As a team of teacher educators at a university in the United States, we engage in participatory action research to reflect on how reflective tools which we design engage teacher candidates (TCs) in their reflecting on teaching. In this paper, we describe how we invite TCs to write in-class reflections, respond to self-assessment probes, and practice problem-solving processes. We critically analyze our approaches and identify further intentional approaches to promote university students’ understandings of (1) links between the self and working with children and families and (2) connections between attitudes and pedagogy towards social justice and inclusion. We conclude that we must continue to explore how the teaching practices we use affect students’ understandings of social justice in education. Doing so demands our focus on examining attitudes through self-reflection among and between faculty and university students so that identity, relationships, attitudes, inclusion, and social justice are prioritized as pillars of curriculum in early childhood education at all levels of schooling.  相似文献   

Inoculation against Wonder: Finding an antidote in Camus,pragmatism and the community of inquiry     

Gilbert Burgh  Simone Thornton 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2016,48(9):884-898

In this paper, we will explore how Albert Camus has much to offer philosophers of education. Although a number of educationalists have attempted to explicate the educational implications of Camus’ literary works, these analyses have not attempted to extrapolate pedagogical guidelines towards developing an educational framework for children’s philosophical practice in the way Matthew Lipman did from John Dewey’s philosophy of education, which informed his philosophy for children curriculum and pedagogy. We focus on the phenomenology of inquiry; that is, inquiry that begins with genuinely felt doubt, pointing to a problematic to which the inquirer seeks a solution or resolution. We argue that the central purpose of education is to develop lucid individuals. To this end, we concentrate on Dewey and the pragmatist tradition, starting from Peirce, leading to Lipman’s development of Dewey’s educational guidelines into classroom practice. We show where Camus and the pragmatists are congruent in their thinking, insofar as they can inform the educative process of the community of inquiry. What we conclude is that the role of the teacher is to develop lucid individuals facilitated in a classroom that is transformed into a community of inquiry embedded in contemporary historical moments.  相似文献

Multicultural education through child-constructed games     

Alter Muri  Simone 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1996,23(4):211-214

Children all over the world enjoy learning and playing games. Involving children in the process of creating games from other cultures can increase an authentic interest in learning about other cultures. It also increases cognitive, social, and interpersonal skills. Activities that stress multicultural awareness seem to work best when they are part of the daily routine. Many board games, matching games, and sidewalk games are played in several cultures with slight variations. Stressing commonalities by making games rather than differences can foster sensitivity and a greater understanding of others.  相似文献   

Exploration of experimental design and statistical methods using the stick‐on‐the‐wall spaghetti rule          下载免费PDF全文

Simone Montangero  Francesca Vittone  Sally Olderbak  Oliver Wilhelm 《Teaching Statistics》2018,40(2):40-45

We present a versatile scenario to introduce students to statistics: the test that spaghetti sticks only if sufficiently done. The statistical analyses can be performed at different levels of complexity and formal correctness, adapting it to the students' age.  相似文献   

Visual illusions and the control of ball placement in goal-directed hitting     

Caljouw SR  Van der Kamp J  Savelsbergh GJ 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2010,81(4):410-415

When hitting kicking, or throwing balls at targets, online control in the target area is impossible. We assumed this lack of late corrections in the target area would induce an effect of a single-winged Müller-Lyer illusion on ball placement. After extensive practice in hitting balls to different landing locations, participants (N = 9) had to hit a ball to a distant target specified by the vertex of a single-winged Müller-Lyer configuration. Impact velocity was not significantly "tricked" by the pictorial illusion, suggesting that, even when late corrections in the target area are absent, some motor behaviors are not susceptible to the influence of the visual environment surrounding the target.  相似文献   

Neue klinische Anwendungen der dreidimensionalen Rekonstruktion in der echographischen Diagnostik

