Poetry – Primary School Pupils’ Knowledge and Attitudes with Specific Reference to Year 5     

Geoff Fenwick  Denis Burns 《Literacy》1997,31(3):60-63

It is probably true to say that poetry for children is still a fairly neglected area of study. There have been very few studies which have attempted to ascertain what primary pupils prefer in poetry. Such information is vital if teachers are to build upon their pupils’ tastes and experiences. Geoff Fenwick and Denis Burns here discuss the results of a small scale look at children’s poetry preferences. They raise several points which will be of interest to primary teachers interested in using poetry with their classes.  相似文献   

Gold coated optical fibers as three-dimensional electrodes for microfluidic enzymatic biofuel cells: Toward geometrically enhanced performance     

Denis Desma?le  Louis Renaud  Sophie Tingry 《Biomicrofluidics》2015,9(4)

For the first time, we report on the preliminary evaluation of gold coated optical fibers (GCOFs) as three-dimensional (3D) electrodes for a membraneless glucose/O₂ enzymatic biofuel cell. Two off-the-shelf 125 μm diameter GCOFs were integrated into a 3D microfluidic chip fabricated via rapid prototyping. Using soluble enzymes and a 10 mM glucose solution flowing at an average velocity of 16 mm s⁻¹ along 3 mm long GCOFs, the maximum power density reached 30.0 ± 0.1 μW cm⁻² at a current density of 160.6 ± 0.3 μA cm⁻². Bundles composed of multiple GCOFs could further enhance these first results while serving as substrates for enzyme immobilization.  相似文献   

Quality of religious education in Croatia assessed from teachers’ perspective     

Denis Barić  Josip Burušić 《British Journal of Religious Education》2015,37(3):293-310

The main aim of the present study was to examine the quality of religious education in Croatian primary schools when assessed from teachers’ perspective. Religious education teachers (N?=?226) rated the impact of certain factors on the existing quality of religious education in primary schools and expressed their expectations about the future status of this aspect of education. In addition, teachers rated different sources of their professional satisfaction as religious education teachers. We identified understandable latent dimensions of teachers’ opinions, expectations and satisfaction where retained dimensions are modestly interrelated. The conducted regression analyses suggest that teachers with different professional status-related personal attributes are fairly uniform in their views, expectations and satisfactions. An interesting finding of this study concerns the relationship between school-based Catholic religious education and the parish-based catechesis, where an existing relationship represents a weak source of religious education teachers’ satisfaction. This represents a valuable empirically driven insight regarding the Catholic religious education in Croatian schools with some importance to the broader context of religious education in general.  相似文献   

Modernizing schooling through performance management: a critical appraisal     

Denis Gleeson  Chris Husbands 《教育政策杂志》2013,28(5):499-511

This paper examines the ways in which a culture of performance has impacted on schooling in the English setting and draws parallels with other post‐industrializing nations. There is a growing awareness amongst researchers and practitioners that improving the quality of teaching and learning through performance management is not working. In education policy terms the UK Government has made much of the importance of modernizing the teaching profession in raising levels of achievement, attainment, and success in schools and colleges. The proposed trade‐off for teachers is improved pay for improved standards. Advocates of such reform point to the benefits derived from greater devolution of market principles to frontline professionals which, it is argued, enhance performance, remuneration, and motivation (Barber 2001). Critics, on the other hand, have criticized the deprofessionalizing tendency of tying performance management to government targets, which fail to connect with the contextual realities of teaching and learning in the classroom or education workplace (Elliott 2001, Merson 2001). Recently such criticism was rejected by the (then) Secretary of State for Education as cynicism. ‘In education it is those who offer cynicism in the guise of experience who can drive young teachers to look for other careers. We shall always try to combat cynicism wherever it threatens progress on standards’ (Morris 2001: 9). This paper seeks to avoid such inference by arguing for greater authenticity in the way education practice might drive, rather than being driven by, the policy and performance agenda.  相似文献   

C S Smith’s development of a viewpoint     

Denis Weaire  Ken Brakke 《Resonance》2006,11(6):31-41

Cyril Smith’s distinguished career in industrial metallurgy was wonderfully transformed into his masterful engagement with the history of science and technology. These two phases were bridged by a piece of research that particularly pleased him, as epitomising his general ideas of form and organisation. It was based on his conception of the 2D soap froth as a prototype for metallic grain growth (and much else). He rightly sensed that it would be an enduring source of understanding of some of the complex effects that he so admired in materials.  相似文献

Reflection on Teaching: Types and Goals of Reflection     

Lynn McAlpine  Cynthia Weston  Denis Berthiaume  Gail Fairbank-Roch  Michele Owen 《Educational Research and Evaluation》2013,19(4-6):337-363

We describe an elaboration of an empirical cognitive model of reflection (McAlpine, Weston, Beauchamp, Wiseman, & Beauchamp, 1999). Specifically, we explain 2 fundamental constructs in the model that were previously less well understood: goal and type of reflection.  相似文献
