A Review of:Tenny, C. S., Surkan, K. J., Gerido, L. H., & Betts-Green, D. (2021). A crisis of erasure: Transgender and gender-nonconforming populations navigating breast cancer health information. The International Journal of Information, Diversity, & Inclusion, 5(4), 132–149. https://doi.org/10.33137/ijidi.v5i4.37406 Objective – To understand the lived experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming populations in seeking health information about breast cancer.Design – Thematic literature review.Setting – Four English-language databases featuring clinical, patient engagement, and library and information sciences (LIS) research.Subjects – Twenty-one published articles.Methods – The researchers chose three concepts (trans, LGBTQ+, and breast cancer), identified related terms for each, and used these terms to conduct literature searches in four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Library Literature & Information Science Full Text, and Library, Information, Science & Technology Abstracts. Search results were reviewed for relevance to the research objective. The researchers applied grounded theory to analyze the 21 selected articles through open, axial, and selective (thematic) coding. The qualitative research software NVivo was used to perform thematic analysis of each article, and a shared codebook was developed to ensure saturation of axial themes and consistency of coding amongst researchers.Main Results – Three overarching themes emerged from selective coding that exemplify experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming persons seeking health information about breast cancer: access, erasure, and quality. Compared to their cisgender peers, these historically marginalized populations and their caregivers experience more difficulty accessing the already limited breast cancer information, healthcare, and support services suited to their needs. In particular, transgender and gender-nonconforming patients are often burdened with choosing between receiving health information and care designed for heteronormative persons and risking self-disclosure and possible discrimination by culturally incompetent health professionals.Conclusion – The researchers noted the alarmingly limited resources available for gender-nonconforming patients seeking information and support for health matters other than mental health or sexually transmitted diseases. The researchers also called for increased efforts by LIS curriculums and professionals to study and understand the needs of transgender and gender-nonconforming patrons, and to improve the quality and quantity of information resources specifically dedicated to these unique populations.
回顾:Tenny, c.s., Surkan, k.j., Gerido, l.h.和Betts-Green, D.(2021)。消除危机:跨性别和性别不一致的人群浏览乳腺癌健康信息。国际信息学报,5(4),132-149。https://doi.org/10.33137/ijidi.v5i4.37406目的-了解跨性别和性别不一致人群在寻求乳腺癌健康信息方面的生活经历。设计-专题文献综述。设置-四个英语数据库,包括临床,患者参与,图书馆和信息科学(LIS)研究。主题:21篇已发表的文章。研究人员选择了三个概念(trans, LGBTQ+和乳腺癌),为每个概念确定相关术语,并使用这些术语在四个数据库中进行文献检索:PubMed, Web of Science, Library literature & Information Science全文,and Library, Information, Science & Technology Abstracts。对搜索结果与研究目标的相关性进行审查。研究人员运用扎根理论,通过开放编码、轴向编码和选择性(专题)编码对21篇入选文章进行了分析。使用定性研究软件NVivo对每篇文章进行专题分析,并开发了共享代码本,以确保轴向主题的饱和和研究人员之间编码的一致性。主要结果-从选择性编码中产生了三个总体主题,这些主题体现了跨性别者和性别不一致者寻求乳腺癌健康信息的经历:获取、删除和质量。与顺性同龄人相比,这些历史上被边缘化的人群及其照顾者在获得本已有限的乳腺癌信息、医疗保健和适合其需求的支持服务方面遇到了更多困难。特别是,跨性别和性别不符合标准的病人往往要在接受健康信息和为异性恋者设计的护理之间做出选择,并冒着自我披露和可能受到文化上不称职的保健专业人员歧视的风险。结论:研究人员注意到,除了心理健康或性传播疾病之外,性别不一致的患者在寻求健康问题的信息和支持时,可获得的资源非常有限。研究人员还呼吁美国大学的课程和专业人员加大努力,研究和了解跨性别和性别不一致的顾客的需求,并提高专门为这些独特人群提供的信息资源的质量和数量。

