Technology and Political Artifacts: The CFP2000 Workshop on Freedom and Privacy by Design     

Leonard N. Foner 《The Information Society》2002,18(3):153-163

An experimental, all-day Workshop on Freedom and Privacy by Design took place on 4 April 2000, as part of the 10th annual Conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy. It invited more than 30 well-known systems architects, implementors, and experts in privacy and usability to investigate, in depth, three different proposals for creating political artifacts: technology intended to bring about particular types of political change--in this case, the reinforcement of certain civil liberties. This article summarizes the rationale and structure of the workshop, the three proposals investigated, and what the workshop and audience members had to say about the issues. It concludes with some information on the workshop's impact to date and what lessons were learned by running such an experiment.  相似文献   

Psychosocial factors impacting STEM career selection     

Richard Lamb  Leonard Annetta  David Vallett  Jonah Firestone  Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe  Heather Walker 《The Journal of educational research》2018,111(4):446-458

Attention on P-20 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has increased tremendously in recent years. Many efforts are underway to promote STEM major and career selection across the nation; specifically, in engineering and computer science. The authors' purpose was to examine an underlying profile combinations of latent traits that influence student STEM career selection while designing serious educational games (SEGs). The authors combine a number of quantitative analysis methods in an effort to develop a rich understanding of how a profile combination of traits interact with one another to effect selection of STEM careers and majors. Study participants were 585 students enrolled in a full-time traditional high school. The addition of SEG design experiences into the student profile increases the probability of STEM career selection by 5.1 times.  相似文献   

Subject librarian as coauthor: A case study with recommendations     

Kelsey Corlett-Rivera 《College & Undergraduate Libraries》2017,24(2-4):189-202

ABSTRACT

It can be challenging for subject librarians to participate in or lead Digital Humanities projects. This article presents a case study of a cataloging and digitization project that led to the creation of a Digital History website, both led by a subject librarian. Recommendations, such as leveraging your librarian skills and targeting graduate students, will be useful for other subject librarians who are looking for ways to become involved in the Digital Humanities.  相似文献

The structure of research training in England   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kelly Coate  Diana Leonard 《The Australian Educational Researcher》2002,29(3):19-42

Over the past twenty-five years, the UK government has implemented reforms in doctoral level provision, led by the Research Councils and especially the Economic and Social Research Council. These have emphasised training in research methodology and also, recently, other employment-related skills. This article considers the drivers of these initiatives (demands for accountability and ‘new public management’) and some of their consequences (including the steering of research in particular directions and a neglect of the scholarship produced and also doctoral studies as a form of lifelong learning). It also examines some of the universities' responses in the form of diversification of doctoral studies, the institution of graduate schools, and the establishment of a National Council for Graduate Education. Throughout these reforms, the diversity of doctoral students and their concerns have largely been neglected.  相似文献

Dimensions of utilization and types of evaluation approaches     

Leonard Rutman 《Studies in Educational Evaluation》1982,8(2):163-168

The growing interest in program evaluation is related to the various uses that such studies are expected to serve, including: influencing budget decisions, serving as a medium of accountability, facilitating policymaking, and guiding managerial decisions regarding program design and delivery. There are also some uses which are not generally publicly acknowledge such as: to whitewash programs, to purposefully destroy them, and to postpone needed action.The need for understanding various interpretations of utilization is reflected in the different conclusions that writers have drawn about the extent to which evaluation findings are utilized. Those who claim that evaluation findings have not been utilized tend to view utilization as the immediate and direct use of evaluation findings for decisionmaking. On the other hand, those who view utilization as having more modest uses (e.g., prodding action or providing added assurance) tend to produce evidence that program evaluation has been widely utilized in decision making.This paper will examine utilization primarily from the viewpoint of decisionmaking. This focus will serve as the basis for demonstrating how the meaning of utilization differs according to the purpose(s) and methodology of the evaluation study conducted.  相似文献   

Copyright and you

Trademark, copyright and patent protections are necessary concerns in education and training, not only from an economic perspective, but for many other reasons. For example, Georgia Crown Distributing Co. was hired by the University of Georgia Alumni Association to distribute bottles of wine bearing the university’s logo  相似文献   

The effects of response format of a structured learning sequence on third grade children's classification achievement     

Leonard Popp  Ronald Raven 《科学教学研究杂志》1972,9(2):177-184

Classification was selected for use in this investigation because of the central position of process factors in teaching and learning. A twelve section classification program which was based on 12 rules derived from Piaget's analysis of classification was used in the study. The program was produced in both a constructed response (CR) format and in a matching multiple choice (MC) response format. The 36-item classification test was similarly produced in both response modes. Criterion scores on both the CR test and the MC test were collected from each of the 239 grade three subjects following treatment with the CR program, the MC program, or with drawing activities (control). The results of the multivariate and univariate analyses of variance indicated that the program in both response modes enhanced classification achievement although the effects on MC test scores were not consistent across classes, and that each program format enhanced achievement to a greater degree on the test which matched the program response mode.  相似文献   

Differential acquisition of discriminated autoshaping as a function of stimulus qualities and locations     

Craig A. Bowe  Leonard Green  James D. Miller 《Learning & behavior》1987,15(3):285-292

In each of two experiments, different groups of pigeons were required to discriminate between one of two basic kinds of stimulus differences: stimulus quality or stimulus location. For stimulus-quality groups, a key was illuminated by one of two colors on trials ending with food delivery and by the other color on trials ending with no food. For stimulus-location groups, a key was illuminated at one of two locations on trials ending with food delivery and at the other location on trials ending with no food. The birds began to respond differentially to the stimuli (i.e., peck the keys on food trials and not peck the keys on no-food trials) earlier in acquisiton if the stimulus qualities served as the signals for trial outcomes than if the stimulus locations served as those signals. The results from both experiments are consistent with predictions from a hypothesis regarding interactions among the qualities and locations of stimuli and responses (the “quality-location hypothesis”). Furthermore, the present results support other recent demonstrations of the important role that spatial relations among stimuli can play in classical conditioning.  相似文献
