Exploring policies for the reduction of child physical abuse and neglect     

《Child abuse & neglect》2015

Policies can be powerful tools for prevention given their potential to affect conditions that can improve population-level health. Given the dearth of empirical research on policies’ impacts on child maltreatment, this article (a) identifies 37 state policies that might have impacts on the social determinants of child maltreatment; (b) identifies available data sources documenting the implementation of 31 policies; and (c) utilizes the available data to explore effects of 11 policies (selected because they had little missing data) on child maltreatment rates. These include two policies aimed at reducing poverty, two temporary assistance to needy families policies, two policies aimed at increasing access to child care, three policies aimed at increasing access to high quality pre-K, and three policies aimed at increasing access to health care. Multi-level regression analyses between within-state trends of child maltreatment investigation rates and these 11 policies, controlling for states’ childhood poverty, adults without a high school diploma, unemployment, child burden, and race/ethnicity, identified two that were significantly associated with decreased child maltreatment rates: lack of waitlists to access subsidized child care and policies that facilitate continuity of child health care. These findings are correlational and are limited by the quality and availability of the data. Future research might focus on a reduced number of states that have good quality administrative data or population-based survey data on child maltreatment or reasonable proxies for child maltreatment and where data on the actual implementation of specific policies of interest can be documented.  相似文献

职业训练的效益评估——以企业内训为例     

徐秀燕  张慧慈  萧德瑛  巫勇贤 《湖北大学成人教育学院学报》2015,(1):4-7,23

近年来,职业训练训后评估逐渐被重视,例如美国训练与发展协会(ASTD)及台湾人才发展质量管理系统(TTQS)等,皆关注参训者于训练时所习得的新知识或技术是否能应用于职场中,以利直接提升企业的实质效益。本研究于2014年5⁶月份期间,协助台湾地区65家事业单位进行训后追踪评估,总共搜集了65位企业主管及429位参训学员评估训练成效。研究发现,学员认为参训后在新知识及技术的获得、受训内容应用于实务中、及提升工作表现等方面,具有最明显的改变;此结果与企业主管评估参训学员训后能力提升的结果相符,主管认为员工参训后在训练内容的应用、获得新知识与技术、提升工作表现、及问题解决能力等皆有不错表现。另外,企业主管也认为训练除了能提升员工表现以外,在组织目标达成、组织营运绩效、及组织营运成本等,皆有正向的影响及改善。整体上,参训学员及企业主管对于训练计划成果持正向支持的态度,并乐于继续参与训练课程以加强组织竞争力。  相似文献   

‘Before I realised they were all women… I expected it to be more about materials’: Art,Gender and Tacit Subjectivity     

Hannah Hames 《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》2016,35(1):8-20

This article discusses a critical discourse analysis research activity undertaken with a group of undergraduate primary trainees with an art specialism. The research activity involved the use of two contrasting texts discussing the work of Karla Black, Becky Beasley and Claire Barclay. The article explores how the positioning of the two texts affected the student teachers’ ability to engage effectively with ‘women's art’ on a personal and critical level, revealing some highly subjective views and raising questions around intertextuality; particularly how an individual's understanding of contexts, meanings and histories can inform collective interpretation and highlight existing subjectivity. The article subsequently identifies that although students were keen to talk about careful selection of texts, the benefits of using multiple sources and the risks of intertextual and ‘subliminal’ contamination, they were unable to reflect critically upon their own gendered reading of the texts. It concludes that this may well be a signifier of the problem – that the student teachers did not really see a problem at all.  相似文献

Arts education partnerships: sources of harmony and dissonance with cultural institutions’ collaborative efforts     

Daniel H. Bowen  Brian Kisida 《Cultural Trends》2019,28(5):379-390

ABSTRACT

Due to budget constraints, schools in the United States have increasingly turned to community arts organizations for support. School-community arts partnership stakeholders collaborate because of shared missions to provide students with valuable arts learning experiences. Investigations of these initiatives indicate that these partnerships improve arts learning opportunities and increase public support and resources for arts education. However, not much is known about the experiences and perspectives of the arts organizations that participate in these partnerships. Coordinating collective efforts with a multitude of institutions and interests poses challenges. In this study, we examine survey data collected from arts organization administrators who participated in a large-scale school-community arts partnership initiative. We find that these organizations are generally positive about their impacts on students’ educational outcomes, but there is substantial variation in these views. We also find that organizations differ in their levels of support for these collective efforts. Sources of this variation appear to be attributable to organizations’ preexisting resources and extent to which they are established. While this difference in levels of support is potentially inevitable, we find evidence that the operations handled by the “backbone” organization, i.e. the initiative’s facilitators and overseers, can significantly influence organizations’ levels of support for these efforts. Organizations are more likely to support these collaborative efforts when they believe the backbone organization ensures transparency with initiative operations, provides regular, effective communication, and effectively resolves competing priorities.  相似文献

质性评价:另一种学生学业评价方法     

苑毅 《教育教学论坛》2020,(19):360-361

量化评价是基于自然科学主义观点对学生学业开展评价,它将学生作为统一的整体忽略了个体之间的差异,而基于人文主义的质性评价则注重学生之间的个体差异。质性评价为职业教育中的学业评价提供了另一种好思路,值得研究和推广。  相似文献   

Uncharted territory and extraordinary times: the SENCo's experiences of leading special education during a pandemic in England     

Tristan Middleton  Lynda Kay 《British Journal of Special Education》2021,48(2):212-234

This research focuses on the impact of the context of Covid-19 on the role of the SENCo in English schools. The SENCo's role is a contested field; however, the current Special Educational Needs Code of Practice identifies 11 key areas of SENCos' work. A widely distributed survey was used to access the voice of SENCos across the country, and received 26 responses. Data were analysed using a realistic evaluation framework to identify the impact of Covid-19 on the work of the SENCo. The research indicated that practice in this context had changed in some key areas, and also identified three new aspects of the SENCo role. These point to the need to revise policy and guidance relating to the SENCo being part of the senior leadership team, providing emotional support for adults, and engaging in practical pedagogical activities.  相似文献
