The relationship between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition and the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement     

Claire Lavin 《Psychology in the schools》1996,33(2):119-123

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III; Wechsler, 1991) and the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (K-TEA; Kaufman & Kaufman, 1985) are commonly used in the identification of children for special educational services. However, there is little evidence about the relationship between these two tests among children with handicapping conditions. This study examined the relationship between the WISC-III IQs and K-TEA standard scores in a sample of 72 children with emotional handicaps. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between scores on these instruments. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献   

Clinical applications of the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale: Fourth edition to reading instruction of children with learning disabilities     

Claire Lavin 《Psychology in the schools》1995,32(4):255-263

When children are referred to psychologists for evaluation, the most useful resulting information for the classroom teacher is not a label but suggestions regarding instruction. In its present format, the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition (SB:FE; Thorndike, Hagen, & Sattler, 1986) lends itself to the selection of instructional strategies in reading for children with learning problems. The data on cognitive skills obtained from the SB:FE provide important insights into cognitive strengths and weaknesses that may be related to academic functioning. Although there is no one-to-one correspondence between scores on a particular subtest and performance in a particular academic area, clinical interpretation of SB:FE test data can help psychologists answer the question, “How do I teach him to read?”  相似文献   

‘A lesson in football wisdom’? Coverage of the unofficial women’s World Cup of 1971 in the Mexican press     

Claire Brewster 《Sport in History》2019,39(2):147-165

ABSTRACT

When Mexico hosted the 1971 Women’s World Cup, it raised considerable challenges for local journalists. The domestic game had never received significant press attention, but mounting public interest in such a prestigious tournament demanded a response from national and sporting newspapers. In this chapter, we analyse the extent to which the masculine hegemonic environment of the newsroom dictated the perspective, language, and imagery deployed by journalists in their reports. While underlying sexism and cynicism characterised more traditional, conservative sections of the printed media, our analysis reveals a surprising degree of willingness to adapt and learn new ways. In tracing the dynamics of this process we assess the extent to which a more enlightened appreciation of Mexican women’s football only lasted for as long as they continued to win matches.  相似文献   

Visualising the Interdisciplinary Research Field: The Life Cycle of Economic History in Australia     

Claire Wright  Simon Ville 《Minerva》2017,55(3):321-340

Interdisciplinary research is frequently viewed as an important component of the research landscape through its innovative ability to integrate knowledge from different areas. However, support for interdisciplinary research is often strategic rhetoric, with policy-makers and universities frequently adopting practices that favour disciplinary performance. We argue that disciplinary and interdisciplinary research are complementary, and we develop a simple framework that demonstrates this for a semi-permanent interdisciplinary research field. We argue that the presence of communicating infrastructures fosters communication and integration between disciplines and the interdisciplinary research field to generate innovative knowledge. We apply this to the experience of economic history in Australia in the second half of the twentieth century to demonstrate the life cycle of a semi-permanent interdisciplinary research field.  相似文献   

Understanding the experiences of bilingual,Latino/a adolescents: Voices from gifted and general education     

Elizabeth Shaunessy  Patricia Alvarez McHatton  Claire Hughes  Alejandro Brice  Mary Ann Ratliff 《Roeper Review》2013,35(3):174-182

Eight gifted and eight general‐education students engaged in discussions regarding their observations of, experiences in, and recommendations for education. Six categories emerged through qualitative analysis of their conversations. These categories include: problem solving, task commitment, self‐perceptions, education, communication, and discrimination. Content within each category provides a glimpse into the students’ perceptions of their schooling experiences. The roles of ethnic identity development, identification with majority culture, adolescence, and gifted‐ness are examined and recommendations for future research are provided.  相似文献   

Teaching Philosophy and Methods of Restorative Care to Assisted Living Owners and Staff     

Bonnie L. Walker  Claire S. Cole 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(1):28-36

To implement restorative care in assisted living facilities, staff need to understand the philosophy and learn methods to help residents maintain optimal function. In this study, the researchers developed a multimedia training program designed to teach staff how to encourage residents to increase their participation in dressing themselves. Researchers conducted a pilot test to measure the short-term effects of the training on 40 staff from two states. Program effects were measured by completing a survey developed by the researchers. Pretest scores were significantly related to gender (women as a group had higher scores than men). Results indicated significant gains in knowledge at posttest. In addition, 93% of participants described positive changes related to restorative care that they planned to make at their facility as a result of the training.  相似文献   

The effect of life-experience credits on admissions to graduate school     

Claire Watsky 《Innovative Higher Education》1978,2(3):232-236

The results of a 13-item questionnaire mailed to all graduates of the Division of General Studies of Iona College, New Rochelle, N.Y., who had received life-experience credits as part of their undergraduate degree are presented. The purpose of the study was to determine the acceptability of life-experience credits by graduate schools in order to provide students with accurate information in advising them about postgraduate plans, to determine if there were a trend toward or away from acceptability of nontraditional credentialing and, if necessary, to be an advocate for our students and the concept of life-experience credentialing.  相似文献
