Action learning and constructivist grounded theory: powerfully overlapping fields of practice     

Jane Rand 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2013,10(3):230-243

This paper considers the shared characteristics between action learning (AL) and the research methodology constructivist grounded theory (CGT). Mirroring Edmonstone's [2011. “Action Learning and Organisation Development: Overlapping Fields of Practice.” Action Learning: Research and Practice 8 (2): 93–102] article, which explored the relationship(s) between AL and organisation development, a case is made that AL and CGT are powerfully overlapping fields of practice. An account of practice is included to provide a contextual explanation of the ‘overlap’, and a new methodological praxeology is proposed to the field of practice/practitioner-focused research.  相似文献   

The Effects of Working Atmospheres on Creativity     

Gunvor  Per Rand 《Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research》2013,57(3):91-106

Rand, G. & Rand, P. The Effects of Working Atmospheres on Creativity. Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research 22, 91‐106. Previous studies on effects of variations in working atmosphere upon creativity have shown confusing results. Part of an explanation of this confusion may be found in this report. Data were gathered from 588 sixth grade Oslo children (301 boys, 287 girls). Half of the Ss worked on two originality tests under relaxed and the other half under stressful working conditions. There is a clear difference between the distributions of creativity scores in the two atmosphere groups. The percentages of very low and very high scores are lower in the stressful than in the relaxed group. This difference is found regardless of sex, intelligence or test anxiety of the Ss. If this difference in percentages indicates that two counteracting tendencies are at work simultaneously, when we shift from one type of working atmosphere to the other, mean scores may not be well suited for the presentation of data pertaining to the effects of working conditions. As previous studies often have relied on mean values in data presentation, this may, at least partly, account for the confusing results.  相似文献   

Some Validation Data for the Achievement Motives Scale (AMS)     

Per Rand 《Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research》2013,57(4):155-171

Rand, P. 1978. Some Validation Data for the Achievement Motives Scale (AMS). Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research 22, 155‐171. The AM Swas administered to 588 sixth grade Oslo children, 301 boys and 287 girls. Among other tests given were 6 verbal and 2 numerical tests, TASC, and a Lie/Defensiveness Scale. On the basis of achievement theory, scores on the AMS subscale for motive to seek success (M5) were predicted to be positively related to performance on the verbal and numerical tests, and scores on the subscale for motive to avoid failure (Mf) to be negatively related to those scores. The theory also leads to the assumption that the difference in performance between individuals high and low in motive scores would be clearest on tasks experienced as being of medium difficulty. The results show predicted and mostly significant relationships. Even when related to the tests of personality characteristics, the AMS shows promising qualities. TASC scores are related positively to Mf scores and negatively to Ms scores. The fact that AMS scores show negligible correlations with lie/defensiveness scores indicates that the risk of faked AMS scores may be small.  相似文献   

Mediating at the Student–Wikipedia Intersection     

Angela Doucet Rand 《图书馆管理杂志》2013,53(7-8):923-932

ABSTRACT

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia. The encyclopedia is openly edited by registered users. Wikipedia editors can edit their own and others' entries, and some abuse of this editorial power has been unveiled. Content authors have also been criticized for publishing less than accurate content. Educators and students acknowledge casual use of Wikipedia in spite of its perceived inaccuracies. Use of the online encyclopedia as a reference resource in scholarly papers is still debated. The increasing popularity of Wikipedia has led to an influx of research articles analyzing the validity and content of the encyclopedia. This study provides an analysis of relevant articles on academic use of Wikipedia. This analysis attempts to summarize the status of Wikipedia in relation to the scope (breadth) and depth of its contents and looks at content validity issues that are of concern to the use of Wikipedia for higher education. The study seeks to establish a reference point from which educators can make informed decisions about scholarly use of Wikipedia as a reference resource.  相似文献

A family process model of economic hardship and adjustment of early adolescent boys.   总被引：26，自引：0，他引：26  

R D Conger  K J Conger  G H Elder  F O Lorenz  R L Simons  L B Whitbeck 《Child development》1992,63(3):526-541

We propose a family process model that links economic stress in family life to prosocial and problematic adolescent adjustment. Employing a sample of 205 seventh-grade boys aged 12 to 14 years (M = 12.7) and living in intact families in the rural Midwest, the theoretical constructs in the model were measured using both trained observer and family member reports. In general, results were consistent with the proposed model. Objective economic conditions such as per capita income and unstable work were related to parents' emotional status and behaviors through their perceptions of increased economic pressures such as the inability to pay monthly bills. These pressures were associated with depression and demoralization for both parents, which was related to marital conflict and disruptions in skillful parenting. Disrupted parenting mediated the relations between the earlier steps in the stress process and adolescent adjustment. The emotions and behaviors of both mothers and fathers were almost equally affected by financial difficulties, and disruptions in each parent's child-rearing behaviors had adverse consequences for adolescent development.  相似文献   

Perception of child, child-rearing values, and emotional distress as mediating links between environmental stressors and observed maternal behavior   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

R D Conger  J A McCarty  R K Yang  B B Lahey  J P Kropp 《Child development》1984,55(6):2234-2247

This observational study of 74 families investigated 3 areas of maternal psychological functioning (emotional distress, authoritarian child-rearing values, negative perceptions of children) that might mediate the relationship between 3 separate dimensions of family demographic characteristics, conceptualized as chronic environmental stressors (i.e., financial, structural, and historical circumstances), and the emotionally affective behavior of mothers. Demographic conditions accounted for 52.9% of the variance in mothers' psychological characteristics and as much as 36.6% of the variance in positive and negative behaviors to children. The psychological characteristics explained as much as 15.1% of the variance in maternal behavior. Both chronic stress and the psychological variables had an independent influence on the general emotional tone of maternal behavior. The findings provide tentative support for the conclusion that the psychological characteristics examined here partially mediate the influence of some demographic or stressful life conditions on the positive and negative behaviors of mothers.  相似文献   

Marital Conflict and Adolescent Distress: The Role of Adolescent Awareness   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

Gordon T. Harold  Rand D. Conger 《Child development》1997,68(2):333-350

The present longitudinal study (1989–1991) of seventh-grade adolescents (173 boys, 197 girls; M age = 12.7 in 1989) living in the rural Midwest examined the influence of children's awareness of marital conflict and reported level of parental hostility on symptoms of adolescent distress. The theoretical model guiding the research indirectly linked marital conflict to adolescent perceptions of parents' hostility through the mediating effects of parents and observers' report of hostility toward the adolescent and through adolescent awareness of the frequency of interparental conflict. Controlling for earlier levels of psychological distress, we hypothesized a direct path between adolescent report of parent hostility and adolescent maladjustment. Maximum likelihood estimation of the proposed model showed that marital conflict was significantly related to parents' and observers' reports of parent hostility toward the adolescent and to adolescent awareness of conflict frequency. Both parent hostility and adolescent awareness of the frequency of marital conflicts were significantly related to adolescent perceptions of parent hostility. When controlled for earlier distress, adolescent report of parent hostility significantly predicted the later internalizing and externalizing symptoms of these teenagers. The model predicted externalizing problems for boys but not girls. Otherwise, there were no gender differences in the postulated causal processes.  相似文献
