Developing Vocabulary and Conceptual Knowledge for Low-Income Preschoolers

The purpose of this design experiment was to research, test, and iteratively derive principles of word learning and word organization that could help to theoretically advance our understanding of vocabulary development for low-income preschoolers. Six Head Start teachers in morning and afternoon programs and their children ( N = 89) were selected to participate in the World of Words, a 12-min daily supplemental vocabulary intervention; six classes ( N = 89) served as a comparison group. Our questions addressed whether the difficulty of words influenced the acquisition and retention of words and whether learning words in taxonomies might support vocabulary development and inference generation. We addressed these questions in two design phases for a total intervention period of 16 weeks. Pre- and post-unit assessments measured children’s expressive language gains, categorical development, and inference generation. Significant differences were recorded between treatment and comparison groups on word knowledge and category development. Furthermore, children in the treatment group demonstrated the ability to infer beyond what was specifically taught. These results suggest that instructional design features may work to accelerate word learning for low-income children.

How Do School Administrators Use Mental Models for the Distribution of Technology Resources?

Research-based evidence for the application of Senge’s learning organization principles to technology resources is needed for K-12 administrators on school resource distribution in order to enhance student learning. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine how mental models were used by administrators for the distribution of technology resources within a school district. Data were collected from six K-12 administrators who were purposefully selected to participate in face-to-face interviews. Data were analyzed using a thematic, within-case analysis. The findings indicated that the participants implement Senge’s principles for the distribution of technology resources. The local school district and institutes of higher education may benefit from having an awareness of the application of Senge’s learning organization model for school resources to be more equitably distributed.

Collective learning, change and improvement in health care: trialling a facilitated learning initiative with general practice teams

Many patients, families, health care professionals and politicians desire for quality improvement within the UK National Health Service. One way to achieve this change is for health care teams to work and learn together more effectively. This research aimed to design and trial a facilitated learning programme with the aim of supporting general practice teams in fostering the characteristics of learning organizations. This is an action research study. Qualitative data were captured during and after the trial from 40 participants in two multi-professional general practice teams within different Scottish health boards. Data were gathered using observations, semi-structured interviews and written learning notes. Taking part in the LPP was a positive experience of learning together as a practice and enhanced communication within the team was a particular outcome. External facilitation helped provide focus and reduce inter-professional barriers. Teams found working in small, mixed role discussion groups particularly valuable in understanding each others' perspectives. The active learning style of the LPP could be daunting at times but teams valued the chance to identify their own quality improvement goals. Teams introduced a number of changes to improve the quality of care within their practice as a result of their participation. This trial of the learning practice programme shows that, with facilitation and the appropriate input of resources, general practice teams can successfully apply learning organization principles to produce quality improvement outcomes. The study also demonstrates the value of action research in researching iterative change over time.
