PHONE HOME? AN ANALYSIS OF HOUSEHOLD TELEPHONE OWNERSHIP     

Smith  Tom W. 《Int. Journal of Public Opinion Research》1990,2(4):369-390

A multivariate, theoretical model is developed and tested topredict household telephone ownership. Factors theorized topredict telephone ownership are 1) socio-economic status/resources,2) household composition, 3) cultural background, 4) attachments,including—a) community/mobility ties, b) civic/politicalties, c) group ties, d) personal ties, e) social and institutionalalienation, and of misanthropy, 5) counter-normative behavior,6) psychological well-being, and 7) physical well-being. Theanalysis, indicates that the socio-economic factor in generaland income in particular has the largest impact. All other factorsalso have significant, independent effects with the exceptionthat some, but not all, of the attachment factors and psychologicaland physical well-being are not related to telephone ownership.Overall, non-telephone households can be characterized as marginaloutsiders.  相似文献

Three-dimensional kinematic analysis of the golf swing using instantaneous screw axis theory,Part 2: golf swing kinematic sequence     

Alessandro Vena  Dave Budney  Tom Forest  Jason P. Carey 《Sports Engineering》2011,13(3):125-133

A number of recent studies have measured the extent and timing of segment rotation during the golf swing. A promising technique, instantaneous screw axis (ISA) theory, could provide a better expression of segment rotation. In Part 1 of this two-part study, the objectives are to identify the ISA of the pelvis, shoulders and left arm during the downswing, compute segment angular velocity relative to that segment’s ISA and verify that ISA theory is a valid tool to analyse segment rotation during the golf swing. Results indicate that for all subjects, at least 71% of marker velocity is a result of rotation about their respective ISA, when averaging results over the duration of the downswing, confirming that motion is primarily rotational. Furthermore, ISA position and orientation of each segment approaches, on average, the expected gross axis of rotation, confirming that motion about the ISA is representative of joint motion.  相似文献

Assessing Quality in Toddler Classrooms Using the CLASS-Toddler and the ITERS-R     

Karen M. La Paro  Amy C. Williamson  Bridget Hatfield 《Early education and development》2014,25(6):875-893

Many very young children attend early care and education programs, but current information about the quality of center-based care for toddlers is scarce. Using 2 observation instruments, the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale–Revised (ITERS-R) and the Classroom Assessment Scoring System, Toddler Version (CLASS-Toddler), 93 child care classrooms for toddlers across the state of North Carolina, representing a range of quality, were assessed to determine overall quality, and associations between observed quality and teachers' ratings of child behavior problems and competence outcomes using the Brief Infant Toddler Social Emotional Assessment. Research Findings: Findings indicated that overall, toddler classrooms were rated as being of moderate quality. Associations between observed quality and teacher-reported child behavior problems and competence outcomes indicated that CLASS-Toddler ratings were positively associated with fewer behavior problems; specifically, children in classrooms with higher levels on the CLASS-Toddler domains of Emotional and Behavioral Support as well as Engaged Support for Learning were reported to have fewer behavior problems. Similarly, the ITERS-R subscales of Interaction and Listening and Talking were positively related to fewer reported behavior problems. Regression models showed that the CLASS-Toddler Emotional and Behavioral Support domain predicted differences in child behavior problems. Practice or Policy: Findings suggest the need for additional research related to very young children's experiences in center-based child care to examine associations between quality and child experiences and outcomes. Children's experiences over time need to be examined to understand how these early child care experiences are related to children's later school adjustment and performance. On a related note, professional development for teachers in toddler classrooms needs to be addressed in terms of preparing effective teachers for young children during the toddler developmental period.  相似文献   

The Imponderable Bloom: A Multimodal Social Semiotic Analysis of an Online Secondary English Course     

Tom Liam Lynch 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2014,21(1):42-52

The use of online learning and other software-powered technologies is on the rise in the United States, encouraged financially and politically by governmental and commercial entities. Specifically, online courses are gaining ground in K–12 public schools, schools which often purchase from third-party providers. After a decade in the New York City Department of Education as an English teacher and schools official responsible for a large-scale online learning programme, the author asks the question: How does the use of software-powered technologies like online learning affect the teaching of literature? In pursuit of this question, the author draws on concept from the field of software studies while adapting qualitative methods from multimodal studies to examine precisely how the nature of software (and the ideologies of those who create and sell it) are subtly influencing the teaching of literature.  相似文献
