Contribution of temporal processing skills to reading comprehension in 8-year-olds: evidence for a mediation effect of phonological awareness     

Malenfant N  Grondin S  Boivin M  Forget-Dubois N  Robaey P  Dionne G 《Child development》2012,83(4):1332-1346

This study tested whether the association between temporal processing (TP) and reading is mediated by phonological awareness (PA) in a normative sample of 615 eight-year-olds. TP was measured with auditory and bimodal (visual-auditory) temporal order judgment tasks and PA with a phoneme deletion task. PA partially mediated the association between both auditory and bimodal TP and reading, above nonverbal abilities, vocabulary, and processing speed. PA explained a larger proportion of the association between auditory TP and reading (56% vs. 39% for bimodal TP), and most of the association between bimodal TP and reading was direct. This finding is consistent with a dual-phonological and visual-pathway model of the association between TP and reading in normative reading skills.  相似文献

Partition-based Field Normalization: An approach to highly specialized publication records     

Nadine Rons 《Journal of Informetrics》2012,6(1):1-10

Field normalized citation rates are well-established indicators for research performance from the broadest aggregation levels such as countries, down to institutes and research teams. When applied to still more specialized publication sets at the level of individual scientists, also a more accurate delimitation is required of the reference domain that provides the expectations to which a performance is compared. This necessity for sharper accuracy challenges standard methodology based on pre-defined subject categories. This paper proposes a way to define a reference domain that is more strongly delimited than in standard methodology, by building it up out of cells of the partition created by the pre-defined subject categories and their intersections. This partition approach can be applied to different existing field normalization variants. The resulting reference domain lies between those generated by standard field normalization and journal normalization. Examples based on fictive and real publication records illustrate how the potential impact on results can exceed or be smaller than the effect of other currently debated normalization variants, depending on the case studied. The proposed Partition-based Field Normalization is expected to offer advantages in particular at the level of individual scientists and other very specific publication records, such as publication output from interdisciplinary research.  相似文献   

Action research and collaborative research: their specific contributions to professional development   总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0  

Lorraine Savoie‐Zajc  Nadine Descamps‐Bednarz 《Educational Action Research》2013,21(4):577-596

The increasing complexity of the teaching profession calls for engaged professionals in their professional development. This article claims that participative types of research contribute differently to professional development. Its intent is to explore the different contributions action research and collaborative research bring. One action research and one collaborative research have been conducted involving school personnel. They have been assessed mid‐course with regard to various components of professional development, including the learning taking place, changes made to professional practices and development of the collective competencies. Group interviews were conducted and each participant produced a written summary. The results show that participants’ individual competencies are strengthened, as well as collective competencies emerging such as the development of a common vocabulary and a shared vision about the school’s mission and mathematics curriculum. Learning is more relational in the action research project, and more connected to knowledge in the collaborative research project. Tensions are also present. They deal with the need to come up with concrete results, the urgency of action, the need to be open to the unknown, a tacit agreement to expose one’s vulnerability to others, the need for interdependence and for accountability. In conclusion, researchers identify their own sources of tensions and recognize that those types of research are important situations of learning.  相似文献

Fat Capital     

Nadine Ehlers 《Journal of Cultural Economy》2015,8(3):260-274

Within the domain of breast reconstruction, abject fat has become a form of biovalue to be harnessed, harvested, and remediated through fat transfer, fat grafting, the therapeutic use of fat stem cells, and fat banking. Each of these technologies deploys fat as capital and promises to return corporeal wholeness following breast cancer surgery. This paper explores the supposed endless malleability of fat and the Promethean dream it represents. In the context of these technologies, the paper asks under what conditions can fat become biovalue; what new corporeal economies are created through the labor of fat; how is this form of biovalue inextricable from the vast circuitry of the breast cancer industry; and how do broader patterns of social dispossession delimit who has access to this dream? It becomes evident that fat gets to be revalued and remediated by women already privileged within circuits of capital, demarcations along lines of race, and notions of normative embodiment. Ultimately, it is the ideal neoliberal subject – one who is ‘able’ to assume responsibility for her own health – that is the inheritor of this dream.  相似文献

IPOP: A Theory of Experience Preference     

Andrew J. Pekarik  James B. Schreiber  Nadine Hanemann  Kelly Richmond  Barbara Mogel 《Curator: The Museum Journal》2014,57(1):5-27

The theory and practice of IPOP emerged from structured observations and interviews with visitors to the Smithsonian Institution museums in Washington, D.C. from the 1990s to the present—a dataset useful in constructing a long view. This research has had one overarching intention: to serve museum visitors better, that is, to provide visitors with experiences that are above average, special, significant, and memorable. In numerous studies and interviews during the last 16 years, visitors have repeatedly spoken about their reactions to Smithsonian museum exhibitions in four typologies distilling their primary interests: I = ideas, P = people, O = objects, and—as we were obliged to add at a later stage—a second P for “physical.” The evidence suggests that exhibitions that strongly appeal to all four visitor typologies will be highly successful with visitors.  相似文献
