新一轮基础教育课程改革在初中已推行近二十年了,新课改的推行大大促进了我国素质教育的发展,但在效果上还未达到原来的预期。有些地区教师在上课时还没有完全依照课程标准,反而被中考牵着鼻子走,这有客观的社会因素,由中考的选拔性功能决定的。面对这种现实,保持中考和课程标准的一致性在推进新课改的进程中就显得格外重要。本研究利用SEC分析模式,研究了山东省7个中考物理试卷样本。在分析的过程中,本研究对课程标准认
饮用水安全是关系民生的重要问题,保障饮用水源安全,是改善民生和构建和谐社会的重要方面。目前南昌基本还属于单一供水水源城市,南昌主城区赣江两岸经济高速发展,沿江两岸相互交融紧密,跨江桥梁车流量和河道船舶日益增多,饮用水水源地突发水污染事故的风险也增大。为预防和应对突发水源地突发水污染事故,对赣江南昌段饮用水水源突发水污染事故开展模拟研究。本研究选用MIKE21模型,基于赣江(南昌段)自然,水文,气象
本文以2000-2016年间中国地级市高铁开通数据和中国地级市层面相关经济数据合成面板数据为样本,基于资源配置视角,采用DID方法,结合理论分析和实证研究,探讨了高铁建设对于地区产业结构转型升级的影响。理论分析方面,本文基于区域经济学的“经济辐射理论”与新经济地理学的“核心边缘理论”分析了高铁开通是如何影响地区产业结构并分析了其中的传导机制,在此基础上提出研究假设。实证研究方面,本文运用DID方法
在组织传播中,新媒体的传播形态以及意见领袖因素会影响到组织员工的行为效果以及组织形象。论文以上海交通大学新进员工为例,选取了上海交通大学一百多名新进员工作为实验受试者开展了相应的实验研究。将受试者按使用到的媒体形态及是否受意见领袖影响等标准分为六个实验组进行实验,以问卷形式测试员工完成任务的准确率来测量其行为效果和组织形象平均得分来测量对组织形象的影响。以所得到的统计结果作为基础数据,利用分析软件
兴趣是人们认识事物和获取知识的心理需要,并伴随着积极情感。研究者更多认同个人兴趣和情境兴趣的两种分类。由于不同的个体有不同的个人兴趣,体育教师难以兼顾每一位学生的个人兴趣来促进每位学生的运动参与。而体育教师可以通过掌控情境兴趣特点来激发学生的情境兴趣,因而情境兴趣具有很强的操作价值值和实际应用价值。本研究目的是:1)了解中学生气排球个人兴趣程度。2)了解单元学习过程中情境兴趣的总体变化趋势。3)探
“挪用”是从20世纪延续至今的一种为艺术家们常用的艺术创作手段。简而言之,挪用的概念是指艺术家利用现有的图形符号、图像资源等再来进行二次艺术创作。在后现代主义发展背景下,挪用作为一种艺术创作方式具有普遍化、大众化的特点,可以应用于不同意义的情境下。特别是在互联网媒体的背景下,当代艺术在其发展道路上所作出的一种客观必然选择。“挪用”在当代艺术中,摒弃了现代主义的语义形式,充分发挥其解构、隐喻、反讽等
网络推手又称网络维客、网络营销策划师,是指懂得网络推广,并懂得运用网络将网络平民、网络事件推广于大众的人。网络推手是存在于网络空间的重要现象,它参与了公共领域的重构,由此也引发出值得重视的问题。本研究试图回答以下问题:在BBS论坛、微博平台中主帖讨论是公共类型问题为主还是私人问题为主?网民参与论坛主帖的讨论情况如何?网民参与主帖讨论是以“围观”为主还是以“回帖讨论”为主?网民参与讨论过程中是以政治
拔尖人才的质量和数量关系到国家实力的发展,近年来,世界各国都十分重视高等教育领域拔尖人才的培养。荣誉项目堪称美国高校本科生拔尖人才培养教育的典型模式,该项目自20世纪20年代被“美国荣誉教育之父”弗兰克·艾德洛特引入美国,并在斯沃斯莫尔学院进行实验改革且产生了重要影响。不可否认,斯沃斯莫尔学院荣誉项目为全美荣誉教育的发展奠定了良好的基础,发挥了卓越的先导性作用。由此,美国荣誉教育才能不断发展完善,
随着我国经济的快速发展,城市化的进程进入高潮,前进的步伐已经逐步从一线大城市转向县域、小城镇,城市与城市、城市与农村的联系与交流日渐密切,区域化、一体化发展成为大趋势,如何统筹好城乡经济发展、推动城乡共同进步成为当今时代的主旋律。经济要发展,交通需先行。在当前这种背景下,城乡客运一体化发展这一举措应运而生。城乡客运一体化发展是关系到广大人民群众的公益性事业,是重要的民生保障工程,是各级地方政府发展
