In three experiments, we compared the effectiveness of rainbow writing and retrieval practice, two common methods of spelling instruction. In experiment 1 (n?=?14), second graders completed 2 days of spelling practice, followed by spelling tests 1 day and 5 weeks later. A repeated measures analysis of variance demonstrated that spelling accuracy for words trained with retrieval practice was higher than for words trained with rainbow writing on both tests (η _p ² ?=?.49). In experiments 2 (second graders, n?=?16) and 3 (first graders, n?=?12), students completed 2 days of spelling practice followed by a spelling test 1 day later. Results replicated experiment 1; spelling accuracy was higher for words trained with retrieval practice compared with rainbow writing (η _p ² ?=?.42 and .64, respectively). Furthermore, students endorsed both liking and learning from retrieval practice at least as much as (and sometimes more than) rainbow writing. Results demonstrate that retrieval practice is a more useful (and as engaging) training method than is rainbow writing and extend the well-established testing effect to beginning spellers.  相似文献   

Placement-based learning and learner engagement: findings from a new university in the UK     

Timothy R.N. Murphy  Pilar Folgueiras Bertomeu  Patricia Mannix McNamara 《Irish Educational Studies》2016,35(1):17-34

This paper addresses the potential for engaged learning among final-year undergraduate Education Studies students at a new, post-1992. It discusses a case study analysis of a ‘Directed Experiential Learning’ (DEL) intervention in the final year of an education studies degree designed to engage and motivate students and emphasise the links between theory and practice for them. Implementation took place in 2012–2013 with a cohort of 37 students and quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed afterwards to investigate the perspectives of students (online questionnaire and interview with 2 students) and tutors (4 individual interviews) on the DEL approach applied. The study described should be of particular interest to those teaching on and designing third level education studies programmes as well as related disciplines that might participate in integrated working arrangements in practice (e.g. nursing, social care).  相似文献   

远程教育机构管理新模式:推进非洲开放远程学习——在“2008世界开放与远程教育论坛”上的主题报告     

巴尼·皮特亚纳  夏冬杰 《开放教育研究》2008,14(6):40-42

给我指定的演讲题目是“远程教育机构管理新模式”。我不知道为什么给了我这样一个主题,可能是因为我当了很长时间校长的缘故吧。坦率而言,关于这一主题,在座的各位比我更懂,我很难讲出超过你们智慧的东西。但是我首先要说明的是,我不是一个管理理论方面的专家,在这里我只是就我的一些管理智慧与大家分享。因此,关于如何理解高等教育机构的管理,我只能就我的经验所及讨论一些问题。我不会过多聚焦于远程教育机构,因为管理远程教育机构与管理普通高等教育机构相比,并没有太大的差异。  相似文献   

Interpretations of constructivism and consequences for Computer Assisted Learning   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Barney Dalgarno 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2001,32(2):183-194

The changes that have occurred in accepted approaches to teaching and learning in recent years have been underpinned by shifts in psychological and pedagogical theory, culminating in moves towards a constructivist view of learning. This paper looks at the consequences of these theoretical shifts for Computer Assisted Learning (CAL).
Moshman has identified three interpretations of constructivism: endogenous constructivism which emphasises learner exploration, exogenous constructivism which recognises the role of direct instruction, but with an emphasis on learners actively constructing their own knowledge representations and dialectical constructivism which emphasises the role of interaction between learners, their peers and teachers. This classification scheme provides a framework for looking at the various constructivist approaches to CAL.
For example, constructivist CAL materials that draw on the endogenous view include hypermedia environments, simulations and microworlds. Materials that draw on the exogenous view include learner controlled tutorials, cognitive tools and practice modules. Lastly, materials that draw on the dialectical view include Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) tools and support (or scaffolding) tools.  相似文献   

Exploring the digital natives among pre-service teachers in Turkey: a cross-cultural validation of the Digital Native Assessment Scale     

Timothy Teo  Işıl Kabakçı Yurdakul  Ömer Faruk Ursavaş 《Interactive Learning Environments》2016,24(6):1231-1244

