Creative graduate pathways within and beyond the creative industries     

Ruth Bridgstock  Ben Goldsmith  Jess Rodgers  Greg Hearn 《Journal of Education & Work》2015,28(4):333-345

This special issue explores the nuances of graduate creative work, the kinds of value that creative graduates add through work of various types, graduate employability issues for creative graduates, emerging and developing creative career identities and the implications for educators who are tasked with developing a capable creative workforce. Extant literature tends to characterise creative careers as either ‘precarious’ and insecure, or as the engine room of the creative economy. However, in actuality, the creative workforce is far more heterogeneous than either of these positions suggest, and creative careers are far more complex and diverse than previously thought. The task of creative educators is also much more challenging than previously supposed. In this introductory article, we commence by providing a brief overview of the creative labour debates, and the evidence for each position. We present the latest literature in this area that starts to speak to how diverse and complex the landscape of creative work actually is. We then introduce each of the articles in this special issue and indicate how they contribute to a more multi-faceted picture of creative activity, and the lives and career trajectories of graduates from creative degrees.  相似文献

Self-reported ability assessment in rock climbing   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Draper N  Dickson T  Blackwell G  Fryer S  Priestley S  Winter D  Ellis G 《Journal of sports sciences》2011,29(8):851-858

Level of ability within rock climbing is generally expressed in terms of a "best ascent", rated using various grading systems within the sport. The most common method of obtaining this information is via self-report. The aim of this study was to examine the validity of self-reported climbing grades. Twenty-nine competitive rock climbers (17 males, 12 females) were first asked to report their current (defined as within the last 12 months) best on-sight lead ascent grade (Aus/NZ). The participants then climbed a specifically designed indoor route, under on-sight conditions (one attempt, no route practice or preview), to obtain an assessed grade. The route increased in difficulty, and was such that the distance achieved by the climber corresponded to a particular grade. The mean (±standard deviation) self-reported and assessed grade was 22.6?±?3.4 and 22.0?±?3.0 (Aus/NZ) respectively. Despite slight over- and underestimations in males and females respectively, there was no statistically significant difference between self-reported and assessed on-sight climbing grades. The results of this study suggest that self-reported climbing grades provide a valid and accurate reflection of climbing ability.  相似文献

Tensions in Community Health Improvement Initiatives: Communication and Collaboration in a Managed Care Environment     

Caryn Medved  Kelly Morrison  James Dearing  Sam Larson  Greg Cline  Boris Brummans 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2001,29(2):137-152

Between the years 1993 and 2000, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation sponsored the Comprehensive Community Health Models (CCHMs) Initiative in three Michigan counties. CCHMs was comprised of three closely related community initiatives carried out in the midst of a failed national health care reform effort and the continued penetration of managed care arrangements into many health care systems. This experimental initiative set out to test the hypothesis that traditional healthcare system animosities and exclusionary practices could be overcome by stakeholder participation in an ongoing, structured, collaborative dialogue about improving access to health services. In the process of collecting data through surveys, interviews, content analysis, and observation, we were struck by the occurrence of several overarching tensions that we perceive to exist in our data. The present article elucidates five such tensions and suggests how third parties such as communication researchers, evaluators, and practitioners can facilitate community health improvement initiatives and better their own data interpretation by acknowledging and understanding these tensions.  相似文献

The Triple Jump Exercise in Inquiry‐based Learning: a case study showing directions for further research     

Grahame Feletti  Greg Ryan 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》1994,19(3):225-234

The Triple Jump is a versatile but under‐studied instrument, used both for developing and assessing problem‐based learning (PBL). This paper evaluates its assessment of inquiry‐based learning (IBL) in a graduate course, along with a Group Assessment Task. Students' performance on the Triple Jump was not related to satisfaction with their small‐group discussion prior to completing a self‐directed learning task. Analysis of the self‐directed learning task in terms of academic or pragmatic focus showed consistent differences between two markers — suggesting the need for more research into inter‐rater reliability and other characteristics of the Triple Jump exercise. Some simple strategies are recommended to make this instrument cost‐effective for assessing large classes.  相似文献   

The Priority of Separable Perception in Stimulus Classifications of Children with Mental Retardation     

Greg Cook  J. Todd Stephens 《Child development》1995,66(4):1057-1071

Children (mean CA = 12 years) with mental retardation and adults without mental retardation classified tetrads of stimuli that could be grouped according to identities on separate dimensions or according to overall similarity. When color, size, and line orientation were varied (Experiment 1), both groups used separate dimensions for classification. When hue, saturation, and brightness varied (Experiment 2), both groups used overall similarity for classification. Test-retest correlations showed that the predominant classifications were reliable across 1-week testing intervals. Results support Garner's distinction between separable and integral stimulus structure but do not support an integral-to-separable shift in perceptual development. Comparisons of the tetrad task used in the present study and triads used in previous work are discussed as well as implications of the present data for developmental theories of perceptual classification and processing in children with mental retardation.  相似文献
