Introduction: Personal Learning Environments in the context of formal education / Introducción: los Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje en contextos de educación formal     

César Coll 《Cultura y Educación》2014,26(4):617-630

Abstract

This article introduces the monograph on Personal Learning Environments in formal education and presents six papers addressing, both theoretically and empirically, the use of these environments as learning spaces. The six papers contribute to reflection and discussion of the challenges that the new scenario derived from the information society poses to formal education. The common thread of the work is the idea that, to address these challenges, we need new approaches and proposals. In this context, Personal Learning Environments are presented as an innovative approach that can contribute to transforming learning and teaching. All articles focus on the design, construction, appropriation and use of Personal Learning Environments, as well as on the possibilities, limitations and difficulties of implementing this type of learning environment in formal educational settings.  相似文献   

Stability robustness of perturbed structured systems     

Begoña Cantó  Carmen Coll  Elena Sánchez 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2014

In this paper, the robust stability problem of structured linear systems is analyzed. In order to preserve the structure of the initial system, the structure of the admissible perturbations is characterized. Frobenius and infinity matrix norms are used to study the robust stability of the system affected by different admissible perturbations. Upper bounds for the perturbations are obtained, which guarantee that the perturbed system remains stable. Finally, some examples are shown to illustrate the results.  相似文献   

The Effect of Service Learning on Community College Students     

Margaret S. Sass  Ken Coll 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(3):280-288

This study discusses the implementation of a service learning component in community college communication 101 level courses. Through the execution of a service learning component in communication classes at a community college, students’ communicative competency and attitude toward community service is assessed. Using two different delivery approaches, a quantitative study assessed the pretest and posttest of the standardized tool Communicative Adaptability Scale (CAS). Eight sections of communication 101 courses were distributed into two groups: (a) an experimental group and (b) a control group. The experimental group (n = 69) was required to finish a service learning project consisting of 15 hours by the end of the semester. The control group (n = 64) students did not participate in a community service project. Quantitative research methods were applied through data collection of the CAS taken by participants preimplementation and postimplementation of the service learning component, which was a community service project. The CAS results support that the implementation of service learning significantly increases students’ communication adaptability and competence.  相似文献   

Relational power,marital schema,and decisions to withhold complaints: An investigation of the chilling effect on confrontation in marriage     

Denise Haunani Solomon  Leanne K. Knobloch  Mary Anne Fitzpatrick 《Communication Studies》2013,64(1):146-167

Previous research on dating relationships suggests that perceptions of a partner's power exert a chilling effect on the expression of relational grievances. This paper extends the chilling effect perspective by examining two issues: (a) whether a partner's power corresponds with decisions to withhold complaints within marriage, and (b) whether the manifestation of the chilling effect varies as a Junction of individual differences in marital schema. Married individuals (N = 215) completed questionnaire measures of a partner's power, marital schema, and decisions to withhold complaints from spouses. Findings underscore the importance of both power and marital schema within spouses’ decisions to express complaints.  相似文献   

Exploring effects of an early math intervention: The importance of parent–child interaction     

Andrew Ribner  Alex M. Silver  Leanne Elliott  Melissa E. Libertus 《Child development》2023,94(2):395-410

We explore whether training parents' math skills or playing number games improves children's mathematical skills. Participants were 162 parent–child dyads; 88.3% were white and children (79 female) were 4 years (M = 46.88 months). Dyads were assigned to a number game, shape game, parent-only approximate number system training, parent-only general trivia, or a no-training control condition and asked to play twice weekly for 8 weeks. Children in the number game condition gained over 15% SD on an assessment of mathematical skill than did those in the no-training control. After 8 additional weeks without training, effects diminished; however, children of parents in the ANS condition underperformed those in the no-treatment control, which was partially explained by changes in the home numeracy environment.  相似文献   

Young women’s dismissal of the influence of gender upon their future life trajectory as played out in ‘New Times’     

Leanne Dalley-Trim 《The Australian Educational Researcher》2012,39(2):193-205

This paper investigates the ways in which young women come to view gender as being an influence upon their future lives—their aspirations and expectations for the future. In doing so, it draws upon 327 surveys completed by year 12 female students, typically 17 years of age, in a range of schools across the State of Queensland, Australia. The paper details key features of the young women’s survey responses—the dominant storylines evident in the data—as a means of illustrating how they have come to dismiss gender as an influence. Further, the paper illuminates the power and pervasiveness of neoliberal discourse in ‘New Times’, the ways in which the young women surveyed embrace neoliberalism and its imperative of individualisation and do so in ways that locate gender as irrelevant in their imagining and enacting of their life biographies. Finally, the paper explores the implications of such research findings for these—and other—young women.  相似文献   

E‐learning in higher education: some key aspects and their relationship to approaches to study     

Robert A. Ellis  Paul Ginns  Leanne Piggott 《高等教育研究与发展》2009,28(3):303-318

While there has been systematic and on‐going research into e‐learning in universities for over two decades, there has been comparatively less evidence‐based research into how key aspects of e‐learning are internally constituted from a student perspective and how these aspects might be related to university students’ learning experiences. The purpose of this paper is to explore key aspects of e‐learning that might be related to university student approaches to study, so that a better understanding of the internal structure of these aspects is achieved. Student responses to surveys are analysed at the level of each item to identify which items made the most sense to over 200 third‐year economics students. Data was also analysed both at the variable level, to identify which items coalesce to determine the structure of e‐learning variables, and at the student level, to see if there were groups of students in the sample that shared similar experiences of e‐learning when it was used to support a predominately campus‐based learning experience. The results suggest several implications for improving particular aspects of the student experience of e‐learning when it is used to support a campus‐based experience.  相似文献   

Preschool Math Exposure in Private Center-Based Care and Low-SES Children’s Math Development     

Heather J. Bachman  Jessica L. Degol  Leanne Elliott  Laura Scharphorn  Nermeen E. El Nokali  Kalani M. Palmer 《Early education and development》2018,29(3):417-434

Research Findings: The present study examined the amount of exposure to math activities that children of low socioeconomic status (SES) encounter in private community-based preschool classrooms and whether greater time in these activities predicted higher math skills. Three cohorts of 4- to 5-year-old children were recruited from 30 private centers, resulting in a sample of 288 children nested within 73 preschool classrooms. Classroom observations were conducted for 150 min during fall and winter of the preschool year using a time sampling method. Preschoolers were exposed to an average daily amount of 2 min (range = 0–23) of math exposure. Hierarchical linear models were run to examine associations between math exposure and math achievement. Children’s exposure to math activities significantly and positively predicted their spring math scores, but associations between math exposure and math scores were stronger for children with lower initial cognitive abilities and self-regulation skills. Practice or Policy: Our findings revealed generally low levels of math instruction occurring in private child care centers primarily serving low-SES children. Even limited exposure to math activities predicted children’s math skills, however, which highlights the importance of math content in these settings.  相似文献
