This study investigates instructors’ attitudes about student ratings of instruction. The sample consisted of 357 instructors
at a major Canadian university, where student evaluation is carried out in all courses at the end of each term. Instructors
tend to agree that the student rating practice is an acceptable means of assessing institutional integrity, and is useful
to administrators in making summative decisions. However, they consider the student evaluations only marginally valuable in
their impact on enhancing instruction. Implications for the development of student ratings are discussed. 相似文献

The role of topic‐related background knowledge in visual attention to illustration and children's word learning during shared book reading 下载免费PDF全文
Tanya Kaefer 《Journal of Research in Reading》2018,41(3):582-596
The purpose of this study was to examine how background knowledge of a topic may influence children's attention to different elements of storybook illustrations and how that influences word learning. Forty‐one kindergarten students were administered a test about a familiar topic (i.e., birds). Participants were then read either a fictional story about a familiar topic (birds) or a fictional story about a novel topic (wugs) on an eye‐tracker monitor. Results suggest that, for children who heard the familiar story, those who knew more about the category were faster to orient to the illustration of the novel word than children with lower background knowledge. Accordingly, children who were faster to orient to the illustration were more likely to learn the word. These results may suggest that one mechanism by which background knowledge improves implicit learning in shared‐book reading contexts is by guiding attention to the named elements of the illustrations. 相似文献

This study empirically assessed the applicability of the common factors model to students accessing university-based counseling (n = 102). Participants rated symptoms of depression, anxiety, and somatization at intake and discharge. Therapists kept detailed session notes on client factors and therapy process variables. Data were analyzed utilizing structural equation modeling to assess what common factors significantly predicted outcome improvements. Authors found duration of therapy, positive life events, and intimate relationship supports positively influenced outcomes. Increases in the number of intervention approaches and sessions negatively influenced certain outcomes. The present findings have important implications for programming and treatment planning within on-campus counseling services. 相似文献

Many community-based sport and physical activity programs take a positive youth development approach when operating in underserved communities around the world (Forneris, Whitley, & Barker, 2013). However, one of the biggest challenges for these programs is sustainability (Lindsey, 2008). The purpose of this article is to present the 3 authors’ experiences related to program sustainability when working with community-based sport and physical activity programs using a positive youth development approach in underserved communities. The authors describe the challenges faced with program sustainability, including ineffective development approaches, building strong relationships with community partners, knowledge translation, and securing funding. Also described are the strategies used to overcome these challenges, such as planning, capacity building, recruitment, and evaluation. This article is intended to stimulate more open and honest discussions about the realities of positive youth development program sustainability around the world. 相似文献

Routines are an important feature of family life and functioning in families with young children. Common daily routines such
as dinnertime, bedtime, and waking activities are powerful organizers of family behavior and may be instrumental to children
and families during times of transition, such as elementary school entry. Daily routines were examined in 132 families with
children entering kindergarten. Although the majority of families reported regular daily routines for their children, parents
anticipated that their child’s daily routines would substantially shift upon kindergarten entry, including changes in children’s
sleep habits. Significant changes in child and family routines have been implicated in adjustment difficulties during kindergarten
transition. Results of this investigation are discussed in terms of aligning family daily routines with kindergarten expectations.
Furthermore, educational professionals in early childhood education and elementary school can partner with families to promote
seamless kindergarten transitions for all children. 相似文献

Are policies to increase women’s share among university professors effective? The importance of gender equality on the labor market has been well established, but our understanding of what kind of policy is effective to increase the share of women is still unclear. Three sets of factors explain women’s low shares at higher job levels, notably individual, cultural, and structural or institutional perspectives, and policies to increase the proportion of women therefore should address these factors. This paper aims to investigate if they do so and if they are effective. We investigated the efficacy of gender equality policy measures in all 14 universities in the Netherlands, implemented between 2000 and 2007. Based on documents and interviews, 19 measures were identified that could be classified according to the three perspectives. The university with the most measures applied four times more measures than the one with the least measures. The more measures a university applied in the cultural perspective, the more likely it also applied measures in the other two perspectives. Whereas the HR managers and policy makers at universities reported skepticism and lack of evaluations, our study reveals a positive relationship between policy measures and the reduction of the glass ceiling and between policies in the cultural perspective and the increase of the proportion of women among professors. 相似文献

Using the 6S Pyramid to Identify Research‐Based Instructional Practices for Students with Learning Disabilities 下载免费PDF全文
Tanya Santangelo Leslie C. Novosel Bryan G. Cook Meredith Gapsis 《Learning disabilities research & practice》2015,30(2):91-101
To optimize students’ learning outcomes, educators are increasingly expected to use instructional practices shown to be effective by credible research. To help make this possible, organizations and scholars are producing resources that summarize research related to various instructional practices. However, as the collection of resources grows in size and complexity, it can be difficult and frustrating for practitioners to locate and utilize this information. In this article, we describe the 6S Pyramid (DiCenso, Bayley, & Haynes, 2009), a framework for efficiently and accurately prioritizing different types of research evidence. We also identify and briefly summarize Internet resources corresponding with each level of the Pyramid that can be used to identify research‐based practices for students with learning disabilities. To illustrate how the 6S Pyramid can be used in school and classroom settings, we begin and end the article with vignettes featuring a pair of co‐teachers seeking to improve instruction for their students who struggle with reading. 相似文献
