Motivation beliefs of secondary school teachers in Canada and Singapore: A mixed methods study   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Robert M. Klassen  Wan Har Chong  Vivien S. Huan  Isabella Wong  Allison Kates  Wanwisa Hannok 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2008

A mixed methods approach was used to explore secondary teachers’ motivation beliefs in Canada and Singapore. Results from Study 1 revealed that socio-economic status (SES) was the strongest predictor of school climate in Canada, and that collective efficacy mediated the effect of SES on school climate in Singapore, but not in Canada. In Study 2, interviews were conducted with 10 teachers in Canada and 14 teachers in Singapore. Teachers in both settings discussed students’ social and behavior problems, but the range of the social problems was greater in Canada than in Singapore, and had a stronger impact on teachers’ motivation beliefs.  相似文献

2011年加拿大联邦大选对魁北克问题的影响     

王建波 《临沂师范学院学报》2011,(5):56-61

加拿大第41届联邦大选,魁北克人团惨败,魁北克人党因此也面临危机和困境,这意味着魁北克分离主义的势力和影响受到实质性的削弱,魁北克问题的演进因此呈现积极的迹象。但是,魁北克人党在魁北克依然保持较高的支持率,并承诺举行第三次全民公决;加拿大联邦层面和魁北克省也存在对魁北克分离主义的助推因素：魁北克人对哈珀保守党多数联邦政府更加疏离甚至敌视。这表明魁北克问题对加拿大国家政治稳定与和谐的潜在挑战和冲击依然存在。  相似文献   

试论加拿大的工业化——兼论工业化道路的比较研究     

张献华 《楚雄师范学院学报》2011,26(5):74-78

加拿大的工业化道路,经历了从农商社会到工业化社会的转变,经历了殖民地时的前工业化时期、初级阶段、起飞时期,而后步入成熟工业化国家。其工业化特征表现为:在大宗产品出口阶段,加拿大工业化的依附性特征明显;铁路运输和现代交通手段的"引擎"作用;政府强有力的"国家政策"的扶持;借助美国的经济优势。加拿大的工业化道路既具有普遍性又具有符合本国情况的特殊性,值得进一步深入研究。  相似文献   

‘Putting on band-aids’: the contradictory roles and ‘small wins’ of tempered campus radicals     

Marni Westerman  Laura Huey 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2012,33(2):223-234

Nancy Fraser's propositions regarding the nature of ‘boundary’ work carried out by experts within organizations suggests that individuals who work within bureaucratic structures are so constrained by the institutional context that they become detached, depoliticizing arbitrators of politicized claims. The purpose of the research reported in this article is to examine the assertion that workers in boundary roles necessarily engage only in work that depoliticizes the claims of oppositional social groups. By exploring the work of anti-harassment practitioners at Canadian universities, we uncover moments of both constraint and liberation in the practitioners’ work roles. Attending to the complexities of boundary role work illustrates that struggles over the definition of needs and claims made by marginalized social groups are not closed, nor are boundary workers completely co-opted by bureaucratic institutional prerogatives. Although variously constrained, interviews with practitioners reveal that their work can support counter-hegemonic challenges to the status quo.  相似文献

All Together Now: Planning for Shared Print Archiving at Canada's Western Universities     

《资料收集管理》2012,37(3-4):260-270

The Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries is a consortium of twenty-two university libraries in western Canada. Planning for a regional shared print archive has included the formation of several task groups, the engagement of a project consultant, and local development of a holdings registry tool. The original impetus for the project was to clear maximum shelf space at member libraries quickly. The planning challenge that has emerged is to design a project that meets this short-term regional need for repurposed space in member libraries, while building in scalability to address a broader preservation mandate, and that allows linking to related initiatives in other jurisdictions.  相似文献   

The Challenges and Opportunities of Sustaining Volunteer-Based Rural Libraries     

《Public Library Quarterly》2012,31(4):410-427

ABSTRACT

In an era of rural service decline and population aging, some rural libraries rely on volunteers to keep them open within the community. This paper outlines the challenges of sustaining such volunteer-based rural libraries, drawing on a case study of a volunteer-based library in rural Ontario, Canada. Findings suggest that age of volunteers, volunteer participation, territoriality, branch polarization and the burden of volunteering present challenges in sustaining the volunteer program at the library, yet the library contributes to the community through community engagement, enabling aging in place and through economic development. The paper concludes with recommendations from the case study on how the sustain such a volunteer program.  相似文献

加拿大有其独特的法律制度体系。从体育立法的历史沿革看，1961年制定的《健康与业余体育法》以及2003年修订的《身体锻炼与竞技运动法》，对鼓励、促进和发展身体锻炼和竞技运动起到积极作用。体育法的渊源主要包括判例法和制定法，此外，加拿大其他的许多法律法规中也对涉及体育的有关问题作出明确规定，促进了加拿大体育法体系的进一步完善。  相似文献
