Gareth Dart  Tiroyaone Nkanotsang  Ose Chizwe  Lily Kowa 《British Journal of Special Education》2010,37(2):77-86

Pupils with albinism potentially face a number of challenges in accessing quality education in schools in Botswana. Physical issues such as poor eyesight related to the condition and the problems of sensitive skin in such a dry and warm climate are both contributing factors to making learning problematic for some pupils. This study by Gareth Dart of the University of Worcester, Tiroyaone Nkanotsang from a junior secondary school in Botswana, Ose Chizwe from the Government of Botswana and Lily Kowa from a junior secondary school in Botswana, considers the educational experience of two particular pupils with albinism in junior secondary schools in Botswana. Case studies were carried out by student teachers on teaching practice. Issues arising from the case studies of the two pupils were combined with the life story of a third student teacher who himself has albinism. The authors conclude by making some recommendations as to how the experience of pupils with albinism might be improved in the light of local conditions and principles of development.  相似文献

An Innovative Continuing Nursing Education Program Targeting Key Geriatric Conditions for Hospitalized Older People in China     

Lily Dongxia Xiao  Haifeng Wu  Fu Ding  Xizhen He  Yueping Zhu 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(8):585-598

A lack of knowledge in registered nurses about geriatric conditions is one of the major factors that contribute to these conditions being overlooked in hospitalized older people. In China, an innovative geriatric continuing nursing education program aimed at developing registered nurses' understanding of the complex care needs of hospitalized older people with common geriatric conditions was conducted and evaluated. The program consisted of didactic sessions focused on evidence-based practice and unfolding case studies designed to simulate the care trajectory of an older person with a hip fracture and key geriatric conditions. Findings from the program evaluations revealed a significant increase in favorable attitudes towards older people and increased knowledge concerning common geriatric conditions. The satisfaction rate ranked by program participants was 90%. The study, therefore, drew the conclusion that effective geriatric continuing nursing education should target participants' learning needs, support evidence-based practice, and engage participants in active learning.  相似文献   

Strategies for and Successes with Promoting Social Integration in Primary Schools in Canada and China     

Lily Dyson 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》2012,59(2):157-172

This study examined social integration in 11 primary schools in Canada and 19 primary schools in China as reported by teachers in terms of the strategies employed to promote social integration and success in achieving social integration. Structured interviews were conducted with 64 Canadian and 52 Chinese general education teachers. The results showed that the strategies used to promote social integration were largely similar in both countries. Major strategies included the provision of a positive social environment, the promoting of positive attitudes toward individuals with disabilities, and the implementation of cooperative learning techniques. These teachers in the two nations differed mainly in the degree of emphasis on the strategies and the levels of success. The author suggests that future studies involve more nationally representative samples.  相似文献

Implementing and Assessing Library Reference Training Programs     

Lily Todorinova  Matt Torrence 《The Reference Librarian》2014,55(1):37-48

Comprehensive assessments have shown that academic library users prefer a welcoming environment that provides the opportunity for self-sufficiency. Libraries need to meet these expectations and improve the quality of library reference by creating a comprehensive training program for librarians, staff, and students. This article will review standards for reference training in academic libraries with a focus on one-desk service points and consider best practices for planning, implementing, and assessing training programs for staff, students, and librarians.  相似文献   

Defining and Communicating What “Intercultural” and “Intercultural Communication” Means to Us     

Lily A. Arasaratnam  Roberto Avant-Mier  Aisha Durham  Lisa Flores  Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz 《Journal of International and Intercultural Communication》2014,7(1):14-37

In order to engage in our larger discussion, we needed to share our definitions, framings, and theorizings of what “intercultural” and “intercultural communication” mean to us and how we inflect these based on our own experiences, identities, and perspectives. Discussants break down how they understand the notion of “intercultural” behind commonly used and circulated terms in our scholarship.  相似文献
