Visual motor integration as a screener for responders and non-responders in preschool and early school years: implications for inclusive assessment in Oman     

Mahmoud Mohamed Emam  Ali Mahdi Kazem 《International Journal of Inclusive Education》2016,20(10):1109-1121

Visual motor integration (VMI) is the ability of the eyes and hands to work together in smooth, efficient patterns. In Oman, there are few effective methods to assess VMI skills in children in inclusive settings. The current study investigated the performance of preschool and early school years responders and non-responders on a VMI test. The full range test of visual motor integration (FRTVMI) was administered to a sample of 359 children from preschool and elementary school settings in Oman. A two-way analysis of variance showed that there are statistically significant differences in VMI between preschool and early school non-responders. Gender did not show any effect on preschool children's performance on the FRTVMI, whereas it had an effect on elementary school children's performance. Results of the study are discussed in relation to the use of VMI assessment in screening for responders and non-responders in preschool and elementary school settings. Implications for psycho-educational assessment of children who struggle academically in inclusive settings are presented.  相似文献   

儿童与父母冲突--亲子互动研究的一个重要课题     

杨阿丽  赵伍 《河北北方学院学报(社会科学版)》2002,18(5):68-71

目前亲子互动研究成为一个非常重要的课题。父母冲突作为考察亲子互动关系的一个重要变量,逐渐成为研究者关注的重要问题。尽管20世纪70年代以来,国外已从某些角度揭示了父母冲突与儿童发展的关系,并在一定程度上探讨了父母冲突对儿童的影响。但我国目前还没有系统的儿童与父母冲突的研究。因此,从我国的具体情况入手探讨亲子冲突对丰富和发展儿童心理学的基本理论,全面了解并有效促进儿童发展具有重要的理论和实践意义。  相似文献   

Jordanian Pre‐service Teachers' Perceptions of the Portfolio as a Reflective Learning Tool     

Ruba Fahmi Bataineh  Samih Mahmoud Al‐Karasneh  Ali Ahmad Al‐Barakat  Rula Fahmi Bataineh 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education》2007,35(4):435-454

This study investigates how portfolios support pre‐service teachers' learning to teach. The findings revealed that the portfolio provides pre‐service teachers with productive learning experiences which help them develop their library use, knowledge, skills, attitudes, personal traits, motivation to learn, interpersonal relationships and an information source. The respondents were found to consider the portfolio a highly effective tool in their learning to teach.  相似文献

The Boundary Between Finite and Infinite States Through the Concept of Limits of Sequences     

Ali Barahmand 《International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education》2017,15(3):569-585

In this article, attempts were made to examine students’ thinking about the concepts of infinity and their ideas about transiting from finite to infinite states through the concept of limits of sequences. The participants included 78 senior high-school students ranging in age between 17 and 19 years old. The data were collected through a questionnaire and an interview with all of the subjects. The findings showed that the students’ understanding of infinity is related to finite situations and many students consider infinite processes as a generalized form of finite processes. In the present study, the most common mistakes committed by students were related to consideration of infinity as a number and application of known finite results to infinite states.  相似文献

The COVID‐19 (Coronavirus) pandemic: reflections on the roles of librarians and information professionals     

Muhammad Yousuf Ali  Peter Gatiti 《Health information and libraries journal》2020,37(2):158-162

This Regular Feature explores the role of health science librarians in the coronavirus pandemic. COVID‐19 has spread rapidly all over the world. All major cities around the globe are in lockdown. In Pakistan, the first case was diagnosed on 26 February 2020, and currently, there are more than 2039 diagnosed cases and 26 deaths as on 31 March 2020. Across the country, there are further 12 000 suspected cases. This will undoubtedly increase if precautionary measures are not taken. Pakistani universities, colleges and schools were in lockdown. The role of university librarians in this emergency included raising awareness through public health education, providing support to medical staff, researchers and providing ongoing traditional services to regular library patrons in Pakistan. The Regular Feature also provides links to useful resources. JM.  相似文献

The role of gestures in the mathematical practices of those who do not see with their eyes     

Lulu Healy  Solange Hassan Ahmad Ali Fernandes 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2011,77(2-3):157-174

In this paper, we aim to contribute to the discussion of the role of the human body and of the concrete artefacts and signs created by humankind in the constitution of meanings for mathematical practices. We argue that cognition is both embodied and situated in the activities through which it occurs and that mathematics learning involves the appropriation of practices associated with the sets of artefacts that have historically come to represent the body of knowledge we call mathematics. This process of appropriation involves a coordination of a variety of the semiotic resources??spoken and written languages, mathematical representation systems, drawings, gestures and the like??through which mathematical objects and relationships might be experienced and expressed. To highlight the connections between perceptual activities and cultural concepts in the meanings associated with this process, we concentrate on learners who do not have access to the visual field. More specifically, we present three examples of gesture use in the practices of blind mathematics students??all involving the exploration of geometrical objects and relationships. On the basis of our analysis of these examples, we argue that gestures are illustrative of imagined reenactions of previously experienced activities and that they emerge in instructional situations as embodied abstractions, serving a central role in the sense-making practices associated with the appropriation of mathematical meanings.  相似文献   

Exploring design features to enhance computer‐based assessment: Learners' views on using a confidence‐indicator tool and computer‐based feedback     

Ingrid Nix  Ali Wyllie 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2011,42(1):101-112

Many institutions encourage formative computer‐based assessment (CBA), yet competing priorities mean that learners are necessarily selective about what they engage in. So how can we motivate them to engage? Can we facilitate learners to take more control of shaping their learning experience? To explore this, the Learning with Interactive Assessment (LINA) project, a small‐scale study, trialed a selection of online, interactive question features designed to increase motivation, particularly of work‐based learners, and to enhance learners' ability to self‐regulate their own learning experience. We present initial findings on learner perceptions of: (1) a confidence indicator tool—for learners to indicate their confidence that their answer will be correct before answering a question; (2) a learning log—for learners to insert reflections or view system‐recorded information about their learning pathway; and (3) question feedback—for displaying a range of author comments. Themes emerged relating to motivational, behavioural and cognitive factors, including risk taking and skills in self‐assessment. A serendipitous finding highlights learners' frequently not reading onscreen feedback and presents perceptions on when feedback becomes most useful. Motivators and barriers to engagement and self‐regulation are discussed in relation to principles of best feedback practice.  相似文献
