INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION AND PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION IN CAMPUS‐BASED CHILD DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY PROGRAMS     

Lynne E. Rowan  Nancy E. Barbour 《Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education》2013,34(1):41-48

ABSTRACT

In an undergraduate families and communities course situated at a university in the borderlands of the United States and Mexico, early childhood majors have used Black feminist thought combined with photovoice to generate projects that explore family and community experiences with power and oppression. As a professor, teaching assistant, and student enrolled in the course, we share our conceptualization of Black feminist photovoice, student trends and issues engaging with photovoice throughout the semester, and provide an example culminating project that focuses on colonization. By describing students’ engagement with Black feminist photovoice, we illustrate how transformative spaces can be forged in early childhood teacher education, where students critically examine the struggles and empowerment of marginalized communities, and generate possibilities to serve as agents of social justice and change.  相似文献

Guardians of tradition: presentations of inclusion in three introductory special education textbooks     

Nancy Rice 《International Journal of Inclusive Education》2013,17(4):405-429

Textbooks contain information. They also contain attitudes, beliefs and values that are conveyed covertly through a variety of mechanisms such as the use of language, the choice of topic inclusion or exclusion, the focus on certain aspects of an issue, the simultaneous omission of other aspects, and other strategies. This paper analyses discussions of inclusion and ‘full’ inclusion in three best‐selling textbooks in the US college market. To analyse the texts, I employ Brantlinger’s method of ideological critique, which applied Thompson’s strategies of symbolic construction. Implications highlight the responsibility of teacher educators: (1) to analyse their course material for ideological underpinnings; (2) to teach future educators to develop a critical consciousness; (3) to model how to consider issues from a range of perspectives; and (4) to provide opportunities for future teachers to develop the habit of listening to the viewpoints of people with disabilities and their families.  相似文献   

Student‐directed learning strategies to promote the progress of students with intellectual disability in inclusive classrooms     

Michael Wehmeyer  Carolyn Hughes  Martin Agran  Nancy Garner  Danna Yeager 《International Journal of Inclusive Education》2013,17(4):415-428

Student‐directed learning strategies involve teaching students to modify and regulate their own behaviour. Teaching students to self‐regulate behaviour has been identified as one means of promoting self‐determination, and promoting and enhancing self‐determination has become a valued outcome internationally. In addition, however, student‐directed learning strategies could prove important for including students with disabilities in general education classrooms by reducing the student's dependency upon others in the classroom setting. Four students with intellectual disability were supported to select an educational goal on which they wanted to work and were taught to self‐monitor their progress toward that goal in general education classrooms. Their progress toward the goal was evaluated through data collection activities and by using the Goal Attainment Scaling process. In general, students achieved their self‐selected goals. The potential contribution of student‐directed learning strategies to inclusion and promoting self‐determination are discussed.  相似文献   

Strategic leadership for large‐scale reform: the case of England's national literacy and numeracy strategy     

Kenneth Leithwood  Lorna Earl  Nancy Watson  Benjamin Levin  Michael Fullan 《School Leadership & Management》2013,33(1):57-79

Both ‘strategic’ and ‘distributed’ forms of leadership are considered promising responses to the demands placed on school systems by large‐scale reform initiatives. Using observation, interview and survey data collected as part of a larger evaluation of England's National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies, this study inquired about sources of leadership, the distribution of leadership functions across roles and how such distribution could also provide the strategic coordination necessary for successful implementation of such an ambitious reform agenda  相似文献

Promoting Movies on Television     

Nancy C. Schwartz  Xiaomei Cai 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(2):139-158

Although many factors affecting a movie's success lie outside a television network's control, on-air promotion is produced by the network and can be utilized to varying degrees of effectiveness. This study measured the impact of 10 promotional variables on broadcast movie ratings by analyzing 813 prime-time promos for 137 televised movies. Results showed how the effectiveness of promotion differed according to a movie's familiarity, popularity, and compatibility. The ratings for made-for-television movies were most affected by the promotion's audience reach, frequency of exposure, and close distance in time to movie airdates; in contrast, theatrical movies aired on television were more affected by promotional reach and the construction of the promotional spot. The findings supported the general salience model of on-air program promotion but also demonstrated that the factors affecting television movie promotion differ markedly from those affecting dramatic and comedy series promotion.  相似文献   

Crash Course in Reference     

Nancy F. Campbell 《资料收集管理》2013,38(1):63-65

The importance to libraries of the collection development policy statement was underscored with the publication of the ALA Guidelines for Collection Development in 1978. The actual process of putting together such a statement is outlined in this article. Consideration is given to the composition of the collection development policy committee, the use of the Guidelines by the committee, and the sources of information that need to be analyzed for the policy, such as resource sharing, historical strengths and changing curriculum goals. The problems of determining collection levels, reconciliation of ambitions with actual practice, and how to handle interdisciplinary areas are also addressed.  相似文献   

One Tool for Many Tasks: Integrating Ipads into the Third-Year Learning Experience     

Nancy T. Lombardo  Amy Honisett 《Medical reference services quarterly》2013,32(1):17-28

Librarians worked with faculty in the School of Medicine to integrate iPad tablets into the third-year pediatric clerkship. The use of the technology allowed students instant access to information in the clinical setting and simplified the management of the course. In addition, a variety of tablet and e-reader devices were purchased for patron check-out. Library management of the devices is discussed. Use of the devices is described, and student reactions are presented.  相似文献   

Sex on prime‐time in the 90's     

Nancy Signorielli 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(1):70-78

Although the proportion of network prime‐time programs with sexual images decreased somewhat during the 1990's, the overall message about sex did not change. Sex is often found in a humorous context—four often programs include humorous sexual references. Sex is most often found in dramas, followed closely by situation comedies. Moreover, one‐fifth of prime‐time programs have sexual content that is categorized as gratuitous (unwarranted) to the plot. Viewers do not seem to favor programs with sexual content — there was no support for the hypothesis that programs with sexual content would have higher Nielsen ratings than programs without sexual content.  相似文献
