Parenting during the Second Year: Effects of Children's Age, Sex, and Attachment Classification   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Beverly I. Fagot  Kate Kavanagh 《Child development》1993,64(1):258-271

70 2-parent families with 12-month-old infants and 67 2-parent families with 18-month-old toddlers participated in the study. Mothers and fathers participated in separate interviews and filled out questionnaires on family and child behaviors. Mothers and their children participated in the Ainsworth Strange Situation, and the families were observed for a total of 4 hours in their homes. Families were compared on composite measures of family environment variables, parents' perception of their children, and on process variables from home observations. Family differences in environmental stress and marital adjustment showed no effects for attachment classifications, although parents of 12-month-olds reported greater marital adjustment and more pleasure in parenting than parents of 18-months-olds. Both mothers and fathers reported that children classified as resistant were more difficult on several temperament measures. During home observations, 12-month-old children received more positive responses from mothers, and 18-month-old children received more instructions and directions from both parents. Insecure boys (both avoidant and resistant) received the least instructions and directions from both parents, but insecure-avoidant girls received the most instruction from fathers.  相似文献   

The social construction of reading strategies: new directions for research     

Kate Parry 《Journal of Research in Reading》1993,16(2):148-158

In recent decades reading research has moved from predominantly quantitative work to more qualitative studies in which individual readers are observed in interaction with texts. Considerable differences have been found in the strategies employed by these readers, especially by those of different social and cultural backgrounds. These diverse strategies can be partly attributed to the different processes by which people learn to read and through the different ways in which they see written texts used in their own social environments; the contrasting situations and strategies of Japanese and Nigerian readers are used to illustrate the point. If teachers are to deal effectively with readers of various cultural backgrounds—as they must do in ESL and EFL classes—they need to know more about such contrasts; more work is therefore needed on the relationship between the literacy practices of cultural communities and the reading strategies of particular individuals.  相似文献   

Mature student markets: An institutional case study     

Loraine Blaxter  Kate Dodd  Malcolm Tight 《Higher Education》1996,31(2):187-203

Warwick University, a research-led institution, has, in common with other universities, sought to expand its provision for mature students by developing new part-time and full-time degree programmes. Separate but related research projects have surveyed the students involved, looking at their characteristics, educational backgrounds and study purposes. This paper examines the extent to which distinct or overlapping markets for mature students are catered for by the different degree programmes offered.  相似文献   

Modelling reality in mathematics classrooms: The case of word problems     

Brian Greer 《Learning and Instruction》1997,7(4):293-307

An abundance of recent research, in many countries, has documented a very widespread tendency of children to answer school mathematics word problems with apparent disregard for the reality of the situations described by the text of these problems. Analysis of this behaviour strongly suggests that an explanation is not to be found in some cognitive deficit of the children, but rather in the culture of the classroom wherein word problems are presented in stereotyped fashion, with an implicit assumption that a solution involving the application of one or more of the basic arithmetical operations to the numbers mentioned in the text is appropriate and unproblematical. Taking such contextual influences into account, the observed behaviour of the children may be considered a reasonable response. An alternative conceptualisation of word problems, as situations calling for mathematical modelling taking into account real-world knowledge where appropriate, is proposed, with suggestions as to how it could be implemented.  相似文献   

ENTERPRISE AWARENESS IN TEACHER EDUCATION (EATE)     

Kate M. Bullock  William A. H. Scott 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》1990,15(3):232-240

This paper sets out the rationale underpinning the setting up, delivery and evaluation of a major initiative in initial teacher education. The purpose of Enterprise Awareness in Teacher Education (EATE) is to incorporate enterprise, economic and industrial issues into all initial courses for trainee teachers. This is facilitated through an extensive programme of staff development. The article then goes on to record the processes and thinking behind one level of the evaluation of the initiative which has been incorporated into individual developments in institutions from the outset  相似文献

Homophobic and transphobic bullying: barriers and supports to school intervention     

Kate O’Donoghue 《Sex education》2017,17(2):220-234

This study explores the perceived barriers and supports identified by school staff in tackling homophobic and transphobic bullying, using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model as a framework. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from five separate second-level/high schools (two designated disadvantaged schools, and three non-disadvantaged schools), within an area of Dublin, Ireland. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the resulting data. Findings indicated that the main barriers in tackling homophobic and transphobic bullying included students’ perceived discomfort in discussing their sexuality with teachers, teachers’ discomfort in discussing issues (including an associated lack of training), a lack of priority given to these types of bullying, and parental views on homosexuality. Perceived supports included consistency in dealing with these types of bullying, appropriate training, and support from management. Relationships were also evidenced between some perceived barriers and supports, with the absence of these factors being perceived as a barrier, while their presence was perceived as a support. Findings are considered within the context of previous research. The strengths and limitations of the study are discussed, as are its practice implications, and implications for possible future research.  相似文献

Students’ unions,consumerism and the neo-liberal university     

Rachel Brooks  Kate Byford  Katherine Sela 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2016,37(8):1211-1228

This article explores the economic relationships between individual students’ unions and their wider institutions, and the ways in which they articulate with a pervasive consumerist agenda across the higher education sector. We draw on data from a UK-wide study to argue that students’ unions have an ambivalent relationship with consumerist discourses: on the one hand, they often reject the premise that the higher education student is best conceptualised as a consumer; yet, on the other, they frequently accept aspects of consumerism as a means of, for example, trying to protect their independence and autonomy. We explore whether this particular form of positioning with respect to consumerism is best conceptualised as a form of resistance, or whether it has become extremely difficult for students’ unions to take up any other position in a system that is driven by market logic.  相似文献
