What teachers need to know about the struggle for self-determination (conscientization) and self-regulation: adults with disabilities speak about their education experiences     

Rosario Diaz-Greenberg  Jacqueline Thousand  Maria Cardelle-Elawar  Ann Nevin 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2000,16(8):663

The purpose of this paper is to help teachers better understand the struggles that people with disabilities experience in attaining their educational goals and to encourage the development of teaching and learning strategies that help to respect and facilitate the struggle itself. The authors share the generative themes that emerged using a critical pedagogy approach (dialogic interviews) to elicit the voices of adults with disabilities speaking about their public school experiences. In discussing the implications for teachers, the authors show the intersections of educational psychology's concept self-regulation and critical pedagogy's concept conscientization and special education’ s concept self-determination. Why the ‘struggle’ itself is important (from the perspectives provided by conscientization, self-regulation, and self determination) is discussed.The major question is whether or not teachers can structure the awareness process that results in learners becoming aware enough to verbalize, “I have difficulties”. What do teachers do to stimulate the metacognitive thinking processes that makes it possible for students with disabilities to think, “I can monitor myself!”? How can teachers capture the power of the conscientization experience that leads students with disabilities to experience the generative will power “to use the powers that I have to make a difference in my life's situation?” How do adults with disabilities come to these kinds of awareness and how can teachers help facilitate the awareness?  相似文献   

The relationship between shoulder alignment and elbow joint angle in cricket fast-medium bowlers     

Roca M  Elliott B  Alderson J  Foster D 《Journal of sports sciences》2006,24(11):1127-1135

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between shoulder alignment and elbow angle during the delivery action of fast-medium bowlers. The elbow and upper trunk alignment were recorded for 13 high-performance bowlers (mean age 20 years) using a 12-camera Vicon motion analysis system operating at 250 Hz. The three highest velocity trials for "good" and "short" length deliveries were analysed. Results showed that bowlers with a more front-on shoulder alignment at back-foot impact and when the upper arm was horizontal to the ground experienced a significantly greater elbow flexion--extension range when compared with those who had a more side-on orientation at the same point in the delivery action. Bowlers with greater shoulder counter-rotation also recorded higher elbow flexion and subsequently extension during the period from upper arm horizontal to ball release. Shoulder alignment and elbow angles were similar for "short" and "good" length deliveries. It was concluded that bowlers with a more front-on shoulder orientation at back-foot impact demonstrated a higher elbow extension from upper arm horizontal to ball release and are therefore more likely to infringe International Cricket Council elbow tolerance levels, compared with those who adopt a more side-on shoulder orientation at back-foot impact.  相似文献   

Language adaptations: Award-winning children’s literature in basal textbook readers     

Jacqueline C. Comas 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1989,5(2):16-34

One frequent complaint about basal readers is that, when they adapt high-quality literature, they make pointless simplifications that significantly detract from the value of the original stories. This article reports a study of adaptations of award-winning stories for three grade levels. The results suggest strongly that, at least during the past fifteen years, these complaints are unjustified. Jacqueline C. Comas is assistant professor of education at the University of Florida in Gainesville where she teaches courses in language arts and children's literature. She is a former classroom teacher, has served as a reading consultant, a reading/language arts supervisor, and has worked with textbook adoption committees for the improvement of instructional materials since the late 1970s.  相似文献   

Latent scrutiny: personal archives as perpetual mementos of the official gaze     

Jacqueline Z. Wilson  Frank Golding 《Archival Science》2016,16(1):93-109

This article examines the significance, in the lives of those who experienced out-of-home care as children, of the archived records of their institutionalisation. The affective ramifications of accessing the records as adults are discussed, with especial focus on the records’ capacity to revive past suffering. Drawing on the work of Bruner (Crit Inq Autumn 1–21,1991, Consumption and everyday life, Sage, London, 1997) and MacIntyre (After virtue: a study in moral theory, University of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, 1981), a ‘narrative’ model of the self is utilised to account for the negative effect of systemic flaws in the records’ original composition. Such flaws, it is argued, have the potential to disrupt the individual’s sense of self. Both the authors, who experienced out-of-home care as children, present their own experiences of accessing the records, as case studies. The records’ manifold inaccuracies and inadequacies are interpreted in the light of prevailing welfare practices, in particular a highly damaging judgemental paradigm of gendered and moralistic assumptions of the inferior character of those in care. The authors conclude by arguing that research into the archives should involve the direct participation, as ‘insider researchers’, of those who experienced the matters contained in the records. Such participation is essential if the process of revealing and interpreting the archives is to maintain the dignity of the records’ subject individuals, and ensure the integrity of the research.  相似文献   

THE ARTS AND THE AGING ADVOCACY MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES: A HISTORIC PERSPECTIVE     

Jacqueline T. Sunderland 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(2):195-205

Attention is directed to a human development movement begun in earnest in the early 1970s to put older Americans in touch with their creative selves. This article traces steps taken in this national effort and suggests issues and policies to be addressed if educational opportunities in the arts are to increase for older adults.  相似文献

America's Ghettos: A Pedagogy for Urban and Rural Hope     

Jacqueline Edmondson 《Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies》2013,35(2):201-222

The dominant image of the “ghetto” is of idle black men drinking forty‐ounce bottles of malt liquor and young black women “with distended bellies, their youthful faces belying the fact that they are often close to delivering their second or third child.” (Kelley, 1997, p. 127)

The disintegration of rural America is largely an invisible crisis ... you would never guess anything is wrong. From [the Interstate] you drive for hours passing fields of corn and beans that cover the horizon in lines as straight as a table's edge ... Everything you see speaks of abundance and prosperity…. The creation of rural ghettos is a complex process. (Davidson, 1996, p. 10‐11)  相似文献
