Social relations as predictors of achievement in math in Kenyan primary schools     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2014

In sub-Saharan Africa, where there is limited financial and human capital, it is important to examine how social relationships may serve to promote or undermine human capital formation. However, little is known about the contributions of social relations to human capital development, especially in terms of academic achievement in Africa. This study examined how variations in key aspects of social relations among teachers; between teachers and students; between principals, teachers, parents and students affect achievement in mathematics among sixth graders in 70 schools in six districts in Kenya. We modeled mathematics achievement as a function of measures of social perception and support while adjusting for school-, classroom- and student level background characteristics. We found that net of teacher subject knowledge and background characteristics, teachers who display commitment to teaching by always correcting homework and keeping students engaged during math lessons had their students performing better. Teacher absenteeism and lack of interest in teaching were negatively associated with performance in math. Lack of parental involvement in the classroom also had negative effects on grades. At the school level, the level of engagement of the principal, measured by supervision of teachers and good interpersonal interactions with parents had positive effects on math achievement. Schools where parents provided material and financial support had better grades, while student delinquency and absenteeism negatively affected grades.  相似文献

学校体育学学科发展历程与相关问题厘定     

黄耀东 《广州体育学院学报》2016,(3):121-124

通过回顾新中国成立以来学校体育学发展的历程,发现这一学科的建立与发展主要呈现出如下特点:学校体育研究领域较为清晰,自身发展比较成熟,并体现出一定的规律性;适应了学科分化的趋势;在教育政策的支持下确立了学科地位;一大批学校体育工作者的不懈努力.通过梳理我国学校体育学研究成果,认为学校体育学是研究与揭示学校体育现象及其运行规律的一门相对独立的新兴学科,其研究对象是学校体育运行过程中的现象与规律.  相似文献   

老铁山—长兴岛VLCC外海航路安全水深的确定     

李连博  刘德新  尹建川  戴冉 《上海海事大学学报》2016,37(2):1-6

为确保长兴岛北港区30万吨级油船泊位正常营运，科学合理地规划老铁山水道至长兴岛北港区的外海航路，对国内外关于航道水深的标准、规范和影响船舶富余水深的要素进行对比分析.基于MATLAB 8.0平台，利用芳村公式、Eryuzlu（1994）修正公式和Norbin公式计算船舶在开敞水域航行时的下沉量、富余水深和安全水深，并画出满载VLCC在开敞水域航行时的下沉量、富余水深、安全水深在不同航速情况下随水深与吃水比值变化的曲线.根据《海港总体设计规范》、芳村公式、Eryuzlu(1994)修正公式和Norbin公式，计算出在开敞水域航行的满载VLCC在不同航速下所需的下沉量和外海航路安全水深.运用该方法提出老铁山水道至长兴岛北港区外海航路的安全水深建议值.该方法可为渤海湾其他有VLCC码头的外海航路设计提供一定的参考.  相似文献   

Identifying needs and enhancing learning about climate change adaptation for water professionals at the post-graduate level     

David Alan George  Poh-Ling Tan  Jeffrey Frank Clewett 《Environmental Education Research》2016,22(1):62-88

Using a participatory learning approach, we report on the delivery and evaluation of a climate change and risk assessment tool to help manage water risks within the agricultural sector. Post-graduate water-professional students from a range of countries, from both developed and emerging economies were involved in using this tool. Our approach included participative learning tools – group discussion, software, and risk matrices. The materials developed met the needs of the students, allowing these students to incorporate their learning and adapt the package of materials for use in their home countries. Analysis of evaluations show that the tools and materials are particularly useful and emphasizes the need for sound learning materials and tools, funding to deliver training, and policy support to accelerate education and adoption of authentic climate change adaptation practices. The expected benefits for water professionals about climate change will be translated into improved socioeconomic and environmental outcomes if adopted.  相似文献   

论阅读教学中“教”“学”主体的转变     

黄朝霞 《湖南第一师范学报》2011,11(6):43-47

在应试教育的大背景下，阅读教学已经异化为应试教学，沦落为应试教育的手段。阅读教学要做到优质高效，并对整个小学语文教学起到重要的拉动作用，必须实现由“教”到“学”的主体转变，即课堂教学要由从以教师“教”为中心转变到以学生“学”为中心。只有经历这样的转变，阅读教学才能实现质的跨越。  相似文献
