How Administrators Can Influence Student University Selection Criteria     

H. Lois Patton 《Higher Education in Europe》2000,25(3):345-350

Five main stages generally make up the decision-making processes of transnational students as they select a university. These stages involve problem recognition, search behaviour, evaluative criteria, and purchase and post-purchase evaluation. This article investigates the decision-making processes of international students, particularly selection criteria, relative to attending an overseas university. The study upon which it is based revealed that while many variables such as course offerings, facilities, distance, and fees are important, the major force behind selection criteria is word-of-mouth communication. The research, undertaken with approximately 400 students enrolled in Southeast Asian programmes offered by an Australian university in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, and with transnational students studying in Australia, is described. Strategy options are suggested by which business faculties can take advantage of word-of-mouth communication to enhance transnational offerings.  相似文献

Producing Whiteness: An exploration of working-class white men in two contexts1     

Lois Weis  Susan Lyons Lombardo 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2002,23(1):5-25

In this essay we enter the terrain of 'whiteness' studies, drawing upon data gathered in two ethnographic investigations conducted in a large northeastern city in the United States. In the first study we focus on the ways in which whiteness among working-class men emerges in relation to a constructed 'other', in this case a black/Latino other who is held to have unpleasant characteristics. In the second, we problematize the idea that the white European self emerges necessarily in relation to that of a constructed 'dark other' by focusing on white working-class Irish adults who frequent an Irish community centre in the same city. We explore the ways in which the presence of particular spaces within which ethnic identities can flourish may blunt the effects of possible intergroup violence based on the production of a white identity and at the same time potentially encourage a multi-racial set of political coalitions.  相似文献   

Preescolar na casa     

Lois Ferradás 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(11):91-93

RESUMEN

Preescolar Na Casa es un programa educativo dirigido a niños de 6 años de la Galicia rural en situación de desventaja con respecto al niño escolarizado. El programa es llevado a cabo por los padres en sus casas, con la ayuda de una orientación pedagógica y un material didáctico adecuado. Se hace una breve historia de como surgió esta experiencia y se describen las actividades del programa. A pesar de las muchas limitaciones (ausencia de socialización del niño, poca intensidad del trabajo, poco interés y deformación pedagógica de algunos padres) los niños que siguieron el programa en continuidad aprovecharon los aprendizajes y lograron una mayor atencion de sus padres, mejorando así la relación.  相似文献   

Perceptions of supervisor nonverbal immediacy,vocalics, and subordinate liking     

Lois L. Hinkle 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(2):128-136

This study examined relationships between nonverbal immediacy and liking, and between liking and vocalics in workplace environments. Subordinates ‘ perceptions of their supervisors’ nonverbal immediacy behaviors were strongly correlated with subordinates’ liking for their supervisors, and supervisors’ vocalics were linked significantly to subordinates’ liking for their supervisors. Findings in this study provide fresh insight into the relationships between supervisors’ communication behaviors and subordinates’ attitudes. The results also identify the cross‐contextual nature of the correlation between nonverbal immediacy behaviors and liking. The findings support and extend existing relational maintenance, nonverbal immediacy, vocalics, and liking literature.  相似文献   

Point of Practice: Keeping “Health” in Health Communication Research and Practice     

Roxanne Parrott 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(1):92-102

A review of my research in health communication leads to the presentation of eight insights that may be applied to the practice of health communication. The significance of collaboration and work in health communication practice settings, ranging from public health departments, to clinics, to participation in the Institute of Medicine guides the discussion of three broad principles that inform my health communication research. In both cases, a core emphasis is given to keeping “health” in health communication research and practice.  相似文献

How student teaching in an urban setting affects teacher candidates' career motivations     

Alicia Pagano  Lois Weiner  Roselynn Obi  Judith Swearingen 《The Urban Review》1995,27(1):51-76

This is a qualitative study to determine changes in the motivation of senior student teachers to teach (at the elementary, early childhood, and secondary levels) in an urban setting during the student teaching internship in an urban public school. Emerging themes include roles of classroom teachers, discouragement from tenured teachers, school bureaucracy, views of students, relationships with cooperating teachers, candidates' views about subject matter, and their views about themselves. The findings indicate that motivation to teach changed during student teaching. This cohorts' experiences strengthened their confidence and commitment to teach in culturally diverse urban public schools rather than discouraging them. This research supports a contextual approach to understanding motivation and challenges educators to reflect on several issues of preservice training as well as collaboration with teacher practitioners. With a knowledge of what attracts teachers to the occupation and an understanding of how that attraction is influenced by field experiences in urban schools, programs which prepare teachers may be better able to educate teachers who want to teach in urban schools and can perform successfully in that setting.  相似文献   

Look At That! Video Chat and Joint Visual Attention Development Among Babies and Toddlers          下载免费PDF全文

Elisabeth R. McClure  Yulia E. Chentsova‐Dutton  W. G. Parrott  Rachel Barr 《Child development》2018,89(1):27-36

Although many relatives use video chat to keep in touch with toddlers, key features of adult–toddler interaction like joint visual attention (JVA) may be compromised in this context. In this study, 25 families with a child between 6 and 24 months were observed using video chat at home with geographically separated grandparents. We define two types of screen‐mediated JVA (across‐ and within‐screen) and report age‐related increases in the babies’ across‐screen JVA initiations, and that family JVA usage was positively related to babies’ overall attention during video calls. Babies today are immersed in a digital world where formative relationships are often mediated by a screen. Implications for both infant social development and developmental research are discussed.  相似文献
