باغ شاهزاده ماهان، به واسطه ساختار کالبدی و سازمان فضایی اش، نظام پیچیده ای از ادراک فضا برای مخاطبانش ایجاد می کند. چیدمان سازمان یافته عناصر طبیعی و انسان ساخت در فضاسازی این باغ ؛ از اساسی ترین مولفه ها ، در ایجاد تصویر ذهنی خاص در مخاطبان است. مساله بنیادین این تحقیق بر پیمایش تاثیر ساختار باغ شاهزاده ماهان، با سازمان فضایی واجد سکانس های متفاوت فضایی بر ادراک مخاطبان در اثر حرکت در فضای باغ استوار است که با شناسایی سکانس های فضایی باغ ، ارزیابی عوامل حرکت شامل محور، سلسله مراتب، ریتم، اختلاف سطح و شفافیت در سکانس های شناخته شده بر اساس سنجش تصویر ذهنی مخاطبان صورت گرفته است. برای این منظور، از روش تحقیق تحلیل محتوای متن با ابزار مرور متون و منابع برای جمع آوری داده های نظری و روش تحقیق نمونه موردی با استفاده از ابزار پرسشنامه برای سنجش تصویر ذهنی مخاطبان، استفاده شده است. جامعه آماری به روش تجربی، با حجم 30 نفر از مخاطبان باغ شاهزاده ماهان، تعیین و داده ها با نرم افزار spss تحلیل شدند. نتایج به دست آمده بیانگر این است که سکانس های متفاوت در این باغ به لحاظ ساختار باغ؛ تصاویر ذهنی مشترکی در مخاطبان به همراه خواهد داشت؛ چرا که درصد پاسخ مخاطبان نسبت به مولفه های حرکتی حاصل از هندسه باغ، سلسله مراتب عبور از سردر تا کوشک اصلی، ایجاد مکث در بوجود آمدن حرکت احساسی مخاطبان بالای 50 درصد بوده و نشان دهنده تاثیر قابل توجه این مؤلفه ها است. در پایان پژوهش به این نتیجه دست یافته شد که باغ شاهزاده ماهان با ایجاد تصویر ذهنی مشترک در مخاطبان مختلف، نمونه ای موفق در ایجاد انواع حرکت فیزیکی و بصری و معنایی است.

رشته‌های معماری و طراحی شهری دارای جایگاهی میان‌رشته‌ای بوده و مبانی و رویکردهای نظری و پژوهشی خود را از طیف وسیعی از علوم وام می‌گیرند. به همین دلیل، شیوه‌های پژوهش در این رشته‌ها معمولا حاصل ترکیبی از روشهای گوناگون می‌باشد که در طیف وسیع و گسترده‌ای از مطالعات وابسته به علوم محض تا مطالعات وابسته به علوم اجتماعی و انسانی، قرار می‌گیرد. مقاله حاضر با مخاطب قرار دادن مدرسان، دانشجویان و پژوهشگران معماری و طراحی شهری، هدف معرفی انواع روشهای تحقیق متعارف و شناخته‌شده در حوزه معماری و طراحی شهری را دنبال می‌کند. به این منظور، ابتدا با تأکید بر رویکرد جان کرسول مبتنی بر تشخیص چهار پارادایم اصلی اثبات‌گرایی، تفسیرگرایی، پراگماتیسم و انتقادی، دسته‌بندی کلی از پارادایم‌های تحقیق ارائه شده و سپس بر مبنای مطالعات انجام شده توسط پژوهشگران داخل و خارج از کشور، انواع طرح- گونه‌های تحقیق معرفی می‌شوند. در مرحله بعد به منظور تدقیق گونه‌های شناسایی شده، با بررسی مقالاتی که به صورت هدفمند از میان مجلات علمی-پژوهشی حوزه معماری و شهرسازی کشور، انتخاب می‌شوند، کمبودها و موارد تکمیلی شناسایی شده و در نهایت، نموداری برای معرفی و دسته‌بندی روشهای متعارف تحقیق در رشته‌های تخصصی مورد نظر، ارائه شده‌است.. همچنین به منظور شناخت بیشتر از هر روش تحقیق، جدولی ارائه شده‌است که نشان می‌دهد هر روش باید بر مبنای پارادایم، رویکرد، هدف کلان و فنون/تدابیر تحقیق (ابزارهای گردآوری اطلاعات و روشهای تجزیه و تحلیل اطلاعات) معرفی شود. نتیجه مطالعات انجام شده، نشان می دهد که رویکردهای کیفی و ترکیبی در حوزه‌های پژوهشی معماری و طراحی شهری دارای نقش غالب هستند.

