Perceptions among occupational and physical therapy students of a nontraditional methodology for teaching laboratory gross anatomy     

Thomas KJ  Denham BE  Dinolfo JD 《Anatomical sciences education》2011,4(2):71-77

This pilot study was designed to assess the perceptions of physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) students regarding the use of computer-assisted pedagogy and prosection-oriented communications in the laboratory component of a human anatomy course at a comprehensive health sciences university in the southeastern United States. The goal was to determine whether student perceptions changed over the course of a summer session regarding verbal, visual, tactile, and web-based teaching methodologies. Pretest and post-test surveys were distributed online to students who volunteered to participate in the pilot study. Despite the relatively small sample size, statistically significant results indicated that PT and OT students who participated in this study perceived an improved ability to name major anatomical structures from memory, to draw major anatomical structures from memory, and to explain major anatomical relationships from memory. Students differed in their preferred learning styles. This study demonstrates that the combination of small group learning and digital web-based learning seems to increase PT and OT students' confidence in their anatomical knowledge. Further research is needed to determine which forms of integrated instruction lead to improved student performance in the human gross anatomy laboratory.  相似文献

Hidden Currents in the STEM Pipeline: Insights From the Dyschronous Life Episodes of a Minority Female STEM Teacher     

Tang Wee Teo 《理论付诸实践》2014,53(1):48-54

In this article, I use the idea of dyschrony to describe the multiple disjunctures experienced in a Hispanic woman's life as she struggled to gain full membership in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) community. Despite having earned a doctoral degree in chemistry and a teaching position in a STEM school, she was cognizant of how gender and race had marginalized her and her minority female students, making them feel like border members of the STEM community. She had formed a solidarity group within the STEM school. As I apply the construct of dyschrony to analyze the in-depth interviews with the teacher, I illuminate tensions in the STEM pipeline and suggest that one should be critical about the promise of social mobility. The forming of solidarity groups may contribute to positive experiences of minority girls in STEM schools. Dyschrony may be used as a helpful analytic construct to unpack the forces contributing to minority women's struggles in STEM fields and understand why they might leave.  相似文献   

Globalising assessment: an ethnography of literacy assessment,camels and fast food in the Mongolian Gobi     

Bryan Maddox 《比较教育学》2014,50(4):474-489

What happens when standardised literacy assessments travel globally? The paper presents an ethnographic account of adult literacy assessment events in rural Mongolia. It examines the dynamics of literacy assessment in terms of the movement and re-contextualisation of test items as they travel globally and are received locally by Mongolian respondents. The analysis of literacy assessment events is informed by Goodwin's ‘participation framework’ on language as embodied and situated interactive phenomena and by Actor Network Theory. Actor Network Theory (ANT) is applied to examine literacy assessment events as processes of translation shaped by an ‘assemblage’ of human and non-human actors (including the assessment texts).  相似文献   

Effects of an Ancient Chinese Mathematics Enrichment Programme on Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Mathematics     

Wee Leng Ng 《International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education》2010,8(1):25-50

Ancient Chinese mathematics has been the focus of many research studies and scholarly works from a historical perspective. However, no move has been made to investigate its role in the teaching and learning of mathematics. This pilot study examined the effects of an Ancient Chinese Mathematics Enrichment Programme (ACMEP) on the academic achievement of second year students from a secondary school in Singapore—a strand of a principal study which had the intent of investigating possible roles of ancient Chinese mathematics in the Singapore secondary school mathematics curriculum. Analysis of covariance was used to examine the difference in mean scores on a variety of formal assessments in mathematics between students who participated in the ACMEP and those who did not. In addition, scores on formal assessments of other relevant subjects were analyzed to further investigate ACMEP’s scope of influence.  相似文献   

关于具有测边导坑和有限岩石覆盖层的隧道开口的离散分析（英文）     

Chia Weng BOON  Chee Wei NEO  David Chew Chiat NG  Victor Chee Wee ONG 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2018,(4)

目的:针对新加坡的花岗岩地质结构,研究将典型马蹄形隧道挖掘成双拱隧道时岩石支撑的设计问题。利用离散元法分析侧边导坑对隧道主体开口的影响。创新点:1.基于平面应变假设,提出一个针对性的离散元模型以分析侧边导坑的设置对主体隧道支撑的影响;2.此模型适用于解决底下长跨度开口的支撑设计问题,如大众捷运系统隧道和紧贴式双孔隧道的建造,补充了传统经验主义的设计方法。方法:1.采用离散元法对马蹄形隧道开口支撑问题进行非连续分析;2.采用二维平面应变模型简化问题。结论:1.离散元法可用于分析有限岩石覆盖层的失效机制,单隧道支撑要求以及增加侧边导坑后的支撑要求;2.模型计算结果显示,侧边导坑的挖掘使得支柱总的螺栓连接作用力增加了一倍。  相似文献
