Physical interactions involving preschoolers and kindergartners in a childcare center     

Bethany Fleck  Pablo Chavajay 《Early childhood research quarterly》2009

This naturalistic observational study described the similarities and differences in physical interactions involving preschoolers and kindergartners within the context of a US childcare facility. It examined patterns of touch involving the children across center and circle activities within the course of their day. Results indicated that preschoolers more often engaged in purposeful forms of physical contact than kindergartners. Of the purposeful forms of physical contact, affectionate touch occurred more frequently involving preschoolers than kindergartners. Together, these findings suggest that the extent and types of physical contact involving preschoolers and kindergartners may serve different developmental needs that are in accordance with children's ages, skills, and the emphasis placed on physical contact in the educational setting.  相似文献   

Perceptions of School and Aspirations of Rural Students with Learning Disabilities and Their Nondisabled Peers     

Matthew J. Irvin  Thomas W. Farmer  Margaret P. Weiss  Judith L. Meece  Soo‐yong Byun  Bethany M. McConnell  Robert A. Petrin 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2011,26(1):2-14

This study examined the school perceptions and educational aspirations of 6,599 rural high school students, a sample that included 428 students with learning disabilities (LD). Regardless of disability status, rural high school students who had negative perceptions of school had less well‐defined postsecondary educational plans and less often aspired to complete college or pursue an advanced degree. Compared to nondisabled youth, rural students with LD were more likely to have negative perceptions of school and lower postsecondary aspirations. However, students with LD who had positive perceptions of school more often planned to pursue postsecondary education and aspired to complete college or an advanced degree. Implications for research and interventions pertaining to the educational attainment of students with LD are discussed.  相似文献   

Rethinking the Core List of Journals for Libraries that Serve Schools and Colleges of Pharmacy     

Robert D. Beckett  Sabrina W. Cole  Hannah K. Rogers  Skye Bickett  Christina Seeger  Jennifer A. McDaniel 《Journal of the Medical Library Association》2014,102(4):292-296

The Core List of Journals for Libraries that Serve Schools and Colleges of Pharmacy is a guide for developing and maintaining pharmacy-affiliated library collections. A work group was created to update the list and design a process for updating that will streamline future revisions. Work group members searched the National Library of Medicine catalog for an initial list of journals and then applied inclusion criteria to narrow the list. The work group finalized the fifth edition of the list with 225 diverse publications and produced a sustainable set of criteria for journal inclusion, providing a structured, objective process for future updates.  相似文献

Positive and Negative Self‐Perceptions: Is There a Cyclical Relationship Between Teachers' and Students' Perceptions of Effort,Strategy Use,and Academic Performance?     

Lynn Meltzer  Ranjini Reddy  Laura Sales Pollica  Bethany Roditi  Julie Sayer  Christina Theokas 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2004,19(1):33-44

This study was part of a larger research program designed to investigate how effort interacts with strategy use to mediate the academic performance of successful students with learning disabilities (LD) and how teachers' and students' perceptions influence these relationships. The sample consisted of 46 students with LD and 46 matched students without LD and their seven teachers from Grades 6–8. A self‐report survey was used to obtain an index of students' perceptions of their effort, strategy use, academic struggles, and academic competence. Our findings indicated that students with LD with positive academic self‐perceptions were more likely to work hard and to use strategies in their schoolwork than were students with LD who had negative academic self‐perceptions. Teachers viewed students with LD who had positive academic self‐perceptions as working equally hard and attaining similar levels of academic competence as their peers without LD. In marked contrast, students with LD who had negative academic self‐perceptions were judged by their teachers as making limited effort in school and achieving at a below‐average level in comparison with their peers. Findings suggested a cyclical relationship between students' self‐perceptions and their teachers' judgments and supported the notion of a reciprocal strategy‐effort interaction.  相似文献   

Reciprocal longitudinal relations between nonresident father involvement and adolescent delinquency     

Coley RL  Medeiros BL 《Child development》2007,78(1):132-147

Using a representative sample of low-income, primarily minority adolescents (N=647, aged 10-14 years at Wave 1), this study examined bidirectional longitudinal relations between nonresident father involvement, defined as contact and responsibility for children's care and behavior, and adolescent engagement in delinquent activities. Autoregressive and fixed effects models found that higher nonresident father involvement predicted subsequent decreases in adolescent delinquency, particularly for youth with initial engagement in delinquent activities. Adolescent delinquency did not predict subsequent changes in father involvement. However, the two factors covaried: As adolescent delinquency increased, so too did father involvement, suggesting that nonresident fathers may increase their involvement in the face of adolescent problem behavior, with this pattern driven primarily by African American families.  相似文献   

RELATIONS AND EFFECTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION POLICIES: LISREL ANALYSIS     

Olaf C. McDaniel 《Higher Education in Europe》1996,21(2-3):121-131

This article uses a form of multi‐dimensional statistical analysis, so‐called LISREL analysis, as developed by Jöreskog and Sörbom, to analyze the interrelationships of fourteen variable elements influencing higher education policy. The aim of the method is to discover which elements carry the greatest weight and in relationship to which others as linked to the tension between higher education and government. A number of possibilities could be proved by this method, in particular, the increasing importance of internationalization as an element in national higher education policies.  相似文献
