Estudios experimentales del entorno preescolar: el Proyecto Sheffield     

Peter Smith  Kevin Connolly 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(29):33-43

RESUMEN

El proyecto Sheffield es un programa de investigación cuyo objeto es estudiar la influencia de las variables del entorno en los niños preescolares. Se examinaron cuatro variables: los recursos físicos (disponibilidad de material de juego), el tamaño del grupo, la proporción maestro-alumnos y la organización de la clase (juego libre versus actividad estructurada). Los resultados muestran que cada una de las variables estudiadas tiene ventajas y desventajas, dependiendo de los valores que queramos favorecer y de las competencias actuales de los niños. Los autores advierten sobre el riesgo de generalizar a partir de estudios como éste, ya que la interacción entre el sujeto y su entorno en los procesos educativos es muy compleja.  相似文献   

Personal belief in a just world, experience of teacher justice, and school distress in different class contexts     

Felix Peter  Claudia Dalbert  Nils Kloeckner  Matthias Radant 《European Journal of Psychology of Education - EJPE》2013,28(4):1221-1235

The study examined the meaning of personal belief in a just world and students’ experience of their teachers’ behavior toward them personally for school distress in different class contexts. The study involved 827 secondary school students from 61 classes (grades 9 to 11). Analyses revealed that the more the students believed in a personal just world, the more they felt their teachers’ behavior toward them personally to be just, and the less school distress they experienced; the association between belief in a just world (BJW) and school distress was partly mediated by students’ personal experience of teacher justice. These associations were stable across school tracks, schools, and classes. According to these results and the just world theory, a strong BJW seems to function as a rather context-independent personal resource for students, explaining their individual experience of teacher justice and school distress. Moreover, teacher justice seems to be a key feature of schools explaining students’ well-being at school.  相似文献   

Facilitating engagement in new career goals: the moderating effects of personal resources and career actions     

Anna Praskova  Peter A. Creed  Michelle Hood 《International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance》2013,13(2):115-134

Goal engagement in young adults is variable. We recruited university students to test whether general personal characteristics (educational ability, core self-evaluations, and well-being; study 1, N = 195) and career adaptive variables (career confidence, exploration, and planning; study 2, N = 152) facilitated career goal engagement. Goal engagement was associated positively with goal disengagement in study 1. Moderating effects showed that the positive relationship between engagement and disengagement was stronger when core self-evaluations and well-being (satisfaction) were high, and when career confidence, exploration, and planning were high. Results are discussed in the context of transitions and promoting adaptable career goals.  相似文献   

Promoting assessment efficacy through an integrated system for online clinical assessment of practical skills     

Peter J. Hay  Craig Engstrom  Anita Green  Peter Friis  Sue Dickens  Doune Macdonald 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2013,38(5):520-535

This paper presents evaluation outcomes from an externally funded research project involving the online clinical assessment of practical skills (eCAPS) using web-based video technologies within a university medical programme. eCAPS was implemented to trial this web-based approach for promoting the efficacy of practical skills assessment in knee joint examinations for a pre-clinical cohort of second year medical students. eCAPS involves a progressive organisation of online video experiences and task expectations for formative and summative assessments of selected competencies. Data are presented from semi-structured interviews with the medical students (N?=?40). eCAPS successfully supported students’ skill development in knee joint examinations on fellow students and allowed remote assessment of candidates’ performances by clinicians experienced in musculoskeletal examinations. An ‘indicative standard’ paradigm, involving formative assessment of one randomly selected performance from the submission of all students’ responses within a small group, offered an efficient and efficacious avenue for providing consolidated feedback to students and promoted desirable learning behaviours. Overall, there was evidence of reciprocal learning benefits to the ‘blending’ of an online learning and assessment approach with an existing face-to-face environment. The medical students were able to successfully engage online with high quality and consistent practical skill-based materials in a flexible, independent and individual manner.  相似文献   

Test “Oppression” and Recovery     

H. D. Richardson 《Clearing house (Menasha, Wis.)》2013,86(1):29-31

How can we avoid the "why new teachers cry" phenomenon and the high dropout rate for beginning teachers? Start teacher preparation with an introductory foundations class that is experience based and allows students to study themselves and their preferences for teaching styles, learning styles, and classroom management by living through case studies of sample lessons and classroom simulations. The author describes the nature of the course and presents research showing the effectiveness of the course for five academic years: 2000-1 through 2004-5.  相似文献