This study aims to explore the digital natives among a sample of pre-service teachers and in the process, examine the validity of a Turkish adaptation of the digital native assessment scale (DNAS) [Teo, T., & Fan, X. (2013). Coefficient alpha and beyond: Issues and alternatives for educational research. The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 22(2), 209–213]. Five hundred and fifty-seven participants completed a survey questionnaire in Turkish measuring their responses on the DNAS, developed from a proposed four-factor research. Confirmatory factor analysis and multiple indicators, multiple causes modelling were used to analyse the data and an acceptable fit was found, suggesting that the DNAS is a valid measure for participants who are older living in another culture. While the pre-service teachers had mostly regarded themselves as digital natives, significant differences were only found by years of computer use and perceived competence but no significant differences were found for gender and age.  相似文献   

Linked phrase indexing     

Timothy C. Craven 《Information processing & management》1978,14(6):469-476

LIPHIS (Linked Phrase Indexing System) is a system of computer-assisted permuted subject indexing designed, like its precursor NEPHIS, to be economical and to be as easy as possible for the indexer, for the programmer, and for the user of the index. Unlike NEPHIS, LIPHIS is designed to handle more complex networks of concept relations, and so produce better indexing of highly detailed subjects.  相似文献   

The impact of load on lower body performance variables during the hang power clean     

Timothy J. Suchomel  George K. Beckham  Glenn A. Wright 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2014,13(1):87-95

This study examined the impact of load on lower body performance variables during the hang power clean. Fourteen men performed the hang power clean at loads of 30%, 45%, 65%, and 80% 1RM. Peak force, velocity, power, force at peak power, velocity at peak power, and rate of force development were compared at each load. The greatest peak force occurred at 80% 1RM. Peak force at 30% 1RM was statistically lower than peak force at 45% (p = 0.022), 65% (p = 0.010), and 80% 1RM (p = 0.018). Force at peak power at 65% and 80% 1RM was statistically greater than force at peak power at 30% (p < 0.01) and 45% 1RM (p < 0.01). The greatest rate of force development occurred at 30% 1RM, but was not statistically different from the rate of force development at 45%, 65%, and 80% 1RM. The rate of force development at 65% 1RM was statistically greater than the rate of force development at 80% 1RM (p = 0.035). No other statistical differences existed in any variable existed. Changes in load affected the peak force, force at peak power, and rate of force development, but not the peak velocity, power, or velocity at peak power.  相似文献   

The effect of national culture on partner buyouts in cross-border biotechnology alliances     

Timothy B. Folta  Walter J. Ferrier 《The Journal of High Technology Management Research》2000,11(2):175-198

This study examines how national culture influences the likelihood and rate of buyouts among R&D equity alliances and joint ventures in the biotechnology industry. We hypothesize that the interaction of specific national culture attributes and cultural differences between alliance partners have an impact on: (1) the amount of endogenous uncertainty surrounding the potential integration of the target firm and (2) the marginal rate of learning in hierarchical versus collaborative governance. Applying a competing hazard model to a sample of 173 joint ventures and minority equity collaborations in the biotechnology industry, we found that investing firms from high power distance and high uncertainty avoidance countries are more likely to buy out their alliance partners. Furthermore, greater cultural distance between alliance partners increases the likelihood of partner buyout when investing firms are from high power distance countries.  相似文献

Planning for Andrew: the use of COACH and VISTA in an inclusive preschool program     

Michael F. Giangreco  Timothy Whiteford  Lucie Whiteford  Mary Beth Doyle 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1998,45(4):375-396

This case study chronicles the use of two educational planning tools, COACH (Choosing Outcomes and Accommodations for Children: A Guide to Educational Planning for Students with Disabilities) and VISTA (Vermont Interdependent Services Team Approach: A Guide to Coordinating Educational Support Services) for Andrew, a 4‐year‐old child with Down syndrome, who attends a general education preschool. The article documents the decisions his team made using COACH and VISTA and describes the findings of follow‐up interviews with his parents, preschool teacher, special educator, and speech/language pathologist. The findings offer insights into the benefits and limitations of these approaches at the preschool level. Implications for facilitating communication and decision‐making among team members are discussed.  相似文献
