Exploring the dimensionality of the CLASS Pre-K in Latine preschool classrooms: further support for a bifactor model by Hanjoe Kim, Jorge E. Gonzalez

“…Six alternative models that were suggested by literature were explored.MethodsUsing a series of confirmatory factor analyses, we found that a best fitting bifactor model with one generic factor (Responsive Teaching) and three correlating specific factors (Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, Instructional Support) aligned with the developer’s theorizing was a good fit for the data.ResultsThe generic factor represents a common dyadic systems-level property across all CLASS Pre-K dimensions, which can be characterized by the construct of responsivity.DiscussionFurthermore, Latine cultural values such as bien educado and educación are illustrated as a plausible explanation of the factor structure found in this study. …”

Sedimentary characteristics of the Lingshui Formation in the Baodao 21-1 area of the Qiongdongnan Basin and their significance in hydrocarbon exploration by Rufeng JIANG, Licheng CAO, Xiaoliang DENG, Yunlong HE, Yaoqi JIAO, Zigui CHEN, Tao LI, Qi ZHANG

“…Methods Based on the newly acquired drilling-seismic data, the sedimentary characteristics of the Third Member of the Upper Oligocene Lingshui Formation and their significance in hydrocarbon exploration were analyzed in the Baodao 21-1 area. Results Bidirectional sediment provenances controlled the deposition of the Third Member of the Lingshui Formation, resulting in the early deposition of fan delta in the adjacent uplands and the late deposition of braided river delta fed by sediment sources of the Hainan Uplift on the northwest and the Shenhu Uplift on the northeast. …”
