Making biodiversity meaningful through environmental education     

Daan Van Weelie  Arjen Wals 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(11):1143-1156

Biodiversity is an emerging theme in science, society and, more recently, education. There is no one single definition of biodiversity that is adequate in all situations. Both the knowledge base and the value base of biodiversity are variable and questionable. Because of these characteristics, biodiversity makes for an interesting vehicle for linking science and society, and the investigation of the normative underpinnings of 'science-in-the making'. Based on a 3-year study, this paper explores the crossroads between science education and environmental education and presents a framework for tapping the environmental education potential of biodiversity. Outlined are a number stepping stones for making biodiversity meaningful to learners. It is argued that, from the perspective of environmental education, the illdefined nature of biodiversity is a useful feature. Biodiversity is renewing the discourse on nature conservation issues by bringing together different groups in society that are searching for a common language to discuss nature conservation issues in relation to sustainability issues. The resulting debate allows the socio-scientific dispute character of 'science-in-the-making' to surface. Participation in such a dispute is an excellent opportunity to learn about a highly relevant, controversial, emotionally charged and debatable topic at the crossroads of science, technology and society  相似文献   

The effect of submaximal exercise on recovery hemodynamics and thermoregulation in men and women     

Fisher M  Paolone V  Rosene J  Drury D  Van Dyke A  Moroney D 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》1999,70(4):361-368

Five women and 5 men were studied to examine the effects of submaximal exercise on thermoregulatory and hemodynamic variables during recovery in two environments: (a) control (C), 22 degrees C, 33% rh; and (b) hot humid (H), 32 degrees C. The participants exercised on a cycle ergometer at 60% of peak oxygen consumption for 35 min prior to 90 min of seated recovery. Sessions were identical, except for environment. Variables evaluated (p < .05) were: core temperature (TR), mean skin temperature (Ts), sweat rate (SR), heart rate (HR), stroke index (SI), cardiac index (CI), forearm blood flow (FBF), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Men and women exhibited similar patterns of TR, Ts, and SR in both environments. Ts and SR (collapsed means for gender) were higher in the H than in the C. DBP was higher in men than in women throughout recovery in both environments. With combined means for gender, HR was higher in the H than in the C. CI, SI, FBF, and SBP were similar in both environments and returned to baseline within 15 min into recovery. These data suggest that heat dissipation during extended recovery was accomplished with similar contributions of cutaneous vasodilation and sweating in M and F. Furthermore, the moderate exercise level did not influence hemodynamics beyond 15 min of recovery in either environment.  相似文献   

GaIN (Georgia Interactive Network for Medical Information) study on health professionals' search requests and continuing education needs     

LaBeause J  Van de Water N  Carey P  Fielder M  Sorrow B  Woolbright C 《Medical reference services quarterly》1999,18(2):81-89

Health sciences librarians are being called upon to be more proactive in their institutions' continuing education efforts. In an effort to identify whether search requests indicated CE needs, a study was conducted by a group of members of GaIN (Georgia Interactive Network for Medical Information). MEDLINE requests from health care professionals for subject specific clinical topics were collected during a six-month period via a standard search request form created for the study. Copies of all completed requests were collected and broad ICD-9 codes assigned to the search topics. Institutional reports were generated for each participating library to share with hospital CE coordinators. They were also compiled for the group as a whole, and reflected the "hottest" topics requested during the study period for physicians and for non-physicians (nurses, allied health, administrators). A survey to hospital librarians and CE educators showed some value in the reports, but greater potential for further collaboration between librarians and CE coordinators.  相似文献

Do you Mini-Med School? Leveraging library resources to improve Internet consumer health information literacy     

Van Moorsel G 《Medical reference services quarterly》2001,20(4):27-37

Popular for engaging public interest in medical science while promoting health awareness, Mini-Med School (MMS) programs also afford important if largely unrealized opportunities to improve the health information literacy of attendees. With a growing population using the Internet to make health decisions, needed venues for improving Internet Consumer Health Information (CHI) literacy may be found in the MMS platform. Surveyed directors of MMS programs understand the need to include CHI, and successful programs at SUNY Stony Brook and elsewhere demonstrate the potential for collaboration with affiliated health sciences libraries to integrate CHI instruction into MMS curricula.  相似文献

服务业创新的新熊彼特定义：基于新分类法的概念探讨     

Meindert Flikkema Paul Jansen Lidewey Van Der Sluis 《中国青年科技》2007,(11):F0003-F0003

创新是一项复杂的过程并具有多面性。在众多以创新与生产率之间联系为主题的研究中，由于数据限制，往往只采用单一指标来测度创新。本文对这种方式提出了质疑，认为这种研究方法可能会系统地偏向于某类经常通过参与创新活动以达到各种商业目的的公司或产业。为了更好地测度创新，本文介绍了一种创新索引，即以潜变量模型为基础的含有多项创新指标的线性指标组合。这一尝试得到加拿大制造业公司的大量微观数据组合的支持。  相似文献   

Partnership Programs in U.S. Schools: Their Development and Relationship to Family Involvement Outcomes     

Steven B. Sheldon  Frances L. Van Voorhis 《School Effectiveness & School Improvement》2013,24(2):125-148

This study examined data from over 300 U.S. schools on their efforts to develop high quality programs of school, family, and community partnerships. Analyses show that elementary schools, schools with greater support from parents, teachers, and the community; and schools that evaluated progress reported higher quality partnership programs over time. Higher quality programs were associated with wider implementation of parent-child interactive homework, higher levels of parent volunteering, and more parents on school decision-making committees. Results identify factors that could help schools develop quality partnership programs and suggest that these programs translate into higher levels of family involvement in students’ learning.  相似文献
