Maximizing and assessing a one-shot information literacy session: A case study     

Esther L. Gil 《Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship》2017,22(2):97-110

This case study describes collaboration between an instructor and business librarian to maximize a one-shot information literacy session for a required marketing class for business majors. It includes an active-learning exercise where groups use three key business databases to conduct a company and industry analysis and an environmental scan for a company. The instructor then guides them in developing a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT) analysis. This session prepares students for the SWOT analysis they will have to submit for their actual projects. This article includes assessment of groups' in-class exercises as well as citation analysis of the assignments they turned in for their actual projects.  相似文献

Empowering Engineering College Staff to Adopt Active Learning Methods     

David Pundak  Shmaryahu Rozner 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2008,17(2):152-163

There is a growing consensus that traditional instruction in basic science courses, in institutions of higher learning, do not lead to the desired results. Most of the students who complete these courses do not gain deep knowledge about the basic concepts and develop a negative approach to the sciences. In order to deal with this problem, a variety of methods have been proposed and implemented, during the last decade, which focus on the “active learning” of the participating students. We found that the methods developed in MIT and NCSU were fruitful and we adopted their approach. Despite research-based evidence of the success of these methods, they are often met by the resistance of the academic staff. This article describes how one institution of higher learning organized itself to introduce significant changes into its introductory science courses, as well as the stages teachers undergo, as they adopt innovative teaching methods. In the article, we adopt the Rogers model of the innovative-decision process, which we used to evaluate the degree of innovation adoption by seven members of the academic staff. An analysis of interview and observation data showed that four factors were identified which influence the degree innovation adoption: (1) teacher readiness to seriously learn the theoretical background of “active learning”; (2) the development of an appropriate local model, customized to the beliefs of the academic staff; (3) teacher expertise in information technologies, and (4) the teachers’ design of creative solutions to problems that arose during their teaching.  相似文献

基于线性自抗扰控制的船舶航迹积分滑模控制器   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

邱峰  李伟  宁君 《上海海事大学学报》2017,38(3):12-17

为解决欠驱动船舶航迹直线和曲线跟踪控制问题,选取能解决航向不稳定等非线性问题的Bech模型,借助双曲正切函数,构造期望艏向方程,将航迹控制问题转化为航向控制问题。设计3阶跟踪微分器,对期望艏向及其微分信号进行精确提取。采用变结构积分滑模面函数设计非线性误差反馈控制律,加快系统收敛速度,提出基于线性自抗扰控制(Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control,LADRC)的船舶航迹积分滑模控制器。该控制器的线性扩张状态观测器对系统内外总扰动进行在线估计与实时补偿;引入Hurwitz多项式,减少需整定的参数。仿真结果表明,航迹收敛快速准确,无超调,对外界干扰具有较强的鲁棒性。控制器参数具有一定的普适性,故其适用范围广。  相似文献

A case for cautious optimism? Active citizenship and the Australian civics and citizenship curriculum     

Andrew Peterson  Brendan Bentley 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》2017,37(1):42-54

In late 2013 a new curriculum for Civics and Citizenship education was published by the Australian Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority for use in Australian schools. In line with previous curricular initiatives concerning education for citizenship in Australia a key rationale behind the new subject is the education of “active citizens”. Research evidence over the last 25 years paints a mixed picture regarding the extent to which the translation of policy intent has been successfully implemented within Australian schools. Exploring the new subject of Civics and Citizenship in Australia in the context of previous initiatives and existing research evidence, we explore the contested and complex nature of active citizenship around three key issues – the scope and form of action that constitutes citizenship in one’s communities, how young people themselves conceptualize and experience participation, the potential that active citizenship opportunities are interpreted as being synonymous with the use of active teaching and learning methods. On this basis we argue that the new curriculum provides some optimism for those committed to education for citizenship in Australian schools, but that this optimism needs to be tempered with a degree of caution.  相似文献   

Situational interest and academic achievement in the active-learning classroom     

Jerome I. Rotgans  Henk G. Schmidt 《Learning and Instruction》2011,21(1):58-67

The aim of the present study was to investigate how situational interest develops over time and how it is related to academic achievement in an active-learning classroom. Five measures of situational interest were administered at critical points in time to 69 polytechnic students during a one-day, problem-based learning session. Results revealed that situational interest significantly increased after the problem stimulus was presented. Subsequently, situational interest gradually decreased but at the end of the day increased again. Testing a path model relating the situational interest measures showed strong (directional) interrelations. Moreover, situational interest was highly predictive for observed achievement-related classroom behaviors. The latter, in turn, proved to be a significant predictor of academic achievement. Aggregating situational interest over the day led to less accurate predictions of achievement-related classroom behaviors and academic achievement. Implications of these findings for situational interest research are discussed.  相似文献
