Sci-Tec: Evaluating a non-deficit model of in-service     

Mr Graham Crawford  Ms Yvonne Zeegers 《Research in Science Education》1993,23(1):24-33

The Sci-Tec project was based on an interactive, non-deficit model of in-service in which the fundamental principle was to value the expertise of all participants, and to encourage them to share that expertise with others. As part of the unfolding of the project, the participants also identified various areas of need as they arose, and these too became elements of the in-service agenda. The model has proved to be robust when applied in a wide range of schools, and with teachers who originally expressed widely varying degrees of confidence and interest in teaching primary science and technology.

Liminal spaces constructed by primary schools in predominantly white working-class areas in England

ABSTRACT

Despite successive policy interventions, students’ socio-economic status continues to strongly predict educational outcomes. Many schools aspire to ‘close’ this ‘gap’. This paper presents an ethnographic study of a group of Primary schools in predominantly white working-class areas in the Midlands of England. Generating ethnographic data through time-recurrent, multi-sited fieldwork including observation, informal conversations, semi-structured interviews, photography and documentary analysis, findings were constructed through critical dialogue between the group of six researchers. A concept of liminal spaces is used to analyse the schools’ work in seeking to move individuals, families, and communities beyond that which they previously knew, foregrounding norms, practices, and discourses constructed on the ‘inside’, and highlighting aspects in tension with the imagined ‘outside’. These schools’ conceptualisations of poverty are shown to be complex and multifaceted, and suggestions are made to employ liminality for articulating and critically exploring the spaces and transformations that schools seek to construct.  相似文献   

Discrete-time nonlinear observer design with general criteria     

Edwin Engin Yaz  Chung Seop Jeong  Yvonne Ilke Yaz 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2007,344(6):918-928

A class of discrete-time nonlinear system and measurement equations having incrementally conic nonlinearities and finite energy disturbances is considered. A linear matrix inequality-based design approach is presented, which guarantees the satisfaction of a variety of performance criteria ranging from simple estimation error boundedness to dissipativity. Some simulation examples are included to illustrate and provide support to the proposed design methodology.  相似文献   

Live-action Communication Design: A Technical How-To Video Case Study     

Per Erik Eriksson  Yvonne Eriksson 《Technical Communication Quarterly》2019,28(1):69-91

This case study is based on a research through design project (RTD) that focuses on a technical communication video of the live-action format. It investigates the usability and design-implications of a live-action how-to video, by means of analyzing user-centered data such as YouTube analytics data, usability, and comprehension assessments. In the study, four key live-action video affordances are identified: verifiability, comparability, recordability, and visibility. The identification of these affordances when related to the users’ assessments resulted in several design implementations that would warrant sought-for communication efficacies. Findings show that some assumed efficacies appear to be mitigated by the complexity and the density of the video information. One implication of this is that the implementation of conventional video editing techniques and the addition of on-screen text that serve to make content briefer and more concise into instructional live-action videos requires the technical communicator’s careful consideration.  相似文献   

Supporting Pupils in Finnish and Swedish Schools—Teachers’ Views     

Marjatta Takala  Eva Silfver  Yvonne Karlsson  Minna Saarinen 《Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research》2020,64(3):313-332

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the different support systems used by teachers in compulsory education. Class and subject teachers and special educators from Finland (N?=?57) and Sweden (N?=?57) participated in the study, in which both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. Participants completed an electronic questionnaire to identify the supports and methods they use when working with pupils who have special educational needs. The findings indicate both similarities and differences between the two countries. One of the most common forms of support was individualisation, including pedagogical modifications. Methods of supporting academic skills such as reading differed from those used to support behavioral issues. Positive pedagogy and structuring the environment were used ways of supporting pupils with behavioral challenges. Results for both countries are compared and support needs are discussed.  相似文献   

Effects of a Pre‐service Teacher Preparation Programme on Effective Instruction     

Simon Veenman  Yvonne Leenders  Paulien Meyer  Mark Sanders 《Educational studies》1993,19(1):3-18

A quasi‐experimental, treatment‐control group investigation was designed to test the effects of a pre‐service training course on effective instruction. Research findings from teacher effects research and cognitive strategy instruction were translated into two direct instructional models: one model for explicit or well‐structured skills and one model for implicit skills or higher‐level thinking strategies. Following a course on effective instruction from their teacher educators, student teachers implemented standardised lessons to apply selected research‐derived teaching behaviours and to increase pupil engagement rates. Based on trained observers’ pre‐and post‐training classroom observations, a significant treatment effect was found for student teachers’ teaching behaviours regarding effective instruction and for pupil engagement rates. Ratings from supervising teachers also showed that the student teachers who participated in the course on effective instruction used the recommended instructional skills after completion of the course significantly better than prior to the course.  相似文献

The Rhetoric of the Probable in Scientific Commentaries: The Debate Over the Species Status of the Red Wolf     

Yvonne M. Rauch 《Technical Communication Quarterly》1997,6(1):91-104

This article looks at the commentary's role in scientific disputation by analyzing the rhetoric in two scientific papers. First, it considers each author's explanation as to why disagreement exists among scientists. Second, it investigates one author's accusation that “cultural norms” have foreclosed research avenues in evolutionary studies. Third, it examines each author's appeal to values. These values cohere with their explanations as to why disagreements exist and their particular recommendations for administrating the Endangered Species Act.  相似文献   

Measuring spontaneous and instructed evaluation processes during Web search: Integrating concurrent thinking-aloud protocols and eye-tracking data     

Peter Gerjets  Yvonne KammererBenita Werner 《Learning and Instruction》2011,21(2):220-231

Web searching for complex information requires to appropriately evaluating diverse sources of information. Information science studies identified different criteria applied by searchers to evaluate Web information. However, the explicit evaluation instructions used in these studies might have resulted in a distortion of spontaneous evaluation processes. Accordingly, the present study compared explicit evaluation instructions and neutral thinking-aloud instructions. Data from thinking-aloud protocols, eye tracking, and information problem-solving were collected from 30 participants equally distributed to two experimental conditions, that is, the Instructed Evaluation condition and the Spontaneous Evaluation condition. Instructed evaluation, as compared to spontaneous evaluation, resulted in more verbal utterances of quality-related evaluation criteria, in an increased attention focus on user ratings displayed on Web pages, and in better quality of decision making, although participants in the Instructed Evaluation condition were not able to better justify their decision as compared to participants in the Spontaneous Evaluation condition.  相似文献   

Between a rock and a hard place: women and computer technology     

Yannis Pechtelidis  Yvonne Kosma  Anna Chronaki 《Gender and education》2015,27(2):164-182

This paper explores certain possible reasons behind the uneasy relationship between women and technology. The cultural identification of technology with masculinity has been well documented through previous research. However, we feel it is useful to revisit this complex relationship through the scope of a more subtle distinction between ‘users’ and ‘connoisseurs’, and the struggle over power, which revolves around a specific form of hegemonic masculinity. We draw on interviews that examine students’ experiences, emotions, and statements about gender, technology, mathematics, and education, and we try to offer an understanding of the ways women negotiate their position within the dominant discourse about computing and mathematics. Our analysis employs post-structuralist discourse theory.  相似文献
