Predictors of Hispanic School Teachers' Self-efficacy in the Pedagogical Uses of Technology     

Jaime Curts  Jesus Tanguma  Carmen M. Peña 《学校用计算机》2013,30(1-2):48-63

A study to predict teachers' self-efficacy in using technology for pedagogical purposes was conducted in a predominantly Hispanic school district in south Texas; 438 elementary teachers completed a 32-item survey aligned to the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers. Findings suggested that the instrument is highly reliable in measuring Hispanic school teachers' self-efficacy when they are asked to rate their confidence in their ability to perform technology tasks for educational purposes. An exploratory factor analysis (orthogonal and nonorthogonal) allowed the derivation of composite measures. Three subscales regarding issues of pedagogy composed the dependent variable. Regression analyses (OLS and 2SLS) revealed that two derived composite measures and two contrast variables listed in the general information of the survey strongly predicted the response variable.  相似文献   

Border Pedagogy: A Study of Preservice Teacher Transformation     

Jaime J. Romo  Claudia Chavez 《The Educational forum》2013,77(2):142-153

In our increasingly interconnected global society, learning to think about ourselves in a border context, making crossings and connections, reflecting on our position and power, and articulating a vision of social justice are necessary civic skills. Developing educational border crossers who have moved beyond stereotyping and the tourist's gaze to have a sensibility for social justice can enrich public life and stimulate the deepest forms of civic engagement. This study examines a teacher education program's nascent efforts to develop multicultural competencies, specifically border pedagogy, in future teachers.  相似文献   

Dislexia fonémica: decodificación-codificación fonémica y comprensión lectora silenciosa     

V. Luis Bravo  B. Jaime Bermeosolo  G. Arturo Pinto 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(44):21-34

Resumen

Se estudiaron los procesos fonémicos de decodificación y codificación en relaáón a la comprensión lectora en una muestra de 49 disléxicos de 10 a 12 años, comparándolos con un grupo de 32 lectores normales, pareados por edad, curso y nivel socio-económico. Todos los niños tenían un CI normal y se les aplicó cuatro tests verbales estandarizados, más tareas experimentales de percepción, discriminación e integración auditivo-fonémica y de comprensión.

Se pudo delimitar, dentro de los disléxicos, un subgrupo de ellos con un rendimiento inferior en decodificación de pseudo-palabras, perceptión auditivo-fonémica, comprensión verbal oral y comprensión lectora silenciosa, lo que confirmó la hipótesis principal del estudio. Las diferencias entre disléxicos y lectores normales también fueron significativas. Los procesos fonémicos más estrechamente relaáonados con lectura y deletreo de pseudopalabras fueron discriminación auditiva de palabras similares e inversión oral de secuencias de letras CVC (trigramas). Esta investigación forma parte de un estudio de seguimiento.  相似文献   

Expresión facial y reconocimiento de emociones en lactantes     

Jaime Iglesias  Angela Loeches  Juan Serrano 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(48):93-113

Resumen

En esta revisión presentamos los resultados e implicaciones de los trabajos realizados por nuestro equipo de investigación sobre expresión y reconocimiento de emociones en la infancia. Dichos trabajos se enfocan desde una perspectiva psicobiológica, asumiéndose que un conjunto de emociones consideradas básicas son estados discretos del organismo, determinados genéticamente y regulados por estructuras nerviosas subcorticales, que tienen un valor adaptative para los individuos bajo determinadas circunstancias estimulares. Situándonos dentro de la tradición de estudios que apoyan la hipótesis de la universalidad de la expresión facial, aportamos una serie de datos que nos conducen a concluir que los lactantes son capaces de expresar y de discriminar desde los tres meses de edad las emociones de alegría, ira, miedo, sorpresa, desagrado y tristeza. Estos datos han sido obtenidos utilizando un paradigma de habituación visual y un método objetivo de análisis denominado Facial Action Coding System. A pesar de contar con estas pruebas empíricas, terminamos matizando que aún desconocemos los factores evolutivos que originan las expresiones emocionales.  相似文献   

Evaluating psychometric properties of common autism educational identification measures through a culturally and linguistically responsive lens     

