Mathematical induction: A pedagogical discussion     

Paul Ernest 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》1984,15(2):173-189

It is observed that many students have difficulty in producing correct proofs by the method of mathematical induction. The notion of a correct proof by this method is analysed mathematically. Subsequently, the topic is analysed into behavioural skills and subjected to a conceptual analysis. Common misconception of induction are considered, with recommendations for their remediation. Finally, criteria for the analysis and evaluation of textbook treatments of induction are evolved and applied to a selection of texts.  相似文献

Hospital libraries in West Germany: an overview of reference services.     

S A Hook 《Medical reference services quarterly》1986,5(3):75-84

This article presents a study on reference services in German hospital libraries. Information for the study was obtained through personal interviews conducted at four libraries in Stuttgart, West Germany in August 1985. A detailed questionnaire covering services provided, staff training, and use of computers was used during the interviews. While reference services are minimal at the libraries in the study, the commitment to patient library services in Germany is exceptional.  相似文献

End user searching at Indiana University School of Dentistry: tailoring a program for a specific user group.     

S A Hook 《Medical reference services quarterly》1986,5(4):35-40

While many librarians support the concept of end user searching, they fear that large costs will be incurred with the introduction of such a program. This article describes an economical end user training program which was developed at the Indiana University School of Dentistry. End user training at IUSD is fully self-supporting and has been tailored to meet the needs of a very specialized user group.  相似文献

Root causes of errant ordered radiology exams: Results of a needs assessment     

Benjamin D. Duman  Seung Youn Chyung  Steven W. Villachica  Donald Winiecki 《Performance Improvement》2011,50(1):17-24

A comprehensive needs assessment was conducted at ATA hospital to determine the root causes of a high number of errant radiology orders from requesting physicians. The Human Performance Technology Model, Gilbert's Behavior Engineering Model, and Rummler and Brache's Nine Performance Variables Model guided the needs assessment process. Three solutions were proposed. The development of the long‐term solution, a software utility, has been initiated. The Behavior Engineering Model was used to identify possible solutions to post‐training performance gaps identified during the evaluation.  相似文献

When labels hurt but novelty helps: children's perseveration and flexibility in a card-sorting task     

Yerys BE  Munakata Y 《Child development》2006,77(6):1589-1607

Children often perseverate, repeating prior behaviors when inappropriate. This work tested the roles of verbal labels and stimulus novelty in such perseveration. Three-year-old children sorted cards by one rule and were then instructed to switch to a second rule. In a basic condition, cards had familiar shapes and colors and both rules were stated explicitly. In an uninformative-label condition, cards had familiar shapes and colors, but the first rule was not stated explicitly. In a novel-stimuli condition, both rules were stated explicitly but stimuli were novel on the first sorting dimension. More children switched to the second rule in the uninformative-label and novel-stimuli conditions than in the basic condition. Implications for theories of cognitive flexibility are discussed.  相似文献   

Gifted students with learning disabilities: who are they?     

Lovett BJ  Lewandowski LJ 《Journal of learning disabilities》2006,39(6):515-527

More than 20 years ago, psychologists first described gifted students with learning disabilities (LD). In the past decade, several sets of identification criteria have been proposed for this population. Many of the suggested assessment practices are unsupported by research in psychoeducational assessment, and some have been directly contradicted by recent research. We argue that an uncritical acceptance of the concept of concomitant giftedness and LD has led to unsound identification procedures and to interventions that are not targeted properly. Specific recommendations for future research and implications for current clinical practice are discussed.  相似文献
