huge57+-->引用:huge57 自己读吧: The U.S. Department of Education (Institute of Education Sciences; NCES) released in August a report dated July 2004 entitled “1.1 Million Homeschooled Students in the United States in 2003” (by Princiotta, Bielick, & Chapman) in which the authors estimate the number of homeschooled students in the United States (i.e., homeschool population size). Dr. Ray, however, still estimates that there were 1.7 to 2.1 million K-12 homeschool students in the US during the 2002-2003 year Consistent with Dr. Ray’s findings ( see Worldwide Guide to Homeschooling), the researchers found that homeschooling has grown about 7% per year during the past 4 years. http://www.nheri.org/ 谢谢袁博士,博士就是博士不会乱搞,这么多英文,又赶上我这一介草民不识得几个英文大字,咬着牙硬着头皮和博士讨论吧,不过这坛子上还有很多美国的朋友呢。 搞数据当然以准确为上,您引的NHERI的那段字连在一段,容易给人一个误解,那就是后面这个数据和上面那个数据一样是NCES的数据,不过真要找数据何必去这种Institude,直接去NCES多好,那可是官方的数据,更有说服力的。 其实从上面那段袁博士引用的数据像我这种不认识英文的人大致也能看懂,其中数据有两个,一个是官方认可的110万,一个是Dr. Ray研究的170万到210万,相差快两倍了,我信谁呢,还是相信官方数据把。那咱再看看官方的数据是咋说的,贴个图吧,大家容易看明白<img src="http://nces.ed.gov/nhes/homeschool/images/tab01.gif" border="0" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.src);" alt= style="CURSOR: pointer" onload="javascript:if(this.width>screen.width-500)this.style.width=screen.width-500;" /> 这是到2003年的,让大家看一下,是其中还分了4类,纯粹在家的,占其中的82%,其余的还是部分时间上学校。 增长比例我算了一下约是6.05%,和袁博士引用的数据接近,不过这个比例的基数是Homeschooled人数,是相对比例,可参考性较小,比如说去年袁博士私塾人数是1人而今年是6人,则相对增长比例是500%,很吓人吧。 另外一个增长比例是基于全部在学学生的NCES给出的比例是4年的增长比例是0.5%,每年应该约是0.125%。 袁博士有一点说对了,是在增长。那我们看看为什么会有这种选择 英文咱也贴一段,看看家长为什么选择HomeSchooling Parents’ Most Important Reasons for Homeschooling Their Children In the 2003 NHES, parents were asked whether particular reasons for homeschooling their children applied to them. Parents were then asked which one of those applicable reasons was their most important reason for homeschooling. Thirty-one percent of homeschoolers had parents who said the most important reason for homeschooling was concern about the environment of other schools ([url=http://javascript<img%20src="/images/smilies/redface.gif"%20border="0"%20alt=%20title="困窘"%20smilieid="2"%20class="inlineimg"%20/>penWin('figures.asp?PopUp=true&FigureNumber=fig02')]<font color="#0a0a4d">figure 2[/url]). Thirty percent said the most important reason was to provide religious or moral instruction. The next reason was given about half as often; 16 percent of homeschooled students had parents who said dissatisfaction with the academic instruction available at other schools was their most important reason for homeschooling. 本人英语太差,袁博士给大家翻译一下吧。人家国家有人家的情况啊。 其实HomeScholling和袁博士的私塾也没啥共通之处,非要拿那个数据说明问题,选一些高的数据也可以理解。之所以和袁博士探讨此问题,是因为袁博士毕竟是博士,说话比较有依据,不会信口胡说,因此探讨起来才有意思。只当是我们小小老百姓向博士请教吧。 相关网址:http://nces.ed.gov/nhes/homeschool/ |
