A Closer Look At Using Stringer’S Action Research Model In Improving Students’ Learning, Mohammad Ali Nasrollahi
A Closer Look At Using Stringer’S Action Research Model In Improving Students’ Learning, Mohammad Ali Nasrollahi
Mohammad Ali Nasrollahi(Ph.D)
Action research is a systematic approach to investigation that enables people to find effective solutions to problems they confront in their everyday lives. A significant feature is that action research lays claim to the professional development in education. Action research as any systematic inquiry conducted by teachers, administrators, and counselors with a vested interest in the teaching and learning process, for the purpose of gathering data about how their particular schools operate, how they teach, and how their students learn. Education is perhaps the most prolific source of action research resources. Action research can be done by teachers in their …
Towards Ex Ante Prediction Of User Performance: A Novel Neurois Methodology Based On Real-Time Measurement Of Mental Effort, Ricardo Buettner, Sebastian Sauer, Christian Maier, Andreas Eckhardt
Towards Ex Ante Prediction Of User Performance: A Novel Neurois Methodology Based On Real-Time Measurement Of Mental Effort, Ricardo Buettner, Sebastian Sauer, Christian Maier, Andreas Eckhardt
Christian Maier
We propose a methodology of an ex ante prediction of users’ performance based on analyzing the pupillary diameter variability captured by ordinary eye-tracking systems. Based on a realistic large-scale experimental evaluation of our methodology we show promising results that pave the way for a dynamic real-time adaption of IT to the user’s mental effort and the expected user performance. Our non-invasive contactfree methodology can be applied cost-efficiently both in research and practical environments, without disturbing the participant/user.
The Effects Of Technostress And Switching Stress On Discontinued Use Of Social Networking Services: A Study Of Facebook Use, Christian Maier, Sven Laumer, Christoph Weinert, Tim Weitzel
The Effects Of Technostress And Switching Stress On Discontinued Use Of Social Networking Services: A Study Of Facebook Use, Christian Maier, Sven Laumer, Christoph Weinert, Tim Weitzel
Christian Maier
Although much research has been performed on the adoption and usage phases of the information systems life cycle, the final phase, termination, has received little attention. This paper focuses on the development of discontinuous usage intentions, i.e. the behavioural intention in the termination phase, in the context of social networking services (SNSs), where it plays an especially crucial role. We argue that users stressed by using SNSs try to avoid the stress and develop discontinuous usage intentions, which we identify as a behavioural response to SNS-stress creators and SNS-exhaustion. Furthermore, as discontinuing the use of an SNS also takes effort …

Tripping And Falling Into The Future: An Eolithic Perspective, Keri Schwab
Tripping And Falling Into The Future: An Eolithic Perspective, Keri Schwab
Keri Schwab
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Thirty years ago, Dustin and McAvoy (1984) published an essay in Environmental Ethics titled “Toward Environmental Eolithism.” The article compared and contrasted two distinct orientations to environmental planning and management: the design mentality and the eolithic mentality. The authors concluded that the more popular design mentality lacked obscure eolithic mentality was a superior orientation to environmental planning and management. Environmental Ethics and then discuss how an eolithic perspective might complement the strategic planning process. We begin by describing the similarities between strategic planning and the design mentality as well as the shortcomings of strategic planning in a rapidly …

Link Formation Pattern During Emergency Response Network Dynamics, Alireza Abbasi
Alireza Abbasi
This study aims to understand the mechanisms of emergency response network evolution by quantitatively examining the link formation pattern among participants involved in a real emergency collaboration network. This is achieved by identifying the participants’ characteristics which can affect forming new links over time. The result indicates the existence of cumulative advantage process, where highly-connected participants gain more new links over time. It also reveals the structural position of participants involved in a response network, i.e. brokering position, affects their number of future links. Understanding the link formation pattern is important for understanding the mechanisms of network evolution which help …

From The Outside Looking In: A Response To The Hijacking Of Recreational Therapy, Daniel L. Dustin, Kelly S. Bricker, Keri A. Schwab
Keri Schwab
Where does Dr. Austin want his line of thought to lead and what does he expect from the larger field of parks and recreation in return? Is he after reassurance that recreational therapy is valued by the rest of us? Does he want recreation therapists to be acknowledged as the closest thing we have in our midst to medical doctors? Or does he want recreational therapy to disassociate itself from the field of parks and recreation altogether? If recreation therapists want to be viewed as distinct and different from the rest of us, if it is autonomy they are after, …

Landing Stable Employment: The Exploratory Study Of A Job Vs. Career, Valencia Tamir Johnson Dr.
Valencia T Johnson
Landing stable employment can be difficult and discouraging. Some employers want applicants that are searching for a “career”, and some employers are looking for applicants that want a “job”. Ask yourself, what is the difference between a job and a career? In simple terms, a job is short-term and a career is long-term. Applicants who seek a job would likely stay less than a year, as with a career, the candidate would likely stay more than a year or longer. This article provides a clear and concise overview of the exploratory study of landing a career or job.

An Affordable Model For Enduring Iss Mission Operations With Increased Scientific Productivity, Donovan Torgerson, Josh Berk, Jeremy Straub, Anders Nervold
Jeremy Straub
The current model of operations for the International Space Station (ISS) is an exercise in futility. Persistent maintenance, risk aversion, high ground support and logistics costs and a lack of scientific productivity have rendered the world's most expensive laboratory severely underutilized.
An alternate management paradigm for ISS operations, based upon an approach utilized by national, state and local governments for the maintenance of public infrastructure (e.g., roadways) is presented. These governments, instead of trying to become experts at estimating the costs of, planning for and conducting repairs and upkeep on this infrastructure, instead hire a commercial vendor to perform these …

Polska Firma It W Dolinie Krzemowej – Studium Przypadku I Próba Analizy W Kontekście Teorii Internacjonalizacji, Dominika Latusek
Dominika Latusek
The text presents a case study of a Polish high-tech enterprise “Engineers” which focuses on IT services and software development. The case study is based on a qualitative research conducted within the firm in its headquarter in Poland as well as in the USA among its partners and customers. The empirical data is then discussed in the light of internationalization theories as well as the concept of ‘born global’ enterprises. As the text demonstrates, the existing internationalization and born global theories cannot provide grounds that explain the functioning of firms such as “Engineers World”, i.e. enterprises that are set up …

The aim of the study was to identify the unique support needs and preferences of African refugees in Canada. In-depth interviews were conducted with Sudanese and Somali refugees (n=68) living in two cities in central and western Canada. Refugees were interviewed individually to identify their support needs, current sources of support, available support programmes, barriers to access to support resources, and preferred support interventions. These refugees reported major support needs, depleted social networks, and barriers to accessing services and supports. They identified distinct preferences for support from peers from the same country of origin and professionals. Participants wanted group-level support …

Rakesh K Singh
The 73rd Constitution Amendment has created space for women in political participation and decision-making at the grass roots level by reserving one-third of the seats all over the country. This landmark legislation gave India the unique distinction of having more number of elected women representatives (EWRs) than the rest of the world together.

Delinquent By Reason Of Poverty, Tamar R. Birckhead
Tamar R Birckhead
This Article, written for the 12th Annual Access to Equal Justice Colloquium, explores the disproportionate representation of low-income children in the United States juvenile justice system. It examines the structural and institutional causes of this development, beginning with the most common points of entry into delinquency court—the child welfare system, public schools, retail stores, and neighborhood police presence. It introduces the concept of needs-based delinquency, a theory that challenges basic presuppositions about the method by which children are adjudicated delinquent. It argues that at each stage of the process—from intake through adjudication to disposition and probation—the court gives as much …
