Pirates and poachers: Fan fiction and the conventions of reading and writing     

Margaret Mackey  Jill Kedersha McClay 《English in Education》2008,42(2):131-147

This article explores what teachers and students can learn about contemporary story‐telling from a study of fan fiction – that is, stories created by readers and viewers out of the canonical material of previously published fictions. Drawing on the example of Pirates of the Caribbean, it investigates ways in which fan fiction writers develop codes and conventions to govern themselves. For example, online litmus tests establish when a writer is self‐indulgently writing ‘Mary Sue’ characters into a story; the self‐styled Protectors of the Plot Continuum patrol the fictional limits of an imagined world to make sure that canonical information is not violated by fan fiction writers. This article makes use of such examples to investigate how quality control in fan fiction is codified, and to explore what teachers can learn from such enterprises about contemporary writing, reading and viewing. It compares these possibilities with issues of online literacy outlined by Henry Jenkins under three headings: the participation gap, the transparency problem, and the ethics challenge.  相似文献   

学龄前双语聋童课堂教学评析   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

郑荔  斯坦因·埃里克·欧伦  英格丽德·戴利 《中国特殊教育》2008,(12)

近年来,欧美一些国家积极倡导聋童双语教育,我国也于十年前开始聋童双语教育实验.最近由中国和挪威研究人员组成研究小组,对某省5所聋校进行了学龄前双语班课堂教学评估,重在分析课堂中教师与儿童的互动水平.研究将课堂教学行为分为不同类型,进行定时观察记录,并结合访谈和现场观察等方法共同分析.研究认为,教师在课堂中具有高控制性,儿童与教师、儿童与儿童之问语言交流空间少,聋人教师未能充分发挥作用,不同学校之间存在明显差异.  相似文献

Within and Across Language Predictors of Word Learning Processes in Dual Language Learners     

Amy Pace  Rufan Luo  Dani Levine  Aquiles Iglesias  Jill de Villiers  Roberta M. Golinkoff  Mary S. Wilson  Kathy Hirsh-Pasek 《Child development》2021,92(1):35-53

This study investigated the relation between Dual Language Learners’ (N = 90) vocabulary and grammar comprehension and word learning processes in preschool (aged 3-through-5 years). Of interest was whether: (a) performance in Spanish correlated with performance in English within each domain; and (b) comprehension predicted novel word learning within and across languages. Dual-language experience was evaluated as a potential moderator. Hierarchical linear modeling revealed stronger predictive associations within each language than across languages. Across languages, results varied by experience and domain. Structural sensitivity theory suggests exposure to two languages heightens awareness of parameters along which languages vary and provides a framework for interpreting complex associations within and across languages. Knowledge from one language may influence learning in both.  相似文献   

Pupillary and Attentional Responses to Infant Facial Expressions in Mothers Across Socioeconomic Variations     

Santeri Yrttiaho  Belinda Bruwer  Heather J. Zar  Kirsten A Donald  Susan Malcolm-Smith  Lee Ginton  Nadia Hoffman  Eileen Vuong  Dana Niehaus  Jukka M. Leppänen  Dan J. Stein 《Child development》2021,92(3):e236-e251

Maternal responses to infant facial expressions were examined in two socioeconomically diverse samples of South African mothers (Study I, N = 111; and Study II, N = 214; age: 17–44 years) using pupil and gaze tracking. Study I showed increased pupil response to infant distress expressions in groups recruited from private as compared to public maternity clinics, possibly reflecting underlying differences in socioeconomic status (SES) across the groups. Study II, sampling uniformly low-SES neighborhoods, found increased pupil dilation and faster orientation to expressions of infant distress, but only in the highest income group. These results are consistent with maternal physiological and attentional sensitivity to infant distress cues but challenge the universality of this sensitivity across socioeconomic diversity.  相似文献   

Allergies and Learning Disabilities: A Status Report     

Sharon E. Stein  Stephen P. Safran 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1992,39(2):147-152

This literature review examines the relationship between allergies and learning disabilities. Do allergies cause learning disabilities and related behavioural difficulties? The existing research is summarized and evaluated. The authors conclude that the role that allergies play in LD is complex and interrelated with other factors.  相似文献   

Strategies for infusing curricula with a multicultural perspective     

David MacPhee  Kevin Ann Oltjenbruns  Janet J. Fritz  Jill C. Kreutzer 《Innovative Higher Education》1994,18(4):289-309

We describe pedagogical strategies for infusing a multicultural perspective into courses across a variety of disciplines; these methods have proven effective with students who are predominantly Anglo and oriented toward careers in the human services. The strategies include personalizing information through vicarious learning and case studies; inculcating critical thinking skills; simulations; literary analysis; and cooperative learning in large classes. Changes were documented in student attitudes, emotions, knowledge, professional skills, and the classroom environment. We review lessons learned about the process of curriculum revision, especially the importance of faculty support systems and impediments to implementation.All of the authors are faculty members in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Colorado State University; Drs. MacPhee, Oltjenbruns, and Kreutzer are Associate Professors and Dr. Fritz is a Professor. Each of the authors is a trainer for the multicultural infusion project. David MacPhee holds a Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. His primary research interests include primary prevention for at-risk youth and families, and multicultural and gender issues. Kevin Oltjenbruns completed her doctoral degree in educational and psychological studies at the University of Colorado. The principle focus of her work has been on grief and loss, career development, and student retention. As Associate Dean of the College of Applied Human Sciences, she spearheaded the multicultural infusion project described in this article. Janet Fritz's graduate work was completed at Cornell University. Her research interests include cognitive development, children's self-worth, stress and coping, and cross-cultural variations in socialization. Jill Kreutzer earned her Ph.D. in education from Colorado State University. She is interested in adolescent development, especially resilience among at-risk youth, and career development.Portions of this work were presented at the 5th Annual National Conference on Racial & Ethnic Relations in American Higher Education (June, 1992).Requests for curriculum and training materials should be directed to the Dean's Office, College of Applied Human Sciences.  相似文献   

The Parent Threat Inventory: development, reliability, and validity     

Scher CD  Stein MB  Ingram RE  Malcarne VL  McQuaid JR 《Child abuse & neglect》2002,26(2):207-225

OBJECTIVE: The goal was to develop a retrospective inventory of parental threatening behavior to facilitate a better understanding of such behavior's role in the etiology of psychological distress. METHOD: Inventory items were developed based on theory and 135 students' responses to a question eliciting examples of threatening parental behavior. Following item development, two additional student samples (n = 200 and n = 603) completed batteries of self-report measures. Responses were used to eliminate unstable or redundant items from the inventory and to examine the inventory's psychometric properties. RESULTS: Factor analysis of the inventory revealed three factors, accounting for 66.2% of variance; this factor structure is compatible with theory, and consistent across maternal behavior scores, paternal behavior scores, and combined maternal and paternal scores. Cronbach's coefficient alphas indicated acceptable internal consistency; Pearson correlation coefficients indicated acceptable 4-week test-retest reliability. Moderate intercorrelations with two retrospective measures of childhood experiences suggested construct validity. Regression analyses demonstrated the ability of the inventory to predict both anxious and depressive symptomatology and lifetime symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorder. Normative data on combined parent scores, maternal scores, and paternal scores are also presented. CONCLUSIONS: Initial psychometric testing of the Parent Threat Inventory (PTI) suggests it is a reliable and valid tool for investigating the developmental antecedents of adult psychological distress. Further research should focus on addressing two limitations: (1) lack of normative and psychometric data on men and women suffering from clinical disorders, and (2) lack of validation by parental reporting.  相似文献
