Perceived professional learning communities and attitudes towards teaching science among kindergarten teachers
Science education is essential for holistic early childhood development and is mandated in many kindergarten curricula; it typically involves encouraging children to observe nature and fostering their scientific curiosity. Using Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model, this study explored if professional learning communities in science education (PLC-SE) function as work resources shaping kindergarten teachers’ attitudes toward teaching science (ATTS)…
Do PhD students’ research styles predict their perceived competencies
Most empirical studies on PhD students’ competencies lack a conceptual framework, and no study has examined a comprehensive list of competencies necessary for both an academic and a non-academic career. The study pioneered the operationalization of (Shin’s Higher Education Forum, 16 , 27–43, 2019) conceptualization of the competencies that novice academics and knowledge professionals need to possess. Furthermore, the present study investigated ho…
Social Inequality in Early Childhood Development in China
Despite China's substantial economic advancements, social inequalities persist, particularly in early childhood development, where disparities in access to resources and opportunities continue to shape developmental outcomes. This review advances a structure–mechanism–policy analytical framework grounded in intersectionality and ecological systems theory to synthesize current research on inequality in early childhood development in China. It high…

Thinking Styles and University Self-Efficacy Among Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and Hearing Students
This study explores how students' thinking styles are related to their university self-efficacy, by administering the Thinking Styles Inventory-Revised II and the University Self-Efficacy Scale to 366 deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) and 467 hearing university students in mainland China. Results showed that, among all participants, those with Type I styles (i.e., more creativity-generating, less structured, and cognitively more complex) had higher l…

Effects of Verb’s Trait of Continuance and Adverb of Instantaneous Time about Representation of Events of Temporal Shifts in Chinese Text Readin
摘要: 为考察语篇阅读中, 汉语动词的延续性特征以及瞬时时间副词对时间转换事件表征的影响, 采用探测-判断的语篇实时阅读技术分别进行了两个实验。实验1的结果表明, 当描述转换前事件的动词是延续性动词时, 短时转换句与瞬时转换句的阅读时间无显著差异; 而当描述转换前事件的动词是短暂性动词时, 短时转换句的阅读时间明显长于瞬时转换句的阅读时间。实验2的结果表明, 当不在时间转换句前添加瞬时时间副词时, 长时与短时转换句前探测词的再认时间存在显著差异; 而当在时间转换句前添加瞬时时间副词时, 长时与短时转换句前探测词的再认时间无显著差异。两个实验结果分别说明, 动词的延续性特征和时间转换短句的结合影响了时间转换事件的表征, 在长时转换句的前面添加瞬时时间副词缩短了长时转换事件的表征时间
The Functions of Goal State and Temporal Information on Situation Model Processing
摘要: 采用移动窗口和记录探测句阅读时间的实时阅读技术, 对情境模型中目标状态与时间信息的关系进行了探索。运用重复测量的实验设计进行了三个实验, 实验发现(1)在顺序发生的事件结构中, 未达成目标作为持续追踪的焦点, 使得时间转换增大的条件下, 也不会对信息的整合产生影响; 而对时间距离的表征不仅起到了提高速度的作用, 而且也没有产生时间距离的远近效应。(2)同样是在顺序语篇中, 无目标和目标达成条件下, 随着时间转换的增大, 则出现了时间转换的大小效应, 也出现了时间距离的远近效应。(3)在回溯事件的建构中, 读者把回溯事件表征为时间距离的背景信息, 目标促进了信息的整合
Mental Health and Thinking Styles in Sternberg's Theory
The relationship between thinking styles, as defined in Sternberg's theory of mental self-government, and mental health was investigated. 583 university students (362 women, 221 men; M age = 21.4 yr., SD = 0.9) in Guangzhou, P. R. China, were invited to fill out the Thinking Styles Inventory-Revised and the Symptom Checklist-90 on a voluntary basis. Results indicated that scores on six of Sternberg's 13 thinking styles were significantly correlat…
Styles of Thinking as a Basis of Differentiated Instruction
We consider how to differentiate instruction using a theory of thinking styles as a basis for differentiation. The article opens with a consideration of why styles are important. Then it considers some general characteristics of styles, presents the theory of mental self-government, considers issues of measurement, and presents data supporting the theory. Next, it discusses application of the theory in the classroom. Finally, it draws conclusions
Contributions of Thinking Styles to Vocational Purpose beyond Self-Rated Abilities
The present study predicted vocational purpose from thinking styles, a construct at the interface of intelligence and personality. 233 students majoring in history and computer science from a large research-oriented university in the People's Republic of China completed the Thinking Styles Inventory and the Iowa Vocational Purpose Inventory. The participants also rated their own analytical, creative, and practical abilities. In general, results i…

Are Parents' and Children's Thinking Styles Related
This study extends the investigation of the validity of Sternberg's theory of mental self-government to mainland Chinese secondary school students and their parents. The assumption of a 'socialization effect' underlying the theory was subjected to broader investigation. 232 students and their parents responded to a range of demographic questions and to the Thinking Styles Inventory which is based on Sternberg's theory. The two major findings are …
Validity of the Learning Process Questionnaire with Students of Lower Academic Attainment
The Learning Process Questionnaire was administered to 692 secondary school students (308 boys, 380 girls, and 4 unspecified) in the Philippines. The ages of the participants ranged from 14 to 22 years, with an average of 15 yr. An exploratory factor-analysis procedure was conducted for the entire sample, for the lower achievers (n = 333), and for higher achievers (n = 359). The factor structure of the Learning Process Questionnaire was uninterpr…
Cognitive Development of Students in China and the Usa
Cognitive Development of Students in China and the USA
“Universality” has been claimed as one of the major characteristics for theories of cognitive development. Based in part on the work of Piaget and Kohl-berg, Perry developed a cognitive scheme of phases of intellectual development along which students in the USA move during their college years. An inventory designed to assess the Perry's stages of cognitive development of Chinese students was constructed, modeled after several American inventorie…
Assessing Thinking Styles in the Theory of Mental Self-Government
The purpose of this study was to examine the appropriateness in a non-Western context of the Thinking Styles Inventory and Sternberg's underlying theory of mental self-government. The way to achieve this goal was through analyzing data collected from 88 Hong Kong postsecondary students. The results indicated that the scales were reasonably reliable, and factor analysis of the scales was fairly encouraging. The discrepancy found in the number of d…
