Four Blocks for Literacy     

Robin Campbell 《Literacy》1999,33(1):29-32

The literacy hour within the National Literacy Strategy is now part of primary classroom practice in the UK. That literacy hour consists of four distinct parts which are debated here. In addition an alternative Four Blocks framework, as used by some schools in the USA, is explored. The differences between those approaches are noted which raise questions about the time allocation, a sustained involvement with reading and writing, and teacher autonomy in the literacy hour.  相似文献   

Indeed,sometimes knowledge does not help: A replication study     

Stark  Robin  Gruber  Hans  Mandl  Heinz  Renkl  Alexander 《Instructional Science》1998,26(5):391-407

In an earlier study we found that intermediate experts in the domain of economics did not surpass novices in complex learning and knowledge application with a computer-based business simulation. In the present study, it was investigated whether these contra-intuitive findings can be replicated. In order to scrutinize the reasons which led to these findings, some parameters of the learning environment were changed. The duration of the exploration phase and of the problem-solving phase as well as the complexity of the situations were increased, motivation and acquired declarative knowledge were assessed. In view of mastering recurring demands and the functionality of mental models, no differences were found between a group of novices (15 students of humanities with a supplementary training in economics) and a group of intermediate experts (13 advanced students of economics). The findings of the original study were replicated, motivation had no effect on the result. In terms of declarative knowledge, the novices turned out to be even better.  相似文献

“OK,I Get It! Now Tell Me How to Do It!”: Why We Can’t Just Tell You How to Do Critical Multicultural Education     

Robin DiAngelo  Özlem Sensoy 《Multicultural Perspectives》2013,15(2):97-102

As educators who work with preservice teachers on critical multicultural education, we often struggle with our students’ desire for us to provide them with the how-to’s of multicultural education—a kind of “answer list.” In this paper, we share the analogies we have developed and found effective in explaining to our students why the list that they imagine not only doesn’t guarantee success, but could actually result in undermining core principles of critical multicultural education.  相似文献   

Shirt sponsorship by gambling companies in the English and Scottish Premier Leagues: global reach and public health concerns     

Christopher Bunn  Robin Ireland  Jonathan Minton  Daniel Holman  Matthew Philpott  Stephanie Chambers 《Soccer & Society》2019,20(6):824-835

While the nature of gambling practices is contested, a strong evidence base demonstrates that gambling can become a serious disorder and have a range of detrimental effects for individuals, communities and societies. Over the last decade, football in the UK has become visibly entwined with gambling marketing. To explore this apparent trend, we tracked shirt sponsors in both the English and Scottish Premier Leagues since 1992 and found a pronounced increase in the presence of sponsorship by gambling companies. This increase occurred at the same time the Gambling Act 2005, which liberalized rules, was introduced. We argue that current levels of gambling sponsorship in UK football, and the global visibility it provides to gambling brands, is a public health concern that needs to be debated and addressed. We recommend that legislators revisit the relationship between football in the UK and the sponsorship it receives from the gambling industry.  相似文献

The Effect of Mobile Support Devices on the Anxiety and Self‐Efficacy of Hospital Float Staff     

Megan Riley McKee  Jeff M. Allen  Robin Tamez 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》2014,27(2):59-81

Floating is the act of staff moving from one unit to another based on the needs of the patients in a hospital. Many staff who float to different units express negative feelings, including anxiety and lack of self‐efficacy. However, floating is an economical and efficient method to use staff across the hospital, especially with current staffing shortages in the United States. This study investigated how the use of mobile performance support devices may help reduce anxiety and increase self‐efficacy for staff who float to different units. With access to multiple resources available on mobile devices, Bandura's social learning theory and self‐efficacy concept set the framework through modeling, observing, and imitating others in order to reproduce certain behaviors and tasks and believe in one's capability to perform. A quantitative study incorporating the retrospective pretest‐posttest design was conducted using the population of float staff, both nurses and respiratory therapists, from Children's Medical Center of Dallas. Both the State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory and General Self‐Efficacy Scale, along with a basic demographic tool, were used to explore anxiety and self‐efficacy in relation to the use of mobile performance support devices. Findings can be used to alleviate the negative feelings of staff toward the idea of floating.  相似文献
