A 60-item measure, the Personal-Social Development Self-Efficacy Inventory (PSD-SEI) was developed to assess personal-social development self-efficacy among adolescents in Hong Kong. The PSD-SEI was administered to 6,776 Grade 10–13 students in Hong Kong. Principal components analysis with varimax solutions yielded seven meaningful factors: 1. Self-Realization, 2. Leadership and Teamwork, 3. Emotional, Physical and Social Wellness, 4. Interests and Life Goals 5. Relationships, 6. Avoiding Drugs, Excessive Drinking and Smoking, and 7. Finance and Self-Care. Reliability analyses showed that the total scale and subscales were internally consistent. The data suggested that Hong Kong adolescents had some but not strong confidence in their personal-social development. Boys were more confident in self-realization and maintaining wellness; girls were more confident in leadership and teamwork, relationship with the opposite sex, and avoiding drugs, excessive drinking, and smoking. This study is the first attempt to develop and validate a personal-social development self-efficacy measure for Chinese adolescents. Further research and applications of the PSD-SEI for the quality enhancement of personal-social development programmes in schools are discussed.  相似文献   

A variational energy approach for electromechanical analysis of thick piezoelectric beam     

LAU C.W.H. LIM C.W. LEUNG A.Y.T. 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2005,6(9):962-966

INTRODUCTION Piezoelectricity is an electromechanical phe- nomenon which couples elasticity and electricity through the existence of pressure induced electrical field or electric induced stress field. The piezoelectric materials are usually surface bonded in patches or fully embedded in the host structure, so that the structure becomes a laminated piezoelectric beam. Tzou and Gadre (1989), Lee (1990), Crawly and Lazarus (1991) developed laminated plate models incorporating the piezoelect…  相似文献

Routed through Canada: a roundtable discussion on Inter-Asia and transnational research     

Helen Hok-Sze Leung  Y-Dang Troeung  Robert Diaz  Lara Campbell 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2019,20(2):327-340

ABSTRACT

The series of reflections are based on a roundtable discussion amongst Canada-based scholars with research interest in transnational, postcolonial, migration and diaspora studies. Their reflections engage with key ideas from Inter-Asia Cultural Studies through the lens of their research practices and personal histories. Y-Dang Troeung revisits generational memories that are shaped by the “Cold War fraternity” of China, Cambodia, and North Korea through the perspective of Critical Refugee Studies and her personal transits between Asia and Canada. Robert Diaz traces shifts in migratory routes by attending to diasporic returns to the Philippines under complex conditions of globalization that shape and constrain mobility between North America and Asia. Lara Campbell examines overlooked moments of transpacific connections in Canadian women’s history to show how Inter-Asia encounters complicated the racial dynamics of the suffrage movement in early twentieth century British Columbia. The roundtable discussion demonstrates the potential for ongoing dialogues on Inter-Asia issues among scholars in Canada and beyond.  相似文献

Clay-Based Modeling in the Anatomist's Toolkit: A Systematic Review     

Keegan Curlewis  Brook Leung  Manesha Perera  Peter J. Bazira  Katherine A. Sanders 《Anatomical sciences education》2021,14(2):252-262

Anatomical education has suffered from reduced teaching time and poor availability of staff and resources over the past thirty years. Clay-based modeling (CBM) is an alternative technique for teaching anatomy that can improve student knowledge and experience. This systematic review aimed to summarize and appraise the quality of the literature describing the uses, advantages, and limitations of CBM compared to alternative methods of teaching human gross anatomy to students or qualified healthcare professionals. A systematic search of Embase, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was conducted, and the Medical Education Research Quality Instrument (MERSQI) was used to assess study quality. Out of the 829 studies identified, 12 papers met the inclusion criteria and were eligible for this review. The studies were of high quality, with a mean MERSQI score of 11.50/18. Clay-based modeling can be used to teach all gross anatomical regions, and 11 studies demonstrated a significant improvement in short-term knowledge gain in students who used CBM in comparison to other methods of learning anatomy. Eight studies that included subjective assessment showed that CBM is rated highly. However, some studies showed that students viewed CBM as juvenile and experienced difficulty making the models. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that CBM improves long-term knowledge. Clay-based modeling is an effective learning method for human gross anatomy and should be incorporated into the anatomists' toolkit. In the future, more randomized controlled studies with transparent study designs investigating the long-term impact of CBM are needed.  相似文献   

