From balance to blasphemy: shifting metaphors for researching early childhood education     

Felicity McArdle  Erica McWilliam 《International journal of qualitative studies in education》2013,26(3):323-336

This paper seeks to make trouble for the metaphor of ‘balance’ in early childhood education research, drawing on the arguments of Gore (, ), Haraway (), McWilliam (), and a study (McArdle, ) that was designed to focus not only on teacher practice, but also to inquire into ways of speaking teacher practice. Our rationale for trouble‐making is to ask questions about the way that the imperative to ‘balance’ disallows the investigation of pedagogy as a more complex field of practice, one that is inevitably riddled with unresolved and unresolvable contradictions and tensions. To understand how it is possible to think structure as freedom, we are forced to refuse any neat distinction between what enables and what constrains (McWilliam, ). For Haraway (), inquiry is ‘blasphemous’ when it refuses to ‘see’ practices in terms of the possibility of resolution, focusing instead on the irony of their unresolvability.  相似文献

Early investment: the use of Action Research in developing the role of an educational psychologist in an early years setting     

Erica Douglas-Osborn 《Educational Psychology in Practice》2017,33(4):406-417

This research considers the role an educational psychologist could play within one early years setting over an academic year, using an Action Research and a Research and Development in Organisations framework. A model of practice was developed based on the needs of the setting that included being more frequently involved with casework and conducting work aimed at supporting early years practitioners and parents/carers. This research suggests there is a greater role for educational psychologists within early years, involving more than conducting casework, through providing a more holistic and intensive approach to supporting practitioners, parents/carers and children. This supports the existing literature as well as advocating a more extensive role within early intervention services.  相似文献   

Academic achievement in first-year university: who maintains their high school average?     

Maxine Gallander Wintre  Barry Dilouya  S. Mark Pancer  Michael W. Pratt  Shelly Birnie-Lefcovitch  Janet Polivy  Gerald Adams 《Higher Education》2011,62(4):467-481

The present study investigates the characteristics which differentiate between first-year university students who maintain their high school averages (Maintainers: n = 165) and those whose averages decrease at least one letter grade (Decliners: n = 435). The 600 students entered first year at one of six Canadian Universities, which varied in size and ethnic diversity. Data were collected in August, prior to the start of school, and in November of first year. Multivariate analyses indicated significant group differences between Maintainers and Decliners on familial variables (gender, fathers’ education level, but not family income, parental reciprocity, parental support or immigrant/generational status), psychological well-being (perceived stress in August and November, and November depression, self-esteem and health), and university adjustment (university plans, transition perception, time management and university adaptation). The current study addresses a gap in the existing academic achievement literature, while providing practical information to students, parents, and educators involved in the transition to university.  相似文献   

Does speed matter? A comparison of the effectiveness of fluency and discrete trial training for teaching noun labels to children with autism     

Erica Holding  Melissa A. Bray  Thomas J. Kehle 《Psychology in the schools》2011,48(2):166-183

This study used an alternating‐treatment design to compare the efficacy of discrete trial training (DTT) with fluency training (FT) for the acquisition, stimulus generalization, and retention of noun labels in children with autism. Four elementary‐age students diagnosed with autism were taught to expressively label nouns using a DTT format and a FT format. A between‐treatments comparison of the total number of nouns retained at 6 weeks post intervention was also conducted to compare retention. The results of this study showed that FT was superior to DTT in all of these areas. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献   

Serving and supporting young children with a dual diagnosis of hearing loss and autism: the stories of four families     

Myck-Wayne J  Robinson S  Henson E 《American annals of the deaf》2011,156(4):379-390

The research on young children with a dual diagnosis of hearing loss and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is meager and scattered. Pockets of research on this population of children suggest that it is difficult to make the diagnosis of ASD in children with hearing loss. A case study design was used to examine the diagnostic process for young children and their families. The study found that the diagnosis of hearing loss was made first and that obtaining an ASD diagnosis and the appropriate services was complicated. The findings provide insight into how to support and provide intervention to families with children who have a dual diagnosis.  相似文献
