The 2005–2008 Australian National Sexually Transmissible Infections Strategy identifies young people as a key target group in need of sexual health education, screening and management. For young people who are in contact with the New South Wales (NSW) juvenile justice system, a dire need for remedial sexual health education exists. NSW young offenders indicate initiation of sexual activity at a younger age than their peers, higher numbers of sexual partners, infrequent condom use and higher rates of sexually transmitted infections. They also report family instability, poor accessing of health services, and low school attendance: all factors that result in poor sexual knowledge and health outcomes. An examination into the cognitive profile of these young offenders indicates remedial education for this group may require a dual approach in order to redress their specific circumstances and needs. The first approach should target young offenders who simply missed out on stages of sexual health information in the school curriculum. The second approach requires a tailored teaching methodology more appropriate for a group with atypical cognitive profiles. Both approaches need to engage an educative model that acknowledges that these disadvantaged young people are already sexual active; and that many did not have the benefit of an informed or consensual decision making processes. More importantly, the tailoring of a sexual health education program to these young people needs to resonate with teaching to a cognitively distinctive population who have experienced higher than usual rates of alcohol and other drugs abuse, and higher than usual episodes of physical and emotional abuse and neglect. 相似文献

The Management & Economics Library at Purdue University began a major physical and conceptual renovation four years ago. The conceptual renovation involves a rethinking of library faculty and staff roles and responsibilities based on the library's and university's strategic directives. The LearnLab space is being used as a springboard to create new partnerships, to implement our new roles, and to transform the perspective of an academic library's present capability. This article will highlight the variety of opportunities that have arisen by leveraging the LearnLab space. 相似文献

This case study examines ideas on a thinking curriculum and learning to learn in the context of secondary education, by exploring one subject area- computing studies- at the Scottish secondary 3/4 (S3/S4) level with 14- to 16-year-olds. The infusion approach used in this project combines direct teaching on problem solving strategies, modeling of solution processes, on-going formative assessment, and developing metacognition through processes of reflection, articulation and exploration. The case study provides an example of how these approaches can be interweaved within a problem-based learning methodology for teaching computer programming at an introductory level. The study demonstrates how an appropriate balance can be struck between content objectives and broader educational goals within an infusion approach, resulting in the achievement of successful learning outcomes. Extending the approach to other subject domains could greatly enhance the connectedness of the secondary curriculum, thus enabling students to learn more efficiently. This would require cross-curricular collaborations and a reformulation of existing curricula. 相似文献

This paper explores aspects of professional development for teachers of science and mathematics in schools in rural Australia. The study identified a range of issues including tensions between government, school and individual professional learning priorities and their respective responsibilities; the shaping of professional development by rurality; and issues of generic versus subject-specific professional learning. The paper will focus on the needs of teachers, particularly secondary teachers, for subject-specific professional development and the capacity of different professional development approaches for satisfying these needs. The notion of discourse communities is proposed as a framework for considering this issue. 相似文献

The Centre for Science and Mathematics Education Research at the University of Waikato is now undertaking the fourth Learning
in Science Project, LISP(Teacher Development). The project builds on the findings of the previous three projects on the nature
of learning and how to improve learning of science in classrooms. This two-year project is investigating the process of teacher
development (as change in behaviour and beliefs) in the context of two kinds of teacher courses that acknowledge and take
into account teachers’ existing ideas. This paper summarises the planning done for the first phase of the project as detailed
in Bell, Kirkwood and Pearson (1990).
Specializations: learning theories, curriculum development, equity issues.
Specializations: science education, teacher professional development. 相似文献

Conclusion These preliminary findings have implications for the effective inservicing of early childhood and primary teachers in the
science and technology areas. They are also likely to have implications for preservice courses. The research findings indicate
that teachers can overcome their often negative views of science and of science teaching. Factors significant in this process
appear to be: firstly, and most importantly, experience by the teachers of support and acceptance as they begin—often anxiously-their
explorations of science, science teaching and learning.
Secondly, teachers begin their investigations in a context with which they are familiar, from the point “where they are at”
and hence from which they can develop their investigations in directions they perceive to be the most fruitful. Thirdly, the
sharing of explorations, reflections and progress amongst group members encourages the teachers to clarify and justify their
own directions and perspectives, to learn of others' journeys, and to receive affirmation of their own learning. it is clear
that this complex process cannot be hurried: inservicing teachers in an area that has been so neglected in the school curriculum
requires an approach that fully recognises this. 相似文献
