Can a non-Muslim Mass Shooter be a “Terrorist”?: A Comparative Content Analysis of the Las Vegas and Orlando Shootings     

Mohamad Hamas Elmasry  Mohammed el-Nawawy 《Journalism Practice》2020,14(7):863-879

ABSTRACT

This study used the 2017 Las Vegas and 2016 Orlando mass shootings as case studies to explore alleged double standards in reporting of events featuring Muslim and non-Muslim mass perpetrators of violence. The study used framing theory and content analysis to examine Los Angeles Times and New York Times coverage of the shootings during the one week immediately following each event. Findings are consistent with previous literature and the researchers’ expectations. The Orlando shooting, carried out by a Muslim, was allotted more coverage despite the fact that it produced nine fewer fatalities than the Las Vegas shooting, perpetrated by a white non-Muslim. The analysis also showed that the examined newspapers were more likely to employ a “terrorism” frame in their coverage of the Orlando shooting than in their coverage of the Las Vegas shooting; link the Orlando mass shooting with the global war on terrorism; and to humanize Stephen Paddock, the white perpetrator of the Las Vegas shooting. Framing differences found in this study may contribute to downplaying the threat of white male gun violence, and to reinforcing fears of Islam and Muslims.  相似文献   

Coordinating multiple representations of polynomials: What do patterns in students' solution strategies reveal?     

《Learning and Instruction》2017

We investigate the strategies used by 64 advanced secondary mathematics students to identify whether a given pair of polynomial representations (graphs, tables, or equations) corresponded to the same function on an assessment of coordinating representations. Participants also completed assessments of domain-related knowledge and background skills. Cluster analysis of strategies by representation pair revealed patterns in the participants' strategy use. Two clusters were identifiable on tasks that required matching equations to graphs and graphs to tables. We identified overlap between these two clusters, suggesting that while the representation pair influenced strategy choice, there was also a general distinction between students who used more and less sophisticated strategies. However, students who used more sophisticated coordination strategies were similar to the others on measures of domain-specific knowledge or background skills. We consider implications for future investigations testing interventions to promote coordinating representations.  相似文献

Formative Assessment: A Meta‐Analysis and a Call for Research     

Neal Kingston  Brooke Nash 《Educational Measurement》2011,30(4):28-37

An effect size of about .70 (or .40–.70) is often claimed for the efficacy of formative assessment, but is not supported by the existing research base. More than 300 studies that appeared to address the efficacy of formative assessment in grades K‐12 were reviewed. Many of the studies had severely flawed research designs yielding uninterpretable results. Only 13 of the studies provided sufficient information to calculate relevant effect sizes. A total of 42 independent effect sizes were available. The median observed effect size was .25. Using a random effects model, a weighted mean effect size of .20 was calculated. Moderator analyses suggested that formative assessment might be more effective in English language arts (ELA) than in mathematics or science, with estimated effect sizes of .32, .17, and .09, respectively. Two types of implementation of formative assessment, one based on professional development and the other on the use of computer‐based formative systems, appeared to be more effective than other approaches, yielding mean effect size of .30 and .28, respectively. Given the wide use and potential efficacy of good formative assessment practices, the paucity of the current research base is problematic. A call for more high‐quality studies is issued.  相似文献

基础教育英语语法教学价值分析   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

陈力 《课程.教材.教法》2011,(3)

结合西方应用语言学和语言习得研究的进展,分析中国英语语法教学的现状,我们可以发现国内对语法教学价值判断的失当源于极性思维、盲从心理和实践精神的缺位;语法教学的必要性受多种复杂变量影响而处于一种分层次的连续状态,因此不是教与不教的问题而是更适合谁的问题;立足实践第一的原则才能客观看待语法教学的价值。  相似文献   

当代大学生思想问题的解决策略——“思想分析”在辅导员工作中的应用     

刘先锐 《唐山师范学院学报》2014,(4):127-129

大学生心理问题和思想问题既相互区别又相互联系,高校辅导员对于两类性质各异的问题要采用不同的策略。大学生思想问题的分析和疏导可以采用“思想分析”的方法,思想分析继承和发展了马克思主义分析问题的思想方法,分析的过程也是开解思想“症结”的过程,“解惑、去苦”中运用的方法和技术有“宁静法”“四阶段法”“认知颖悟法”等。  相似文献

“Enactment of Sámi Past in School Textbooks: Towards Multiple Pasts for Future Making”     

Torun Granstrøm Ekeland 《Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research》2017,61(3):319-332

The article examines the use of archaeological knowledge in elementary history textbooks used in Norwegian schools today. The aim is to determine whether we can find any traces of colonialism by reviewing how these narratives perform in interrelations within and between the Sámi and Norse pasts, and how the narratives allow for hybridity and heterogeneity. Postcolonial theory turns the narrative into an object of analysis. The findings show that the Sámi material remains are outside the system of cultural change and that the temporal and spatial distances produce binary and homogeneous cultures. New material perspectives can intervene in singular performativity. Learning to enact dynamic material heterogeneity may affect the future of pupils’ participation in cultural negotiations of pastsin present.  相似文献
