In this study, the researchers examined 5 years of Texas statewide data concerning elementary school size and Hispanic student
performance on three state-mandated assessments in reading, mathematics, and writing. For each year of data analyzed here,
student data from more than 1,200 elementary schools. After collapsing elementary schools into three sizes (i.e., very small
<400 students; small 400–799 students; and large 800–1,199 students), multivariate statistical procedures revealed the presence
of statistically significant differences in Hispanic student performance in reading, mathematics, and writing across all 5 years
of data analyzed. In almost every analysis, Hispanic students in large elementary schools outperformed Hispanic students in
very small elementary schools in reading, mathematics, and in writing. As such, our findings are in disagreement with other
studies. Implications are discussed. 相似文献

While the term ‘learner‐centered’ is invoked in many curriculum standards documents, packaged curriculum materials, mission statements and criticisms of educational practice, there is little agreement on its meaning. Shallow understandings and conflicting practices abound. And rarely do the meanings ascribed to the term take into account the meanings of thoughtful teachers who live learner‐centered approaches daily in their work. Here we introduce lived meanings of learner‐centeredness found in the personal and professional histories of experienced teachers. Data were gathered in interviews that took the form of focused conversations which yielded elaborated stories and reflections that suggest that learner‐centeredness is a concept that cannot be captured in finite, static, unquestioned definitions. The teachers’ lived meanings are expressed in fine‐grained detail, are embedded in particular settings and the teachers’ own personal and professional histories, go beyond surface features of practice and are in motion and unfinished. Taken together, these lived meanings have the potential to challenge and deepen current understandings of learner‐centered practices. Further, they have the potential to bring humanity, humility and integrity to the work of those who engage in these practices and of those who would support or criticize them. 相似文献

Typical university‐wide course evaluations do not provide instructors with sufficient information on the effectiveness of their courses. This article describes a course assessment and enhancement model where student feedback can be used to improve courses and/or programs. The model employs an assessment tool that measures student perceptions of importance and their current competence in course‐specific learning objectives both pre‐ and post‐course. Information gained from this assessment enables course improvement over time and also allows for modification in delivery and/or content of the current course. This model is intended to augment traditional course evaluation mechanisms based on specific and actionable feedback on learning objectives. 相似文献

Prepracticum service‐learning is an integral part of the curriculum for counselor education students at a large southwestern university. Service‐learning is accomplished by placing novice students in school or community agency settings to acquire early, practical, field‐based experience. Activities are more structured and supervised than in an internship or practicum. Analysis indicated that prepracticum service‐learning had a positive significant relationship with counselor self‐efficacy and a significant negative relationship with student anxiety. However, substantial counseling course work and experience with counseling‐related work both had a stronger influence than did prepracticum service‐learning, indicating that the latter is more appropriate for novice students. 相似文献

In this paper I discuss my experience in using the inverted classroom structure to teach a proof-based, upper level Advanced Calculus course. The structure of the inverted classroom model allows students to begin learning the new mathematics prior to the class meeting. By front-loading learning of new concepts, students can use valuable class time for exploring and solving complex problems, with the instructor available for guidance and assistance. This paper compares student performance in the inverted classroom with student performance in the direct instruction classroom. I also share student perceptions of the inverted classroom experience. 相似文献

HealthWeb is a selective Internet resource that links users to annotated, evaluated Internet resources in the health sciences. A collaborative effort of librarians from more than twenty academic institutions, it is a valuable tool for librarians at the Reference Desk and during instruction sessions. Contents of the Reference Resources section are highlighted, as well as an example of use of the Nursing page during a typical class. 相似文献
