The emergence of the quantified child     

Rebecca Smith 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2017,38(5):701-712

Using document analysis, this paper examines the historical emergence of the quantified child, revealing how the collection and use of data has become normalized through legitimizing discourses. First, following in the traditions of Foucault's genealogy and studies examining the sociology of numbers, this paper traces the evolution of data collection in a range of significant education policy documents. Second, a word count analysis was used to further substantiate the claim that data collection and use has been increasingly normalized through legitimizing discourses and routine actions in educational settings. These analyses provide evidence that the need to quantify educational practices has been justified over long periods of time through a variety of documents and that the extent to which data governs educators’ thoughts, discourses, and actions has dramatically increased during the past century.  相似文献

Rediscovering the political dimension of the personal life story: results from an intergenerational narrative learning project with older adults in South Westphalia     

Joachim Broecher  Joyce H. Davis  Janet F. Painter 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2017,36(4):471-485

Using qualitative interviews, focus groups, storytelling and collective journaling, the life experiences of people in a local village community, in South Westphalia, Germany, born between 1930 and 1945, were analysed collaboratively. The research intention was to give the younger generations in that region access to these experiences and insights, within the context of democratic learning and civic education. The focus of this narrative learning project was on the politically relevant issues and themes they contained, above all: the significance of free information and thought, a free cultural life, access to education for all children and youth, a self-determined life for women and girls, as well as cohesion and self-help structures in the social community. Many tales were shared from the Third Reich, making references to Wilhelmine Germany and the Republic of Weimar, including how these times had been narrated to them through their forebearers and families’ archives.  相似文献

三国东吴政权能够长存的原因探讨     

李程 《蒙自师范高等专科学校学报》2007,5(3):17-20

孙权的东吴政权在三国鼎足而立达六十年之久,表现出顽强的生命力。其主要原因有:孙坚、孙策奠定的创业基础;孙权杰出的政治才能;周瑜、鲁肃、陆逊、吕蒙等英才的鼎立相助;灵活有效的外交政策;长江天险的天然屏障等。孙吴充分利用了各种有利因素,国小而长存,值得我们深思。  相似文献

Influencing the Probability for Graduation at Four-Year Institutions: A Multi-Model Analysis     

Kristina M. Cragg 《Research in higher education》2009,50(4):394-413

The purpose of this study is to identify student and institutional characteristics that influence the probability for graduation. The study delves further into the probability for graduation by examining how far the student deviates from the institutional mean with respect to academics and affordability; this concept is referred to as the “match.” The validity of the matching model is tested using a multivariate analysis with select variables from the Beginning Postsecondary Study: 1996/2001 (BPS:96/01) and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Traditional multivariate models examine the importance of both student and institutional characteristics but assume the two are independent of one another. This study is different in that it uses the matching model to examine the relationship between student and institutional characteristics. The results are compared to more frequently used models and show that the relationship between students and their institutions plays an important role in understanding the probability for graduation.

Using Consulting for Teaching Elementary Statistics     

John Truran  Anne Arnold 《Teaching Statistics》2002,24(2):46-50

Consulting in statistics is usually deferred until at least near the end of a first degree, but this article shows how some aspects can be effectively taught to students in upper secondary or early tertiary courses in a way which reinforces their learning of standard basic concepts. We suggest that the existence of a real client adds a degree of realism not available in other ways, and emphasizes to students the importance of blending statistical calculations with meaningful communication.  相似文献
