Tracing the evolution of critical evaluation skills in students' use of the Internet

This paper documents the evolving uses of the Internet made by public health graduate students and traces the development of their search methods and critical evaluative criteria. Early in the first semester and again six months later, twenty-four graduate students in a problem-based learning curriculum, which emphasizes evidence-based critical thinking skills, were required to describe their most helpful resources and to evaluate these resources critically. The answers were coded for the types of resources the students used, how frequently they were used, and why they were used. Student perception of the usefulness of resources, especially the Internet, and ability to evaluate these resources critically changed greatly. Initially, 96% of the students stated that the Internet was their most helpful resource. Six months later, these students continued to use the Internet; however, it was not their most useful source. At the later point, students had very specific uses for the Internet. Their most frequently used evaluation criterion was the reliability and objectivity of the source of the information. By the end of the first year of study, the majority of the students demonstrated an understanding of the principles of evidence-based practice and applied them to their research and analysis of information resources.

现代女子中长跑运动员的训练问题

一、比赛的特点为了创造优异成绩,挖掘运动员的最大潜力应当充分考虑到运动员速度与距离变化的关系。中长运动员的成绩预测是依据对全程的开始、中间和结束时的速度而提出的。但无论何时,速度又取决于步长和步频。因此,中长跑运动员的任务是保持每段距离所特有的步长和步频。掌握运动员的比赛指标的方法是根据对世界记录的预测和搜集与记录速度高度相关的步长与步频的统计资料来决定的。尤其重要的是,要通过计算和分析找出训练中负荷跑的最合理的安排。现在经过计算,分析得知,女子中长跑运动员要进入世界记录水平,必须达     

语言学习与计算机

S·佩帕特在他的著作“精神风暴”(1980)一书的序中提到一些问题:使用技术来做我们通常所做的工作,如用电子机器代替普通手册,进行更多的操练和实践活动,由指导老师传播信息进行联机考试等,是不是仅仅为了提高效率而已?这些问题都
