The extent to which therapeutic intervention of hearing loss may yield better communication and social interaction was investigated in a pilot study during seven months after treatment in twelve hearing impaired subjects with Down syndrome with a mean age of 50.6 years. Although according to spontaneous observations of staff subtle positive reactions to treatment occurred in five subjects, no significant improvement could be measured by means of objective methods. The influence of personal factors like degree of retardation and language development, severity and duration of hearing impairment, age, period of habituation and training, and environmental factors, is to be studied further.  相似文献   

Modular Vocational Education and Training in Scotland and The Netherlands: Between specificity and coherence     

E. DE BRUIJN 《比较教育学》1995,31(1):83-100

Modularisation has frequently been advocated as a means to reform and modernise vocational education and training, to make it more flexible and responsive to economic, technological and social change, to take more account of individual differences and needs, and to improve its coherence and efficiency as a system. In this article developments in modularising vocational education and training in two countries-Scotland and The Netherlands-are compared. The analysis is restricted to modular initiatives within initial vocational education and training at a non-advanced level (that is at craft/technician level). Features and developments of the modular system in both countries seem to be closely related to strategies chosen to deal with the need to offer customised vocational (that is specific) training for various client groups, which at the same time does not limit opportunities for progression and transfer-the coherence of the system. In confronting the modular systems and strategies with these somewhat contradictory needs this comparative analysis draws on two perspectives: a sociological and a psychological, educationallearning theory. From these perspectives it might be argued that collaboration and/or certain characteristicsof modular vocational training offer a way out of the quandary of 'specificity' versus 'coherence'.  相似文献   

Feedback as dialogue: exploring the links between formative assessment and social software in distance learning     

Stylianos Hatzipanagos  Steven Warburton 《Learning, Media and Technology》2009,34(1):45-59

The paper explores the relationship between formative assessment and social software. Formative assessment practices though beneficial for student learning become marginalised and constrained in open and distance learning environments in higher education. Feedback is a key factor in formative assessment and learners can benefit from the deployment of emerging technologies and the opportunities for participation and dialogue afforded by social software. This paper explores and proposes a conceptual framework for this relationship. The claim is that the social dimensions of emerging technologies – specifically, blogs and wikis – allow for formative assessment practices to be re‐invented or at the very least facilitated by essentially participative and student‐focussed interventions. A comparison of these technologies against formative assessment mechanisms identifies the types of processes that these new tools might best support to encourage effective feedback approaches that both empower the learner and enhance their learning experience.  相似文献   

Second Life in higher education: Assessing the potential for and the barriers to deploying virtual worlds in learning and teaching   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Steven Warburton 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2009,40(3):414-426

Second Life (SL) is currently the most mature and popular multi-user virtual world platform being used in education. Through an in-depth examination of SL, this article explores its potential and the barriers that multi-user virtual environments present to educators wanting to use immersive 3-D spaces in their teaching. The context is set by tracing the history of virtual worlds back to early multi-user online computer gaming environments and describing the current trends in the development of 3-D immersive spaces. A typology for virtual worlds is developed and the key features that have made unstructured 3-D spaces so attractive to educators are described. The popularity in use of SL is examined through three critical components of the virtual environment experience: technical, immersive and social. From here, the paper discusses the affordances that SL offers for educational activities and the types of teaching approaches that are being explored by institutions. The work concludes with a critical analysis of the barriers to successful implementation of SL as an educational tool and maps a number of developments that are underway to address these issues across virtual worlds more broadly.  相似文献

内涵、领域和特征：体育价值观研究综述     

王子朴  马德浩  陈秉信 《南京体育学院学报(社会科学版)》2020,3(1)

体育价值观与体育本质、功能、目的之间关系密切,是以体育应然作为问题研究主线。目前我国体育价值观理论研究缺乏系统性梳理,故此本研究通过文献资料法,对体育价值观的内涵层次、领域体系、特征分析三大方面进行综述。研究认为：(1)国内体育价值观内涵探讨主要从主体和主客体两个层面进行展开；(2)国内体育价值观的领域体系研究在宏观层面表现为“工具与手段”的理性探讨,在微观层面表现为体育价值观的多元与复合及多维与统合；(3)体育价值观特征具有主观选择性和目的导向性、稳定性和冲突性、社会历史性、中西方体育价值观特征的个性和共性及逻辑系统性。(4)国内体育价值的多维观与国外体育传播视角下的体育价值功能论,具有相辅相成及文化背景的差异性关系。  相似文献
