Homeless Children and Youth at Risk: The Educational Impact of Displacement     

Joseph Murphy 《Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk》2013,18(1):38-55

We know that homelessness creates conditions of risk for homeless children and youth (e.g., malnutrition, missing parental support, affiliation with deviant peers, disconnect from schooling, and so forth). Researchers also document that these states of risk have devastating physical, emotional, social, and educational impacts on young people. In this article, we explore the final issue—how displacement affects the educational well-being of homeless children and youth. We begin our review with a variable—mobility—that has a good deal of explanatory power for the educational impacts examined. We conclude with the consequences of homelessness that follow displaced children and youth into adulthood. In between we discuss an assortment of outcome factors: placement in special education, attendance, academic success, and graduation.  相似文献   

Consultation With Professional Peers: A National Survey of the Practices of School Psychologists     

Joseph E. Zins  John J. Murphy 《Journal of educational and psychological consultation》2013,23(2-3):175-184

There is an increasing need for education professionals to keep abreast of new research and developments in their fields. The peer support group, which is characterized by the sharing of expertise and knowledge, the provision of mutual support, and joint problem solving among professional colleagues, has been advanced as promising means of promoting professional growth and development. This article reports the results of an exploratory national survey of school psychologists' involvement in peer support groups (PSGs) that was undertaken to identify the potential contributions of such activities to improving professional practice. Nearly 64% of the respondents indicated involvement in a PSG at some point in their careers, with almost 50% currently participating in one. Several benefits were attributed to group membership, and it was suggested that further research efforts are needed to clarify the essential components that contribute to group effectiveness.  相似文献

感召力膜拜和世界一流大学     

Jerry Murphy 《中国大学教学》2005,(8):56-57

让我们从目前全世界所关注的话题,也就是所谓的世界一流大学谈起。它被人们如此频繁的提及,已成了陈词滥调。我要谈的是人们究竟期望这些学校取得什么样的成绩,但在此之前,我们需要先搞清楚为什么当今人们的期望会如此高。高度期望答案非常简单:在人类有历史以来,没有什么比教育更重要的了。每一个人都认同这一点,即良好的教育对学生个人的成功是非常重要的。同时良好的教育对一个国家的富强也是非常重要的。虽然这个观点存在很大的争议,但它仍被人们广泛接受。对于个人来说,学校教育是非常重要的。因为生活中机会的多少直接取决于个人的知…  相似文献   

On the Boundaries of Framing Terrorism: Guilt,Victimization, and the 2016 Orlando Shooting     

Nathan Walter  Thomas J. Billard  Sheila T. Murphy 《Mass Communication and Society》2017,20(6):849-868

The 2016 Orlando shooting offers an intriguing lens through which to evaluate the boundaries of media frames in the interpretation of terrorism. Using an experimental design (N = 243), the current study investigated the effects of two dominant frames—the homophobic hate crime and the Islamic terrorist frame—on collective guilt, collective victimization, and pro–lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) political action. In addition, political partisanship and social network diversity were evaluated as potential moderators. Compared to the Islamic terrorist frame, exposure to the homophobic hate crime frame increased collective guilt and decreased collective victimization, subsequently enhancing support for the LGBTQ community. Moreover, social network diversity was shown to override the framing effect, as individuals who reported high diversity were more likely to sign a petition in solidarity with the LGBTQ community, irrespective of frame condition.  相似文献   

The formative and summative uses of a Professional Development Portfolio: a Maltese case study   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Deborah Chetcuti  Patricia Murphy  Grace Grima 《Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice》2006,13(1):97-112

The paper examines the rationale and the uses of portfolios in initial teacher education. This rationale is then applied to explore the development and implementation of the Professional Development Portfolio (PDP) as an integral part of the initial teacher education programme offered by the Faculty of Education, University of Malta. The paper considers the responses of students and lecturers to this mode of assessment; in particular, how the tensions between the formative and summative functions of portfolios were experienced and responded to at institutional level. The paper is the result of the debates and discussions among the three authors. Deborah Chetcuti and Grace Grima were directly involved in the development of the assessment innovation, Patricia Murphy was a visiting academic and external examiner during the period.  相似文献   

Space and the Social Worth of Public Libraries     

Donald A. Barclay 《Public Library Quarterly》2017,36(4):267-273

In spite of the growth of digital information and the resultant questioning by some of the value of public libraries, library usage data indicate there were 497,600,000 more visits to public libraries in 2013 than in 1993. Why do people still visit public libraries in the digital age? While many factors drive people to visit public libraries, one thing that public libraries offer that cannot be duplicated online is physical space. Over the decades, library space has been the glue holding the library universe together even as the specific activities that take inside libraries have evolved. While public libraries do an excellent job of promoting their important role in providing access to information, educational resources, technology, and a host of valuable services, they must also promote the value of public library space itself. This requires more than trotting out numbers; it requires telling compelling stories of how public library space is used and reminding the public that the kind of spaces public libraries provide are, in fact, a vanishing resource. The post-911 tightening of security in public buildings of all sorts—coupled with the increasing privatization of what were once public spaces—has left public libraries as perhaps the last remaining indoor public spaces where an individual can remain from opening until closing without needing any reason to be there and without having to spend any money. Public libraries should promote the uniqueness of their spaces in much the same way that National Parks promote the unique spaces they preserve and make available to the public.  相似文献   

A New Student Learning Focus for the Academic Library: From Geographical Proximity of the Learning Commons to Organizational Proximity within the Library     

Jo Ann F. Murphy 《图书馆管理杂志》2017,57(7):742-757

In 2015, student learning programs at the University of Saskatchewan moved organizationally to the university library. While these services resided physically in the library as part of the Learning Commons partnership, this recent change presents the library with a new focus and responsibility for broader student learning support and academic skill development. Highlighting examples of organizational integration of student learning support, this article uses a proximity perspective, suggesting that geographical proximity of services in the learning commons does not go far enough to achieve the deeper collaboration and integration necessary for holistic and integrated learning, and that organizational proximity is needed.  相似文献
