支持虚拟学习环境情境时空维度的用户研究

随着可用的无线移动设备的不断增长,人们对信息检索的需求也越来越大。基于时间的调度服务和基于坐标的定位服务被视为情境感知应用的两个基本点。目前,基于时间的情境感知服务已经应用较多,但存在不能个性化测量等问题。基于坐标的定位服务能否成为常用的基于时间服务系统的替代方法？基于时间和空间维度的RSS信息检索小应用程序的用户研究显示：两种应用程序都有助于接收信息、支持学生组织自己的学习,但是在个人空间中不论基于空间的服务还是基于时间的服务,效果均不突出,而且位置信息被视作不太适宜的环境信息。  相似文献

Who disrupts from placement in foster and kinship care?     

Chamberlain P  Price JM  Reid JB  Landsverk J  Fisher PA  Stoolmiller M 《Child abuse & neglect》2006,30(4):409-424

OBJECTIVE: To identify reliable, inexpensive predictors of foster care placement disruption that could be used to assess risk of placement failure. METHODS: Using the Parent Daily Report Checklist (PDR), foster or kinship parents of 246 children (5-12 years old) in California were interviewed three times about whether or not their foster child engaged in any of the 30 problem behaviors during the previous 24 h. PDR was conducted during telephone contacts (5-10 min each) that occurred from 1 to 3 days apart at baseline. Disruptions were tracked for the subsequent 12 months. Other potential predictors of disruption were examined, including the child's age, gender, and ethnicity, the foster parent's ethnicity, the number of other children in the foster home, and the type of placement (kin or non-kin). RESULTS: Foster/kin parents reported an average of 5.77 child problems per day on the PDR checklist. The number of problem behaviors was linearly related to the child's risk of placement disruption during the subsequent year. The threshold for the number of problem behaviors per day that foster and kinship parents tolerated without increased risk of placement disruption for these latency-aged children was 6 or fewer. Children in non-kin placements were more likely to disrupt than those in kinship placements. There was a trend for increased risk of disruption as the number of children in the home increased. CONCLUSIONS: The PDR Checklist may be useful in predicting which placements are at most risk of future disruption, allowing for targeted services and supports.  相似文献   

Personality profiles and dogmatism in undergraduate teacher education students     

G. Robert Ward  Claude H. Cunningham  Mary Lue Summerlin 《Psychology in the schools》1978,15(1):33-36

A sample of 435 junior education majors in a large Southwestern university were given the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire and the Opinion Scale. Correlations were computed between these two scales, and a profile of personality factors was developed which defined the nature of authoritarianism or dogmatism. A step-wise multiple regression analysis revealed that an accurate prediction formula for dogmatism could not be developed from the personality factor scores. Implications for teacher education programs include research to determine if treatment programs can be developed to change a student's degree of dogmatism, and the importance of screening procedures which include an assessment of open-mindedness.  相似文献   

A review of educators' attitudes toward handicapped children and the concept of mainstreaming     

Cara Alexander  Phillip S. Strain 《Psychology in the schools》1978,15(3):390-396

Literature is reviewed related to the attitudes of educators toward handicapped children and the concept of mainstreaming these youngsters into regular class settings. Opinionnaire data suggest that regular class educators, particularly those with little formal training or experience in special education, do not favor mainstreaming. Moreover, these educators view handicapped children as generally less able to benefit from schooling. Research is also reviewed that documents the relationship between teachers' attitudes toward individual pupils and the differential instructional treatment of children. Finally, efforts to modify the attitudes and perceptions of educators toward handicapped children and mainstreaming are presented.  相似文献   

Perceived Value of Certification as a Process for Training Managers: A Case Study From the Hospitality Industry     

Phillip C. Wright 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》1990,3(3):45-60

This paper uses a qualitative research methodology to investigate the perceived value of certification as a process for training managers in the lodging industry. Using a “stakeholder group” to provide face validity, a dual-level sample was contacted, consisting of 10 high-ranking corporate-level managers and 185 hotel general managers. Respondents were asked to determine how they would distribute resources in support of various academic qualifications, including a certification program sponsored by the American Hotel and Motel Association—the “Certified Rooms Division Executive” (CRDE). Respondents also were asked to rank qualifications in terms of utility for hiring and promotion. The following major conclusions were reached. In the hospitality industry: (a) Certification is seen as a viable methodology for training in lower-level management skills, especially among those property level general managers who have little formal education; (b) there was a clear distinction between support for certification at the corporate vice-presidential level and the property general managers' level, with property level managers expressing greater support; and (c) the CRDE is “valued” above a generic two-year degree, in both hiring and first promotion, if other “personal” factors are ignored.  相似文献
