Critically Redefining and Repositioning Media Texts in Early Childhood Teacher Education: What If? And Why?     

Mariana Souto-Manning  Detra Price-Dennis 《Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education》2013,34(4):304-321

Given the prevalence of popular media in the lives of young children today, early childhood teacher education stands to benefit from fostering critical media literacy practices. Through the use of critical media literary practices, early childhood teacher educators can facilitate a process whereby preservice teachers learn how to critically reposition cartoons and other media texts, transforming them into tools for more equitable teaching. Offering a situated representation of this phenomenon, this article features a semester-long qualitative study in which a teacher educator engaged preservice teacher educators in critically reading the texts and contexts of media, while simultaneously discussing inequities in education and society. Findings indicate that such media texts can serve as codifications of generative themes whereby preservice teachers can start acknowledging and addressing issues of inequity. Implications point toward the power and possibilities of early childhood teacher educators engaging preservice teachers in making curricula more accessible and equitable by repositioning popular culture media texts in early childhood classrooms.  相似文献

Librarian-Lead Tutorial for Enhancement of Pharmacy Students' Information-Searching Skills in Advanced Experiential Rotations     

Mariana Lapidus  Maria D. Kostka-Rokosz  Lana Dvorkin-Camiel 《Medical reference services quarterly》2013,32(4):351-362

Pharmacy schools across the United States expose students to literature searching and evaluation mostly during required didactic drug information courses. The majority of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students do not utilize library-available electronic resources on a regular basis, and their didactic experience alone is not sufficient to make them successful in their advanced experiential drug information (DI) rotations. This pilot study demonstrates an improvement of students' perceptions regarding information searching and evaluating abilities as the result of their participation in a small group tutorial with a reference librarian, thus indicating effectiveness of the tutorial in refreshing and enhancing database knowledge skills.  相似文献   

Visual Guidance in Infants' Reaching toward Suddenly Displaced Targets     

Daniel H. Ashmead  Michael E. McCarty  Linda S. Lucas  Mariana C. Belvedere 《Child development》1993,64(4):1111-1127

This experiment evaluated the role of visual input about the location of a target object and the location of the hand in reaching by infants and adults. 5- and 9-month-old infants were presented with illuminated toys to reach for in a dark room. On no-switch trials, the toy remained illuminated throughout the infant's reach, whereas on switch trials the first-lit toy was replaced during the reach by a second-lit toy at a different position. On approximately half of the trials of each type a luminescent marker was attached to the reaching hand. Adult subjects (tested without the hand marker) fully compensated to the second-lit toy on switch trials, during a second reaching segment. On switch trials, 9-month-olds partially adjusted to the second-lit toy when wearing the hand marker and did not adjust without it. On no-switch trials, 9-month-olds reached just as accurately with or without the hand marker. 5-month-olds were generally inaccurate in their reaching and were unaffected by the presence or absence of the hand marker. The findings suggest that during the development of reaching there is an increase in visual guidance during the approach phase of reaches.  相似文献   

The effect of local labor market conditions in the 1990s on the likelihood of community college students’ persistence and attainment     

Gregory S. Kienzl  Mariana Alfonso  Tatiana Melguizo 《Research in higher education》2007,48(7):751-774

This study analyzes the influence of local labor market conditions on the year-to-year persistence and attainment decisions of a sample of traditional-aged students who attended community colleges during the 1990s. The findings suggest that the enrollment and attainment decisions of these first-time community college students were not made purely as a response to changes in tuition costs, but rather the result of a more interconnected process whereby changes in tuition, local labor market conditions, and the relative change in both are considered. For those who are sensitive to these relative costs, the likelihood of dropping out is increased. Of those who remained enrolled, the evidence suggests that an increase in tuition appears to provide an incentive or extra motivation to finish a degree, especially an associate’s degree. This finding does not support the raising of in-state tuition to improve student outcomes; rather it draws attention to the complexity involved in student persistence and attainment decision-making.  相似文献   

