Some Learning Problems Concerning the Use of Symbolic Language in Physics     

De Lozano  Silvia Ragout  Cardenas  Marta 《Science & Education》2002,11(6):589-599

This paper aims to draw the attention of teachers of basic university physics courses towards students' problems concerning the interpretation of the symbolic language used in the discipline. Specific difficulties found in the first course of physics, related to different kinds of statements expressed in mathematical language, are pointed out and analysed, and some suggestions are made to cope with them during instruction. It could be concluded that teachers may need only to reflect and comment on the virtues of making explicit the semantic and syntactic aspects of formal languages as they teach physics.  相似文献

Reading prosody development in Spanish children     

Marta Álvarez-Cañizo  Paz Suárez-Coalla  Fernando Cuetos 《Reading and writing》2018,31(1):35-52

Reading prosody is considered one of the essential markers of reading fluency, alongside accuracy and speed. The aim of our study was to investigate how development of reading prosody in Spanish children varies with sentence type and length. We compared primary school children from the third and fifth grades with an adult sample. Participants were recorded reading aloud a narrative text including short and long declarative, exclamatory and interrogative sentences. Recordings were analysed using Praat software to measure several prosodic features (i.e., pauses, duration, pitch and intensity). We found that third-grade children had not yet developed an adult-like prosody: they made more pauses, had a flatter melodic contour and had difficulty anticipating sentence structure. Fifth-graders displayed some features of adult prosody. Both length and type of sentence influenced the expressiveness of reading in the three groups. We conclude that reading expressiveness is closely related to reading experience and develops in a similar way to decoding and reading speed.  相似文献

Evaluating Environmental Education Programmes: Some issues and problems     

Marta Rovira 《Environmental Education Research》2000,6(2):143-155

This article presents the evaluation of a local government programme on environmental education (Programa Integral d'Educació Ambiental de Cornellà PIDEAC—Global Environmental Education Programme of Cornellà) in Catalonia. The programme aimed to change the habits of the local population. The evaluation has deployed quantitative and qualitative techniques in order to find out if that objective had been fulfilled. Its results show that the common understanding of environmental education has actually changed in the local population, although in a different sense than expected. The relationship of several social groups toward environmental issues should be taken into account to explain these results.  相似文献   

Desaturation Patterns Detected by Oximetry in a Large Population of Athletes     

Raul P. Garrido-Chamorro  Marta González-Lorenzo  Jose Sirvent-Belando  Cristina Blasco-Lafarga  Enrique Roche 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(2):241-248

Optimal exercise performance in well trained athletes can be affected by arterial oxygen saturation failure. Noninvasive detection of this phenomenon when performing a routine ergometric test can be a valuable tool for subsequent planning of the athlete's training, recovery, and nutrition. Oximetry has been used to this end. The authors studied 339 athletes performing a similar exercise trial under well controlled environmental conditions. Maximum speed, oxygen uptake, and heart rate levels were simultaneously measured. From the obtained data, six patterns were found: (a) athletes in whom oxygen saturation is constant (≥ 95%) during test execution; (b) athletes displaying a progressive desaturation with incremental exercise intensities; (c) athletes presenting a transient desaturation in the anaerobic threshold region; (d) athletes starting with a mild-to-moderate desaturation at the beginning of the test, but reaching normal saturation values at the end; (e) athletes displaying mild-to-moderate desaturation levels throughout the whole test; and (f) athletes displaying a transient desaturation in the anaerobic threshold region and a new desaturation at the end of the test. In conclusion, it is believed that establishment of desaturation patterns by validated oximetry could be a first approach to evaluate the adaptation of the cardiorespiratory system to exercise intensity, helping to improve results.  相似文献   

Counterstories of college persistence by undocumented Mexicana students: navigating race,class, gender,and legal status     

Susana María Muñoz  Marta María Maldonado 《International journal of qualitative studies in education》2013,26(3):293-315

This paper draws from four sets of four in‐depth interviews and one subsequent focus group to examine how undocumented Mexicana students navigate identities and the meanings of race, gender, class, and legal status. We mobilize a critical race theory framework to center and explore the content of students’ counterstories. While majoritarian stories perpetuate stereotypical narratives that portray communities of color as culturally deficient, counterstorytelling creates a space for exposing and resisting hegemonic narratives in the home, community, and college settings. We argue that, through counterstories, Mexicana students are able to develop a positive self‐image that allows them to hang on to their academic aspirations, to persist in college, and to envision and pursue the possibility of success. We look at how undocumented Mexicana students’ narratives also reproduce and/or reinscribe elements of oppressive discourses of race, class, and gender in the contemporary USA. We consider some implications of our discussion of counterstories for educational theory and policy.  相似文献   

A critical review of education support practices in Spain     

Marta Sandoval Mena  Cecilia Simón Rueda  Gerardo Echeita Sarrionandia 《欧洲特需教育杂志》2013,28(4):441-454

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is to analyse different models of educational support that are used in schools with public funding from the perspective of support teachers, counsellors and members of management teams. Participants were 79 professionals from the three areas mentioned above. The methodological approach was a phenomenological qualitative one using focus groups and subsequent qualitative analysis of the data. The systems of categories and subcategories underwent a progressive process of triangulation. The results show that professionals identify support practices that can be divided into two differentiated models: a traditional model linked to a medical perspective of providing personal support to the most vulnerable students and a support model consistent with inclusive education. There are also discrepancies among professionals, especially about the need for support to be provided within the reference classroom. The discussion focuses on identifying essential aspects, to more effectively support students and teachers in an ordinary school context. In addition, professionals question the regulations for their disconnection from the reality they experience in schools. All this requires a rethinking of the functions of support teachers supported by careful initial and ongoing training.  相似文献
