This study compares the effects of three different evaluation conditions on the “continuing motivation” of grade school students in Iran and the U.S. In both cultural groups, the highest continuing motivation was shown by students in a self-evaluation condition followed, in order, by students in the peer comparison and teacher evaluation conditions. While the generalizability of evaluation effects is perhaps the most striking finding, it may he noted that these effects were to some extent modified by individual differences in achieving orientation and sex role. Also of interest were the effects of performance level on continuing motivation, In this case, higher levels of performance on the task were generally followed by greater continuing motivation. The theoretical implications of this and other findings were discussed in terms of Current achievement theory. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to explore a) which dimension of student ratings and which aspects of perceived instruction are affected by the two organizational factors, enrollment size and academic affiliation, and b) the nature of their effect. Two thousand five hundred students participating in 125 courses evaluated their instructors on Q-1 Evaluation of Instruction by Students. The 125 evaluated instructors responded to Q-2 Perception of own Instruction indicating the extent to which they employ various teaching planning and strategy attributes (TPS). Major findings suggest that academic affiliation has no effect on student ratings yet affects abstract aspects of perceived instruction. Instructors of the social sciences, unlike those of the humanities, manifest a vocational outlook in their instruction planning. Data indicate that enrollment size has an effect on the dimensions of student ratings and the perceived instruction, referring to concrete aspects of teaching. Students participating in small classes are more critical of instruction than those in larger classes. The nature of its effect on perceived instruction is mainly in terms of practical solutions of teaching methods and strategies and is hardly manifested in the planning phase of instruction. The relevance of these findings to university administrators is also discussed. 相似文献

This study examines the predictive validity of three commonly used nursing school admission indices, that is, scholastic aptitude test scores, matriculation grades, and evaluations of performance in a group interview situation, in a sample of 321 Israeli nursing school students. Grade point average, supervisor evaluation of clinical internship, and scores on a government certification exam served as primary indices of criterion performance. Whereas composite aptitude test scores correlated moder ately with both grade point average and certification exam scores, matriculation grades correlated negligibly with all three criterion measures. Group interview ratings correlated moderately with clinical performance, but negligibly with the remaining criteria. Aptitude test scores were not found to be biased predictors of criterion performance by ethnicity or social background. The implications of these findings for the selection of nursing school candidates in Israel are discussed. 相似文献

Although understandings of scientific inquiry (as opposed to conducting inquiry) are included in science education reform documents around the world, little is known about what students have learned about inquiry during their elementary school years. This is partially due to the lack of any assessment instrument to measure understandings about scientific inquiry. However, a valid and reliable assessment has recently been developed and published, Views About Scientific Inquiry (VASI; Lederman et al. [2014], Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 51, 65–83). The purpose of this large-scale international project was to collect the first baseline data on what beginning middle school students have learned about scientific inquiry during their elementary school years. Eighteen countries/regions spanning six continents including 2,634 students participated in the study. The participating countries/regions were: Australia, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Mainland China, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United States. In many countries, science is not formally taught until middle school, which is the rationale for choosing seventh grade students for this investigation. This baseline data will simultaneously provide information on what, if anything, students learn about inquiry in elementary school, as well as their beginning knowledge as they enter secondary school. It is important to note that collecting data from all of the approximately 200 countries globally was not humanly possible, and it was also not possible to collect data from every region of each country. The results overwhelmingly show that students around the world at the beginning of grade seven have very little understandings about scientific inquiry. Some countries do show reasonable understandings in certain aspects but the overall picture of understandings of scientific inquiry is not what is hoped for after completing 6 years of elementary education in any country. 相似文献

This study examines young children’s ideas about natural science phenomena and explores possibilities in starting investigations
in kindergarten from their ideas. Given the possibilities inherent in how young children make sense of their experiences,
we believe it is critical to take children’s perspectives into consideration when designing any activities, and ideally, to
design activities from their perspectives and understandings. Specifically, this research focuses on 5- and 6-year old children’s explanations of
rainbows, and there are three main findings. First, our analysis demonstrates that opportunities to discuss their ideas revealed
children’s different perceptions of the phenomena of rainbows. Secondly, this research emphasizes that peer-to-peer interaction
in the co-construction of science concepts provided support to the children to learn from, and with, each other. Third, children’s initial explanations provided the teacher-researcher (second author) with a starting point
to scaffold her teaching from. Although rainbows are quite an abstract topic to try to reproduce in the classroom, the children
demonstrated their often sophisticated understandings of natural science phenomena, as well as their creative ideas as related
to rainbows. In order to foster an appreciation of themes in natural science, it is crucial to build from what children already
know and can do, and to use these emergent theories and considerations in designing curriculum. Thus, we draw implications
for the importance of teaching science at the early childhood level and for using children’s ideas as starting points in planning
instruction. 相似文献

To further explain the relationship between teaching, research, and service, ninety full-time, tenure-track faculty were classified into types based on peer ratings in each of these three areas. The classification was determined using one method of cluster analysis and was validated in two ways: (1) by comparing initial results to those from a second method of cluster analysis and (2) through comparisons of faculty types on additional measures, for example, number of research publications, research grant dollars, and teaching awards. Results supported five discrete, faculty types: All Stars, Teachers and Good Citizens, Researchers, Teachers, and Uninvolved. This current mixture of faculty types is a result of past administrative decisions and will likely shape future decisions in the school. 相似文献
