In the past decades, we have witnessed the rapid development of high-speed transportation infra-structure, such as high-speed railways, urban subways, expressways, and airfields worldwide. As a major effort in transportation infrastructure development, China plans to  相似文献   

The Language of the Geography Text‐book: an historical appraisal     

Bill Marsden 《International Journal of Research & Method in Education》2013,36(1):53-65

Graphic elicitation, i.e. asking participants to draw, is an interview technique used to focus the interviewee on the given topic or gain extra meaning not covered verbally as part of the interview. This study analyses two interview contexts which included visual elicitation. It describes a successful example in which the researcher maintained control over the mode of the planned research task (diagram) as well as another example in which slippage occurred between the mode of the planned research task (drawing) and the resulting artefact (diagram). Through this analysis, strategies for maintaining researcher control over the mode of elicitation are identified, increasing our understanding about the theory and practice of both drawings and diagrams as two different modes of visual elicitation. The paper concludes that the required control does not necessarily comprise an increase in task structure (directing participants as to how to draw). Moreover, the subject and purpose of the task are equally important. Successful researcher control then comprises a careful balance between all the three aspects of purpose, structure and subject.  相似文献

The Use of Simulators in Teaching Computer Science     

Bill Janeway 《Computer Science Education》2013,23(2):155-160

Should a computer science student be able to write a simple interrupt‐answering routine? Can we have students write simple interrupt‐answering routines? What programming assignment can be given to help students understand how “system service calls” work (i.e., how do we get from nonprivilege mode to privilege mode)? Our machines with vendor‐supplied operating systems limit our assignments in some areas. Hence, we must use a “virtual machine.” Virtual machines can be produced using simulators and can be used to reinforce basic concepts by giving programming assignments on them.  相似文献

ICT Policy and Implementation in Education: cases in Canada,Northern Ireland and Ireland     

Roger Austin  Bill Hunter 《European Journal of Education》2013,48(1):178-192

Countries with similar levels of economic development often implement different education ICT policies. Much of the existing research attributes such differences to economic and political factors. In this paper, we examine the development of ICT policy and implementation in the two parts of Ireland and in two Canadian provinces and find that historical, social and cultural differences also play an important role in the way ICT policies develop. In particular, we see differing historical perceptions of the role of the state and church in education playing a more important role than has hitherto been recognized.  相似文献

Holistic Media Education: An Assessment of the Effectiveness of a College Course in Media Literacy     

Robert L. Duran  Bill Yousman  Kaitlin M. Walsh  Melanie A. Longshore 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(1):49-68

The general purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a college course in media literacy. Specifically, the course took a holistic approach to media literacy and was designed to heighten college students' awareness of media structures, content, and impact, as well as to encourage students to become more critical/informed participants in the media environment. A pre-test, post-test, control group post-test only, quasi-experimental design was employed to assess the effectiveness of this approach to media literacy education. Overall, students' responses produced significant differences between the control group and the experimental groups' post-test scores on most (but not all) dependent measures. The implications of these results and suggestions for future research were discussed.  相似文献   

Re-reading the reading lesson: episodes in the history of reading pedagogy     

Bill Green  Phillip Cormack  Annette Patterson 《牛津教育评论》2013,39(3):329-344

Reading pedagogy is constantly an object of discussion and debate in contemporary policy and practice but is rarely a matter for historical inquiry. This paper reports from a recent study of the history of reading pedagogy in Australia and beyond. It focuses on a recurring figure in the historical record—the ‘reading lesson’. Presented as a distinctive trope, the reading lesson is traced in its regularity in and through the discourse of reading pedagogy, starting in 1930s Australia and moving back into 19th-century Europe, and with specific reference to the UK and the USA. Teaching reading is expressly identified as a moral project—something that, it can be argued, clearly continues into the present.  相似文献
