A pillar of the Youngstown community: The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County engages in the Harwood practice

ABSTRACT

The Harwood Institute arrived in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1999; and today, over 18 years later, its teachings have made a profound effect upon the city. The Youngstown Public Library, through the leadership of Carlton Sears and Heidi Daniel, has wholeheartedly embraced the methods and ideology of the Harwood Institute, helping to reinvigorate and power a city working its way back to prosperity.     

Assessing the Benefits of Content Notes Enhancements for Digital Audio Resources

Our library has previously investigated the potential impact the addition of contents notes on circulation. In a subsequent study, we found contents notes were the second metadata element most heavily linked to circulation (title was first). Since there has been a marked decline in the use of print resources at our library and a corresponding increase in digital resources, we wanted to know if the addition of contents notes to records for online streaming audio files would result in a similar increase in usage. After enhancing the records, we tracked usage for a period of three months.

高职专任师资实践能力建设的问题与构想

提升我国高职专任师资的实践能力,不仅关系到高职院校核心竞争能力的培育,更关系到当前社会对高技能人才巨大需求与供给矛盾的化解。针对高职专任师资实践能力薄弱的问题,政府、行业、企业和高职院校在加强高职专任师资实践能力建设上,应创新制度设计、加大经费投入、丰富培训资源、加强培训考核评价,以满足高职教育人才培养质量不断提高的新需要。     

从理论宣传角度审视五四时期“问题与主义”之争

20世纪初的＂问题与主义＂之争早已尘埃落定,但它所警告的教条主义空谈理论的危险并没有随之消失。＂问题与主义＂之争中提出的宣传＂主义＂和＂学理＂的方法,对我们今天的理论宣传仍有很大启发。     

求解非线性互补问题的两步迭代-Filter方法

利用牛顿迭代法作为预测步,用不动点迭代法作为修正步,结合filter技术,提出了求解非线性互补问题的两步迭代-filter算法,并证明了算法的局部三阶收敛性,最后通过数值实验表明该算法的有效性.     

Effects of pairs of problems and examples on task performance and different types of cognitive load

In two studies, we investigated whether a recently developed psychometric instrument can differentiate intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load. Study I revealed a similar three-factor solution for language learning (n = 108) and a statistics lecture (n = 174), and statistics exam scores correlated negatively with the factors assumed to represent intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load during the lecture. In Study II, university freshmen who studied applications of Bayes' theorem in example–example (n = 18) or example–problem (n = 18) condition demonstrated better posttest performance than their peers who studied the applications in problem–example (n = 18) or problem–problem (n = 20) condition, and a slightly modified version of the aforementioned psychometric instrument could help researchers to differentiate intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load. The findings provide support for a recent reconceptualization of germane cognitive load as referring to the actual working memory resources devoted to dealing with intrinsic cognitive load.
