Non-disabled children’s ideas about disability and disabled people     

Angharad E. Beckett 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2014,35(6):856-875

This article discusses findings from an Economic and Social Research Council-funded study exploring non-disabled children’s ideas about disability. This represents the first in-depth sociological investigation of children’s ideas about disabled people as members of wider society. Data are presented from focus group discussions with children aged 6–7 and 10–11. The article draws upon William H. Sewell Jr’s theorizing of structure and agency and, in particular, employs his concept of ‘cultural schemas’. The article explores non-disabled children’s enactment of various cultural schemas relating to disability and argues that although they are capable of questioning, even transforming, schemas, they are primarily engaged in enacting a series of ‘hegemonic’ schemas that maintain their privileged position as non-disabled people. The article concludes by urging schools and educationalists to do more to encourage non-disabled children to think differently and positively about disabled people.  相似文献   

Kindergarten teachers' literacy beliefs and self-reported practices: On the heels of a new national literacy curriculum     

《Teaching and Teacher Education》2014

This study took place six years after the introduction of a national early literacy curriculum in Israel. We compared the beliefs of kindergarten teachers on the importance of literacy goals with their perception of parents' and the educational system's beliefs. We examined teachers' self-reported practices and how these practices changed with the curriculum adoption. Teachers (N = 120) responded to a closed questionnaire, and 12 of them were interviewed. Incongruence emerged between teachers' own beliefs and the beliefs they attributed to others. This incongruence facilitates understanding of the rationales for their practices and their relationships with parents and professional partners.  相似文献   

Cheating as subversive and strategic resistance: vocational students’ resistance and conformity towards academic subjects in a Swedish upper secondary school     

《Ethnography and Education》2013,8(3):341-355

This article is based on a field study in two boy-dominated classes in a vocational programme in a Swedish upper secondary school. The focus of the article is the boys’ perspective on their cheating activities during lessons and tests within academic subjects. Since the boys often regarded these subjects as boring and useless in relation to their future work as construction workers, their cheating is analysed as a matter of anti-school attitudes and a form of resistance to these subjects. Even if cheating is a violation of school norms, celebrated and seen as amusing by the boys, it was also an acknowledgement of the authority of the school; that is they recognised that the academic subjects could have importance for them in the future. Thus, a ‘good’ grade was assumed to improve their chances of getting a job later.  相似文献   

Teacher efficacy: An investigation of Economics teachers     

《Africa Education Review》2013,10(2):376-401

Abstract

In an era of unprecedented curriculum change it is not surprising that many South African teachers have begun to question their ability to affect learner performance. Teachers have to engage with a changing learner culture, with new curriculum content and are under pressure to embrace different teaching strategies without fully understanding the theoretical principles on which they are based. In this paper the authors explore high-school Economics teachers' beliefs about their capacities to influence learning. This paper is based on a quantitative empirical investigation into Economics teachers' efficacy beliefs about the teaching of Economics. Economics teachers from each of the 45 Department of Education delineated districts in KwaZulu-Natal province were selected to be participants in the study. We argue that while Economics teachers perceive their role as important in the learning process, male teachers in particular see the teacher as the dominant influence on learner performance, and are more confident than female teachers of their knowledge and teaching abilities.  相似文献   

Assessing second phase high school learners’ attitudes towards technology in addressing the technological skills shortage in the South African context     

《Africa Education Review》2013,10(1):33-58

Abstract

This article argues the case that the decline in the numbers of school leavers entering science, technology, engineering and mathematics study courses worldwide and in South Africa in particular, is linked to negative attitudes towards Technology. The issue is regarded as critical since a negative trend in new entrants into the technology sector contributes to the technological skills shortage experienced locally and abroad. The purpose of the research was to determine learners’ perception of the concept of technology in general; their current attitude-status on seven dimensions of attitude towards technology; and factors that affect attitude. To this effect the article reports on the results of a technology perceptions-and-attitudes survey (derived from the PATT-US attitude-questionnaire) conducted on 95 Grade 10-to-12 learners during the 2009 National Science Week initiative held in the Northwest Province of South Africa. The initiative was hosted to promote science and technology awareness amongst the school going youth of the Northwest Province. The Grade 10-to-12 group included in the research represented future school leavers in the Northwest Province who would possibly consider entering into a technological career. The results of the study indicated that age, gender and grade-level of learners presented as factors that statistically significantly affected attitudes towards and perceptions of technology. The findings of the study raised the question whether the various dimensions of attitudes measured in the study influence learners’ choice of a career in technology in different ways.  相似文献   

Common Dilemmas in Learning Short-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (STPP)     

《Journal of College Student Psychotherapy》2013,27(1):57-73

The present paper reviews critical issues involved in the learning and supervision of Short-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (STPP). Though interest and demand for brief treatment formats has burgeoned, systematic instruction in these modalities is seen as minimal. While a college counseling center setting is particularly well suited for implementing brief dynamic therapy, there are a variety of training issues which must be addressed when learning this treatment modality. Aspects of STPP most commonly causing treatment dilemmas are highlighted.  相似文献   

Some Ethical Considerations:     

《Journal of College Student Psychotherapy》2013,27(3):23-34

This commentary addresses some of the ethical considerations that arise when the college consultant attempts to strike a balance between the parsimony of Shakespeare's Cordelia and the "can-do" posture of Pirandello's Guido. Particular emphasis is given to the ethical implications of mandatory psychotherapy. As well, the author's clinical examples are analyzed and alternative approaches to those that were used in the vignettes are recommended.  相似文献   

US host nationals' attitudes toward Japanese: the role of communication and relational solidarity in the intergroup contact hypothesis     

Makiko Imamura  Yan Bing Zhang  Cheongmi Shim 《亚洲交流杂志》2013,23(6):584-600

Guided by the intergroup contact hypothesis and intergroup contact theory, the authors examined US Americans' (N=403) communication experiences and relational solidarity with their most frequent Japanese contact and associations with their attitudes toward Japanese as a cultural group. Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) results showed that both communication frequency and quality had an indirect effect through relational solidarity on affective, behavioral, and cognitive attitudes, demonstrating the critical mediating role of relational solidarity. Results also revealed that communication quality was positively and directly associated with the attitudinal measures. Implications of the findings are discussed with respect to prior literature on relational communication in intergroup and intercultural contexts.  相似文献
