Creativity development in preschoolers: The effects of children’s museum visits and other education environment factors     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2020

As one of the potential contextual factors for creativity development, children’s museum has been introduced to China from the western world in recent years, with the aim to offer a new informal educational environment to enhance children’s creativity. Based on experimental data for two groups of 4-year-old preschoolers (218 for the family mode and 202 for the preschool mode) from Beijing with an appropriately one-year long intervention (September 2017 to July 2018), this study examines the effect of regular visits to a children’s museum and other education environmental factors on young children’s creativity measured by Torrance’s Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement (TCAM) test. Results indicate that in terms of family visit, compared to the control group, the intervention that offers 18 times free tickets to visit a children’s museum significantly improved the experiment group’s originality (a sub-measure of creativity) by an additional 34.51 %. A beneficial effect of this intervention was also found in improving children’s fluency from the sample of preschool group visit (46.80 %). In addition, family education environment factors such as public preschool attendance, frequency of visits to science museums, and the degree of parents’ latitude were also found to positively affect creativity. Children’s personal features such as sex and geographic location of the family are also found to be related with children’s creativity.  相似文献   

Understanding the majority opinion formation process in online environments: An exploratory approach to Facebook     

Sangwon Lee  Taehyun Ha  Daeho Lee  Jang Hyun Kim 《Information processing & management》2018,54(6):1115-1128

Majority opinions are often observed in the process of social interaction in online communities, but few studies have addressed this issue with empirical data. To identify an appropriate theoretical lens for explaining majority opinions in online environments, this study investigates the skewness statistic, which indicates how many “Likes” are skewed to major comments on a Facebook post; 3489 posts are gathered from the New York Times Facebook page for 100 days. Results show that time is not an influential factor for skewness increase, but the number of comments has a logarithmic relation to skewness increase. Regression models and Chow tests show that this relationship differs depending on topic contents, but majority opinions are significant in overall. These results suggest that the bandwagon effect due to social affordance can be a suitable mechanism for explaining majority opinion formation in an online environment and that majority opinions in online communities can be misperceived due to overestimation.  相似文献

Evaluating the evidence base for evidence-based instructional practices in chemistry through meta-analysis     

Md Tawabur Rahman  Scott E. Lewis 《科学教学研究杂志》2020,57(5):765-793

Investigating the effectiveness of instructional practices provides an evidence base to inform instructional decisions. Synthesizing research studies on instructional effectiveness provides an estimate of the generalizability of effectiveness across settings, along with an exploration of factors that may moderate the impact, which cannot be achieved within individual studies. This study sought to provide a synthesis of evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) particular to chemistry through meta-analysis. Ninety-nine studies were analyzed comprising a broader view of chemistry specific studies than past meta-analyses. The results showed that EBIPs feature a demonstrably positive impact on students' academic performance in chemistry, although assessment topic coverage and setting size emerged as relevant moderators of impact and prevented making definitive conclusions of the relative impact of each EBIP. In examining publication bias, an asymmetric distribution of studies based on standard error (SE) and effect size was found, indicative of potential publication bias. To explore the potential impact of bias, the trim and fill method was employed resulting in a range for the overall weighted effect size from 0.29 to 0.62. The study concludes that evidence-based instructional practices have demonstrated effectiveness even in consideration of potential publication bias, as the range of effect sizes remains positive, but highlights the continued need to publish null findings in the research literature.  相似文献   

Digital Module 16: Longitudinal Data Analysis     

Jeffrey R. Harring  Tessa L. Johnson 《Educational Measurement》2020,39(3):137-138

In this digital ITEMS module, Dr. Jeffrey Harring and Ms. Tessa Johnson introduce the linear mixed effects (LME) model as a flexible general framework for simultaneously modeling continuous repeated measures data with a scientifically defensible function that adequately summarizes both individual change as well as the average response. The module begins with a nontechnical overview of longitudinal data analyses drawing distinctions with cross-sectional analyses in terms of research questions to be addressed. Nuances of longitudinal designs, timing of measurements, and the real possibility of missing data are then discussed. The three interconnected components of the LME model—(1) a model for individual and mean response profiles, (2) a model to characterize the covariation among the time-specific residuals, and (3) a set of models that summarize the extent that individual coefficients vary—are discussed in the context of the set of activities comprising an analysis. Finally, they demonstrate how to estimate the linear mixed effects model within an open-source environment (R). The digital module contains sample R code, diagnostic quiz questions, hands-on activities in R, curated resources, and a glossary.  相似文献   

上海市公共体育设施建设效应评价研究          下载免费PDF全文

李陈 《体育科研》2019,(2):21-32

上海市公共体育设施建设的主要矛盾是市民日益增长的多元化体育需求和公共体育设施建设不平衡、不充分发展之间的矛盾。作为迈向卓越的全球城市，上海正为向市民提供多元化需求的公共体育设施而努力。本文根据“30分钟体育生活圈”的要求，对上海市公共体育设施建设效应进行研判，得出：（1）上海市公共体育设施布局呈现等级性，空间上呈现“中心-外围”特征，形成了“市-区-街道”三级空间尺度的公共体育设施空间布局。（2）上海市公共体育设施空间布局与人口密度分布呈正相关关系。健身点密度、市民球场、市民健身房、市民健身步道与人口密度分布呈现较强的正相关关系；农民健身工程与人口密度分布呈现较强的负相关关系。（3）上海市公共体育设施密度区域差异显著。公共体育设施建设正处于数量增加向质量提升的过渡阶段，正建设与卓越的全球城市和社会主义国际化大都市相匹配的公共体育设施与配套服务。（4）上海市公共体育设施建设总体评价较好，但存在难以满足多元化需求等问题。调查显示，居民对上海市公共体育设施建设的总体评价较好，满意度评价较高，但未满足个性化、多元化需求，在软件环境建设上仍有很大提升空间。  相似文献   

外尔半金属中的手征涡旋效应     

吉轩廷  朱振刚 《中国科学院大学学报》2019,36(5):598-604

实验表明，外尔半金属中不仅存在手征反常，也存在引力反常。引力反常会导致手征涡旋效应。因此，在外尔半金属中研究手征涡旋效应是必要的。作为石墨烯的三维类似物，外尔半金属也有可能出现强耦合。基于此，通过规范/引力对偶的方法研究强耦合下外尔半金属中的手征涡旋效应。在只考虑引力反常引起的手征涡旋效应的情形下，得到如下结论：1）手征涡旋效应可以由引力反常引起，在具有手征费米子的外尔半金属中存在，且与耦合强度成正比；2）手征涡旋效应与温度平方成正比。  相似文献

[目的/意义]研究时间因素对专利被引频次的影响,可以减少时间因素对技术评价活动的制约,提高评价的准确性和可信度。[方法/过程]采集1975-2017年的美国专利数据,开展基于固定效应法的专利被引频次的修正研究。将专利按照不同公开年份和不同技术领域分组,选定组内均值和6个TOP分位数为被引频次基准,统计当前时间点的被引频次基准线及基准线的历史时序变化情况。建立神经网络模型,拟合基准线的时序变化规律,并预测未来统计时间点的基准线。[结果/结论]专利公开年份和统计年份的时间差异,使得专利被引频次无法直接进行比较。本文建立了基于不同技术领域、不同公开年份和不同统计年份的专利被引频次基准线,为专利评估提供参考。  相似文献
