Great experiments in physics     

Amit Roy 《Resonance》1998,3(11):8-17

Tunneling between two superconductors was first predicted theoretically and then observed experimentally. The discovery ofthis effect has led to measurements of extremely tiny magnetic fields, new standard measurements of volt amongst other things. The experiments in which Josephson effect was first observed is described.  相似文献   

Interpreting Apartheid: Visitors' Perceptions of the District Six Museum     

Roy Ballantyne 《Curator: The Museum Journal》2003,46(3):279-292

This paper builds on and extends the conceptualization of “hot” interpretation (Ballantyne and Uzzell 1993) by presenting empirical data regarding visitors' perceptions of the District Six Museum in Cape Town, South Africa. The study examines visitors' reasons for visiting, expectations of the visit, responses to the visit, and suggestions for change, in relation to the differing needs of previous residents, local and international visitors. Results of the study are discussed in terms of the need to facilitate connections between interpretive content and visitors' previous experiences and knowledge. The paper considers issues of hot interpretation when a community museum increasingly attracts national and international visitors.  相似文献   

Examining the boundaries of HPT through the lens of communities of practice     

Ria Roy  James A. Pershing 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》2012,25(2):79-105

Despite its existence for over six decades, the practice of human performance technology (HPT) has not been widely accepted within organizations. Varying levels of confusion surround the understanding of HPT, which has been influenced by myriad fields and disciplines. Although HPT is focused on improving performance at the organizational, team, and individual levels, it does not own the practice of performance improvement. The goal of optimal performance across various functions and levels within an organization is not confined to HPT but extends to process improvement, human resource development, organizational development, knowledge management, and several other areas. Therein lies the problem: A lack of consideration about the boundaries that delineates the field has ramifications for both the research on and the practice of HPT. This study examines the domains and disciplines that HPT proponents consider central to the field.  相似文献   

All the (Natural) World's a Stage: Museum Theater as an Educational Tool     

Roy Hawkey 《Curator: The Museum Journal》2003,46(1):42-59

This paper describes a range of theatrical events developed by the Education Unit of the Natural History Museum, London. Theater is used to target non‐traditional audiences, thereby helping meet the museum's educational mandate in innovative ways. The museum's galleries have recently hosted a variety of characters, traditional and contemporary, historical and fictional, in a number of dramatic formats: ensemble pieces, role‐playing, puppetry, dance, mime, and acrobatics. The examples described here provide the occasion for exploring related issues, such as the museum's overall objectives for the program, the responses of visitors, and the spatial and temporal limitations to the design process.  相似文献
