ABSTRACT

In a 2007 study, librarians at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Library examined freely available online tutorials on academic medical library Web sites. The team identified tutorial topics, determined common design features, and assessed elements of active learning in library-created tutorials; the team also generated a list of third-party tutorials to which medical libraries link. This article updates the earlier study, describing changes and trends in tutorial content and design on medical libraries' Web sites; the project team plans to continue to track trends in tutorial development by repeating this study annually.  相似文献   

生物教师教学水平影响因素探析——以普通中学教师为研究对象     

刘逸泠 《福建教育学院学报》2010,11(4):70-72

影响生物教师教学水平提高的主观因素主要是教师的责任感和教学能力,客观因素主要是教育制度与环境。对于学科重要性“排位”比较靠后的中学生物教师而言,要提高教学水平,除了要增强教育责任感和提高教学能力外,也需要在制度和环境方面构筑良好的催生条件。  相似文献   

The Impact of Congruency Between Preferred and Actual Learning Environments on Tenth Graders’ Science Literacy in Taiwan     

Chun-Yen Chang  Ting-Kuang Yeh  Chun-Yen Lin  Yueh-Hsia Chang  Chia-Li D. Chen 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2010,19(4):332-340

This study explored the effects of congruency between preferred and actual learning environment (PLE & ALE) perceptions on students’ science literacy in terms of science concepts, attitudes toward science, and the understanding of the nature of science in an innovative curriculum of High Scope Project, namely Sci-Tech Mind and Humane Heart (STMHH). A pre-/post-treatment experiment was conducted with 34 Taiwanese tenth graders involved in this study. Participating students’ preferred learning environment perception and pre-instruction scientific literacy were evaluated before the STMHH curriculum. Their perceptions toward the actual STMHH learning environment and post-instruction scientific literacy were also examined after the STMHH. Students were categorized into two groups; “preferred alignment with actual learning environment” (PAA) and “preferred discordant with actual learning environment” (PDA), according to their PLEI and ALEI scores. The results of this study revealed that most of the students in this study preferred learning in a classroom environment where student-centered and teacher-centered learning environments coexisted. Furthermore, the ANCOVA analysis showed marginally statistically significant difference between groups in terms of students’ post-test scores on scientific literacy with the students’ pre-test scores as the covariate. As a pilot study with a small sample size aiming to probe the research direction of this problem, the result of marginally statistically significant and approaching large sized effect magnitude is likely to implicate that the congruency between preferred and actual learning environments on students’ scientific literacy is noteworthy. Future study of this nature appears to merit further replications and investigations.  相似文献

Comparison of Earth Science Achievement Between Animation-Based and Graphic-Based Testing Designs     

Huang-Ching Wu  Chun-Yen Chang  Chia-Li D. Chen  Ting-Kuang Yeh  Cheng-Chueh Liu 《Research in Science Education》2010,40(5):639-673

This study developed two testing devices, namely the animation-based test (ABT) and the graphic-based test (GBT) in the area of earth sciences covering four domains that ranged from astronomy, meteorology, oceanography to geology. Both the students’ achievements of and their attitudes toward ABT compared to GBT were investigated. The purposes of this study were fourfold as follows: (1) to examine the validity and the reliability of ABT, (2) to compare the difference of ABT and GBT in student achievements, (3) to investigate the impact of ABT versus GBT on student achievements with different levels of prior knowledge and (4) to explore the ABT participants’ attitudes toward ABT in comparison with GBT. A total of 314 students, divided into two groups, participated in the study. Upon completion of the test, the students who took the ABT were given the survey, Attitude toward Animated Assessment Scale (AAAS). The results of the study indicated that ABT was a valid and reliable way of testing. While no significant difference was found between the test formats in student achievements in general, practical significance existed when the study further compared the impact of ABT versus GBT in student achievements with various levels of prior knowledge. It was found that low prior knowledge students performed better in ABT while high prior knowledge students performed better in GBT. Finally, more than 60% of the participants who took ABT were satisfied and held positive attitudes toward ABT.  相似文献   

Understanding and addressing the achievement gap through individualized instruction and formative assessment     

Stuart S. Yeh 《Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice》2010,17(2):169-182

This article synthesizes findings regarding the development of competence and learned helplessness and factors influencing persistence and intrinsic motivation, suggests the process through which small differences in early achievement are magnified by the current structure of schools, and reviews evidence suggesting that the characteristics of a specific type of individualized instruction and assessment system may be especially suited to remediate these differences. Age‐graded schools and group tests label students as ‘below’ and ‘above’ average, inadvertently demoralizing below‐average students, depressing effort and achievement, and perpetuating the gap in achievement between poor students and their more affluent peers. Analysis of the research literature suggests that the psychological experience of school for both high and low achieving students may be altered through a structure where instruction is individualized, students are challenged at their own levels, and each student receives objective assessment information confirming that he or she is successfully advancing to higher levels.  相似文献

Teacher loyalty of elementary schools in Taiwan: the contribution of gratitude and relationship quality     

Shueh-Chin Ting  Liang-Yin Yeh 《School Leadership & Management》2014,34(1):85-101

Gratitude was an important missing factor in the extant relationship quality and relationship loyalty model. We introduced gratitude into the model of relationship quality and relationship loyalty. Two hundred and eighteen teachers from elementary schools in Taiwan were used to conduct an empirical research. The results show that teachers' gratitude has positive direct effects on teachers' trust, satisfaction and commitment. Teachers' trust has no significant effect on behavioural loyalty but has a significant effect on attitudinal loyalty. However, teachers' satisfaction has no significant effect on attitudinal loyalty but has a significant effect on behavioural loyalty. Teachers' commitment has a significant effect on behavioural and attitudinal loyalty. The mediating role of commitment implies that it (1) partially mediates the relationship between teachers' trust and attitudinal loyalty, and fully mediates the relationship between teachers' trust and behavioural loyalty; (2) partially mediates the relationship between teachers' satisfaction and behavioural loyalty, and fully mediates the relationship between teachers' trust and attitudinal loyalty.  相似文献
