Cases of Censorship in Public Libraries: Loudoun County,VA     

Jennifer Elaine Steele 《Public Library Quarterly》2020,39(5):434-456

ABSTRACT

In 1998, a group of adult library patrons and individuals in Loudoun County, Virginia, brought a suit against library trustees, board members, and the director of the county’s public library, claiming that the library’s use of Internet blocking software was an infringement on their First Amendment rights, leading to the federal court case Mainstream Loudoun v. Board of Trustees of the Loudoun County Library (1998). Using an in-depth case study approach and going beyond a review of the court documents, the author uses a series of qualitative interviews with individuals connected to the court case to gather more in-depth information regarding events surrounding this case of censorship in public libraries and investigate the phenomenon of librarians acting as censors themselves.  相似文献   

Asymptomatic players with a patellar tendon abnormality do not adapt their landing mechanics when fatigued

This study aimed to explore how asymptomatic athletes with a patellar tendon abnormality (PTA), who are at high risk of developing patellar tendinopathy, alter their landing technique and net patellar tendon loads generated in response to fatigue. Seven asymptomatic players with a PTA performed five successful vertical stop-jump trials before and after a fatigue protocol. Fatigue protocol involved participants repeatedly performing sets of 30 submaximal jump exercises on a sledge apparatus followed by 30 s rest until the task failure criteria were reached. Three-dimensional ground reaction forces, lower limb kinematics and net peak patellar tendon force were recorded during the stop-jump task. No significant between-fatigue condition differences in net patellar tendon loading, or most secondary outcome variables were observed. Only some fatigue changes were seen during the vertical landing phase. Asymptomatic PTA participants did not modify their landing technique or net patellar tendon loading during a stop-jump task in response to fatigue. The lack of between-fatigue condition differences displayed by the asymptomatic PTA participants during both landing phases suggest that these individuals may not be capable of sufficient movement variability in their landing strategies to adapt to fatigue.  相似文献

Predicting Children's Achievement from Teacher Judgements: An Alternative To Standardized Testing     

Lorene C. Quay  Donald C. Steele 《Early education and development》1998,9(3):207-218

A simple instrument, the Developmental Rating Scale (DRS), was constructed to provide a vehicle for teachers to express their judgements about the academic development of children. Different teachers used this instrument to assess the academic development of the same children at the beginning of pre-kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. Teachers also assessed children using the Developmental Profile II (DPII), a widely used commercial test, at the beginning of pre-kindergarten and first grade; and they reported the level at which the children were achieving in reading comprehension and math at the end of first and second grades. Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) total reading and total math scores were obtained on a subsample of the children at the end of second grade. Although the DPII is purported to consist of five dimensions, corresponding to five different developmental areas, and the DRS, modeled after the DPII, used the same five dimensions, factor analysis indicated that both instruments consisted of one global dimension, not five. The DPII was not a meaningful predictor of any of the achievement variables. The DRS had high correlations with all achievement variables, indicating that from pre-kindergarten through second grade teacher judgements are superior to at least one commercial, standardized test for predicting later achievement.  相似文献   

III. ATTACHMENT AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN INSTITUTIONAL CARE: CHARACTERISTICS AND CATCH UP

Attachment has been assessed in the extreme environment of orphanages, but an important issue to be addressed in this chapter is whether in addition to standard assessment procedures, such as the Strange Situation, the lack of a specific attachment in some institutionalized children should be taken into account given the limits to the development of stable relationships in institutionalized care. In addition, this chapter discusses disinhibited or indiscriminately friendly behavior that is often seen in institutionalized children. Enhanced caregiving quality alone appears to be insufficient to diminish indiscriminate behavior, at least in some children, as evidenced by the persistence of indiscriminate behavior in children adopted out of institutions into adoptive families. We suggest that the etiology and function of indiscriminate, “friendly” behavior may be different for institutionalized versus not‐institutionalized children. In the first case it may reflect a distortion or disruption of early attachment relationships; in the latter case it is likely to result from the lack of expected input in the form of contingent interactions with a stable caregiver in early life. We try to delineate infant and caregiver characteristics that are associated with secure attachment in institutional settings, given the inevitable fact that large numbers of infants worldwide are being raised, and will be raised, in contexts of institutional care. We conclude that much further study is needed of the development of children's attachments following adoption out of an institutional setting.  相似文献   

大规模学生评估的影响力与重要性:德国视角     

Wilfried Bos  俞可 《复旦教育论坛》2010,8(4)

二十年来,大规模学生评估对教育研究、学校体系和教育政策产生了深远影响."国际中学生评估项目"(PISA)、"国际学生数学与科学能力动态项目"(TIMSS)和"国际学生阅读能力进步研究项目"(PIRLS)使各个国家学生成绩值具有一定可比性,由此,人们能更细致地从学校内部来观察不同国家学校工作的差异度.大规模学生评估还为学校发展、教育领导以及学生成绩的改进提供必要数据.本文以PIRLS为例,旨在从德国视角为中国今后开展大规模国际学生评估提供借鉴.  相似文献
