The Usefulness of Time Lines in Learning Chronological Relationships in Text Materials     

O. L. Davis Jr.  Linda Clayton Hicks  Norman D. Bowers 《Journal of Experimental Education》2013,81(3):22-25

Methodological problems, have limited the usefulness of findings from experiments into learning by discovery. By using programmed instruction materials, a within-class design, and other controls, an attempt was made to remove confounding. Two tasks were used: concept learning and principle learning. For each task, a separate 2x2x2 factorial design containing sixteen Ss in each cell was used. Independent variables were instructional method (egrule and ruleg), school grade (9 and 5), and intelligence (high and average). A set of eight different measures, involving retention, transfer, and ease of relearning, was used for each task. It was found that the egrule and ruleg methods did not differ significantly, and that interaction between instructional method and the other variables was low.  相似文献   

Value Differences Among Public High School Teachers Using a Regression Model Analysis of Variance Technique     

Norman A. Sprinthall  Albert E. Beaton 《Journal of Experimental Education》2013,81(2):36-42

This study examined outcomes of a supervision practicum in which graduate students supervised under-graduates in teacher education during microteaching activities and studied their supervisory behavior using videotape replays of conferences with teacher-trainees. Pre- and post-measures were used to assess changes in conference style as reflected by verbal behavior, and changes in the relationship between conference dialogues and subsequent teaching behavior. Supervisors shifted toward more indirect-supportive conference styles. Conclusions were that videotaped microteaching can be adapted to improve supervisor education by 1.) providing realistic supervisory experience, 2.) serving as a vehicle to modify the conference behavior of potential supervisors, and 3.) serving as a research vehicle for accumulating new knowledge and testing current theories concerning the process of supervision.  相似文献

Pragmatism at work in Britain: Some reflections on attempting to introduce the assessment of prior experiential learning.     

Norman Evans 《Studies in Continuing Education》2013,35(2):122-130

The Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) involves students or prospective students documenting their learning from life and work experience in such a way that they can use such documentation to gain access and advance standing in tertiary education institutions. For the past ten years, the author has been centrally involved in introducing the idea of assessing prior experiential learning in Britain, most recently as Director of the Learning from Experience Trust. In this paper he reflects on his personal experience of the issues involved, the barriers which were faced and the ways in which the idea has been accepted.  相似文献

The Teaching of English in Puerto Rico: One Hundred Years of Degrees of Bilingualism     

Norman I. Maldonado 《Higher Education in Europe》2000,25(4):487-497

The bilingual policies of the University of Puerto Rico are described in the context of bilingualism in Puerto Rico as a whole, given that the second language, English, was a relatively recent imposition coming after several centuries of thorough Hispanization. Although Puerto Rico is profoundly Hispanic in terms of both language and culture, its people understand the need to be proficient in English. Thus the University of Puerto Rico is taking many steps to make sure that its students become proficient in both Spanish and English. A number of programmes are described, and the results in terms of improved knowledge of English, in particular, are detailed.  相似文献   

SCI-LINK: An innovative project linking research scientists and science teachers     

Dr. Norman D. Anderson 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》1993,4(2):44-50

Summary The major purpose of the SCI-LINK Projects was to explore ways of linking research scientists and school science teachers. Not only did the project provide these teachers with a better understanding of scientific environmental research and recent findings, but it allowed them to develop activities and other instructional materials they could use in their classrooms. Leadership skills also were developed as evidenced by the Master Teachers that evolved and the many professional activities in which they have been engaged since the first institutes. Many things were done during the course of the project in order to make the process more efficient. These include assistance to scientists in making their presentations and field trips more effective and helping teachers with their writing and library skills. Also explored were the nature and format for the activities the teachers developed and how they can best be evaluated and disseminated. Positive feedback from teachers and the continued interest of research scientists to participate has led to another project patterned after the model used in the SCI-LINK Project. This second generation project, GLOBE-NET, also supported by the National Science Foundation, involves scientists and teachers in the development of instructional materials on global change. At least some of the efforts to improve science education should include scientists and teachers as partners. The model used in the SCI-LINK Project provides one way of doing so.  相似文献

The Implementation and Evaluation of Comprehensive School Guidance Programs in the United States: Progress and Prospects     

Gysbers  Norman C.  Lapan  Richard T. 《International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance》2001,1(3):197-208

The evolution of guidance in the schools of the United States from a position to a service to a program is described. Then the prevailing structure for guidance, the comprehensive guidance program is presented. This section of the article provides a brief overview of the basic elements of the program. Finally, the article closes with discussion of guidance program evaluation as well as presents the results of several studies that offer evidence of the impact of guidance programs. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献
