Young children teach themselves to read and write     

Jerry Aldridge  Debra Rust 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1987,15(2):29-31

Too often young children are hurried into formal academic tasks before they are ready. This push for abstract reading and writing skills in early childhood settings can actually inhibit young children's language development. However, teachers who allow children to naturally acquire reading and writing provide a print-rich environment that encourages experimentation with language.  相似文献

Are all phonemic awareness tests created equally? A comparison of the Yopp‐Singer and the task of auditory analysis skills (TASS)     

Jerry Wilde  Betty Goerss  Jennifer Wesler 《Journal of Research in Reading》2003,26(3):295-303

This study examined two screening instruments designed to measure phonemic awareness (Test of Auditory Analysis Skills‐TAAS and Yopp‐Singer Test of Phoneme Segmentation). Participants included 25 second‐semester kindergarten children who were administered both instruments. The dependent measure (the STAR Reading Test) was administered in February of their First‐Grade year. The investigation was designed to determine if these instruments are both evaluating the same skills and identify which was more effective in predicting success in reading near the end of First Grade. The children's scores from the Yopp‐Singer and the TAAS were correlated (r=0.56, p<0.01) and so were the scores between the TAAS and STAR (r=0.51, p<0.01). Comparison of scores between the Yopp and the STAR produced non‐significant results (r=0.31). Although the TAAS produced a higher correlation with reading achievement than the Yopp‐Singer, the difference between these two measures failed to reach significance (t=1.16). Implications of these findings, along with possible explanations of the results, are discussed.  相似文献   

Research on technology and teacher education: Current status and future directions     

Jerry Willis  Ann Thompson  William Sadera 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》1999,47(4):29-45

Within the context of a brief history of information technology in teacher education (ITTE), current research on ITTE is reviewed. It is argued that ITTE research can be categorized into three paradigms: empirical, critical, and interpretive. The need for a clear, multi-paradigmatic approach for future work is emphasized. Examples of exemplary work are cited. Conclusions suggest needs for more sharing of information of “islands of excellence” in work on technology in teacher education, more case studies on diffusion of innovation, more emphasis on bias-related findings from critical theory, and more development and dissemination of resources and tools for using technology effectively in teacher education. Recommendations for further work in the area also include emphasizing instructional design (ID) work to create innovations and recognizing the need for grounded, reflective papers on innovative approaches that have been implemented and studied over several years.  相似文献

“This test makes no freaking sense”: Criticism, confusion, and frustration in timed writing     

Jerry   《Assessing Writing》2009,14(3):178-193

Large-scale writing programs can add value to the traditional timed writing assessment by using aspects of the essays to assess the effectiveness of institutional goals, programs, and curriculums. The “six learning goals” prompt in this study represents an attempt to provide an accurate writing assessment that moves beyond scores. This paper focuses on student challenges to the prompt and testing situation to reveal that many students successfully challenge the task as a deliberate strategy, while less savvy test-takers clearly resist in response to anger, confusion or frustration. While only a small minority of test-takers openly protest the prompt or testing situation, the paper suggests that all students could be better prepared to reflect upon their university experience in timed essays through more coaching and experience with reflective impromptu questions. This finding offers both encouragement and caution for writing programs seeking a single test that can generate both placement scores and valuable feedback.  相似文献   

Integrated performance management: A conceptual,system‐based model     

Jerry L. Harbour 《Performance Improvement》2009,48(7):10-14

Organizational success begins with the creativity of strategic vision bounded in the realities of requirements that are then transformed into daily operations and associated work outputs. These operations and outputs hopefully meet predetermined and tracked performance levels. This article graphically portrays and describes an integrated performance management system model linking these critical organizational ingredients in a holistic manner. Integrated performance management represents a construct that, if properly applied, may provide the “glue” to organizational understanding, transparency, and continued improvement.  相似文献   

Considered evaluation of clinical placements in a new medical school     

Jerry Booth  Sarah Collins  Anna Hammond† 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2009,34(1):17-29

This article suggests that quality assessment in the UK has been largely set apart from learning and teaching and reports on a pilot project at the Hull York Medical School which attempted to integrate students’ evaluation of their clinical placements into the curriculum. It outlines the operational demands of this integrated method and compares the student experience of different evaluation methods. It argues that, when properly prepared and considered, evaluation can help students to practise useful skills and suggests that integrating this type of evaluation into the curriculum could be a step towards encouraging academic staff to engage with quality processes.  相似文献
