Adult Education,Social Action and the IBA: the sixties to the eighties     

C. Mayo 《Learning, Media and Technology》1991,17(2):71-80

The article describes the arrival and organisation of adult education on ITV. The author describes the development of social action programming and the arrival on the scene of the Community Education Officers in the ITV companies. The author contends that while the formal networked adult education output was only partially successful, the development of social action, fitting as it does the federal structure of ITV, opened up a rich new vein in British public service broadcasting.  相似文献   

A shorter set reduces the loss of cardiac autonomic and baroreflex control after resistance exercise     

Xián Mayo  Eduardo Carballeira-Fernández  Miguel Fernández-Del-Olmo 《European Journal of Sport Science》2016,16(8):996-1004

Set configuration may affect the recovery pattern of cardiac vagal autonomic and reflex modulation after a resistance exercise, since it is closely associated with intensity and volume and determines the metabolic involvement of the session. We tested the hypothesis that longer set configurations have a higher impact on cardiac autonomic control and baroreflex sensitivity compared with shorter set configurations. We studied the effects of three set configurations with the same components of work on the cardiac autonomic control and baroreflex sensitivity. Seventeen subjects performed one control session and three experimental sessions of a leg-press exercise with the same volume (40 repetitions), resting time (720?s) and intensity (10RM load): (a) 5 sets of 8 repetitions with 3?min of rest between sets (8S), (b) 10 sets of 4 repetitions with 80?s of rest between sets (4S) and (c) 40 sets of 1 repetition with 18.5?s of rest between each repetition (1S). Longer set configurations (8S and 4S) induced greater reductions of the vagal cardiac autonomic control and baroreflex sensitivity (p?≤?.001) compared with a shorter set configuration (1S). Also, 1S had non-significant reductions versus the control session (p?>?.05). These findings suggest that a shorter set configuration can reduce the impact of resistance exercise on the post-exercise cardiac vagal autonomic control and baroreflex sensitivity.  相似文献

Social difference,cultural arbitrary and identity: An analysis of a new national curriculum document in a non-secular environment     

Carmel Borg  Peter Mayo 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2013,23(1):63-86

This article focuses on the idea of the Curriculum as a 'selection from the cultures of society' and as a site of contestation for legitimacy and identity affirmation. The purpose is to shed some light on the nature of curricular reform being advocated in a specific context - Malta. Throughout the past four years, there has been a revamping of the National Minimum Curriculum (NMC) document in Malta, established in 1988. The 'old' National Minimum Curriculum was subject to criticism focusing on a variety of issues (echoing criticisms levelled at similar National Curricula elsewhere), including issues concerning difference and identity. The first part of the article deals briefly with the issues concerning difference raised in this criticism, focusing on the issues of class, race/ethnicity, gender and disability. The second part focuses on the long and gradual build up towards the development of the new National Curriculum document. The process centres around two documents, the preliminary Tomorrow's Schoolsdocument and the draft NMC document. The issues of equity and the affirmation of social difference, as well as the move towards de-streaming, are discussed. It is argued that this process of reform benefited from the criticism of the earlier NMC document. The process of reform involved an attempt at widespread participation by various stakeholders - parents, teachers, students, unions, women's organisations, disabled person's organisations etc. The final section focuses on the final new NMC document. In this section, the authors explore the compromises, which have been made in reaction to the draft document, indicating the interests at play. Whose cultural arbitrary is reflected in the final document? The article concludes with a discussion centring around lessons to be drawn from a process of curricular reform, involving issues related to identity and difference, carried out in a country characterised by a non-secular environment.  相似文献

First-Year Course Requirements and Retention for Community Colleges     

Teresa Mayo 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(10):764-768

Community colleges educate a diverse group of students. Effective first-year programs should focus on a variety of interventions that improve learning and retention. Students have academic, intellectual, and social challenges during their community college experience. First-year orientation programs should help students adapt. This article provides a brief history of the first-year experience, gives important guidelines for establishing first-year programs, and identifies the components that should be included in first-year programs.  相似文献   

Reliability of force-velocity parameters obtained from linear and curvilinear regressions for the bench press and squat exercises     

