How gender is constructed and experienced in the social world of the nursery school     

Charlotte Jones 《International Journal of Early Years Education》2019,27(2):153-169

This case study attempts to capture the way gender is constructed and experienced in the social world of the nursery school. It presents findings from a staff survey, structured and unstructured observations of one male’s and one female’s professional practice and one-to-one interviews with children aged three to four years. Despite practitioners’ reported intentions to challenge traditional notions of gender, construction of traditional gender distinctions was not problematised by staff and was upheld by comments of children. Children appeared to construct themselves in terms of gender stereotypes and were offered only limited alternative gender positions by the male and female practitioners.  相似文献   

Bridging Research and Practice: How Sales Training Can Contribute to New Product Launch Success     

Frank Q. Fu  Eli Jones 《Performance Improvement》2015,54(2):29-36

This study demonstrates how academicians and practitioners can work together on an important topic that matters to organizational performance: the pivotal role played by salespeople during new product launches. In particular, the authors present three potential interventions that training and sales managers may use to sell a new product to salespeople. The results legitimatize the critical contribution of sales training to new product sales performance and highlight the value of the partnership between training professionals and sales managers.  相似文献   

Reflections on “teaching discrete skills to students with moderate mental retardation in small‐group instructional arrangements”     

Mark Wolery  Patricia Munson Doyle  Melinda Jones Ault  David L. Gast 《Exceptionality》2013,21(4):265-270

Several response‐prompting strategies exist for teaching students with disabilities (Wolery, Ault, & Doyle, 1992). With these strategies, prompts are provided to ensure that students perform the target behaviors in the presence of the target stimuli. However, to transfer stimulus control from the prompts to the target stimuli (i.e., to establish independent and appropriate responding), the prompts must be faded. Often, the various strategies differ on the manner in which prompts are faded.  相似文献   

Response to Intervention in Middle Schools: Practices and Outcomes     

Sara Prewett  Daryl F. Mellard  Donald D. Deshler  Justin Allen  Ryan Alexander  Amelia Stern 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2012,27(3):136-147

Response to intervention (RTI) is advocated in elementary school as a system‐wide, multitiered model of academic and behavioral interventions. Middle schools have begun adopting RTI models based on these existing elementary models. This investigation into current middle school RTI practices describes technical aspects as well as some of cultural and contextual issues surrounding implementation. The study included multiple data collection procedures including surveys, discussion groups, phone interviews, and site visits. Although many schools reported substantial progress with implementation, they recognized rigorous implementation of RTI posed such on‐going challenges as changes in staffing, curricular realignments, very limited selections of screening and progress monitoring tools aligned with their curriculum, and scheduling of secondary and tertiary level interventions.  相似文献

Using Workflow for Projects in Higher Education     

Jan van der Veen  Val Jones  Betty Collis 《Computer Science Education》2013,23(3):283-301

The WWW is increasingly used as a medium to support education and training. A course at the University of Twente in which groups of students collaborate in the design and production of multimedia instructional materials has now been supported by a website since 1995. Workflow was integrated with other components in the website to investigate whether workflow can help instructors and students to have a better overview of group progress. Our evaluation shows that the introduction of workflow does provide added value. Another outcome of the experiment is that the transfer of a business application (workflow) into the educational domain has highlighted some differences and similarities between educational and business processes. This article explores some of these issues as highlighted by the application of workflow in education.  相似文献
