Development and Initial Psychometric Assessment of the Plant Attitude Questionnaire   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jana Fančovičová  Pavol Prokop 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2010,19(5):415-421

Plants are integral parts of ecosystems which determine life on Earth. People’s attitudes toward them are however, largely overlooked. Here we present initial psychometric assessment of self-constructed Plant Attitude Scale (PAS) that was administered to a sample of 310 Slovakian students living in rural areas aged 10–15 years. The final version of PAS consists from 29 Likert-scale items that were loaded to four distinct dimensions (Interest, Importance, Urban trees and Utilization). Mean scores revealed that Slovakian students lack positive attitudes toward plants and that gender had no effect on their mean attitude scores. Living in a family with a garden was associated with a more positive attitude toward plants. Further correlative research on diverse samples containing urban children and experimental research examining the impact of gardening in schools on student attitudes toward plants is required.  相似文献   

Poetic Principles and Practice : Edgar Allan Poe“The Raiven”     

Jana Aksjukova 《海外英语》2014,(4):229-231

The article deals with Edgar Allan Poe's essay" The Poetic Principle", where the explanation of the Poe's theory will be discussed. The formulation of the theory always raises the question of its applicability, especially on the part of its originator, therefore, the purpose of this article will scrutinise to what extent Edgar Allan Poe stuck to his own principles. The method of comparative analysis will be applied.  相似文献

What Students Want: A Vision of a Future Online Learning Experience Grounded in Distance Education Theory     

Rick L. Shearer  Tugce Aldemir  Jana Hitchcock  Jessie Resig  Jessica Driver  Megan Kohler 《The American journal of distance education》2020,34(1):36-52

ABSTRACT

As online learning continues to evolve many have proposed that we think differently about our pedagogical approaches, to move beyond the replication of the face-to-face experience. Here we explore the student and faculty visions of the future using a Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation (ZMET) method that uses images to metaphorically represent how individuals feel or relate to particular concepts. Focus group interviews with a small sample of faculty and students suggest a desire for a more personalized learning experience, but one that is still highly social within learning communities.  相似文献   

Interaction between prey and mutually interfering predator in prey reserve habitat: Pattern formation and the Turing–Hopf bifurcation     

Jai Prakash Tripathi  Syed Abbas  Gui-Quan Sun  Debaldev Jana  Cui-Hua Wang 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2018,355(15):7466-7489

In this paper, we propose a diffusive prey-predator system with mutually interfering predator (Crowley–Martin functional response) and prey reserve. In particular, we develop and analyze both spatially homogeneous model based on ordinary differential equations and reaction-diffusion model. We mainly investigate the global existence and boundedness of positive solution, stability properties of homogeneous steady state, non-existence of non-constant positive steady state, conditions for Turing instability and Hopf bifurcation of the diffusive system analytically. Conventional stability properties of the non-spatial counterpart of the system are also studied. The analysis ensures that the prey reserve leaves stabilizing effect on the stability of temporal system. The prey reserve and diffusive parameters leave parallel impact on the stability of the spatio-temporal system. Furthermore, we illustrate the spatial patterns via numerical simulations, which show that the model dynamics exhibits diffusion controlled pattern formation by different interesting patterns.  相似文献   

Social media: How the next generation can practice argumentation     

Amber Rowland  Jana Craig-Hare  Marilyn Ault  James Ellis  Janis Bulgren 《Educational Media International》2017,54(2):99-111

In this article the authors share how social media, paired with gaming and in-class supports, can facilitate the practice of scientific argumentation and report data that show how students can learn and practice argumentation through these highly interactive and engaging mediums. Social media will continue to evolve and fluctuate in popularity, but no matter the service or software, there will continue to be online spaces for communication, collaboration, learning, and future career growth. Since the role of education is to prepare students to be college and career ready, the use of social media as a component of schooling should be explored. This work has parsed out specific strategies and methods to support higher order thinking through gaming and social media.  相似文献

Using food as a tool to teach science to 3 grade students in Appalachian Ohio     

Duffrin MW  Hovland J  Carraway-Stage V  McLeod S  Duffrin C  Phillips S  Rivera D  Saum D  Johanson G  Graham A  Lee T  Bosse M  Berryman D 《Journal of Food Science Education》2010,9(2):41-46

The Food, Math, and Science Teaching Enhancement Resource (FoodMASTER) Initiative is a compilation of programs aimed at using food as a tool to teach mathematics and science. In 2007-2008, a foods curriculum developed by professionals in nutrition and education was implemented in 10 3(rd)-grade classrooms in Appalachian Ohio; teachers in these classrooms implemented 45 hands-on foods activities that covered 10 food topics. Subjects included measurement; food safety; vegetables; fruits; milk and cheese; meat, poultry, and fish; eggs; fats; grains; and meal management. Students in four other classrooms served as the control group. Mainstream 3(rd)-grade students were targeted because of their receptiveness to the subject matter, science standards for upper elementary grades, and testing that the students would undergo in 4(th) grade. Teachers and students alike reported that the hands-on FoodMASTER curriculum experience was worthwhile and enjoyable. Our initial classroom observation indicated that the majority of students, girls and boys included, were very excited about the activities, became increasingly interested in the subject matter of food, and were able to conduct scientific observations.  相似文献
