In The Beginning: Ade And The Big Bang Revolution, Roger Burns
In The Beginning: Ade And The Big Bang Revolution, Roger Burns
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Welcome to the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Association for Documentary Editing. Some people have compared the origins of the ADE with the American Revolution. Others have linked it to the big bang theory. I prefer to think of it as a Big Bang Revolution. Anyway, today you will get a little of the inside story of the creation of ADE. You see, I was there. And with me today are three individuals who have joined the ADE at different times in its history. Charlene Bickford, editor of the First Congress Project, who was also …

Digital Editions: Scholarly Tradition In An Avant-Garde Medium, Andrew Jewell
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
I come to you from the digital world. I am president of the Digital Americanists; I recently received a Digital Humanities Start-Up grant; I edit a digital archive on the life and work of Willa Cather; I am a faculty fellow at the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities; and I even have the word “digital” in my official job title: Assistant Professor of Digital Projects. I don’t begin this way in order to impress you with my credentials, but as a confession: my current professional identity is absolutely entangled with the digital medium. That said, I want to …

Edited By Candace Falk; Barry Pateman, Associate Editor; Jessica M. Moran, Assistant Editor., Nancy Marie Robertson
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
For more than a quarter of a century, Candace Falk and her comrades at the Emma Goldman Papers Project (EGPP) have worked to make the records of the turn-of the-century anarchist, lecturer, and social critic available.With the assistance of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), they joined with papers projects for Jane Addams, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and Margaret Sanger to form the Consortium for Women’s History, part of an effort to diversify the people represented in historical editing projects. Funded by individual contributions as well as support from NHPRC and the National Endowment for …
Chaos Is The Poetry: From Outcomes To Inquiry In Service-Learning Pedagogy, Shari J. Stenberg, Darby Arant Whealy
Chaos Is The Poetry: From Outcomes To Inquiry In Service-Learning Pedagogy, Shari J. Stenberg, Darby Arant Whealy
Department of English: Faculty Publications
It is no secret that the contemporary university values a model of efficiency, of tangible, quantifiable outcomes. Jan Currie and Lesley Vidovich (qtd. in Downing, Hurlbert, Mathieu 9) contend that since the 1980s, the boundaries between higher education, government, and business have largely deteriorated, and business discourse of "excellence" has come to dominate university culture. Consequently, output, outcomes, and efficiency are valorized over and above process, inquiry, and the inevitable tensions of learning. Stanley Aronowitz puts it this way: "[A]cademic leaders chant the mantra of excellence . . . [which] means ... all parts of the university 'perform' and are …

Die Opvoedkundige Waarde Van Woordeboeke : Voorstelle Vir Woordeboekonderrig In Suid-Afrika, Michele Van Der Merwe
Die Opvoedkundige Waarde Van Woordeboeke : Voorstelle Vir Woordeboekonderrig In Suid-Afrika, Michele Van Der Merwe
Michele Van Der Merwe
Die idee van woordeboekonderrig in die laerskool het nog nie baie aandag in die opvoedkunde en leksikografie in Suid-Afrika getrek nie. Tans word uitkomsgebaseerde onderrig as model in Suid-Afrikaanse skole gebruik en woordeboekonderrig kan baie goed binne dié opset geakkommodeer word. In die artikel word probeer om woordeboekonderrig te definieer en aangetoon watter uitkomste in verband met woordeboekgebruik deur leerders in die intermediêre fase bereik behoort te word. 'n Model om die proses van woordeboekonderrig te illustreer, word aangebied. Praktiese voorbeelde van toepaslike woordeboeke vir gebruik in die klaskamer word bespreek. Die verwagting word gestel dat sowel opvoeders as ouers …

