Discrimination Against Women as a Subtext of Excellence     

Scott B. Watson 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2013,65(4):510-522

In this paper an argument for the proposition that emphasizing the pursuit of excellence in sport is discriminatory against women is presented. The argument is developed in three stages. First, a definition of “discrimination” is proposed and discussed. Second, the idea of sport as a quest for excellence is traced through various interpretations of the meaning of sport. Third, excellence is discussed as a socially constructed concept and phenomenon. The dominant social meaning of excellence as a supreme achievement is confronted with the gender consequences of emphasizing the pursuit of excellence in sport. The argument concludes that alongside the primary texts of the glories and triumphs of excellence runs a subtext of inequality and gender discrimination.  相似文献

Post-secular schooling: freedom through faith or diversity in community   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jacqueline Elizabeth Watson 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2013,43(2):147-162

Post-secularism and neo-liberalism have converged in education policy and theory to generate a new enthusiasm for faith schools, along with criticism of the publicly-funded common or community school. However, in a post-secular social context, where religious and spiritual pluralism exponentially increases, and belief positions are both polarised and syncretised, the democratic notion of the common or community school appears even more crucial to address community understanding. There need to be strong reasons, therefore, for abandoning the common or community school in favour of faith schools. This article presents a critique of recent key philosophical defences of the public funding of faith schools, put forward by Richard Pring and Harry Brighouse, and by the Christian educationalist, Trevor Cooling. It also gives support to Michael Fielding and Peter Moss’ arguments for radicalising and reforming the common school, to enable it to be a community for understanding in an increasingly challenging post-secular environment.  相似文献   

Technology: Education and Training Needs of Older Adults     

Lesa Huber  Carol Watson 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(1):16-25

The impact of the global aging of the population on social, economic, political, and health care institutions is unequaled. Parallel to this, evolving developments in technology promise opportunities for sales and product development to support positive aging. Older adults are excited to utilize technologies that they perceive as practical. However, age, education, technical knowledge, and technological anxiety affect interest in new technologies, creating a technology divide. Providing more accessible and relevant technologies for today's older adults may make the technology more universally accessible. This article reports the results of a survey on technology and education among a sample of 77 adults between the ages of 52 and 92 who attended a week-long lifelong-learning event at Indiana University. Familiarity with technology, age, education, and gender were found to be correlated with familiarity with new technologies as well as operating and shopping for new electronic devices.  相似文献

The Effect of Method of Instruction on Long‐term Retention of Mathematics Concepts     

Jane M. Watson 《高等教育研究与发展》1986,5(2):135-146

This paper presents the final report of an extended study which assessed the viability of individualised tertiary mathematics instruction in Australia. Data collected over five years between 1978 and 1984 gave information on three treatments: a personalised system of instruction based closely on the Keller Plan with no final examination, a conventional lecture course with final examination and a modified personalised system including lectures. Long‐term retention of concepts was used as the major criterion for judging success of the methods. Results favouring students taught in the conventional manner have led to a questioning of the original precepts of the personalised system as developed by Keller.  相似文献

Does Political Advertising Lead to Online Information Seeking? A Real-World Test Using Google Search Data     

Elizabeth Housholder  Brendan R. Watson  Susan LoRusso 《广播与电子媒介杂志》2018,62(2):337-353

Though the political advertising literature has documented the effects of political advertising on political attitudes and voting behavior, less attention has been paid to the role of political advertising in stimulating information search. This study seeks to examine the impact of political advertising on real world information seeking using CMAG data from the Wisconsin Ad Project combined with Google Trends search data. Results suggest that increased advertising volume is associated with increased online information seeking. Additionally, this study tests the feasibility of using Google Trends search data as a proxy measure of political information seeking.  相似文献
