This article reports on a faculty development model that uses a variety of approaches and strategies to help faculty restructure their curricula and effectively model technology integration for their students. A multifaceted model, funded in part by the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) initiative, was implemented at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The model included training, technical and collegial support, access, and incentives. Questionnaires and qualitative data indicated substantive changes in faculty expectations and assumptions regarding technology as well as increases in faculty and student technology skills and the degree to which faculty members integrate technology into their curricula. The model helped to facilitate the collaborative efforts of a cadre of faculty to model and integrate technology throughout their teacher preparation programs. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a professional learning program on the emergent literacy skills of preschool children. Building Blocks for Literacy® is a program consisting of training supported by mentoring designed to teach early childcare providers how to promote the development of early literacy skills. A previous investigation found positive effects of the program on the pre-literacy skills of children in Vermont. The current study extended their work by replicating the training for Head Start teachers (n?=?27) in another state. Teachers were divided into three groups. One group received the training and live mentoring; a second group received training and distance mentoring; and a third group of teachers served as controls. The results indicate that children (n?=?97) served by teachers who received the training (n?=?18) made higher gains on a measure of early literacy skills than those children (n?=?36) served by control teachers. The gains made by children in the treatment groups were consistent for teachers who received either live or distance mentoring. Implications for practice are discussed. 相似文献

A competency profile for teachers of Computer Science in Cameroonian secondary education – In 1998, the Cameroonian government decided to introduce Computer Science as a school subject. To implement this decision, it began to train teachers of Computer Science according to the same training model used for teachers of other disciplines. Despite the consensus that seems to be emerging from the scientific community regarding the need to give priority to a cross-disciplinary use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in primary and secondary education, some countries, such as Cameroon, have opted to teach Computer Science. While such a political choice might in principle appear to be inappropriate for the development of students’ ICT skills, the article shows that it nevertheless introduces teachers into the system who have a predisposition to act as catalysts for the pedagogical integration of ICT. Such a development could occur provided these teachers are trained in a range of additional skills – those proposed in the article – which would enable them to contribute effectively. If this approach were implemented, sub-Saharan countries such as Cameroon would, in their Computer Science teachers, have access to human resources capable of quickly generalising the cross-disciplinary use of ICT in the education system. 相似文献

BackgroundInterest in impact evaluation has grown rapidly as research funders increasingly demand evidence that their investments lead to public benefits.AimsThis paper analyses literature to provide a new definition of research impact and impact evaluation, develops a typology of research impact evaluation designs, and proposes a methodological framework to guide evaluations of the significance and reach of impact that can be attributed to research.MethodAn adapted Grounded Theory Analysis of research impact evaluation frameworks drawn from cross-disciplinary peer-reviewed and grey literature.ResultsRecognizing the subjective nature of impacts as they are perceived by different groups in different times, places and cultures, we define research impact evaluation as the process of assessing the significance and reach of both positive and negative effects of research.Five types of impact evaluation design are identified encompassing a range of evaluation methods and approaches: i) experimental and statistical methods; ii) textual, oral and arts-based methods; iii) systems analysis methods; iv) indicator-based approaches; and v) evidence synthesis approaches.Our guidance enables impact evaluation design to be tailored to the aims and context of the evaluation, for example choosing a design to establish a body of research as a necessary (e.g. a significant contributing factor amongst many) or sufficient (e.g. sole, direct) cause of impact, and choosing the most appropriate evaluation design for the type of impact being evaluated.ConclusionUsing the proposed definitions, typology and methodological framework, researchers, funders and other stakeholders working across multiple disciplines can select a suitable evaluation design and methods to evidence the impact of research from any discipline. 相似文献

Climate change education often relies on climate science's mantra that climate change is human induced, not natural. In a posttruth world, this can seem unequivocally necessary. However, I worry that this perpetuates the human/nature dualism and may thus reiterate the very distinction we are seeking to transgress. In this article, I outline my efforts toward conceptualizing a climate pedagogy that doesn't presuppose and reinforce this anthropocentrism and representationalism, while working for informed climate response-ability. Working with Barad's concept of entanglement (2007) and atmospheric temperature as an example, I show that we are part of that climate we seek to understand. I contend that neither the human nor the atmosphere (and by extension, the climate) preexist their intra-action, but rather, that they are ontologically inseparable (entangled). Through material-discursive apparatuses such as (but not limited to) the practices of climate science, the climate and the human are contingently, agentially coconstituted. Climate as an entanglement thus accounts for how climate science works while foregrounding how climate, climate knowers, and climate knowledge co-emerge. Pedagogically, this moves us from knowing about climate—which implies a disconnected knower and a static world—to diverse, worldly practices of climating and becoming-climate. 相似文献

Perceptions and knowledge of preservice and inservice educators about early reading instruction 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

A major conclusion from research regarding children with poor reading performance is that early, systematic instruction in
phonological awareness and phonics improves early reading and spelling skills and results in a reduction of the number of
students who read below grade level. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and knowledge of presevice and
inservice educators about early reading instruction. The results indicated that these educators expressed positive attitudes
toward explicit and implicit code instruction, with inservice educators more positive about explicit code instruction than
preservice educators and preservice educators more positive about implicit code instruction. Preservice and inservice educators
demonstrated limited knowledge of phonological awareness or terminology related to language structure and phonics. Additionally,
they perceived themselves as only somewhat prepared to teach early reading to struggling readers. These findings indicate
a continuing mismatch between what educators believe and know and what convergent research supports as effective early reading
instruction for children at risk for reading difficulties. Implications support continuing efforts to inform and reform teacher
education.

U.S. legislation requires teachers to provide programs for children with CNS deficits, when many teachers are ill‐prepared for the special circumstances under which these children learn. This article seeks to help teachers working with children with cerebral palsy. 相似文献
