Paired peer learning through engineering education outreach     

Laura Fogg-Rogers  Fay Lewis  Juliet Edmonds 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2017,42(1):75-90

ABSTRACT

Undergraduate education incorporating active learning and vicarious experience through education outreach presents a critical opportunity to influence future engineering teaching and practice capabilities. Engineering education outreach activities have been shown to have multiple benefits; increasing interest and engagement with science and engineering for school children, providing teachers with expert contributions to engineering subject knowledge, and developing professional generic skills for engineers such as communication and teamwork. This pilot intervention paired 10 pre-service teachers and 11 student engineers to enact engineering outreach in primary schools, reaching 269 children. A longitudinal mixed methods design was employed to measure change in attitudes and Education Outreach Self-Efficacy in student engineers; alongside attitudes, Teaching Engineering Self-Efficacy and Engineering Subject Knowledge Confidence in pre-service teachers. Highly significant improvements were noted in the pre-service teachers’ confidence and self-efficacy, while both the teachers and engineers qualitatively described benefits arising from the paired peer mentor model.  相似文献   

Peer facilitated writing groups: a programmatic approach to doctoral student writing     

Vijay Kumar  Claire Aitchison 《Teaching in Higher Education》2018,23(3):360-373

Very few empirical studies have investigated programmes in which doctoral students act as peer facilitators in faculty writing groups. We report on the development of a centrally delivered doctoral student writing programme in which twenty student participants were mentored and provided with the resources to initiate their own faculty-based doctoral writing groups. ‘Legitimate peripheral participation’ was used as a conceptual lens to interpret the data collected during the establishment and evaluation of the programme. All student participants in the preparatory training course, which was developed in consultation with postgraduate students and research supervisors, went on to become doctoral writing peer facilitators of peer writing groups. Insights from seven of these showed how a well-structured and supportive programme harnessed the benefits of peer learning by bringing personal rewards to participants and building institutional capacity around doctoral research writing literacies.  相似文献   

Anti-racist moral education: A review of approaches,impact and theoretical underpinnings from 2000 to 2015     

Ingrid Lynch  Sharlene Swartz  Dane Isaacs 《Journal of moral education》2017,46(2):129-144

Racism is a moral issue and of concern for moral educators, with recent social movements such as #BlackLivesMatter highlighting how far we are from obliterating racial oppression and the unearned privilege whiteness confers. To contribute to a more formalised approach to anti-racist moral education, this article systematically reviews 15 years of peer-reviewed scholarship concerned with anti-racist education, to establish the definitions and aims of anti-racist education drawn on, the theoretical frameworks underpinning these, the methods used in education efforts, and their intended impact. It also considers the geo-political aspects of knowledge production in the field, such as author country location and implementation context of empirical studies. It concludes with implications for moral education in classroom and community contexts and advocates for anti-racist moral education that comprise three interconnected components—making visible systemic oppression (visibilising), recognising personal complicity in oppression through unearned privilege (recognising) and developing strategies to transform structural inequalities (strategising).  相似文献

Health literacy and consumer health information     

Maria J. Grant PhD 《Health information and libraries journal》2023,40(1):1-2

The rigours of the past few years have demonstrated the importance of good health literacy levels with the imperative of being able to obtain and interpret information to maintain and improve one's health never more apparent. With this in mind, this issue is focused on consumer health information, the gender and population group differences that exist in information seeking behaviour, the challenges of understanding medical explanations and terminology, and existing criteria to assess and ultimately produce better consumer health information.  相似文献   

我国普通高等学校强化班研究述评     

马金妮 《柳州师专学报》2011,26(6):62-65

我国对高校强化班的研究始于20世纪80年代,重点集中在探索创新人才培养的新模式上。最近十年来,该论题研究有了深入的发展,这些研究主要集中在三个方面：对北京大学强化班的研究;对国内其他高校强化班的个案研究;对各类强化班的特征概述。但这些研究仍存在些问题：强化班培养理念与管理机制关系问题研究较少,侧重应试教育而忽视实践教育,严重忽视心理学在强化班课程体系中的重要地位。  相似文献
