Dependency on elementary school caregivers: The role of parental intrusiveness and children's separation anxiety     

Jeffrey J. Wood  Cara Kiff  Jeffrey Jacobs  Muriel Ifekwunigwe  John C. Piacentini 《Psychology in the schools》2007,44(8):823-837

A theoretical model of children's dependency on teachers and other caregivers in elementary school was tested and supported in this study. Based on attachment theory and social‐cognitive theory, parental intrusiveness and children's separation anxiety were hypothesized to heighten dependent behaviors with school caregivers. Families of children in Grades K–5 participated. Parent‐ and child‐report measures with good psychometric properties were employed. Parental intrusiveness and children's separation anxiety were associated with clingy, dependent relationships with school caregivers in cross‐informant correlational analyses. Intrusiveness and separation anxiety jointly accounted for 18%–29% of the variance in dependency scores. Results are consistent with attachment models of continuity between parent–child relationships and relations with other caregivers. Practice recommendations for teachers and school providers are given. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Psychol Schs 44: 823–837, 2007.  相似文献   

Sex equity in mathematics and science education: Research-policy links     

Janis E. Jacobs  Allan Wigfield 《Educational Psychology Review》1989,1(1):39-56

Despite the accumulation of a large body of research concerning effective sex equity practices in math and science, the lack of change in educational procedures suggests the need to reexamine the role of research in policy and program planning. This paper reviews the current research on sex equity in mathematics and science education, focusing on research in the categories of educator-student interaction, instructional context, and macrolevel demographics. Existing applications of current research to mathematics and science education programs are examined at regional, state, district, and individual school levels. Recommendations for future directions in policy and research are made, emphasizing the gaps in knowledge on each side. The paper ends with specific suggestions for strengthening the links between research and policy in the area of sex equity.  相似文献   

Birth order and sex of sibling as determinants of mother-infant interaction.     

B S Jacobs  H A Moss 《Child development》1976,47(2):315-322

Mother-infant interaction was assessed on 32 first- and second-born siblings when each was 3 months old. Data were colleted during 2 6-hour naturalistic home observations using a modified time-sampling technique. The sample consisted of 4 equal-size subgroups of same and opposite sex sibling pairs. Results suggested that interaction between a mother and her infant varied depending on the birth order and gender of the infant. Mothers spent significantly less time in social, affectionate, and caretaking interaction (except for feeding activities) with their second borns than they had with their firstborns; this difference was greater if the second born was female. Certain patterns of maternal behaviors appeared to be stable from one sibling to the other. Different types of interaction between the mothers and their younger infants were related to attention-seeking behavior in the firstborn male and female siblings.  相似文献

Playthings as learning tools     

Joan P. Isenberg  Judith E. Jacobs 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1983,10(3):19-23

Play can occur at any time or in any place; it bears directly on the development of such fundamentals as the learning of language and mathematical ideas and the development of thinking skills and social roles. The following three activities focus on how playthings and play activities contribute to children's intellectual development. We want to state at the outset, however, that play also contributes to children's physical, social, and emotional development. We recognize that play is important to all these areas. But here we consider the contribution of play to one area of development, that is, intellectual growth, or what children can learn.  相似文献   

Resistance in the classroom – from dysfunctional to functional: A future necessary skill?     

Susanne Jacobs  Nicola Taryn Richardson 《Africa Education Review》2016,13(2):115-131

This article reports on resistance in primary schools, more specific grade five learners as perceived by teachers. A qualitative phenomenological interpretative approach was followed utilising focus group discussions and individual interviews. Participants included 14 teachers, purposefully selected from three private and three public schools in Gauteng. Data were thematically analysed. Four main themes were identified: 1) manifestations in the classroom differentiated by active or passive resistance, either positive or negative; 2) a causal model of reasoning; 3) teacher-learner relationships affected by negative and positive perceptions; and 4) constructive suggestions for support holding value for practical application. Findings revealed that resistance in the primary school classroom (the result of the interaction between the learner and contextual factors), is still often assumed as negative and dysfunctional to teaching; however, it can equally be conducive and functional depending on the interaction. Teachers display a more flexible, resilient and positive understanding of contributing factors, and they value resistance if it signifies creativity and independent problem solving, leading to more positive teacherlearner relationships.  相似文献   

Students’ perspectives of early assessment tasks in their first-year at university     

Theda Thomas  Diane Jacobs  Laurine Hurley  Jenny Martin  Svetlana Maslyuk  Mark Lyall 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2019,44(3):398-414

Assessment plays an important role in first-year students’ transition to university, influencing how they learn. Poorly designed assessment can be demotivating and may even cause students to withdraw from university. An early low-stakes assessment task is recommended in first year, to provide information to students and staff on student progress, provide students with a positive experience and help them prepare for future assessments. This paper reports on first-year students’ experiences of two different early assessment tasks for two disciplines, one using an online quiz and the other a ‘research challenge’ that served as a precursor to writing an essay. The paper also presents lecturers’ reflections on what they learned, what they would change and the implications for others planning early assessment tasks for first years. Finally, ideas for future research are provided.  相似文献   

鸡还是蛋：中国金融发展与经济增长之关系（1992-2004年）   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

范学俊  罗伯特·伦辛克  杰·雅克伯 《华东师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2006,38(2):102-107

在向量自回归模型框架下,运用格兰杰(非)因果关系分析法、弱外生变量分析法检验中国金融发展与经济增长之间的短期和长期因果关系,结果表明,尽管中国金融改革是滞后于实体经济部门的改革,但在1992-2004期间,金融发展的确已促进了经济增长.在长期,尽管银行部门和股票市场都对经济增长有统计意义上的影响,但股票市场对GDP的影响力明显强于银行部门对GDP的影响力.  相似文献   

Understanding cable television community access viewership     

Randy Jacobs  William Yousman 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(3):305-316

This study updates and extends our knowledge of cable television community access viewership, a little researched topic of the past decade. Results of a random telephone survey are reported that reveal community access viewership has increased in recent years. Program viewership preferences and sources of program information are discussed. Community access viewing motivations and satisfaction are examined as predictors of channel viewership. Possible factors explaining the high level of reported viewership are suggested and recommendations for future research are proposed.  相似文献
