這項研究的目的旨在探討香港15歲學生在科學素養上的性別差異及這些差異如何影響男女生在選擇以科學作為升學及職業的動機。 / 本研究的數據取自2006年在本港舉行的香港學生能力國際評估計劃(Programme for International Student Assessment)。該計劃的4645學生樣本取自146所學校，包括：官立、資助及私立學校，以兩階段分層隨機抽樣的方法選取。 / 學生能力國際評估計劃如其他大型國際評估一樣，其評估框架採用多維試題架構。本研究採用配合該試題架構及樣本結構的多維試題功能（MDIF）及多層中介變項（MLM）兩個研究方法，去了解15歲男女學生在科學素養(認知和情感)上的性別差異及這些差異如何影響男女生在選擇以科學作為升學及職業的動機。比較常用的均差t-檢定，MDIF具備提高各次級量尺的精確度特質，因而可以更有效和準確地計算出男女學生在科學素養上的性別差異。MLM則以Eccles (1983) 的成功期望價值理論為學理基礎去分析和了解這些性別差異如何影響男女生在選取與科學相關的升學途徑和擇業的動機。 / 要完成MLM的研究，我們必須先使用單組驗證性因子分析(Single-Group CFA)驗證經濟合作與發展組織(OECD)所建構的六項情意因素，包括：「科學上的自我概念」、「科學的個人價值」、「科學的興趣」、「對科學的喜好」、「學習科學的工具性動機」和「將來工作而學習科學的動機」，以便了解使用這些源自西方社會的情意因素在本土研究的可行性及效度。接着使用本土數據去調整這六項情意因素結構。最後利用多組驗證性因子分析(Multiple-Group CFA)去確定這些因素結構對男女生是否都適用(即測量等同檢驗Measurement Invariance Test)。 / 由單組驗證性因子分析結果得知，六項情意因素，除了要對「科學的興趣」因素作較大幅度的修改外，其他五項因素都具有良好的心理測量特性。而多組驗證性因子分析的結果亦顯示，六項情意因素都能通過測量等同檢驗，亦即這六項因素結構對男女生都適用。 / 研究結果顯示除了「鑑定形成科學議題」能力外，本港15歲的男生在「解釋科學現象」及「科學證」等科學認知層面上優於女生。在科學情意發展上，男生比女生亦有更好的發展，其效應值(effect size)更高於認知層面。 / MLM的研究結果與Eccles的成功期望價值理論預測結果吻合，也就是說，男女生在面向未來升學選科和擇業動機上呈現明顯的性別差異，而這些差異主要是透過情意因素(中介變項)間接影響男女生的選擇意向。就這些因素而言，女生在選取科學作為未來升學途徑和職業動機明顯地較男生為弱。 / 整體而言，驗證性因子分析結果和MLM的研究結果支持源自西方社會的Eccles成功期望價值理論具備跨文化效度，在香港華人社會的研究結果與西方結果基本吻合。 / 最後，本文作者將根據本研究的結果，向科學教育的工作者、教師、父母、課程發展人員、政策的制定者和考核機構提供一些可行的建議，希望藉此改善香港男女生在科學生涯規劃上的性別差異。 / The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gender differences of 15-year-old students on scientific literacy and their impacts on students' motivation to pursue science education and careers (Future-oriented Science Motivation) in Hong Kong. / The data for this study was collected from the Program for International Student Assessment in Hong Kong (HKPISA). It was carried out in 2006. A total of 4,645 students were randomly selected from 146 secondary schools including government, aided and private schools by two-stage stratified sampling method for the assessment. / HKPISA 2006, like most of other large-scale international assessments, presents its assessment frameworks in multidimensional subscales. To fulfill the requirements of this multidimensional assessment framework, this study deployed new approaches to model and investigate gender differences in cognitive and affective latent traits of scientific literacy by using multidimensional differential item functioning (MDIF) and multilevel mediation (MLM). Compared with mean score difference t-test, MDIF improves the precision of each subscales measure at item level and the gender differences in science performance can be accurately estimated. In the light of Eccles et al (1983) Expectancy-value Model of Achievement-related Choices (Eccles' Model), MLM examines the pattern of gender effects on Future-oriented Science Motivation mediated through cognitive and affective factors. / As for MLM investigation, Single-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (Single-Group CFA) was used to confirm the applicability and validity of six affective factors which was, originally prepared by OECD. These six factors are Science Self-concept, Personal Value of Science, Interest in Science Learning, Enjoyment of Science Learning, Instrumental Motivation to Learn Science and Future-oriented Science Motivation. Then, Multiple Group CFA was used to verify measurement invariance of these factors across gender groups. / The results of Single-Group CFA confirmed that five out of the six affective factors except Interest in Science Learning had strong psychometric properties in the context of Hong Kong. Multiple-group CFA results also confirmed measurement invariance of these factors across gender groups. / The findings of this study suggest that 15-year-old school boys consistently outperformed girls in most of the cognitive dimensions except identifying scientific issues. Similarly, boys have higher affective learning outcomes than girls. The effect sizes of gender differences in affective learning outcomes are relatively larger than that of cognitive one. / The MLM study reveals that gender effects on Future-oriented Science Motivation mediate through affective factors including Science Self-concept, Enjoyment of Science Learning, Interest in Science Learning, Instrumental Motivation to Learn Science and Personal Value of Science. Girls are significantly affected by the negative impacts of these mediating factors and thus Future-oriented Science Motivation. The MLM results were consistent with the predications by Eccles' Model. / Overall, the CFA and MLM results provide strong support for cross-cultural validity of Eccles’ Model. In light of our findings, recommendations to reduce the gender differences in science achievement and Future-oriented Science Motivation are made for science education participants, teachers, parents, curriculum leaders, examination bodies and policy makers. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Wong, Kwan Yin. / Thesis (Ed.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 158-182). / Electronic reproduction.

