Communities in the making: Pedagogic explorations using oral history     

Jennifer Harding  John Gabriel 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2013,23(3):185-202

This article discusses two projects supported by the Higher Education Active Community Fund, which involved student and staff volunteers in working with local communities and community-based organisations in two London boroughs. Oral history methods were used to investigate and represent the experiences of elderly people living in Borough A and young people who have been in foster care in Borough B and their carers. Both projects involved collecting detailed life stories on video and editing these for exhibition in the public domain. The video for Borough A was to form part of the Council's website, the older people's portal. The video for Borough B was to be used to train people providing professional services to young people in foster care and to involve the young people in filming, editing and producing a soundtrack. The article discusses the aims and context of the two projects and critically reviews the learning experiences involved. It analyses issues raised by volunteering, working with local communities, and attempting to represent marginalised experience. It reflects critically on notions of community and community development and discusses relations between oral history projects and community definition, higher education and society.  相似文献   

A Logical Model for Curriculum Development   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

John Cowan  Alan G Harding 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》1986,17(2):103-109

Curriculum development is presented in a model arranged on a logical rather than a chronological basis, with emphasis on process rather than on product or syllabus content. The writers relate various components of the model to recent researches into student learning, and advocate its use as practical assistance for self-organization when approaching curriculum development tasks.  相似文献

Agents for change: policy and practice towards a more gender‐inclusive science education     

Jan Harding  Lesley H. Parker 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(4):537-553

A range of initiatives aimed at a more gender‐inclusive science curriculum has developed in many countries. In this paper five countries are used to illustrate these developments. They have occurred usually in the context of relevant policy statements, but sometimes in the absence of a policy, through activists, often outside the school system. At times policies developed within the education system act in opposition to a change towards greater gender equity in science education. However, when policies are in place and made visible, and where feedback and adequate monitoring are required change has occurred. The successful incorporation of gender equity awareness and practices into the professional role and practice of teachers requires adequate resources to support change.  相似文献

Document retrieval using a serial bit string search     

Alan F. Harding  Michael F. Lynch  Peter Willett 《Information processing & management》1983,19(1):1-8

An experimental best match retrieval system is described based on the serial file organisation. Documents and queries are characterised by fixed length bit strings and the time-consuming character-by-character term match is preceeded by a bit string search to eliminate large numbers of documents which cannot possibly satisfy the query. Two methods, one fully automatic and one partially manual in character, are described for the generation of such bit string characterisations. Retrieval experiments with a large document test collection show that the two-level search can increase substantially the efficiency of serial searching while maintaining retrieval effectiveness, and that a single-level search based only upon the bit strings results in only a small decrease in effectiveness in some cases.  相似文献

The Objectives and Structure of Undergraduate Projects — I     

A. G. Harding 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》1973,4(2):94-105

The arena in which one may expect to see the broadest number of changes and the highest potential for dramatic demonstration of the effectiveness of educational technology will be in the developing nations of the world. The primary reasons for this suggestion are that the severity of educational problems in these countries — a severity of crisis proportions — and the hypothesis that these nations are not as strongly committed to the old-fashioned paradigms as are the more developed nations. The heavy pressure to increase both the quality and quantity of education, and to increase education's contribution to the nation's growth, are causing many to look hopefully toward educational technology. The technological approach, building on the base which it has developed over the past fifteen years, should be able to demonstrate that it is capable of meeting the challenge. One certainly hopes it will.  相似文献
