From Information Reserve to Media Literacy Learning Commons: Revisiting the 21st Century Library as the Home for Media Literacy Education     

Paul Mihailidis  Valerie Diggs 《Public Library Quarterly》2013,32(4):279-292

Media literacy, while growing considerably during the past three decades, remains on the margins of educational establishments in the United States. Its interdisciplinary nature and broad definition have caused some confusion as to how best it can be utilized in school systems. At the same time, the school library has had to reinvent itself rapidly for a digital media age. Reconceived as a “learning commons,” the school library of the twenty-first century is no longer seen as simply a repository for information, but as a center for knowledge. This article will outline a framework for the media literacy learning commons designed to help students navigate information in a digital age. The school library, repositioned in this way, can excel as a place where students are free to express, explore, and empower themselves to become more active and engaged participants in their daily lives.  相似文献   

The Divide and Conquer Exercise: Finding the Essence of Difficult Readings     

Valerie V. Peterson 《Communication Teacher》2013,27(1):14-17

Objective: In this exercise, students collectively summarize a long and perhaps difficult reading into a shorter, more condensed version of itself; in the process, students experience the virtues of teamwork (the divide and conquer approach), gain valuable reading and note-taking skills, and collectively distill the essence of a reading in class.

Courses: This exercise works best in any course with theoretical or complex readings assigned to students as outside reading, e.g., introductory courses in communication, communication theory, special topics in communication; the exercise requires 20–40 students.  相似文献   

Pupils' Perceptions of the Efficacy of Target Setting and How it can be Made More Effective     

Valerie Dagley 《Pastoral Care in Education》2004,22(2):14-18

This article explores some of the substantive issues that arose from a qualitative research study into individual pupil target setting in a secondary school. A multiple case study approach was employed in order to reveal the experiences and perceptions of some 'middle ability' Key Stage 3 pupils. The benefits of the process of setting highly individualized targets are discussed from the pupils' perspective. Therelationship between target setting and Academic Tutoring is examined and the potential for pastoral staff to use target setting as part of a learning discourse is highlighted.  相似文献   

Investigating talk in challenging classrooms-boys enjoy the power of talk     

Valerie Coultas 《English in Education》2006,40(2):40-54

This article attempts to develop the discussion on speaking and listening by investigating pupil perceptions of lessons involving small group talk. The sample of pupils came from a GCSE group in an all boys comprehensive school in an area of social disadvantage. The author used the pupil evaluations of oral work and some one‐to‐one interviews to draw together and analyse the pupils' thoughts and to discuss the teacher's role in planning for talk.  相似文献

An assessment of the condition of nine engraved sites in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region     

Andrew Thorn  Valerie Magar 《文物保护研究》2016,61(1):118-126

Nine engravings in the hinterland around Hong Kong Island have been studied independently by the authors, as part of an overall assessment of current management practices, the state of the engravings, conservation impacts and future survival. Four independent studies were commissioned in 2009 by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in conjunction with the Antiquities and Monuments Office who have legislative responsibility for all archaeological sites within the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The sites have received varying levels of protection in the form of roofs, fences, and screens, and in more recent times, a range of conservation treatments aimed at prolonging their life and improving legibility. This paper reviews the state of the engravings from the point of view of protection and presentation and considers the effectiveness of the infrastructure in mitigating what are often conflicting needs. Modern conservation treatments must be considered in several dimensions: their effectiveness and durability in an aggressive climate, given that the engravings have survived for 3000 years, and the feasibility and cost of maintaining such treatments over the next 3000 years and longer. This paper describes field observations rather than measured data, due to the nature of the commission, highlighting the value of intelligent observation as an investigative tool. The main focus of the paper is on the impact of protective shelters and applied treatments as observed during two of the independent surveys, concluding that protection must address all environmental and visitor impacts to be fully protective.  相似文献   

Are Head Start Effects Sustained? A Longitudinal Follow-up Comparison of Disadvantaged Children Attending Head Start, No Preschool, and Other Preschool Programs   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Valerie E. Lee  J. Brooks-Gunn  Elizabeth Schnur  Fong-Ruey Liaw 《Child development》1990,61(2):495-507

This study investigates the sustained effects into kindergarten and grade 1 of Project Head Start for disadvantaged black children. Participation in generic Head Start programs was compared to both no preschool and other preschool experience for disadvantaged children in two American cities in 1969-1970. Incorporating both pretest/posttest and comparison group information, the study has advantages over other Head Start impact studies. Both preprogram background and cognitive differences were controlled in a covariance analysis design, using dependent measures in the cognitive, verbal, and social domains. Children who attended Head Start maintained educationally substantive gains in general cognitive/analytic ability, especially when compared to children without preschool experience. These effects were not as large as those found immediately following the Head Start intervention. Findings suggest an effect of preschool rather than of Head Start per se. Initial findings of greater effectiveness of Head Start for children of below average initial ability were reduced but not reversed. The diminution of effects over time, especially for low-ability children, may reflect differences in quality of subsequent schooling or home environment.  相似文献   

Thriving at the Intersection: Integrating Social Determinants of Health and Sexual Health Education to Achieve Positive Outcomes for Youth     

Genevieve Martínez-García  Lisette Torres  Carolyn Camacho  Hope Gleicher  Valerie Sedivy 《American journal of sexuality education》2018,13(3):337-358

Abstract

Social determinants of health are the key to understanding and addressing persistent disparities in adolescent pregnancy in the United States. However, there is little guidance on what concrete steps organizations can take to work at the intersection of social determinants of health (SDoH) and sexual and reproductive health (SH). Two community-based organizations completed a case study using a structured interview guide to illustrate their transition working at this intersection. The Alexandria Campaign on Adolescent Pregnancy and Identity, Inc. arrived at the intersection of SDoH and SH from opposite ends of the road. Despite clear differences in their trajectory, their experiences share four key elements that marked their success in expanding their core work: (a) both organizations enjoyed ample community and political support, (b) they used data to drive strategic decisions, (c) they used funding opportunities to move toward the intersection of sexual health and social determinants, and (d) they leveraged existing programs to sustain their efforts. Organizations working at the intersection must continuously leverage community, political, and financial capital to pursue partners, expand services, and change policies that sustain a holistic approach to youth health and well-being.  相似文献
