This article examines and critiques the leadership capacity of department leaders in a high school and attempts to gain a deeper understanding of how department leaders perceive their role as teacher leaders, making a distinction between what an individual department leader does in his or her position and teacher leadership as a form of continuous learning and innovation through collaboration. How do department leaders practice leadership to improve student learning? The author provides an investigation and analysis of the current level of leadership capacity exhibited by department leaders in a high school. A close look at the role and function of department leaders in this high school reveals an absence of the teacher leadership necessary to promote the broad-based leadership capacity that results in improved student achievement.  相似文献   

Cultural Competence Training for Healthcare Professionals Working with LGBT Older Adults     

Tracey Gendron  Stu Maddux  Lisa Krinsky  Jay White  Kelly Lockeman  Yohvane Metcalfe 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(6):454-463

The population of the aging lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is significant and growing rapidly. As LGBT individuals age and begin to move into healthcare communities, they are fearful of apathy, discrimination, and abuse by healthcare providers and other residents. Person-centered cultural competence and sensitivity among service providers is necessary in order for LGBT individuals to share the same quality of life as other members of the aging community. Programming developed to educate healthcare professionals and aging-services providers on issues related to aging as an LGBT adult must be thoughtfully evaluated to show both efficacy and impact.  相似文献   

Design and development research: a model validation case     

Monica W. Tracey 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2009,57(4):553-571

This is a report of one case of a design and development research study that aimed to validate an overlay instructional design model incorporating the theory of multiple intelligences into instructional systems design. After design and expert review model validation, The Multiple Intelligence (MI) Design Model, used with an Instructional Systems Design (ISD) Model, was tested for use by four practicing instructional designers. Instruction developed for learners using this model was then evaluated measuring post-test and attitudinal scores with 102 participants. This report also provides a reflection on the lessons learned in conducting design and development research on model validation. The procedures and findings have implications for the processes involved in instructional design model validation through designer use and program implementation.

Physical Activity in Former Competitive Athletes: The Physical and Psychological Impact of Musculoskeletal Injury     

Hayley C. Russell  Jill Tracey  Diane M. Wiese-Bjornstal  Evan Canzi 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2018,70(3):304-320

Although competitive athletes exceed recommendations for physical activity while they are competing in sport, this does not necessarily translate into regular physical activity after retirement from sport. Research suggested the nature of competitive sport participation may not be conducive to lifelong physical activity. We propose one element of competitive sport participation that may impede physical activity post-retirement is injury. We propose that Vela and Denegar’s model of transient disablement in the physically active with musculoskeletal injuries (DPA) may be appropriate to examine the long-term consequences of sport-related injury—particularly with respect to physical activity disablement. Based on our review of literature, we propose the physical and psychological effects of injuries in sports present unique long-term barriers to physical activity in former competitive athletes. Future research could use the DPA as a foundation for assessing the long-term implications of sport-related injuries—particularly with respect to physical activity.  相似文献

EAST: Developing an electronic assessment and storage tool   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

Katherine I. Edwards  Eugenia Fernandez  Tracey M. Milionis  David M. Williamson 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2002,27(1):95-104

Assessment is an ongoing process that evaluates samples of completed student assignments to determine whether the underlying curriculum effectively produces the desired learning outcomes. Each year, the current system of tracking and storing artefacts for assessment becomes increasingly difficult. Compiling the results is a time-consuming process. EAST provides a cohesive web-based solution for managing assessment artefacts. EAST aids the assessment effort through the ability to easily store artefacts in electronic form, support and record the assessment of student work, and ease the development of reports. This paper discusses the analysis, development and features of EAST. The first section discusses the analysis phase of the project, highlighting the system objectives and the requirements of the EAST system. The second section details how the EAST system was developed and implemented. In the last section, features of the system are described and its contribution to the school's assessment effort is discussed.  相似文献   

Student experiences of assessment in two problem‐based dental curricula: Adelaide and Dublin     

Tracey Winning  Elaine Lim  Grant Townsend 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2005,30(5):489-505

Dental students in third (n?=?35) and fifth years (n?=?50) at Adelaide and Trinity College Dental Schools were surveyed about their experiences of assessment and their perceptions of the importance of particular aspects of assessment. Students reported on their assessment experience within their programmes by describing a critical assessment incident and their response to it, and also rated assessment purposes and features using a 5‐point Likert scale of relative importance. The students described a range of assessment methods, including group assignments, vivas, laboratory assessment, and problem‐based learning tutorials, but written examinations/tests and clinical assessment were discussed most frequently. Negative assessment experiences were commonly noted. The two most frequently raised issues were lack of congruence between student and staff perceptions of performance, and not receiving adequate feedback. There were no significant differences between years or schools in students’ ratings of the importance of assessment purposes. Overall, the students rated the provision of feedback on learning and motivation for learning as the most important purposes (>?80%). Patient‐based scenarios were rated as the most important method for judging students’ learning (>?90%), whilst group‐work tasks were rated of little importance. Overall, students rated clear requirements and feedback as the most important characteristics for positive assessment outcomes. Students’ ratings of assessment purposes, characteristics and methods closely matched the features of good assessment practice found in the literature. However, their assessment experiences indicate the need for review of assessment in both schools, particularly related to student–staff expectations of performance levels, and the provision of feedback.  相似文献   

Cognitive Style and GCSE Performance in Mathematics,English Language and French     

Richard Riding  Tracey Caine 《教育心理学》1993,13(1):59-67

A preliminary study was undertaken of cognitive style and performance in General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), the British public examination for pupils at 16 years. The positions of 182 pupils on two fundamental cognitive styles dimensions (Wholist‐Analytic and Verbal‐Imagery) were assessed by means of the Cognitive Styles Analysis (CSA). The pupils were from two comprehensive secondary schools and all took Mathematics, English Language and French in the GCSE administered by the Midland Examining Group (MEG) in 1991. Comparison of cognitive style and GCSE performance indicated that, for overall performance across the subjects, the pattern was a modified dome shape with the candidates who were intermediate on both dimensions of cognitive style doing best. There was a significant interaction between the styles of the candidates and the GCSE subjects in their effect on performance. The results were discussed in terms of the implications for GCSE and for further research.  相似文献   

“We Need to Come Together and Raise Our Kids and Our Communities Right”: Black Males Rewriting Social Representations     

Lois Weis  Michelle Fine  Tracey Shepherd  Kenny Foster 《The Urban Review》1999,31(2):125-152

This article excavates the voices of urban black males as they speak their name (Belton, 1996) in a society that denies them this right. Based on data gathered in a large-scale ethnographic interview study of urban America, the authors traverse the spoken lives of these men, as they weave stories about neighborhood and state violence, opportunities denied and missed, and the current power of black men's groups in the church. Through their day-to-day lives urban black men challenge social representations about them in racist America, constructing an alternative hegemonic masculinity revolving around relationships, fatherhood, and dignity.Professor of Sociology of Education at the State University of New York at BuffaloCompleted her Ph.D. at the State University of New York at Buffalo and is now a practicing psychologist at Claremont CollegesCurrent graduate student at CUNY  相似文献
