Communicative Antecedents of Political Persuasion: Political Discussion,Citizen News Creation,and the Moderating Role of Strength of Partisanship     

Alberto Ardèvol-Abreu  Matthew Barnidge  Homero Gil de Zúñiga 《Mass Communication and Society》2017,20(2):169-191

Although much attention has been paid to how media use and interpersonal discussion motivate people to engage in political persuasion, and despite recent efforts to study the role of digital media technologies, less is known about the creation of news and public affairs content online. This study sheds light on how online content creation works alongside other communicative behaviors, such as news use and political discussion, to affect attempted political persuasion. Using two-wave panel survey data, we find that political discussion and citizen news creation mediate the relationships between online and traditional news use, on one hand, and attempted persuasion, on the other. Furthermore, strength of partisanship moderates the relationship between content creation and attempted persuasion. Findings are discussed in light of their implications for the political communication and public sphere processes.  相似文献   

Children's Conceptions in Chemistry at Elementary School Level and Some Implications for Inservice Training of Teachers     

Alberto Bargellini  Pierluigi Riani 《欧洲师范教育杂志》1991,14(1):9-18

The activity of the research group for chemistry and integrated science education, operating in the University of Pisa, is presented. Two main areas are identified: analysis of the pupils’ preconceived ideas and consequent elaboration of teaching strategies. The interest is addressed towards the level of Italian elementary compulsory school, (pupils aged 6‐11 years). The work performed has noticeable effects in a proposal for a teaching model for in‐service training of teachers, addressed towards the present Italian situation.  相似文献   

From Comprehensive to Singular: A Latent Class Analysis of College Teaching Practices     

Corbin M. Campbell  Alberto F. Cabrera  Jessica Ostrow Michel  Shikha Patel 《Research in higher education》2017,58(6):581-604

While decades of research on college teaching has investigated several forms of classroom practices, much of this research approaches teaching as falling into mutually exclusive paradigms (e.g., active learning vs. lecturing). This paper enters inside the college classroom using external raters to understand patterns of pedagogical practices embedded in heterogeneous groups of courses. The study used quantitative observation and draws on data from a multi-institutional study of 587 courses across nine institutions to understand the patterns of teaching practices within courses. Latent class analyses demonstrated that there were five patterns of seven course practices that cluster around active learning, lecturing, and cognitively responsive practices: Comprehensive, Traditional Lecture, Active Lecture, Integrative Discussion, and Active Only.  相似文献

Scientific Culture and Public Education     

Cordero  Alberto 《Science & Education》2001,10(1-2):71-83

Current science and science-friendlyphilosophy jointly yield a picture of the world andourselves in it that is more substantial, detailed andcoherent than any other produced before by naturalphilosophy. When carefully formulated this pictureprovides us with: (a) an unprecedentedly reliablerepresentation of vast regions of the natural world;and (b) a non-arbitrary public framework forunderstanding and furthering important areas of publicconcern. This paper comments on the cultural andeducational significance of this picture. Influentialarguments against granting a privileged role toserious science on the basis of differentialcredibility are examined and found wanting. Thisresult is then folded into an analysis of thesignificance of scientific thought and practice for acautious conception of the goals and methods of publiceducation.  相似文献   

Revealing the decision-making of dribbling in the sport of futsal     

Umberto Cesar Corrêa  Silvia Teixeira de Pinho  Silvia Letícia da Silva  Fabian Alberto Romero Clavijo  Thiago de Oliveira Souza  Go Tani 《Journal of sports sciences》2016,34(24):2321-2328

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate why futsal players decide to dribble. For this purpose, we analysed 396 trials comprising the dribbles (n = 132), passes (n = 131) or shots (n = 133), performed by 70 male futsal players. Passing and shooting angles, and interpersonal distance, including their rates of change (velocity and variability), were regarded as measures of interpersonal coordination tendency and a comparison was made among dribbling, passing and shooting situations. In addition, the variables identified as constraints on deciding to dribble were analysed in relation to age categories, dribbling outcomes and futsal court zone. Results revealed that passing and shooting angles, and interpersonal distance showed higher variability in dribbling than in passing and shooting situations. The findings allowed us to conclude that decision-making on dribbling was influenced by the variabilities of passing angles as well as shooting and interpersonal distance, and that success in dribbling was affected by the variability of interpersonal distance. Such variabilities were interpreted concerning their meaning of risk and/or uncertainty in the execution of motor skills.  相似文献   

Context-based assessment: creating opportunities for resonance between classroom fields and societal fields     

Alberto Bellocchi  Donna T. King  Stephen M. Ritchie 《International Journal of Science Education》2016,38(8):1304-1342

There is on-going international interest in the relationships between assessment instruments, students’ understanding of science concepts and context-based curriculum approaches. This study extends earlier research showing that students can develop connections between contexts and concepts – called fluid transitions – when studying context-based courses. We provide an in-depth investigation of one student’s experiences with multiple contextual assessment instruments that were associated with a context-based course. We analyzed the student’s responses to context-based assessment instruments to determine the extent to which contextual tests, reports of field investigations, and extended experimental investigations afforded her opportunities to make connections between contexts and concepts. A system of categorizing student responses was developed that can inform other educators when analyzing student responses to contextual assessment. We also refine the theoretical construct of fluid transitions that informed the study initially. Implications for curriculum and assessment design are provided in light of the findings.  相似文献   

Introduction: Intercultural Studies within Central States     

Ahmet Atay  Alberto González 《Communication Studies》2018,69(4):337-340

The study of intercultural communication (IC) has a long history in the Central States Communication Association (CSCA). Some of the earliest work in IC has come from universities in the CSCA region, such as Indiana University (William Starosta) and University of Minnesota (Vernon Jensen and Rosita Albert). Since the inception of the Intercultural Communication Interest Group within CSCA in the early 1990s, IC scholars have contributed immensely to the discipline by studying different aspects of the relationship between communication and culture. Several active IC scholars present their recollections of the development of IC research in this issue.  相似文献   

Financing innovation: A bibliometric analysis of the field     

Ana Milena Padilla-Ospina  Javier Enrique Medina-Vásquez  Jorge Alberto Rivera-Godoy 《Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship》2018,23(1):63-102

This article presents a bibliometric analysis of the financing of innovation during the period 2001–2016. Among the most prominent journals in the field are Research Policy, Technovation and Small Business Economics; among the most influential authors are Petersen, Hall, Himmelberg, Lerner and Brown; and the most connected documents are those by Hall (2002) and Brown, Fazzari, and Petersen (2009). The field is fragmented and uses a variety of financial theoretical models. Salient topics in the field are financial constraints, funding sources (internal and external), capital structure, venture capital and financing of technology companies.  相似文献
