Reconsidering the Character and Role of Inquiry in School Science: Analysis of a Conference   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

Richard Grandy  Richard A. Duschl 《Science & Education》2007,16(2):141-166

We summarize a conference on scientific inquiry bringing together science educators, cognitive scientists and philosophers of science with three goals:

1.	to establish how much consensus exists about scientific inquiry,
2.	to discuss implications of that consensus for teaching science,
3.	to identify areas where consensus is lacking to establish where further research and discussion would be most valuable.

冷热环境变化对人体生理机能的影响   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

桑俊林  佟毅 《武汉体育学院学报》2004,38(4):58-60,63

对7名男游泳运动员和7名非游泳运动员在桑拿浴和冷水浴时生理和内分泌参数指标进行了测试。实验结果显示：两组人员的生理和荷尔蒙反应都很明显；非游泳运动员浸冷水5min和10min时，心率有明显提高；两组人员的血浆淋巴管紧缩素的高血压蛋白酶在桑拿后有明显提高，而冷水浴后却下降。非游泳运动员在桑拿、冷水浴后，自然免疫细胞比例下降比较明显。两组人员实验后心率、体温和血压都升高，但游泳运动员对冷热环境的适应能力远高于非游泳运动员。  相似文献   

Qualitative Outcomes of a Homestay Immersion With Critical Reflection     

Laura Shannonhouse  Sejal Barden  A. Keith Mobley 《Counselor Education & Supervision》2015,54(4):302-319

The authors explore the impact of a 3‐week homestay cultural immersion on 10 counselor trainees by analyzing their 210 structured journals using consensual qualitative research. Findings suggest that establishing meaningful relationships and engaging in critical reflection are central to increasing multicultural awareness. Implications for multicultural counseling training and research are provided.  相似文献   

Learner subjects in study abroad: discourse of immersion,hierarchy of experience and their subversion through situated learning     

Neriko Musha Doerr 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2015,36(3):369-382

This article investigates different kinds of learner subjects that study-abroad programs produce. It is based on discourse analysis and ethnographic fieldwork in May–September 2011, involving three students from a US college studying abroad short term in Europe. The discourse of immersion in study abroad valorizes a learning-by-doing, individual, reflective learner subject who learns alone by gaining everyday experience outside the classroom and by reflecting on it. Some students subverted this discourse and became group and classroom-based learner subjects; nonetheless, they all became reflective learner subjects. This article proposes critical analysis of the discourse and links that reflectivity to critical pedagogy.  相似文献   

Current Situation of Preschool Immersion Programs in China     

李林蔚 《海外英语》2014,(9):278-280

English Immersion programs in China have become a popular choice among parents for their children since the introduction of the Canadian model to the Chinese school system in 1997.English Immersion programs in China differ from traditional English instruction because in such programs content-based language programs are designed to immerse Chinese students in English and promote their communicative skills.From the perspective of Education and Applied Linguistics,this essay tries to study the idea and practice of English Immersion programs in China on preschool children in the perspective of the conception,theoretical foundation,foreseeable problems,etc.,in order to make a thorough inquiry of their feasibility.  相似文献   

Development of German reading comprehension in two-way immersive primary schools     

《Learning and Instruction》2022

Two-way immersion (TWI) is a variant of the increasingly popular bilingual instruction. Most TWI research lacks longitudinal data or the consideration of background variables to control for possible selection effects. This article examines the development of German reading comprehension of TWI students (N = 984) from fourth to sixth grade compared to conventionally taught students (N = 992). The latent growth curve models showed that immersion students reached the same level of German reading comprehension over the three measurement points, even if background variables like first language, socioeconomic background, and cognitive ability were included. Despite reduced instruction in German, TWI students showed the same reading comprehension level as students in regular instruction while having the advantage of learning an additional language. Although the level of reading comprehension differed between language groups (L1 German speakers, L1 partner language speakers, simultaneous bilinguals), the learning trajectories of reading comprehension were similar.  相似文献

The influence of water depth on kinematic and spatiotemporal gait parameters during aquatic treadmill walking     

Taeyou Jung  Yumi Kim  Hyosok Lim  Konstantinos Vrongistinos 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2019,18(3):297-307

The purpose of this study was to investigate kinematic and spatiotemporal variables of aquatic treadmill walking at three different water depths. A total of 15 healthy individuals completed three two-minute walking trials at three different water depths. The aquatic treadmill walking was conducted at waist-depth, chest-depth and neck-depth, while a customised 3-D underwater motion analysis system captured their walking. Each participant’s self-selected walking speed at the waist level was used as a reference speed, which was applied to the remaining two test conditions. A repeated measures ANOVA showed statistically significant differences among the three walking conditions in stride length, cadence, peak hip extension, hip range of motion (ROM), peak ankle plantar flexion and ankle ROM (All p values < 0.05). The participants walked with increased stride length and decreased cadence during neck level as compared to waist and chest level. They also showed increased ankle ROM and decreased hip ROM as the water depth rose from waist and chest to the neck level. However, our study found no significant difference between waist and chest level water in all variables. Hydrodynamics, such as buoyancy and drag force, in response to changes in water depths, can affect gait patterns during aquatic treadmill walking.  相似文献   

Readiness for school of children having attended language immersion kindergarten in their teachers' and parents' opinions     

Airi Kukk  Aino Ugaste 《International Journal of Early Years Education》2014,22(2):156-168

In multicultural societies, much attention is given to children's language learning possibilities. In Estonia, the early language immersion programme for kindergarten children was started in the year 2000. The programme, while considered to be successful, has raised the question of whether the children participating in it are adequately prepared for school. The objective of the present study is to observe the readiness for school of those children who have participated in the early language immersion programme, taking into consideration the objectives of the curriculum and their teachers' and parents' assessments. The method of this study was a questionnaire employed over a three-year period (2009–2011) involving the teachers and parents of those children who were beginning their primary school education. The results of the study revealed that, according to the assessments of their teachers and parents, the readiness for school of the children having completed the early language immersion programme was very good. Data prove that language immersion programmes provide children with enough preparation to make a smooth transition from kindergarten to school life.  相似文献   

Journalism in Disguise: Standpoint Theory and the Ethics of Günter Wallraff’s Undercover Immersion     

Willa McDonald 《Journalism Practice》2020,14(1):34-47

ABSTRACT

Deception is a key element of immersive undercover journalism, achieved through the omission of information, the perpetuation of misconceptions, or possibly the assumption of a false identity. Usually when proponents defend going undercover, they use the-ends-justify-the-means arguments; that despite the journalist’s duplicity, public benefit outweighs the dishonesty that lies at the heart of the practice. Yet, such statements are usually made in the absence of in-depth theoretical analysis. This paper seeks to redress this by applying Standpoint Theory, testing it against the work of Günter Wallraff, Germany’s lauded but controversial undercover journalist who uses disguises to report on that country’s marginalized and disadvantaged. While the authors applaud Wallraff’s exposure of the deplorable illegal and immoral dealings he uncovers, and do not seek to dismiss the significant results he has achieved, this paper uses the case study of his work to test the applicability of Standpoint Theory to undercover journalism, concluding that even under this accommodating theory, there may be ethical limits to journalism’s most ethically contentious practice.  相似文献
