Telling their stories: A study of librarians' use of narrative in instruction     

Mindy Thuna  Joanna Szurmak 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2019,45(5):102048

Narratives are the heuristics the brain uses to make sense of the world. When they are embraced in teaching, they make the process more efficient, engaging and enjoyable for both students and instructors. While the insights of psychologists, neuroscientists and education researchers into the cognitive and affective mechanisms of meaning-making are not new, capitalizing on these insights in order to engage and instruct is part of a recent trend of evidence-based educational practices. This study is unique in that it uses a phenomenological methodology and semi-structured interviews with 19 academic librarians who teach in Canadian higher education institutions to determine what narrative tools or approaches they use, and to what extent these practices may enrich both their outcomes and their teaching praxis. The authors document the variety of ways in which librarians use narrative techniques instinctively, categorizing these teaching narratives into concepts with more granular themes. A purposeful use and reuse of these narrative techniques, the authors hope, will help inform librarian teaching and reflective practice.  相似文献

“二战”后土著民族在加拿大环境政策中的作用     

张献华 《内蒙古大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2011,(4):31-35

＂二战＂后,加拿大土著民族改变了以往＂边缘者＂的角色,在环境政策制定中逐渐发挥着重要的作用。这种地位的改变是由土著民族自身、国内法制变化和社会氛围、国际压力等多种因素综合作用的结果。土著人的利益已成为联邦政府和地方政府制定环境和资源政策时不可忽视的重要因素之一。尽管土著民族在资源利用和环境管理方面争取到了越来越多的参与权和自主权,但仍受到很大限制。而环境和自然资源也成为土著民族在加拿大政治舞台上争取福祉的重要载体。  相似文献   

Inclusive school leadership: Examining the experiences of Canadian school principals in supporting students with special education needs     

Steve Sider  Kimberly Maich  Jhonel Morvan  Mélissa Villella  Paul Ling  Chantelle Repp 《Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs》2021,21(3):233-241

As school systems strive to support students with special education needs in inclusive schools, there has been a persistent lack of scholarly literature that addresses the ways in which school principals are engaged in this process. This article is a response to this gap and aims to examine the question: What types of experiences do school principals identify as formational in their support of students with special education needs and fostering inclusive schools? Based on the analysis of data collected from 285 school principals from six provinces in Canada, four key themes are identified including: relationships, modelling behaviours, communication and principal isolation and lack of preparation. These themes are examined with consideration for how to support principals’ professional leadership in fostering inclusive schools. As a result, this article’s significance is in its examination of the experiences of principals and how these influence their leadership practice for supporting students with special education needs and fostering inclusive schools.  相似文献   

Alliances are not enough explaining rapid growth in biotechnology firms     

Jorge Niosi 《Research Policy》2003,32(5):737-750

The goal of this paper is to understand the factors explaining differential growth in biotechnology firms. It aims also to add some caution to the generalized opinion according to which alliances are the key factor behind new firm performance. The theoretical framework is based on competence, and evolutionary theories of the firm. These approaches underline the fact that within similar industries and technologies firms display clear and persistent variety in performance. Some 60 dedicated biotechnology firms (DBFs) were interviewed across Canada; half of them experienced rapid growth. A few variables, including alliances, explained much of the fast growth.  相似文献
