Parental Involvement in Primary School Education: its Relationship with Children’s Academic Performance and Psychosocial Competence through Engaging Children with School

The benefits of parental involvement in children’s education have been well established but increasing evidence suggests that overparenting may have adverse effects on children. The question of whether excessive parental involvement hinders children’s academic and psychosocial development warrants further investigations. This study examined the associations of parental educational involvement at home and in school with academic performance and psychological health of 507 Chinese Grade 3 schoolchildren in Hong Kong. Parents reported on their level of involvement in children’s schooling and their children’s psychosocial issues. Children were surveyed to determine their school engagement, and their Chinese language and mathematics attainment was assessed. We also explored the underlying mechanism by testing children’s engagement with school as a mediator of the relationships. Our results showed that home-based parental educational involvement was positively associated with children’s language competence and psychosocial wellbeing, and the associations were linked through engaging children with school. However, the benefits reached a plateau at higher level of parental involvement in children’s learning at home. School-based parental involvement had an indirect effect on children’s prosocial behavior through school engagement. These findings highlight the significance of optimal level of parental involvement in children’s education at home for children’s development.     

College Cheating Thirty Years Later: The Role of Academic Entitlement

This research reports on a thirty-year follow-up study of academic dishonesty, often referred to as college cheating. The present study examines the role of academic entitlement as a predictor of college cheating. A sense of entitlement is regarded as a primary characteristic of today’s millennial students, those born between 1980 and 2000. However, previous research has never investigated the role of academic entitlement on college cheating. Instead, previous research has mostly favored neutralization as a theoretical explanation for academic dishonesty. The results indicate that, even though reports of college cheating have decreased over time, academic entitlement is a significant predictor of cheating in college.     

Sequence effects of the involuntary and the voluntary components of symbolic cueing

The orienting of attention has been found to be influenced by the previous cueing status in a spatial-cueing paradigm. The explanation for this sequence effect remains uncertain. This study separated the involuntary and the voluntary components of arrow cueing by manipulating the predicted target locations. For example, a left arrow cue may have indicated that the target was more likely to appear at the up location. Therefore, three trial types were repeated or switched between trials: cued (targets appeared along the direction of the arrows), predicted (targets appeared at the locations predicted by the arrows), and unrelated (targets appeared at the other two locations, neither cued nor predicted). RTs of cued trials were found to be significantly facilitated after a previous cued trial; however, the same effect was not observed for predicted trials. The results suggest that significant sequence effects are induced only in the involuntary component of arrow cueing. The findings support the feature-integration hypothesis for the sequence effect of symbolic cueing.

     

新时代农村公共卫生政策的量化分析研究

基于“供给−需求−环境”分析模型,对中国2013年～2022年出台的242份农村公共卫生政策文件进行量化分析后发现,地区差异明显,东部、中部地区较东北部、西部地区的相关政策更多;从模型看制定供给端政策最多,需求端次之,环境端最少。从公共伦理学视角进行原因分析,提出农村公共卫生政策的公平正义有待提高、农村居民的公共利益应得到更充分维护、政策制定要符合中国式现代化可持续发展要求等政策建议,以不断完善我国农村公共卫生政策、推进农村公共卫生事业发展。

     

生命健康视野下的叙事闭锁

从弗里曼的叙事闭锁理论出发,将“叙事闭锁”重新定义为“将自己禁锢在停滞的故事空间里,无法吸纳推动叙事进程向前发展的生命状态”,并将其进一步分为职业型、创伤型、疑虑型和老年型四种类型。叙事闭锁不仅在老年人群中高发,在其他年龄阶段人群中也不少见,以至于人生故事提前进入结束状态或者处于无法更新的停滞状态。对叙事闭锁者开展叙事介入可以帮助他们提升叙事素养,重启再次体验和阐释人生的按钮,赋予他们由内而外突破闭锁的能量。当人处于一种叙事稳定性和叙事开放性的平衡状态之中时,主体经历的就是一种健康和谐的生命进程。     

宗教与发展的悖论--论伊斯兰与金融全球化的理论文化与现实的冲突

伊斯兰银行和金融业是伊斯兰原则与世俗事物相结合的产物,伊斯兰教义提出的利息禁令、反对偶像崇拜、讲求伦理、提倡福利精神以及伊斯兰国家客观条件等因素所限使伊斯兰银行和金融业不能完全融入全球化之中,在理论、文化和实践中有许多因素与全球化相悖。在发展与宗教的两难之间,伊斯兰必须做到理论上有创新、文化上有交流、实践中有开放的金融体系。

计算机在控制心理学实验过程中,可能引入各种潜在的计时误差,特别在短时呈现各种实验刺激时,有些误差是不应忽略的。本文重点分析屏幕刷新率对实验设计的限制及可能产生的计时误差和解决方法。     

关于概念控制掌握的实验研究

本研究通过等组实验,考察了在班级授课的情况下,概念控制掌握的教学效果。研究表明,概念的控制掌握能提高学生掌握概念的水平,其教学效果是稳定的。通过这种方法教学使学生形成的合理动作能够迁移到不同领域的新概念的学习中去,从而加快学习速度,提高质量。而且,概念的控制掌握对于提高中下线学生的成绩效果更好。研究者认为,概念的控制掌握的优越性在于它体现了概念与动作相统一的原则,从而提高了教学工作的自觉性和教学效果。本研究所得结果可供有关研究和教学工作者参考。
