Can Technology Offer a Means of Mentoring Pre-service Teachers about Diversity?     

JoAnn Phillion 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2013,21(1):43-52

This article discusses a project which has the goal of raising the awareness of pre-service teachers about the needs and potentials of low-income minority students through using technology to develop a comentoring community composed of teacher educators, teachers, pre-service students and elementary students. Using the interactive capabilities of video conferencing over the Internet, pre-service teachers engage in a 'virtual' field experience with a bilingual grade three classroom in a distant inner-city school. Pre-service teachers involved in the programme have the opportunity to be involved with students they would not experience in the local area, to be mentored by a teacher with knowledge of diversity, and to use technology in meaningful, productive ways. Benefits for participants—faculty, pre-service teachers, teachers in the school, and students in host classrooms—implications for pre-service teachers' understanding of diversity and limitations of the technology are discussed. 1  相似文献   

The Immigrant Paradox in the Problem Behaviors of Youth in the United States: A Meta-analysis     

Jacqueline L. Tilley  Stanley J. Huey Jr.  JoAnn M. Farver  Mark H.C. Lai  Crystal X. Wang 《Child development》2021,92(2):502-516

This meta-analysis synthesizes the empirical data on problem behaviors among foreign- (G1) and U.S-born (G2+) youth and explores the effects of immigrant status on youth internalizing and externalizing problems. A random effects meta-regression with robust variance estimates summarized effect sizes for internalizing and externalizing problems across 91 studies (N = 179,315, M_age = 13.98). Results indicated that G1 youth reported significantly more internalizing problems (g = .06), and fewer externalizing problems than G2+ youth (g = −.06). Gender and sample type moderated the effects. The findings provide a first-step toward reconciling mixed support for the immigrant paradox by identifying for whom and under what conditions the immigrant experience serves as a risk or protective factor for youth.  相似文献

Temperament, Emotion, and Cognition at Fourteen Months: The MacArthur Longitudinal Twin Study     

Robert N. Emde  Robert Plomin  JoAnn Robinson  Robin Corley  John DeFries  David W. Fulker  J. Steven Reznick  Joseph Campos  Jerome Kagan  Carolyn Zahn-Waxler 《Child development》1992,63(6):1437-1455

200 pairs of twins were assessed at 14 months of age in the laboratory and home. Measures were obtained of temperament, emotion, and cognition/language. Comparisons between identical and fraternal twin correlations suggest that individual differences are due in part to heritable influences. For temperament, genetic influence was significant for behavioral observations of inhibition to the unfamiliar, tester ratings of activity, and parental ratings of temperament. For emotion, significant genetic influence was found for empathy and parental ratings of negative emotion. The estimate of heritability for parental report of expression of negative emotions was relatively high, whereas that for expression of positive emotions was low, a finding consistent with previous research. For cognition and language, genetic influence was significant for behavioral indices of spatial memory, categorization, and word comprehension. Shared rearing environment appears influential for parental reports of language and for positive emotions, but not for other measures of emotion or for temperament.  相似文献   

Maternal intrusiveness, maternal warmth, and mother-toddler relationship outcomes: variations across low-income ethnic and acculturation groups   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Ispa JM  Fine MA  Halgunseth LC  Harper S  Robinson J  Boyce L  Brooks-Gunn J  Brady-Smith C 《Child development》2004,75(6):1613-1631

The present study investigated the extent to which maternal intrusiveness and warmth during play, observed in 579 European American, 412 African American, and 110 more and 131 less acculturated Mexican American low-income families when children were approximately 15 months old, predicted 3 dimensions of the mother-toddler relationship 10 months later. Intrusiveness predicted increases in later child negativity in all 4 groups. Among African Americans only, this association was moderated by maternal warmth. Intrusiveness predicted negative change in child engagement with mothers only in European American families. Finally, near-significant trends suggested that intrusiveness predicted later decreased dyadic mutuality in European American and more acculturated Mexican American families, but not in African American or less acculturated Mexican American families.  相似文献

International field experiences: The impact of class,gender and race on the perceptions and experiences of preservice teachers     

Erik Malewski  JoAnn Phillion 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2009

We explore ways class, gender and race complicate perceptions and experiences of preservice teachers during an international field experience in Honduras. Data were collected over 5 years through observations, group discussions, course assignments, and on-site focus group interviews and post-trip individual interviews. An inductive approach combined with cross-comparative analysis reveal diverse ways class, gender and race shaped and re-shaped preservice teachers' perceptions of self, peers, and host community members. We conclude with a call for international cross-cultural experiences that encourage preservice teachers to critically examine their perspectives, positions in the host community, and learning during study abroad.  相似文献   

Cognitive Style and Learning Strategies JoAnn Salvisberg looks at current SLA theories and their possible applications to the classroom situation

People learn and process new information in different ways.For decades researchers have been studying and com- paring the personality traits any cognitive learning styles of students to discover any distinguishing trait patterns(i.e.more characteristic of academically successful students than other learners).Moreover,many believe that if the classroom envi- ronment and even the teachers‘teaching style can be tailored to meet the students‘learning styles,learning as well as the students‘self-concept as a ...  相似文献   

Endurance of Undergraduate Attitudes Toward Older Adults     

Brooke Funderburk  JoAnn Damron-Rodriguez  Lené Levy Storms  David H. Solomon 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(6):447-462

This cross-sectional study assessed undergraduate attitudes toward older adults and attitude endurance 3 to 18 months after aging coursework. Survey respondents included 349 students who took an aging elective and 430 comparison students. Aging-elective students indicated more positive attitudes than comparison students. Attitudes did not vary across 3 groups staggered by time elapsed from completing the course until testing (3 to 18 months). 4 variables accounted for the variance in attitudes toward elders at a statistically significant level: majoring in biology, having frequent or occasional contact with unrelated older adults, taking an aging course, and post-course knowledge of aging.  相似文献   

Examination of the Psychometric Properties of the Knowledge of Aging for Social Work Quiz     

Kayoko C. Nakao  JoAnn Damron-Rodriguez  Frances P. Lawrance  Patricia J. Volland 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(10):761-771

Using graduate social work students' data (n = 481) in the Hartford Partnership Program for Aging Education (HPPAE) in the United States, the study examined psychometric properties of the Knowledge of Aging for Social Work Quiz (KASW), a revision of the Facts on Aging Quiz, to evaluate biopsychosocial knowledge relevant to social work. We examined the intercorrelations of the KASW with the academic and practice experience in aging and score differences by the specialization and school year, and estimated the internal consistencies as reliability. Results showed the convergent validity of the KASW, indicating the items measured theoretically related areas of content with students' skills and experiences in aging. The internal consistencies, nevertheless, remained relatively low, representing the items that failed to measure the expected constructs of biopsychosocial domains. The KASW will be further refined to more sensitively identify students' knowledge deficiencies by selecting an optimal panel of items in biopsychosocial content areas and by providing information relevant to the pedagogical agenda and guidance in field education.  相似文献
