Through a gender lens: explaining North‐Eastern Thai women’s participation in adult literacy education     

PIERRE WALTER 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2013,32(5):423-441

This ethnographic study employs a gender perspective to understand the motivations of eight women literacy learners participating in a village‐based functional literacy programme in rural North‐eastern Thailand. Field research took place over six months of periodic residence in a North‐eastern Thai village, and involved participant observation, individual interviews and informal focus groups. An analysis of the women’s reproductive, productive and community roles, and their practical and strategic gender needs (Moser ) is used to frame findings on the women’s participation in the literacy programme. In brief, although the women valued educational programmes that reduced the burden of their reproductive labour, offered income‐generating opportunities in their productive roles and supported their leadership roles in the community, the village literacy programme had limited effect in addressing these practical gender needs. However, because a patriarchal ideology and Buddhist institutions had denied the women access to schooling as children, they now saw the literacy programme as both a symbolic return to school and a collective women’s space to advocate for more desirable adult educational programmes. In these ways, the programme addressed their strategic gender needs. The study argues that a gender lens is critical in explaining women’s participation in literacy programmes and in designing literacy education for development.  相似文献

Fluctuation – a common but neglected pattern of physical activity behaviour: An exploratory review of studies in recent 20 years     

Borui Shang  Wendy Yajun Huang  Walter Brehm 《European Journal of Sport Science》2018,18(2):266-278

Background: Regular physical activity (PA) is beneficial for physical and psychological well-being, yet many people do not achieve these health benefits due to irregular PA participation which is also known as fluctuation. Limited attention has been given to the phenomenon of fluctuation in the PA behaviour literature. Objective: The aim of this review was to explore and to map definitions, measurements, behavioural evidence, and factors related to PA fluctuation. Methods: Eligible studies were initially identified by a systematic search of articles conducted in four databases: Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus between January 1996 and March 2016. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were set to check the eligibility of all articles. Additional articles were included by manual searching and expert recommendation. Results: Fifteen articles were finally included. Definitions of fluctuation are understood from two perspectives, either as a stage in the process of behaviour change, or as a particular PA phenomenon consisting of lapse and readoption. Common features were extracted: behavioural irregularity, high risk of drop-out, intention and readiness for PA, low automaticity, and limited self-regulation. Furthermore, fluctuation identification was summarised in three approaches such as stage algorithm, self-identified PA lapse and readoption, and prospective within-person variation in meeting the PA guidelines. Regarding the empirical evidence, this review found that people in PA fluctuation were significantly distinct from those in preparation and maintenance of PA behavioural performance, as well as distinct in psychosocial features. Conclusions: Notwithstanding the limitations, this review has provided valuable insight into the phenomenon of PA fluctuation.  相似文献   

The national politics of educational advocacy in the context of global governance: international funding and support for civil society engagement in Cambodia     

D. Brent Edwards Jr.  Willian C. Brehm  Inga Storen 《Compare》2018,48(2):171-188

This paper examines the Civil Society Education Fund’s (CSEF) impact on the non-governmental organisation education partnership (NEP) in Cambodia. With financial backing from the World Bank and the Fast Track Initiative, the CSEF is an initiative that is managed internationally by the Global Campaign for Education. Its goal is to help national networks of non-governmental organizations participate in education decision-making and to serve as a watchdog for progress related to internationally agreed upon goals. Through the CSEF, the deployment of various strategies, and other external factors, the NEP was able to able to achieve recognition, legitimacy and influence at the national level. However, the NEP has had to balance working with the state and working for the state. This case study highlights strategies used by civil society actors to engage state actors, the efficacy of international support, and the conflicts inherent in both.  相似文献   

A Set of Minitools for Education in Control System Analysis and Design     

PETER KOLB  MARTIN RICKLI  WALTER SCHAUFELBERGER 《European Journal of Engineering Education》1993,18(3):239-247

Summary Minitools are software tools that have been especially designed and implemented for use in education and on small industrial problems. They offer limited capabilities if compared to full-grown commercial systems but are much easier to learn and to use. Three such programs are introduced in this paper: DESolver for differential equation solving; Frequency for frequency response analysis and design; and BDE Sim for simulation and frequency response analysis from block diagrams. BlockSim, which is more a tool for implementation than a minitool, is also presented briefly. The four programs run on Macintosh and IBM compatible PCs. All programs are in the public domain; on the IBM PC a GEM desktop is needed to run them.  相似文献   

考察阶段模型的阶段性假说-一项银行员工体育锻炼行为的实证研究          下载免费PDF全文

本研究运用"柏林锻炼阶段"模型调查了211名银行员工的体育锻炼行为,并通过检验银行员工的锻炼自我效能变量和社会支持变量在各阶段中的非连续性模式和非线性趋势,考察了该阶段模型的阶段性假说.研究结果没有充分支持上述阶段性假说.未来研究仍需进一步修订该阶段模型.  相似文献
