Simians in the Shape School: A comparative study of executive attention     

Kristin French  Michael J. Beran  Kimberly Andrews Espy  David A. Washburn 《Learning & behavior》2018,46(3):281-293

Executive functions (EF) have been studied extensively in children and adults. However, EF tasks for young children can be difficult to administer and interpret. Espy (1997, Developmental Neuropsychology, 13, 495–499) designed the Shape School task to measure inhibition and switching in preschool-aged children. Shape School presents cartoon-like characters that children must flexibly name by their color, their shape, or both, depending on cues that indicate the appropriate rule. Shape School has been found to be age sensitive as well as predictive of performance on other EF tasks. We presented a computerized analogue of Shape School to seven rhesus macaques. Monkeys were trained to categorize characters by color or shape, or to inhibit this response, depending on whether the characters had eyes open, eyes closed, or wore hats. Monkeys performed above chance on the inhibition and switching components of the task. Long runs of a single classification rule and long runs of noninhibition trials had no significant impact on performance when the rule changed or inhibition was required. This nonverbal adaptation of Shape School can measure EF in nonhuman animals and could be used in conjunction with other EF tasks to provide a clearer picture of both human and nonhuman executive functions.  相似文献   

Boxing clever: using shoeboxes to support home–school knowledge exchange

A key tenet of the Home–School Knowledge Exchange Project is that children's learning will be enhanced if the knowledge and experience that are to be found both at home and in school can be brought together. In this paper we explore ways of connecting home and school to support literacy learning at Key Stage 1, focusing on the home‐to‐school direction. We discuss how shoeboxes, filled with children's artefacts, can support a range of literacy‐related activities in school. It is suggested that the extensive diversity of knowledge and interests reflected in the chosen objects presents teachers with an invaluable opportunity to personalise children's literacy learning.  相似文献   

THE PLACE OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS IN EDUCATION RESEARCH     

Richard  Andrews    《British Journal of Educational Studies》2005,53(4):399-416

ABSTRACT:  The use of systematic reviews in educational research is a growing phenomenon in the UK, but is highly controversial. This article argues that such reviews have a useful place in a research cycle that wishes to inform and be informed by practice and policy. It proposes and discusses a model of educational research, showing how reviews relate to small or large-scale primary studies.  相似文献   

Computer‐assisted distance education: off‐line and on‐line American experiences     

James Andrews  John Strain 《Distance Education》1985,6(2):143-157

Computer‐assisted learning is having positive effects in distance education. Increased completion rates and enrolments at the Center for Independent Study, University of Missouri can be attributed to successful implementation of off‐line and on‐line systems. The Missouri system is compared to those in other distance teaching institutions and the strengths and weaknesses of the system are analysed.  相似文献   

Spatial strategies of oriented travel inCallicebus moloch andSaimiri sciureus     

Michael W. Andrews 《Learning & behavior》1988,16(4):429-435

The behavior of 9 titi monkeys (Callicebus moloch) and 12 squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) was examined with respect to three categorical strategies of spatial orientation: direction, turn, and place strategies. Individual animals were initially trained to travel to a fixed location from a constant release point. Following the initial training, each animal was tested by releasing it a number of times from three other release points and analyzing its travel paths. During testing, most individual subjects tended to be highly consistent in their spatial behavior, typically following travel paths consistent with one of the three spatial strategies. No one spatial strategy, however, characterized the behavior of either species.  相似文献   

Empowering teacher leadership: a cross-country study

ABSTRACT

The contextual, purpose-driven challenges facing schools and school systems across the world call for creative and innovative responses to revitalize school practices. The process of revitalization will require new thinking, new mindsets within an adaptive school culture and new leadership roles (formal and informal). Often the perception of leadership held within a school is that it is the province of the principal; however, if we move from a top-down model of leadership we can ulitize the capacity of others within to lead the learning. To enable this to happen, teacher leaders need to work with agency and principals need to nurture and grow their formal and informal leadership roles within the school. For many teachers, the question is how they can establish and commit to leadership roles and responsibilities within the school community while remaining in a teaching position. This case study examined the practices of teachers as they experienced leadership across three cross-cultural contexts: Colombia, Canada and Australia. It presents exemplars of teacher leadership in action and provides images of teacher leadership as enacted in addition to an understanding of the factors that were important in supporting their leadership actions.  相似文献
