The Role of Written Corrective Feedback in Developing Writing in L2

Feedback plays an important role in developing L2 writing in young learners. The article provides a brief overview of the history of giving feedback and of some contemporary views within this field. Special attention is paid to cognitive perspectives, such as the influence of written corrective feedback on shortterm memory, the influence of focused and unfocused written corrective feedback on error correction, the influence of written corrective feedback on a particular category of error, the influence of direct and indirect written corrective feedback and combinations of various types of written corrective feedback, and the influence of educational background and L2 learning background on the effectiveness of written corrective feedback in terms of sociocultural perspectives. The main aim of the article is to present readers (especially teachers) with the variety of aspects of giving written corrective feedback in developing L2 writing and thus in enabling young learners to develop their L2 writing skills more effectively.

Influence of Educational Background on Stated Retreatment Choices for Suboptimal Fixed Prosthodontic Conditions

The aim of this study was to compare the stated retreatment choices for defined, suboptimal fixed prosthodontic scenarios among groups of dental professionals with differing levels of education. The study population (n = 75) comprised interns (n = 27), various categories of graduate students (n = 32), and specialist staff (n = 16) from the same institution. Participants were required to record their choices of retreatment or no retreatment for 22 suboptimal fixed prosthodontic scenarios. Participants' choices varied within and between groups, with regard to specific scenarios. Intergroup differences that were statistically significant were for faulty occlusion (p= 0.013), open margin (p= 0.019), defective root filling (p= 0.001), periapical radiolucency (p= 0.011), and improper pontic design (p= 0.005), when no signs and symptoms, no caries, or no inflammation were present. The results confirm the widely-acknowledged variability in decision making that exists among dental professionals in general. The tendency for a significantly more interventive approach by those on a training pathway focused on imparting primarily clinical/technical skills than those enrolled in more conventional, academically-based programs, suggests that an educational dimension cannot be overlooked in the characterization of dentists' stated retreatment decision choices.

Performance on a dementia screening test in relation to demographic variables. Study of 5297 community residents in Taiwan.

To examine the relation between performance on a dementia screening test and the demographic variables of age, education, gender, and urban vs rural residency. Community survey with cluster sampling. One urban and one rural community from each of four geographic regions in Taiwan, Republic of China. A total of 5265 nondemented individuals approximately equally divided between men and women and between urban and rural residency with a range in age from 41 to 88 years and in education from 0 to 20 years. Score on a Chinese adaptation of the Mini-Mental State Examination. Lower test scores were associated with older age and less education. The decrease in score with age was faster among participants who had never attended school. Better performance by men and by urban residents was found only among participants with fewer than 6 years of schooling. In this group, the magnitudes of sex and residency differences were comparable among those subjects aged 41 to 64 years and those aged 65 to 88 years. Women who had never worked outside of the home performed poorer than those who had worked outside of the home. The influence of educational background on test performance is most evident in individuals with less education. Commonly used dementia screening tests may be unfair to poorly educated individuals, especially women and rural residents. Efforts should be made to develop ecologically relevant cognitive tests for the intended study populations. To help distinguish test bias from different rates of cognitive decline, the study populations should include individuals in predementia age ranges.

Geographic orientation in patients with unilateral cerebral disease

The accuracy of geographic orientation was studied in patients with unilateral cerebral disease and control patients. The influence of educational background on performance was also assessed. When educational background was controlled, the patients with brain disease performed more poorly than the controls on tasks requiring the localization of states and cities on a map of the United States and on a verbal test requiring them to indicate the directional relations between places. Educational background showed both an overall influence on performance level and an interaction with diagnostic category, the less well educated patients with brain disease showing a larger difference from their controls than did patients with better education. A “vector” score, reflecting a shift in localization toward the left or right part of the map differentiated between patients with right and left hemisphere disease and suggested neglect of the visual field contralateral to the side of lesion in some of these patients. The relationship between directional bias in geographic orientation and unilateral neglect in simpler spatial localization tasks remains an open question.

Does Educational Background Influence the Careers of Negroes?

There is a widespread belief that, whatever general or civic values are inherent in Negro education, the amount and character of the training bear slight relation to vocational opportunity. The advisability of stimulating the Negro to higher educational goals has been questioned. Some educators maintain that advanced education will help the Negro little, if any, in making his vocational and social adjustments. Others feel that only by additional education and vocational equipment will it be possible to break down racial prejudice and secure for the Negro equality of opportunity which is so essential in a democracy. Therefore, vocational counselors are confronted with the perplexing problem of advising the Negro student to choose between a trade course which might prove valuable in securing employment or a higher academic course with its dubious employment value. These important questions stimulated the author to make a study' of the education and careers of Negroes living in Manhattan, during the years 1929-1937, in order to discover the nature of the relationship between their scholastic training and their subsequent occupations. The factors tending to inhibit or stimulate vocational placement and progress of the Negro were also considered.
