Neuropsicología del desarrollo     

J. de Ajuriaguerra 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(2):5-22

RESUMEN

El artículo presenta una visión histórica general de la evolución de la Psicología, describiéndose la contribución de autores como Ribot, Piaget y Wallon a una psicología experimentalista y comparativista. Se hace un repaso del problema de las relaciones de la fisiología del sistema nervioso con el estudio de la conducta. El sujeto existe sólo gracias al funcionamiento de su actividad neuro-endocrina, el sistema nervioso es condición necesaria pero no suficiente para la actividad mental. El antiguo conflicto entre las teorías de lo innato y lo adquirido se ha planteado siempre desde el punto de vista del individuo ya adulto, olvidándose casi siempre de la infancia y su desarrollo cognitivo. De cara a abordar correctamente el estudio del desarrollo del niño se hacen una serie de consideraciones para superar las contradicciones entre lo biológico y lo psicológico.  相似文献   

Action‐research and Food and Nutrition Security: A school experience mediated by conceptual graphic representation tool     

Ivete Teresinha Graebner  Elizabeth Maria Talá de Souza 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(6):809-827

This study deals with the development of a graphic representation tool as a way to support educational planning in an elementary school in the rural area of Brasilia (Brazil’s capital), aiming at the implementation of an integrated action‐research project focusing on hunger and nutrition. The graphic tool made it possible to promote dialogical–reflexive interactions among school teachers as to the identification of competencies and skills in elementary education curriculum and generating apprenticeship themes, scientific concepts, and educational activities. It also constitutes a useful tool for the teaching staff to realize the interdependences among the many school subjects, and to understand their practices, thus leading to self‐evaluation with greater awareness for potential for transformation.  相似文献   

Same,Similar, or Something Completely Different? Calibrating Student Surveys and Classroom Observations of Teaching Quality Onto a Common Metric     

Rikkert M. van der Lans  Wim J.C.M. van de Grift  Klaas van Veen 《Educational Measurement》2019,38(3):55-64

Using item response theory, this study explores whether student survey and classroom observation items can be calibrated onto a common metric of teaching quality. The data comprises 269 lessons of 141 teachers that were scored on the International Comparative Analysis of Learning and Teaching (ICALT) observation instrument and the My Teacher student survey. Using Rasch model concurrent calibration, items from both instruments were calibrated onto a common one‐dimensional metric of teaching quality. Most items were found to fit the model. Challenges pertain mainly to items measuring teaching students learning strategies and differentiation. Explanations for these difficulties are discussed.  相似文献   

Pre-analytical mysteries: A case of severe hypervitaminosis D and mild hypercalcaemia     

Emma Whittle  Elzahn de Waal  Tony Huynh  Oliver Treacy  Adam Morton 《Biochemia medica : ?asopis Hrvatskoga dru?tva medicinskih biokemi?ara / HDMB》2021,31(1)

We describe a case of severe hypervitaminosis D and mild hypercalcaemia in a 68-year-old woman who presented with fatigue and weight loss. Her 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) was > 400 nmol/L (50-150) and corrected serum calcium was 2.83 mmol/L (2.1-2.6). Her intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) was 4.9 pmol/L (2.0-9.5). Further investigation revealed an IgM kappa paraprotein, and a bone marrow aspirate confirmed a diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM). As the vitamin D level was discordant with the patient’s other results and presentation, the presence of an assay interferent was suspected. A 1-in-2 dilution of the sample returned a 25OHD result of 84 nmol/L in keeping with the presence of an interferent. Testing for rheumatoid factor was negative. The sample was treated with an antibody blocking reagent (Scantibodies) and results were not consistent with heterophile antibody interference. The sample was then analysed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which returned a 25OHD result of 82 nmol/L. Testing on an alternative immunoassay platform produced a 25OHD result of 75 nmol/L. Reapeted testing on the original platform following reduction of the monoclonal paraprotein with chemotherapy, returned a result of 64 nmol/L. The patient’s mild hypercalcaemia persisted following resolution of the monoclonal paraprotein, in keeping with a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. This case highlights the potential for paraproteins to cause assay interference, and the importance of considering interference when results are incongruous with the clinical presentation.  相似文献   

Human Anatomy: Teaching–Learning Experience of a Support Teacher and a Student with Low Vision and Blindness     

Carolina Rodrigues Mendonça  Karla Tais de Oliveira Souza  Jalsi Tacon Arruda  Matias Noll  Nilza Nascimento Guimarães 《Anatomical sciences education》2021,14(5):682-692

In Brazil, a federal law ensures that all students with disabilities are entitled to enrollment in higher education institutions. Higher courses in human anatomy stand out for their complexity in both theoretical and practical contents. Therefore, adaptation is required to accommodate students with special educational needs. This study aimed to describe the experience of a Support Teacher in the development of inclusive pedagogical practices for the discipline of Human Anatomy offered in the physiotherapy course for a student with low vision and blindness. The challenges and learning difficulties faced by a visually impaired student are reported. Qualitative analysis was performed by interviewing a student with low vision and blindness and a Support Teacher. The audio recordings were transcribed, categorized, and analyzed using content analysis. The Support Teacher created schematics and drawings of anatomical structures, reviewed theoretical and practical contents, developed adaptations of the examinations, and applied palpatory anatomy to facilitate the student’s learning process. The findings illustrate that the student faced the greatest difficulty in dealing with the emotional aspects, due to the inability to visualize the anatomical details in human cadavers. Thus, the presence of a Support Teacher was fundamental to ensure that the student could learn the content and overcome this limitation. In conclusion, personalized adaptation, commitment, and collaborative work between the Support Teacher and students with low vision and blindness improve their learning conditions.  相似文献   

Small-scale curriculum changes for improving pre-service teachers’ preparation for Family-School Partnerships     

Erica de Bruïne  Janneke Franssens  Sofie van Eynde  Lijne Vloeberghs  Leen Vandermarliere 《师资教育杂志》2018,44(3):381-396

Abstract

Family-School Partnerships (FSP) are important for students’ academic achievements and social-emotional development. Therefore, pre-service teachers need to learn how to establish this. However, in teacher education programmes this topic is insufficiently addressed partially attributed to already overloaded programmes. This study reports on a small-scale curriculum change, aiming to foster pre-service teachers’ awareness of the importance of FSP, to broaden their concepts and support them in identifying learning goals for the future. An assignment to interview novice-teachers about FSP was followed by a class on this topic. Afterwards, pre-service teachers reported in written reflections that they had become aware of the importance of FSP, emphasising that FSP is more than just communication. However, their focus for further professionalisation remained on improving their communication skills. Though this small-scale curriculum change seems to be a small step forward to a better preparation on FSP, further improvements are necessary to promote a comprehensive view of FSP.  相似文献   

Increasing cheat robustness of crowdsourcing tasks     

Carsten Eickhoff  Arjen P. de Vries 《Information Retrieval》2013,16(2):121-137

Crowdsourcing successfully strives to become a widely used means of collecting large-scale scientific corpora. Many research fields, including Information Retrieval, rely on this novel way of data acquisition. However, it seems to be undermined by a significant share of workers that are primarily interested in producing quick generic answers rather than correct ones in order to optimise their time-efficiency and, in turn, earn more money. Recently, we have seen numerous sophisticated schemes of identifying such workers. Those, however, often require additional resources or introduce artificial limitations to the task. In this work, we take a different approach by investigating means of a priori making crowdsourced tasks more resistant against cheaters.  相似文献
