Brains on the Table: Diagnostic and formative assessment through observation     

David Leat  Adam Nichols 《Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice》2000,7(1):103-121

The majority of assessment in secondary schools in England and Wales is summative both in nature and purpose but as a tool for learning, assessment must be a dynamic dialogue between teacher and pupil which influences future teaching and learning activities. Diagnostic assessment of pupils is constrained by the nature of the tasks in which they are asked to engage. This paper describes the use of 'mysteries' as an enjoyable assessment tool which provides evidence of pupils' cognitive processes through the observation and analysis of pupils' manipulation of data slips to solve the mystery. Stages in this process are identified and their resemblance to the structure of the observed learning outcome (SOLO) taxonomy is established. A diagnostic interpretation of the difficulties pupils may be observed to encounter is suggested and appropriate formative action is outlined. Finally, the collaborative nature of learning and the validity of mysteries as assessment tools are discussed.  相似文献

Minseok Ahn and Public Sociology of Sport     

Seungyup Lim  Adam Love  Hyun-Chin Lim 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2015,67(1):30-43

This article presents a biographical overview of Minseok Ahn’s career, specifically highlighting his role as a public sport sociologist. Notably, Ahn has spent time as a student activist, worked as a physical education teacher, served as a scholar with a university appointment, and held office in the South Korean National Assembly. Throughout his career, he has sought engagement with multiple publics in multiple ways to pursue reform in sport and physical education. An examination of Ahn’s career can offer insights regarding the processes and challenges involved in pursuing public sociology and provide a cross-national perspective that helps us consider the possibilities that exist for scholars to seek progressive change in sport through public engagement.  相似文献   

Canvassing conversations: obstinate issues in studies of elites and elite education     

Adam Howard  Jane Kenway 《International journal of qualitative studies in education》2015,28(9):1005-1032

Studies of elites and elite education have largely not involved rigorous debate, either with regard to the conceptual resources deployed or methodologies adopted. Even the concepts elite and elite schools have not been problematized much. Further, there is a tendency for people to cite, rather than engage or dispute each other. So while the number of published studies increases and the field grows in size, and expands in focus, it is not necessarily growing through spirited dialog and critique. The first part of this paper considers the ways in which the methodological scope in the study of elites and elite education has been restrained and limited through the repetition of particular methodological frameworks and practices. Drawing on the work included in this special issue and other recent research, we then suggest some methodological possibilities for expanding this scope. In the second main part, we offer some provocations about the theoretical resources that are conventionally deployed. We argue that scholars need to be much more critically self-conscious about their uses of elite theories and class theories and much more aware of the ideological implications of their research.  相似文献   

On-chip recalcification of citrated whole blood using a microfluidic herringbone mixer     

Marcus Lehmann  Alison M. Wallbank  Kimberly A. Dennis  Adam R. Wufsus  Kara M. Davis  Kuldeepsinh Rana  Keith B. Neeves 《Biomicrofluidics》2015,9(6)

In vitro assays of platelet function and coagulation are typically performed in the presence of an anticoagulant. The divalent cation chelator sodium citrate is among the most common because its effect on coagulation is reversible upon reintroduction of divalent cations. Adding divalent cations into citrated blood by batch mixing leads to platelet activation and initiation of coagulation after several minutes, thus limiting the time blood can be used before spontaneously clotting. In this work, we describe a herringbone microfluidic mixer to continuously introduce divalent cations into citrated blood. The mixing ratio, defined as the ratio of the volumetric flow rates of citrated blood and recalcification buffer, can be adjusted by changing the relative inlet pressures of these two solutions. This feature is useful in whole blood assays in order to account for differences in hematocrit, and thus viscosity. The recalcification process in the herringbone mixer does not activate platelets. The advantage of this continuous mixing approach is demonstrated in microfluidic vascular injury model in which platelets and fibrin accumulate on a collagen-tissue factor surface under flow. Continuous recalcification with the herringbone mixer allowed for flow assay times of up to 30 min, more than three times longer than the time achieved by batch recalcification. This continuous mixer allows for measurements of thrombus formation, remodeling, and fibrinolysis in vitro over time scales that are relevant to these physiological processes.  相似文献   

Extending the Broadcast: Streaming Culture and the Problems of Digital Geographies     

Benjamin Burroughs  Adam Rugg 《广播与电子媒介杂志》2014,58(3):365-380

This article examines the recent move by many television sports broadcasters of streaming their content online behind geographically restricted “geofences.” Despite the increasing use of this distribution method, we argue that Internet users are increasingly bypassing geofences that center sports consumption within a nationalized television broadcasting framework through the use of VPN (virtual private network) technologies. Importantly, the geographic fluidity of the Internet often allows users to do this legally—producing meaningful ruptures in the logic that seeks to replicate the structures of mediation central to the television broadcast model within the space of the Internet. We argue that the streaming of sports content, then, should be understood and analyzed as an enforcement of corporate media strategies and reflection of telecommunication policy, as well as a cultural practice and tactic. Large transnational media corporations, typically the holders of popular sporting rights, attempt to bend digital sports content consumption to the broadcast models that they have historically employed. Yet, amidst this emerging model of digital broadcasting lie the problems of digital geography and the cultural practice of a streaming culture within the conditions of post-convergence. This practice often rejects the restrictions and stipulations of digital broadcasting in favor of a globetrotting, station-hopping exercise of content hunting.  相似文献
