The end-state comfort effect in young children     

Adalbjornsson CF  Fischman MG  Rudisill ME 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2008,79(1):36-41

The end-state comfort effect has been observed in recent studies of grip selection in adults. The present study investigated whether young children also exhibit sensitivity to end-state comfort. The task was to pick up an overturned cup from a table, turn the cup right side up, and pour water into it. Two age groups (N = 20 per group) were studied: preschool children (2-3 years old), and kindergarten students (5-6 years old). Each child performed three videotaped trials of the task. Only 11 of the 40 children exhibited the end-state comfort effect, and there were no differences between age groups. Results revealed the emergence of five different performance patterns, none of which were consistent with sensitivity to end-state comfort. The findings have implications for the advance planning of manual control in young children.  相似文献

Do parents,teachers, and psychoeducational evaluators agree in their perceptions of the problems of black and white emotionally disturbed children?     

Alan S. Kaufman  William W. Swan  Mary M. Wood 《Psychology in the schools》1980,17(2):185-191

The aim was to examine the agreement among parents, teachers, psychologists, and educational diagnosticians in their perceptions of the problem behaviors of emotionally disturbed children. The sample of 194 emotionally disturbed boys and girls included 129 whites and 65 blacks. The use of measures of relationship showed that there was significantly greater consensus among the raters in perceptions of white than of black children; agreement was particularly poor between parents and teachers of black youngsters. The implications of these findings are discussed.  相似文献   

Patterns of Service Delivery in Educational Psychology Services: Some implications for practice     

Jane Leadbetter 《Educational Psychology in Practice》2000,16(4):449-460

This article describes research into models of service delivery for Educational Psychology Services in England and Wales. Questionnaires completed by Principal Educational Psychologists (PEPs) during 1998 reveal trends in the way we commonly engage with schools. In particular, aspects of practice associated with consultancy models of service delivery are explored and the extent to which they are employed is examined. Some links with other organisational artefacts, such as supervision and appraisal, are also discussed. The research provides an illuminative study of current service delivery practice and suggests some conclusions about the way we deliver services to schools, the cultures within EP Services and the frameworks we draw upon to inform our practice.  相似文献

Community secondary schools: A case-study of a Nigerian innovation in self-help     

Mary Okoye 《International Journal of Educational Development》1986,6(4)

Changing patterns of economic, political and social development tend to produce innovations in the educational field, as the system seeks to adjust to the needs of the current situation. When Eastern Nigeria faced the aftermath of civil war, new political and educational policies contributed to produce an overwhelming demand for secondary education. This paper presents a case-study of the innovation that resulted in Anambra State, where local communities worked with the Government, providing schools for the Government to run. The success of this policy over the past decade is analysed and evaluated, indicating how educational standards were controlled.  相似文献   

Children linking science and technology in the primary classroom     

Dr Beverley L. Jane 《Research in Science Education》1995,25(2):191-201

This research project exemplifies how technology can facilitate scientific investigations. It also highlights how enthusiastic children can be when they are encouraged to pose their own questions and take responsibility for finding the answers. Year 5 children, working in groups, were involved in designing, making and appraising catchers and enclosures used to investigate small animals found within their school's grounds. A videotape of this project was made and should be a valuable resource for the professional development of both trainee and practising teachers. Included in the tape are children's spontaneous comments, their concern for animal welfare, and reflection on the various aspects of their investigations. Syndal South Primary School  相似文献
