Laptops in the Scottish Primary School: Interim Report     

Graham Turnbull  Tom Gilmour 《Educational Media International》2013,50(2):63-66

Abstract

The following paper should be seen as an addition to that provided in the Proceedings of the 7th ICTE.’ For reasons of brevity, it does not deal to any large extent with the background to the project, but details the progress of a study into the effects of introducing laptops into primary (elementary) school. The project has provided every pupil in one class with a laptop computer and has tracked the use being made of it as a curriculum tool for writing. The second phase of the project is under way, with a completion date of April 1991.  相似文献   

>How to avoid implying that physicalism is true: a problem for teachers of science     

Tom Settle 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(3):258-264

It is difficult to teach science without implying, in a broad sense, that physicalism is true. This is a problem for teachers, regardless of whether they accept or reject physicalism, as well as for students. Physicalism‐‐it used to be called materialism‐‐is not a single doctrine, but a family of doctrines. Six of these are described and it is argued that they are not logically favoured by science. Since alternative metaphysical schemes exist (e.g. Whitehead's) which are consistent with scientific facts, evidence which supports a scientific theory over rivals, even decisively, does not have the logical power to decide in favour of physicalism. Science teaching's insinuation of physicalism can be avoided by deliberately stressing such uncontroversial features of science as: the unfinished nature of research; the use of idealizations in scientific theories; how all scientific theories at best only approach the truth; and that older theories are now known to be, strictly, false, although they still fit the facts to some degree.  相似文献

Evaluating a monolingual multinational digital library by using usability: An exploratory approach from a developing country     

lvaro Quijano-Solís  Raúl Novelo-Pea 《International Information and Library Review》2005,37(4):329

In this paper the authors present a preliminary discussion on some of the results from a survey aimed to explore, describe and explain some of the usability characteristics in digital libraries evaluation in the Mexican context. The study is framed in the evaluation of a multinational and monolingual digital library: the Miguel de Cervantes Virtual Library, from the University of Alicante in Spain. The evaluators were Mexican “expert” users (i.e. Spanish-speaking professional university librarians specialized in electronic reference services) who were asked to carry on an evaluation instrument based on usability criteria as taken from some models in developed countries. Some questions that might be answered with future research are outlined in this paper.  相似文献   

Diversity in the Information Seeking Behaviour of the Virtual Scholar: Institutional Comparisons     

David Nicholas  Director of CIBER  Professor at  Director of the School of Library  Paul Huntington  Senior Researcher  a founder member of CIBER  SLAIS  University College London  WCE  BT  UK  Hamid R. Jamali  a researcher in CIBER  SLAIS  University College London  WCE  BT  UK 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2007,33(6):629-638

The logs of four universities using the OhioLINK journal system were evaluated for a period of fifteen months using deep log analysis methods in order to compare and contrast the information seeking behaviour of their users. Large differences were found, especially between the research and teaching universities. Methodological problems associated with making the comparisons are discussed in some detail especially in terms of defining online sessions.  相似文献
