Immersion,Reflection, Failure: Teaching Graduate Students to Teach Writing Online     

Stephen David Grover  Kelli Cargile Cook  Heidi Skurat Harris  Kevin Eric DePew 《Technical Communication Quarterly》2017,26(3):242-255

ABSTRACT

A common challenge facing those who prepare graduate students to teach writing online is the need to help those students connect online writing instruction (OWI) theory with their classroom practice. The authors present how graduate students are prepared to teach writing online at three universities and then synthesize those approaches to highlight three principles that can guide effective OWI preparation for graduate students in any program: immersion, reflection, and failure.  相似文献   

Change in Family Income-to-Needs Matters More for Children with Less   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

Eric Dearing  Kathleen McCartney  & Beck A. Taylor 《Child development》2001,72(6):1779-1793

Hierarchical linear modeling was used to model the dynamics of family income-to-needs for participants of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care (N = 1,364) from the time that children were 1 through 36 months of age. Associations between change in income-to-needs and 36-month child outcomes (i.e., school readiness, receptive language, expressive language, positive social behavior, and behavior problems) were examined. Although change in income-to-needs proved to be of little importance for children from nonpoor families, it proved to be of great importance for children from poor families. For children in poverty, decreases in income-to-needs were associated with worse outcomes and increases were associated with better outcomes. In fact, when children from poor families experienced increases in income-to-needs that were at least 1 SD above the mean change for poor families, they displayed outcomes similar to their nonpoor peers. The practical importance and policy implications of these findings are discussed.  相似文献   

Coteaching in Counselor Education: Preparing Doctoral Students for Future Teaching     

Eric R. Baltrinic  Marty Jencius  Jason McGlothlin 《Counselor Education & Supervision》2016,55(1):31-45

This phenomenological study explored 10 counselor education doctoral students' coteaching experiences with faculty members. Three coteaching structures identified from the data were relational, operational, and developmental. A definition of coteaching supported by the findings is presented. Implications for counselor education programs, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.  相似文献   

A Bayesian Method for Evaluating Passing Scores: The PPoP Curve     

Howard Wainer  X. A. Wang  William P. Skorupski  Eric T. Bradlow 《Journal of Educational Measurement》2005,42(3):271-281

In this note, we demonstrate an interesting use of the posterior distributions (and corresponding posterior samples of proficiency) that are yielded by fitting a fully Bayesian test scoring model to a complex assessment. Specifically, we examine the efficacy of the test in combination with the specific passing score that was chosen through expert judgment, or, in general, any external a priori criterion. In addition, we study the robustness of the test's efficacy with respect to choice of the passing score.  相似文献   

Effects of kindergarten retention for at-risk children’s psychosocial development     

Machteld Vandecandelaere  Eric Schmitt  Gudrun Vanlaar  Bieke De Fraine  Jan Van Damme 《教育心理学》2016,36(8):1354-1389

Kindergarten retention is a popular practice for children who are considered unready for primary school. However, past research has not yet succeeded to find consistent, strong empirical evidence supporting the practice. In the current study, kindergarten repeaters’ development in nine psychosocial domains is compared with that of equally at risk but (1) continuously promoted age-mates and (2) promoted age-mates who repeated first grade instead. Analysing data from a large-scale longitudinal study using propensity score matching and multilevel modelling, the findings reveal no harm of kindergarten retention for at-risk children’s long term psychosocial development. Rather, we find that, relative to equally at-risk but continuously promoted children, kindergarten repeaters benefit from retention with respect to higher levels of well-being, and peer relations, and lower levels of hyperactivity, aggression and asocial behaviour. Compared to similar children who were promoted but who were retained in first grade instead, kindergarten repeaters are found to benefit more from retention with respect to higher levels of well-being, self-confidence, attitude to work and independent behaviour, and lower levels of hyperactivity.  相似文献   

Constructing a Pragmatic Science of Learning and Instruction with Functional Contextualism   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3  

Eric J. Fox 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2006,54(1):5-36

Constructivism has been embraced by many in the field of instructional design and technology (IDT), but its advocates have struggled to move beyond theory to practice or to empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach. As an alternative to constructivism, a new perspective emerging in psychology, known as functional contextualism, is presented. Like constructivism, functional contextualism also rejects objectivist epistemology, but provides a much more coherent philosophical basis on which to build an empirical science of learning and instruction. The philosophical worldview known as contextualism is reviewed to outline the similarities and differences between constructivism and functional contextualism, and the key characteristics of functional contextualism and the science it supports, behavior analysis, are described. Implications of functional contextualism for research and practice in IDT are then explored.

This article was written while he was a doctoral student in the Learning & Instructional Technology program at Arizona State University.  相似文献

Reading and spelling difficulties in high school students: Causes and consequences     

Donald Shankweiler  Eric Lundquist  Lois G. Dreyer  Cheryl C. Dickinson 《Reading and writing》1996,8(3):267-294

Basic skills in reading and spelling and supporting metalinguistic abilities were assessed in ninth and tenth grade students in two school settings. Students attending a private high school for the learning disabled comprised one group and the other comprised low to middle range students from a public high school. Both the LD students and the regular high school students displayed deficiencies in spelling and in decoding, a factor in reading difficulty that is commonly supposed to dwindle in importance after the elementary school years. Treating the overlapping groups as a single sample, multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the contribution of nonword decoding skill and phonological and morphological awareness to spelling ability. The analysis revealed that decoding was the major component, predicting about half of the variance in spelling. The effect of phonological awareness was largely hidden by its high correlation with decoding, but was a significant predictor of spelling in its own right. Morphological awareness predicted spelling skill when the words to be spelled were morphologically complex. An additional study showed that differences in decoding and spelling ability were associated with differences in comprehension after controlling for reading experience and vocabulary. Even among experienced readers individual differences in comprehension of text reflect efficiency of phonological processing at the word level.  相似文献

Testing the Significance of Correlations     

Eric D. Nordmoe 《Teaching Statistics》1996,18(1):20-22

A simple problem of the sort often faced by elementary statistics students forms the basis for a discussion of several important hypothesis testing issues. These issues are often overlooked when moving from simple tests of means to bivariate inference problems.  相似文献
