Direction in AV communication research     

James D. Finn 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》1954,2(2):83-102

Summary To summarize, it has been the thesis of this paper that research in AV communication embraces research in all areas of the social sciences. Possibilities for future research were analyzed under four headings: (a) empirical investigation into classicial-type effects problems, the mass media of communication, areas such as learning which are basic to communication study, and projective and AV testing; (b) conceptualistic investigation into theoretical problems, history, and philosophy; (c) action research embracing technical developments, campaign-type studies, curriculum studies, and organizational surveys; (d) criticism including literary criticism applied to the products of the mass media, scientific criticism, and social value criticism. The directions for AV communication research seem plain enough. The problem is the tremendous distance we have to go. The many possibilities for future AV communication research are analyzed and fruitful suggestions of procedure are discussed. James D. Finn is Associate Professor of Education and Chairman of the Audio-Visual Education Department, University of Southern California. This article is based upon a paper presented at the Research Section meeting of the DAVI National Convention in Chicago in March, 1954. Society not only continues to existby transmission,by communication, but it may fairly be said to existin transmission,in communication. There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication. Men live in a community in virtue of the things which they have in common; and communication is the way in which they come to possess things in common. Persons do not become a society by living in physical proximity … If, however, they were all cognizant of the common end and all interested in it so that they regulated their specific activity in view of it, then they would form a community… Concensus demands communication… Not only is social life identical with communication, but all communication… is educative (11:5–6).  相似文献

What predicts international higher education students’ satisfaction with their study in Ireland?     

Mairéad Finn  Merike Darmody 《Journal of Further & Higher Education》2017,41(4):545-555

The internationalisation of higher education – a facet of broader processes of globalisation – has resulted in increased study-related travel, and the development of policies to attract international students. Nevertheless, in the context of a strong drive to recruit international students, little is known about how they are faring during their study abroad. This article addresses the gap in research, analysing the experiences of international students studying in Irish higher education institutions, drawing on nationally representative data from the Eurostudent IV study. The findings show that students’ satisfaction with study while abroad is shaped by a number of different factors including, first and foremost, their satisfaction with their education institution and subjective rating of their health.  相似文献   

Profiles of reading related skills in dyslexic families     

Torleiv Høien  Ingvar Lundberg  Jan Petter Larsen  Finn Egil Tønnessen 《Reading and writing》1989,1(4):381-392

The aim of the present study was to investigate patterns of similarity in reading related tasks among dyslexic members of the same family. From a sample of 19 well defined dyslexic students in grade 8, three cases were randomly selected for closer examination with a battery of tasks assumed to be causally related to reading. In all selected cases the fathers reported reading disability and in one case the mother was affected as well. The profiles of performance on the various tasks showed a striking similarity within families suggesting similar mechanisms underlying the reading disability. All cases showed remarkable problems in phonological processing, although functional reading skills were almost intact in some cases. Thus, the phonological tasks might be regarded as marker tasks for identifying genetic dyslexia.Requests for reprints should be sent to Torleiv Høien, Center for Reading Research, Stavanger Teacher College, P.B. 2521, Ullandhaug, N-4004 Stavanger, Norway.  相似文献   

Research leadership as entrepreneurial organizing for research     

Finn Hansson  Mette Mønsted 《Higher Education》2008,55(6):651-670

The paper discusses research leadership in public universities under change and the role of entrepreneurial strategies in research. Research leadership function today in situations where the New Public Management movement one the one hand have introduced management by accountability and control in the university while on the other hand open boundaries to other knowledge organizations, arenas and networks, and creation of resources are becoming more important than ever. Hence, an entrepreneurial strategy is more important than traditional managerial skills in order to produce new knowledge centres. By analysing two cases on the construction of new research groups, we will introduce new perspectives on research leadership, where dilemmas, uncertainty and complex relations to other managerial systems in the universities are in the forefront. The paper presents an important contribution to the understanding of a special form of creating new knowledge production in the university by means of organizational entrepreneurship.  相似文献

Multiple,relational and emotional mobilities: Understanding student mobilities in higher education as more than ‘staying local’ and ‘going away’          下载免费PDF全文

