Cheryl S. Alton  Joy S. Whitman  Cynthia J. Boyd 《Journal of College Counseling》2000,3(2):168-177

Little has been addressed in the literature about the advantages of brief counseling training for master's‐level trainees working in university counseling centers. This article discusses the benefits that time‐limited treatment affords trainees and offers implications for training and research.  相似文献   

Marketing Theory and Practice On‐line: a Development Towards International Collaboration     

Francis Farrelly  Sally Joy  Sandra Luxton 《Higher Education in Europe》1999,24(2):287-294

The authors detail the development of an on‐line course, “Marketing Theory and Practice On‐line” (MTPO) as part of the charter‐mandated commitment of Monash University of Australia to deliver quality flexible education transnationally. The course, that is now offered to both on‐campus and distance education students, uses a full range of media and computer technologies, including the Internet, e‐mail, bulletin boards, on‐line library facilities, video animations, and hypertext. The guiding principles for the development of the course were that the methodology must enrich the learning experience; the communication shell must enrich a scholarly environment; and the subject development should encourage and facilitate new opportunities. The ultimate aim is to utilize MTPO as the basis for international collaboration and to use the collaboration in question to develop a stronger intellectual package with specialist marketing subjects at both the undergraduate and the postgraduate levels.  相似文献   

Chaos in Environmental Education     

Joy Hardy 《Environmental Education Research》1999,5(2):125-142

Random behaviour, perfectly controlled by deterministic laws, is the seemingly paradoxical definition of ‘chaos’. Hence, chaos theory reconciles order and disorder, and portrays an evolutionary universe based upon a delicate interplay of chance and necessity. These findings have raised fundamental questions regarding the nature of reality and humankind's dialogue with reality. In response, many theorists, both within and beyond the natural sciences, are heralding an emerging paradigm. In the context of education, the assumptions of the emerging paradigm posit learners in a creative process in which the evolution of knowledge and the participant's impact upon each other in a manner that remains ambiguous until the chance has been taken. Explorations of this vision of learning, and the philosophical assumptions, from which it is derived, have the capacity to promote and enrich the current contestation in environmental education. This article presents an example of such an exploration. Specifically, this exploration outlines the essence of chaos theory and the evolutionary capacity of chaotic systems, the philosophical implications of chaos theory both in general and for education, and compares the relations between Doll's (1986, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1993) curriculum vision based on chaos theory and critical education for the environment as outlined by Tien (1993).  相似文献   

Seasonal variation in physical activity among preschool children in a northern Canadian city     

Carson V  Spence JC  Cutumisu N  Boule N  Edwards J 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2010,81(4):392-399

Little research has examined seasonal differences in physical activity (PA) levels among children. Proxy reports of PA were completed by 1,715 parents on their children in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Total PA (TPA) minutes were calculated, and each participant was classified as active, somewhat active, or inactive. Logistic regression models were conducted to examine associations between PA status and seasons. Significant seasonal differences were observed for TPA, weekday PA, weekend PA, and active play. Children were significantly more likely to be physically active in the summer and spring and somewhat physically active in the summer and fall, relative to winter Children living in cold climates are less likely to be physically active in the winter.  相似文献   

Influences and Experiences Affecting the Pro‐environmental Behaviour of Educators     

Joy A. Palmer  Jennifer Suggate 《Environmental Education Research》1996,2(1):109-121

This paper examines the relative importance of various categories of influence and formative life experiences on the development of environmental educators’ knowledge and concern for the environment. The authors analyse the ways in which the importance of influences may change through time or be affected by the subject's age. Conclusions are drawn and discussed, including the crucial role of the family and of childhood experiences outdoors in promoting the development of concern for the environment and pro‐environmental adult behaviour.  相似文献

A Place to Protest     

Joy Jenkins  J. David Wolfgang 《Journalism Practice》2017,11(8):960-979

The national media converged on Baltimore, Charleston, and Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 and 2015 to cover protests in response to police violence toward African American males. Although national and local media covered the events and the aftermath, alternative media sought to provide additional viewpoints and spur readers to respond. This study analyzed the practices, content, and public discourse connected to alternative weekly newspapers in Baltimore, Charleston, and St. Louis. The study examined whether the publications reflected ideal roles of alternative media, including representing different viewpoints, using non-traditional methods of content, and providing a space for the public to challenge systems of power and oppression. The authors also studied the online forums associated with all three publications, including each organization’s website and Facebook page, as potential spaces for alternative publics to emerge around a shared interest in collective action. The publications showed some characteristics of the ideal form of alternative media, but most lacked the diverse voices and critical calls to action needed to represent the normative standard. The discourse the news organizations spurred also fell short of the ideal. The forums lacked rational and critical engagement, and commenters largely failed to promote sincere attempts to engage in community conversation.  相似文献

For-profit schools in England: the state of a nation     

Joy Martin 《教育政策杂志》2013,28(5):726-741

Abstract

Trends towards the marketisation of the schooling sector have led to suggestions that state-funded schools in England will soon be allowed to operate on a for-profit basis. This article has two aims: to contribute to understanding of the regulation and characterisation of existing for-profit schools in England; and to assess the claim that for-profit schools ‘significantly outperform’ all independent schools by exploring the use of large scale databases including the National Pupil Database (NPD). This study highlights the growth of the for-profit sector, and the scarcity of legislation detailing the financial governance, educational oversight and staffing requirements of schools in the for-profit schooling sector. The for-profit schooling sector is found to be underperforming in terms of school inspection ratings at a level of statistical significance in comparison to the state funded schooling sector. Furthermore, performance indicators relating to GCSE and A level results suggest that the for-profit sector is underperforming compared to the not-for-profit independent sector. As such, the findings of this research have implications in undermining the neoliberal argument that has driven significant change in the schooling landscape in recent times.  相似文献   

The Role of the Centre in the Professional Development of Teachers     

Joy Wells 《School Leadership & Management》2013,33(2):145-148

The study builds on earlier work which considered changes in the use of staff other than teachers (associate staff) in maintained primary and secondary schools. The focus of the study is on the introduction of staffing innovations (how they originated, how they were implemented, perceived advantages and difficulties, estimated cost effectiveness) in a new kind of educational institution – the City Technology College. The authors seek to illuminate theories of implementing change in a contemporary educational setting. The article reports on the first year's work and indicates some emergent issues.  相似文献