A Review of:Stvilia, B., & Gibradze, L. (2022). Seeking and sharing datasets in an online community of data enthusiasts. Library & Information Science Research 44(3). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lisr.2022.101160Objective – To understand the major activities, tools, sources, and challenges of online communities focused on datasets.Design – Content analysis informed by activity theory.Setting – The r/Datasets subreddit, a web forum for sharing, seeking, and discussing datasets.Subjects – 1232 “hot” or “top” discussion threads (1232 original posts and 6813 responding comments) first posted between 2010 and 2020.Methods – The researchers used Reddit’s API to collect their sample of threads. Using a random subset of the sample, the researchers developed a coding scheme for content analysis, which identified major themes in the data. Through this process, they controlled for quality: each researcher coded half the subset independently, then together evaluated their intercoder reliability and discussed and resolved disagreements. The researchers also employed labelled latent Dirchlet allocation to construct topic models corresponding to the theme’s manual content analysis, which produced profiles of the top 100 terms most likely to appear in that topic. Finally, the researchers extracted URLs from threads in the sample to ascertain types of information and data sources used by the community. Presenting their findings, the researchers discussed notable themes and proposed a metadata model for describing datasets, the Data Q&A metadata (DQAM) model.Main Results – The r/Datasets community engages in three distinct activities: asking and answering questions, disseminating information, and community building. The closely related Q&A and dissemination activities shared themes of obtaining and aggregating data, sensemaking, collaborating and crowdsourcing, and data evaluation. Community members frequently discussed tools, competencies, and sources for data work. Major challenges for members of the community related to the general themes of data quality, accessibility, ethics, and legality. A proposed 16-element metadata schema should meet the needs of data enthusiasts.Conclusion – The content analysis reveals a dedicated community engaged in an array of data-seeking and data-sharing activities. Data producers should be mindful of how their data can be accessed and used outside of their original professional or scholarly contexts.
综述:Stvilia,B.和Gibradze,L.(2022)。在数据爱好者的在线社区中寻找和共享数据集。图书馆与信息科学研究44(3)。https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lisr.2022.101160Objective–了解以数据集为重点的在线社区的主要活动、工具、来源和挑战。设计——根据活动理论进行内容分析。设置–r/Datasets子版块reddit,一个用于共享、查找和讨论数据集的网络论坛。受试者——2010年至2020年间首次发布的1232条“热门”或“热门”讨论话题(1232条原创帖子和6813条回复评论)。方法——研究人员使用Reddit的API收集他们的话题样本。研究人员使用样本的随机子集,开发了一种用于内容分析的编码方案,该方案确定了数据中的主要主题。通过这个过程,他们控制了质量:每个研究人员独立地对一半的子集进行编码,然后一起评估他们的代码间可靠性,并讨论和解决分歧。研究人员还使用标记的潜在Dirchlet分配来构建与主题的手动内容分析相对应的主题模型,该模型生成了最有可能出现在该主题中的前100个术语的简介。最后,研究人员从样本中的线程中提取URL,以确定社区使用的信息和数据源的类型。在介绍他们的发现时,研究人员讨论了值得注意的主题,并提出了一个用于描述数据集的元数据模型,即数据问答元数据(DQAM)模型。主要结果–r/Datasets社区参与三项不同的活动:询问和回答问题、传播信息和社区建设。密切相关的问答和传播活动共有获取和汇总数据、感知、合作和众包以及数据评估等主题。社区成员经常讨论数据工作的工具、能力和来源。社区成员面临的主要挑战涉及数据质量、可访问性、道德和合法性等一般主题。所提出的16元素元数据模式应该满足数据爱好者的需求。结论——内容分析显示,一个专门从事一系列数据搜索和数据共享活动的社区。数据生产者应注意如何在其原始专业或学术背景之外访问和使用其数据。

Objective – The authors sought to identify link language that is user-friendly and sufficiently disambiguates between a digital collection and digital exhibit platform for users from a R1 institution, or a university with high research activity and doctoral programs as classified in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.Methods – The authors distributed two online surveys using a modified open card sort and reverse-category test via university electronic mailing lists to undergraduate and graduate students to learn what language they would use to identify groups of items and to test their understanding of link labels that point to digitized cultural heritage items.Results – Our study uncovered that the link terms utilized by cultural heritage institutions are not uniformly understood by our users. Terms that are frequently used interchangeably (i.e., Digital Collections, Digital Project, and Digital Exhibit) can be too generic to be meaningful for different user groups.Conclusion – Because the link terms utilized by cultural heritage institutions were not uniformly understood by our users, the most user-friendly way to link to these resources is to use the term we—librarians, curators, and archivists—think is most accurate as the link text based on our professional knowledge and provide a brief description of what each site contains in order to provide necessary context.
