Principals’ Attitudes Towards the Integration of Disabled Children into Regular Schools     

Yola Center  James Ward  Trevor Parmenter  Rieke Nash 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1985,32(3):149-161

Principals from N.S.W. government and non‐government schools were surveyed to elicit their attitudes towards the integration of individual disabled‐children and the support services currently provided. Attitudes forwards mildly intellectually handicapped students in particular were also examined. Analysis of principals’ ratings for each educational/behavioural disability specified indicates that they are positive only about integrating children who demand neither extra competencies nor extra curricular duties from the regular class teacher. Results also suggest that principals are dissatisfied with the quality and quantity of support services routinely provided and now seek resource personnel with the expertise to directly assist the regular teacher in the classroom. Sub‐group variations among principals on both issues are also reported. Data on mildly intellectually handicapped students indicate little attitudinal change since a study undertaken in 1978, although knowledge of the most effective support services for this population appears to have increased. Implications of these findings for policy and practice are discussed.  相似文献

Transition from School to Adult Life: Views of School Leavers with Disabilities     

Marie Knox  Trevor R. Parmenter 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1990,37(1):45-55

USING a structured interview format this exploratory study sought the views of 73 young people with a range of disabilities regarding means for ensuring an effective transition from school to adult life for people with disabilities. A wide range of views was elicited focussing on the roles that both the school and community can play. Included in their suggestions were the need for a planned transition process, a job‐related school curriculum and structured procedures to facilitate community integration. Most importantly, however, the study has highlighted the valuable contribution made by service consumers in providing useful and meaningful information. Implications of the results of the study for future program development and research efforts are discussed.  相似文献   

The complex development of student-teachers' thinking     

Katharine Burn  Hazel Hagger  Trevor Mutton  Tim Everton 《Teachers and Teaching》2013,19(4):309-331

Studies of student-teacher development have tended to suggest a three-stage model of development in which the novices' concerns shift outwards from an initial preoccupation with self, to a focus on tasks and teaching situations, and finally to consideration of pupil learning. This paper, based on sequence of post-lesson interviews conducted with 25 student teachers following 1-year postgraduate courses within school-based partnership schemes of initial teacher education, questions the adequacy of such a model. Analysis of the reasons that the student-teachers offered for their teaching decisions, and of their lesson evaluations suggests a high level of concern for pupils' learning and an awareness of the complexity of teaching from very early in their training. The implications of these findings are explored; in particular, the challenges that they pose to teacher educators in terms of course structure and curricula, and the need to be responsive to individual learners.  相似文献

Digital Cultural Heritage and the Crowd     

Trevor Owens 《Curator: The Museum Journal》2013,56(1):121-130

Libraries, archives, and museums have a long history of collaboration with members of the public. There is already considerable interest in extending this relationship, inviting members of the public, often referred to as “the crowd,” to tag and classify, transcribe, organize, and otherwise add value to digital cultural heritage collection content. In this essay, current discussions of crowdsourcing are connected with the mission and values of cultural heritage organizations and a framework is offered for thinking about distinct components of different kinds of projects that have been lumped together.  相似文献   

Political persuasion on social media: A moderated moderation model of political discussion disagreement and civil reasoning     

Homero Gil de Zúñiga  Matthew Barnidge  Trevor Diehl 《The Information Society》2013,29(5):302-315

Abstract

Social media and news use arguably contribute to the prevalence of contentious politics because individuals may express dissent through their social networks as they consume news. This study seeks to test whether individuals might be more open to political persuasion in this context, especially if they are exposed to political disagreement or discuss politics in a civil manner. Relying on survey data from the UK, results based on a moderated moderation model show that (a) social media news use predicts political persuasion on social media (direct effects) and, (b) discussion disagreement and civil reasoning moderate this relationship in two-way and three-way interactions.  相似文献   

A mathematical model of the oar blade – water interaction in rowing     

Nicholas Caplan  Trevor Gardner 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(9):1025-1034

Abstract

Our aim was to present a mathematical model of rowing and sculling that allowed for a comparison of oar blade designs. The relative movement between the oar blades and water during the drive phase of the stroke was modelled, and the lift and drag forces generated by this complex interaction were determined. The model was driven by the oar shaft angular velocity about the oarlock in the horizontal plane, and was shown to be valid against measured on-water mean steady-state shell velocity for both a heavyweight men's eight and a lightweight men's single scull. Measured lift and drag force coefficients previously presented by the authors were used as inputs to the model, whichs allowed for the influence of oar blade design on rowing performance to be determined. The commonly used Big Blade, which is curved, and it's flat equivalent were compared, and blade curvature was shown to generate a 1.14% improvement in mean boat velocity, or a 17.1-m lead over 1500 m. With races being won and lost by much smaller margins than this, blade curvature would appear to play a significant role in propulsion.  相似文献
