The purpose of this study was to evaluate students’ perceptions of clickers as an instructional tool to promote active learning in a Physical Geography undergraduate class. A convenience sample of 24 undergraduate students registered in a physical geography course was assigned clickers to answer chapter quizzes in class for 15 weeks during the semester. Data from student interviews, student surveys, and exam grades were used to analyze the findings. Overall, students were satisfied and gave high approval ratings for the use of clickers, particularly for enhancing their participation and engagement in class lectures. The study findings show that clickers promote student engagement in the teaching and learning process. However, students did not find clickers to be a motivating factor to study more for the course. The implications for the use of clickers as instructional tools to improve active teaching and learning in technology-rich classrooms are also discussed. 相似文献

Transformation policies in South Africa have seen higher education come under increasing pressure to broaden participation from historically under‐represented groups. This article focuses on the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, as a newly merged institution that is in the process of transforming from a formerly segregated academic context. Recently, student enrolments have become increasingly diverse in terms of cultural, socio‐economic and linguistic backgrounds, as well as the level of preparedness that students have for traditional higher education programs. These diverse backgrounds and levels of preparedness place unique expectations on lecturers and peer tutors. Furthermore, tutorial systems have come to play an increasingly pivotal role in student learning. The researchers argue that without incorporating tutor development into the mainstream disciplines, peer tutors will not be able to effectively act as facilitators of subject content and discourse. They propose that this research can constitute a model for integrating academic development practice within subject‐specific curricula via tutors. This is realized through a collaborative initiative that enables change. 相似文献

Conclusions Several conclusions can be drawn from this study: 1) At midterm there was no difference in self-concept or ideal self-concept
factors clearly attributable to the videotape experience. 2) At midterm there was a significant difference on the Pleasantness
factor of self-concept between videotaped males and videotaped females. 3) Females videotaped during the first half of the
semester significantly increased on the Strength factor of self-concept during the second half of the semester. 4) At the
end of the semester there were no significant differences in self-concept or ideal self-concept scores attributable to the
time in the semester of the videotape experience. But there was a sleeper effect for females on the Strength factor that began
about seven weeks after self-viewing and led to enhancement of self-concept. 5) At the end of the semester females videotaped
early in the term had significantly higher scores on the Pleasantness factor of self-concept than did either group of males.
6) The significant interaction of factor x time x sex X time of videotape on the factors of ideal self-concept could not be
explained.
In future studies of self-concept and ideal self-concept, as related of self-viewing, males and females should be in separate
treatment groups. Further research might profitable explore the sleeper effect on the Strength factor for females, the tendency
of Strength factor of self-concept scores of males and females to equalize during a speech communication course, and the possibility
that the lapse of time between self-viewing and measurement may influence self-concept scores. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Counselors at university counseling centers (UCCs) should be prepared to provide services to sexual assault victims and survivors, as an estimated 23% of females and 5% of males are assaulted during college, with rates being higher for sexual and gender minority students. We surveyed doctoral interns (N = 49) at UCCs regarding interns’ training and educational experiences during their graduate programs, practicum, and internship placements, as well as the services that the interns and UCCs provide to recent victims. Among our findings, 96% of the sample had expected to work with a recent victim, 82% had already done so, and only 22% perceived themselves as fully prepared to provide such services. In addition, the majority of UCC interns had focused on sexual assault cases during case conferences, didactic trainings, and supervision. These results have implications for graduate programs and internship sites. 相似文献

As our nation and society becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, college campuses are experiencing a dynamic shift in the student demographic on campus as well. Purposes of the study were to: (a) analyze the beliefs of kinesiology academic unit leaders (i.e., chairs, directors, heads) regarding faculty and student diversity within their programs and departments and (b) inquire about strategic goals for faculty and student diversification within their programs and departments. The participants were 68 administrators (43 men, 25 women) and all current members of the American Kinesiology Association (AKA) as of 2015. Thematic content data analysis of the open-ended probes exposed the recurrent themes: (a) advocacy, motives, and actions; (b) diversity identified, but rarely defined; and (c) history, status, and outlook. Implications of the findings are that issues associated with diversity in kinesiology programs and departments should be addressed with vigor and progressive actions. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the mentor–coach initiative model on participating Head Start Programs.
The researchers interviewed 44 participants across two mid-western states. The participants provided positive feedback about
the initiative and identified specific literacy practices based on this model that were successfully implemented in their
classrooms. Evidence from this study suggests the importance of incorporating the mentor-coaching initiative model to enhance
teacher pedagogical practices. 相似文献

This study examined leadership style as a predictor of career readiness among a sample of (N = 281) students from two early college high schools from the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas. Participants included 165 females and 116 males ranging from 14 to 19 years of age and 96.8% identified as Hispanic. Participants provided demographic information and reported their own leadership style using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 5x) as well as their career readiness using the Employability Skills Inventory (ESI). Additionally, pre‐existing district Texas Success Initiative (TSI) data was used to identify college readiness in Reading, Writing, and Math. The results indicated that college readiness, dual enrollment, year in school and gender predicted some of the dimensions of career readiness, but leadership style emerged as a significant predictor of all eight dimensions of career readiness. 相似文献

A clearly articulated theoretical perspective on learning is essential for developing consistency among learning, pedagogy, and leadership and for planning and making adjustments to better serve students in all areas. Notwithstanding, few professional learning and school improvement approaches in pre-school through 12th grade (P-12) schools improve student learning (Guskey, 2003). Therefore, the central question is raised, how is theory used in professional learning and school improvement approaches that advance teaching and learning?Examination of peer-reviewed literature resulted in the identification of 3 effective approaches for analysis using 4 major learning theories. Analysis revealed that each approach was associated with the tenets of either a cognitive, constructivist, or sociocultural theoretical perspective on learning. This introduced a way to examine the theoretical soundness of school improvement and professional learning approaches. Conclusions regarding the use of learning theory in improvement designs are discussed. 相似文献

This study investigated the relationship between children’s ability to regulate emotions and display of appropriate behavior
in social settings. A sample of 33 children representing a wide range of social economic status was randomly selected from
a Head Start Program and an Early Childhood Development Center in the Midwest. Data were collected using the Emotion Regulation
Checklist (ERC) developed by Shields and Cicchetti (Dev Psychol 33:906–916, 1997, J Clin child Psychol, 27:231–395, 1998). A “Behavior Recording” checklist was developed and used to record appropriate and inappropriate behavior observed during
children social interactions. Teacher ratings identified children as generally high emotion regulators. Girls had generally
higher scores than boys in emotion regulation ability. A high relationship (r = .76) was also found between emotion regulation and display of appropriate behavior. Results indicate the importance of
emotions in relation to a child’s well being and academic achievement. Additionally, these findings suggest a need for parents
and early childhood educators to teach children appropriate emotional behavior when confronted with situations that are in
conflict with societal norms. 相似文献
