The Impact of Information Literacy-Related Instruction in the Science Classroom: Clickers Versus Nonclickers     

Richard J. Moniz Jr.  Joe Eshleman  David Jewell  Brian Mooney  Christine Tran 《College & Undergraduate Libraries》2013,20(4):349-364

The goal of information literacy instruction is to enable students to develop skills that they can use for life to facilitate their empowerment through information. Instruction librarians, particularly those teaching Millenials whose need for “hands on” instruction has been widely emphasized, are constantly searching for methodologies that will provide appropriate levels of interactive instruction. Many methods for enhancing the relevance of library instruction have been discussed in the literature. This study, designed and developed by a collaborative team of librarians and science faculty, describes the effects of providing course-integrated, interactive (with clickers) information literacy instruction to undergraduates at a small private nonprofit university in the Southeast.  相似文献   

Federal Bills and Resolutions     

Joe Morehead 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(1-2):149-158

The introduction of federal legislation, mandated by Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution, is in the form of bills and joint resolutions. This article reviews aspects of the lawmaking process in the context of constitutional amendments; commemorative legislation; pork-barrel measures, including logrolling; and a bill about the United coinage system. Throughout, the examples given show the difficulty of passage from bill to law, made deliberately arduous by the framers of the Constitution.  相似文献   

Measuring patients' communication apprehension about interacting with physicians: Instrument development     

Joe Ayres  Noelle Colby‐Rotell  Paul Mark Wadleigh  Tim Hopf 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(1):86-93

The purpose of these studies was to develop an instrument to measure patients' perceived communication apprehension in patient/physician interactions. In the first stydy, a five item Patients' Report of Communication Apprehension with Physicians (PRCAP) was developed. The scale appears to be a reliable, unidimensional scale which shows a moderate positive correlation with the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA), a moderate negative correlation with willingness to communicate (WTC), and a moderate negative correlation with self‐perceived communication competence (SPCC). In the second study, designed to assess the predictive validity of the PRCAP, those who scored one standard deviation above the mean on the PRCAP reported being less satisfied with their interactions with physicians than those who scored one standard deviation below the mean on the PRCAP. It appears the PRCAP is a reliable and valid instrument that can be employed to pursue issues involving the role of CA in patient/physician interactions.  相似文献   

Two empirical tests of a videotape designed to reduce public speaking anxiety     

Joe Ayres  Frances E. Ayres  Alan L. Baker  Noelle Colby  Camille De Blasi  Debbie Dimke 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(2):132-147

These studies were designed to determine: 1) if a videotape could be used to help people cope with public speaking anxiety; 2) how this videotape compared with other interventions; 3) whether the video could be used on a self‐help basis; and 4) whether the video would be effective over time. These issues were addressed in two separate studies. These studies indicated that the videotape reduced self‐reported levels of trait CA, state CA, and negative thinking. The first study linked the videotape to reduced rigidity while the second linked the videotape to reduced agitation. The second study also found trait CA to be reduced over time. Meta‐analysis was used to compare these data with other interventions. That analysis revealed this videotape was generally more effective than other interventions in reducing trait CA in study one. The videotape was found to reduce state CA and negative thinking more than other interventions in study two. These and other results are discussed at the conclusion of these studies.  相似文献

Developing Creativity and Related Attitudes     

Joe E. Shivley  John F. Feldhusen  Donald J. Treffinger 《Journal of Experimental Education》2013,81(2):63-69

Sixteen fifth-grade teachers and 377 pupils served as Ss in experimental classes. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking were used as pretests and posttests and the Childhood Attitude Inventory for Problem Solving was given as a posttest. Eight of the experimental classes used the Purdue Creative Thinking Program (PCTP) for five weeks and eight used the Productive Thinking Program (PTP). Eight teachers used relevant discussion, eight did not; eight teachers were high and eight low in creative ability. Pupils in all conditions made significant gains on verbal and nonverbal originality and nonverbal fluency. Teachers who were low in creative ability had lower means. There were several significant interactions among the three independent variables.  相似文献   

Human Sciences,Sport Sciences,and the Need to Study People “In the Round”     

Joe Maguire 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2013,65(2):190-206

The current orthodoxy regarding science within sport science is rethought so as to enable the social sciences to enter the field and allow for a debate over the nature and purpose of the sport sciences. An alternative vision of the potential of the sport sciences is proposed: A more “scientific” picture of human beings may be produced if human beings are studied “in the round,” capturing them as whole selves, not as isolated physiological or psychological units. If a multidisciplinary synthesis were adopted, the subject, via its component disciplines, would provide a model for the reintegration of disciplines in the urgent need to study people in human-development and not performance-efficiency terms.  相似文献

Lemons to Lemonade: How Five Challenges in Teaching Macro Practice Helped to Strengthen Our Course     

Joe Dooley  Sherril Sellers  Cornelia Gordon‐Hempe 《Journal of Teaching in Social Work》2013,33(4):431-448

Teaching macro practice can be challenging. While students have some concepts of what macro practice entails, their knowledge may be limited and sometimes inaccurate. Moreover, students may be reluctant to engage in macro change efforts. Given the scarcity of literature regarding teaching macro practice and the growing importance of it in social work, this article addresses major issues that we encountered in teaching macro practice at a large Midwestern school of social work. In our institution only 6% of students are enrolled in macro concentrations and we wish to encourage students to expand their interests in macro practice even if they do not wish to pursue a macro concentration. We describe a macro practice course we designed to meet the challenges of teaching community, organization, and policy practice skills to master's level and advanced undergraduate students. Our goal is to expand the macro practice pedagogy literature and encourage social work faculty to consider both established and innovative ways of introducing the planned change process in community, organization, and policy practice to their students.  相似文献
