Exploring the effects of personality type on perceived satisfaction with web-based learning in continuing professional development     

Heather Kanuka  Norma Nocente 《Distance Education》2003,24(2):227-244

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between learner personality types and perceived satisfaction when using Web-based instruction for mandatory and self-regulated continuing professional development. Two hundred and four real estate practitioners who participated in a Web-based professional development course completed the Millon Index of Personality Styles (MIPS) instrument and a survey to compare personality type and satisfaction. No relationship was found between personality types and satisfaction when using Web-based instruction. The majority (97%) of participants were satisfied with the course regardless of their personality characteristics.  相似文献   

A success story: A large urban district offers a working model for implementing multisensory teaching into the resource and regular classroom     

Lenox Hutcheson  Harry Selig  Norma Young 《Annals of dyslexia》1990,40(1):77-96

A large urban school district contracted with a private nonprofit educational foundation to train 126 special education resource teachers in the last three years in an Orton-Gillingham-based program. These teachers are currently teaching learning-disabled students in groups of 8–10 at the elementary level and 10–13 students at the secondary level. Learning-disabled students who qualify for Special Education, either in reading or spelling, or both, are receiving the instruction. The teachers took a Basic Introductory Class (90 hours of Advanced Academic Credit offered by the Texas Education Agency, or six hours of graduate credit at a local university) in order to teach the program in the resource setting. A two year Advanced Training included annual on-site observations, two half-day workshops each fall and spring, and a two-day advanced workshop in the second summer. First grade teachers, one selected from each of the 164 campuses, supervisors, and principals attended a 25-hour course on “Recognizing Dyslexia: Using Multisensory Teaching and Discovery Techniques.” The first grade teachers and special education resource teachers collaborated to provide inservice training for their colleagues. Research, conducted by the district’s Research Department, reveals statistically significant gains in reading and spelling ability for the learning-disabled resource students as measured by the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-Revised, and the Test of Written Spelling.  相似文献   

DEVELOPING AND USING INTERDISCIPLINARY CASE STUDIES IN TEACHING GERIATRICS TO PRACTICING HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS     

Norma J. Owens  Cynthia A. Padula  Anne L. Hume 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(6):473-489

Continuing education programs for health care professionals who practice in geriatrics are an important part of improving the health care provided to older adults. Programs utilizing active forms of learning that mimic the clinical environment are more successful at changing the behavior of health care professionals than traditional didactic styles of teaching. Problem-based learning methods allow learners to identify their own areas of strength and weakness and to work toward improvement in a manner best suited to their needs. This article describes an interdisciplinary team of educator-clinicians in geriatrics who developed clinical case studies embodying these approaches as one method of improving the learning process for adult health care providers. An actual sample case study is presented as an illustration of the principles embodied in this process. Lessons learned from the development and use of these case studies are summarized in the context of improving the quality of continuing education programs for health care professionals in geriatric practice.  相似文献

Considerations for the use of functional principal components analysis in sports biomechanics: examples from on-water rowing     

John Warmenhoven  Stephen Cobley  Conny Draper  Andrew Harrison  Norma Bargary  Richard Smith 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2019,18(3):317-341

The proliferation of new biomechanical technology in laboratory and field settings facilitates the capture of data-sets consisting of complex time-series. An understanding of the appropriate statistical approaches for analysing and interpreting these data-sets is required and the functional data analysis (FDA) family of statistical techniques has emerged in the biomechanical literature. Given the use of FDA is currently in its infancy with biomechanical data, this paper will form the first of a two part series aiming to address practical issues surrounding the application of FDA techniques in biomechanics. This work focuses on functional principal components analysis (fPCA), which is explored using existing literature and sample data from an on-water rowing database. In particular methodological considerations for the implementation of fPCA such as temporal normalisation of data, removal of unwanted forms of variation in a data-set and documented methods for preserving the original temporal properties within a set of curves are explored in detail as a part of this review. Limitations and strengths of the technique are outlined and recommendations are provided to encourage the appropriate use of fPCA within the field of applied sports biomechanics.  相似文献   

对高校《世界地理》教材中澳大利亚地理环境结构特征的不同看法     

马堃 《山西大学师范学院学报》2008,(6):166-167

澳大利亚仅仅是降水量的分布由北、东、南三面沿海向内陆逐渐减少,呈半环状分布图式。在降水量呈半环状分布的特征影响下,从北、东、南三面沿海向内陆植被由森林逐渐变为草原,再变为荒漠。但是由此得出,气候类型和自然带的分布也有类似的图式,“地理环境呈半环状结构”是不妥当的。澳大利亚的气候类型、植被和自然带的分布,都表现出明显的纬向地带性特征,都是与一定的纬度位置、海陆位置密切相联系的。这样理解既有利于掌握全球地理环境分布的规律性,也有利于突出区域地理环境的特征。  相似文献   

School mathematics in culture-conflict situations     

Norma C. Presmeg 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》1988,19(2):163-177

In times of cultural change, education plays an especially important role. The writer suggests that even mathematics curricula, which have traditionally been considered culture-free, have a role to play in fostering mutual understanding amongst members of different cultures, after a period of cultural upheaval. Anthropological and educational sources are used to suggest points of relevance when a mathematical curriculum is designed for multi-cultural classrooms.The substance of this paper is the same as that in an article written for the journal,Cultural Dynamics.  相似文献
