Asking students their opinions of the learning environment: an empirical analysis of elementary classroom climate

There is currently a lack of research into classroom climate as perceived by the students themselves. This article presents a new classroom climate evaluation instrument which is designed to gauge student perceptions of their own level of engagement in academic activities, their relationships with peers, and the level of support they feel from their teachers. The Classroom Climate Index was pilot tested with a group of 105 elementary students aged 8–12. The pilot data were factor analysed, and the instrument was refined accordingly. Following the pilot test, the refined instrument was next administered to a larger sample of 2340 elementary students. Data from the comprehensive study were subjected to factor and reliability analyses, the results of which support the use of the Classroom Climate Index in measuring student engagement, supportive teacher behaviour, and collegial support from the student perspective.

自闭症儿童代词使用训练个案研究

研究采用情景对话、重复、强化等方法,对一名自闭症儿童进行了为期三个月的代词使用训练,以培养其对代词的理解与运用能力,发展其口语表达能力。研究结果发现：经过针对性的训练,自闭症儿童能够获得代词运用能力;自闭症儿童对“我”、“你”等需要转换成“你”、“我”等来回答的代词及对“怎么样”、“谁”等需要判断才能回答的代词掌握起来相对缓慢,对“他”、“这”、“那”等不需转换可直接使用的代词则掌握较快;自闭症儿童对人称代词、疑问代词及指示代词的掌握是同步的。     

Parental communication and collaboration in schools with special educational needs (SEN) programmes in Bhutan

ABSTRACT

This study explored the experiences of communication and collaboration of parents with the teachers of their children with special educational needs (SEN). In this investigation in the Bhutanese context, 26 parents (13 fathers and 13 mothers) of children with SEN, either fully or partially included in 3 schools with SEN programmes in Bhutan located in urban, semi-urban, and rural regions in Bhutan were individually interviewed. The interview data were recorded, transcribed, and analysed using both manual thematic coding semantic mapping and text mining analysis (Leximancer). The majority of parents (n?=?21/26) were found to have either minimal or no communication or collaboration with the school. It was mainly a few mothers (n?=?4), and no fathers, who reported consistent communication and collaboration with the school, whose children were partially included in the schools and had high support needs. The findings have implications for building channels of communication and collaboration between parents and school staff in order to support their children with SEN in Bhutan.
