Core Competencies: The Challenge For Graduate Peace and Conflict Studies Education     

John Windmueller  Ellen Kabcenell Wayne  Johannes Botes 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》2009,21(3):285-301

This article uses a case study of the assessment of a graduate program in negotiations and conflict management as a springboard for discussing several critical, but unanswered questions in our field. It raises questions regarding the lack of clear core competencies and expectations regarding curricula at the graduate-level of peace and conflict studies programs, as well as concerns over how educators in this field can or should assess their own work and train students for practice. It also addresses, via a comparative case analysis in Tajikistan, the degree to which the competencies and pedagogical approaches in this field are culturally bound. The picture that emerges from these case studies suggests that there have been important omissions in the way that the varied educational programs and the larger peace and conflict studies field itself have developed thus far.  相似文献

Parent Involvement,Influence, and Satisfaction in Magnet Schools: Do Reasons for Choice Matter?     

Hausman  Charles  Goldring  Ellen 《The Urban Review》2000,32(2):105-121

This paper explores the relationships between parents' reasons for choosing a magnet school and their levels of satisfaction, involvement, and influence with the school. Data are reported from over a thousand magnet school parents in two urban districts. The results suggest three general findings: (1) As reported in previous research, magnet school parents choose schools for a wide array of reasons and are highly satisfied with their chosen school; (2) parents' reasons for choice are important predictors of their levels of satisfaction, influence, and involvement with the school; and (3) parents who choose for values reasons, as compared to other reasons, are more likely to be involved in and satisfied with their school of choice and report that parents have influence over school decisions.  相似文献   

The TREC-5 Confusion Track: Comparing Retrieval Methods for Scanned Text   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Paul B. Kantor  Ellen M. Voorhees 《Information Retrieval》2000,2(2-3):165-176

A known-item search is a particular information retrieval task in which the system is asked to find a single target document in a large document set. The TREC-5 confusion track used a set of 49 known-item tasks to study the impact of data corruption on retrieval system performance. Two corrupted versions of a 55,600 document corpus whose true content was known were created by applying OCR techniques to page images. The first version of the corpus used the page images as scanned, resulting in an estimated character error rate of approximately 5%. The second version used page images that had been down-sampled, resulting in an estimated character error rate of approximately 20%. The true text and each of the corrupted versions were then searched using the same set of 49 questions. In general, retrieval methods that attempted a probabilistic reconstruction of the original clean text fared better than methods that simply accepted corrupted versions of the query text.  相似文献

University of California Peer Review System and Post-tenure Evaluation     

Ellen Switkes 《Innovative Higher Education》1999,24(1):39-48

The peer review system at all campuses of the University of California is a long standing program of pre- and post-tenure evaluation. All faculty are reviewed on a schedule of 2 to 4 years by department colleagues, the dean, and a campus faculty committee which normally results in a merit increase. This system of pre- and post-tenure review throughout a faculty members' career poses a substantial workload for faculty, departments, and the campus; but it is regarded by faculty and campus administrators as crucial to maintaining a faculty of very high quality. This article describes the well-established review process, which may provide ideas for those institutions planning on enhancing their approaches to peer review .  相似文献   

From Positive Reinforcement to Positive Behaviors: An Everyday Guide for the Practitioner     

Ellen?A.?SiglerEmail author  Shirley?Aamidor 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2005,32(4):249-253

There are various opinions concerning the value of positive reinforcement when discussing modifying behaviors of young children. In some cases, individuals considered positive reinforcement difficult to implement and, in extreme cases, even felt it to be detrimental. Educators often use praise interchangeably with positive reinforcement when indeed an important distinction exists between the two. This paper discusses the differences between positive reinforcement and praise and demonstrates how to effectively apply positive reinforcement to help manage behavior of young children.  相似文献
