Using grant funding to enhance school psychology training

The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) offers competitive grants to institutions to provide training to prepare education personnel to work with children with disabilities. These grants have been found to improve the recruitment, training, and retention of special education personnel. This study explored the use of OSEP–personnel preparation (OSEP–PP) grants in school psychology programs from the perspective of school psychology university trainers with current active OSEP grant funding. Findings suggest that OSEP–PP grants enhance school psychology program recruitment efforts and improve the training of school psychologists. Study participants highlighted the importance of diversity within both training and recruitment. On the basis of these findings, authors discuss ways in which OSEP–PP funding can improve field shortages and school psychology training, and subsequently enhance school psychology practices towards more comprehensive service delivery.

Parent training research: An analysis of the empirical literature 1975–1985

This project was designed to provide a retrospective analysis of the parent training literature during the last decade. Eighteen journals with behavioral psychology, clinical/counseling psychology, school psychology, and special education emphases were selected for review. Data related to the number of articles published in each journal, year of article publication, referral problem, and contributing institution were collected. Results indicate that behavioral journals published the most empirically based parent training articles (66%), followed by clinical/counseling psychology (26%), special education (6%), and school psychology (3%) journals. Parents with noncompliant, handicapped, or abused/neglected children comprised the majority (58%) of research participants. Suggestions for involving school psychologists in parent training research and broadening the focus of parent training to include preventive, as well as remedial, efforts are presented.

School psychology and college learning disabled students: Traning and service possibilities

In recent years, increased attention has been devoted to the applicability of school psychological services to the adult population. Despite such attention, few school psychologists currently are being prepared to service adults. This paper argues that, with increasing numbers of learning disabled students entering postsecondary institutions, there exists an opportunity for school psychology training programs to aid in the servicing of these legally handicapped adults, while, at the same time, providing valuable experience to school psychology students in servicing the adult population. Specifically, this paper provides the reader with an overview of services provided to college learning disabled students, discusses the relationship between such services and school psychological services, and identifies numerous and service possibilities that exist for the profession of school psychology.     

Positive psychology goes to school: Are we there yet?

Implicit within a perspective of positive psychology is the assumption that environments can be promoted to foster individual strengths through a preventative focus and the development of positive institutions. Given that the development of positive institutions has direct implications for school psychology, this paper begins to draw attention to the potential of positive psychology within school systems. Throughout the paper, it is suggested that a focus on schools may serve as the nexus between the movement in positive psychology searching to promote positive human development and the institutions that could serve as the vehicle for this development. Historic and emerging trends are examined, with particular attention to how positive psychology could promote the development of positive schools (institutions) that foster success for all students. Specifically, the parallel histories of discontent with deficit‐oriented practice in the fields of mental health and school psychology are reviewed, and precursors to building and maintaining positive institutions that focus on working within the existing system to promote lasting change are explored. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Directing an APA-approved school psychology program: Reasons,responsibilities, benefits

Directors of American Psychological Association (APA)-approved school psychology programs were surveyed to determine what responsibilities and benefits attend their role as training director; they also were asked to identify what they liked about serving in the training director role. Of 42 possible respondents, 33 (79%) returned usable questionnaires. Several responsibilities that all or virtually all of the training directors engaged in were identified (e.g., end-of-year APA report preparation); many respondents (61%) received release time from a class, but otherwise any benefits they received were few; and several important, motivating reasons (e.g., contributing to the future of school psychology) for functioning as a training director were identified. The implications of these findings for school psychology programs are briefly discussed.

北京市营利性青少年篮球培训市场调查研究

采用文献资料法、专家访谈法、问卷调查法等对北京市营利性青少年篮球培训市场的消费与经营现状进行研究。研究结果显示,目前北京市营利性青少年篮球培训市场的发展处于初级阶段,但发展潜力大。篮球培训学员主要是小学、初中的学生,和文化课冲突是影响学员参加培训的重要因素。篮球培训机构以个体投资为主,场地条件较好,但主要是租用篮球场馆;管理人员的整体素质不高,懂体育又精通经营管理的专业人才比较缺乏,从而导致培训机构的营销手段比较单一。教练员队伍呈现出低龄、高学历、专职化程度低、流动性大、从业年限少等特征。并针对研究结果提出相关对策。

桂东县留守儿童教育问题调查报告——桂东县12位中小学校长访谈录

桂东县各乡镇留守儿童的比例和农民人均纯收入呈现出中等程度的负相关。留守儿童普遍学习成绩一般,心理容易早熟,容易违纪,容易出安全事故等。但对留守儿童不宜有先入为主的偏见,固定在“双差生”的位置上。解决留守儿童问题是一个社会性、系统性的工程,它需要全社会包括政府的关心、参与和大力支持,需要国家和地方政府加大对教育经费的投入,需要建立长效管理机制,采取具体措施,发掘和鼓励留守儿童闪光点,进行正面教育。     

以其昏昏使人昭昭——行动学习给党校教学改革的启示

在行动学习中,促进师是一个重要的角色,它的作用在于促进小组成员围绕目标以更具效能的方式思考与对话,从而促成小组成员找出问题答案,而他本身并不一定要知道答策。促进师所起的作用正好与孟子所言“以其昏昏使人昭昭”相吻合。随着时代的发展,党校仍然以灌输式教学为主,教师总是充当“标准答案发布者”显得有些勉为其难。党校应从教学机构向教学培训机构特变。教师在课堂上可以采用以学员为中心的、发挥学员主体地位的教学培训方式。要完成上述转变,党校教师应学会以促进师这一角色出现于课堂上。

废名的儿童教育思想——以《莫须有先生坐飞机以后》为例

废名在抗战期间,从北大回到故乡湖北黄梅,从事小学教育。其自传体小说《莫须有先生坐飞机以后》有大量的儿童教育片断描写,集中表现了其儿童观和儿童教育思想。废名认为"每个儿童都有他的世界",教育者应尊重儿童本有的世界;"自然"是儿童的好学校,主张让儿童接受"自然"的教育;学校教学要从儿童的生活和心理出发。废名对儿童天性的尊重以及对以儿童为本的教育思想的倡导,至今仍有现实意义。
