Specifying a curriculum for biopolitical critical literacy in science teacher education: exploring roles for science fiction     

Noel Gough 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2017,12(4):769-794

In this essay I suggest some ways in which science teacher educators in Western neoliberal economies might facilitate learners’ development of a critical literacy concerning the social and cultural changes signified by the concept of biopolitics. I consider how such a biopolitically inflected critical literacy might find expression in a science teacher education curriculum and suggest a number of ways of materializing such a curriculum in specific literatures, media, procedures, and assessment tasks, with particular reference to the contributions of science fiction in popular media.  相似文献   

A test of theoretical models that account for information processing demands     

John L. Nietfeld  Sara J. Finney  Gregg Schraw  Matthew T. McCrudden 《Contemporary educational psychology》2007

This study tested four theoretical models in terms of their fit with demands placed on our cognitive system by traditional tests of cognitive ability. We did so by administering seven tests of cognitive ability known to require varying types of processing demands to a large group of college undergraduates (N = 193). We compared the models using confirmatory factor analyses, including those based upon a unitary factor, speed and capacity, crystallized and fluid intelligence, and verbal and spatial ability. The crystallized/fluid model provided the best fit with the data. This finding is consistent with previous research. Implications for education and future research are discussed.  相似文献

A hypertext open learning system for writers     

Noel Williams 《Instructional Science》1992,21(1-3):125-138

In this article I describe three key design issues which underlie a CIRG project building an open learning hypertext package for teaching writing skills. These are issues in:

? combining flexible materials with fixed structures;

? giving students real flexibility in learning;

? the nature of interaction in hypertext writing teaching.

I outline a design strategy to meet problems in all these areas.  相似文献   

Teachers with learning disabilities: a view from both sides of the desk     

Ferri BA  Keefe CH  Gregg N 《Journal of learning disabilities》2001,34(1):22-32

The purpose of this qualitative multicase study was to explore the perceptions of individuals who could speak from both sides of the special education desk--as students and as teachers. The three participants for this study each received special education services for learning disabilities while in school and were currently teaching students with learning disabilities. Specifically the study focused on how participants' past experiences with receiving special education services influenced their current practice as special education teachers. Participants' views on service delivery models, the importance of teacher expectations, and the value of conceiving a learning disability as a tool rather than a deficit are discussed.  相似文献   

A longitudinal study of state government homepage accessibility in Maryland and the role of web page templates for improving accessibility     

Jonathan Lazar  Brian Wentz  Abdulelah Almalhem  Alexander Catinella  Catalin Antonescu  Yeveniy Aynbinder  Michael Bands  Edward Bastress  Brandon Chan  Brian Chelden  Darin Feustel  Nabin Gautam  Whitney Gregg  Michael Heppding  Cory Householder  Alex Libby  Corey Melton  Jack Olgren  Loren Palestino  Morgan Ricks  Scott Rinebold  Matthew Seidel 《Government Information Quarterly》2013

It is well documented that government agencies, at all levels, continue to have problems ensuring that government web sites follow laws related to web accessibility for people with disabilities. Although there are a number of published studies on government web accessibility that are point-in-time, there are no published studies consisting of a longitudinal analysis of state-level government web site accessibility. This paper contributes to the research literature in three ways: 1) an accessibility inspection of 25 Maryland state government homepages in 2012 which involved 150 human inspections of web pages, 2) a comparison of the results from 2012 to a similar accessibility evaluation in 2009, and 3) a discussion of the role of a web page template, which was introduced in Maryland state government shortly after the 2009 evaluation. The data from this longitudinal evaluation leads to the conclusion that web page templates do tend to result in more accessible sites within state government.  相似文献

The thrust of the mob and the media     

Noel Avon Wilson 《广播与电子媒介杂志》2013,57(4):441-448

Children from ages 4 to 9 watched segments from Sesame Street and answered questions about television reality. Factor analysis produced three reality dimensions: (a) Sesame Street really exists, (b) television characters can see and hear us, and (c) what you see is inside the television set. For preschoolers, age was the most important variable in regard to television reality. There were other background variables for older children: Children from working‐class backgrounds were more apt to believe that television characters can see and hear us and that they reside inside the television set than their middle‐ and upper‐class age peers.  相似文献   

The Kalamazoo School Decision     

Noel P. Fox 《Equity & Excellence in Education》2013,46(4-5):72-84

On October 4, 1973, U.S. District Court Judge Noel P. Fox ruled in the Oliver case against the Kalamazoo school board and the Michigan state department of education, among others. On May 7, 1971, the city school board had adopted a desegregation plan. After an election, a new school board voted on July 6, 1971, to reinstate the attendance boundaries in force before May 7th. The complete opinion occupies 127 typed pages, in addition to five appendices. Following are major portions of the ruling.  相似文献
