Deconstructing high performance Nordic sport: the case study of women’s handball (the ‘team as method’)     

Liv B. Hemmestad  Robyn L. Jones 《Sport in Society》2019,22(4):671-688

Abstract

The principal purpose of this study was to record and explore the changing coaching landscape within elite Norwegian women’s handball from 2003 to 2005. This was in relation to critically understanding the culture created within the context, and the precise role(s) of head coach Marit Breivik, the assistant coaches, and the athletes in question, in its creation. The significance of the paper lies in enhancing understanding the ‘Nordic model’ of society, inclusive of its emphasis on equality, tolerance, consensus and cooperation, and the ways in which this is constructed, explored and challenged within and through sport. When appointed in 1994, Breivik inherited a high performance system not unlike any other in international sport; one dominated by metrics, compliance and control. It was one she wanted to change to better reflect the Nordic values of integration, interdependence and egalitarianism. The study’s method comprised an in depth ethnography where the principal author spent two years embedded within the setting. The results, deduced from inductive analysis of the collected data, are discussed in terms of two principal themes. First, the initial attempts at culture change by Breivik and the inevitable resistance experienced; and second, the relational strategy she adopted to overcome such resistance (including that of establishing the ‘team as method’). Finally, a conclusion reflects on the meaning of such findings, touching on the dual explanatory notions of ‘progressive repair’ and that of the coach as a ‘virtuoso actor’.  相似文献

Young Adult Use of Ebooks: An Analysis of Public Library Services and Resources     

Robyn Gray 《Public Library Quarterly》2017,36(3):199-212

An online survey distributed to librarians at public libraries across North America established some interesting trends in public librarians’ perceptions of ebooks and teens. Some of the findings of this study are that teen library users strongly prefer to read print books for their recreational reading and show very little interest in ebooks or ebook programs offered by public libraries. Survey respondents indicate that teen library users remain largely unaware of or disinterested in the advantages of ebooks in providing them a convenient, private, and customizable recreational reading experience. Even when public librarians offer ebook programs for teens through school outreach, these programs tend to focus on the titles in the collection and the download process, rather than the specific benefits of ebook reading. More active promotion of these advantages could potentially appeal to teens, especially to non-library users and reluctant readers.  相似文献   

A Community-Driven Metadata Framework for Describing Cultural Resources: The Digital Library North Project     

Sharon Farnel  Ali Shiri  Sandra Campbell  Cathy Cockney  Dinesh Rathi  Robyn Stobbs 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2017,55(5):289-306

This article describes the Digital Library North (DLN) project, a collaboration among researchers at the University of Alberta, staff at the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre, and communities within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) to develop a culturally appropriate metadata framework for a digital library of cultural resources. It will discuss gathering of data to inform the first iteration of the metadata framework and digital library prototype, as well as revisions made to both the framework and the digital library based on feedback obtained through community interaction with the prototype.  相似文献   

The benefits of students learning about critical evaluation rather than being summatively judged     

Karen Smyth 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2004,29(3):370-378

This paper explores how student reflection on assessment procedures is a necessary part of the learning experience, and how such reflection can be supported in our teaching practices. Attention is paid to how discussion and analysis of assessment practices can be prioritized in the opening stages of a course. Further exploration reveals the importance of teaching students the differences in rationale behind summative and formative methods, and ways to do this. The advantages of conceptual marking, how written and verbal feedback should not be the end stage but used as a building block for student reflection, roles for self‐ and peer assessment and particular issues concerning oral assessment are all investigated.  相似文献

Young workers and their dispositions towards mathematics: tensions of a mathematical habitus in the retail industry     

Robyn Jorgensen Zevenbergen 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2011,76(1):87-100

This paper presents a case study of contemporary retail industry and the ways in which young workers participate in that field. Public perceptions of low numeracy among young people provided the catalyst for the study. Drawing on a mixed-method approach involving survey, case studies, stimulated recall, observations, and interviews, it was found that young workers approach their numeracy in ways that have been shaped by their experiences, in particular, digital experiences. In contrast, older generations hold different views of young people’s numeracy levels and skills, often perceiving them as poor and deficit. The study challenges the orthodoxy of older generations and argues that young workers have developed new ways of working, which align strongly with the post-industrial workplace. As a result, there are considerable tensions between the generations which need to be considered. The paper uses the work of Bourdieu and draws on his notions of habitus, field, and capital to theorize the outcomes.  相似文献
