Curriculum Policy-Making at the School Level: two approaches     

Alan Smithson 《Journal of Philosophy of Education》1981,15(2):215-228

The main burden of this paper is to point up what are considered to be serious shortcomings in Barrow's [1] argument that the 'philosophically competent' head should control a school's curriculum policy. At the same time, whilst exigencies of space prohibit a comprehensive defence of 'participatory decision-making' and its pertinence for schools [2], it will be argued that curriculum policy is best controlled by governing bodies of the type proposed by the Taylor Committee [3], given, of course, that such bodies must operate within a framework of national and local authority policy.  相似文献

Object-naming deficits in developmental dyslexia     

Maggie Snowling  Bente van Wagtendonk  Carolyn Stafford 《Journal of Research in Reading》1988,11(2):67-85

This paper reports two experiments which focus on the object naming deficits of dyslexic readers. In Experiment 1, dyslexic and normal readers were asked to name objects depicted by pictures or following their spoken definition. Ten-year-old dyslexics named fewer objects correctly than other children of a similar age, performing only as well as a younger group of 8-year-old normal readers. This was true irrespective of the modality through which they were tested. In terms of naming latency, however, they were similar to comparison groups. In Experiment 2, nine-year-old dyslexic and normal readers performed as well as each other in a receptive vocabulary test in which pictures had to be matched to spoken words. However, once again, on a picture naming test, the dyslexics did less well than controls. We argue that dyslexic children are subject to verbal naming difficulties which cannot be accounted for by generally low levels of vocabulary knowledge. Their problems are attributable not to difficulties in semantic representation but to difficulties with the lexical-phonological representation of spoken words they know. We propose that, in turn, these difficulties are related to their memory and reading problems.  相似文献   

Boxing clever: using shoeboxes to support home–school knowledge exchange     

Pamela Greenhough  Mary Scanlan  Anthony Feiler  David Johnson  Wan Ching Yee  Jane Andrews  Alison Price  Maggie Smithson  Martin Hughes 《Literacy》2005,39(2):97-103

A key tenet of the Home–School Knowledge Exchange Project is that children's learning will be enhanced if the knowledge and experience that are to be found both at home and in school can be brought together. In this paper we explore ways of connecting home and school to support literacy learning at Key Stage 1, focusing on the home‐to‐school direction. We discuss how shoeboxes, filled with children's artefacts, can support a range of literacy‐related activities in school. It is suggested that the extensive diversity of knowledge and interests reflected in the chosen objects presents teachers with an invaluable opportunity to personalise children's literacy learning.  相似文献

Routes into English teaching: beginning teachers' reflections on college‐based and school‐based Initial Teacher Education programmes     

Jane Coles  Maggie Pitfield 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2006,13(3):283-292

This article compares student and trainee teachers' experiences of three different routes into secondary English teaching: the standard one‐year PGCE; the newer ‘flexible’ PGCE; and the employment‐based Graduate Teacher Programme. As part of a two‐year study involving over 80 beginning teachers the authors invite students and trainees to reflect on the perceived advantages and disadvantages of their chosen route. This article focuses on a small number of interviews with individuals from the sample as they near completion of their training. It sets the findings of the study in the wider political context of New Labour's agenda for school reform and the future development of Initial Teacher Education.  相似文献   

Out of class—out of mind? The use of a virtual learning environment to encourage student engagement in out of class activities     

Maggie Leese 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2009,40(1):70-77

With increasing student numbers and a diverse student body, it is crucial to consider a range of methods to engage students in learning and teaching activities. This project was used to encourage 1st-year undergraduate students to engage in out of class activities between taught sessions. The project used a virtual learning environment (VLE) known as Wolverhampton Online Learning Framework (WOLF) to encourage collaborative working within learning sets. The central aim was to investigate the potential to improve communication and mutual support between students and also to encourage students to make links between taught sessions. They were given weekly tasks that needed to be completed within their learning sets and they then posted the work in folders within WOLF by a set time. This allowed for timely feedback from the tutor and it facilitated sharing of resources across the sets. The final element involved students using their new knowledge to peer-teach the whole group in short presentations at the beginning of the next taught session. Feedback was collected in three ways, including focus groups, module feedback forms and a short questionnaire about the use of the VLE. Overall, the students' feedback was positive and they commented on gaining a number of skills including, using technology, group working and presentations. In addition to this, the overall pass rate for the module was higher and the average student grade had also increased.  相似文献
