The home advantage in sport competitions: Courneya and Carron's (1992) conceptual framework a decade later     

Carron AV  Loughhead TM  Bray SR 《Journal of sports sciences》2005,23(4):395-407

This paper had three aims. The first was to review research carried out on the home advantage from 1992 to the present. The second was to examine the extent to which a conceptual framework proposed by Courneya and Carron (1992) was/is viable as a tool to highlight and organize an understanding of the home advantage. The final aim was to provide suggestions for future research.  相似文献   

Batting last as a home advantage factor in men's NCAA tournament baseball     

Bray SR  Obara J  Kwan M 《Journal of sports sciences》2005,23(7):681-686

In baseball and softball, there is a rule that allows the home team to have the last at-bat and thus the final opportunity to win the game. However, in tournament play, this rule is often set aside and, instead, batting order is decided by other means (e.g. tournament rules, the flip of a coin). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the batting last rule on game outcome in NCAA men's regional tournament baseball. It was hypothesized that host (i.e. home) teams would win a greater percentage of the games in which they batted last compared with when they batted first. This hypothesis was not supported. Closer examination of the last inning of play showed home teams were no more likely to have won the game during their last bat than visitors playing other visitors. The results suggest that the batting last rule contributes minimally, if at all, to home advantage in NCAA tournament baseball.  相似文献   

Education and Nation Building in Nigeria since the Civil War     

T. M. Bray  G. R. Cooper 《比较教育学》1979,15(1):33-41

Nigeria, perhaps more than other African nations, faces the awesome task of forging a nation out of a diversity of cultures. The need was accentuated by the tragic civil war that engulfed Nigeria from 1967‐1970. In the task of reconstruction and reconciliation that is now being undertaken, education plays a major role.  相似文献   

Provision of Higher Education in Small States: Demands, Constraints and Strategies   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mark Bray 《Higher Education Quarterly》1990,44(3):264-281

Over half the world's sovereign states have populations below five million, and over a quarter have populations below one million. Recognising this fact, the literature on small states has grown markedly in recent decades. However, many educational issues remain unexplored. This paper commences by discussing the dimensions of scale and the nature of small states. It then turns to the demand for local provision of higher education in small states, commenting particulary on social, political, economic and educational factors. The third part notes constraints on local provision of higher education, of which the most obvious is financial. Fourthly, the paper discusses strategies to avoid these constraints, focusing in particular on ways to expand institutions to secure economies of scale. These strategies cannot be applicable to all states, but they nevertheless provide an illuminating array of potential ways to meet demands.  相似文献   

Children with Disabilities and the Education System: the experiences of fifteen fathers     

Keith Ballard  Anne Bray  Eric J. Shelton  John Clarkson 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1997,44(3):229-241

Fifteen fathers of children with disabilities living in urban and rural settings were interviewed about their experiences which included their interactions with teachers and other professionals in the school system. The fathers’ accounts revealed issues similar to those reported in studies in which mothers were the participants. Where early childhood centres and schools are rejecting of children with disabilities, and where resources are difficult to access, parents experience stress. Supportive professionals and educational settings, on the other hand, are experienced as contributing to child development and family well‐being.  相似文献   

The Decentralisation Of Education In Kerala State, India: Rhetoric And Reality     

Mullikottu-Veettil Mukundan  Mark Bray 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》2004,4(1):223-243

The decentralisation of educational administration has been widely advocated as a strategy to promote local participation in education. However, the fact that this advocacy has a long history raises the question why decentralisation has not been achieved in more educational systems. The answers to this question are many and complex. Among them are difficulties with the implementation of reforms. The present study examines some of these difficulties in Kerala State, India. It determines that although Kerala has a strong reputation for political participation, the rhetoric of decentralisation in the educational sector has not matched the reality there. The lessons to be learned in this context have wide implications for the theory and practice of decentralisation in education.  相似文献
