Bridging the gap: online materials to equip graduate entrants to a law degree with essential subject knowledge and skills

Graduate entrants to law degrees can be disadvantaged by being exempted from Level 4 modules. Many lack the law-specific knowledge and skills that they would have gained from their first-year studies, making it more difficult for them to achieve mastery of higher-level modules. This poses risks to their retention and progression. The Open University Law School sought to bridge this gap by providing optional online “catch-up” materials, including 12 sessions of knowledge-based learning. Each session was followed by a brief Moodle poll so that we could ascertain that session’s fitness for purpose, and which students had studied it. The sessions were highly rated by respondents, and most had been studied in the target time of around 15 minutes. Studying the sessions was statistically associated with academic success. This finding does not prove that the sessions contribute towards student's attaining higher grades, but it is encouraging. Only a small percentage of students studied any sessions, and most of those did not study all of them. Since the sessions met their intended purpose for those who studied them, the Law School has now decided on a range of initiatives designed to increase the number of LLB students who study most of them.     

论高等学校实施性别教育的价值取向与可能性

以建构高等学校德育和专业人才综合素质培养的社会性别向度、彰显性别理论学术研究、规范高等学校性别知识体系建设、将性别教育纳入高师教育主流体系、加强对高等学校实施性别教育的教育行政管理为主要目标;以建构社会性别发展性高等学校德育模式、在高等学校人才培养方案中建构社会性别理论通识教育、在教师教育中实施社会性别意识教育为主要措施,发挥高校教育在促进性别平等发展中的积极作用,将是促进高校教育公平和消除性别歧视的有益探索。

论科学发展观的学习与实践

学习实践科学发展观是整个胡锦涛学习思想的重要内容,要充分认识科学发展观的范式意义,做好学习调研、分析检查、整改落实的工作。明确学习调研是学习实践科学发展观的前提,分析检查是学习实践科学发展观的难点,整改落实是学习实践科学发展观的关键,学习活动与实践活动相结合,为解决现实问题提供理论指导,在理论与实践的结合中实现社会的全面协调可持续发展,使人民群众得到实惠。     

公安院校体改生学习价值观对学习投入的影响研究

为考察公安院校体改生学习价值观对学习投入的影响效果,采用《大学生学习价值观量表》和《大学生学习投入量表》对某公安院校2011级210名体改生进行了测量。结果表明:学习价值观及其附属维度与学习投入及其附属维度存在显著的正相关;个人发展、功利性和责任性是学习活力和学习奉献的有效预测变量;个人发展和责任性则是学习专注的有效预测变量。可见,学习价值观与学习投入关系密切,改善学习价值观水平有助于提高学习投入水平。     

基于LSTM-CNN的中文短文本分类模型

针对中文语言本身特点,以及传统文本分类方法不能有效应对短文本分类的问题,本文构建了基于LSTM-CNN的中文短文本分类模型。该模型使用word2vec对待分类文本进行预处理,以获得字词级别的向量;再将词向量送入LSTM层提取语义特征,并通过卷积层提取局部特征;在利用最大池化的方法获得特征向量后,将其放入softmax分类器以得到分类的最终结果。与现有的SVM、KNN、CapsNet和Labeled-LDA的实验结果相比,该分类模型能够有效提高中文短文本分类的准确率。     

文明自信的中国理念及其世界历史意义——论习近平关于文明交流互鉴的理念

Linking parental incarceration and family dynamics associated with intergenerational transmission: A life‐course perspective*

Children experiencing parental incarceration face numerous additional disadvantages, but researchers have often relied on these other co‐occurring factors primarily as controls. In this article, we focus on the intimate links between crime and incarceration, as well as on the broader family context within which parental incarceration often unfolds. Thus, parents’ drug use and criminal behavior that precedes and may follow incarceration periods may be ongoing stressors that directly affect child well‐being. We also use our analyses to foreground mechanisms associated with social learning theories, including observations and communications that increase the child's risk for criminal involvement and other problem outcomes. These related family experiences often channel the child's own developing network ties (peers, romantic partners) that then serve as proximal influences. We explore these processes by drawing on qualitative and quantitative data from a study of the lives of a sample of respondents followed from adolescence to young adulthood, as well as on records searches of parents’ incarceration histories. Through our analyses, we find evidence that 1) some effects attributed to parental incarceration likely connect to unmeasured features of the broader family context, and b) together parental incarceration and the broader climate often constitute a tightly coupled package of family‐related risks linked to intergenerational continuities in criminal behavior and other forms of social disadvantage.
