Reflecting on Maltese school‐based counselling practices: An autoethnographic collaborative writing project

Maltese counsellors working in schools are, at times, just making ends meet due to lack of human resources and work schedules. ‘Why do our students/children have to repeat the same story to so many professionals?’ teachers/parents angrily query. This autoethnographic study voices our professional experiences as authors and participants. This empowers us to be advocates for our young clients. Collaborative autoethnography (CAE) methodology best fits our research question as we ‘seek to discover and systemically analyze (graphy) personal experience (auto)…understand cultural experience (ethno)’ (Ellis, Adams, & Brochner, 2011, p. 273). Our writing and reflections conclude that best practices include counsellors who work, at least, in pairs within transdisciplinary teams at one school for cycles of five years, with clarity of roles across professionals.     

自主支持、基本心理需要满足对一年级职高生内外化问题的影响机制

对1137名一年级职高生实施问卷调查,探讨感知教师和父母自主支持、基本心理需要满足与内外化问题的关系。结果表明：（1）一年级职高生在抑郁问题上女生更严重,在外化问题上男生更严重;（2）教师、父母自主支持与基本心理需要满足呈显著正相关,教师、父母自主支持、基本心理需要满足与一年级职高生内外化问题呈显著负相关;（3）一年级职高生基本心理需要满足在教师、父母自主支持与内化问题的关系中起完全中介作用,在教师、父母自主支持与外化问题的关系中起部分中介作用;（4）教师自主支持对一年级职高生外化问题的影响受父母自主支持的调节作用,对于感知父母自主支持较高的学生,教师自主支持对外化问题的影响呈较为明显的下降趋势。     

Parental Choice in Israel's Educational System: Theory vs. Praxis

In the last two decades the Israeli educational system has undergone major changes which have transformed it from a state-controlled, overly bureaucratic and almost fully state-financed system into a decentralized, partly locally controlled and increasingly privately financed system. Advocates of this transformation of the educational system appeal to the ideal of parental choice. They argue that the implementation of parental choice programs in education shows more respect to the children and their unique talents, take their self-realization seriously and promotes equal opportunities in education. The ideal of parental choice is also upheld in relation to value of cultural pluralism. Supporters of educational autonomy advocate the restructuring of schools in a way allowing them to develop a unique climate and curriculum consistent with respective communities and parents' preferences. The aim of this paper is to assess critically the changes that Israeli educational system has undergone against the background of the principle of equal educational opportunities. The main claim of the paper is that these changes undermine this principle. It will be argued that these changes actually cater mainly to the educational interests of middle and upper middle classes in Israeli society.     

青春期情感自主性与学业成绩相关研究

本研究采用斯腾伯格和斯尔弗伯格编制的情感自主性量表 (EmotionalAutonomyScale)研究青春期情感自主性与学业成绩之间的关系。研究结果表明 :1.青春期表现出较为明显的情感自主性 ;2 .情感自主性对学业成绩的影响呈显著性水平 ;3.青春期情感自主性与学业成绩呈现相关关系。父母形象的非理想化与学业成绩成正相关 ,即父母的非理想化程度越高 ,学业成绩越差 ;而个体化与学业成绩成负相关 ,即个体化程度越高 ,学业成绩越差。 4 .青春期情感自主性存在明显的性别差异 ,女生的得分明显高于男生     

高中生选科的自我-他人决策差异：预期内疚的作用

本研究首次探讨高中生选科的自我-他人决策差异。结果发现：（1）当科目难度与兴趣存在冲突时,个体倾向于为自己选择低难度低兴趣科目,而为他人选择高难度高兴趣科目;（2）自我-他人决策差异存在程度效应：为近的社会距离他人（朋友）选科时自我-他人决策差异缩小;（3）预期内疚在高中生选科的自我-他人决策差异中起中介作用：相较于为自己选科,为陌生人选择低难度低兴趣科目诱发更高的预期内疚,从而降低其为陌生人选择低难度低兴趣科目的偏好。这些发现拓展了自我-他人决策差异的研究范畴,对家长、学校和教育咨询公司的选科指导具有一定的参考价值。     

课堂公平对高中生学习投入的影响及其机制：链式中介模型

如何提高高中生的学习投入一直是学者们探讨的极具现实意义的研究课题。然而,以往鲜有从课堂公平的视角进行的探索。本研究从社会交换理论出发,以621名高中生为被试,探讨课堂公平对高中生学习投入的影响,以及师生交换关系和学习自我效能感在二者关系中的链式中介机制。发现：（1）课堂公平与师生交换关系、学习自我效能感及学习投入两两之间均呈显著正相关;（2）课堂公平不仅能直接正向预测高中生的学习投入,而且还能够通过师生交换关系的单独中介作用、学习自我效能感的单独中介作用及二者的链式中介作用间接影响学习投入。研究结果揭示了课堂公平对高中生学习投入影响的内部心理机制,为通过营造课堂公平而改进师生交换关系与学习自我效能感及更好地提升高中生学习投入的水平提供了科学参考。     

中学生身体自我满意度与自我价值感的相关研究

对228名中学生进行身体自我和自我价值感量表的测试结果表明：整体上中学生身体自我满意度与其自我价值感有显著的相关;各维度除身体的负面特征外,与自我价值感得分均有极显著的正相关,各自的重要性分别是运动特征、相貌、性特征和身材;高、低自我价值感的中学生的身体自我满意度有极显著差异,身体满意度越高则学生的自我价值感也越高。讨论主要分析了中国文化背景下的特异性,身体自我对自我价值感影响的作用机制及其研究前景。     

友伴网络结构与中学生的吸烟行为

运用社会网络理论和分析技术考察友伴网络结构与中学生吸烟行为的关系。被试选自北京两所中学1091名初一至高三学生,要求他们最多提名10名友伴,并报告自己及其友伴的吸烟行为。然后,使用NEGOPY社会网络分析软件对中学生的友伴网络结构进行分析。研究结果表明,中学生的友伴网络结构存在团体成员、团体联系者和孤立者三种类型,团体成员所占比例超过团体联系者和孤立者,但随年级升高,团体成员有下降趋势。此外,团体成员的吸烟率显著低于孤立者和团体联系者,即使排除性别、年龄和学校类型的影响后,友伴网络结构与中学生的吸烟行为仍然有非常明显的关系。
