比较图书馆学:一门理论学科     

西尔维娅·西姆索娃  肖力 《大学图书馆学报》1990,(1):51-57

<正> 十九世纪中叶,爱德华·爱德华兹以翔实的欧洲各国的图书馆调查资料为素材,写成了《英国公共图书馆立法概论》一文,于是,他在无意间首次涉足比较图书馆学研究领域,只是他自己当时浑然不觉。从那时起至本世纪中叶,即爱德华兹发表论文后整整一百年,英语词汇中才出现了“比较图书馆学”一词。1966年,比较图书馆学才作为必修课程被纳入有关图书馆学正式课表中。自此,我一直从事本课程的教学。因此在撰写本论文时,我将以一个最早、并长期从事比较图书馆学教育工作的教师,而不是一个从事实验工作的图书馆员的观点来看待并阐述问题。在我们专业领域里,不少刊物发表了对图书馆学定义的论文。多数作者都提出其各自的定义。定义种类繁多,相互矛盾,观点相左(所有关于比较图书馆学定义的讨论文章可见新  相似文献   

Temperament Dimensions in Preschool Children: Links With Cognitive and Affective Theory of Mind     

Emiddia Longobardi  Pietro Spataro  Marta D’Alessandro  Rita Cerutti 《Early education and development》2017,28(4):377-395

Research Findings: The present cross-sectional study investigated the question of whether 6 different temperament dimensions (inhibition to novelty, social orientation, motor activity, positive emotionality, negative emotionality, and attention) influenced cognitive and affective theory of mind (ToM) in 168 children (86 three/four-year-olds and 82 four/five-year-olds). Temperament was measured via a parent-report questionnaire, cognitive ToM via a classical false-belief task, and affective ToM via a comprehensive test tapping 3 levels of emotion comprehension (external, mental, and reflexive). In addition, language competence was assessed with a direct test evaluating both receptive and expressive language. The results showed that after we controlled for language ability, inhibition to novelty predicted higher levels of cognitive ToM in 4/5-year-old children. In addition, higher levels of social orientation predicted better comprehension of the external aspects of emotion in both younger and older children. Practice or Policy: Our results highlight the importance of the early identification of less sociable children, who might benefit from training interventions aimed at increasing their affective ToM abilities. At the same time, they are also consistent with previous evidence indicating that an inhibited approach to social interaction can promote false-belief understanding.  相似文献   

Innovators and imitators: Organizational reference groups and adoption of organizational routines   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Silvia Massini  Arie Y. Lewin  Henrich R. Greve   《Research Policy》2005,34(10):1550-1569

Firms vary greatly in their rates of creating and adopting technological and organizational innovations, in part because of their choice of reference group. We argue that the selection of a reference group is a crucial and neglected source of firm heterogeneity. Comparisons to the average of other firms in a population cause most firms to adopt innovations once they are widely accepted. A distinctive feature of the minority of innovating firms that create innovations or adopt them early is that they compare themselves with, compete with, and try to differ from other innovating firms, whereas the majority of firms compare themselves with, and conform to, a broader group of firms. We elaborate this argument based on the behavioral theory of the firm and institutional theory, and test it on a two-period survey on adoptions of innovative organizational forms in Europe and the US. The analysis shows the predicted differences in the adoption patterns of innovating and imitating firms.  相似文献   

Socio-cultural variation in reading comprehension development among fifth graders in Peru     

Silvia Morales Silva  Ludo Verhoeven  Jan van Leeuwe 《Reading and writing》2011,24(8):951-969

In this study, the socio-cultural variation in reading comprehension development was examined in 331 fifth graders from schools in Lima, Peru. Reading comprehension was measured using an adaptation of the PIRLS Reading Literacy test. The fifth graders?? reading comprehension results, measured over the course of fifth grade, were related to the development of word decoding, vocabulary, and motivation for reading. Children??s development in these domains was related to their gender, intellectual maturity, home literacy climate, and socio-economic status. Structural Equation Modelling showed that the development of reading comprehension was influenced by the children??s ability to decode words, their vocabulary, and reading motivation. Furthermore, gender and intellectual maturity as well as children??s home literacy climate and socio-economic status appeared to substantially predict reading comprehension development, directly or indirectly. More than half of the variance in reading comprehension by the end of the fifth grade could be explained based on these predictor variables.  相似文献

Evaluating the reflexive practices in a learning experience     

Andreina Bruno  Laura Galuppo  Silvia Gilardi 《European Journal of Psychology of Education - EJPE》2011,26(4):527-543

Reflexivity is a primary requirement for professional work. Our aim was to describe a methodology suitable for detecting the development of reflexive practice through the analysis of 59 Master’s degree students’ journals. We explore the use and changes of reflexive practice in relation to the settings and activities of the course using analysis of the mental language: We analyse how the reflexive practice is characterized, how it evolves through time and how it can be promoted. Data analysis shows that reflexivity is not monodimensional but multidimensional. Reflexive practice increases during the course: The different dimensions vary over time according to different organizational and educational conditions. This methodology allows us to formulate new hypotheses about which elements of the setting and process are effective in supporting participants’ reflexive practice.  相似文献

Scaling up comprehensive sexuality education in Nigeria: from national policy to nationwide application     

Silvia Huaynoca  Venkatraman Chandra-Mouli  Nuhu Yaqub Jr.  Donna Marie Denno 《Sex education》2014,14(2):191-209

Nigeria is one of few countries that reports having translated national policies on school-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) into near-nationwide implementation. We analysed data using the World Health Organization-ExpandNet framework, which provides a systematic structure for planning and managing the scaling up of health innovations. We examined how Nigeria's nationwide programme was designed and executed. Since 2002, Nigeria has developed a well thought through strategy to scale up CSE. Crucial attributes that facilitated the scaling up included technical consensus about the innovation and clarity about its components, dissection of a complex intervention into manageable components for implementation by organisations with complementary expertise, strong political leadership and championship in concert with advocacy and technical support from non-governmental organisations, proactive and energetic involvement of community stakeholders, effective programme management, and improvements to the information management system to ensure on-track implementation and mid-course corrections to keep stakeholders, including funders, informed and engaged. Challenges included programmatic values, competing priorities for available human resources and a lack of predictable funding for sustaining a rapid scale-up effort. Despite some weaknesses, implementation has largely proceeded according to plan. The lessons learned from Nigeria's experience can and should be used in other settings to achieve wide-scale coverage.  相似文献   

Narrative inquiry as travel study method: affordances and constraints     

Cheryl J. Craig  Yali Zou  Rita Poimbeauf 《Asia Pacific Education Review》2014,15(1):127-140

This article maps how narrative inquiry—the use of story to study human experience—has been employed as both method and form to capture cross-cultural learning associated with Western doctoral students’ travel study to eastern destinations. While others were the first to employ this method in the travel study domain, we are the first to comprehensively explore the affordances and constraints of the methodology and the possibilities it holds for illuminating knowledge developments, community growth, and identity transformations on the part of participating students. Story fragments illustrating each of these opportunities and challenges are drawn from the China Study Abroad Program, a program sponsored by the University of Houston’s Asian American Studies Center that has been underway since 1995. Affordances of the narrative inquiry research method include such things as detailed accounts of individuals in interaction with diverse people/places/things and explications of stories people live in and by. Accounts, which are “true for now,” as opposed to true for all time and the dangers of human fallibility form two examples of narrative inquiry’s constraints.  相似文献
