Evaluation of the Parent-implemented Communication Strategies (PiCS) project using the Multiattribute Utility (MAU) approach     

Julia B. Stoner  Hedda Meadan  Maureen E. Angell  Marcus Daczewitz 《Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability》2012,24(1):57-73

We conducted a multiattribute utility (MAU) evaluation to assess the Parent-Implemented Communication Strategies (PiCS) project which was funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). In the PiCS project parents of young children with developmental disabilities are trained and coached in their homes on naturalistic and visual teaching strategies to enhance their children’s social-pragmatic communication skills. This report focuses on the evaluation process, the application of the MAU approach to evaluate the PiCS project, the results of the evaluation, and a discussion of the benefits and concerns related to the use of the MAU approach to conduct a comprehensive evaluation.  相似文献

Mentoring and the Professional Development of Teachers     

Shirley Lee  June Wilkes 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2013,21(2):33-38

An ongoing research project has been focusing on the changing roles of colleagues based both in school and in college who are involved in the supervision of students in school and on their professional development needs.

This article focuses on three elements of the research findings which we have obtained from the collation and analysis of the evaluations of the programmes so far. box Aspects of the training which have been most useful

box Issues arising from the meetings of the mentor support groups

box Implications for the continuing professional development and career development of the mentors

The findings have been further informed by a series of semi‐structured interviews.  相似文献   

Forearm oxygenation and blood flow kinetics during a sustained contraction in multiple ability groups of rock climbers

Currently, the physiological mechanisms that allow elite level climbers to maintain intense isometric contractions for prolonged periods of time are unknown. Furthermore, it is unclear whether blood flow or muscle oxidative capacity best governs performance. This study aimed to determine the haemodynamic kinetics of 2 forearm flexor muscles in 3 ability groups of rock climbers. Thirty-eight male participants performed a sustained contraction at 40% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) until volitional fatigue. Oxygen saturation and blood flow was assessed using near infrared spectroscopy and Doppler ultrasound. Compared to control, intermediate, and advanced groups, the elite climbers had a significantly (P < 0.05) higher strength-to-weight ratio (MVC/N), de-oxygenated the flexor digitorum profundus significantly (P < 0.05) more (32, 34.3, and 42.8 vs. 63% O₂, respectively), and at a greater rate (0.32, 0.27, and 0.34 vs. 0.77 O₂%·s^?1, respectively). Furthermore, elite climbers de-oxygenated the flexor carpi radialis significantly (P < 0.05) more and at a greater rate than the intermediate group (36.5 vs. 14.6% O₂ and 0.43 vs. 0.1O₂%·s^?1, respectively). However, there were no significant differences in total forearm ? blood flow. An increased MVC/N is not associated with greater blood flow occlusion in elite climbers; therefore, oxidative capacity may be more important for governing performance.  相似文献

Supporting the transition from primary school to secondary school for children who are Looked After     

Marnie Brewin  June Statham 《Educational Psychology in Practice》2011,27(4):365-381

Anecdotal evidence and statistics indicate that transition to secondary school for children who are “Looked After” is likely to present challenges. The present study aimed to find out the key factors that support Looked After children through this transition, as perceived by the main stakeholders. Data were gathered in two stages, using semi-structured interviews, from Year 6 and Year 7 children and their teachers and carers. Analysis of the results indicates that many different factors may support or hinder the transition, ranging from within-child factors such as resilience and social skills to systemic factors such as the extent of multi-agency working and school admission policies. Four key principles emerged from the results, which may be used to inform tailored transition packages to support children in this vulnerable group through transition. They emphasise the importance of planning and information sharing between key stakeholders, minimising difference, and offering holistic and individualised support.  相似文献   

Political homophily on social network sites and users' poll skepticism     

Young Min Baek  Irkwon Jeong  June Woong Rhee 《亚洲交流杂志》2015,25(3):271-287

Although many studies have investigated citizens' attitudes toward polls and the political consequences, there have been no studies examining the effects of social network site (SNS) users' opinion environments on their poll skepticism. Based on prior studies on poll skepticism, we examine the relationship between perceived SNS opinion environments, poll skepticism, perceived concerns over the negative influence of the polls, and voting intention in an upcoming election. Using the survey data of the 2012 South Korean General Election, this study found that if the published polls are against respondents' political position, their homophilous SNS opinion environments promote poll skepticism, and augmented poll skepticism leads to concerns over the negative influence of the polls on other voters, which in turn increases voting intention.  相似文献
