Arousal and affective responses to writing styles     

Lewis Donohew 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(2):109-119

Although arousal measures have been employed to predict responses to television programs and music, they have not been used previously to evaluate print media. In this study, skin conductance response (SCR) and a mood scale were used to measure physiological and affective responses to three factors of newswriting style: narrative vs. traditional; direct quotations vs. paraphrased statements; and active vs. passive verbs and adjectives. News stories about the mass suicides in Guyana were used as stimulus materials. Narrative style generated the strongest SCR responses. Narrative style, direct quotations, and active verbs and adjectives interacted to produce the most positive affective responses. The study raises a number of questions about the nature of responses to reading.  相似文献

A Challenge to Established Assessment Practice   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Lewis Elton 《Higher Education Quarterly》2004,58(1):43-62

The article looks back 35 years to a challenge on examination practices, based on common assumptions at the time. It notes that many – although not all – of these assumptions are still accepted in much of current practice, although some have been examined by researchers and found wanting extensively in the intervening time. The particular assumptions investigated relate to the distribution, recording and use of examination results, the demand for uniformity of treatment, the comparability of degrees, the assessment of imponderables and the use and value of external examiners.  相似文献   

Democracy and Social Studies Education at the Junior Secondary School Level in Botswana     

Michael Bamidele Adeyemi  & Lewis Asimeng&#;Boahene 《Pastoral Care in Education》2001,19(2):15-20

This paper briefly examines the concept of democracy, its relationship to education and its African context. The meaning and value of democracy in African society is discussed and it is suggested that traditional political systems represented a particular kind of democracy. It then focuses on the extent to which the concept of democracy is covered in the junior secondary school social studies syllabus in Botswana. Finally the authors make some recommendations for curricular improvement in education for democracy at the junior secondary level in Botswana as part of the continuing attempt to produce the effective citizen for the new millennium.  相似文献

Reference, or advisory, groups involving disabled people: reflections from three contrasting research projects     

Ann Lewis  Sarah Parsons  Christopher Robertson  Anthony Feiler  Beth Tarleton  Debby Watson  Richard Byers  Jill Davies  Ann Fergusson  Claire Marvin 《British Journal of Special Education》2008,35(2):78-84

Increasingly in recent years, the involvement of disabled people as co-researchers has been regarded as 'good practice'. This has been informed by growing participatory and emancipatory research paradigms as well as user-focused policy imperatives. The benefits of these shifts apply to the research itself (improved definition, direction, applicability and impact), to non-disabled researchers (personal growth and enhanced understanding of the reflexive research process), to people with disabilities involved as researchers or collaborators (personal growth and enhanced opportunities), and (if externally funded) to the funder whose ways of operating are likely to be challenged profoundly. In this paper, Ann Lewis, Sarah Parsons and Christopher Robertson (based at the University of Birmingham), Anthony Feiler, Beth Tarleton and Debby Watson (based at the University of Bristol) and Richard Byers, Jill Davies, Ann Fergusson and Claire Marvin (based at the University of Cambridge) discuss the work of three independent research teams carrying out concurrent projects. The authors share their experiences of trying to take seriously the participation of disabled people in research. All three projects were informed, to a significant degree, by their respective reference groups of disabled people. The work of these groups in each of the three projects is outlined and then discussed in relation to five common themes: formal contracts with members of reference groups; considerations concerning drawing on an established reference group; planning for reference group involvement; style of reference group involvement; and building on good practice.  相似文献   

The definition of academic merit     

Lionel S. Lewis  Vic Doyno 《Higher Education》1983,12(6):707-719

Through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of 417 recommendations for merit salary awards, this article examines how faculty and administrators at an American university define merit. Particular attention is paid to how the academic characteristics of a writer or recipient affect the type of case made and the relative weight given teaching, research, and service in the letters. The assessment of what determined merit varied by discipline and rank. It was also found that teaching is less valued than administrative service and research.  相似文献