Eliseo Iglesias-Soler  Xian Mayo  Jessica Rial-Vázquez  Antonio Morín-Jiménez  Asier Aracama  Jose María Guerrero-Moreno 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(22):2596-2603

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to compare the goodness of fit and the reliability of different regression models for fitting the force-velocity relationship (FV) of bench press (BP) and squat (SQ). Additionally, the reliability of the position on FV of the velocity (V_1RM) and the force performed with the 1RM (F_1RM) was explored. Nine rugby players and 12 judokas participated in this study. The FV of BP and SQ were obtained twice by a protocol performed until the 1RM. Individual FV were fitted by linear (LM), quadratic polynomial (PM), and exponential models (EM). Adjusted coefficients of determination of LM and PM (medians higher than 0.919) were higher than for EM. The reliability was higher for LM in comparison with PM. The reliability of V_1RM was not acceptable (CV% = 19 and 18% for BP and SQ). High reliability was observed for F_1RM (CV% = 3 and 2% for BP and SQ) and for the ratio between F_1RM and the force-axis intercept of FV (CV% = 2 and 4% for BP and SQ). The reliability of the relative values of F_1RM around 92 and 87% of F₀ for BP and SQ suggests the use of these values for monitoring resistance training programmes.  相似文献   

Faculty evaluation of a faculty development center     

Dr. G. Douglas Mayo 《Research in higher education》1979,10(3):253-262

There is relatively little firm information concerning the effectiveness of faculty development programs at the present time. This condition is not likely to be alleviated by any one study, including the present one. The study does, however, offer a rationale for the faculty survey approach it uses and reports faculty responses concerning importance and performance, to each of 19 functions that make up the faculty development program at the institution involved. The study was conducted in a large urban university and involved responses from both faculty who had participated in the program during the preceding year and those who had not. It was concluded that, despite the subjective nature and other limitations of the survey approach to evaluation of faculty development programs, the information provided is useful both as a basis for decision making and program improvement.  相似文献   

Bureaucratic governance,family economies and the 1930s NSW teachers’ marriage bar,Australia     

Helen Proctor  Ashleigh Driscoll 《Journal of educational administration and history》2017,49(2):157-170

This paper reports the findings of an analysis of a collection of Statutory Declaration forms completed by teachers seeking exemption from dismissal under the NSW Married Women (Lecturers and Teachers) Act (1932–1947). Most sought exemption on hardship grounds, recording details of their husbands’ inability or unwillingness to provide them with ‘adequate’ support. The collection offers insight into the gendered finances of a particular group during the 1930s Depression, revealing some complex interdependencies—such as the need to support extended kin—and offering insights into the role of the state in the making of the family as a social and economic unit. The bureaucratic apparatus of regulation and standardised paperwork operated materially and discursively to distinguish the exceptional (salaried married women) from the more desirable or legitimate order of gendered responsibilities (financially dependent wives). Finally, the forms are strikingly silent about the professional teaching work of the women.  相似文献   

Five Methods to Score the Teacher Observation of Classroom Adaptation Checklist and to Examine Group Differences     

Ze Wang  David Rohrer  Chi-ching Chuang  Mayo Fujiki  Keith Herman  Wendy Reinke 《Journal of Experimental Education》2015,83(1):24-50

This study compared 5 scoring methods in terms of their statistical assumptions. They were then used to score the Teacher Observation of Classroom Adaptation Checklist, a measure consisting of 3 subscales and 21 Likert-type items. The 5 methods used were (a) sum/average scores of items, (b) latent factor scores with continuous indicators, (c) latent factor scores with ordered categorical indicators using the mean- and variance-adjusted weighted least squares estimation method, (d) latent factor scores with ordered categorical indicators using the full information maximum likelihood estimation method, and (e) multidimensional graded response model using the Bock-Aitkin expectation-maximization estimation procedure. Measurement invariance between gender groups and between free/reduced-price lunch status groups was evaluated with the second, third, fourth, and fifth methods. Group mean differences based on the 5 methods were calculated and compared.  相似文献
