The Importance of Making the Well-Being of Children in Poverty a Priority     

Debra Lindsey Prince  Kaye Pepper  Kay Brocato 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2006,34(1):21-28

Hurricane Katrina exposed to the world the side of America that is often ignored or forgotten—the side of America where people live in poverty and struggle to meet their most basic needs. This article focuses primarily on children in Mississippi and highlights the effect that poverty has on children’s well-being at an early age and future academic success. It also provides evidence for the importance of funding high-quality pre-k programs and parental training to ensure they begin the process of preparing their children for success, not only in Mississippi but in the other states that are leaving their children behind. Finally, with the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind in 2007, recommendations are made for refocusing the premise of the law from accountability and high stakes testing to meeting the needs of all children so they can truly be successful in school.  相似文献   

Towards a European Academic Labour Market? Some Lessons Drawn from Empirical Studies on Academic Mobility   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Christine Musselin 《Higher Education》2004,48(1):55-78

In Europe, academic mobility has a long tradition which began with the birth of the European universities in the middle ages. Recently, European policies were strongly oriented towards the promotion of student and academic mobility and the creation of research networks and projects within Europe. Nevertheless, academic labour markets in Europe remain highly national and many obstacles hinder the development of European careers and the europeanisation/internationalisation of academic recruitments. Two different perspectives will be developed in this paper. First we will document the strong divergences among the national recruitment and careers processes within Europe and the problems raised by this situation. Second, we will draw on two empirical studies we conducted on academic mobility, the first one, led in 1995 in France, Germany and the UK and the second this year in France. Both studies show that most post-docs conceived their foreign experience as a personal strategy and aimed at improving their chances for recruitment in their own country. Within Europe, foreign country careers still are an exception due to accidental opportunities.  相似文献

Intervention for executive functions development in early elementary school children: effects on learning and behaviour,and follow-up maintenance     

Natália Martins Dias  Alessandra Gotuzo Seabra 《教育心理学》2017,37(4):468-486

Executive functions (EF) can be promoted by classroom interventions. Our study investigated whether (a) an intervention conducted by teachers improves EF in children; (b) there are effects on behaviour and academic achievement; and (c) there are stable benefits in a one-year follow-up. Fifty-eight first-graders, divided into experimental (EG = 28) and control (CG = 30) groups, were assessed in EF, reading and arithmetic tests. Parents and teachers answered EF and behaviour functional scales. The intervention was conducted by teachers in the classroom context. EG children showed greater gains in EF and outperformed controls on reading and arithmetic measures. The EG maintained better performance in the one-year follow-up and showed transfer effect for behaviour measures. The EF intervention may be a useful tool for promoting improved adjustment and academic achievement.  相似文献   

Vocational Preferences and College Expectations: An Extension of Holland’s Principle of Self-Selection     

Gary R. Pike 《Research in higher education》2006,47(5):591-612

Holland’s theory of vocational preferences provides a powerful framework for studying students’ college experiences. A basic proposition of Holland’s theory is that individuals actively seek out and select environments that are congruent with their personality types. Although studies consistently support the self-selection proposition, they have not examined the processes underlying students’ selections. It seems reasonable to presume that many students select academic majors because they believe or expect that the academic environments will be congruent with their personalities. Using data from 631 entering students, this research examined the possibility that self-selection is related to students’ college expectations. Results provided support for the role of expectations in the selection of academic majors.  相似文献

胡春华  罗奇 《绵阳师范学院学报》2005,24(6):27-30,107

版权法究竟保护作品的什么？这是长期困扰版权法界的一个问题。法官对此问题的不同理解则往往会对同一起版权纠纷案件是否侵权作出不同的认定。本文通过对一“悬棺葬”考古学学术专著与考古科普读物的版权侵权纠纷的个案分析，提出了学术作品的版权法保护范围及科普作品对学术专著的合理使用的界定。  相似文献
