Social‐emotional well‐being and resilience of children in early childhood settings – PERIK: an empirically based observation scale for practitioners     

Toni Mayr  Michaela Ulich 《Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development》2009,29(1):45-57

Compared with the traditional focus on developmental problems, research on positive development is relatively new. Empirical research in children's well‐being has been scarce. The aim of this study was to develop a theoretically and empirically based instrument for practitioners to observe and assess preschool children's well‐being in early childhood settings. The analysis of preschool teachers' ratings yields six dimensions of social‐emotional well‐being: (1) making contact/social performance, (2) self control/thoughtfulness, (3) self‐assertiveness, (4) emotional stability/coping with stress, (5) task orientation, (6) pleasure in exploration. Composite scales were constructed. PERIK consists of six scales of six items each. The scales differentiate in both the upper and lower range and despite their brevity have good psychometric qualities. The instrument was published together with a booklet containing examples of how PERIK observations can be employed in practical work with children.  相似文献

Reading,learning and enacting: interpretation at visitor sites in the Wet Tropics rainforest of Australia     

Karen Elizabeth McNamara  Bruce Prideaux 《Environmental Education Research》2010,16(2):173-188

The northern Wet Tropics rainforest of Australia was declared a world heritage site in 1988 and now supports an extensive tourism industry that attracts an estimated 2.5 million local and international visits annually. As part of the visitor experience, many sites include both environmental and cultural interpretation experiences, which range from static displays to one‐on‐one guided tours. This paper identifies visitor demand and level of satisfaction with the static signage and displays used at rainforest sites throughout the Wet Tropics. The research involves visitor surveys conducted in 2007 and 2008 and observations at a number of rainforest sites. The results indicate that visitors consider the level of interpretation to be adequate, but appear to use it poorly. While higher at commercial sites, visitor interest in reading the interpretation is very low at public sites. Overall, this article seeks to address whether the aims of nature‐based interpretation, including education and the influencing of attitudes and site behaviour, are being achieved.  相似文献   

绘画创作与儿童视觉经验的发展     

赵跃庆 《四川师范学院学报》2010,(4):94-98

儿童美术教育的主要任务是发展儿童心智,即以审美形式为中介,引导儿童关注和体察各种事物（人、自然、社会以及内心精神）。大量实践证明,拓展儿童经验领域,对心智成长具有重要意义。美术学习作为一种拓展视觉经验的有效途径,亦即从视觉感知开始到视觉形象的创造,可丰富儿童的各种经验,尤其是视觉经验,从而使其心智得以全面、健康成长。  相似文献   

Action research on a collegial model of peer observations     

Burcu Tezcan-Unal 《Educational Action Research》2018,26(4):641-654

Observing peers for professional development is a familiar and valuable practice but not always favoured in many educational institutions. This small-scale action research (AR) was conducted in an institution where teachers are accustomed to regular peer observation, requiring each teacher to conduct peer observation and to reflect in their teachers’ portfolios. Conventionally, to fulfil the requirement each teacher finds a colleague to observe them either with or mostly without a certain focus. This study, however, employed action research methodology to inquire into a collegial peer observation model to improve this organisational practice. It aimed to promote mutual growth of the participating faculty members in an agreed area. Including the author, five faculty members, who are midcareer and experienced English language teachers, acted as members of the consultation group. In the AR project, appreciative inquiry was used when reflecting on the observed classes and during focus group interviews. As a result of this AR, at least two levels of knowledge were generated: first-person (author) and second-person (the team). The knowledge claim that this practitioner research constructed is ‘When small groups of teachers conduct peer observations focusing on a common concern, learning and collegial growth may increase.’ It is expected to lead to a third-person stage in the department and the academic community in general.  相似文献   

Leading Developmental Peer Observation of Teaching in Higher Education: Perspectives from Australia and England     

Dallas Wingrove  Linda Hammersley-Fletcher  Angela Clarke  Andrea Chester 《British Journal of Educational Studies》2018,66(3):365-381

Whilst peer observation of teaching is well established as a practice that can enhance teaching quality, the challenge to fully embed this practice in universities remains unresolved. This article analyses the perspectives of 18 university leaders (nine Australian and nine English) drawn from a range of school-based leaders to senior leaders of learning and teaching. Our study indicates that some of the challenges associated with leading such schemes can be mitigated through approaches to educational leadership that enact a respectful and collegiate ethos. This we suggest can support developmental academic engagement in peer observation for positive and lasting change.  相似文献

社会科学背景下因果推论的统计方法     

辛涛  李峰 《北京师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2009,(1)

如何根据非随机数据估计变量间的因果关系是社会科学研究中一个迫切的方法论问题。上世纪70年代,Rubin等人指出因果问题本质上是一个反事实的问题,认为某些统计方法可保证混淆变量和分组安排独立,并将这种方法推广到观察数据的分析中。倾向分数、工具变量和回归间断点是三种常用的方法,其中倾向分数居核心地位。以实际数据为例建立计算倾向分数的logistic模型,报告了模型的整体检验、预测变量的显著性检验和多重共线性检验、建立匹配组和分析结果报告。  相似文献   

Dynamics of the game in soccer: Detection of T-patterns     

《European Journal of Sport Science》2013,13(3):216-224

Abstract

Traditional approaches to the quantification of team sports have proved to be limited in their ability to identify complex structural regularities that, despite being unobservable, nonetheless underlie the development of the sporting contest between opposing teams. This paper describes a method for detecting the dynamics of play in professional soccer through the analysis of temporal patterns (T-patterns). The observation instrument used was SOF-5, which is especially designed for studying the dynamics of the game in soccer. The recording consisted of within-session monitoring using the MATCH VISION STUDIO 3.0 software, while the THEME software was used to detect and analyse T-patterns. These T-patterns revealed regularities in the playing style of the observed team, FC Barcelona. The structures detected included a ball possession pattern, whereby the ball was first kept in the central zone before being played forward, through several moves, into the zones closest to the opposing team's goal in order to disrupt the latter's equilibrium. The results obtained show that it is possible to identify stable temporal structures that provide information about concurrent interaction contexts with respect to lateral position and zone. As such, the proposed methodology appears to be useful in detecting complex structures within the game of soccer, structures which may help coaches to design attacking and defensive strategies.  相似文献