Kirsty Finn 《British Educational Research Journal》2017,43(4):743-758

This paper advances theorising around student geographies in higher education (HE). It extends recent work, which has problematised the primacy of social class and binary thinking about student mobilities, and presents local/non‐local experiences and im/mobility as a defining dualism. Drawing on a qualitative longitudinal study of women's experiences during and on completion of HE, the following explores the ways in which a more diverse and constantly negotiated set of mobility practices emerge relationally, in the stratified field of HE, and through shifting personal and emotional attachments. Theoretically, the paper develops a new approach to student mobilities, synthesising dominant Bourdieusian notions of field with relational theories pertaining to mobilities (e.g. Adey, 2009), emotion (e.g. Holmes, 2010) and personal life (e.g. Mason, 2004; Smart, 2007). Such an approach makes it possible to move beyond the binary thinking that has become entrenched in policy and academic debates about student mobilities, and recognise a broader range of movements, flows, stops and starts that emerge relationally, emotionally and temporally as students and graduates move into and through HE. It is argued here that, given the policy emphasis on accelerated and flexible HE provision (BIS, 2016), a gradational view of student mobilities is more important than ever.  相似文献   

2002年初公布的关于玻尔与海森伯会面的文件     

芬·奥瑟若德 《科学文化评论》2008,5(5)

1941年秋天,海森伯与玻尔在哥本哈根会面。由于当事双方都没有留下记录,其缘由、经过、效果,以及对各自心理与身后声名造成的影响,一直以来都是局限于科学史界内讨论的一桩公案。1998年,英国剧作家迈克尔·弗雷恩(Michael Frayn)的《哥本哈根》问世,引发了公众对这个悬案的普遍关注。为了防止公众的误解,2002年2月6日,玻尔家族决定将存放在尼耳斯·玻尔档案馆中的所有11个有关文件提前解密,而不是像先前那样只对极少数研究者开放。从这批文献公布后学术界的不同反应来看,"哥本哈根迷雾"仍然存在。2007年8月,我国研究玻尔的专家戈革教授在生病住院前将所有这些信件译出。考虑到它们在科学史上的重要性,也为了纪念去年底刚去世的戈革教授,我们这里全文刊发他的译文,包括他所翻译的玻尔文献馆馆长芬·奥瑟若德(Finn Aaserud)所写的一个说明。由于原始文献多为并未实际发出去的打印稿或笔录稿,文中个别语句不够连贯,有的文件内容重复,由此也可以体会玻尔在书写或口授这些文件时异常复杂的心情。为了向中文读者提供一个有关这批文献的完整面貌,我们对以上问题未作更多的技术处理。感谢戈革教授的女儿戈疆与北京大学秦克诚先生向我们提供戈革教授的遗稿,秦先生改正了遗稿中的少数笔误。  相似文献

A qualitative study of student responses to body painting     

Gabrielle M. Finn  John C. McLachlan 《Anatomical sciences education》2010,3(1):33-38

One hundred and thirty‐three preclinical medical students participated in 24 focus groups over the period 2007–2009 at Durham University. Focus groups were conducted to ascertain whether or not medical students found body painting anatomical structures to be an educationally beneficial learning activity. Data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Five principal themes emerged: (1) body painting as a fun learning activity, (2) body painting promoting retention of knowledge, (3) factors contributing to the memorability of body painting, (4) removal from comfort zone, and (5) the impact of body painting on students' future clinical practice. Students perceive body painting to be a fun learning activity, which aids their retention of the anatomical knowledge acquired during the session. Sensory factors, such as visual stimuli, especially color, and the tactile nature of the activity, promote recall. Students' preference for painting a peer or being painted is often dependent upon their learning style, but there are educational benefits for both roles. The moderate amounts of undressing involved encouraging students to consider issues surrounding body image; this informs their attitudes towards future patients. Body painting is a useful adjunct to traditional anatomy and clinical skills teaching. The fun element involved in the delivery of this teaching defuses the often formal academic context, which in turn promotes a positive learning environment.
