The Role of Historical-Philosophical Controversies in Teaching Sciences: The Debate Between Biot and Ampère     

Marco Braga  Andreia Guerra  José Claudio Reis 《Science & Education》2012,21(6):921-934

This paper evaluates the viability of using controversies in teaching. An educational project has been elaborated in which some historical-philosophical clashes were introduced into the classical syllabus of physics. The historical-philosophical controversy dealt with here, took place between the French physicists Biot and Ampère in the 19th century and referred to distinct interpretations of the Oersted experiment. This controversy was inserted into the syllabus of the 12th grade of a Brazilian secondary school.  相似文献   

The Name of the Rose: A Path to Discuss the Birth of Modern Science     

Andreia Guerra  Marco Braga 《Science & Education》2014,23(3):643-654

Various science education researchers believe that science tuition should include some discussion about how science has developed over time. Therefore, deliberations about the nature of science should be integrated in the science curriculum. Many researchers argue that teaching the history of science is a good way to place the nature of science in science classes. This paper contributes to this debate and argues the importance of having young students study the birth of modern science. Such study could allow students to understand that some of the issues about the nature of science arose in the seventeenth century with the birth of modern science. To achieve this purpose, it is important to discuss the different factors that immersed the birth of modern science. To accomplish this goal, the novel The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco may be used. Beyond introducing issues surrounding the nature of science, this strategy could help overcome the separation between the arts and humanities in education.  相似文献

Changes in Sensory Dominance During Childhood: Converging Evidence From the Colavita Effect and the Sound‐Induced Flash Illusion     

Elena Nava  Francesco Pavani 《Child development》2013,84(2):604-616

In human adults, visual dominance emerges in several multisensory tasks. In children, auditory dominance has been reported up to 4 years of age. To establish when sensory dominance changes during development, 41 children (6–7, 9–10, and 11–12 years) were tested on the Colavita task (Experiment 1) and 32 children (6–7, 9–10, and 11–12 years) were tested on the sound‐induced flash illusion (Experiment 2). In both experiments, an auditory dominance emerged in 6‐ to 7‐year‐old children compared to older children. Adult‐like visual dominance started to emerge from 9 to 10 years of age, and consolidated in 11‐ to 12‐year‐old children. These findings show that auditory dominance persists up to 6 years, but switches to visual dominance during the first school years.  相似文献

Preventive Conservation Applied to Wallpaintings in a Desert Environment in Mexico     

Denise Charua-Ayala  Rosario Guerra  Clotilde Lemoine  Federico Cambieri  Nora A. Pérez  José Luis Ruvalcaba-Sil 《文物保护研究》2018,63(5):51-57

ABSTRACT

The church of San Diego de Alcalá, located in Pitiquito, Sonora , in Mexico, lies on a missionary road founded by the Jesuit Eusebio F. Kino, which, with the expulsion of the Jesuit order in 1767, passed into the care of the Franciscans. It contains wallpaintings which presented deterioration problems whose cause was not easy to determine, since the damage appeared to be inconsistent with the techniques used and the environmental conditions. With an interdisciplinary team, a methodology was designed for a combined study of the environment of the church and its wallpaintings. Thermal imaging of the exterior and interior walls indicated that the building was made up of different materials, and the junctions between them explained the different deterioration pathologies between one zone and another. Hydrological maps for groundwater in the locality were studied, to elucidate the presence of water in a desert zone; abundant sources of water in the subsoil were identified, which, because of overexploitation of the land, have been diminishing over time. This allowed the elaboration of a plan for site management, through the identification of those deterioration factors that can be mitigated by simple maintenance actions that are inherent to the environment and the materials, which enabled a scheduled maintenance scheme to be implemented. This improved the condition of the building and its wallpaintings, while reducing the resource invested to achieve this goal.  相似文献

弗兰西斯科·索夫  杨燕燕 《外国教育研究》2005,32(5):57-60

“教育效能与教育评价”课程以个人的、团队的、组织的(PTO)效能和规划、实施与评价(PIE)代表其内容与过程的主要结构。教师以双语教学——中英文的阅读材料、学习指南、课程纲要和视听讲座的形式，采取具有高度互动性的学习方式，如个人与小组层次的讨论、比赛、模拟、奖励、批判性反思，向50名来自中小学、大学和行政机关的高层教育领导者授课，以增加课程的效能。文章所展示的就是如何应用课程中有关效能与评价的基本原理评价这一课程本身的效能。  相似文献   

Environmental Learning of Social Cues: Evidence From Enhanced Gaze Cueing in Deaf Children     

Francesco Pavani  Marta Venturini  Francesca Baruffaldi  Maria Cristina Caselli  Wieske van Zoest 《Child development》2019,90(5):1525-1534

The susceptibility to gaze cueing in deaf children aged 7–14 years old (N = 16) was tested using a nonlinguistic task. Participants performed a peripheral shape-discrimination task, whereas uninformative central gaze cues validly or invalidly cued the location of the target. To assess the role of sign language experience and bilingualism in deaf participants, three groups of age-matched hearing children were recruited: bimodal bilinguals (vocal and sign-language, N = 19), unimodal bilinguals (two vocal languages, N = 17), and monolinguals (N = 14). Although all groups showed a gaze-cueing effect and were faster to respond to validly than invalidly cued targets, this effect was twice as large in deaf participants. This result shows that atypical sensory experience can tune the saliency of a fundamental social cue.  相似文献
