A Systematic Review of Observational Studies, Demonstrating Smoking among School Going Adolescents

Objective: To characterize the methods of design and analysis currently adopted in survey research of school-based observational studies for smoking, and to identify the common pitfalls made by researchers. Methods: The systematic review was conducted in 2009 and consisted of observational studies in school settings published between January 2005 and January 2009. Smoking status was the main outcome of interest. Following Cochrane style, five steps were followed: setting selection criteria for studies and conducting a literature search;review of abstracts;review of complete articles;data extraction and quality assessment of included studies;and, finally, synthesis of studies. Results: Of the 292 abstracts retrieved, 45 (15.4%) articles were selected for the final review. Inconsistencies were found in the definition of smoking behaviour which impeded generalisability. Individual-level factors had importance, but environmental level factors were also important in studying the aetiology of smoking. Results showed that studies inappropriately reported sample size estimation and important confounding factors. Hierarchical linear modelling, random effects modelling and structural equation modelling were employed in comparatively few studies. Conclusions: There were concerns regarding data analysis of complex surveys. Fifty five percent of reviewed studies ignored environmental effects which may have produced unreliable inferences. Multi-level analysis assisted in understanding school-level effects.

Prevalence of Contagious Diseases of School Going Children in Bangladesh

Children are becoming increasingly vulnerable to contagious disease around the world. It also leads to chronic health problems. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of contagious diseases in children of 5 - 12 years from five government primary schools (class II to V) in Tangail City, Bangladesh using multistage sampling method. Data were collected using a carry home questionnaire and diseases screening examination was done in the school. Prevalence of common contagious diseases was calculated. A total of 84 students were screened to have contagious diseases by clinical examination, giving a prevalence rate of 8.76% from 958 participated school children. The prevalence of contagious disease among the affected children in the study was found 30.95% for scabies, while 20.24% for influenza and 7.14%, 9.52%, 15.48%, 5.95%, & 10.71% for typhoid, chicken pox, measles, pneumonia, and whooping cough, respectively. Anthropometric measurements were recorded which indicated that 48.8% of children were well-nourished and 21.4%, 17.9%, & 11.9% of children were underweight, stunted, and wasted, respectively. However, these data are extremely important to define the problem and to design proper intervention strategies.

我国城市中小学生家长教育焦虑生成与维持机制的质性研究

采用程序化扎根理论的策略分析了20位城市中小学生家长的访谈资料,构建了我国城市中小学生家长教育焦虑生成与维持的机制模型。研究表明教育焦虑的产生是一个动态过程,影响我国城市中小学生家长教育焦虑的因素包括认知因素(期望评估与教育效能感)、环境因素(教育体制、社会环境、同辈影响、学校环境、家庭氛围)、历时因素(个人经历与社会变迁)与行为反馈因素(积极反馈与消极反馈)。其中认知、环境与行为反馈因素对家长教育焦虑有直接影响,环境、历时与行为反馈因素会通过影响家长个体的认知因素影响其焦虑程度,而认知因素又调节了环境和行为反馈因素对教育焦虑的影响。因此,建议从改变家长认知、创设良好教育氛围和制度环境等方面缓解家长过高的教育焦虑情绪。

医学技术类本科生专业分流选择成因的质性研究——以天津医科大学为例

目的明晰独立医学院校医学技术类专业本科生大类招生专业分流的选择成因,以期为高校医学技术类专业分流政策提供建议。方法选取当前就读于天津医科大学医学技术学院并参与过专业分流的本科生20名进行半结构化访谈,采用Colaizzi七步分析法,探究其在专业分流时选择专业的原因。结果参与访谈的本科生选择现就读专业的因素包括个人因素、学科因素、就业因素、他人因素。结论专业分流对学生的个人发展、素质提升和能力培养方面起到了重要作用,现行专业分流政策存在学生在专业分流时具有一定盲目性、分流前职业规划课程内容不足、专业分流缺乏灵活性、招生比例不合理等问题。针对此类问题,学校应当为参与专业分流的学生丰富职业规划课程;专业分流后学校也可以给予学生二次选择专业的机会;学校还需要对医学技术类专业的学院规模与招生比例等方面进行统筹规划。

日本近代学校体育的历史流变——评《日本近代学校体育研究(1868—1936年)》

《日本近代学校体育研究(1868—1936年)》一书,结合日本近代由弱到强进而走向侵略扩张的社会背景,系统梳理和深入剖析这一历史时期学校体育的流变历程、特征、作用、历史地位及影响因素,反思其学校体育的军国主义化。研究认为:日本近代学校体育并非单纯的体育教育活动,它是近代教育的重要构项,是日本推进文明开化的场域之一,在改善国民体质方面发挥了重要作用。但随着军国主义的蔓延,学校体育逐渐与军事捆绑,逐步沦为扩军备战的工具,既违背其自身的发展规律,也对学生身心健康造成严重伤害。学校体育只有回归教育本质,才能得到健康持续的发展,真正实现促进学生全面发展的目的。

中小学教研培训“被教研”的表征、归因与破解之道

教研培训是提升中小学教师教研能力、促进其专业发展、保障教学质量的重要手段。但是目前却呈现出明显的“被教研”迹象,具体表现为教研培训目标与手段的置换、教研培训投入与产出的不均衡、教研培训内容和方式的雷同等。造成“被教研”的原因主要在于教研培训的改革滞后于教师专业发展需要、教师教研培训的被动参与,以及教研培训的供给过度。中小学教研培训要克服“被教研”的困境,提升实效性,首先要以能力为旨归,提高教研培训活动与教师能力需求的契合度;其次要以问题导向为抓手,让教研培训贴近教师的教学生活;最后还要以内生动力为根本,激发教师在教研培训中成长的内驱力。
