Engaging students as digital citizens     

Lia Blaj-Ward  Kim Winter 《高等教育研究与发展》2019,38(5):879-892

ABSTRACT

Learning and teaching on physical university campuses have been enhanced by digital technology both in formally scheduled learning and teaching events and in the less formal spaces in which the higher education experience unfolds. The digital skills and know-how with which students arrive at university will arguably develop throughout the academic journey, though the extent to which they will underpin students’ growth into digital citizens, that is, confident and competent participants in a broader range of digitally enhanced social and professional communities, is likely to vary. The present article is the outcome of a research project which explored how students experience learning, teaching and communicating through digital technologies on a range of undergraduate courses at a UK university. Focus groups with fifty-five students in different years of study across twenty-three undergraduate courses revealed a nuanced understanding of the notion of ‘digital native’, yet a lack of readiness to link participation in digital spaces to digital citizenship and to articulate attributes of an effective participant in digital communities. The focus groups highlighted inconsistent alignment between personal, academic and professional digital spaces. They clearly signalled a need to explore further the commonalities and points of intersection between the three, moving beyond a skills mindset, and paying particular attention to the way in which participants in higher education construct and take up virtual identities, how they negotiate access to digital environments, the degree of control they are able and ready to exercise over digital spaces, and the contribution that universities can make to facilitate the complex developmental journeys towards digital citizenship.  相似文献   

An Update from the TRANSFER Working Group     

Elizabeth L. Winter 《期刊图书馆员》2013,64(3-4):439-445

TRANSFER is an initiative of the UK Serials Group (UKSG) that seeks to address the issues that can arise when journals change publishers. The TRANSFER Code of Practice, first released in 2008, has made some important strides in improving the process by which journals transfer from one publisher to another. There is still much work to be done, and the TRANSFER Working Group is committed to continuing to develop and disseminate procedures and policies surrounding the transfer of journals between publishers so that the annual movement of journals causes less disruption for all parties involved.  相似文献   

Partners in Collaborative Cataloging: The U.S. Government Printing Office and the University of Montana

Collaboration is a necessity in the current library environment where time, money, and resources are limited. This is particularly noticeable for institutions housing federal government documents. In addition to keeping up with the influx of current publications, federal depository libraries must address historical documents for which bibliographic records are not readily available. This report discusses how the United States Government Printing Office and the University of Montana Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library are working together to increase access to pre-1976 United States Forest Service publications and gray literature within the same subject area.  相似文献   

Predicting Employee Turnover from Friendship Networks     

Thomas Hugh Feeley  Jennie Hwang  George A. Barnett 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(1):56-73

Employees (n=40) at a fast-food restaurant were surveyed about characteristics of their position and their level of satisfaction. Employees were then asked to report with whom they regularly communicated inside and outside the workplace and to indicate how close they were to employees with whom they were linked. Employee turnover was measured after three months had elapsed. A goal of the research was to replicate a model of employee turnover that predicts employees more central in their social network to be less likely to leave, and to test a social support explanation of the centrality model. The results indicated that employees who reported a greater number of out-degree links with friends were less likely to leave. The number of in-degree links with friends did not significantly predict turnover, and neither did network links with peers. Friendship prestige, measured by the number of in-degree links, was strongly correlated with relational closeness and amount of time spent with employees outside the workplace.  相似文献

The state steers by remote control: Standardising teacher education     

Christine Winter 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2013,23(2):153-175

This article questions whether the teacher training standards, (Department for Education and Employment Circular 4/98) have made it more difficult for teacher educators to help student teachers to become critically reflective teachers. It is suggested that, following the introduction of the discourse of the three 'e's', efficiency, economy and effectiveness and the teacher training standards, teacher 'education' has been transformed into teacher 'training' within an ideology of technical rationality. Four classroom-based episodes are introduced to form the contexts through which the teacher education standards are interrogated. It is argued that these standards ignore important issues to do with equality in the classroom and the relationship between education and the state. Ideas are suggested for teaching sessions using the episodes to encourage the development of a critically reflective perspective amongst student teachers.  相似文献   

Student empowerment in an english language enrichment programme: an action research project in Hong Kong     

Gill Plummer  Kerry Newman  Richard Winter 《Educational Action Research》2013,21(2):305-314

This paper describes how students are empowered in an action research project. The author argues that, given the opportunity, students are willing and have the ability to exercise their power to control their learning. In addition, the author contends that the more power students have in deciding what and how to learn, the harder they will work, the stronger their learning motivation will be, and the more they will gain in their learning. The experience gained in this project pointed to three important components of student empowerment efforts, i.e. empowerment through involvement, empowerment through partnership and empowerment through action research.  相似文献

Ein interaktionsbasiertes Modell für den objektorientierten Integrations- und Regressionstest     

Mario Winter 《Informatik - Forschung und Entwicklung》2000,15(3):121-132

Zusammenfassung.   Bei der iterativen, inkrementellen Software-Entwicklung werden Klassen sukzessive spezifiziert, implementiert bzw. ge?ndert oder erweitert, klassengetestet und zu einem ausführbaren Anwendungssystem integriert. Integrations- und Regressionstest stellen dabei besonders wichtige und h?ufig ausgeführte Testaktivit?ten dar, die zudem aufgrund der vielf?ltigen Interaktionsm?glichkeiten in objektorientierten Programmen sehr komplex sind. Integrations- und Regressionstest werden in der Literatur stets separat behandelt, obwohl sie durchaus ?hnliche Teilaktivit?ten beinhalten. Bestehende Ans?tze zum objektorientierten Integrationstest betrachten entweder strukturelle oder verhaltensorientierte Systembeschreibungen. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir das Klassen-Botschaftsdiagramm (KBD) vor, ein Struktur und Verhalten objektorientierter Programme gleicherma?en berücksichtigendes interaktionsbasiertes (Test-)Modell. Wir skizzieren Algorithmen zur ?nderungsanalyse, Ableitung einer Integrationsstrategie und Auswahl von Regressionstestf?llen nach der Modifikation bestehender Klassen. Abschlie?end werden die Ergebnisse einiger mit Smalltalk-80 Klassen durchgeführter Experimente zur Evaluierung des Verfahrens vorgestellt. Eingegangen am 14. Dezember 1999 / Angenommen am 19.

Why Measure Behaviour?     

Sam Winter 《教育心理学》1982,2(3-4):185-195

The upsurge in the use of behavioural change techniques with children in education and residential settings has not always involved an equally strong commitment to behavioural measurement (by which is meant quantitative data collection relating to latency, duration or, most often, frequency of the target behaviour in question). This paper outlines several advantages, other than effectiveness evaluation, which accrue from behavioural measurement; in relation to (a) deciding whether to change behaviour, (b) deciding the type of intervention required, (c) assessment of caregiver skills and commitment, (d) therapeutic effects, (e) reinforcement, (f) analysis of critical variables and (g) analysis of caregiver attitudes and behaviour. Case examples are included throughout.  相似文献
