A series of interviews and classroom observations were conducted with a group of in-service science teachers, students, school
principal, and computer lab supervisors, from a “Discovery” female school in Jordan to assess their utilization of information
and communication technology (ICT) in teaching science. The study also intended to determine how these participants were using
ICT and if they had any internal and external impediments in the way of the effective integration of ICT in the teaching of
science. Results showed that some participants were using ICT creatively in their science teaching. However, despite considerable
political pressure to increase ICT use in the classroom, most expressed frustration at the lack of ICT tools, support from
the school, from the Ministry of Education, and from the surrounding community. The article proposes possible resolutions
to help these participants overcome their impediments. Some of the suggested resolutions for the internal impediments include
involving teachers in preparing the school’s time-table, equipping the school with more ICT tools and offering more training
courses for teachers. However, the suggested resolutions for the external impediments involve (1) The Ministry of Education
to rethink the administration of board examinations, (2) The school to sacrifice scoring higher in board examinations for
preparing more creative and more versatile students’ perspectives. 相似文献

Research indicates that the performance-gap between English Language Learners (ELLs) and their non-ELL peers is partly due to ELLs' difficulty in understanding assessment language. Accommodations have been shown to narrow this performance-gap, but many accommodations studies have not used a randomized design and are based on relatively small sample sizes. Addressing such issues, we administered a standard-based mathematics assessment to approximately 3,000 Grade 9 ELL and non-ELL students under five different language-based accommodations. Results indicate that many of these accommodations did not produce significant gains for the recipients. Some even had a negative impact. We believe several factors may explain these findings. First, newer assessments, including those developed for this study, may have been linguistically modified to the point that further modification has only a limited effect. Second, the language of instruction may have not adequately prepared students for the assessment. If the language of instruction (textbook, etc.) contains unnecessary linguistic complexity, then students may not have had the opportunity to learn the assessed content. A third factor is students’ unfamiliarity with these accommodations because they are seldom used in classroom instruction and teacher assessments. We discuss our findings and implications for policymakers, assessment developers, practitioners, and researchers. 相似文献

Artificial neural network (ANN) has been used in several engineering application areas including civil engineering. The use of ANN to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete (R/C) members, using the vast amount of experimental data as a test-bed for learning and verification of results, proved to be a viable method for carrying out parametric studies. This paper presents application of ANN for predicting the shear resistance of rectangular R/C beams. Six parameters that influence the shear resistance of beams, mainly shear-span-to-depth ratio, concrete strength, longitudinal reinforcement, shear reinforcement, beam depth and beam width, are used as input for the ANN. A back propagation neural network (BPNN) with different activation functions is used and their results are compared. The sigmoid function with variable threshold is adopted due to its accuracy of prediction. The ANN prediction and the measured experimental values are compared with the shear strength predictions of ACI318-02 and BS8110 codes. A sensitivity study of the parameters that affect shear strength of R/C beams is carried out and the underlying complex nonlinear relationships among these parameters were investigated. Shear response curves and surfaces based on these parameters were generated. It is concluded that ANN can predict, to a great degree of accuracy, the shear resistance of rectangular R/C beams and it is a viable tool for carrying out parametric study of shear behavior of R/C beams. 相似文献

This article draws on an analysis of the narratives of Australian young Muslim women to explore their higher education experiences and aspirations. The article aims to explore the notion of agency employed by Muslim female university students in relation to the ways they discover their own capabilities along their deployment of available financial, cultural and social resources under cultural and structural constrains. The women’s accounts suggest that pursuit of higher education is highly perceived as a key to girls’ success and economic independence in the present precarious neoliberal environment yet concerns over Islamophobia and gender and racial discrimination which may curtail employment opportunities are present. The research findings also suggest that educational outcomes entail complex forms of negotiation, bargaining and resistance, stressing the ways in which class, gender, ethnicity and religion interrelate. 相似文献

This paper analyses the kinds of capital, practices and investments that are implicated in the participation of migrant mothers in the educational careers of their children, drawing on a Bourdieusian framework. We present findings of a study of Muslim Iraqi mothers with school-aged children in Australia, based on 47 interviews with 25 participants. The study identifies different modes of involvement in children’s education and connects these to mothers’ cultural and social capital. Involvement, and its effectiveness, is analysed through the analytical categories of (i) high capital-high involvement; (ii) low capital-high involvement; and (iii) low capital-minimal direct involvement. The paper contributes to the theorisation of family–school relations in the context of migration, and develops a more nuanced perspective for studying social class positioning and repositioning. 相似文献

This paper decribes an investigation into the use of audio-visual aids in teaching in the intermediate stage schools for girls, which are run by the General Presidency for Girls'Eudcation. Questionnaire data were collected and analysed and various factors were found to influence the use/non-use of audio-visual aids. It makes recommendations, which, if adopted, would increase the use of audio-visual aids in Saudi intermediate schools for girls, and stimulate the teaching-learning process. 相似文献

AbstractThe swelling discourses on organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) have diffused into areas of management and organisational research. The existing literature encapsulates that trust will mediate the relationship between the three dimensions of organisational justice: procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice and OCB. Based on the literature discussions, several hypotheses were proposed and conceptual framework was formulated. A total of 411 teachers had responded and participated in the survey. The collected data were analysed using Smart Partial Least Square software. Vigorous two-stage analytical procedure was adopted. The statistical results indicated that trust significantly mediates the relationship between organisational justice and OCB as well as the dimensions of organisational justice and OCB with various degrees of mediating effects. These findings have provided new insights in the organisational behaviour discipline and shed light on trust’s mediation in the relationship of organisational justice and OCB. 相似文献

Malignant gliomas are the most devastating tumors in clinical practice and nave poorest survival, Immunological treatment of such patients may likely increase the survival and quality of life. Dendritic cells （DCs）, most potent antigen presenting cells in combination with oral chemotherapeutic agents may be tried for patients giving consent to such treatment. We have successfully combined the two therapies in an adult male patient who was on downhill course after being operated on once with post operation chemotherapy and radiotherapy for glioma in the left parietal area. He received five dendritic cell therapy vaccines in combination with oral chemotherapy and responded dramatically having near normal quality of life for an additional five months with this regime, increasing the survival after operation to 11 months. This therapy is continuing with radiological betterment of the lesion. The DCs are matured with antigen extracted from wax embedded tissue at 6th day of culture. We feel that the treatment can be given to more number of patients to establish its efficacy for the dreaded cancer glioblastoma multiforme. 相似文献
