Center Stage: Performing a Needs Assessment of Campus Research Centers and Institutes

LATIN ‐‐AN INTEGRATED LEARNING PROJECT

Television has an increasing role as an aid to learning. In the past, because of the expense of the equipment needed, it has been regarded as a tool for teaching. Only recently has it been installed in libraries and resource centres together with video recorders and headsets, to permit students to learn from video sources of information. In many of these applications, however, despite the fact that other media is available in the same location, the connection between other items and television material is no more than tenuous. In the Latin Learning Project used by Surrey schools, as described in this article, efforts have been made to get beyond this limitation.     

“Circle of Friends”—An Exploration of Impact Over Time

This study investigated the impact of different aspects of the circle of friends (CoF) intervention. A naturalistic sample of 14 primary‐aged children with a range of special educational needs were involved, seven of whom were followed‐up a term later, to assess medium‐term impact. The whole‐class meeting was found to be effective in increasing the social inclusion of the focus children. However, with the exception of one child with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), the weekly CoF meetings produced no measurable further improvements. Possible explanations for the pattern of findings and implications for educational psychology practice are discussed.     

Measuring Self-Regulation: A Focus on Activity

Ainley and Patrick describe an assessment process designed to “identify self- regulation in action.” In the spirit of this goal, the author offers three suggestions for providing a more holistic and contextual view of self-regulation. These suggestions include (a) expanding the definition of self-regulation used in their studies; (b) measuring self-regulation as a dynamic process rather than as a linear one; and (c) including measures of the context, such as task, interpersonal contacts, and community norms.
