The effects of social isolation on two shock-induced aggressive responses in rats     

John F. Knutson  Neal Kane 《Learning & behavior》1980,8(1):167-170

This experiment investigated the effects of social isolation during development and during adulthood on the topography of the shock-induced aggressive behavior of rats. Rats isolated during development from weaning to adulthood displayed more shock-induced biting than rats housed in groups during that period. Isolation during development did not affect the frequency of the upright boxing behavior, but isolation during adulthood reduced the frequency of the boxing response regardless of rearing conditions during development.  相似文献   

Forms of capital and agency as mediations in negotiating employability of international graduate migrants     

Thanh Pham  Michael Tomlinson  Chris Thompson 《Globalisation, Societies & Education》2019,17(3):394-405

This study deployed a qualitative approach to explore an alternative perspective regarding graduate migrants’ employability. Twenty graduate migrants in Australia participated in in-depth interviews. Findings revealed graduate migrants faced various challenges in the target labour market, and to successfully secure employment it was important for them to develop key forms of capital – i.e., excellent technical knowledge, relationships with ‘significant others’, strong career identity and psychological resilience, and exercise agency in interlinking these capitals so that they could make use of their strengths and coat weaknesses. Results from the study imply that managing, teaching, and professional staff members should collaborate closely to develop well-rounded programmes to sufficiently equip international students with multidimensional resources.  相似文献   

International students in transnational mobility: intercultural connectedness with domestic and international peers,institutions and the wider community     

Ly Thi Tran  Lien Pham 《Compare》2016,46(4):560-581

International students’ connectedness with their peers, institutions and the broader community significantly affects their learning and wellbeing. It is important to understand their multiple desires for intercultural connectedness in order to nurture it. This paper analyses the motives and nature of international students’ intercultural connectedness. It is based on a study that includes more than 150 interviews and fieldwork with international students and staff from 25 vocational education colleges in Australia. Drawing on Blumer’s symbolic interactionism theory as a conceptual framework, the study found international students’ motivation to engage in intercultural connectedness is linked to not only their desire for respect and recognition for intellectual, cultural and linguistic capacities and diversities but also for employment aspirations. The research shows various dimensions in which intercultural engagement is seen to encompass not only empathy, sociability and equity but also employability. The findings suggest meaningful interaction is essentially bound to reciprocal learning.  相似文献   

Inferences About Variance Components and Reliability-Generalizability Coefficients in the Absence of Random Sampling     

Michael Kane 《Journal of Educational Measurement》2002,39(2):165-181

Generalizability theory (G theory) employs random-effects ANOVA to estimate the variance components included in generalizability coefficients, standard errors, and other indices of precision. The ANOVA models depend on random sampling assumptions, and the variance-component estimates are likely to be sensitive to violations of these assumptions. Yet, generalizability studies do not typically sample randomly. This kind of inconsistency between assumptions in statistical models and actual data collection procedures is not uncommon in science, but it does raise fundamental questions about the substantive inferences based on the statistical analyses. This article reviews criticisms of sampling assumptions in G theory (and in reliability theory) and examines the feasibility of using representative sampling, stratification, homogeneity assumptions, and replications to address these criticisms.  相似文献   

The generalizability of student ratings of instructors: Item specificity and section effects     

Terence J. Crooks  Michael T. Kane 《Research in higher education》1981,15(4):305-313

A number of recent studies have used generalizability theory to examine the dependability of student ratings of instruction. This study extends this line of research by examining the consistency of ratings between different sections of a course taught in a given semester by the same instructor, and by comparing the performance of global- and attribute-type instructor rating items. Five samples of physics instructors, varying in size from 5 to 12 instructors, were rated by their students on a form containing two global and eight attribute items. Each instructor taught two sections of a course. The study found that the section effect was small (ratings of instructors were consistent across different sections of the same course), and that the generalizability of ratings was substantially influenced by item specificity. For summary purposes, one global item seemed sufficient.  相似文献   

‘I was dead restorative today’: from restorative justice to restorative approaches in school     

G. McCluskey  G. Lloyd  J. Stead  J. Kane  S. Riddell  E. Weedon 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2008,38(2):199-216

This paper explores definitions and understandings of restorative practices in education. It offers a critique of current theoretical models of restorative justice originally derived from the criminal justice system and now becoming popular in educational settings. It questions the appropriateness of these concepts as they are being introduced to schools in parts of the UK and refers to a recent Scottish Executive funded pilot initiative to implement restorative practices in schools. The paper then reflects on some findings from the evaluation of this pilot project, outlines a new notion of restorative approaches and suggests that this broader conceptualisation may offer an important way in which to promote social justice in education and to reassess the importance and inevitability of conflicting social interaction and structures inherent in schools as complex social institutions.  相似文献   

BioOne and SPIE: A reflection on the first 3 years of the nonprofit platform partnership     

Patrick Franzen  Lauren Kane  Scott Ritchey 《Learned Publishing》2023,36(2):307-311

• There is great potential for organizations to form collaborative partnerships, particularly in the nonprofit environment, which can reduce costs and aid in strategic development.
• Regular and transparent communication with internal and external stakeholders is critical to the health of any partnership, especially when doing something new or novel.
• Reciprocal service-level agreements with clear expectations and ongoing evaluation ensure the collaboration keeps pace with commercial alternatives.
• The SPIE-BioOne partnership was built to scale and incorporate future collaborators to further reduce costs and bring new ideas to the user group.
