What parents say about children’s inequality of opportunities: a study in Mauritius     

C. Morabito  E. Carosin 《Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development》2017,37(4):423-437

Longitudinal studies showing the beneficial impact of early childhood education on later academic achievement have contributed to persuading policy-makers and academia that early childhood is the best time to address inequalities. However, the voice of parents is often absent from these debates. We investigated the perspectives of parents on children’s inequalities of opportunities and on the role of education and early childhood care in equalising life chances. The study specifically explored the views of 26 parents in the sub-Saharan African country of Mauritius through focus group discussions. Findings of the study suggested that parents tend to adhere to the discourse of parental responsibility as a key factor in children’s inequalities. Yet they also showed that parents have potential to criticise and deconstruct this narrative, as they experience structural circumstances, such as poverty or discrimination, shaping their life opportunities and those of their children.  相似文献   

Utilizing Service Learning in a College-Level Human Sexuality Course     

Dusty D. Jenkins 《American journal of sexuality education》2017,12(1):20-34

Implementing service learning into college courses has been shown to have positive benefits for both students and community members; however, service learning has not been largely evaluated in the literature on human sexuality courses. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to design, implement, and evaluate a service learning project in a human sexuality class. Students who were enrolled in a human sexuality class designed and delivered two outreach presentations at their university as part of their service learning projects. The presentations were geared toward other college students with specific majors (i.e., future teachers and athletic coaches) and focused on areas related to child and youth sexuality. Overall, the service learning projects garnered positive support from both the students and the attendees at the presentations. Thus, results suggest that service learning is a useful pedagogical tool that college level instructors might consider implementing into their human sexuality courses.  相似文献   

Review of The Atlas of Erotic Anatomy and Arousal     

Lorena Olvera Moreno 《American journal of sexuality education》2017,12(3):337-341

The Atlas of Erotic Anatomy and Arousal is online video education that explores sexual pleasure and sexual anatomy from a sex positive perspective. Written and presented by a sex educator and therapist, Cyndi Darnell, this video is an excellent resource for adult individuals interested in learning about their bodies and having fulfilling sexual experiences with their partners. The video series provides scientifically accurate and pleasure-based information about the anatomy of the vulva, the penis, and the anus, and the physiology of orgasm and ejaculation, in an entertaining manner.  相似文献   

Socially shared metacognition of dyads of pupils in collaborative mathematical problem-solving processes     

Tuike Iiskala  Marja Vauras Erno Lehtinen  Pekka Salonen 《Learning and Instruction》2011,21(3):379-393

This study investigated how metacognition appears as a socially shared phenomenon within collaborative mathematical word-problem solving processes of dyads of high-achieving pupils. Four dyads solved problems of different difficulty levels. The pupils were 10 years old. The problem-solving activities were videotaped and transcribed in terms of verbal and nonverbal behaviours as well as of turns taken in communication (N = 14 675). Episodes of socially shared metacognition were identified and their function and focus analysed. There were significantly more and longer episodes of socially shared metacognition in difficult as compared to moderately difficult and easy problems. Their function was to facilitate or inhibit activities and their focus was on the situation model of the problem or on mathematical operations. Metacognitive experiences were found to trigger socially shared metacognition.  相似文献   

创造有意义的学习经历——对高校人文素质教育的思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

陈来仪  朱旭梅 《四川教育学院学报》2011,27(2):101-105

如何提高高校人文素质教育质量,美国著名的教育学者迪·芬克提出的创造有意义的学习经历这一教育理念值得我们借鉴。创造有意义的学习经历可以突破传统的教育思维,从思想到行动进行人文素质教育全面建构,缩短人文素质教育与社会实践的距离。我们可以从课堂上,设计与实施主题交流、课堂辩论、模拟情境、小组学习、案例教学等有意义的学习经历,同时,设计和增加服务学习、体验学习、观察学习、真实项目等有意义的课外学习经历。  相似文献   

The Experience of Doctoral Studies in the UK and France: differences in epistemology,research objects and training     

Kuang-Hsu Chiang 《European Journal of Education》2011,46(2):257-270

This article investigates how doctoral students perceive their research education in different disciplines in two higher education systems, the UK and France. It explores what underlies the diversity of doctoral students' experiences. Three theoretical positions are identified: the epistemological position, conceptualisation of research objects and organisational structures of research training. A questionnaire on the experiences of research training was distributed to doctoral students in Economics & Management (representative of social sciences) and Chemistry (representative of natural sciences) in France and was compared to a survey carried out earlier in Education (representative of social sciences) and Chemistry (representative of natural sciences) in the UK. Strikingly, similar disciplinary patterns were found in the doctoral research experiences in the two countries. The findings were used to review the three theoretical positions on the experiences of doctoral studies.  相似文献   

Interest,enjoyment and pride after failure experiences? Predictors of students’ state-emotions after success and failure during learning in mathematics     

Maria Tulis  Mary Ainley 《教育心理学》2011,31(7):779-807

The current investigation was designed to identify emotion states students experience during mathematics activities, and in particular to distinguish emotions contingent on experiences of success and experiences of failure. Students’ task-related emotional responses were recorded following experiences of success and failure while working with an individualised computer-based mathematics learning environment. In addition, relations between these patterns of emotional responses after success and failure experiences and trait-like motivational variables, self-concept of ability, subject value, orientation to learning from errors, goal orientation and causal attributions, were examined. Two separate studies are reported. In Study 1 emotions associated with success and failure experiences in mathematics were investigated in relation to self-concept of ability, subject value and orientation to learning from errors. In Study 2, patterns of emotion following success and failure were examined in relation to students’ goal orientation and their causal attributions for success in school.  相似文献

关于空间实验室(站)发展技术途径的思考          下载免费PDF全文

庞之浩 《中国科学院院刊》2011,26(2):142-149

苏联/俄罗斯、美国、欧洲和日本等国已先后发展了载人航天器。虽然他们采用了不同的战略和途径,但总的技术路线都是先研制技术较为简单、载人时间较短的空间实验室,然后研制技术较为复杂、载人时间较长、用途更为广泛的空间站。由于各国在发展空间实验室（站）的模式上有很大差异,因此所获得的成果也有天壤之别。通过分析、归纳和比较国外空间实验室（站）的发展技术途径,可以发现不少值得借鉴的经验与教训,对我国空间实验室（站）的发展战略和技术途径有一定启示。  相似文献
