Personality,moral purpose,and the leadership of an education for sustainable development     

Mike Bottery  Nigel Wright  Sarah James 《Education 3-13》2013,41(3):227-241

This paper describes how two primary head teachers, nationally recognised as role models for the development of an education for sustainable development (ESD) in their schools, manage the implementation of this area. In doing so, it shows how they adopt two very different approaches to ESD and to their job generally, and suggests that whilst there are some commonalities between them, educational leadership needs to be seen as driven by a moral purpose, engaging and re-engaging with each situation, entering into a dialectic with others’ visions, leading to the re-conceptualisation of problems in different ways. This not only suggests a continued tension between such uniqueness and standardised approaches to headship, but raises questions about current policy imperatives for developing models of sustainable leadership.  相似文献   

Displaying Dinosaurs at The Natural History Museum,London     

William Lindsay  Nigel Larkin  Neil Smith 《Curator: The Museum Journal》1996,39(4):262-279

Dinosaur reconstructions have been exhibited in public for over a hundred years. During that time, scientific and public understanding of these extinct animals has changed considerably. Changes in perception have influenced and been influenced by the three-dimensional reconstructions mounted in museums and galleries, and these in turn have been influenced by the availability and use of mounting materials and techniques. The dinosaur exhibition in The Natural History Museum (NHM) in London contains examples of original, altered, and new dinosaur reconstructions that are described here—two, Gallimimus and Massospondylus, in detail. The final form of any reconstructed dinosaur is often influenced by factors beyond the control of the conservation, preparation, and mounting workers involved.  相似文献

Adolescent physical activity levels: discrepancies with accelerometer data analysis     

Greig R.M. Logan  Scott Duncan  Nigel K. Harris  Erica A. Hinckson  Grant Schofield 《Journal of sports sciences》2016,34(21):2047-2053

This study investigated the effects of epoch length and cut point selection on adolescent physical activity intensity quantification using vertical axis and vector magnitude (VM) measurement with the ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer. Four hundred and nine adolescents (211 males; 198 females) aged 12–16 years of age wore accelerometers during waking hours. The GT3X+ acceleration counts were reintegrated into 1, 5, 15, 30 and 60 s epoch lengths for both vertical axis and VM counts. One cut point was applied to vertical axis counts and three different cut points were applied to VM counts for each epoch length. Significant differences (P < 0.01) in mean total counts per day were observed between vertical axis and VM counts, and between epoch lengths for VM only. Differences in physical activity levels were observed between vertical and VM cut points, and between epoch lengths across all activity intensities. Our findings illustrate the magnitude of differences in physical activity outcomes that occur between axis measurement, cut points and epoch length. The magnitude of difference across epoch length must be considered in the interpretation of accelerometer data and seen as a confounding variable when comparing physical activity levels between studies.  相似文献   

Research,Development and Tacit Capability in the Education System     

Nigel Blake 《Cambridge Journal of Education》1997,27(2):223-234

The relevance gap between educational practice and research is often seen as a methodological problem. But communicative and social issues are also vitally important. The idea of tacit capability, from recent work in economics on research and development, characterises the knowledge which can be acquired by and attributed to an organisation as a conversational whole. (Schön's idea of reflective practice is unhelpfully monological.) I interpret and validate this idea in the light of Habermas’ account of communicative action. I use it to explore social problems in the relation between educational practice and research and suggest solutions modelled on enlightened industrial practice in Europe.  相似文献