澳门免费幼儿教育政策民意调查报告     

李辉  刘懿乐  梁成安 《幼儿教育》2013,(11)

澳门特区政府自2007～2008学年开始实施15年免费教育,至今已经实施5年了.为了解免费幼儿教育政策对澳门幼儿教育界的实际影响以及园(校)长、教师和家长对这一政策的态度,我们进行了相关研究,发现:(1)园(校)长、教师及家长大多对免费幼儿教育政策表示满意,其中家长满意度最高.(2)免费幼儿教育政策为澳门幼教发展带来了许多积极影响,负面影响较小.(3)免费幼儿教育政策对家长择园自主性的影响很小,对幼儿园课程与发展自主性的影响也很小,但会削弱入网私立幼儿园的行政自主性,在一定程度上增加了园(校)长和教师的工作压力.(4)政策的实施虽然对幼儿园收费标准的影响比较轻微,但是切实减轻了低收入家长的育儿负担.园(校)长、教师和家长均提出了改进免费幼儿教育政策的建议.  相似文献   

Gratifications,chronic loneliness and internet use     

Louis Leung 《亚洲交流杂志》2013,23(1):96-119

This study examined how chronic loneliness is associated with gratifications‐sought and its effect on Internet use. Results from a telephone survey of 864 Internet users of 16‐years of age or older found that surveillance, affection, and social interaction were strongest instrumental use of the Internet followed by ritualized use such as entertainment, escape, and arousal. The proposition that the chronically lonely derive fewer gratifications from Internet use than do the situationally lonely and the nonlonely people was not supported. Moreover, no consistent patterns of ritualized or instrumental use of the Internet were found when comparing the chronically lonely and the nonlonely groups. However, the hypothesis that chronically lonely persons will report less active use of the Internet such as using e‐mail, surfing the WWW, reading online news, and playing online games than do the situationally lonely and the nonlonely persons received much support. Finally, regression results show that instrumental gratifications were more predictive of Internet activities for the nonlonely group than the lonely group. Implications of loneliness on Internet use in Chinese culture are discussed.  相似文献   

New assessment process in an introductory undergraduate physics laboratory: an exploration on collaborative learning     

Anthony C.K. Leung  Banafsheh Hashemi Pour  Dan Reynolds 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2017,42(2):169-181

A new team learning assessment process was designed and tested in a first-year university physics laboratory class. The assessment process was designed to provide a strong incentive for students to cooperate and feel responsible for each other’s learning and fostering a sense of collaboration rather than competition. Specifically, the new assessment process involves randomly dividing students into teams of four to work on a physics experiment and, at the end of the laboratory session, randomly selecting only one team member to carry out a post-laboratory session performance task. The results indicate that learning outcomes were not compromised in the new assessment process and that peer instruction was employed to a greater extent compared to our standard process. Student responses from a post-assessment survey revealed that 76% of students considered our new assessment process to be fair, whereas 57% of students felt our standard process was fair. The new assessment process used in this study led to a 75% reduction in grading duties – an advantage for large class management.  相似文献   

Our city of colours: queer/Asian publics in transpacific Vancouver     

Helen Hok-Sze Leung 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2017,18(4):482-497

This article examines the contested relation between discourses of ethnic subjectivity and queer critique of homophobia and transphobia in Vancouver, a transpacific city in Canada that is being touted as “the most Asian city outside of Asia.” I analyse the perceived association of Chinese communities with moral conservatism and the concomitant existence of a vibrant queer Asian cultural scene in the city as a discursive clash between two cultural publics. I examine the underlying dynamics of their antagonism as well as their potential for mutual engagement.  相似文献