Jaime Schmidt  Bryn Harris  Maryellen Brunson McClain  Kandice J. Benallie 《Psychology in the schools》2023,60(2):312-328

Little information regarding the psychometric properties of the most commonly used autism identification measures used in school settings with traditionally racially and ethnically minoritized (REM) groups is available. This analysis of autism identification measures is particularly important due to the demographic increase in the United States among most REM populations in recent decades. In addition, most REM groups are inequitably identified for autism and these measures may contribute to disproportionate identification based on problematic psychometric factors. This study systematically compiles the recommended psychometric properties pertaining to validity and reliability of the common autism identification measures among REM groups that are traditionally underrepresented (i.e., Black and Latinx populations) for autism identification. Conclusions suggest that several of the most common autism identification measures lack sufficient psychometric analyses to evaluate appropriate utilization with REM populations, specifically those who are Black and Latinx. The findings from this study may inform school psychologists' utilization and knowledge of limitations of these measures, as well as assisting with the determination of the appropriateness of these measures for use with REM populations.  相似文献   

Interpersonal coordination tendencies shape 1-vs-1 sub-phase performance outcomes in youth soccer

Abstract

This study investigated the influence of interpersonal coordination tendencies on performance outcomes of 1-vs-1 sub-phases in youth soccer. Eight male developing soccer players (age: 11.8 ± 0.4 years; training experience: 3.6 ± 1.1 years) performed an in situ simulation of a 1-vs-1 sub-phase of soccer. Data from 82 trials were obtained with motion-analysis techniques, and relative phase used to measure the space-time coordination tendencies of attacker-defender dyads. Approximate entropy (ApEn) was then used to quantify the unpredictability of interpersonal interactions over trials. Results revealed how different modes of interpersonal coordination emerging from attacker-defender dyads influenced the 1-vs-1 performance outcomes. High levels of space-time synchronisation (47%) and unpredictability in interpersonal coordination processes (ApEn: 0.91 ± 0.34) were identified as key features of an attacking player's success. A lead-lag relation attributed to a defending player (34% around ?30° values) and a more predictable coordination mode (ApEn: 0.65 ± 0.27, P < 0.001), demonstrated the coordination tendencies underlying the success of defending players in 1-vs-1 sub-phases. These findings revealed how the mutual influence of each player on the behaviour of dyadic systems shaped emergent performance outcomes. More specifically, the findings showed that attacking players should be constrained to exploit the space-time synchrony with defenders in an unpredictable and creative way, while defenders should be encouraged to adopt postures and behaviours that actively constrain the attacker's actions.  相似文献

Supporting Faculty Grassroots Leadership     

Adrianna Kezar  Jaime Lester 《Research in higher education》2009,50(7):715-740

Various factors are making faculty leadership challenging including the rise in part-time and non-tenure-track faculty, the increasing pressure to publish and teach more courses and adopt new technologies and pedagogies, increasing standards for tenure and promotion, ascension of academic capitalism, and heavy service roles for women and people of color. This article focuses on describing actions taken by institutional agents and aspects of campus environments which are supportive of grassroots faculty leadership. While there are many conditions which inhibit faculty leadership (i.e., part-time and contingent faculty trends, rising publication standards, etc.), our study demonstrated certain campus conditions or characteristics can overcome the forces of change including counting leadership as service, creating campus networks, addressing dysfunctional department dynamics, fostering role models, supporting faculty who question or challenge decisions, ensuring flexibility and autonomy, and altering contingent faculty contracts to include service and leadership.

Digital inclusion in Chile: Internet in rural schools     

Alvaro Salinas  Jaime Snchez 《International Journal of Educational Development》2009,29(6):573-582

This paper analyzes the teacher's contribution to improving digital inclusion in Chilean rural schools, using a multidimensional definition of the digital divide. Data was obtained from interviews and surveys applied to teachers and students from 145 rural schools. Results show that teachers function as gatekeepers. They do not teach students how to use ICT explicitly, but when teachers have high expectations, skills and technology access, this leads to conditions for students learning how to use ICT. Finally, the data contributes to a better understanding of the new role that teachers and schools play in rural areas in terms of social and symbolic integration.  相似文献
