Neo‐liberal Subjectivities and the Limits of Social Change in University–Community Partnerships     

Bronwyn Davies  Julie Edwards  Susanne Gannon  Cath Laws 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education》2007,35(1):27-40

In this paper the authors analyse a university–school partnership that went awry. It was designed to develop a new set of philosophical principles to inform work with violent student behaviour in schools. The project brought together a team of researchers from the university and school sector with a strong record of examining and improving the management of behaviour in classrooms. The authors sought volunteer school‐based educators to work with them as co‐researchers. Despite the team's strong school‐based research background, the mutual interest in developing a new approach to work with violence, and the strong collaborative base, they found themselves, as the initiating research team, unable to progress in the ways they had anticipated. This paper analyses the dynamics at work in that lack of progress. The analysis is put forward with the hope of enlivening discussion about what makes for successful collaborative projects between schools and universities.  相似文献   

Using questions to foil discussion   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J.T. Dillon 《Teaching and Teacher Education》1985,1(2):109-121

Case studies of five high school classrooms illustrate the general proposition that teacher questions foil discussion, whereas nonquestion alternatives foster discussion. Even where conditions are favorable, questions are seen to forestall an emergent discussion or to frustrate it. By contrast, students in discussions of every kind speak more extensively in response to teacher statements and exhibit more complex thought, deeper personal involvement, wider participation, greater interconnectedness, and richer inquiry. This general case ought to be tested in research and tried in classroom practice, so that our understanding of questions will become more informed and our discussions more educative.  相似文献   

Young Children's Use of Surface and Object Information in Drawings of Everyday Scenes          下载免费PDF全文

Moira R. Dillon  Elizabeth S. Spelke 《Child development》2017,88(5):1701-1715

Pictorial symbols such as photographs, drawings, and maps are ubiquitous in modern cultures. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how children relate these symbols to the scenes that they represent. The present work investigates 4‐year‐old children's (N = 144) sensitivity to extended surface layouts and objects when using drawings of a room to find locations in that room. Children used either extended surfaces or objects when interpreting drawings, but they did not combine these two types of information to disambiguate target locations. Moreover, children's evaluations of drawings depicting surfaces or objects did not align with their use of such information in those drawings. These findings suggest that pictures of all kinds serve as media in which children deploy symbolic spatial skills flexibly and automatically.  相似文献   

The Role of Agricultural Education and Extension in Influencing Best Practice for Managing Mastitis in Dairy Cattle     

E. J. Dillon  T. Hennessy  J. Cullinan 《The Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension》2016,22(3):255-270

Purpose: To examine the role of agricultural education and extension in influencing the adoption of best practice with regard to herd-level mastitis management.Design/Methodology/Approach: Somatic cell count (SCC) is an indicator of herd health with regard to mastitis and is negatively related to productivity and profitability. Panel data regression methods are utilised here to quantify the role of agricultural education and extension in reducing cell count and in influencing farmer best practice with regard to herd health. The impact of education and extension on farmer uptake of milk recording is of particular interest. Data utilised is farm-level Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) data for Ireland over a five-year period (2008–2012).Findings: Farmer uptake of formal agricultural training and liaison with agricultural extension services are shown to significantly improve mastitis herd health. Collectively, education, extension and milk recording results in an overall SCC reduction of 25% for the average herd. Farmers who undertook agricultural training were ten times more likely to monitor milk quality through milk recording compared to those who had not. Additionally, those farmers in contact with an extension service and also participated in a dairy discussion group were seven times more likely to practice milk recording.Practical Implications: The importance of farmer behaviour in the optimum management of herd health has been validated, as has the role of agricultural education and extension in influencing the uptake of best practice by farmers.Originality/Value: To date little research has been conducted using nationally representative herd-level data on the role of agricultural education and extension in improving animal health best practice.  相似文献   

Pre-service teachers’ experiences of ICT in daily life and in educational contexts and their proto-technological pedagogical knowledge     

Sini Kontkanen  Patrick Dillon  Teemu Valtonen  Sami Renkola  Mikko Vesisenaho  Pertti Väisänen 《Education and Information Technologies》2016,21(4):919-943

Many pre-service teachers are members of the net generation and are expected to be familiar with different ICTs, yet several studies have indicated that they are not necessarily able to use them for teaching and learning. The notion of teachers’ technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK) is central to this concern. In this study we use the responses of 146 pre-service teachers to open-ended questions about the experiences and knowledge of ICT and pedagogy they brought with them when they entered university teacher training. The data were analysed qualitatively with content analysis based on an integrative framework generated from a number of theoretical perspectives. Derived categories and subcategories were used to construct a framework for ‘proto-TPK’ as a basis for establishing a starting point for the coordinated development of TPK with students in their university training and early careers.  相似文献   

Cognitive complexity and duration of classroom speech     

J. T. Dillon 《Instructional Science》1983,12(1):59-66

Analysis of speech patterns in 27 high school discussion classes revealed that both teachers and students, and both males and females, took an increasingly longer time to express successively higher-cognitive types of utterances. Student utterances, though systematically briefer, followed precisely the same pattern as teacher utterances. The results suggest that duration of speech is related to level of cognition.  相似文献   

A prevalence formula for automatic relevance feedback in Boolean systems     

Martin Dillon  John Ulmschneider  James Desper 《Information processing & management》1983,19(1):27-36

The implementation of relevance feedback explored here demonstrates the feasibility of query reformulation for boolean retrievals. Improvements to a term prevalence formula used in earlier research are presented along with experimental results that confirm the crucial role of term weights in relevance feedback. In particular, the weighting formula presented here differs significantly from those used by researchers in associative retrieval environments by giving equal weight to a patron's judgements of nonrelevance. The use of negative feedback—by NOTing terms in the negative prevalence range—failed to improve precision, a result that is also considered significant.  相似文献   

Creating an Institutional Repository: Elements for Success!     

Corrie Marsh  Dillon Wackerman  Jennifer A.W. Stubbs 《期刊图书馆员》2017,72(1-4):3-6

ABSTRACT

The institutional repository (IR) can be a dynamic, online collection of research, writing, and projects conducted by a university’s faculty and students. IRs are also important tools that allow a library to create a connection with faculty and students. This report will identify the services and content essential to a successful institutional repository, discuss how to build a team of talented experts to build and market the repository, address the creation of a business plan and strategies for marketing and building social media presence, and conclude with thoughts on how to develop, process, and publish journals locally and sustainably.  相似文献