In this study, the percentages of female faculty at Texas 4-year public universities for the 2003 and 2014 academic years were examined to determine the degree to which changes might have occurred over time. Archival data were retrieved from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board on Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Full Professor faculty positions at Texas 4year universities. Inferential statistical procedures revealed the presence of statistically significant differences was between the percentages of female faculty in each of the three positions between the 2003 and 2014 academic years. A statistically significant higher percentage of female faculty members was present in the 2014 academic year than in the 2003 academic year. Interestingly, the percentage of female faculty members at the Full Professor position increased by 9.46% over this time period, compared to an increase of only 4.15% at the Assistant Professor level, and an increase of only 4.04% at the Associate Professor level. Based on these percentages increase, female faculty members at the entry level rank of Assistant Professors were not increasing at the same rate as female Full Professors, which indicates a gap in the pipeline of professorship for female faculty. Discussion and policy recommendations to address this gap are discussed in this study.

In this empirical statewide investigation, the degree to which grade span configuration was related to the academic achievement of boys and girls in Texas public schools was addressed. Specifically analyzed were two grade span configurations (i.e., Pre-K/K-Grade 6/7/8 and Grades 6/7Grade 12) and the reading and mathematics performance of Grade 6, 7, and 8 boys and girls for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school years. Although statistically significant differences were present in only two reading analyses, higher passing rates in reading were present in the elemiddle grade span configuration than in the secondary configuration in all 12 analyses. For the TAKS Mathematics passing rates, 11 of the 12 analyses revealed statistically significant differences, with small to moderate effect sizes.

As a consequence of receiving frequent complaints from students and colleagues about their difficulties in writing papers in English, I have to reconsider the deadlock confronted by Chinese writers of English academic articles. Obviously, these writers have similar difficulties in approaching academic writing, not because lack of professional knowledge, but because the ability of processing language is not handy enough, though the majority of them demonstrate good lexical and grammatical knowledge, or even discourse knowledge of the target language. Therefore, summary and exploitation of the deadlock confronted by them facilitates the improvements of language efficiency in expressing ideas. If they can build certain cultural awareness before constructing ideas, writing in English may not be so problematic as they anticipate. In this article, the deadlock confronted by Chinese writers based on a theoretical research about EAL or EFL academic writing and interview with carefully selected writers is concluded as three major difficulties: text borrowing, critical writing, as well as structural and ideological diversity between L1 and L2. They should be highlighted as the most conspicuous problems for Chinese writers. However, most of the difficulties originate from cultural difference and language obstacles posed by it, which needs to be realized by Chinese EFL writers. To solve the problems, I recommend teachers and learners to adopt comparative approach and text-based approach which emphasize cultural awareness in training writing skills.

Science teacher educators need to formatively assess preservice teachers’ understanding of the components of an effective science classroom in order to provide remediation before they assume primary responsibility for instruction. The Beliefs About Learning Environments (BALE) instrument has been used in a number of studies to assess knowledge of effective classrooms among preservice teachers, inservice teachers, principals, students, and parents. Interestingly, however, the results showed only small differences in knowledge among the various groups surveyed. We hypothesized that a different means of administration (focus group instead of pencil paper) would produce a stronger relationship between the amount of experience teachers have learning about and teaching inquiry approaches and their knowledge of effective learning environments. We compared the BALE results from a group of senior early childhood majors with those from a group of newly-graduated early childhood majors who participated in a year-long professional development project focused on inquiry science teaching.
