Center Stage: Performing a Needs Assessment of Campus Research Centers and Institutes     

Andrea Malone  Lisa Martin  Christie Peters  Cherie Turner  Porcia Vaughn 《图书馆管理杂志》2017,57(4):406-419

Outreach to research centers and institutes is often overlooked in academic libraries. This article discusses a needs assessment conducted by the Liaison Services Department at the University of Houston Libraries that reviewed library services to centers and institutes at the University of Houston's main campus. The assessment was conducted for two purposes: to build collaborations with centers and to determine how the libraries might create new services and/or market existing services to meet the centers and institutes' growing research needs.  相似文献

LATIN ‐‐AN INTEGRATED LEARNING PROJECT     

P. Turner 《Learning, Media and Technology》1980,6(1):31-32

Television has an increasing role as an aid to learning. In the past, because of the expense of the equipment needed, it has been regarded as a tool for teaching. Only recently has it been installed in libraries and resource centres together with video recorders and headsets, to permit students to learn from video sources of information. In many of these applications, however, despite the fact that other media is available in the same location, the connection between other items and television material is no more than tenuous. In the Latin Learning Project used by Surrey schools, as described in this article, efforts have been made to get beyond this limitation.  相似文献   

“Circle of Friends”—An Exploration of Impact Over Time     

Norah Frederickson  Laura Warren  Jane Turner 《Educational Psychology in Practice》2005,21(3):197-217

This study investigated the impact of different aspects of the circle of friends (CoF) intervention. A naturalistic sample of 14 primary‐aged children with a range of special educational needs were involved, seven of whom were followed‐up a term later, to assess medium‐term impact. The whole‐class meeting was found to be effective in increasing the social inclusion of the focus children. However, with the exception of one child with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), the weekly CoF meetings produced no measurable further improvements. Possible explanations for the pattern of findings and implications for educational psychology practice are discussed.  相似文献   

Living and learning as an international postgraduate student at a Midlands university     

Hugh Busher  Gareth Lewis  Chris Comber 《Journal of Further & Higher Education》2016,40(1):48-64

This paper investigates the views of 20 full-time international postgraduate students, many of whom were Chinese, on living, learning and becoming successful students at one university in a multicultural city in the Midlands of England. The qualitative study built on findings from the International Students’ Barometer (ISB) survey for the university, in that it seeks to understand how students’ experience of context (living) interacted with their experience of learning in building their identities as successful learners. Student participants were sampled opportunistically within a purposive framework. Data was collected through audio-recorded individual semi-structured interviews, using as a stimulus participant-constructed concept maps of their perceptions of learning in the university and living in the city. Interview data were transcribed and analysed thematically. The main findings showed that participants enjoyed living in a city with an international culture, although some found it strange initially because they encountered different styles of life and food, albeit including some that they enjoyed at home. They welcomed studying at a university with high international prestige, a wide range of excellent facilities and generally approachable tutors but were shocked by having to undertake unfamiliar styles of independent learning with brief teaching hours. They perceived culture shock as transitional, which declined as they made friends, often with co-linguists, and became familiar with life in the city, work in the university and the extensive support of tutors.  相似文献   

Measuring Self-Regulation: A Focus on Activity     

Julianne C. Turner 《Educational Psychology Review》2006,18(3):293-296

Ainley and Patrick describe an assessment process designed to “identify self- regulation in action.” In the spirit of this goal, the author offers three suggestions for providing a more holistic and contextual view of self-regulation. These suggestions include (a) expanding the definition of self-regulation used in their studies; (b) measuring self-regulation as a dynamic process rather than as a linear one; and (c) including measures of the context, such as task, interpersonal contacts, and community norms.  相似文献

Linguistic awareness skills in grade one children in a French immersion setting     

Hyla Rubin  Anne Turner 《Reading and writing》1989,1(1):73-86

This study examined the ability of children in French immersion and English programs to analyze the internal structure of spoken words in relation to their early reading and spelling abilities in English. Thirty-two children in the first grade were given a modified version of the Auditory Analysis Test, and reading and spelling tasks that included both real words and non-words. Results indicated that French immersion children were more proficient than their English program peers at explicitly analyzing spoken words and that the groups did not differ when reading and spelling orthographically regular real words and non-words. The English program children performed better than their French program peers only when reading orthographically irregular English words. These results demonstrate that second language learning enhances metalinguistic awareness and help to explain why children in immersion programs do not experience long-term difficulty in acquiring English written language skills.  相似文献
