An analytical description of Aristotle's enthymeme     

Nancy Harper 《Communication Studies》2013,64(4):304-309

The purpose of this article is to determine what an Aristotelian enthymeme is, and to describe the enthymeme so that we will not only be able to recognize one when we see it, but also so that we will be better able to use the concept as a tool for analyzing argumentative discourse. The analysis reveals five major distinguishing characteristics of enthymemes.  相似文献

The Development of the Year Curriculum Coordinator at Burntwood School     

Charles Harper  & Yvonne Barry 《Pastoral Care in Education》1999,17(4):17-22

This article gives an account of a school in which Year Curriculum Teams were created, consisting of a planned combination of tutors across subject clusters. An enhanced role and perspective for the tutor is described. Subsequent changes were accommodated well by the new system, even though the position regarding tutor continuity was changed. As with other school accounts in this issue, a sense of the particular flavour of the school comes through, alongside the structural themes which may have wide application.

Unique Effects of a Family Literacy Program on the Early Reading Development of English Language Learners     

Sarah Harper  Amy Platt  Janette Pelletier 《Early education and development》2013,24(6):989-1008

Research Findings: The present study evaluated the effects of a Family Literacy program on the early English reading development of speakers of English as a first language (EL1s) and English language learners (ELLs). The study included a linguistically and culturally diverse sample of 132 kindergarten children and their parents. Families in the experimental group participated in a 9-week intervention program that was designed to promote early literacy in the home, whereas those in the control group did not receive the intervention. Both the experimental and control groups included EL1 and ELL children. Dependent variables included children's gains in alphabet knowledge, conventions of print, and meaning. Results indicated that ELL children in the experimental group made greater gains in their knowledge of the alphabet and their ability to infer meaning from print than EL1 children in the experimental group and both ELL and EL1 controls. There were no language group differences in children's gains in conventions of print. Practice or Policy: The results suggest that Family Literacy programs are associated with differential effects on the English reading development of EL1 and ELL children. Educational implications related to the development and implementation of effective Family Literacy programs for diverse communities are discussed.  相似文献   

An Organizational Consultation Framework for School-Based Prevention of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children     

Erin A. Harper  Ann Cale Kruger  Kristen Varjas  Joel Meyers 《Journal of educational and psychological consultation》2013,23(4):401-422

ABSTRACT

The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is a form of childhood sexual abuse involving the sexual exploitation of youth for economic gain. School-based CSEC prevention efforts have increased in recent years. While these efforts represent important progress in school-based efforts to prevent CSEC, the literature indicates that they need to be strengthened. This article presents a school-based organizational consultation framework that may help schools and support personnel to enhance existing school-based CSEC prevention efforts.  相似文献   

Online peer observation: its value in teacher professional development,support and well-being     

Felicity Harper 《International Journal for Academic Development》2013,18(3):264-275

This article discusses an online peer observation project conceived to enhance language-teacher positivity and creativity in synchronous virtual classrooms. Participants worked part-time at the UK’s Open University (OU) in a blended context and came from two different groups distant from each other and geographically dispersed within their own group. As a result of the project, participants perceived an increase in their confidence and greater willingness to experiment. They appreciated better how they fitted into the wider OU teaching community, built new professional friendships and flexible communities of practice, and developed a better understanding of how to progress their own self-development.  相似文献   

From bastard child to a place in Australia’s family; the Federal Government’s role in repositioning Australian soccer as a legitimate,mainstream sport: a qualitative study     

Andy Harper 《Sport in Society》2019,22(11):1816-1833

Abstract

Following over a century on the margins, soccer moved into the mainstream of Australian sports culture in 2003. This resulted from the intervention of the Federal Government via a review into the sport’s governance and structure, the reform led by high-profile recruit Frank Lowy. By 2015, the men’s national team had won the Asian Cup, qualified for three consecutive FIFA World Cup Finals’ appearances and the men’s professional A-League had successfully completed its tenth season. Australian Soccer was now perceived to be part of the sporting mainstream. This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews of a purposive sample from politics, sport and business (N?=?22), and identified four key transformative mechanisms: Federal Government intervention, the recruitment of Frank Lowy, implementing credible governance and structure, and leveraging the game’s traditional popularity. Soccer’s reformation was aimed, in part, to provide Australia greater leverage in Asia, the region where Australia’s interests are significantly influenced by the geo-political axis between the USA and China.  相似文献   

The selection of good search terms     

C.J. van Rijsbergen  D.J. Harper  M.F. Porter 《Information processing & management》1981,17(2):77-91

This paper tackles the problem of how one might select further search terms, using relevance feedback, given the search terms in the query. These search terms are extracted from a maximum spanning tree connecting all the terms in the index term vocabulary. A number of different spanning trees are generated from a variety of association measures. The retrieval effectiveness for the different spanning trees is shown to be approximately the same. Effectiveness is measured in terms of precision and recall, and the retrieval tests are done on three different test collections.  相似文献
