Benefits of Batch Reclamation: The Kent State University Libraries Experience     

Roman S. Panchyshyn 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2013,51(1):3-16

Bibliographic records in the Innovative library catalog at Kent State University Libraries had fallen out of synchronization with the Libraries’ holdings represented on OCLC's WorldCat database. The Libraries made a decision to undertake a batch reclamation project with OCLC to re-synch their holdings on WorldCat. This project was beneficial for both parties. OCLC received a clean copy of the Libraries’ database, while the Libraries were able to improve the quality of their local bibliographic data and address problem areas in the catalog. This case study is intended to provide a reference for other libraries considering OCLC batch reclamation projects.  相似文献   

Vocal and visual cue training in behavioral lie detection     

Mark A. deTurck  Thomas H. Feeley  Lori A. Roman 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(3):249-259

The present study tested the effect of training observers to detect deception using different behavioral cues. Participants were trained to detect deception using either:(1) vocal‐only cues, (2) visual‐only cues, or (3) a combination of vocal and visual cues. A fourth group of observers did not receive any training and served as a control. Results indicated that trained observers were more successful than untrained observers in detecting deceptive communication. More specifically, observers trained to use either visual or both visual and vocal cues were more accurate detectors of deception than untrained naive observers. No differences were found between training conditions with respect to determining the veracity of truthful communication.  相似文献   

A comparison of the methodological quality of articles in computer science education journals and conference proceedings     

Justus J. Randolph  George Julnes  Roman Bednarik  Erkki Sutinen 《Computer Science Education》2013,23(4):263-274

In this study we empirically investigate the claim that articles published in computer science education journals are more methodologically sound than articles published in computer science education conference proceedings. A random sample of 352 articles was selected from those articles published in major computer science education forums between 2000 and 2005. Each article was then coded in terms of five indicators of methodological quality. It was found that there were no practically or statistically significant differences between the articles published in journals and those published in conference proceedings on any of the indicators of methodological quality. One implication of this finding is that those who evaluate the academic output of computer science education researchers should be wary of arbitrarily prescribing more academic merit to journal publications than conference publications.  相似文献   

Success in elite cycling: A prospective and retrospective analysis of race results

Abstract

The development of peak performances is a main research focus in sports science. It is unclear how many former top junior athletes achieve success in the elite class later. The aim of the present study was to examine the careers of athletes who participated in major junior or adult/elite cycling events using prospective and retrospective analysis of competition results. The official results of major junior (age ≤ 18 years) and elite (age > 18 years) cycling races from 1980 to 2004 were analysed. Age-related aspects, career lengths, and success were compared between riders who presented results in both junior and elite races (JUNIOR ELITE) and riders who had no junior race results (ELITE ONLY). Altogether, 27,454 results of 8004 athletes from 108 countries were collected. We found that 29.4% of the elite athletes had participated in junior World Championships, and that 34% of the participants in junior World Championships later participated in major elite competitions. JUNIOR ELITE athletes are significantly more successful in several cycling disciplines and have their first and last elite result at a younger age than ELITE ONLY athletes. No difference was found in career lengths. The data presented here emphasize the importance of long-term training programmes in the development of peak performance in cycling.  相似文献   

Eye-tracking verification of the strategy used to analyse algorithms expressed in a flowchart and pseudocode     

Magdalena Andrzejewska  Anna Stolińska  Władysław Błasiak  Paweł Pęczkowski  Roman Rosiek  Bożena Rożek 《Interactive Learning Environments》2016,24(8):1981-1995

The results of qualitative and quantitative investigations conducted with individuals who learned algorithms in school are presented in this article. In these investigations, eye-tracking technology was used to follow the process of solving algorithmic problems. The algorithmic problems were presented in two comparable variants: in a pseudocode and flowchart. The eye-tracking data resulted in both qualitative (films registering the gaze paths) and quantitative measures, which allowed the detection and interpretation of the differences in the task-solving strategies between those who found the correct answer and those that did not. The results confirmed a hypothesis that use of the formal notation characteristic of a programming language for presenting algorithms is often a practical difficulty in the process of solving even simple tasks. This study opens a new direction of research; they show that eye-tracking technology can be used to optimise the educational process of learning programming.  相似文献   

Fostering Creativity in Young Adults: Some Findings on the Structure and Dynamics of Creativity     

Iva Pýchová 《High Ability Studies》1996,7(1):55-63

Following current theories of creativity, a special syllabus and teaching materials were designed for a ten month study of Business College 4th year undergraduates (n = 16). Entry and outcome creativity were measured before and after the training, using Urban and Jellen's TCT‐DP, and these scores were compared with those of a control group (n= 11). The students' IQs were measured with Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices, and their attitudes were measured with structured interviews. Results from the experimental group indicated an increase in creativity. Moreover, the development of individual components of creative thinking, as measured during the course of the experiment, provided an interesting insight into the structure and dynamics of creativity. Some components seem more variable and subject to extrinsic influences (e.g., emotional appraisal, viewing a problem in perspective), others appear to be more independent, while still others can be regarded as permanent cognitive strategies of creative individuals. IQ was not correlated with creativity.  相似文献   

Eco-School in kindergartens: the effects,interpretation, and implementation of a pilot program     

Jan Cincera  Roman Kroufek  Petra Simonova  Lenka Broukalova  Vaclav Broukal  Jan Skalík 《Environmental Education Research》2017,23(7):919-936

This study presents an analysis of a Czech pilot project in implementing the Eco-School program in kindergartens. The evaluation applied a mixed design that included pre/post testing of children using picture-based questionnaires, and interviews with the teachers responsible for conducting the program. The findings revealed a significant increase in the pro-environmental attitudes of the children (N = 419) between the pre-test and the post-test. The results of the qualitative part showed a broad spectrum of the ways in which the program was interpreted by the teachers (N = 16): while some teachers interpreted the program in a highly instrumental way, others interpreted it as emancipatory. Their different ways of interpreting the program led the teachers to different models of distribution of power between the adults and the children. Some of the teachers made the effort to establish a democratic participation of the children in setting the program agenda, but others manipulated the children to obtain their agreement with pre-selected activities. Although the study did not find any evidence that the instrumental implementation of the program would be less effective in promoting children’s attitude change, it showed differences in the interpretation of the merit of the program among the teachers.  相似文献   

Reading for meaning: The foundational knowledge every teacher of science should have     

Alexis Patterson  Diego Roman  Michelle Friend  Jonathan Osborne  Brian Donovan 《International Journal of Science Education》2018,40(3):291-307

Reading is fundamental to science and not an adjunct to its practice. In other words, understanding the meaning of the various forms of written discourse employed in the creation, discussion, and communication of scientific knowledge is inherent to how science works. The language used in science, however, sets up a barrier, that in order to be overcome requires all students to have a clear understanding of the features of the multimodal informational texts employed in science and the strategies they can use to decode the scientific concepts communicated in informational texts. We argue that all teachers of science must develop a functional understanding of reading comprehension as part of their professional knowledge and skill. After describing our rationale for including knowledge about reading as a professional knowledge base every teacher of science should have, we outline the knowledge about language teachers must develop, the knowledge about the challenges that reading comprehension of science texts poses for students, and the knowledge about instructional strategies science teachers should know to support their students’ reading comprehension of science texts. Implications regarding the essential role that knowledge about reading should play in the preparation of science teachers are also discussed here.  相似文献
