Predictors of foster parents' satisfaction and intent to continue to foster

OBJECTIVE: The United States General Accounting Office (United States General Accounting Office [USGAO], 1989) report on out-of-home care affirmed that the foster care system is in crisis. To shed light on some factors that influence retention, the study reported here asked "What factors influence the satisfaction of foster parents?" and "What factors influence the intent of licensed foster parents to continue to foster?" METHOD: A sample of 539 foster parents in eight urban counties in a large Midwestern state completed questionnaires aimed at addressing these questions. RESULTS: Some of the factors exerting the strongest influence on satisfaction were: feeling competent to handle the children who were placed; wanting to take in children who needed loving parents; no regrets about investment in foster children; foster mother's age; and agency social worker providing information and showing approval for a job well done. An example of factors exerting influence on intent to continue to foster include overall satisfaction, readiness to phone the social worker, number of foster boys in the home, being treated like one needed help oneself, and agency affiliation (private). CONCLUSIONS: Efforts to increase the supply of foster homes through recruitment is not enough. The support, training, and professional regard given to parents after they have begun the fostering task is of greater need. Based on analysis of the findings, implications for practice, programming, and policy are offered.

鳥类的干制

在生物学課堂教学中,直观教具的演示,是教学和教育工作中不可缺少的一部分。但生物教师却不能每一堂都能安排好必要的教具。这是由于教师不会自己制备教具的緣故。我从事各种直观教具,特别是对爬行类、鳥类与哺乳类动物的干制标本,已有十余年的經驗。本文將介紹应用40%的福尔馬林溶液注射于动物屍体的方法干制鳥类标本的经验。剥制法虽比干制法效果好一些,但时間需要较长;此外,剥制时所用的砒霜或砷酸钠这些毒物,往往有危險,而且这些毒物又不易买到。干制只需用福尔馬林,危險性少,而每个藥房也都可买到。干制不同于剝制,以后会干縮变小,但形狀颜色不变。在一定的保存条件(玻璃柜中)下和适当的保养(每一年撒上一层萘粉、六六六药剂等),干制标     

对医预科学校学习目标的建议

最近，美国医学院校协会（ＡＡＭＣ）发表了医学院校学习目标报告（ＭＳＯＰ）以协助各院校培养“能够满足社会需求”的新一代医生。两份ＭＳＯＰ报告总体上是鼓励开发医预科学校的学习目标，建立这种学习目标能确保这些未来的医学生较好地面对医学院校的课程，这些课程已经限定了他们在四年中所学的内容。那些不能在标准医学课程中扩展的教育要素能在本科生教育中予以提供，医预科教育也能包含这些内容，例如：通讯技能，写作和演讲；医学的心理社会方面内容，从伦理学到医患关系的延伸；统计学，包括介绍以证据为基础的医学的概论；信息学…

Electrical engineering and nontechnical design variables of multiple inductive loop systems for auditoriums

This research analyzed both engineering and nontechnical issues involved in the use of Induction Loop Amplification (ILA) devices in auditoriums or large gathering places for hard-of-hearing individuals. A variety of parameters need to be taken into account to determine an optimal shape/configuration for the ILA device. In many cases, an optimal configuration is different from those proposed for classroom use (Ross, 1969; Hodgson, 1986; Clevenger, 1992). Experimental results were obtained for a double-loop configuration in such a setting (a university gymnasium/auditorium in this case). The results demonstrate that a double-loop configuration is a viable possibility for auditorium use. Several variables using this configuration were examined, and experimentation was done. Various implications, including consequent nontechnical issues specific to this application, are discussed as well. Technical and nontechnical aspects of the ILA configuration need to be examined together when designing an optimal system.     

基于国家教育标准的地理教材

为进一步增强美国地理教育。我们要做的许多事情之一就是改进教材的质量。其中最主要的三个方面的任务是:(1)开发优良的教材,(2)利用教师联盟的在职培训网络和职前教育计划培训教师使用这种新教材,(3)通过提供强有力的课程指导,特别是将教材与师资培训和基于国家