A Study Of The Impact Of Imagination Library Participation On Kindergarten Reading Achievement, Lisa Embree
A Study Of The Impact Of Imagination Library Participation On Kindergarten Reading Achievement, Lisa Embree
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Very little research has been conducted on the impact of the Imagination Library, a Tennessee based reading program, on student reading achievement. Therefore, the purpose of this cross-sectional explanatory study was to test whether Imagination Library program participation had an impact on reading achievement for kindergarten students from 3 rural elementary schools. The theoretical basis for this study was Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, the process of scaffolding, and language learning models. ANOVA was used to test the hypothesis that reading achievement for participants was significantly different from nonparticipants and was also used to test the hypotheses of relationships between reading achievement …
Perceptions Of Recess And The Effects Of A Morning Recess Break On The Oral Reading Fluency Of Second Grade Students, Joy M. Walker
Perceptions Of Recess And The Effects Of A Morning Recess Break On The Oral Reading Fluency Of Second Grade Students, Joy M. Walker
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
A recent trend in schools has been to reduce or eliminate recess. The assumption behind this elimination is that less recess time provides more opportunities for learning and hence, better learning outcomes. However, little research has examined the effects of this assumption, and little is known about the relationship between recess and learning. The purpose of this mixed method quasi-experimental study was to test the massed versus distributed practice theory and the cognitive immaturity theory, and to gain a better understanding of recess and its implications for learning. The quantitative question was designed to determine whether segmenting instructional time with …

Featuring Historical Textbooks To Build Knowledge Of University History, Bette Rathe, Kay E. Lowell
University Libraries Faculty Publications
Undergraduate students at a teacher education institution, the University of Northern Colorado, are the target audience for an exhibit of a reading series from the Libraries’ Archival Services collections. The display highlights an important era in the university’s history involving four faculty members: Paul McKee, M. Lucile Harrison, Annie McCowen, and Elizabeth Lehr. These professors developed an innovative approach to early reading instruction that was incorporated into their reading textbook series during a time of uniformity in reading textbooks. The rationale for the display was based on research about the Reading for Meaning series discussed in this article.
The Impact Of Enrollment In A Combined Reading And Learning Strategies Course On Exceptional Students' Fcat Reading Scale Scores, Coral Kathleen Hanson
The Impact Of Enrollment In A Combined Reading And Learning Strategies Course On Exceptional Students' Fcat Reading Scale Scores, Coral Kathleen Hanson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Previous research has shown that because remediation and support replace required and career-defining courses, exceptional students fall behind, ill equipped to act in society as autonomous adults. No Child Left Behind requires reading proficiency, so students failing standardized tests must take remedial courses. Individualized education plans often require support courses. However, there remains an important gap in the literature regarding the usefulness of reading, standardized testing, and leadership research to solve this problem. A class combining reading and support for students with exceptionalities exists at 1 high school. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the combined program …
The Relationship Between Flexible Reading Groups And Reading Achievement In Elementary School Students, Gretchen E. H. Schlag
The Relationship Between Flexible Reading Groups And Reading Achievement In Elementary School Students, Gretchen E. H. Schlag
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Despite the current emphasis on differentiating instruction to accommodate individual student learning needs, most reading instruction is taught primarily in static small groups or whole group settings. However, the use of flexible reading groups for reading instruction allows students to be appropriately challenged and avoids labeling a student's reading readiness as stagnant. This study examines the relationship between flexible reading groups and reading achievement of 130 fifth grade students in one elementary school. The theoretical base for the research is grounded in the constructivist theory as supported by Vygotsky and Bruner. In this quasi-experimental quantitative research study, the effect of …