目标——作者试图为R1机构的用户确定用户友好的链接语言,并充分消除数字收藏和数字展览平台之间的歧义,或卡内基高等教育机构分类中具有高研究活动和博士项目的大学。方法——作者通过大学电子邮件列表,使用改进的开放式卡片排序和反向类别测试,向本科生和研究生分发了两份在线调查,以了解他们将使用什么语言来识别并测试他们对指向数字化文化遗产项目的链接标签的理解。结果——我们的研究发现,文化遗产机构使用的链接术语并没有被我们的用户统一理解。经常互换使用的术语(即数字藏品、数字项目和数字展览)可能过于通用,对不同的用户群体没有意义。结论-由于文化遗产机构使用的链接术语并没有被我们的用户统一理解,因此链接到这些资源的最方便用户的方式是使用我们这个术语——图书馆员、策展人、,和档案管理员——根据我们的专业知识,认为链接文本最准确,并提供每个网站所包含内容的简要描述,以提供必要的上下文。

Objective – As a follow-up to the first 2013 survey, the Visible Minority Librarians of Canada (ViMLoC) network conducted its second comprehensive survey in 2021. The 2021 survey gathered detailed information about the demography, education, and employment of visible minority librarians (VMLs) working in Canadian institutions. Data from the 2021 survey and the analysis presented in this paper help us better understand the current library landscape, presented alongside findings from the 2013 survey. The research results will be helpful for professional associations and library administrators to develop initiatives to support VMLs.Methods – Researchers created online survey questionnaires using Qualtrics XM in English and translated them into French. We distributed the survey invitation through relevant library association electronic mail lists and posted on ViMLoC’s website, social networking platforms, and through their electronic mail list. The survey asked if the participant was a visible minority librarian. If the response was “No,” the survey closed. Respondents indicating "Yes" were asked 36 personal and professional questions of three types: multiple-choice, yes/no, and open-ended questions.Results – One hundred and sixty-two VMLs completed the 2021 survey. Chinese remained the largest ethnic identity, but their proportion in the survey decreased from 36% in 2013 to 24% in 2021. 65% were aged between 26 and 45 years old. More than half received their library degree during the 2010s. 89% completed their library degree in Canada, a 5% increase from 2013. The majority of librarians had graduated from University of Toronto (25%), followed closely by University of British Columbia (23%), and Western University (22%). Only 3% received their library degree from a library school outside North America. 34% of librarians earned a second master’s degree and 5% had a PhD. 60% of librarians had less than 11 years of experience. Nearly half worked in academic libraries. Most were located in Ontario and British Columbia. 69% of librarians were in non-management positions with 5% being senior administrators. 25% reported a salary above $100,000. In terms of job categories, the largest group worked in Reference/Information Services (45%), followed by Instruction Services (32%), and as Liaison Librarians (31%). Those working in Acquisitions/Collection Development saw the biggest jump from 1% in 2013 to 28% in 2021. 58% of librarians sought mentoring support, of whom 54% participated in formal mentorship programs, and 48% had a visible minority mentor.Conclusion – 35% more VMLs responded to the 2021 survey compared to the 2013 survey. Changes occurred in ethnic identity, generation, where VMLs earned a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) or equivalent degree, library type, geographic location, and job responsibilities. The 2021 survey also explored other aspects of the VMLs not covered in the 2013 survey, such as librarian experience, salary,
