Essential elements of successful child abuse and neglect treatment     

Anne Harris Cohn 《Child abuse & neglect》1979,3(2):491-496

Not all child abuse is preventable. Society faces an ongoing need to support programs that treat the members of families in which abuse occurs. There is little systeamatically generated knowledge on the most efficient and effective ways to assist parents and children faced with abuse. The purpose of our 40-month study of eleven child abuse and neglect demonstration service programs in the United States was to expand the knowledge base in this area by determining, through evaluative research, the essential elements of successful treatment programs. This paper highlights our findings that pertain to more effective delivery of services to abusive and neglectful parents.  相似文献   

More about increasing the quality of educational intervention research: A synthesis     

Michael Pressley  Karen R. Harris 《Educational Psychology Review》1994,6(3):271-289

A synthesis of the commentaries to our leadoff paper is presented, along with our replies to some of the specific comments offered. When the original analysis and the commentaries are combined, an exceptionally thorough summary of issues that should be considered by intervention researchers emerges. We hope this set of issues will be useful to the educational research community.A draft of this synthesis was circulated among the commentators in this special issue, with a request to determine whether their views were represented fairly. There were few reservations expressed, and in every case when a concern was expressed, we concluded on review that slight adjustment was required to present the commentator's perspective more clearly and/or fairly, and we attempted to do so.  相似文献   

Law enforcement officers as investigators and therapists in child sexual abuse: A training model     

Lore E. Stone  R.P.“Toby” Tyler  James J. Mead 《Child abuse & neglect》1984,8(1):75-82

Law enforcement officers, often the first professionals to come in contact with a victim of child sexual abuse, can either increase or decrease the traumatic impact on the child and the family at the time of disclosure. The model for a training program for police officers in handling cases of child sexual abuse outlined in this paper is divided into three sections. The first part is directed towards theoretical issues involved in this problem, including an explanation of the history and background of sexual abuse of children by adults and of the difference in the dynamics of extra- and intrafamilial sexual abuse. The second part consists of a detailed explanation of different types of sex offenses and of standard physical examinations of sexual abuse victims. Graded slides of physical trauma geared towards wound identification are paired with relaxation exercises. The third section focuses on special considerations when interviewing sexually abused children. The difference between interviewing and interrogation, specific questioning techniques, and the use of videotape is explained. Each part of this training procedure is followed by a question and answer period and small group discussions for the purpose of encouraging disclosure and better understanding of the officers' personal reactions to cases of child sexual abuse.  相似文献   

Educational services in the University of Bath     

K. Austwick  N. D. C. Harris 《Higher Education》1972,1(2):245-249

Educational technology units, audio-visual aids centres or television services have been established in many British Universities during the present quinquennium. These have met with varied responses from academics, and several organizational patterns have emerged. This article sets out to describe the organizational structure and the range of services offered by the Educational Services in the University of Bath. The Service grew out of the amalgamation of several discrete and independent provisions within the University—projection services, a City-University television service, a unit in the School of Education and so on.Across the board involvement is achieved via a Senate Committee responsible for overall direction, credibility is established by the appointment of an existing academic staff member as director, and an internal bulletin provides the core of a communications system with the academics. Staff seminars on curriculum analysis and development, methods of evaluation and so on, backed up by occasional visiting speakers, provide theoretical backup to the practical and hardware services. An important aspect of the work of the Service is co-operation and co-ordination with the new University Library which has been designed to provide both book and non-book information services. Professor Austwick is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Educational Technology, and Mr. Harris is the Director of Educational Services in the University.

Les services annexes de l'enseignement a l'Universite de Bath

Résumé Des services rassemblant les moyens techniques d'enseignement, ainsi que des centres audio-visuels ou télévisuels ont été créés dans de nombreuses universités anglaises ces dernières années. Ils ont suscité des réactions différentes de la part du milieu universitaire et, de ce fait, des formes d'organisation différentes sont apparues. L'article vise à décrire l'organisation et la gamme des services qui se rencontrent en cette matière à l'Université de Bath. Le Service des moyens pédagogiques est né de l'intégration de plusieurs services indépendants qui existaient au sein de l'Université: services de projection, de télévision, un groupe de l'Institut d'éducation etc.Les relations avec le Conseil sont assurées par un comité responsable de la marche générale des services; le sérieux de l'entreprise est garanti par la nomination comme directeur d'une personalité membre du corps universitaire; la publication d'un bulletin intérieur fournit un moyen de communication avec l'ensemble des universitaires. Des séminaires consacrés à l'analyse et à l'élaboration des filières d'études, aux méthodes d'évaluation des résultats et autres sujets semblables sont animés par des spécialistes invités et procurent une aide théorique aux services d'exécution technique. Un aspect important de l'activité du Service réside dans la coopération et la coordination avec la nouvelle bibliothèque de l'Université qui a été concue pour diffuser l'information, que celle-ci soit livrescue ou non. Le professeur Austwick est président du Comité pour la technologie de l'enseigement et M. Harris est directeur du Service des techniques d'enseignement à l'Université de Bath.

Learning about the past: exploring the opportunities and challenges of using an outdoor learning approach     

Richard Harris  Helen Bilton 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2019,49(1):69-91

This paper examines the potential of outdoor learning for supporting children’s understanding of and attitude towards history. A class of primary school children participated in an intensive experiential, residential history programme. A range of data was collected before, during and after the residential programme, and the findings suggest that the experience had a positive impact on the children’s attitude towards history and enabled many of the children to be able to easily recall highly specific factual knowledge. However, the children’s understanding of history as a provisional construct was not developed, as it was not a strong feature of the programme. Nor was the experiential nature of the experience fully exploited. Overall the study suggests that such a programme has the potential to support children’s learning of the past, but a deeper understanding of history, drawing on the benefits of outdoor learning pedagogy, needs to be planned for more explicitly.  相似文献   

Networking around The Waterhole and other tales: the importance of relationships among texts for reading and related instruction     

Pauline Harris  Barbara McKenzie 《Literacy》2005,39(1):31-37

This article explores ways in which children's picture books form networks of relationships, and their implications for readers and classroom teachers. In this exploration, reading is seen to involve making connections within and beyond the text at hand. These connections, evoked differently across readers, shape readers' interpretations of text. Many possible meanings may arise from just one text, reinforcing the idea that no single correct meaning resides in a text. This article demonstrates tools for exploring textual connections with readers, and the value of such explorations for opening‐up reader interpretations of a text.  相似文献

“Supporting excellence in the arts: from measurement to judgement”     

Susannah Eckersley 《Cultural Trends》2008,17(3):183-187

The DCMS paper “Supporting excellence in the arts”, also known as the McMaster Review, raised more questions than it answered in terms of how UK cultural policy is likely to develop in the future. Although many of its intentions are laudable, the report fails to resolve the inherent problems associated with defining, measuring and judging cultural “excellence”, even though this forms the core of McMaster's argument about how policy should develop. This may have significant implications for cultural institutions in the future.

In addition, many of the report's recommendations may either be contradictory or impractical in the current policy climate – such as the desire for institutions to take more risks whilst simultaneously increasing visitor numbers and meeting other targets. As such, without a wider change in the Government's approach and a re-acknowledgement of culture's intrinsic value, “excellence” may just become the latest buzzword for practitioners, rather than the key principle upon which future decisions will be based.  相似文献