近年，西方社會對學生聲音的研究如雨後春筍。學者們努力研究如何在課程研究範疇中發掘這些長期被忽略，但又極具價值的部份──學生的聲音。本研究就是嘗試以中學課程中較少權力牽引的部份──課外活動作為切入點，探索學生以自己的聲音建構自己的課程，他們在態度上──對人(包括自己、老師和同學)、對活動及對學校的變化。 / 研究者在自身任教的中學，透過學生聲音得知學生最有興趣的課外活動是玩遊戲機，於是研究者向校方申請成立「電玩學會」，並召集了13位同學成立幹事會。本研究就是記錄了幹事會中8位活躍分子在這大半學年間，由他們的聲音組織多次的活動，然後由研究者透過半結構性訪談，利用內隱式的態度量度方法探討這些同學在各個向度的態度變化。此外，本研究也提出以學生聲音建構活動時所需要注意的重點。 / 研究發現以學生聲音建構的電玩學會活動，會令籌辦活動學生的投入程度增加，部份學生更在活動中進入了「暢態」。此外，籌辦活動亦令部份學生對自己的態度產生了變化，尤其對自己的能力感有所增加。不過，如果在他們自己建構的活動過程中受到挫折，卻會令學生產生更負面的影響，甚至會萌生放棄的念頭，而這正是作為導師需要介入並協助他們的時候。另一方面，當幹事會中每一位學生都有著自己的聲音，他們彼此互動造成的衝擊，會令學生對其他同學的態度產生兩極化的影響，可能變得更喜歡，也可能變得更不喜歡，這一點甚少在其他研究提及。研究亦發現學生在經歷自己籌辦的活動後，對導師及學校的態度也會有所改善，不過這些改變的幅度卻是因人而異。最後，本研究亦分析了以學生聲音建構活動時所需要注意的三個重要元素：老師、學生及課程。三者互相緊扣，而且缺一不可。如果老師自身不相信學生聲音的力量，不肯把既有的權力下放；又或是學生能力上或是心態還未準備在課程上分享/分擔設計者的角色；還是老師及學生所共同建構的課程背後有另外一些外力牽引，例如公開考試、學校期望等。這些都是令學生聲音窒息的主要原因。 / 教育是一項育人的工程。當我們經常投訴學生完成中學後就算有很好的學業成績，卻沒有創造力、怯於表達自己意見、只愛自己卻不理別人感受，我們可以試回想他們在學校多年經歷中又有沒有機會發出過自己的聲音，並且被聆聽及受尊重？所以本研究建議在規劃嚴謹的學校課程中引入學生聲音，讓老師和學生在彼此互相尊重下一起成長。不過在推行具學生聲音建構的課程時，我們還需注意以上提及的三個重要元素：老師、學生及課程，否則只會變成空有軀殼沒有神髓的行動。 / In recent years, the research on student voice has aroused many concerns in the western society. The researchers tried to dig the neglected yet valuable student voice in the curriculum inquiry aspect. This paper attempts to use extra-curricular activities as an intervention point, using student voice to construct their curriculum, and see if it would bring about changes in students’ attitude towards self, teachers, classmates, activities and school. / Through collecting student voices in school, the researcher reveals that the most popular extra-curricular activity is “Electronic games. Therefore, the researcher proposed to establish the “Electronic Games Club and recruited 13 students to form a committee. This paper has recorded how to use the student voices of the 8 active members in the committee, in organizing several functions. With semi-constructed interview, the changes in attitudes of the 8 members in different dimensions are measured through “Implicit Attitude Measurement. Besides, the key elements of using student voice in constructing activities are discussed. / This paper reveals that when students are using their voices to construct the activities, they will have a higher engagement in the activities. Some of the students even experienced “flow and some recalled an increase in self-efficacy. However, negative influence can also be resulted if the students experienced frustration in the process, and they may have thoughts of giving up. This is the point when teacher needs to intervene and provide assistance. What rarely mentioned in other researches is the bipolar influence on the attitude of the student towards teammates ─ either positive or negative when every student’s voice conflicts with each other. Different extent of positive attitude changes of students towards teachers and school are also recorded. Finally, the three indispensable key elements, namely, teacher, student, and curriculum, of constructing activities with the students’ voice are discussed. Students’ voice can be greatly undermined if teacher does not trust the power of student voice, or the students are not ready to share the role of designing the curriculum, or both the teacher and students are pulled by demands of public exams or expectation of school etc. / We are educating “people. We see students lacking creativity, too shy to express their opinions and too self-centered despite high education attainment. Let us recall if there was a chance for our students to express their voices in school? Were their voices being heard and respected? This paper proposed to introduce student voice within the tight school curriculum and promote the mutual respect and growth between teachers and students. Nevertheless, to implement the essence of student voice in the curriculum, we should always pay attention in the three key elements ─ teacher, student and curriculum. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 龔萬聲. / Thesis (Ed.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 244-257). / Electronic reproduction.

