Determining where physical therapists get information to support clinical practice decisions     

Dennis W. Fell  Judy F. Burnham  Jon M. Dockery 《Health information and libraries journal》2013,30(1):35-48

Objective

To determine the information sources utilised by physical therapists (PTs) to support clinical decisions.

Methods

Physical therapists in the United States were invited via professional listservs and electronic newsletters to participate in an online survey.

Results

Journal articles were the most frequently utilised source of information, followed by databases (PubMed was most frequent). The frequency of utilising evidence‐based resources was not significantly affected by the number of years of experience as a physical therapist (PT), working in a state that allows direct access to PT services or doctoral vs masters/bachelors degree.

Conclusions

Compared with a previous study (1994), there has been a transition in physical therapy information seeking, with greater reliance on evidence‐based information.  相似文献   

Conditions of Success of a School's Self-Evaluation: Some Lessons of an European Experience     

Denis Meuret  Sophie Morlaix 《School Effectiveness & School Improvement》2013,24(1):53-71

This study uses data from an European Project on school self-evaluation. A hundred and one schools experimented with self-evaluation and reported on what they did and what were the outcomes of the process. It is therefore possible to look at which characteristics of the process are associated with a positive appreciation of its effects. This analysis is conducted by confronting 2 general models of self-evaluation, named here the “technical” and the “participating” models. The 2 models are presented, then their ability to explain the success of a process of self-evaluation is compared. The explaining power of both models appears to show similarities, a result which makes it relevant to look at their optimal combination.  相似文献   

Relational Reasoning and Its Manifestations in the Educational Context: a Systematic Review of the Literature     

Denis Dumas  Patricia A. Alexander  Emily M. Grossnickle 《Educational Psychology Review》2013,25(3):391-427

Relational reasoning, the ability to discern meaningful patterns within otherwise unconnected information, is regarded as central to human learning and cognition and as particularly critical for those functioning in today’s information age. However, the literature on this foundational ability is currently housed within a range of domains of inquiry, where divergent terminology and methodologies are commonplace. This dispersion has made it difficult to harness the power of existing work to inform future research or guide educational practice. In order to address this lack of consolidation, a systematic review of relational reasoning was undertaken. Specifically, 109 empirical studies dealing with relational reasoning in general or one of four manifestations (i.e., analogy, anomaly, antinomy, and antithesis) were analyzed. Resulting data revealed trends across fields of inquiry, including a degree of conceptual ambiguity, conceptual and operational misalignment, and a lack of ecological validity in certain research paradigms. There were also particular forms and measures of relational reasoning that were more commonly investigated, as well as certain domains that were more often studied. Implications for how future research can examine relational reasoning as a multidimensional construct within educational contexts are also discussed.  相似文献   

Motor Proficiency Traits of Deaf Children     

Denis Brunt  Geoffrey D. Broadhead 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(3):236-238

Abstract

This study examined the physical, psychological and perceptual/visual variables related to elite archers' shooting performance. Complete data on 62 variables were obtained on male (n = 44) and female (n = 35) archers, who were tested during the years 1982-1984. In order to reduce the number of variables, only those that correlated significantly with performance (r > .25, p < .005) were retained. This yielded seven variables. These variables were then combined into an overall hierarchical regression model. The overall model was significant (p <.001, adjusted R² = .53). This analysis indicated that relative leg strength, reaction time, depth perception, endomorphy, imagery usage, confidence, and focus on past mistakes were variables associated with archery performance. Finally, the total sample was classified into two groups on the basis of the shooting scores. Discriminant function analysis indicated that 81% of the archers were classified correctly on the basis of these significant predictors.  相似文献

The conception of simulacrics     

C. Denis Pegge 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》1959,7(2):24-36

In this paper, the author presents a concept he calls“simulacrics” and suggests its development into a future science of lifelike representation in motion picture films. C. Denis Pegge formerly taught in the engineering department of Cambridge University, having organized its Educational Film Council. He is now engaged in writing.  相似文献   

Angle between choice alleys as a critical factor in spontaneous alternation     

Robert J. Douglas  Denis Mitchell  Robert Del Valle 《Learning & behavior》1974,2(3):218-220

Rats were tested for spontaneous alternation in a variety of mazes differing in the angle between choice alleys. Uniformly high alternation rates were found at all angles from 330 down to 90 deg. At 45 or 0 deg, the rates approximated a chance 50%, and at angles between 45 and 90 deg the alternation rates were also intermediate. The hypothesis that the spatial distance between goal regions is the critical factor was rejected, and it was concluded that the angle between alleys is the principal factor determining alternation under these conditions. The results support the idea that alternation in the rat is basically a vestibular phenomenon.  相似文献   

Development of a research specialty: Instructional psychology portrayed in The Annual Review of Psychology     

Robert J. Menges  Denis L. Girard 《Instructional Science》1983,12(1):83-98

The relatively new research specialty, instructional psychology, has been the topic of five chapters in the Annual Review of Psychology. Development of this specialty is studied through content analysis and citation analysis of these chapters. Cognitive structure of the field is found to be more converging than diverging and more conforming than radical. Social structure shows growth without divergence and a close fit with established institutions. The field would be enriched through greater attention to research being conducted outside the United States and to research reflecting conceptions and methods in addition to those from the experimental-quantitative tradition.  相似文献   

Combining new technologies for effective collection development: a bibliometric study using CD-ROM and a database management program.     

J F Burnham  B S Shearer  J C Wall 《Bulletin of the Medical Library Association》1992,80(2):150-156

Librarians have used bibliometrics for many years to assess collections and to provide data for making selection and deselection decisions. With the advent of new technology--specifically, CD-ROM databases and reprint file database management programs--new cost-effective procedures can be developed. This paper describes a recent multidisciplinary study conducted by two library faculty members and one allied health faculty member to test a bibliometric method that used the MEDLINE and CINAHL databases on CD-ROM and the Papyrus database management program to produce a new collection development methodology.  相似文献