作为2013年第一次调查的后续行动,加拿大少数族裔图书馆员网络(ViMLoC)在2021年进行了第二次全面调查。2021年的调查收集了有关在加拿大机构工作的少数族裔图书馆员(vml)的人口统计、教育和就业的详细信息。2021年调查的数据和本文中提供的分析有助于我们更好地了解当前的图书馆景观,以及2013年调查的结果。研究结果将有助于专业协会和图书馆管理者制定支持虚拟图书馆的措施。方法:研究人员使用Qualtrics XM制作了英语在线调查问卷,并将其翻译成法语。我们通过相关图书馆协会的电子邮件列表分发调查邀请,并在ViMLoC的网站、社交网络平台和他们的电子邮件列表上发布。调查询问参与者是否是少数族裔图书管理员。如果回答是“否”,调查就结束了。回答“是”的受访者被问及36个个人和专业问题,分为三种类型:多项选择题、是/否题和开放式问题。结果-有162个vml完成了2021年的调查。华人仍然是最大的种族认同,但他们在调查中的比例从2013年的36%下降到2021年的24%。65%的人年龄在26至45岁之间。超过一半的人在2010年代获得了图书馆学位。89%的学生在加拿大完成了图书馆学位,比2013年增加了5%。大多数图书馆员毕业于多伦多大学(25%),其次是不列颠哥伦比亚大学(23%)和西部大学(22%)。只有3%的图书馆员在北美以外的图书馆学校获得了图书馆学位,34%的图书馆员获得了第二个硕士学位,5%的图书馆员拥有博士学位。60%的图书馆员工作经验不足11年。近一半的人在学术图书馆工作。大多数位于安大略省和不列颠哥伦比亚省。69%的图书馆员是非管理职位,5%是高级管理人员。25%的人薪水在10万美元以上。就工作类别而言,最大的群体从事参考/信息服务(45%),其次是指导服务(32%)和联络图书馆员(31%)。从事收购/藏品开发工作的人从2013年的1%上升到2021年的28%,增幅最大。58%的图书馆员寻求指导支持,其中54%的人参加了正式的指导项目,48%的人有一个可见的少数族裔导师。结论:与2013年的调查相比,2021年的vml受访者增加了35%。变化发生在民族认同、年龄、获得图书馆与信息科学硕士(MLIS)或同等学位、图书馆类型、地理位置和工作职责等方面。2021年的调查还探讨了2013年调查未涵盖的vml的其他方面,如图书管理员经验、工资、管理职位和指导经验。调查结果表明,专业协会和图书馆管理人员需要共同努力来支持虚拟图书馆。

Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research, 15(2), 1-32. http://doi.org/10.21083/partnership.v15i2.5932Objective – To understand if, how, and within what parameters, librarians working in public libraries experience low morale.Design – Semi-structured interview, phenomenologySetting – Public libraries in Canada and the United StatesSubjects – Participants (N = 20) were credentialed librarians who worked or had worked in a public library, and who experienced low morale due to their work. Methods – Invitations were distributed to 10 electronic mailing lists. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants -- they represented librarians with a range of experience, working within a variety of specialties. The researcher received informed consent and the participants completed a short survey in order to collect demographic data before taking part in semi-structured interviews. The interviews were transcribed and coded, after which data were analyzed and thematic clusters identified. Main results – Various types of abuse, either performed by library users (ex. physical and verbal abuse), or by colleagues/managers/administrators (ex. emotional abuse, system abuse, and negligence) were revealed to cause low morale in public librarians. Data show that the participants' responses to the abuse influenced their affective, cognitive, and physiological well-being, as well as professional expectations and trajectories. This study identified three low morale impact factors and seven enabling systems that were unique to public librarians when compared to academic librarians. The unique impact factors are: personal safety, resilience narratives, and social contexts. The enabling systems are: organizational structure, library workplace culture, on-demand relocation, policies, training, equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), and politics. Conclusion – This study builds on the literature and provides additional evidence on the prevalence of low morale in LIS workplaces. The data show that there are similarities in the causes and consequences of low morale in the workplace amongst public librarians and their academic counterparts. Understaffing, mission creep, and working with underserved and marginalized communities all play a part in the morale of public librarians. Low morale negatively affects public librarians’ mental and physical health, as well as their professional outlook and trajectory. The author makes a case for comprehensive leadership training for public library management, as well as the presence of people with different expertise (such as social workers and first responders) in public libraries. Additionally, the author suggests the need for further research on topics that came up in this study.
