SHAUNA MC GILL 《Support for Learning》2011,26(1):4-12

This research is designed to provide information for participants, facilitators and policy makers in the area of Extended Schools. Its salient purpose is to investigate and examine the feelings, beliefs and attitudes of teachers and parents involved in the development of the Extended Schools project in Northern Ireland. The Extended Schools project was formally launched by the Northern Ireland Secretary of State on 7 March 2006, and aims to provide a wide range of services and activities in school with the intention of helping to meet the needs of children, their families and the wider community. The qualitative approach was deemed the most appropriate methodology for gathering data.  相似文献   

Bad boys,good girls? Implicit and explicit attitudes toward ethnic minority students among elementary and secondary school teachers     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2017

Teachers’ attitudes toward ethnic minority students might differ by students’ gender and the type of school teachers are working in because of different motivations for teaching and different school practices. Hence, the aim of the current research was to investigate elementary (n = 82) and secondary school (n = 82) teachers’ implicit and explicit attitudes toward male and female ethnic minority students. Teachers worked on either a male or a female Implicit Association Test and filled out a gender-specific questionnaire for measuring explicit attitudes. The results showed that elementary and secondary school teachers had negative implicit attitudes toward ethnic minority students, independent of students’ gender. Whereas secondary school teachers were implicitly more positive toward boys, elementary school teachers were implicitly more positive toward girls. Elementary school teachers were more enthusiastic about teaching ethnic minority boys than girls. The findings provide the first insights into differences in attitudes between elementary and secondary school teachers.  相似文献   

Adolescents’ autonomous functioning and implicit theories of ability as predictors of their school achievement and week-to-week study regulation and well-being     

《Contemporary educational psychology》2017

Research on students’ motivation has mainly focused on interpersonal differences rather than on the ongoing, intrapersonal dynamics that forge students’ everyday life. In this five-month longitudinal (diary) study, we recruited a sample of 179 high school students from Greece (35.8% males; M_age = 16.27; SD = 1.02) to investigate through multilevel analyses the ongoing dynamics of students’ motivation. We did so by examining the relation between autonomous functioning and aspects of study regulation (namely, study efforts and procrastination) and well-being (namely, subjective vitality and depressive feelings). After controlling for perceived competence, we found week-to-week autonomous functioning to relate positively to study efforts and subjective vitality and negatively to procrastination and depressive feelings. Interestingly, implicit theories of ability - the degree to which one believes that ability is fixed or amenable - were found to moderate the week-to-week relations of autonomous functioning to study efforts and homework procrastination. In particular, autonomous functioning co-varied positively to study efforts and negatively to homework procrastination only among students who believed that ability is malleable. Also, beliefs that ability is fixed predicted poorer grades, lower mean levels of study efforts, and higher homework procrastination. The results underscore the necessity of taking a more dynamic view when studying motivational phenomena and the importance of jointly considering the implicit theory framework and self-determination theory.  相似文献

刘同彪  蔡克骄 《温州大学学报(社会科学版)》2006,19(2):7-13

明代温州人姜准撰写的《岐海琐谈》,记载了大量宋元明时期的温州民间信仰资料,其内容涵盖神灵信仰、鬼怪信仰和巫卜类信仰三类,是研究温州地区民间信仰的重要文献。时过境迁,但《岐海琐谈》中所记载的许多民间信仰依然广泛存在于现代化的温州社会中,传统的民间信仰发挥着现代化社会所必需的某些社会功能,传统民间信仰的衰萎也将是一个相当长的历史过程。  相似文献   

Teacher and school characteristics and their influence on curriculum implementation     

Gillian H. Roehrig  Rebecca A. Kruse  Anne Kern 《科学教学研究杂志》2007,44(7):883-907

Reform‐based curriculum materials have been suggested as a mechanism to make inquiry‐based instruction more prevalent in secondary science classrooms, specifically when accompanied by comprehensive professional development (Loucks‐Horsley, Hewson, Love, & Stiles, 1998 ; Powell & Anderson, 2002 ). This research examines the implementation of a reform‐based high school chemistry curriculum in a large, urban school district. We explicitly consider the role of the teachers' knowledge and beliefs in their implementation of the reform‐based chemistry curriculum, as well as school level factors. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected in the form of beliefs interviews and classroom observations from 27 high school chemistry teachers. Analysis of the data revealed that implementation of the curriculum was strongly influenced by the teachers' beliefs about teaching and learning, and the presence of a supportive network at their school sites. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Teachers’ perceptions and concerns about the implementation of the 2005 preschool curriculum in Tanzania     

Ignasia Renatus Mligo 《Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development》2016,36(4):353-367

The aim of this study was to examine teachers’ perceptions and concerns about the implementation of the preschool curriculum developed over 10 years (2005–2015). This paper reports findings from an interpretive case study design in four preschool settings in Tanzania with 12 teachers and 8 parent participants. Data were generated using interviews and documentation. The research focus was on how teachers have implemented the 2005 preschool curriculum. The findings indicate that the implementation of the curriculum was problematic due to teachers’ lack of knowledge of a child-centred pedagogy. In addition there were no teachers qualified to work with young children, overcrowded classrooms, poor teaching and learning environments, and insufficient teaching and learning materials and facilities. This study recommends that to improve the current situation and attain quality provision of early education, teachers need to develop their professional knowledge through in-service training. The government policy planners need to provide initial teacher education, professional development, and conducive teaching and learning environments with available resources for effective teaching and learning practices.  相似文献   

Trainee teachers' conceptions of teaching and learning,classroom layout and exam design     

Fernando Dome´nech Betoret 《Educational studies》2004,30(4):355-372

The objective of this study centres on identifying and classifying the conceptions of teaching and learning held by future secondary school teachers, and on analysing the relationship between these conceptions and the way classroom space is organized and exams are designed. The test instruments used were applied to a sample of 138 graduates, who were all following the Pedagogical Aptitude Course (CAP) during the academic year 2002/03. Results show that the more traditional teaching/learning models are related to a more vertical classroom layout. Significant correlations between beliefs and exam demands were also found.  相似文献   

民间信仰与社会主义新农村建设——以皖北地区为中心     

梁家贵 《安徽师范大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2007,35(3):340-344

皖北地区民间信仰的产生和发展与历史上自然灾害频发、战争不断和土匪猖獗等因素有直接关系，种类多、影响大，具有道德教化、精神维系和社会整合等正面功能。当代皖北地区民间信仰具有坛庙大部分修复或保留下来、庙会以商品交换为主、功利性较强和封建迷信色彩较浓等特点。社会主义新农村建设需要正确认识和处理民间信仰引发的社会问题。  相似文献
