Teacher Preparation for Community/Junior Colleges     

Glenn R. Johnson 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(3):249-257

Abstract

A questionnaire was sent to the presidents of 24 Texas community/junior colleges, 22 of whom responded (91.66%). The five parts of the instrument dealt with specific teacher preparation topics, internships and salaries for the interns, and the number of graduate hours of preparation one should have completed in a discipline in order to teach it.

The respondents endorsed several specific topics for preparation programs, and the majority also supported an internship program. Evidently, the subject matter and activities listed in the questionnaire constitute a workable part of a program to prepare community/junior college teachers. A minimum salary of $450 per month is recommended for an intern required to teach three sections of a specific discipline, and a higher salary is very desirable where possible.  相似文献

Homeless Children and Youth at Risk: The Educational Impact of Displacement     

Joseph Murphy 《Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk》2013,18(1):38-55

We know that homelessness creates conditions of risk for homeless children and youth (e.g., malnutrition, missing parental support, affiliation with deviant peers, disconnect from schooling, and so forth). Researchers also document that these states of risk have devastating physical, emotional, social, and educational impacts on young people. In this article, we explore the final issue—how displacement affects the educational well-being of homeless children and youth. We begin our review with a variable—mobility—that has a good deal of explanatory power for the educational impacts examined. We conclude with the consequences of homelessness that follow displaced children and youth into adulthood. In between we discuss an assortment of outcome factors: placement in special education, attendance, academic success, and graduation.  相似文献   

Consultation With Professional Peers: A National Survey of the Practices of School Psychologists     

Joseph E. Zins  John J. Murphy 《Journal of educational and psychological consultation》2013,23(2-3):175-184

There is an increasing need for education professionals to keep abreast of new research and developments in their fields. The peer support group, which is characterized by the sharing of expertise and knowledge, the provision of mutual support, and joint problem solving among professional colleagues, has been advanced as promising means of promoting professional growth and development. This article reports the results of an exploratory national survey of school psychologists' involvement in peer support groups (PSGs) that was undertaken to identify the potential contributions of such activities to improving professional practice. Nearly 64% of the respondents indicated involvement in a PSG at some point in their careers, with almost 50% currently participating in one. Several benefits were attributed to group membership, and it was suggested that further research efforts are needed to clarify the essential components that contribute to group effectiveness.  相似文献

感召力膜拜和世界一流大学     

Jerry Murphy 《中国大学教学》2005,(8):56-57

让我们从目前全世界所关注的话题,也就是所谓的世界一流大学谈起。它被人们如此频繁的提及,已成了陈词滥调。我要谈的是人们究竟期望这些学校取得什么样的成绩,但在此之前,我们需要先搞清楚为什么当今人们的期望会如此高。高度期望答案非常简单:在人类有历史以来,没有什么比教育更重要的了。每一个人都认同这一点,即良好的教育对学生个人的成功是非常重要的。同时良好的教育对一个国家的富强也是非常重要的。虽然这个观点存在很大的争议,但它仍被人们广泛接受。对于个人来说,学校教育是非常重要的。因为生活中机会的多少直接取决于个人的知…  相似文献   

On the Boundaries of Framing Terrorism: Guilt,Victimization, and the 2016 Orlando Shooting     

Nathan Walter  Thomas J. Billard  Sheila T. Murphy 《Mass Communication and Society》2017,20(6):849-868

The 2016 Orlando shooting offers an intriguing lens through which to evaluate the boundaries of media frames in the interpretation of terrorism. Using an experimental design (N = 243), the current study investigated the effects of two dominant frames—the homophobic hate crime and the Islamic terrorist frame—on collective guilt, collective victimization, and pro–lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) political action. In addition, political partisanship and social network diversity were evaluated as potential moderators. Compared to the Islamic terrorist frame, exposure to the homophobic hate crime frame increased collective guilt and decreased collective victimization, subsequently enhancing support for the LGBTQ community. Moreover, social network diversity was shown to override the framing effect, as individuals who reported high diversity were more likely to sign a petition in solidarity with the LGBTQ community, irrespective of frame condition.  相似文献
