THE INQUIRY SCIENCE IMPLEMENTATION SCALE: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS     

Paul R. Brandon  Donald B. Young  Francis M. Pottenger  Alice K. Taum 《International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education》2009,7(6):1135-1147

Instruments for evaluating the implementation of inquiry science in K-12 classrooms are necessary if evaluators and researchers are to know the extent to which programs are implemented as intended and the extent to which inquiry science teaching accounts for student learning. For evaluators and researchers to be confident about the quality of these instruments, information about their development and validation—particularly about teacher self-report instruments—must be available. In this article, we present the Inquiry Science Implementation Scale, describe the instrument’s development and the results of analyses of the validity and reliability of data collected with it, and discuss the possible uses of the instrument.  相似文献

Cost-Benefit Analysis Versus Cost-Consequences Analysis     

David Wilkinson 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》1999,12(4):71-81

Cost-consequences analysts Kaufman and Watkins (1996) have proposed cost-consequences analysis (CCA) as a means for leaders and decision-makers to estimate whether the value of results obtained is worth the investment. They argue that CCA offers a “coarse-grain” estimate of return-on-investment when there is not the necessity nor time and/or resources available for a complete determination of all of the variables that actually go into a return-on-investment analysis. They further contend that CCA differs from other evaluation tools in that it emphasizes outcomes, whereas the other tools utilize incomplete measures of both costs and returns. This paper contends, after assessing the theoretical underpinnings of cost-benefit analysis (CBA), together with its use in practice, that there is no substantive difference between CCA and CBA. In other words, CCA does not add anything new to the evaluation tools available to program evaluators. In arguing this, the paper also addresses some issues of what is required for good program evaluation, no matter which tool is used.  相似文献   

Children’s Beliefs About Possibility Differ Across Dreams,Stories, and Reality     

Brandon W. Goulding  Ori Friedman 《Child development》2020,91(6):1843-1853

Are children’s judgments about what can happen in dreams and stories constrained by their beliefs about reality? This question was explored across three experiments, in which four hundred and sixty-nine 4- to 7-year-olds judged whether improbable and impossible events could occur in a dream, a story, or reality. In Experiment 1, children judged events more possible in dreams than in reality. In Experiment 2, children also judged events more possible in dreams than in stories. Both experiments also suggested that children’s beliefs about reality constrain their judgments about dreams and stories. Finally, in Experiment 3 children were asked about impossible events more typical of dreams and stories. In contrast with the other experiments, children now affirmed the events could happen in these worlds.  相似文献

Adolescent racial prejudice development: The role of friendship quality and interracial contact     

Fiona A. White  Bethany Wootton  Joyce Man  Hernan Diaz  Jana Rasiah  Emily Swift  Amanda Wilkinson 《Int J Intercult Relat》2009,33(6):524-534

There is a limited theoretical and empirical literature on the role of friendship quality and interracial contact on adolescent racial prejudice development. To address this gap, the present study examined the relationship between these factors amongst an Australian sample of 89 school-aged adolescent friendship dyads and 80 university-aged adolescent friendship dyads. All participants were administered questionnaires measuring prejudice towards Asian and Arab Australians, friendship quality and interracial contact. Overall, the results revealed that all adolescents reported significantly higher levels of subtle prejudice than blatant prejudice. As predicted, university-aged adolescents reported significantly lower levels of both subtle and blatant prejudice towards Asian and Arab Australians than school-aged adolescents. Importantly, adolescents who had contact with Asian (outgroup) friends reported significantly lower levels of subtle and blatant prejudice towards Asian Australians than adolescents with no Asian friends. Interestingly, friendship quality was not found to moderate the similarity of prejudice levels within friendship dyads. Together, these findings indicate that in developing subtle prejudice-reduction programs research should focus on increasing interracial cooperative contact, particularly amongst school-aged adolescents.  相似文献   

The metabolic and temporal basis of muscle hypertrophy in response to resistance exercise     

Matthew S. Brook  Daniel J. Wilkinson  Kenneth Smith  Philip J. Atherton 《European Journal of Sport Science》2016,16(6):633-644

Constituting ～40% of body mass, skeletal muscle has essential locomotory and metabolic functions. As such, an insight into the control of muscle mass is of great importance for maintaining health and quality-of-life into older age, under conditions of cachectic disease and with rehabilitation. In healthy weight-bearing individuals, muscle mass is maintained by the equilibrium between muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown; when this balance tips in favour of MPS hypertrophy occurs. Despite considerable research into pharmacological/nutraceutical interventions, resistance exercise training (RE-T) remains the most potent stimulator of MPS and hypertrophy (in the majority of individuals). However, the mechanism(s) and time course of hypertrophic responses to RE-T remain poorly understood. We would suggest that available data are very much in favour of the notion that the majority of hypertrophy occurs in the early phases of RE-T (though still controversial to some) and that, for the most part, continued gains are hard to come by. Whilst the mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy represent the culmination of mechanical, auto/paracrine and endocrine events, the measurement of MPS remains a cornerstone for understanding the control of hypertrophy – mainly because it is the underlying driving force behind skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Development of sophisticated isotopic techniques (i.e. deuterium oxide) that lend to longer term insight into the control of hypertrophy by sustained RE-T will be paramount in providing insights into the metabolic and temporal regulation of hypertrophy. Such technologies will have broad application in muscle mass intervention for both athletes and for mitigating disease/age-related cachexia and sarcopenia, alike.  相似文献
