The role of evidence in educational psychology
Full text linkEvidence has a key underlying role in the practice of educational psychology in defining ‘change’, one of the central themes of this volume. The success of the Educational and School Psychologist as an agent of change across the core functions of consultation, assessment, intervention, training and practitioner research (Birch, Frederickson, & Miller, 2015; Boyle, 2011; Dunsmuir & Kratochwill, 2013) hinges upon an understanding of the nature of ‘evidence’ and how it informs practice. In this chapter, we will consider the nature of evidence and its relationship to professional practice. Educational and School Psychologists not only generate evidence themselves about underlying processes, outcomes, and the acceptability, feasibility and impact of the implementation of interventions, but are also ‘consumers’ of research findings (Frederickson, 2002) as they engage with the literature to determine the best available evidence for practice

Legislative context and shared practice models
Full text linkThe application of psychological theory to the practice of educational psychology does not take place in a political or conceptual vacuum: the duties of EPs in the UK have reflected the prevailing goals, values and understandings embedded in the legislation of the time (Boyle & MacKay, 2010; MacKay & Boyle, 2013; Wooldridge, 1994). In turn, EPs have influenced statutes, government circulars and guidance and local education authority policy, most notably in the areas of special educational needs and social inclusion, with more recent developments reflecting the paradigm shift of the 1970s and 1980s from a medical model of assessment and intervention to a more ecological, educational approach (Gillham, 1978; Kirkaldy, 1997). This chapter considers the impact of legislative and policy contexts upon the practice of educational psychology and the impact of this practice upon legislation and policy in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the four distinctive education systems of the UK. The extent to which legislation has created contexts which have given rise to shared models of practice within these systems and may thus be regarded as a framework per se in its own right for such practice will also be discussed together with the implications for future developments in the UK. Readers interested in developments outwith the UK are referred to the reviews of legislation, policy, organisation and EP practice in over 40 countries by Jimerson, Oakland & Farrell (2007) and Boyle & Lauchlan (2014) and to Dahl, Hoff, Peacock and Ervin’s (2012) review of the impact of legislation on the practice of school psychology in the US
DiStiNCT: Synchronizing nodes with imprecise timers in distributed wireless sensor networks
No full textAn effective and robust time synchronization scheme is essential for many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Conventional synchronization methods assume the use of highly accurate crystal oscillators (10--100 ppm) for synchronization, only correcting for small errors. This paper suggests a novel method for time synchronization in a multi-hop, fully-distributed WSN using imprecise CMOS oscillators (up to 15,000 ppm). The DiStiNCT technique is power-efficient, computationally simple, and robust to packet loss and complex topologies. Effectiveness has been demonstrated in simulations of fully connected, grid and uni-directional ring topologies. The method has been validated in hardware on a grid of nine sensor nodes, synchronizing to within a mean error of 6.6 ms after 40 iterations
The legislative context and shared practice models
No full textThis textbook assesses existing and emerging practice frameworks in educational psychology and their relation to theory.Covering current frameworks, such as the Monsen et al. Problem-Solving Framework, the Integrated Problem Solving Framework for Practitioners and the Constructionist Model, as well as emerging approaches, such as Systemic Solution Focussed Models and Positive Psychology Frameworks, contributors explore how they support educational psychology. The editors consider how existing and emerging frameworks help address current demands for professional accountability, transparency and effectiveness. They conclude with an exploration of the complex methodology and highly integrated approach required by contemporary educational psychologists.This textbook will be an invaluable resource for all practising educational psychologists, students, trainers, and educators
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
