning academic mobility decisions with systemic developments to better understand the changing global higher education landscape today.
Teaching English in elementary schools has been an important educational policy in Asian countries over the past several decades.
This study investigates how in-service teachers in elementary schools conceptualize their practical knowledge about English
teaching in Taiwan. It provides examples of experiences and practical knowledge that English teachers have developed in their
own contexts. The practical knowledge of teachers was investigated using a qualitative case study. Three in-service teachers
participated in this study. Data include interviews, classroom observations, teachers’ reflective journals, and teaching materials.
The study provides practical principles and rules of practice for elementary EFL teachers. It offers insights that policy
makers need to consider in setting up a sound English teaching and learning program for elementary schools in EFL contexts. 相似文献
This paper presents a moving horizon estimation approach for the multirate sampled-data system with unknown time-delay sequence. To estimate the unknown variables of interest, two main challenging issues need to be addressed: (a) synthesizing the multirate input and output data for state estimation, (b) simultaneously estimating the continuous state and discrete time-delay sequence. In this work a moving horizon estimation based approach is developed to tackle these issues. The proposed approach can simultaneously estimate both the continuous states and discrete time-delay sequence for dynamic systems. The effects of different noise level on the estimation of continuous states and discrete time-delay sequence are analyzed. The effectiveness of this method is illustrated through a simulation study. 相似文献
