Abstract

The purposes of this study were to associate age-related performance deficits in children with the use of recall strategies and to determine whether children who performed poorly in cycling would benefit from learning a recall strategy. In Experiment 1, 18 younger children (ages 5-7 years) and 18 older children (ages 8-10 years) were asked to recall selected pedaling cadences. The majority of the older children used strategies and performed with less error than the younger children. In Experiment 2, children with a high number of errors in Experiment 1 were assigned to an experimental or a control group. The children in the experimental group were taught to use a specific recall strategy. The results showed that children who received the instruction in strategy use improved their performance.  相似文献   

Community Childcare Providers’ Role in the Early Detection of Autism Spectrum Disorders   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Diane Branson  Debra C. Vigil  Ann Bingham 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2008,35(6):523-530

The first few years of life represent a crucial period for optimal brain development for young children. Therefore, it is important to identify children at-risk for developmental delays, including autism spectrum disorders, at the earliest age possible. An argument for utilizing community childcare providers for universal developmental screening is presented along with suggestions for assessment tool selection and a model for developmental monitoring in community childcare settings.  相似文献   

Exploring the Secret Garden: the growing importance of ICT in the home     

Jerry Wellington 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2001,32(2):233-244

The use of ICT (information and communication technology) in homes is growing faster than its use in schools and colleges—and there are already more systems in homes than in educational settings. This article argues that we should attempt to enter the area which most research on ICT in education tends to ignore: the secret garden of the learner at home. It is based partly on two pilot case-studies of secondary schools and a small sample of their students. Given the paucity of research in this area the article poses more questions than it answers. What are the implications of ICT use at home for teachers in schools? Do home systems interfere with school education or can they be used to enhance it? How should teachers respond to, and assess, work done using home ICT? Is the home situation widening the gap between one set of pupils (the "haves" of ICT) and another? Suggestions for school policies and action research for the future are put forward.  相似文献

The Role of Formal Education,Technical and Management Training on Information Systems (IS) Managers' Managerial Effectiveness as Perceived by Their Subordinates     

Jerry Ligon  ABM Abdullah  Majharul Talukder 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》2007,20(1):23-35

This study examined the relationship between Information Systems (IS) managers' formal education, level of technical and managerial training and their managerial effectiveness as perceived by their subordinates. The study finds that there is a strong positive relationship between the amount of technical training IS managers have received and their managerial effectiveness as perceived by their subordinates. There is also a significant relationship between IS managers' level of managerial training and their subordinates' perception of their managerial effectiveness. The managers' level of formal education was not found to have a significant relationship to the subordinates' perceived level of (their) managerial effectiveness. Finally, a regression model has been proposed to measure Information System managers'managerial effectiveness.  相似文献   

Comparing the Roles,Responsibilities, and Activities of Transactional and Transformational HRD Professionals     

Jerry W. Gilley  Ann Maycunich  Scott A. Quatro 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》2002,15(4):23-44

HRD professionals engage in one of two potential roles—transactional or transformational. Transactional focuses attention on an activity strategy whose cornerstone is training. Transformational focuses on a results‐driven strategy that is performance‐centered‐a role that helps organizations achieve their strategic business goals and objectives. These strategies differ in their outcomes and contributions to organizations in that the former leads to training for training's sake while the latter seeks to maximize organizational performance and effectiveness. Thus, HRD professionals are challenged to choose either an activity strategy that embraces a business as usual approach or a results‐driven strategy that requires adopting a new and exciting role.  相似文献

School psychology trainers' identification of current stressors in the work lives of urban practitioners. A comparison study     

Eileen Kaplan  Jerry Wishner 《Psychology in the schools》1999,36(1):61-68

The focus of this study is to investigate school psychology trainers' identification of current stressors in the work lives of practitioners. Surveys rating 40 stressors on a Likert‐type scale were completed by 161 school psychology graduate faculty, members of the School Psychology Educators Council of New York State. Survey results were compared to the job‐related stressors identified by New York City Psychologists using an almost identical questionnaire. While there appears to be general agreement between faculty trainers and practitioners on the identification and relative ranking of work‐related stress, the faculty trainers consider those events to be more stressful than do the practitioners. Faculty's recognition of the environmental forces that negatively impact upon the experience of school psychologists should provide impetus for the development of graduate programs that address stress prevention and/or coping strategies. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献
