Hong Kong parents and their children’s music training: measurement properties of the Parental Involvement in Music Training Questionnaire     

Dianne M. Tai  Shane N. Phillipson 《教育心理学》2018,38(5):633-647

Many Hong Kong-Chinese parents are active in their support for their children’s music training. To better understand this support, the Parental Involvement in Music Training Questionnaire (PIMTQ) is designed to measure the variability in parental involvement in their children’s music training. This study begins by exploring the factor structure of the PIMTQ and then establishes its measurement properties using Rasch modelling. Two hundred and ninety-five Hong Kong-Chinese parents completed a Chinese version of the 42-item instrument with principal components analysis of the responses showing seven factors. However, Rasch modelling showed that two of the five factors (Family Music Background and Family Music Interest) are unable to reliably predict variability in parent responses. We conclude, however, that the remaining five factors (Parental Support Toward Music Training, Parental Expectations, Home Music Environment, Music Programme Support and Attitude Toward Music) of the PIMTQ can be used as subscales to measure the involvement of Hong Kong-Chinese parents in their children’s music training.  相似文献

Types of Two-Dimensional Pendulums and Their Uses in Education     

Whitaker  Robert J. 《Science & Education》2004,13(4-5):401-415

Pendulums which swing in two dimensions simultaneously and aredesigned to leave a record of their motion are termed `harmonographs'.The curves which they draw are known, alternatively, as `Bowditchcurves' or `Lissajous curves'. A variety of designs of harmonographshave been invented over the years. These may be a `Y-suspended'`simple' pendulum, or they may be a complex `physical' pendulumsystem. Harmonographs have been built as demonstration apparatusin physics (or mathematics) or as `art' machines for enjoying theaesthetics of the curves produced.  相似文献   

The politics of student voice: unravelling the multiple discourses articulated in schools     

Jennifer Charteris  Dianne Smardon 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2019,49(1):93-110

For almost two decades student voice has been used and enacted in educational settings for a range of purposes. Student voice theorists have framed it in sociocultural, social constructionist and poststructural terms. It has been located in a range of schooling discourses and there have been powerful critiques of instrumentalist uses of student voice. It has been reified for its potential to leverage schooling reform, associated with accountability, governmentality and technologies of control, and also heralded as a process to activate radical collegiality in educational settings. This article investigates how school leaders from Aotearoa/New Zealand discursively locate the complex and contested construct of student voice in their schooling settings. Drawing data from principal interviews, discourses inherent in school leader comments are analysed to consider the contribution of student voice. A consideration is provided of how young people are ascribed positions as agents in contemporary Aotearoa schools.  相似文献   

Interaction of factors related to lactation duration     

Boettcher JP  Chezem JC  Roepke J  Whitaker TA 《The Journal of perinatal education》1999,8(2):11-19

Perceived social support and interpersonal dependency were studied as potential factors associated with lactation duration based upon previous breastfeeding experience. Inexperienced breastfeeding mothers perceived more social support than experienced breastfeeding mothers did. Perceived social support was not significantly correlated with lactation duration. An ancillary finding was that women providing a combination of breast milk and human milk substitutes had significantly lower social self-confidence than did mothers providing breast milk exclusively.  相似文献   

“Maybe That Helps Folks Feel Better About What They're Doing”: Examining Contradictions Between Educator Presumptions,Student Experiences,and Outcomes at an Alternative School     

Brianna L. Kennedy-Lewis  Douglas Whitaker  Olivia Soutullo 《Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk》2016,21(4):230-245

The use of alternative schools as exclusionary discipline for students found guilty of committing behavioral infractions raises questions about the effectiveness of these schools in producing improved student outcomes. Educators' justifications for alternative placements are highly relevant, because decisions regarding placements are often subjective and based on ill-defined criteria. This mixed-methods study investigates educators' perceptions of one disciplinary alternative school in the Southeast and educators' justifications for its use. The study examines the district's alternative school students' outcome data and analyzes whether these data support educators' explanations for why they assign students to the alternative school. Findings show that educators often hold mixed beliefs about alternative schools, seeing them as both a punishment and as providing needed support and services. Students, however, do not demonstrate dramatically different academic or behavioral performance as a result of their placement, bringing into question educators' justifications for placing students in these schools.  相似文献   

The Mentoring Profile Inventory: an online professional development resource for cooperating teachers     

Anthony Clarke  John Collins  Valerie Triggs  Wendy Nielsen  Ann Augustine  Dianne Coulter 《Teaching Education》2013,24(2):167-194

We report on the origins, development and refinement of an online inventory to help cooperating teachers focus on selected dimensions of their practice. The Mentoring Profile Inventory (MPI) helps quantify important features of both the motivating and challenging aspects of mentoring student teachers and provides results to respondents in a graphic, easy-to-understand and immediate feedback report (14 sub-scales and 3 summary charts). Psychometric properties of the MPI are shown to be robust. Results can be used individually or collectively to facilitate cooperating teacher professional development by providing the opportunity for dialog around a set of common issues.  相似文献
