Reading Science Texts—Epistemology, Inquiry, Authenticity—A Rejoinder to Jonathan Osborne   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Stephen P. Norris  Hedda Falk  Marta Federico-Agraso  María Pilar Jiménez-Aleixandre  Linda M. Phillips  Anat Yarden 《Research in Science Education》2009,39(3):405-410

We shall structure this rejoinder around two main sections. In the first, we address three underlying assumptions of our work that Osborne has identified. We indicate points of agreement, disagreement, and clarification. In the second section, we discuss briefly and add our clarifications to three understandings of his that Osborne introduces into the discussion. It should be noted that Osborne’s response is grounded in the same basic assumption as our set of papers, namely, the central role played by reading and writing, and communicative activities in general, both in science and in learning science.  相似文献   

Reimagining the Role of Human Services Workers: Staff Experiences of a Social Change Initiative     

Nancy Spencer-Cavaliere  Bethan C. Kingsley  Carmen Norris 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》2018,65(2):214-228

Despite recognition that social inclusion is a primary goal within the field of human services, people with disabilities continue to live lives of clienthood, marginalisation, and exclusion and human services staff struggle to make social inclusion a priority. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of human services staff about their experiences of an organisationally inspired initiative intended to change the focus of their everyday practices to better facilitate the social inclusion of persons with disabilities. A qualitative case study was used to gather observations, field and reflective notes, semi-structured interviews with staff (n = 15), and reflexive journaling. Thematic analysis of the data led to three themes: (a) challenges, old and new, (b) needing (careful) change, and (c) creating, learning and working together. These findings highlight the complexity of how to create change in the field of human services, but also demonstrate how innovative approaches have the potential to shift and reimagine how human services workers can better support people with disabilities in living meaningful lives.  相似文献   

A survey of selected administrative practices supporting student evaluation of instruction programs     

Isaac I. Bejar 《Research in higher education》1975,3(1):77-86

A mail survey of 333 American universities was conducted to assess the current status of Student Evaluation of Instruction. Based on a 68% return, it was concluded that there has been an increase in the popularity of student ratings as a means of evaluating faculty performance, as well as an increase in the frequency with which evaluation results are used in decisions concerning faculty status. However, at most universities, research on the rating instruments does not seem to have kept pace with the decisions that are based on the rating instruments.  相似文献

Genetic testing and its implications: human genetics researchers grapple with ethical issues.     

Isaac Rabino 《Science, technology & human values》2003,28(2):365-402

To better understand ethical issues involved in the field of human genetics and promote debate within the scientific community, the author surveyed scientists who engage in human genetics research about the pros, cons, and ethical implications of genetic testing. This study contributes systematic data on attitudes of scientific experts. The survey finds respondents are highly supportive of voluntary testing and the right to know one's genetic heritage. The majority consider in utero testing and consequent pregnancy termination acceptable for cases involving likelihood of serious disease but disapprove for genetic reasons they consider arbitrary, leaving a gray area of distinguishing between treatment of disorders and enhancement still to be resolved. While safeguarding patient confidentiality versus protecting at-risk third parties (kin, reproductive partners) presents a dilemma, preserving privacy from misuse by institutional third parties (employers, insurers) garners strong consensus for legislation against discrimination. Finally, a call is made for greater genetic literacy.  相似文献   

Novice teachers as organisational people: expectations of a professional work environment,collegiality, recognition and respect     

Bella Gavish  Isaac A. Friedman 《Educational studies》2011,37(4):451-467

This study introduces a model of novice teachers’ expectations together with supporting empirical evidence. The model is sectorial, distinguishing novice teachers’ expectations according to their reciprocal relations with their partners in the school. The study investigated 237 teachers attending internship programmes at five large teachers training colleges in Israel, using a self‐report questionnaire. The findings revealed that: (1) the expectations of novice teachers are based on a sectorial organisational view of the school, as proposed by role theory; (2) novice teachers have very high expectations of their organisational work environment; and (3) their highest expectations are for public recognition of the importance of teaching, while the lowest expectations are for receiving support and backing from the partners in the educational process. The article discusses novice teachers’ views of their function as organisational people and of the school as an arena for developing and nurturing their organisational selves.  相似文献   

Keystroke Dynamics: Establishing Keyprints to Verify Users in Online Courses     

Jay R. Young  Jeffrey L. Jenkins  Isaac Pfleger 《学校用计算机》2019,36(1):48-68

This study examined the potential use of keystroke dynamics to create keyprints (typing fingerprints) to authenticate individuals in online courses. Previous studies have determined that keystroke typing patterns are unique; in addition to replicating these findings, this study explored best practices for implementing keyprint signatures in situations other than simple password or key phrase verification. While authentication can be difficult when attempting to correctly identify individual users, the results of this study indicate that keyprints can reliably indicate negative cases (a typing sample that is likely not the intended student). The results of this study suggest that complete keyprint signatures are better than keyprint profiles (reduced keyprints based on unique typing patterns only). Results also suggest that keyprint signatures are most reliable when a variety of methods are used to obtain keyprint data (i.e., both copy typing and free typing). Small comparison samples increase the challenge of identification but do not prevent the system from identifying negative cases.  相似文献
