Evaluating a computer‐based reading programme with children with Intellectual Disabilities: feasibility and pilot research     

Emily J. Roberts-Tyler  John Carl Hughes  Richard P. Hastings 《Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs》2020,20(1):14-26

Increasing evidence indicates that individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) might benefit from phonics‐based reading instruction. However, research and instruction in this field has predominantly focused on sight word reading. Models for complex interventions recommend that feasibility research be conducted prior to conducting randomised studies to assess efficacy of interventions (Thabane et al., 2010). The aim of the current paper is therefore to investigate feasibility questions relating to conducting a full‐scale randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluation of an online, phonics‐based reading programme (Headsprout^? Early Reading; HER) with children with ID. Employing a randomised pre‐test post‐test group design, this study explores and trials important aspects of a RCT evaluation to inform a full‐scale RCT. We also found that HER had a significant effect on reading skills when compared with ‘education as usual’, with large effect sizes on the main outcome measure. This indicates that further, more robust evaluations using HER with children with ID are a worthwhile pursuit.  相似文献

HSK口部动词研究及启示     

杜婷 《安庆师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2011,30(5):31-35

口部动词是动词的特殊小类,也是对外汉语集合式词汇教学的一个重要集合。通过对《汉语水平考试词汇与汉字等级大纲》中口部动词的研究发现：口部动词可分为四类,且义项丰富,多义口部动词义项泛化的基本形式为：＂口部动作义→一般口部动作义→引申义或比喻义＂;口部动词的使用频度与大纲的设计基本一致。根据这一研究结果,对外汉语口部动词的教学可以遵循区分频度原则、分别释义原则和汉外对比原则以提高教学效果,并可以针对不同级别的学生确定不同的教学设计思路。  相似文献   

中英亲属称谓差异对比分析     

陈元红 《浙江工贸职业技术学院学报》2011,11(1):68-72

中英两种语言都有其独特的亲属称谓体系。本文通过对父系与母系、姻亲和血亲、长幼关系以及泛化的中英亲属称谓差异的比较,探询其背后的文化因素,发现家庭类型、宗法观念、继嗣制、宗教信仰、价值取向、社会性质和政治生活等是造成两者差异的主要原因。通过探究,使我们更好地了解中西方文化,从而减少跨文化交际中所产生的困惑和误解,使跨文化交际顺利进行。  相似文献   

Acquiring Clinical Knowledge from an Online Video Platform: A Randomized Controlled Experiment on the Relevance of Integrating Anatomical Information and Clinical Practice     

Johannes Grosser  Martina Bientzle  Thomas Shiozawa  Bernhard Hirt  Joachim Kimmerle 《Anatomical sciences education》2019,12(5):478-484

Basic subjects in medical education, such as anatomy, are often taught through teaching formats that do not always sufficiently demonstrate the relevance of this basic information for clinical practice. Accordingly, it is a recent trend in anatomy education to link anatomical information more explicitly to clinical practice. This article presents an online video platform (Tuebingen’s Sectio Chirurgica [TSC]) as one means of explicitly integrating preclinical anatomical knowledge and clinical application. The purpose of the study presented here was to examine the effects of videos through which medical students were educated about Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction. A TSC video about this surgical procedure was compared to a video with a traditional lecture providing the identical information. Participants (n = 114) perceived the TSC video to be superior in comprehensibility of the presentation (P = 0.003) and conceivability of the surgical procedure (P = 0.027), and to be more entertaining (P < 0.001). Moreover, participants in the TSC condition acquired more clinical knowledge than in the lecture condition (P = 0.043) but did not differ in their acquisition of anatomical knowledge. Mediation analyses indicated that the effect on the acquisition of clinical knowledge was mediated by comprehensibility, conceivability, and entertainment. These findings are discussed regarding their implications for medical education in terms of contributing to the general trend of linking preclinical anatomical knowledge to clinical application. A discussion about the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are also provided.  相似文献   

大学新校园区建设用地指标控制思考——基于《福建省教育用地控制指标(试行稿)》     

刘宝光  刘恒烨 《福建工程学院学报》2011,9(4)

解读了《福建省教育用地控制指标(试行稿)》(下简称控制指标)主要内容及其重要参数,结合92指标①、福州地区某普通高等院校新校园区建设用地个案,比较分析新校园区建设用地相关参数,认为该控制指标总体上全方位地有力控制了教育用地,有一定的合理性和现实指导意义,为了更有利土地资源集约利用、并满足高校可持续发展需要,尚需在控制指标某些条款进一步斟酌修订,如:规划选址用地指标细化及其前瞻性、建筑容积率更科学合理的计算等。  相似文献   

Constellations of risk factors as moderators of the impact of a randomized intervention on students’ reading skills in rural India     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2019

Individual, family and community risk factors might determine the success or failure of educational interventions. The study is a secondary analysis, aimed at identifying distinctive constellations of risk for educational attainment, and at exploring whether membership to these constellations moderated the impact of a cluster-randomized reading intervention in rural India. By means of latent profile analysis, four constellations of risk were identified based on individual and family risk-factors. Multilevel cumulative logit models confirmed that the intervention had a positive impact on the outcome, and revealed that profile membership did not moderate the effect of the intervention. However more nuanced analysis showed that the intervention worked differently for children with different risk-profiles depending on contextual factors.  相似文献
