Creating high challenge/high support academic environments through constructive alignment: student outcomes     

Helen Larkin  Ben Richardson 《Teaching in Higher Education》2013,18(2):192-204

Higher education needs to provide challenging yet supportive learning environments catering for students with diverse academic needs. There is also an emphasis on using student-driven outcome measures to determine teaching effectiveness. How can these measures be used to reflect upon and evaluate teaching initiatives? Using an undergraduate occupational therapy programme as the site for exploration, this article reports on an application of constructive alignment principles and describes how available empirical data were used to explore student outcomes. A comparison was made between student evaluations and academic grades prior to, and after the implementation of the initiative. Results provide evidence of improvement in student satisfaction and academic grades as a result of implementing constructive alignment. Whilst it is acknowledged that changes in academic grades and student evaluations can be attributed to a number of factors, findings of this study support a view that constructive alignment facilitates students' learning and experiences.  相似文献   

从“常回家看看”入法论我国公民家庭道德建设     

孙奔  江达 《徐州师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2013,(Z2):91-93

加强家庭道德建设是全面提高我国公民道德素质的重要环节。中国传统社会蕴涵着以孝道为核心的家庭道德内容,它在我国当代社会转型期依然能够适应和促进现代家庭道德建设。除了道德因素之外,法律因素对当前公民家庭道德建设也发挥着规范作用,二者在促进我国公民道德建设中相互结合,互相促进。  相似文献   

NYPL Labs: Hacking the Library     

Ben Vershbow 《图书馆管理杂志》2013,53(1):79-96

ABSTRACT

Over the past couple of years, The New York Public Library has made significant strides in jumpstarting a digital humanities research program through the establishment of a curator-focused, R&D technology unit called NYPL Labs. This article will examine the first three projects produced by NYPL Labs, a trilogy of online experiments exploring methods of mining new humanities data sets from special collections material, and of translating the Library's public mission to the Web via user collaboration and crowdsourcing. In just two years, NYPL Labs has demonstrated how much can be accomplished when technical resources are focused and procedural constraints loosened, though the challenges of sustaining this work are already becoming apparent as the team must continue to innovate while maintaining a growing portfolio of projects.  相似文献

Mining Technical Resources for Business Information     

A. Ben Wagner  Michael R. Lavin 《Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship》2013,18(2):128-158

Business librarians can benefit from a deeper understanding of science and engineering resources, especially when researching technological topics, products, or industries. The authors introduce a variety of technical publications and databases useful for business research. Categories of resources described include technical encyclopedias and handbooks, periodical indexes and full-text databases, patents, technical reports, product literature, preprint and open-access repositories, conference proceedings, and dissertations. A case study based on MP3 audio technology demonstrates the types of business information that can be uncovered through a careful search of technical sources.  相似文献

对吉林省青年男子速度轮滑运动员入弯与出弯技术的运动学分析     

王犇 《南昌教育学院学报》2013,(10):174-175

运用Simi motion生物力学分析系统对吉林省3名青年男子速度轮滑运动员入弯技术与出弯技术进行动作解析,通过运动生物力学理论参数进行分析,得出运动员入弯阶段与出弯阶段运动学特征,主要是身体倾斜角度和速度以及重心轨迹的变化。得出入弯时的速度没有出弯时的速度快但入弯阶段运动员身体起伏变化频率比出弯阶段快。  相似文献   

Mechanical determinants of acceleration and maximal sprinting speed in highly trained young soccer players

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine, in highly trained young soccer players, the mechanical horizontal determinants of acceleration (Acc) and maximal sprinting speed (MSS). Eighty-six players (14.1 ± 2.4 year) performed a 40-m sprint to assess Acc and MSS. Speed was measured with a 100-Hz radar, and theoretical maximal velocity (V₀), horizontal force (F₀) and horizontal power (P_max) were calculated. Within each age group, players were classified as high Acc/fast MSS (>2% faster than group mean), medium (between ?2% and +2%), and low/slow (>2% slower). Acc and MSS were very largely correlated (?0.79; 90% confidence limit [?0.85; ?0.71]). The determinants (multiple regression r² = 0.84 [0.78; 0.89]) of Acc were V₀ (partial r: 0.80 [0.72; 0.86]) and F₀ (0.57 [0.44; 0.68]); those of MSS (r² = 0.96 [0.94; 0.97]) were V₀ (0.96 [0.94; 0.97]) and P_max (0.73 [0.63; ?0.80]). High/Med have likely greater F₀ (Cohen’s d: +0.8 [0.0; 1.5]), V₀ (+0.6 [?0.1; 1.3]) and P_max (+0.9 [0.2; 1.7]) than Low/Med. High/Fast have an almost certainly faster V₀ (+2.1 [1.5; 2.7]) and a likely greater P_max (+0.6 [?0.1; 1.3]) than High/Med, with no clear differences in F₀ (?0.0 [?0.7; 0.6]). Speed may be a generic quality, but the mechanical horizontal determinants of Acc and MSS differ. While maximal speed training may improve both Acc and MSS, improving horizontal force production capability may be efficient to enhance sprinting performance over short distances.  相似文献
