OBJECTIVE: Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) aim to improve child forensic interviewing following allegations of child abuse by coordinating multiple investigations, providing child-friendly interviewing locations, and limiting redundant interviewing. This analysis presents one of the first rigorous evaluations of CACs' implementation of these methods. METHODS: This analysis is part of a quasi-experimental study, the Multi-Site Evaluation of Children's Advocacy Centers, which evaluated four CACs relative to within-state non-CAC comparison communities. Case abstractors collected data on investigation methods in 1,069 child sexual abuse cases with forensic interviews by reviewing case records from multiple agencies. RESULTS: CAC cases were more likely than comparison cases to feature police involvement in CPS cases (41% vs. 15%), multidisciplinary team (MDT) interviews (28% vs. 6%), case reviews (56% vs. 7%), joint police/child protective services (CPS) investigations (81% vs. 52%) and video/audiotaping of interviews (52% vs. 17%, all these comparisons p<.001). CACs varied in which coordination methods they used, and some comparison communities also used certain coordination methods more than the CAC with which they were paired. Eighty-five percent of CAC interviews took place in child-friendly CAC facilities, while notable proportions of comparison interviews took place at CPS offices (22%), police facilities (18%), home (16%), or school (19%). Ninety-five percent of children had no more than two forensic interviews, and CAC and comparison differences on number of interviews were mostly non-significant. CONCLUSIONS: Relative to the comparison communities, these CACs appear to have increased coordination on investigations and child forensic interviewing. The CAC setting was the location for the vast majority of CAC child interviews, while comparison communities often used settings that many consider undesirable. CACs showed no advantage on reducing the number of forensic interviews, which was consistently small across the sample.  相似文献

农村教师的身份认同状况及其思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李金奇 《教育研究》2011,(11)

农村教师的身份经历了由政治身份向专业身份的演变。文化资本与超负荷的工作承载使农村教师的自我认同度和社会认同度不高,直接影响到教师职业文化的继承与传递。政府要采取措施,实施均权的身份政策,尤其要通过提升农村教师的社会地位来提升农村教师的身份认同感。  相似文献   

人才培养模式的顶层设计和目标平台建设   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

王伟廉  马凤岐  陈小红 《教育研究》2011,(2)

按照科学发展观来进行人才培养模式的顶层设计,是高校提高质量的首要问题。人才培养模式的设计通常分为三个层面:学校层面、专业层面和课程与教育教学活动层面。前两个层面具有全局性和综合性,其设计属顶层设计。人才培养模式的顶层设计,首先要分析目标需求及来源,科学确立目标框架,然后对目标进行合理分解和解释,选择合适的内容形成培养方案,最后对目标进行反馈评价,以此不断改进和完善设计。  相似文献

高职教育是我国高等教育中的一种重要类型,职业性与高教性是其基本属性。我国高职院校在实际办学过程中,职业性倾向明显,高教性体现不足。高职院校在办学过程中,要明确高职教育发展目标,科学设计高职课程体系和探索教学模式改革,从基地、师资和制度等三个要素上体现高职教育层次性等问题。  相似文献   

中等职业教育区域均衡发展的成绩、问题和对策   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

马树超  张晨  陈嵩 《教育研究》2011,(5)

我国中等职业教育的发展对促进教育公平、实现入学机会均等、缩小区域间人力资源存量差距等方面作出了很大的贡献。但中等职业教育的发展也在办学条件、师资力量、投入水平和校企合作条件等方面存在着比较明显的区域不均衡现象。区域职业教育的均衡发展依赖于资源要素的支撑,更依赖于职业教育校企合作条件的优化。鉴于当前我国校企合作条件正处于U型曲线开始回升的关键时期,中等职业教育发展需要实施分类指导、分区域推进;加大经费投入和保障力度,实施标准化建设;加强东、西部地区的对口支援;优化职业教育运行机制;实现体制机制创新。  相似文献

How gender is constructed and experienced in the social world of the nursery school     

Charlotte Jones 《International Journal of Early Years Education》2019,27(2):153-169

This case study attempts to capture the way gender is constructed and experienced in the social world of the nursery school. It presents findings from a staff survey, structured and unstructured observations of one male’s and one female’s professional practice and one-to-one interviews with children aged three to four years. Despite practitioners’ reported intentions to challenge traditional notions of gender, construction of traditional gender distinctions was not problematised by staff and was upheld by comments of children. Children appeared to construct themselves in terms of gender stereotypes and were offered only limited alternative gender positions by the male and female practitioners.  相似文献
