Developing and designing online engineering ethics instruction for international graduate students     

Katherine A. Austin  Greta J. Gorsuch  William D. Lawson  Byron P. Newberry 《Instructional Science》2011,39(6):975-997

The present project embarked on an educational intervention, consisting of a series of online ethics learning modules, to aid international graduate students in overcoming the acculturation barriers to understanding and inculcating normative ethical obligations associated with engineering practice and research in the United States. A fundamental initial step in the process of helping international, as well as domestic, engineering graduate students embrace ethical obligations is to provide clear instruction on fundamental engineering ethical principles and values relevant in the United States. Most institutes of higher education do not have a cohesive approach to basic graduate engineering ethics instruction, much less materials that have been calibrated for international students (National Science Foundation, , 2009). Herein the authors describe our instructional intervention, as well as to document the development, design, and assessment of the learning modules intended to provide students with a framework for learning ethical precepts and applying them in the engineering field. Think-Aloud Protocol and Cognitive Task Analysis results were used to improve the content modules and learning experience. Initial pilot findings indicate that the content modules increased student knowledge acquisition compared to pre-test performance, indicating a step-forward in the formulation of a useful learning tool for graduate engineering ethics instruction.  相似文献   

Developing Online Tutorials to Improve Information Literacy Skills for Second-Year Nursing Students of University College Dublin     

Kirsteen Walters  Cecilia Bolich  Daniel Duffy  Kathryn Walsh  Sarah Connolly 《New Review of Academic Librarianship》2015,21(1):7-29

This article explores the process of developing online tutorials for a specified student group, in this case Second-Year Nursing students in University College Dublin. The product was commissioned by the Health Sciences Library and the UCD School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Systems. It was developed as a “Capstone Project” for part fulfillment of the MLIS in UCD.

We focused our research on three areas of scholarship to assist in the development of our product, namely Information Behavior, Learning Technologies, and Learning Science and Design. Flemings VARK model was used to inform the team of the four different learning styles (visual, auditory, reading, and kinesthetic) and to match the presentation style to these.

An initial difficulty in the assessment phase was one of access to a large group of students, as the students were on clinical placements. We created personas and a profile of nursing students to try and compensate for this. The tutorial was developed to cater for this specific group of students and later to act as a valuable support to the Library, which is under severe pressure in terms of staff availability to support student learning.

The product is relatively straightforward to produce (and maintain) and is something the Library will be able to develop and add to in future years.  相似文献   

A Quantitative Synthesis of Methodology in the Meta-Analysis of Single-Subject Research for Students with Disabilities: 1985–2009     

Daniel M. Maggin  Breda V. O'Keeffe  Austin H. Johnson 《Exceptionality》2013,21(2):109-135

The purpose of this review was to examine the methods used to conduct meta-analyses of single-subject research involving students with and at-risk for disabilities. Specifically, the procedures used for preparing, aggregating, analyzing, and evaluating single-subject data across 68 primary syntheses were examined. In addition to these methodological and reporting issues, the present review also considered various characteristics of syntheses to determine their overall prevalence and focus. Results of the review indicated that the publication rate of single-subject meta-analyses has increased considerably in recent years, focusing equally on students with high- and low-incidence disabilities. This review revealed considerable variability in the methods and procedures used to synthesize single-subject research. Based on these findings, suggestions for future single-subject meta-analyses were made.  相似文献

2009年度人物亚军:中国工人     

Austin Ramzy  寒星 《英语辅导》2010,(3)

去年12月,美国《时代》周刊(TIME)2009年度人物榜出炉。美联储主席本·伯南克(BenBernanke)当选该杂志年度人物,而中国工人作为榜单上的唯一群体,荣升亚军宝座。世界的目光犹如聚光灯般投射到中国工人身上,而肖红霞、黄冬艳、彭春霞、邱小院等人的名字和笑容在一夜之间传遍了世界。这群来自深圳的普通工人成为千千万万勤劳坚韧的中国工人的代表。也许就个体来说,他们再平凡不过,然而所有平凡人的努力积聚起来,就能创造出让世人为之惊叹的伟大与奇迹。不要怨叹自己过于平庸、没有大作为,实际上,伟大很可能就如同做好本分工作那么简单。  相似文献   

Methodological problems in estimating dropout rates and the implications for studying dropouts from special education     

Donald L. MacMillan  Irving H. Balow  Keith F. Widaman  Sharon Borthwick‐Duffy  Irving G. Hendrick 《Exceptionality》2013,21(1):29-39

Abstract

Variability in reported estimates of dropout rates are, in part, due to factors that operate independently of true differences that have been demonstrated for student characteristics as well as home and school features. We examine differences in definitions of dropouts, computational methods, and the complexities in defining cohorts. Finally, we explore the importance of sample attrition. We argue that reliable and valid dropout rate estimates are essential before it is possible to establish reasons/causes for dropping out or to design prevention programs.  相似文献
