Book excerpt: Which matters more - beliefs about absolute ability or ability relative to others? This study set out compare their effects on self-evaluations, decisions under uncertainty, performance attribution, and perceived relevance of the task to one's self-concept. 415 participants were told they had gotten 20% correct, 80% correct, or were not given then their scores on a practice test. Orthogonal to this manipulation, participants learned that their performance placed them in the 23rd percentile or 77th percentile, or they did not receive comparative feedback. They were then given a chance to place bets on two games - one in which they needed to get more than 50% right (absolute bet), and one in which they needed to beat more than 50% of other test-takers (comparative bet). Absolute feedback had strong and consistent influences on participants' bets, performance attributions, perceived task importance, satisfaction with performance, and state self-esteem. The effects of comparative feedback were weaker and less consistent. These findings suggest that information about one's absolute standing on a dimension may be more influential than information about comparative standing, supporting Festinger's (1954) assertion that social comparison was only necessary when objective information was unavailable.

Book excerpt: We need to confess and truly believe that all authority on earth has been given to Jesus and that he exercises that authority by means of the gospel and the Holy Spirit. But not only must we believe this, as if there is no evidence for it, but we must come to see that authority at work century after century in the history of the western world. Furthermore we must see the results of that authority in the concrete structures of human culture in the countries where the gospel has had most effect. Real history, real success, real shaping of civilization by the truth of the gospel of the Lord Jesus. Time is moving onward under the decisive power of truth, justice, love, and peace.

Download or read book The Invention of Journalism Ethics Second Edition written by Stephen J.A. Ward and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does objectivity exist in the news media? In The Invention of Journalism Ethics, Stephen Ward argues that given the current emphasis on interpretation, analysis, and perspective, journalists and the public need a new theory of objectivity. He explores the varied ethical assertions of journalists over the past few centuries, focusing on the changing relationship between journalist and audience. This historical analysis leads to an innovative theory of pragmatic objectivity that enables journalists and the public to recognize and avoid biased and unbalanced reporting. Ward convincingly demonstrates that journalistic objectivity is not a set of absolute standards but the same fallible but reasonable objectivity used for making decisions in other professions and public institutions. Considered a classic in the field since its first publication in 2004, this second edition includes new chapters that bring the book up to speed with journalism ethics in the twenty-first century by focusing on the growing dominance of online journalism and calling for a radical approach to journalism ethics reform. Ward also addresses important developments that have occurred in the last decade, including the emergence of digital journalism ethics and global journalism ethics.

Download or read book Curriculum and the Teacher written by Nigel Norris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though the curriculum can be tightly specified and controlled by strong accountability mechanisms, it is teachers who decisively shape the educational experiences of children and young people at school. Bringing together seminal papers from the Cambridge Journal of Education around the theme of curriculum and the teacher, this book explores the changing conceptions of curriculum and teaching and the changing role of the teacher in curriculum development and delivery. The book is organised around three major themes: Taking its lead from Lawrence Stenhouse, Part One looks at ‘defining the curriculum problem’ from a variety of perspectives and includes papers from some of the most influential curriculum theorists over the last thirty years. Part Two explores the framing of new orders of educational experience. It has papers from leading educational thinkers who have contributed to debates about how to make education more inclusive, humane, liberating, creative and educational. Part Three is focused on teachers and teaching. It offers a selection of papers from significant scholars in the field reflecting on the experience of teaching and how it is personally as well as socially constructed and theorised. The papers are drawn from important and eventful periods of educational history spanning the curriculum reform movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the present age of surveillance, accountability and control. A specially written Introduction contextualises the papers. Part of the Routledge Education Heritage series, Curriculum and the Teacher presents landmark texts from the Cambridge Journal of Education, offering a wealth of material for students and researchers in education.
