Internal Revolutions: Auto-Ethnography as a Method for Faculty Who Prepare K-12 Educators and Leaders at Hispanic Serving Institutions     

Israel Aguilar 《Journal of Latinos & Education》2017,16(4):359-373

This article reinforces the use of research for faculty who prepare K-12 educators and leaders for social justice. The author conceptualizes auto-ethnography as a form of professional development and maintains that faculty must first experience an internal revolution before they can expect to model it, especially in a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). Faculty who develop critical consciousness through auto-ethnography can facilitate the use of auto-ethnography as a form of personal/professional development with his/her pre-service leaders/educators.  相似文献   

Evidence of alphabetic knowledge in writing: connections to letter and word identification skills in preschool and kindergarten     

Victoria J. Molfese  Jennifer L. Beswick  Jill L. Jacobi-Vessels  Natalie E. Armstrong  Brittany L. Culver  Jamie M. White  Melissa C. Ferguson  Kathleen Moritz Rudasill  Dennis L. Molfese 《Reading and writing》2011,24(2):133-150

The writing skills of 286 children (157 female and 129 male) were studied by comparing name writing and letter writing scores from preschool to kindergarten with letter and word reading scores over the same time period. Two rubrics for scoring writing were compared to determine if scores based on multiple components (i.e., letter formation, orientation on the vertical axis, left–right orientation, and correct letter sequencing) would better reflect differences in children’s writing knowledge in preschool and kindergarten than rubrics composed of one component (i.e., letter formation only). While developmental changes in writing scores were found, little additional information was provided by multiple component scoring rubrics compared to the single component rubric. Letter writing scores were more strongly related to letter and word reading scores than name writing scores but neither writing score was predictive of growth. Implications of the findings for intentional/systematic writing instruction in preschool curricula are discussed.  相似文献   

Pictures are necessary but not sufficient: Using a range of visual methods to engage users about school design     

Pamela Woolner  Jill Clark  Elaine Hall  Lucy Tiplady  Ulrike Thomas  Kate Wall 《Learning Environments Research》2010,13(1):1-22

It has been argued by both educationalists and social researchers that visual methods are particularly appropriate for the investigation of people’s experiences of the school environment. The current and expected building work taking place in British schools provides an opportunity for exploration of methods, as well as a need to establish ways to achieve this involvement of a range of school users, including students. This article describes a consultation that was undertaken in a UK secondary school as part of a participatory design process centred on the rebuilding of the school. A range of visual methods, based on photographs and maps, was used to investigate the views of a diverse sample of school users, including students, teachers, technical and support staff and the wider community. Reported here is the experience of using these tools, considering the success of different visually-based methods in engaging a broad cross section of the school community and revealing useful information. Using a range of visual methods allows a complex, but coherent, understanding of the particular school environment to be constructed and developed. It is further argued that such a range of visual and spatial methods is needed to develop appropriate understanding. The study, therefore, contributes to knowledge about specific visual research methods, appreciation of the relationship between tools, and a general methodological understanding of visual methods’ utility for developing understanding of the learning environment.  相似文献   

Comprehensive reading instruction for students with intellectual disabilities: Findings from the first three years of a longitudinal study     

Jill H. Allor  Patricia G. Mathes  J. Kyle Roberts  Jennifer P. Cheatham  Tammi M. Champlin 《Psychology in the schools》2010,47(5):445-466

This longitudinal experimental study investigated the reading progress of students with IQs ranging from 40 to 69 (i.e., range for students with mild or moderate mental retardation or intellectual disabilities [ID]) across at least two academic years, as well as the effectiveness of a comprehensive reading intervention for these students across the same period of time. Participants were 59 elementary students who were randomly placed into treatment and contrast groups. Students in the treatment condition received daily, comprehensive reading instruction in small groups of 1–4 students for 40–50 minutes per session across two or three academic years. Measures of phonemic awareness, phonics, word recognition, comprehension, and oral language were included. Findings indicate that students with IQs in the ID range made significant progress on multiple standardized measures of reading. Furthermore, significant differences between the treatment group and contrast group were found on several measures, including progress‐monitoring measures of phoneme segmentation, phonics, and oral reading fluency. Results demonstrate that, on average, students with ID, even those with IQs in the moderate range, learn basic reading skills given consistent, explicit, and comprehensive reading instruction across an extended period of time. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

YOUR HANDS ARE (NOT) TIED: SCHOOL‐BASED ETHICS WHEN PARENTS REVOKE SPECIAL EDUCATION CONSENT     

Rachel Stein  Jill Sharkey 《Psychology in the schools》2015,52(2):168-180

Parents currently have the unilateral ability to reject special education services. Yet, it is unclear how schools should support students with special education needs in this situation as schools may not challenge a parent's choice to revoke special education assessment consent or the provision of services. Guidelines for school professionals to address this quandary currently do not exist, thus this paper will draw on legal mandates, court precedents, and ethical analysis to provide recommendations for appropriate responses to these situations. In particular, what the related laws dictate, how to support students in the general education classroom, and how to deal with behavior and disciplinary infractions are discussed with attention to the National Association of School Psychologist's ethics for school psychologists.  相似文献

Carol Miller and Jill Porter, of the School of Education, The University of Birmingham, provide a penetrating critical response to the Teacher Training Agency's two consultation documents on SEN specialist teachers, which it is hoped will stimulate a wide-ranging debate.  相似文献   

Using context variety and students' discussions in recognizing statistical situations     

Jos Luis ngel Rodríguez Silva  Mario Snchez Aguilar 《Teaching Statistics》2016,38(1):22-24

We present a proposal for helping students to cope with statistical word problems related to the classification of different cases of confidence intervals. The proposal promotes an environment where students can explicitly discuss the reasons underlying their classification of cases.  相似文献