综述:Kendrick, k.d.(2020)。公共图书馆员士气低落的经历:一项定性研究。合作关系:加拿大图书馆信息实践与研究,15(2),1-32。http://doi.org/10.21083/partnership.v15i2.5932Objective -了解在公共图书馆工作的图书馆员是否、如何以及在什么范围内士气低落。设计-半结构化访谈,现象设置-加拿大和美国的公共图书馆主题-参与者(N = 20)是在公共图书馆工作或曾在公共图书馆工作过的有资格的图书馆员,他们因工作而士气低落。方法-将邀请分发到10个电子邮件列表。有目的的抽样被用来选择参与者——他们代表了具有一系列经验的图书馆员,在不同的专业领域工作。研究人员获得知情同意,参与者在参加半结构化访谈之前完成了一项简短的调查,以收集人口统计数据。对访谈进行转录和编码,之后对数据进行分析并确定专题分组。主要结果:各种类型的虐待,无论是图书馆用户(如身体和语言虐待),还是同事/经理/行政人员(如情感虐待、系统虐待和疏忽),都被发现会导致公共图书馆员士气低落。数据显示,参与者对虐待的反应影响了他们的情感、认知和生理健康,以及职业期望和轨迹。这项研究确定了公共图书馆员与学术图书馆员相比所特有的三个士气低落的影响因素和七个使能系统。独特的影响因素是:个人安全、弹性叙事和社会背景。使能系统是:组织结构、图书馆工作场所文化、按需搬迁、政策、培训、公平、多样性和包容性(EDI)以及政治。结论——这项研究建立在文献的基础上,为美国工作场所普遍存在的士气低落提供了额外的证据。数据显示,公共图书馆员和他们的学术同行在工作场所士气低落的原因和后果上有相似之处。人手不足,任务蔓延,与服务不足和边缘化的社区合作,这些都影响了公共图书馆员的士气。士气低落不仅会影响公共图书馆员的身心健康,也会影响他们的职业前景和职业发展轨迹。作者提出了公共图书馆管理的综合领导力培训,以及公共图书馆中不同专业人员(如社会工作者和急救人员)的存在。此外,作者建议需要对本研究中出现的主题进行进一步研究。

Objective – The research was conducted to understand better how and what spaces are used in a mid-size academic library. Also, the authors were interested in their users' spatial likes and dislikes and why they gravitated to or avoided specific spaces or floors. The authors also found an opportunity to examine recent renovations that added a connector bridge to a first-year student dorm and the subsequent increase in foot traffic to evaluate its success in meeting users' needs for varied and productive study spaces across the building.Methods – The study used a survey to gauge user satisfaction with the library's space and environment for research, study, and collaborative work. The authors hand-distributed a survey with five multiple-choice and three open-response questions to users over three days (Monday-Wednesday) between 10 am - 4 pm, the busiest days and times in a typical week. The collected surveys were sorted and coded in an Excel spreadsheet and uploaded and analyzed in JMP Pro. Results – The 298 completed responses came from undergraduate students (n=281) who visited the first floor, identified as a collaborative study space (n=144). Respondents showed that they visit the library daily (58%, n=173) and weekly (34%, n=104). Most of the survey participants (98%, n=293) indicated that they pursued academic work in quiet spaces they occupied (75%, n=224). Interestingly enough, the noisiest and quietest floors are the areas most avoided, the first floor-collaborative, noisiest space (54%, n=161) and the third floor-designated as quiet space (18%, n=55). The final survey question invited the respondents to "sound off," with 135 responding; 107 (79%) of them opined on improvements to existing study spaces within the library. Conclusion – This research demonstrated that students value the library as a place to study but are critical of excessive noise and overcrowding in the designated collaborative study areas. Academic libraries should consider balance when designing library study spaces. Librarians and space designers should strive to strike an appropriate balance between seating quality and quantity, acceptable noise levels in designated collaborative and quiet study spaces, and the impacts of environmental factors such as printers, food services, exhibits, art displays, restrooms, and walkways through library study spaces within the library.