Facilitating High School Student Success Through Read 180: Analysis Of Program Impact Using Measures Of Academic Progress (Map), Holly Mcwhorter
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
In response to its failure to meet state mandated proficiency standards in reading and mathematics over the past three years, a rural, Title I high school (LS) in South Carolina purchased and implemented the commercially available literacy program READ 180 (R180) for the 2008-2009 academic year. While previous research reported by Scholastic, Incorporated (R180) had provided support for the use of R180 in improving literacy, these studies have been criticized recently for their lack of comparable control groups, experimenter bias and lack of data from other content areas such as mathematics. The purpose of this study was to determine the …
The Relationship Between Vocabulary Development, Low Socioeconomic Status, And Teacher Discourse, Amy M. Pritts
The Relationship Between Vocabulary Development, Low Socioeconomic Status, And Teacher Discourse, Amy M. Pritts
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Elementary students from low socioeconomic households often begin and remain behind other socioeconomic groups in vocabulary knowledge. Many reasons for this gap, including cognitive, environmental, and educational, have been researched. The current study examined the relationship between vocabulary knowledge, socioeconomic status, and type of teacher discourse within an early elementary setting not yet explored within the research. This concurrent mixed-method research study investigated this relationship using study groups, taped classroom lessons, and the DIBELS word use fluency assessment measure. Interpretative analysis was used for the qualitative data, and correlational analysis was used to determine relationships between the discourse types and …
Nonquantifiable Instructional Factors That Contribute To Achievement In Reading For Students In Grades 3-4 In A Midwestern Urban School District, Alice Marie Figgs
Nonquantifiable Instructional Factors That Contribute To Achievement In Reading For Students In Grades 3-4 In A Midwestern Urban School District, Alice Marie Figgs
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Currently some elementary students in large urban school districts are not able to perform well in school because they do not have strong reading skills. The recent No Child Left Behind (NCLB) federal legislation has supported the use of research-based instructional materials and strategies in reading to remedy this problem; however, qualitative studies exploring the specific nonquantifiable instructional factors that contribute to reading achievement in large urban school districts are still limited. The purpose of this multiple empirical case study was to explore the instructional factors that contributed to achievement in reading for students in Grades 3 and 4 at …
Mexican-American Concepts On Gender And Identity: A Teacher's Perspective In A Fifth Grade Classroom, Cynthia Soto
Mexican-American Concepts On Gender And Identity: A Teacher's Perspective In A Fifth Grade Classroom, Cynthia Soto
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
This study primarily focuses on fifth-grade Mexican-American students and the factors that influence their views on gender and identity. Gender perspectives in the classroom have the potential to improve instruction and can positively affect students' motivations to learn. Literature can also influence students' gender perceptions and also contribute to gender bias in the classroom. This study works toward creating a non-biased learning environment.

Using Focus Groups In Language Research, Arthur Mcneill
PASAA
This paper examines the potential of the focus group as a research method in language studies. In social sciences research, focus groups are becoming increasingly popular as a means of gathering data. It is logical to anticipate that the focus group can also be a suitable research method for investigating certain topics related to language. The paper describes how focus groups are typically organized and run, then addresses some of the on-going concerns about the handling of focus group data. Provided certain safeguards are in place concerning data analysis and provided the procedures for handling data are made as explicit …

Four groups of students participated in the study: the experimental higher and lower proficiency groups and the control higher and lower proficiency groups. The two experimental groups of different proficiency levels were given treatment of different types of sentence structure instruction and sentence-combining practice for twelve weeks while the two control groups of different proficiency levels were taught …
Extensive Reading And Its Potential In Assisting Low-Ability Efl Learners To Increase Their Reading Comprehension And Motivation, Wilairat Kirin, Punchalee Wasanasomsithi
Extensive Reading And Its Potential In Assisting Low-Ability Efl Learners To Increase Their Reading Comprehension And Motivation, Wilairat Kirin, Punchalee Wasanasomsithi
PASAA
Reading comprehensible texts is referred to by Krashen (2005) as representing a bridge to heavier reading such as journal and magazine features or academic texts as it helps provide competency that is crucial to facilitate comprehension. Reading such texts extensively has also been reported repetitively by substantial research, both in ESL and EFL contexts, as contributing to the enhancement of reading ability and, particularly, motivation to continue the reading engagement. This paper reports on findings from an experiment with low-ability Thai undergraduate students and discusses whether the claims made about extensive reading (ER) and its existing knowledge are applicable in …
The Relationship Between The Chulalongkorn University Students' Ability To Identify Stress Patterns Of English Polysyllabic Medical Terms And The Ability To Pronounce Them, Satita Watanapokakul
The Relationship Between The Chulalongkorn University Students' Ability To Identify Stress Patterns Of English Polysyllabic Medical Terms And The Ability To Pronounce Them, Satita Watanapokakul
PASAA
Word stress, especially for terminologies like medical terms, has been of great concern among EFL instructors for many years, and EFL students find it difficult to get the correct pronunciation due to the polysyllabic nature of most medical terms. This study has three main objectives: to explore the CU medical students' problems in marking stress in English polysyllabic medical terms; to find out the relationship between the students' ability to identify stress patterns of English polysyllabic medical terms and the ability to pronounce them; and to investigate students' opinions on the word-stress marking in English polysyllabic medical terms. The participants …
