Parents' views of the efficacy of conductive education in Sweden

Parents of children who have participated in a conductive education programme in Sweden were asked questions about their reasons for choosing the programme, the expectations they had of it and how they were fulfilled. The results showed that the parents were satisfied with the development of their child, and wanted to continue to take part in further courses with their child. They appreciated the intensive training and found it motivating and enjoyable for the child. They wanted an intensive training for their child because they believed that active training could help the child to develop. The parents learned more about cerebral palsy at the courses and now understood why and how they could train their child. Most of the parents continued the training at home with the child. They experienced financial difficulties in participating in further courses, and found it difficult to stay away from work and family for a long period of time.

Dissolving boundaries: cross-national co-operation through technology in education

This article reports research on cross-national co-operation through Information and Communications Technology (ICT) within the statutory curricula of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, the views and experiences of teachers in partner schools in the north and south of Ireland were sought on the capacity and potential of asynchronous computer conferencing and videoconferencing to generate collaborative work in a cross-border setting, to promote cultural awareness among primary and post-primary pupils, and to improve teacher and pupil competence in ICT. The results showed a significant improvement in ICT competence, and also revealed that technical training, enthusiasm and commitment were the key factors for success, and that not only did the pupils develop an awareness of the cultural identity of distant peers, but their sense of responsibility, self-esteem and motivation grew. This particularly helped less able and quieter pupils. There was unexpected rôle reversal when children helped their teachers within an ICT context, a situation not found elsewhere in the curriculum. Additionally, there were beneficial effects on literacy, group work and independent learning, and the skills acquired were transferable. The commitment of the teachers to continue this cross-national work with limited support is a measure of its potential sustainability.

Overqualified: Changing the Culture of Hiring Practices in a Public Library Special Collections Department

All too often, applicants for low level paraprofessional positions in libraries are passed over or rejected, not because they are not qualified, but because they have professional experience or advanced degrees. The rationale behind these decisions is that the overqualified staff member in a low level position will continue to look for a better position more aligned with their skills, experience, and education; and when they find another job they will leave and their positions will have to be filled again. This essay argues that this reasoning is flawed and, regardless of the perceived inconvenience, library managers and administrators should want the best and the brightest working in all levels of their library.

基于批判性思维和创造力的我国大学生信息素养教育模式研究

信息素养、批判性思维、创造力是21世纪大学生必需掌握的核心技能,研究并揭示三者的内在影响机制,对于促进高等教育信息素养教育观念的转变,制订信息素养标准,进而优化信息素养教育模式,具有重要意义。本文采用问卷调查方法获取我国大学生信息素养、批判性思维能力和创造力状况的基本数据。通过回归分析和中介效应分析发现:信息素养、批判性思维对创造力影响显著,批判性思维在信息素养对创造力的影响中存在显著中介效应。通过路径分析发现:信息评估能力和信息利用能力通过批判性思维的中介作用更能促进创造力,信息素养通过分析能力和系统化能力更能够激发创造力,信息搜索能力通过系统化能力能够最大程度激发创造力;信息搜索能力、信息评估能力、信息利用能力是信息素养的核心能力,分析能力、系统化能力是批判性思维的核心能力。研究结果表明:在信息素养教育中融合批判性思维的培养能较大程度地提高大学生的创造力。根据调研结果及相关理论研究,本文提出融合批判性思维的信息素养教育与专业课程教育的整合模式,即ILi CTi C模式,并提出实现该模式的系统方案,以期为推进我国大学生信息素养教育提供参考。