目的——本研究旨在更好地了解中型学术图书馆的使用方式和空间。此外,作者对用户的空间好恶感兴趣,以及他们为什么会被特定空间或楼层吸引或避开。作者还发现了一个机会来检查最近为一年级学生宿舍增加了一座连接桥的翻修工程,以及随后行人流量的增加,以评估其在满足用户对整个建筑多样化和富有成效的学习空间的需求方面的成功性。方法——该研究使用了一项调查来衡量用户对图书馆研究、学习和协作空间和环境的满意度。作者在三天内(周一至周三)上午10点至下午4点,即一周中最繁忙的日子和时间,向用户手工分发了一份包含五个选择题和三个开放回答问题的调查。收集的调查在Excel电子表格中进行排序和编码,并在JMP Pro中上传和分析。结果——298份完整的回复来自本科生(n=281),他们参观了一楼,被确定为合作学习空间(n=144)。受访者表示,他们每天(58%,n=173)和每周(34%,n=104)都会去图书馆。大多数调查参与者(98%,n=293)表示,他们在自己占据的安静空间里从事学术工作(75%,n=224)。有趣的是,噪音最大和最安静的楼层是最避免的区域,一楼是协作、噪音最大的空间(54%,n=161),三楼是指定为安静空间(18%,n=55)。最后一个调查问题邀请受访者“发声”,135人回答;其中107人(79%)对图书馆现有学习空间的改善提出意见。结论——这项研究表明,学生们重视图书馆作为一个学习场所,但对指定合作学习区域的过度噪音和过度拥挤持批评态度。高校图书馆在设计图书馆学习空间时应考虑平衡问题。图书馆员和空间设计师应努力在座位质量和数量、指定的协作和安静学习空间的可接受噪音水平以及环境因素的影响之间取得适当的平衡,如打印机、食品服务、展览、艺术展示、洗手间和穿过图书馆学习空间的走道。

Objective – The number of graduate nursing programs in the U.S. has increased significantly in recent years. This scoping review seeks to examine the range of literature discussing librarian instruction for graduate nursing students to identity the types of studies being published, the characteristics of instructional sessions, knowledge gaps which may exist, and the evidence available for a subsequent systematic review evaluating instructional effectiveness.Methods – Guidelines established by the PRISMA statement for scoping reviews (PRISMA-Scr) were used to conduct this review. Concepts for library instruction and graduate nursing students were searched in six databases as well as Google Scholar. The two authors used titles/abstracts and when necessary, full-text to independently screen identified studies. Conflicting screening decisions were resolved by discussion.Results – Data was extracted from 20 sources. Thirteen of the sources were descriptions of classes or programs, one was a program evaluation, two were mixed methods studies that looked at library use and program support respectively but did not assess instruction, two were surveys of students’ feelings and attitudes about instruction, and two were quasi-experimental studies which included pre-post instruction quizzes. The most popular format for library instruction was online (synchronous or asynchronous) instruction. Most sources did not include information about the timing or duration of instruction. In addition, most sources did not reference instructional theory although a few mentioned aspects of instructional theory such as active learning. Only one source mentioned using a specific model to develop instructional content. While several sources mentioned assessment of student learning, only four studies included the results of assessment.Conclusions – Sources reporting on instruction for graduate nursing students consisted primarily of descriptions of programs or instructional sessions. Many of the descriptive studies lacked essential information such as specifics of format, timing, and duration which would aid replication at other institutions. Only four sources were research studies that evaluated instructional effectiveness.
目标——近年来,美国护理研究生项目的数量显著增加。这项范围界定审查旨在审查讨论护理研究生图书馆员指导的文献范围,以确定正在发表的研究类型、教学课程的特点、可能存在的知识差距,以及可用于后续评估教学有效性的系统审查的证据。方法——使用PRISMA范围审查声明(PRISMA Scr)制定的指南进行本次审查。在六个数据库以及谷歌学者中搜索了图书馆教学和护理研究生的概念。两位作者使用标题/摘要,必要时使用全文来独立筛选已确定的研究。通过讨论解决了相互矛盾的筛选决定。结果——数据来自20个来源。其中13个来源是对课程或项目的描述,一个是项目评估,两个是混合方法研究,分别考察了图书馆的使用和项目支持,但没有评估教学,两个来源是学生对教学的感受和态度的调查,两个源是准实验研究,包括教学前和教学后的测验。最流行的库指令格式是在线(同步或异步)指令。大多数资料来源都没有包括关于教学时间或持续时间的信息。此外,大多数资料都没有提到教学理论,尽管也有少数资料提到了教学理论的各个方面,如主动学习。只有一个消息来源提到使用特定的模型来开发教学内容。虽然一些资料来源提到了对学生学习的评估,但只有四项研究包含了评估结果。结论——报告护理研究生教学的来源主要包括对课程或教学环节的描述。许多描述性研究缺乏基本信息,如格式、时间和持续时间的细节,这些信息有助于在其他机构复制。只有四个来源是评估教学有效性的研究。
