In practice: Expanding the first-year experience: A report from Hamline University     

Marilyn J. Deppe  F. Garvin Davenport 《About Campus》1996,1(4):27-30

As part of an overall effort to bring together academic and campus learning, Hamline is working on expanding its First-Year Seminar to include the broad range of student learning experiences—from residential life and work-study to academic development and career advising. The two cochairs of the First-Year Experience Task Force explain how this project is unfolding and illuminate both the challenges and the successes.  相似文献   

Changing organizations by changing individuals: A model of leadership training     

Paula Jorde Bloom  Marilyn Sheerer 《The Urban Review》1992,24(4):263-286

Through a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services, National-Louis University delivered a leadership training program to Head Start personnel in the Chicago Metropolitan Area. The model, which was grounded in adult learning theory, encouraged a facilitative role for the teaching faculty, active decision-making on the part of the participants, collegial support, and linkages between theory and practice. A social systems approach was used to promote the idea of leaders as change agents.The effectiveness of the training model was assessed through the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods. Results indicated that the training had a positive effect on participants' level of perceived competence, the quality of teaching practices in their classrooms, and the organizational climate of their centers. Additionally, case study data documented feelings of increased self-confidence and self-efficacy on the part of participants. Outcomes suggest that this training model improved the expertise of Head Start directors and teachers and promoted substantive change and improvement in their centers.Some of these data were presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, San Francisco, April 1992.  相似文献   

Effects on children's achievement and curiosity of variations in learner control over an interactive video lesson     

Marilyn P. Arnone  Barbara L. Grabowski 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》1992,40(1):15-27

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of variations in learner control on children's level of curiosity and learning from computer-based interactive video (CBIV). The content was presented as a videodisc visit to an art museum and contained both facts and concepts. A posttest-only control group design was employed with 101 first-and second-grade subjects randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions—Program Control, Learner Control, Learner Control with Advisement—or a control group. The dependent variables were achievement and three measures of curiosity. Children in the Learner Control with Advisement group scored significantly higher on the achievement posttest than the Learner Control subjects or control group. No differences were found between the Program Control and either of the Learner Control groups. For the curiosity measures, the Learner Control with Advisement subjects scored significantly higher than the control group on Content Exploration, and the subjects in the control group scored significantly higher than those in the Program Control group on Persistence.  相似文献   

Financing at the leading 100 research universities: A study of financial dependency,concentration, and related institutional characteristics     

Marilyn McCoy  Jack Krakower  David Makowski 《Research in higher education》1982,16(4):323-352

This paper presents results of a National Science Foundation sponsored study to examine the financing of the leading 100 research universities. The study examines the changing dependence of these institutions on the federal government for overall financial support, the shifts in the concentration of federal funding to and within higher education, and the various programmatic and resource characteristics of these leading research institutions. The study covers five fiscal periods, 1975 through 1979.Presented at the Twenty First Annual Forum of The Association for Institutional Research, Minneapolis, May 1981.  相似文献   

Defining the outcomes of teacher education: what's social justice got to do with it?     

Marilyn Cochran‐Smith 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education》2004,32(3):193-212

In the context of escalating criticism of university‐based teacher education across the world, a clear need exists for informed defence of the field and the profession as well as critical evaluation of both teacher education and schooling. This paper takes up the issue of the ‘outcomes question’ in this regard, arguing the case for a strong focus on social justice as the necessary complement to an ongoing concern with academic excellence and rigor. It argues the need for teacher educators and others to look closely at the different ways that educational outcomes are currently being defined and for these differences to be made more openly and widely available for criticism and discussion. The paper seeks to contribute to debate regarding the role and renewal of teacher education, in specific relation to widespread standards movements and the public good, and the conduct and governance of education more generally.  相似文献

Off with a theme: Emergent curriculum in action     

Marilyn A. Sheerer  Ernest Dettore  Jennifer Cyphers 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1996,24(2):99-102

Early childhood teachers can plan developmentally appropriate classrooms through a fusion of thematic and emergent curriculum approaches. Ernie, a preschool teacher/university professor working in a campus laboratory setting, designed and implemented a space theme which was relevant to young children, allowed them many opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills and expand upon them in significant ways, and incorporated a variety of materials and resources. Overall, the use of this theme reflected the initial and emergent interests of both the teachers and children, as they interacted in the social environment.  相似文献   

Conditioning copulatory behavior to an artificial object: Efficacy of stimulus fading     

Michael Domjan  Marilyn Huber-McDonald  Kevin S. Holloway 《Learning & behavior》1992,20(4):350-362

Copulatory behavior rarely occurs in response to an arbitrary inanimate object. However, such behavior can provide important information about the stimulus control of copulatory behavior. In the present study, male Japanese quail were administered 15–20 conditioning trials that included exposure to an inanimate object and an opportunity to copulate with a live female quail. For some subjects, the stimulus object was always entirely covered with terrycloth. For other birds, the stimulus object contained a taxidermically prepared head and neck of a quail hen. Fading consisted of gradually covering up the neck and then the head portions of the stimulus object over successive trials. After conditioning, all subjects were tested with the entirely covered object. The fading procedure facilitated the conditioning of copulatory behavior to the entirely artificial object. In subjects that received the fading procedure, learning did not depend on pairings of the stimulus object with copulatory opportunity. The results are discussed with respect to an associative mediation mechanism.  相似文献   

Just pretending     

Marilyn Segal  Don Adcock 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1986,13(3):16-19

The appeal of fantasy is universal. Adults as well as children enjoy escaping the bonds of reality. For us as adults these flights of fantasy are usually short-lived, but for young children they are a way of life. This article focuses on structured activities for the classroom with ways to help children grow through imaginative play.This article is excerpted from the bookJust Pretending available from Mailman Family Press, 707 Westchester Ave., White Plains, NY 10604.  相似文献