A ‘Presidential Look’? An Analysis of Gender Framing in 2016 Persuasive Memes of Hillary Clinton     

Rebecca Coates Nee  Mariana De Maio 《广播与电子媒介杂志》2019,63(2):304-321

A persuasive campaign with elements of propaganda was waged on social media against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 U.S. presidential race, partially through a Russian-financed effort to discredit her. This study analyzed doctored images (memes) posted on Twitter about Clinton during the general election campaign. Through qualitative content analysis, researchers sought to identify whether negative memes reflected socially constructed gender stereotypes. Results show gendered frames used in memes against Clinton were based on female biological/physical traits (weak, ill, unattractive), anti-feminine traits (dishonest, untrustworthy), and negative female politician traits (dictatorial, unqualified) that were incongruent with the perceived role of the presidency.  相似文献   

The good,the bad and the ugly: Three faces of social media usage by local governments     

Patrícia Silva  António F. Tavares  Tiago Silva  Mariana Lameiras 《Government Information Quarterly》2019,36(3):469-479

This article explores the determinants of local governments' use of social networking sites. It does so by analysing the relative impact of institutional, political and social determinants, while controlling for the impact of mayors' traits and social characteristics of municipalities on local governments levels of activity on Facebook. Empirically, this article presents a within-case analysis of Portuguese municipalities' activity on social media, aiming to shed light on the strategic use of social media by local governments. A coherent picture associated with politically pro-active local governments emerges from the results: higher levels of social media activity appear in municipalities with more competitive local elections and higher commitment to transparency. Moreover, findings suggest that local governments tend to be concerned with the low levels of voter turnout, potentially resorting to social media as a powerful tool to increase civic engagement and (offline) political participation. Levels of Facebook activity are significantly higher in larger and wealthier municipalities. The results indicate that Facebook official pages of municipalities are part of a larger arsenal of tools to promote political engagement and activity levels signal a propensity to involve citizens pro-actively.  相似文献

Educación y desarrollo     

Mariana Miras 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(54):3-17

Resumen

El artículo, de carácter fundamentalmente divulgativo, presenta y contrasta dos concepciones actuales referentes a la relación que existe entre educación y desarrollo. Se analiza en primer lugar el concepto de desarrollo que ha prevalecido en el ámbito psicológico a lo largo de las últimas décadas, poniendo de relieve sus implicaciones respecto al papel de la educación en este proceso.

Se plantea posteriormente como hipótesis alternativa la perspectiva histórico-cultural, generada a partir de los trabajos de Vygotoski y sus colaboradores, perspectiva que define una nueva concepción del desarrollo psicológico y replantea su relación con los procesos educativos. Tras analizar en este sentido el papel de la educación y, más específicamente, de la educación formal o escolarización, se indican algunas cuestiones abiertas que, desde esta perspectiva, requieren hoy en día de mayor esfuerzo investigador.  相似文献   

Building Bridges in Teacher Education: Creating Partnerships With Parents     

Mary M. Murray  Mariana Mereoiu  Lisa M. Handyside 《The Teacher Educator》2013,48(3):218-233

This study investigated the learning experiences, outcomes, and perceptions of graduate students in a collaboration and consultation course focusing on parent-professional partnerships. The course was designed as a teacher preparation model that envisions teachers, school psychologists, and families learning together to build effective partnerships to better student outcomes. Nineteen graduate students seeking a degree in special education or school psychology were provided multiple opportunities to engage in experiences with parents of children with disabilities, including having parents embedded in the course for the entire semester. Data were collected utilizing multiple methods and included a family/professional partnership survey and focus group discussions conducted both pre- and post-course, as well as a Learning Objectives and Activities Survey. Analyses of qualitative and quantitative data indicate a change in students' knowledge, beliefs, dispositions, and experiences of parent-professional partnerships.  相似文献
