Creating information resources and trainings for farmworker-serving community health workers

Background:Farmworker-serving community health workers have limited access to farmworker health research findings, training, and education resources. With funding from the National Library of Medicine, we are working to improve the health information literacy of both community health workers and farmworkers. We conducted focus group discussions with community health workers to explore their experiences providing health education and information to farmworkers, their information-seeking behaviors, and their technology and information needs. Data from the focus groups provided insights into the main areas in which community health workers would like to receive professional development.Case Presentation:Our team, which includes health sciences librarians, developed a resource list of educational materials for farmworker health, videos to increase community health workers'' skills finding health information online, and webinars to introduce these resources to community health workers. Videos, available in Spanish and English, included instruction on finding and evaluating online health information, accessing reputable online consumer health information sources, and advanced searching tips for Google and PubMed. Through three webinars, we introduced the resource list, videos, and design software for creating handouts and infographics to community health workers.Conclusions:Community health workers have a critical role in providing health education and information to farmworkers, and our efforts represent a first step in addressing community health workers'' limited access to professional development. Health sciences librarians are well positioned to partner with interdisciplinary teams working to reduce health disparities and provide resources and training to community health workers, farmworkers, and other underserved communities.

中国武术功夫论的身体素养意蕴与价值

运用文献资料法和中国哲学诠释学方法,在"技道并进""德艺双馨"的优秀文化传统和"功夫所至即是本体"的哲学范式下,提出：武术功夫是一个三维合一的概念,其既涵摄本体与主体,亦包纳才艺与能力,还囊括了方法与规则。从"功力"角度看,功夫具备本体的性质,指的是类似禅、太极等理念在长时间实践中的现身性表达;从"功用"的角度看,功夫就是一种高级的搏击竞技能力或表演才艺;从"功法"的角度看,功夫表征了方法运用的得当。其蕴藏了：（1）神形共建;（2）在人伦日用中寻求终身技能的发展;（3）身体技艺与情感意志共同成长三层"元实践"哲学意蕴。功夫旨在塑造整体的人、具体的人和自我超越的人,这无疑与身体素养所强调的"身体锻炼与人格培养并举"的整体论哲学在逻辑上相贯通。武术功夫在语义和哲学内涵两个层面上与身体素养有着极强的互释性,属于中国本有的身体素养思想,这就使得功夫修炼具备了提升当代人身体素养和助推当今武术发挥更广义的教育价值之重要意义。     

高职体育教学中学生体育素养和职业能力培养研究

高职教育是我国高等教育的重要组成部分,高职院校专注培养实用型人才,重视学生的实际运用能力,以及实际操作能力,满足社会对实用技能型人才的需求。随着教育体制的改革,传统体育教学中的问题不断凸显,很难培养学生的体育素养,也不利于提升学生的职业能力。高职院校在体育教学中,不仅要教授学生专业的体育知识,也要将学生的身体素质和职业技能作为重要的教学内容,针对学生的专业制定体育项目,促进学生体育能力的多方面发展,为未来的社会工作作铺垫。目前高职院校在体育教学中,忽视学生体育素养和职业能力的培养,需要及时改进,制定合理的措施,提升学生的体育素养和职业能力。

European Journal of Special Needs Education Vol. 18, No. 3, October 2003 erratum

The current paper reports on the outcome of an ongoing action research project at a school for higher-functioning students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Sweden. The overall aim of the study was to develop and evaluate a questionnaire that captures social and individual aspects of classroom learning suitable for use with students with ASD. Interview data is presented on the perceived utility of the questionnaire for understanding and planning classroom instruction for the children with ASD through the eyes of the students’ teachers and their parents, as assessed during an Individual Education Plan meeting. Further, teacher ratings obtained by means of the instrument were found to differentiate a group of students with ASD (n = 10) from a group of typically developing children matched with regard to grade year, word reading ability and receptive vocabulary (n = 10). Implications and future directions are discussed, as are limitations of this pilot study.

ABSTRACT

This paper describes a collaborative project between the staff of twelve mainstream schools and Suffolk Local Education Authority staff which has aimed to develop differentiated teaching strategies. The project has developed teaching and assessment techniques for pupils with literacy difficulties and approaches to delivering aspects of the whole curriculum to pupils with special educational needs. The project recognizes the central importance of mainstream teachers if integration for pupils with special educational needs is to be a truly meaningful educational experience.
