Applying Tablet‐Based Performance Support Application for Technicians’ Training at the Israeli Air Force: A Case Study     

Eran Gal PhD  Hagit Meishar‐tal PhD  Ronit Ben Non  Adar Ben‐Basat  Lisa Paikin 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》2017,30(2):121-136

Performance support systems are mechanisms enabling users) productivity while reducing training expenses as support is being delivered in real time, often eliminating the need for costly pre‐performance training. Mobile technologies have created new opportunities for improved performance support systems, especially for tasks performed outside the offi ce. This article describes the fi rst mobile learning and performance support initiative taken by the Israeli Air Force. The project included the development and eff ectiveness pilot study of a learning and performance support application delivered via tablet to helicopter engine technicians. The application provided support videos and illustrations of maintenance routines, thereby enabling learning and practicing at the same time. Pilot study results show high performance levels of application users compared to those applying traditional methods. Results also show that self‐effi cacy levels were not aff ected by the successful performance achieved when using the mobile performance support application. Plans to expand mobile support use are also described.  相似文献

Relational efficacy beliefs in athlete dyads: an investigation using actor-partner interdependence models     

Jackson B  Beauchamp MR  Knapp P 《运动与训练心理学杂志》2007,29(2):170-189

The first purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationships among three forms of relational efficacy within performing dyads, namely, self-efficacy, other-efficacy, and relation-inferred self-efficacy. The second objective was to examine the relationships between these efficacy beliefs and athletes' perceptions of their commitment to and satisfaction with their current partnership. Participants were 120 junior tennis players (age, M = 14.30 years, SD = 1.21) performing within 60 intact pairs (i.e., doubles). Results revealed that self-efficacy and other-efficacy were predictive of athlete commitment and satisfaction, respectively. In addition, by utilizing actor-partner interdependence models, partner as well as actor effects were evident. The findings illustrate that relational efficacy beliefs may not only have implications for the individual holding such beliefs, but also for his or her relational partner. Implications for the future study of efficacy beliefs within dyadic contexts are discussed.  相似文献   

The role of special schools for children with profound and multiple learning difficulties: is segregation always best?     

Ben Simmons  Phil Bayliss 《British Journal of Special Education》2007,34(1):19-24

The education of young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties continues to raise challenges and controversies. In this article, Ben Simmons, an ESRC funded PhD student and research assistant, and Phil Bayliss, programme director for the masters degree in special education and disability, both based in the School of Education and Lifelong Learning at the University of Exeter, describe their research into provision for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties in a special school in the south west of England. Their work, based in an interpretivist, qualitative approach, set out to illuminate issues relating to the inclusion of pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties. The findings presented here suggest that the school, in spite of its strong reputation, struggled significantly to provide appropriate learning experiences for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties. Ben Simmons and Phil Bayliss discuss the need for improved staff development opportunities focused on enhancing current levels of knowledge and skills. They conclude by calling for a reappraisal of the established view that special schools necessarily provide the best learning environment for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties.  相似文献   

Governing software: networks,databases and algorithmic power in the digital governance of public education     

Ben Williamson 《Learning, Media and Technology》2015,40(1):83-105

This article examines the emergence of ‘digital governance’ in public education in England. Drawing on and combining concepts from software studies, policy and political studies, it identifies some specific approaches to digital governance facilitated by network-based communications and database-driven information processing software that are being discursively promoted in education by cross-sectoral intermediary organizations. Such intermediaries, including National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, Demos, the Innovation Unit, the Education Foundation and the Nominet Trust, are increasingly seeking to participate in new digitally mediated forms of educational governance. Through their promotion of network-based pedagogies and database-driven analytics software, these organizations are seeking to delegate educational decision-making to socio-algorithmic forms of power that have the capacity to predict, govern and activate learners' capacities and subjectivities.  相似文献   

狩猎、体育与相关社会问题研究——基于历史人类学视角的考察     

赵犇  王厚雷 《西安体育学院学报》2015,(3):299-304

通过历史资料分析、对比研究、逻辑分析等方法对狩猎、体育以及相关社会问题进行研究,研究认为:狩猎与体育的发展是相辅相成的;狩猎的过程和体育竞赛的过程是高度吻合的,体育竞赛可以视为一种抽象的狩猎活动,而升级、变异的狩猎和体育可能导致战争的发生;在当今社会,商务人士、沉迷于网络游戏的群体以及罪犯,都从事着象征性的狩猎活动,并引发了一系列社会问题。现代社会密集型的体育赛事有缓解人类狩猎欲望和社会冲突的功能,但却又为恐怖袭击和暴乱活动的制造者们提供了良好的"狩猎场所",文明社会如何解决人类的狩猎本能问题还需要进一步的探索。  相似文献

Embedded creative workers and creative work in education     

Ben Goldsmith  Ruth Bridgstock 《Journal of Education & Work》2015,28(4):369-387

This article is concerned with the many connections between creative work and workers, and education work and industries. Employment in the education sector has long been recognised as a significant element in creative workers’ portfolio careers. Much has been written, for example, about the positive contribution of ‘artists in schools’ initiatives. Australian census analyses reveal that education is the most common industry sector into which creative workers are ‘embedded’, outside of the core creative industries. However, beyond case studies and some survey research into arts instruction and instructors, we know remarkably little about in which education roles and sectors creative workers are embedded, and the types of value that they add in those roles and sectors. This article reviews the extant literature on creative work and workers in education, and presents the findings of a survey of 916 graduates from creative undergraduate degrees in Australia. The findings suggest that education work is very common among creative graduates indeed, while there are a range of motivating factors for education work among creative graduates, on average they are satisfied with their careers, and that creative graduates add significant creative-cultural and creative-generic value add through their work.  相似文献
