Audrey J. Jaeger, Stephany Dunstan, Courtney Thornton, Alyssa B. Rockenbach, Joy G. Gayles, and Karen J. Haley argue that applying our theoretical frameworks in everyday decision making will help us to be more efficient and effective—and they provide a user‐friendly analogy to guide us in this endeavor.  相似文献   

Collaborative teaming and critical reflection: A model for practice in preservice programs and general education settings     

Mary Ellen Seery  Joy Kimura Galentine  Patricia A. Prelock 《Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education》2013,34(1):81-88

Abstract

Inclusion settings for young children with mild to moderate educational needs are becoming the norm. Development of collaborative intervention teams has become essential to effective inclusion. Models of collaborative team development have described multiple aspects of team developmental stages (Tuckman & Jensen, 1977; Lowe & Herranen, 1982). What may be missing in these professional models is the understanding of intrinsic personal qualities that may support or inhibit team development. The model proposed in this reflection advocates a combination of professional and personal commitment models of team development. The authors also explore the benefits of critical reflection about team processes and the value of developing collaborative preservice preparation programs and collaborative intervention models at the preschool and primary levels.  相似文献   

Supporting mathematics vocabulary instruction through mathematics curricula     

Erica M. Barnes  S. Joy Stephens 《Curriculum Journal》2013,24(3):322-341

Abstract

This study examines four of the most commonly-used core mathematics curricula in the USA for evidence of support for research-based instructional strategies for mathematics vocabulary in first and second grade. Content analyses of the teachers’ editions of two units for each grade level were analyzed per curriculum (n?=?16). Statistically significant differences among curricula were found for number of target words (range 6–51 per unit), level of difficulty of terms (basic to technical), and number of support strategies per word. Multiple means of representation varied in terms of verbal and non-verbal strategies for target terms. These differences indicate children are experiencing substantially different mathematics vocabulary learning opportunities, which may impact later mathematics achievement. Implications for practice, curriculum development, and future research are addressed.  相似文献   

The impact of federal financial aid policy upon higher education access     

Dannielle Joy Davis  Lisa Celeste Green-Derry  Brandon Jones 《Journal of educational administration and history》2013,45(1):49-57

This article reviews the history of financial aid policy from the Higher Education Act of 1965 to its reauthorisation in 1992 and the subsequent ramifications upon African-American students. It considers issues of race and class with regard to college access. This work concludes with a look at contemporary aid, as well as offers race- and class-conscious financial aid by increasing college affordability to low-income students, as potential solutions to broadening educational access to Black Americans.  相似文献   

Supporting self-evaluation in local government via Knowledge Discovery and Data mining     

Hye-Chung Kum  Dean F. Duncan  C. Joy Stewart 《Government Information Quarterly》2009

The business sector has already recognized the importance of information flow for good management, with many businesses adopting new technology in data mining and data warehousing for intelligent operation based on free flow of information. Free flow of information in government agencies is just as important. For example, in child welfare, entities that fund social services programs have increasingly demanded improved outcomes for clients in return for continued financial support. To this end, most child welfare agencies are paying more attention to the outcomes of children in their care. In North Carolina, many county departments of social services have successfully adopted the self-evaluation model to monitor the effects of their programs on the outcomes of children. Such efforts in self-evaluation require good information flow from state division of social services to county departments of social services. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data mining) information system that could upgrade information flow in government agencies. We present the key elements of the information system and demonstrate how such a system could be successfully implemented via a case study in North Carolina. The next generation infrastructure in digital government must incorporate such information system to enable effective information flow in government agencies without compromising individual privacy.  相似文献

Significant Influences on the Development of Adults’ Environmental Awareness in the UK,Slovenia and Greece     

Joy A. Palmer  Jennifer Suggate  Barbara Bajd  Elissavet Tsaliki 《Environmental Education Research》1998,4(4):429-444

This article provides an overview and discussion of the relative importance of various categories of significant influences and formative life experiences on the development of environmental educators’ knowledge of and concern for the environment. A previous article in this journal (Palmer & Suggate, 1996) presents relevant findings deriving from the UK and analyses the ways in which the importance of influences may change through time or be affected by the subject's age. Here, the team of international authors presents data from three European countries and engages in both location‐specific and cross‐cultural comparative analysis.  相似文献   

Newspapers as a reading resource: their impact on boys and on parental involvement     

Jennifer O&#x;Reilly  Joy Alexander 《Literacy》1998,32(3):21-26

This study, carried out in connection with the Newspapers in Education programme, reveals the effectiveness of newspapers as a reading resource in the classroom. Their beneficial effect is especially apparent in the motivation given to boys as readers and to the natural way in which parents, and fathers in particular, can become involved.  相似文献   

Research Matters: a call for the application of empirical evidence to the task of improving the quality and impact of environmental education     

Joy A. Palmer 《Cambridge Journal of Education》1999,29(3):379-395

This paper argues for an increase in the application of empirical evidence to the task of improving the quality and impact of environmental education. Whilst the global scene in environmental education appears to portray optimism and great endeavour, there remain key issues to resolve. Such issues include the apparent lack of impact of formal educational programmes on individual's environmental awareness and concern. The paper argues that an empirical research base can illuminate significant findings relating to human motivation and cognition which may help to resolve such issues. It provides an overview and discussion of some of the findings of one particular substantial international research project in order to illustrate the underpinning case for using research to inform both policy and practice and gives some examples of how the evidence generated from this research programme is being used to shape educational policy and practice.  相似文献
