The new University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Library opened in June 1983, replacing the 1968 library building. Planning a new library building provides an opportunity for the staff to rethink their philosophy of service. Of paramount concern and importance is the need to convey this philosophy to the architects. This paper describes the planning process and the building's external features, interior layouts, and accommodations for technology. Details of the move to the building are considered and various aspects of the building are reviewed. 相似文献

A single science textbook often provides the syllabus for courses at upper secondary and tertiary levels, and may be used as a principal source of information or explanation. The research reported in this article challenges such practices. The ways in which the concept, acceleration, is treated in physics textbooks is compared with understandings of the concept demonstrated by final-year secondary (Year 12) and first-year university students. Some students' understandings are shown to be incomplete in ways that parallel misleading or inaccurate textbook treatments of the concept. In addition to misleading or inaccurate statements, the limitations of some textbook treatments of acceleration were found to include: lack of attempts to make explicit relationships with other concepts, failure to point out when it is appropriate to use particular definitions or that an alternative definition might be more appropriate in specific situations, inclusion of operational definitions without conceptual explanations, and a focus on quantitative treatments while overlooking the development of qualitative understanding. Two principal aspects that distinguished the ways in which the students understood acceleration were identified: (a) the relation between acceleration and velocity; and (b) the relation between acceleration and force(s). The results of the study have implications for teaching and, in particular, for the use of textbooks in teaching. These implications are discussed in the article. 相似文献

The number of Turkish citizens entering the U.S. for their studies is growing more rapidly than almost any other group. The
purpose of the current study was to investigate how acculturation factors affect psychological adaptation of Turkish students
in the U.S. One hundred and twenty-four Turkish students participated in the study. Regression analyses revealed that social
support and self-esteem were predictors of psychological adjustment. Implications suggest that Turkish students, as with other
international students as previous research has suggested, should have a strong network of both co-national students and other
social connections. 相似文献

Socio-economic status,cultural diversity and the aspirations of secondary students in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne,Australia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Using data from a recent survey of Australian secondary students, we find that those from higher socio-economic backgrounds
are more likely to aspire to attend university. The same can be said for students who do not speak English at home. We find
that students with an ethnic minority background are more likely to perceive higher levels of support from parents. However,
we find that all students believe they receive encouragement from their parents to do well at school (rather than discouragement
or disinterest), and that there is little difference in the level of importance placed on the views of parents between students
from English and non-English speaking background. While interest in university education is strong across all socio-economic
groups, particularly for students who do not speak English at home, there is a considerable gap between aspirations and enrolment
levels. We suggest that this ‘aspirations gap’ is larger for students from low socio-economic backgrounds. This analysis also
supports growing evidence that the postcode methodology for allocating socio-economic status to individuals is unreliable. 相似文献

Theory of mind and relational complexity 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
Cognitive complexity and control theory and relational complexity theory attribute developmental changes in theory of mind (TOM) to complexity. In 3 studies, 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds performed TOM tasks (false belief, appearance-reality), less complex connections (Level 1 perspective-taking) tasks, and transformations tasks (understanding the effects of location changes and colored filters) with content similar to TOM. There were also predictor tasks at binary-relational and ternary-relational complexity levels, with different content. Consistent with complexity theories: (a) connections and transformations were easier and mastered earlier than TOM; (b) predictor tasks accounted for more than 80% of age-related variance in TOM; and (c) ternary-relational items accounted for TOM variance, before and after controlling for age and binary-relational items. Prediction did not require hierarchically structured predictor tasks. 相似文献

The utility of teaching reading using rime-based readingstrategies with prereaders was examined. Two experiments are presentedthat studied the effects of a rime-based reading program with FirstNations prereaders; one experiment with Shuswap kindergartners andthe other with Heiltsuk Grade 1 children. Rhyming, phoneme identity,letter-sound knowledge, phonological working memory, First Nationslanguage speaking ability, and reading were measured. In the Shuswapgroup, the reading program increased the abilities that werespecifically taught, rhyming, initial phoneme identity, letter-sounds,and word reading by rime-analogy, compared to the control group.Children also developed abilities that were not specifically taught,final phoneme identity and reading by letter recoding, and could use therime-analogy strategy to read words with unfamiliar rime endings.Phonological working memory remained unchanged. The Heiltsuk childrengained in reading compared to a Grade 1 comparison group. Pretestletter-sound knowledge and rhyming were related to later reading butphoneme identity and First Nations language ability were not. Progressin phonological awareness and word reading can be enhanced in prereadersby adding experience with rime-based strategies to the readingprogram. 相似文献

This article examines the experience of 24 BSW students in a faculty-mentored undergraduate research experience (URE) over the course of 1 academic year. In particular, we sought to better understand students’ self-perceived sense of competency across 15 specific research skills. In addition, we examined the URE’s impact on students’ knowledge about and attitudes toward research, as well as anxiety levels about research. A cross-sectional pre- and posttest design utilized both quantitative (survey) and qualitative (focus group) methodologies. All of the students’ ratings of their 15 research skills improved over time; 3 were statistically significant. Students demonstrated the most gain in evidence-based practice, ability to use statistical software, and data entry and analysis. Both knowledge about and attitude toward research improved significantly. Anxiety levels were surprisingly low. The importance of faculty mentoring is discussed, and suggestions for future research are provided. 相似文献
