Crime & Elder Abuse: An Integrated Perspective by Brian K. Payne     

Kathy Kellett PhD 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(3):239-240

The problem of reducing withdrawal and enhancing the lives of nursing home patients and other elderly members of society becomes more serious as the number of aged increases. Declines in the ability of elderly may be attributable, in certain cases, to disuse of intellectual capacities. Social reinforcement through reading activities has been proposed as a means of enhancing the performance of the aged and relieving the pain of social deprivation. In order to investigate this hypothesis, two reading groups were formed in a 100‐bed convalescent home; each group met for 6 weeks for 45 minutes. Short stories of high interest were read and discussed. Patients appeared to appreciate and enjoy the sessions. Problems of conducting similar programs were discussed and further research suggested.  相似文献   

Shaking the “Magic 8 Ball”: Reflections of a First-Time Teacher     

Eileen McGranahan MSW  PhD 《Journal of Teaching in Social Work》2013,33(1-2):19-34

Social work doctoral candidates and others without much or any formal teaching experience or training are frequently invited to teach a variety of graduate-level social work courses. This beginning teaching experience can be quite challenging both personally and professionally. Yet, it is seldom discussed in the literature, especially from a personal perspective. This paper seeks to address that gap by providing a narrative account of the author's first-time experience teaching an Advanced Clinical Practice course to fifteen second year social work masters students. Included is an examination of influences on the experience of teaching, with particular attention to the importance of attending to student needs, teaching techniques, and to who the “self” is that one brings to teaching. Implications of the author's experience, including an appended “list” of what might have been done differently is presented as a general guide for other new social work educators as well as for those who mentor them.  相似文献   

Factors Influencing M.S.W. Students' Interest in Clinical Practice     

Robin Perry PhD 《Journal of Teaching in Social Work》2013,33(1):47-70

This study utilizes linear and log‐linear stochastic models to examine the impact that a variety of variables (including graduate education) have on M.S.W. students' desires to work in clinical practice. Data was collected biannually (between 1992 and 1998) from a complete population sample of all students entering and exiting accredited graduate programs of social work in California (n = 5,793). The influences of past practice experiences, professional motivations, socio‐demographic characteristics, ideological affiliations, and education and training experiences while a graduate students were all examined. Findings suggest that there is tremendous commonality in the variability of interest toward doing clinical practice among all student groups both before and after the completion of graduate studies. Male and female students, students of varied ethnic, social class and political identifications/affiliations, along with students of varied ages did not differ in their desire or interest to engage in clinical practice. The desire to prepare for private practice had the strongest influence—that was maintained over the course of their education—on students' interests in clinical social work. Desires to work with the poor were not associated with students' desires to be clinicians who wish to apply their trade across a wide variety of problems and populations.  相似文献   

Operational and Financial Aspects for Delivering a Consortium Shared LMS - The MITOS Project     

Dimitrios Kouis  George Veranis  Eleni Papadatou  Nikolaos Mitrou 《图书馆管理杂志》2018,58(5):482-502

The Shared Library Management System (LMS) model is not a new concept. Lately, many libraries consortia have migrated to a shared LMS to reduce their services' total costs. The Hellenic Academic Libraries consortium has implemented a shared LMS service, hosted in a private owned cloud infrastructure for its members during the past years (known as the MITOS project). Recognizing the complexity and significance that joining a shared LMS represents, it is important for librarians and other decision makers to have access to the MITOS experience for operational, technical and financial aspects, during and after the transition.  相似文献   

Towards the real-time evaluation of collaborative activities: Integration of an automatic rater of collaboration quality in the classroom from the teacher’s perspective     

Irene-Angelica Chounta  Nikolaos Avouris 《Education and Information Technologies》2016,21(4):815-835

This paper presents the integration of a real time evaluation method of collaboration quality in a monitoring application that supports teachers in class orchestration. The method is implemented as an automatic rater of collaboration quality and studied in a real time scenario of use. We argue that automatic and semi-automatic methods which provide assessments of collaboration quality or detect disorders and anomalies in collaborative activities should be further used to assist class monitoring. To that end, we study the routine of teachers when they monitor computer-supported collaborative activities with respect to the size of the classroom and the support of an automatic rater. We focus on the way the rater affects their task and how it can be further used to empower the practice of teachers.  相似文献   

The Short-lived Bi-communal Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation     

Nikolaos Stelya 《Media History》2016,22(2):217-231

The bi-communal Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CYBC) casts its shadow to an important period of Cyprus’s modern history. Almost immediately after the establishment of the new republic, the two communities (the Greek and the Turkish-Cypriot) focused their attention towards media services and particularly the CYBC on which both sides tried to impose their own agendas. As expected, the two conflicting agendas and approaches disrupted, in practise, the smooth cooperation between the two communities in CYBC. Almost 50 years since the failure of this bi-communal endeavour, CYBC’s case study offers us a fundamental lesson. Firstly, it is clear that for such an endeavour, a constructive and focused dialog amongst all parts involved in the process is required. Additionally, CYBC’s short history demonstrates that in a multicultural environment the establishment of a public broadcasting corporation is not a purely technical or political matter, but one with broader social and cultural dimensions.  相似文献

Accessibility and Order: Crossing Borders in Child Abuse Forensic Reports     

Marlee M. Spafford OD  PhD  Catherine F. Schryer PhD  Lorelei Lingard PhD  Marcellina Mian MDCM  MHPE 《Technical Communication Quarterly》2013,22(2):118-143

Physicians write child abuse forensic reports for nonphysicians. We examined 73 forensic reports from a Canadian children's hospital for recurrent strategies geared toward making medical information accessible to nonmedical users; we also interviewed four report writers and five readers. These reports featured unique forensic inserts in addition to headings, lists, and parentheses, which are typical of physician letters for patients. We discuss implications of these strategies that must bridge the communities of medical, social, and legal practice.  相似文献   

Helping Youth in Underserved Communities Envision Possible Futures     

Martha L. Slattery PhD 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(2):209-212

Empowering youth through the exploration of their possible futures is a fresh and innovative approach to the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model (TPSR). The purpose of this study was to examine the combination of TPSR with the theory of possible selves. This combination, called the Career Club, was a program specifically designed to better assist students in understanding and facilitating reflective discussions on their future decisions. Career Club was taught weekly for nine sessions, 90 min each, at an inner city elementary school in a large metropolitan city. Participants comprised 12 seventh- and eighth-grade boys and girls who had at least 1 year and up to 5 years of experience in a TPSR program. Data sources included document analysis, lesson observations, formal interviews, and observational field notes. Themes were classified into the following categories: hopedfor-selves and feared selves—a delicate balance, coaching as a necessary component, and coming to understand possible futures. These results indicated that Career Club was effective in providing the participants a meaningful career exploration in coaching. Data also suggested these coaching experiences facilitated reflective discussions on realizing their future orientation choices.  相似文献