Die Verwendung der Ultraschalltechnik als bildgebendes Verfahren geh?rt in den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen der Medizin zur klinischen Routine. In den letzten Jahren sind sowohl bei der Weiterentwicklung der Echoscanner selbst als auch auf der Softwareseite im Bereich der computer-gestützten Auswertung von Ultraschalldaten enorme Fortschritte erzielt worden. Die Ergebnisse der T?tigkeiten im Sonderforschungsbereich 414 “Rechner- und sensorgestützte Chirurgie” sind bedeutsame Beispiele der Fortschritte in der klinischen Anwendung in unterschiedlichen medizinischen Fachrichtungen. Wir zeigen ein Beispiel aus der 3D-Echographie (Diagnose von Knochentumoren und ihren Auswirkungen auf das umgebende Weichgewebe) und zwei Beispiele aus der Echokardiographie (Vermessung von Herzklappenringen und Diagnose von Herzklappeninsuffizienzen durch Volumetrie und Visualisierung). Die echokardiographischen Anwendungen unterscheiden sich dabei hinsichtlich der verwendeten Ultraschallinformation. W?hrend für die Vermessung von Herzklappenringen die morphologische Information aus den Backscatterdaten gewonnen wird, wird bei der Bestimmung von Flu?volumen auf die Dopplerdaten zurückgegriffen.  相似文献

Day-level sedentary pattern estimates derived from hip-worn accelerometer cut-points in 8–12-year-olds: Do they reflect postural transitions?     

Jordan A. Carlson  John Bellettiere  Jacqueline Kerr  Jo Salmon  Anna Timperio  Simone J.J.M. Verswijveren 《Journal of sports sciences》2019,37(16):1899-1909

Improving sedentary measurement is critical to understanding sedentary-health associations in youth. This study assessed agreement between the thigh-worn activPAL and commonly used hip-worn ActiGraph accelerometer methods for assessing sedentary patterns in children. Both devices were worn by 8–12-year-olds (N = 195) for 4.6 ± 1.9 days. Two ActiGraph cut-points were applied to two epoch durations: ≤25 counts (c)/15 s, ≤75c/15s, ≤100c/60s, and ≤300c/60s. Bias, mean absolute deviation (MAD), and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) tested agreement between devices for total sedentary time and 11 sedentary pattern variables (usual bout duration, sedentary time accumulated in various bout durations, breaks/day, break rate, and alpha). For most sedentary pattern variables, ActiGraph 25c/15s, 75c/15s, and 100c/60s had poor ICCs, with bias and MAD >20%. ActiGraph 300c/60s had a better agreement than the other cut-points, but all ICCs were <0.587. ActiGraph underestimated sedentary time in longer bouts and usual bout duration, and overestimated sedentary time in shorter bouts, breaks/day, and alpha. For total sedentary time, ActiGraph 25c/15s, 300c/60s, and 75c/15s had good/fair ICCs, with bias and MAD <20%. Sedentary patterns derived from two commonly used ActiGraph cut-points did not appear to reflect postural changes. These differences between measurement devices should be considered when interpreting findings from sedentary pattern studies.  相似文献   

Profiles of Child Developmental Dimensions in Kindergarten and the Prediction of Achievement in the First and Second Grades of Primary School     

Mayra Mascareño  Simone Doolaard  Roel J. Bosker 《Early education and development》2014,25(5):703-722

A successful transition from kindergarten to 1st grade requires a positive combination of multiple dimensions of child competence. Using latent class analysis, we simultaneously examined the academic skills, work attitude, and social/behavioral competence of a large sample of Dutch kindergarten children to identify profiles of kindergarten competence. We tested the predictive power of the profiles by means of multivariate multilevel analyses with language, arithmetic, and work attitude scores as outcome variables. Research Findings: Five profiles of children with distinctive combinations of skills were identified. The results showed that the profile solution forms a significant basis on which to predict later performance. In particular, children in the 2 profiles with the highest kindergarten competence levels perform significantly better in Grade 1 than children with less advantageous skill sets, an effect that tends to increase in magnitude at the end of Grade 2. Practice or Policy: We suggest a practical validation of these profiles to be used as tools for tailoring learning opportunities in kindergarten according to children's skill sets.  相似文献
