An Evaluation of the Effect of Various Reinforcers used as Motivators in Swimming     

Brent S. Rushall  John Pettinger 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(3):540-545

Abstract

Three kinds of reward were contrasted as to their effect upon swimming work volume. Extrinsic reinforcers of candy and money significantly improved performance over coach's attention and a control condition. The effects of these conditions were differentially affected by age. The significance of these results implies that the role of the swimming coach should be changed to maximize the work response of swimmers.  相似文献   

A Simple Answer to a Simple Question on Changing Answers     

Brent Bridgeman 《Journal of Educational Measurement》2012,49(4):467-468

In an article in the Winter 2011 issue of the Journal of Educational Measurement, van der Linden, Jeon, and Ferrara suggested that “test takers should trust their initial instincts and retain their initial responses when they have the opportunity to review test items.” They presented a complex IRT model that appeared to show that students would be worse off by changing answers. As noted in a subsequent erratum, this conclusion was based on flawed data, and that the correct data could not be analyzed by their method because the model failed to converge. This left their basic question on the value of answer changing unanswered. A much more direct approach is to simply count the number of examinees whose scores after an opportunity to change answers are higher, lower, or the same as their initial scores. Using the same data set as the original article, an overwhelming majority of the students received higher scores after the opportunity to change answers.  相似文献   

Marketing Gets Personal: Promoting Reference Staff to Reach Users     

Brent Nunn  Elizabeth Ruane 《图书馆管理杂志》2013,53(6-7):571-580

ABSTRACT

With a growing population of part-time and distance education students, changing technologies, and evolving user expectations, it is becoming increasingly challenging to reach users through traditional marketing approaches. This article will review previous trends in library marketing and promotion and explore new initiatives, including partnering with marketing courses, roving reference, and highlighting staff expertise to raise awareness among users.

Sexual Justice Is Social Justice: An Activity to Expand Social Work Students Understanding of Sexual Rights and Injustices     

George W. Turner  Al Vernacchio  Brent Satterly 《Journal of Teaching in Social Work》2013,33(5):504-521

Social work education could benefit from an explicit educational framework that combines social justice and sexuality: sexual justice. However, there is a paucity of literature in social work discussing this critical issue. This article helps equip social workers to challenge social injustice through a lens of sexuality and builds a conceptual framework by examining sexual justice through pillars of social work: human dignity, community and solidarity, rights and responsibilities, priority for the poor and vulnerable, and peace. An activity providing micro and macro case discussions is presented to help infuse sexual justice into social work programs.  相似文献   

Labels DO Matter! A Critique of AECT’s Redefinition of the Field     

Patrick Lowenthal  Brent G. Wilson 《TechTrends》2010,54(1):38-46

AECT has recently (yet again!) redefined our field, reverting back to the use of the term educational technology. We believe this recent change is problematic for a number of reasons, but primarily because of the weak rationale offered for the change. This change affects how external audiences view our profession and is likely to confuse practitioners in corporate and higher education settings in particular. We offer a review of job postings, program titles, and listserv discussions to support our case. The labels we use to define ourselves are critically important - and we hope to see a stronger case made for changes for our foundational definitions in the future.  相似文献

Sexuality Information Needs of Latino and African American Ninth Graders: A Content Analysis of Anonymous Questions     

Francisca Angulo-Olaiz  Eva S. Goldfarb  Norman A. Constantine 《American journal of sexuality education》2014,9(1):21-40

This study used qualitative content analysis to examine anonymous questions about sex and sexuality submitted by Latino and African American adolescents in Los Angeles, California, classrooms. The majority of questions asked about sexuality and sexual behavior, or anatomy and physiology, with fewer questions about pregnancy and pregnancy prevention, sexually transmitted infections, and condoms. Overall, a notable mix was found of questions implying exposure to or awareness of a wide range of sexual activities, together with questions demonstrating fundamental misunderstandings or confusion about some of the most basic aspects of sex and sexuality. Gender differences emerged across topics, subtopics, and question types. The results of this study suggest that differences exist between what Latino and African-American teens yearn to know about sex and sexuality, and what information they are getting on these topics from other sources. This reinforces the importance of considering the concerns and needs of the intended audience in designing and evaluating health education programs.  相似文献

Influencing the College Attendance Rates of Hispanics in Texas     

Brent D. Cejda  Matt Short 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(4-6):347-361

A number of policymakers have shifted their attention from the participation rates of Hispanics in postsecondary education to the percentage of this population that completes a baccalaureate degree. Several reports stress that while participation rates have increased, there are continued disparities in outcomes between Hispanic and White college students (President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans, 2003 President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans . ( 2003 ). From risk to opportunity: Fulfilling the educational needs of Hispanic Americans in the 21st Century . Washington , DC : Author .

Goal: To double the rate of Hispanics earning a bachelor's degree . Santa Monica , CA : RAND . (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. ED453771)  [Google Scholar]). Although many states have experienced increases in Hispanic postsecondary attendance, such is not the case in Texas—a state with one of the largest Hispanic populations in the country. Figures for 2003 show that 3.9% of Hispanics in Texas were enrolled in some type of postsecondary institution compared to 5.2% of African Americans and 5.6% of Caucasians (Haurwitz, 2005 Haurwitz , R.
