Continual changes in information technologies over the past three decades have wrought substantial changes in library services and in information-seeking behavior among the general public. Thus the necessity for libraries to utilize the internet to communicate with stakeholders is even more important for academic libraries, as the rate of internet usage among those with college degrees continues to outpace that of the general population. The online availability of a well-crafted mission statement is therefore crucial. This analysis of the web sites of 113 ARL academic libraries—an update of Kuchi's (2006) study—considers the inclusion (availability) and placement (accessibility) of mission statements on library web sites and provides insights into the academic library's use of such statements for communicating mission and purpose to different stakeholders. 相似文献

Issues surrounding the implementation of the integration imperative during infancy and early childhood present formidable challenges to education and community providers. Key among these issues is how professionals provide high-quality services to young children with disabilities in mainstream environments. This article explores current issues related to integration and reexamines the concept of "best practices" as it applies to mainstreaming during the early childhood years. The author recommends an integrated set of indicators for high-quality programs and describes an outcomes-based process for making administrative and pedagogical decisions. 相似文献

This article challenges two widely-held beliefs about the differences in the performance of boys and girls at school. The 'gap' between the achievement of boys and girls is not growing, and may be shrinking. The gap is not predominantly a problem of low achievement, nor is it uniformly distributed across the range of attainments. The gap, in favour of girls, mainly appears at the higher levels in any assessment. The change in understanding of the nature of the gender gap described here comes from simple methodological advances in the analysis of gendered results in examination and statutory assessments. The implications for research and policy in this area are substantial, since unless the nature of the problem is well understood research may be directed at explicating, and policy directed at ameliorating, a gender gap of a form which simply does not exist. For example, while disaffection from the process of education may be a very real problem and certainly one that is worthy of research, there is little evidence here that it is primarily a gender-related problem. 相似文献

Despite substantial efforts across postsecondary education to increase minority participation in study abroad, the homogeneity
of study abroad participants remains largely unchanged (Dessoff in Int Educ 15(2):20–27, 2006; Shih in , 2009). This study applies an adaptation of an integrated student choice model (Perna in Higher education: Handbook of theory and
research, 2006; Salisbury et al. in Research in Higher Education 50:119–143, 2009) to identify differences between white and minority (African-American, Hispanic, and Asian-American) students across measures
of human, financial, social, and cultural capital previously shown to influence aspirations to study abroad (Salisbury et
al.). Analysis of data from 6,828 students at 53 institutions participating in the Wabash National Study on Liberal Arts Education
suggests numerous differences between racial groups with considerable implications for institutions, scholars, and policymakers. 相似文献

Most of the currently available instructional design models were conceptualized to develop instructional solutions to needs
and requirements that remain relatively stable over time. Faced with the problem of designing a knowledge management (KM)
system that needed to accommodate continuously changing requirements over its fielded lifetime, we developed a new design
model that is based on a living-systems approach. In this article, we briefly review currently available instructional systems
design models and describe this new model and the mechanisms it contains for accommodating change and growth. We illustrate
the application of the phases of the model (analyze initial requirements, design the information architecture, develop the
information design, develop the interaction design, implement the Web-based system, and conduct a developmental evaluation
of the system) in the development of a KM system with living-system features.

Background:Despite the strong evidence of aerobic exercise as a disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s disease(AD)in animal models,its effects on cognition are inconsistent in human studies.A major contributor to these findings is inter-individual differences in the responses to aerobic exercise,which was well documented in the general population but not in those with AD.The purpose of this study was to examine inter-individual differences in aerobic fitness and cognitive responses to a 6-month aerobic exercise intervention in community-dwelling older adults with mild-to-moderate dementia due to AD.Methods:This study was a secondary analysis of the Effects of Aerobic Exercise for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease(FIT-AD)trial data.Aerobic fitness was measured by the shuttle walk test(SWT),the 6-min walk test(6MWT),and the maximal oxygen consumption(VO2max)test,and cognition by the AD Assessment Scale-Cognition(ADAS-Cog).Inter-individual differences were calculated as the differences in the standard deviation of 6-month change(SDR)in the SWT,6MWT,VO2max,and ADAS-Cog between the intervention and control groups.Results:Seventy-eight participants were included in this study(77.4±6.3 years old,mean±SD;15.7±2.8 years of education;41%were female).VO2max was available for 26 participants(77.7±7.1 years old;14.8±2.6 years of education;35%were female).The SDR was 37.0,121.1,1.7,and 2.3 for SWT,6MWT,VO2max,and ADAS-Cog,respectively.Conclusion:There are true inter-individual differences in aerobic fitness and cognitive responses to aerobic exercise in older adults with mild-tomoderate dementia due to AD.These inter-individual differences likely underline the inconsistent cognitive benefits in human studies. 相似文献

This study of further education teachers, conducted over a two-year period, captures the realities of their working lives and, in particular, draws attention to how teachers reconcile competing pressures. This contributes to the growing interest in and body of knowledge about teachers' lives and the formation of their professional identities. The study draws on a variety of data including ethnographic observation, journals and biographical accounts to indicate the nature of their fractured professional base that leaves them open to exploitation. The ongoing pressure for performativity and constant change destabilises their work, yet they remain committed to meeting the needs and interests of their students. 相似文献

This study applies an integrated model of college choice to better describe students who do and do not intend to study abroad.
Although internationalization through study abroad is widely touted as a preferred means of developing globally competent
college graduates, very little is known about the factors that influence students’ predisposition to study abroad. This research
explores the impact of financial, human, social, and cultural capital on students’ intent to study abroad. Analysis of data
from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education (WNSLAE) demonstrates a complex interplay between SES, accumulated
pre-college capital, and capital acquired during the freshman year. Important implications for national policy makers, senior
administrators, study abroad professionals and higher education researchers are discussed. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe study investigated whether 10 minutes of attachment enhancing play delivered daily over 2 weeks could improve adult-child relationships and whether this bettered the way they functioned socially and emotionally. The attachment enhancing play was based on Theraplay® principles and utilized the 4 dimensions of ‘Structure, Engagement, Nurture, and Challenge’. The sample was of 5 different adult/child dyads in 5 different schools. All the children had identified Social, Emotional, Behavioural Difficulties and each adult led the attachment activities with the children they were supporting. Following the 2-week intervention there was a real change in each of the adult/child relationships. The Goodman’s SDQ and a Boxall Profile were completed, a month apart, before and after the intervention. The SDQ overall stress scores reduced for all the children and on average by 29%. The Boxall Profile showed improvement in scores that indicate that the children were more able to ‘accept constraints’ and ‘accommodate and respond constructively to others’. Pianta’s ‘Student-Teacher Relationship Scale’ results indicated an improvement in closeness and an even better reduction in conflict in the relationships. The activities were the only change to the children’s routine, so the inference is that the intervention created the conditions for change. 相似文献