The objective of this research was to determine if students who are enrolled in intensive reading intervention classes due to limited reading and comprehension skill, experience greater alienation than students not enrolled in these classes. Ninth and tenth grade students from March Valley School, a small alternative high school in Moreno Valley, CA participated in this study.

While a growing body of literature exists examining how intersecting social identities and structural organizations shape the on-campus hookup script, research examining the impact of technology on the hookup culture has been virtually nonexistent. Addressing this gap, this study adds to a current body of literature on the hookup culture and online dating by exploring how a diverse sample of young women and non-binary, femme individuals understand and negotiate interpersonal sexual scripts through the mobile dating app Tinder. Ultimately, findings from 25 in-depth interviews reveal how Tinder has shaped the sexual scripts of young adult dating into a "hybrid hookup script." Unlike the traditional college hookup culture, which centers the hookup script on fraternity parties, sexual dancing, and drinking, the hybrid hookup script reintroduces traditional dating practices, such as formal dates, into the modern sexual scripts of young adults. Specifically, the hybrid hookup script maintains the traditional gendered expectation that men initiate conversations and dates, while incorporating the patterns of drinking and the expectation of non-relational sex central to the on-campus hookup culture. Nearly all participants engaged in the hybrid hookup script to some extent; yet, women of color were overrepresented among those who eventually opted out of Tinder altogether. In particular, experiences of sexual and racial harassment created an environment in which women of color felt racially objectified and fetishized. As a result, the majority of women of color indicated that they deleted the app and did not intend to go back. Overall, results underscore how the Tinder app may be operating to rearticulate existing hierarchies of gender and race.

Despite the growing number of L2 studies examining digitally-mediated collaborative writing, the vast majority of these studies have focused on academic writing tasks. This study examined the dynamics and perceptions of groups of ESL students who used wikis to write collaborative short stories. The study also compared the short stories written in groups with posttest short stories written individually in terms of creativity, accuracy, and complexity. The study involved nine students taking a Creative Writing course in an intensive English program at a large university in the U.S. It followed a multiple case study design; the students were divided into three pairs and one triad (four case studies). For three weeks, the groups engaged in a series of wiki-based and creative writing activities and produced four collaborative short stories. During the following three-week period, the students wrote nine individual short stories using a similar writing prompt to the one used in the collaborative task. For each student, the collaborative and individual writing samples were compared on the three dimensions of creativity, accuracy, and complexity to examine whether collaboration influenced the quality of the product. Further, the dynamics of collaboration were explored through analyzing the wiki discussions and revision histories for each group. Finally, students' perceptions of the task were surveyed through individual interviews and self-assessment questionnaires. While there was not a clear effect of collaboration on the creativity and accuracy of the short stories, the complexity was slightly higher for the majority of the informants. The analysis of the short stories also indicated that ESL students faced difficulty writing in a genre that does not have a strict pre-established outline. Analysis of the wiki discussions and revision history showed trends of group dynamics in the four case studies. Further analysis of perception data revealed that although the majority of the informants had a negative perception of the collaborative task, they expressed a positive attitude toward the individual creative writing task.
