The Impact of an Erasmus Placement in Students’ Perception of their Intercultural Communicative Competence     

Ramiro Durán Martínez  Gloria Gutiérrez  Fernando Beltrán Llavador  Fernando Martínez Abad 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2016,45(4):338-354

Pre- and post-questionnaires answered by UK Nottingham Trent University (NTU) and Spain’s University of Salamanca (USAL) students on their placement abroad support a comparative analysis of its impact on their intercultural communicative competence, comprising the awareness, attitude, skills and knowledge dimensions. NTU students started their placements with better results in them all. Yet, while both groups completed their stay with a similarly increased awareness, the knowledge and skills of the USAL group matched the results of NTU students and, whereas the scores of the attitude dimension towards the host country of NTU students did not increase significantly, those of USAL students decreased.  相似文献   

“Oh,I’m Here!”: Social Media’s Impact on the Cross-cultural Adaptation of Students Studying Abroad     

Todd L. Sandel 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2014,43(1):1-29

This study investigates the perceptions and interpretations of social media and online communication by students engaged in study abroad programs. In-depth interviews were conducted and analyzed with 23 American and international students who completed or were engaged in a study abroad program. Results suggest that online communication enhanced the students’ experience, providing help with sociocultural skills, informational needs, relational bonds, and psychological well-being. Different platforms were preferred when communicating with friends versus family and intimates. Online communication between co-nationals from the student’s home country buffered both the sojourning student’s acculturative stress, and the stress and concern of distant family members.  相似文献

Negotiations of cultural identities by Indian women engineering students in US engineering programmes     

Debalina Dutta 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2016,45(3):177-195

The paper analyses the identities of Indian women engineers in the gendered organizational context of US engineering programmes. Participant narratives discuss the ways in which women are subjected to identity struggles in India due to gendered patrifocal norms that impose structural, societal, and familial pressures on women. Subsequently, when these women enter US engineering programmes, they encounter a highly masculine organizational and cultural space. Participants discuss identity dislocations, transformations, and assimilation as they seek to meld into the existing structures and find a career trajectory. I draw upon liminality theory to explore the cultural transitions, identity restructuring, and negotiations of Indian women engineers, navigating the intersections of competing and intersecting cultural norms of gender and engineering in India and the US, work, and family. The findings indicate the layers of gendered ideology that constitute engineering education in India and the US, the societal pressures of marriage and family rooted in patrifocal Indian norms, the barriers to finding an engineering job, the resources within the structures that support women, and the identification of patriarchy as the enactment of agency and as a site for change.  相似文献   

Handwriting isolated cursive letters in young children: Effect of the visual trace deletion     

《Learning and Instruction》2021

This study assesses the handwriting of isolated cursive letters in five-year-old children and the effect of a modification in visual feedback. Sixty-four children copied twelve cursive letters with an inking pen and a non-inking pen. Reducing visual feedback decreased the mean number of penlifts, and increased mean velocity and fluency. However, it increased the size of the letters (trajectory length) and reduced their quality. We suggest that processing visual feedback of the emerging visual trace may interrupt the fluency of the movement, while writing without seeing the trace may place greater emphasis on motor control and the use of somatosensory feedback. This study supplies reflection about sensory feedback and the moment when it should be provided in handwriting instruction. Practitioners should be aware that variation in the writing environment (surface, tools …) modifies sensory feedback and affects handwriting learning (gesture and outcome) in different manner.  相似文献

付晓静  潘陈青  罗幽诗 《武汉体育学院学报》2020,54(2):11-17

传播游戏理论强调传播作为一种主观性游戏的存在，体育传播与此具有天然的契合点。该文在界定体育传播产品内涵、分析传播游戏理论观点的基础上，提出体育传播产品要从传递信息走向营造体验，要开发体育视频资源，利用VR技术增强赛事体验，借助机器人提升体育信息传播速度，采用数据可视化增强体育传播的趣味性与观赏性。  相似文献   

文化传播的异质性分化：巴西足球的表演性释读          下载免费PDF全文

路云亭 《体育科研》2017,(5):31-38,44

足球是一种极易传播的游戏文化，足球在世界各地的传播大多体现出同质性，却在巴西获得了一种异质性的因素。巴西足球的特质异性来自人种的多元化，也和巴西人逍遥的文化精神相关联，又与巴西的气候及生态情况难脱干系。巴西足球给全世界民众都带来了一种超凡的技术，还展示出了热带国家特有的朝气、自由感以及灵透气质。巴西足球就此成为国家的主体精神，其品牌影响力超越了这个国家其他所有的文化类型。巴西文化只有桑巴舞和足球是世界级的，巴西文化具有单一突进的功能。巴西人没有受过战争创伤，其足球中的自由主义精神显得纯色而富有原始性。当巴西足球失去了诸多的国家威权符号的附加值后，其内在的戏剧性与游戏性就得以激活，这是巴西足球带给全世界民众的一种启示。  相似文献   

A comparison of visual search strategies of elite and non-elite tennis players through cluster analysis     

Nicholas P. Murray 《Journal of sports sciences》2017,35(3):241-246

Considerable research has documented that successful performance in interceptive tasks (such as return of serve in tennis) is based on the performers’ capability to capture appropriate anticipatory information prior to the flight path of the approaching object. Athletes of higher skill tend to fixate on different locations in the playing environment prior to initiation of a skill than their lesser skilled counterparts. The purpose of this study was to examine visual search behaviour strategies of elite (world ranked) tennis players and non-ranked competitive tennis players (n = 43) utilising cluster analysis. The results of hierarchical (Ward’s method) and nonhierarchical (k means) cluster analyses revealed three different clusters. The clustering method distinguished visual behaviour of high, middle-and low-ranked players. Specifically, high-ranked players demonstrated longer mean fixation duration and lower variation of visual search than middle-and low-ranked players. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that cluster analysis is a useful tool for detecting and analysing the areas of interest for use in experimental analysis of expertise and to distinguish visual search variables among participants’.  相似文献
