Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable: a narrative account of becoming an academic developer     

Jeanette M Fyffe 《International Journal for Academic Development》2018,23(4):355-366

This article uses a narrative retelling of my journey to academic development to offer a new insight into induction initiatives: alongside a critical commitment to student learning, new academic developers need to build an informed and scholarly ‘idea of the university’. As universities renew focus on teaching and learning, student retention, and success, there is a corollary increase in new academic developers. Newcomers need a full picture of the field; induction that focuses on the narrow institutional context and aspects of best practice is unlikely to fully prepare new academic developers for tensions they may encounter.  相似文献   

Building the open road: The NREN as a test-bed for the National Public Network     

Mitchell Kapor  Jerry Berman 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》1992,1(4):231-242

While the National Research and Education Network will meet the computer and communication needs of scientists, researchers, and educators, its implementation should also be used as an opportunity to extend the benefits of public networking technology to new groups of users. If built in a competitive environment, according to the principles of open interconnection, adherence to nonproprietary standards, common carriage, easy-to-use user interfaces, and respect for personal privacy, the NREN could demonstrate the great potential of public broadband networks in the future. As policy makers debate the role of the public telephone and other existing information networks in the nation's information infrastructure, the NREN can serve as a working test-bed for new technologies, applications, and governing policies that will ultimately shape the growing National Public Network.This paper was originally written in September 1991, so legislative citations are not all to the latest version of NREN legislation.The authors wish to thank Art Kleiner and Danny Weitzner for contributing to the writing of this article. A version of the article will be published in Building Information Infrastructure: Issues in the Development of the National Research and Education Network (B. Kahin, ed., McGraw-Hill), a collection of papers from a symposium sponsored by the Science, Technology and Public Policy Program and Strategic Computing and Telecommunications in the Public Sector Program of the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.  相似文献   

Visual orienting in college athletes: explorations of athlete type and gender     

Lum J  Enns JT  Pratt J 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2002,73(2):156-167

Covert orienting was measured in 50 college athletes and 51 nonathletes of both genders. Visual environments of the sports were both static (swimming, track) and dynamic (soccer, volleyball). Participants made speeded responses in a task measuring vigilance, alerting, automatic orienting, voluntary orienting, modulation of automatic orienting, and modulation of inhibition of return. Gender differences werefound in the overall response times of nonathletes and in the alerting measures for all participants. However, all participants were similar in their automatic orienting. Sport-specific effects were seen in voluntary orienting and in the modulation of automatic orienting. These gender and sports-related findings are interpreted in light of the experience athletes have in the dynamic control of spatial attention.  相似文献   

One Thing Behind Another: a school based study of children's drawing abilities     

Leslie Smith  Jeanette Campbell 《教育心理学》1987,7(4):283-293

Abstract Young children do not typically represent in their drawings the occlusion of a farther object by a nearer one. In response to such arrays, they frequently show either a horizontal or a vertical bias, i.e. either depicting the two objects side by side or one above the other. Though there seems to be a strong bias towards depicting array‐ rather than view‐specific information, this tendency does not seem to indicate any limitation in graphic skills. This experiment attempts to assess the differences in drawing response across two conditions—one which seems to demand view specificity, i.e. a games condition, and one which apparently does not. In a communication game, the drawings were produced by one child, designated as ‘Artist’, so that the other child, assigned to the role of ‘Detective’, could identify the chair which the ‘Artist’ had sat on. It is suggested that instructional effects, together with initial decisions to communicate with peers or adults, may be implicated in the relatively greater incidence of occlusion output in the standard over the games condition, particularly in the middle age ranges.  相似文献

Exploring the Co‐Development of Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension: A Twin Study          下载免费PDF全文

Callie W. Little  Sara A. Hart  Jamie M. Quinn  Elliot M. Tucker‐Drob  Jeanette Taylor  Christopher Schatschneider 《Child development》2017,88(3):934-945

This study explores the co‐development of two related but separate reading skills, reading fluency and reading comprehension, across Grades 1–4. A bivariate biometric dual change score model was applied to longitudinal data collected from 1,784 twin pairs between the ages of 6 and 10 years. Grade 1 skills were influenced by highly overlapping genetic and environmental factors. Growth in both skills was influenced by highly overlapping shared environmental factors. Cross‐lagged parameters indicated bidirectional effects, with stronger effects from fluency to comprehension change than from comprehension to fluency change.  相似文献

In this interview, Sanford (“Sandy”) Berman discusses his career and his efforts to promote responsive, user-friendly cataloging practices over uncritical deference to prevailing standards. Topics covered include his work at Hennepin County Library, his thoughts on the campaign to change the subject heading “Illegal aliens,” his ongoing practice of proposing new Library of Congress Subject Headings, and his relationship with the Library of Congress.  相似文献   

When will the Internet be connected? Digital worlds and belonging in the lives of globally mobile children          下载免费PDF全文

Jeanette Hannaford  Catherine Beavis 《Literacy》2018,52(1):47-54

Increasing numbers of children are caught up in global flows of moving peoples. This movement may be voluntary or forced and is experienced within a range of settings. Coming from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and moving around the world due to their parents' employment, the children found in traditional International Schools are a case in point. This paper focuses on the experiences of two sisters in the first year of their family's global relocation. In the midst of change, the digital world Club Penguin? offered these two globally mobile children a familiar and welcome site of continuity and belonging. This exploration of the role of digital worlds and digital literacies in these girls' experience contributes to an understanding of connections between global movement and digital literacy practices. Greater awareness of the significance of digital literacies in globally mobile children's lives provides fresh insights into how children participate in digital spaces and has implications for literacy educators supporting young people in contemporary times.  相似文献
