Identifying Faculty And Peer Interaction Patterns Of First-Year Biology Doctoral Students: A Latent Class Analysis, Soojeong Jeong, Jennifer M. Blaney, David F. Feldon
Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences Faculty Publications
Faculty and peer interactions play a key role in shaping graduate student socialization. Yet, within the literature on graduate student socialization, researchers have primarily focused on understanding the nature and impact of faculty alone, and much less is known about how peer interactions also contribute to graduate student outcomes. Using a national sample of first-year biology doctoral students, this study reveals distinct categories that classify patterns of faculty and peer interaction. Further, we document inequities such that certain groups (e.g., underrepresented minority students) report constrained types of interactions with faculty and peers. Finally, we connect faculty and peer interaction patterns …
The Effect Of Posture On Classroom Participation, Janine Cerutti
The Effect Of Posture On Classroom Participation, Janine Cerutti
Honors Theses
Past research suggested that students with low self-esteem participate less in class than students with high self-esteem. Separately, prior research investigated the effects of nonverbal behavior on different variables such as confidence and performance. In the current research, we explored the effect of posture on the level of class participation (i.e. the number of times participants raised their hand to participate during a question-answer session). First, participants were asked to take a self-esteem questionnaire before participating in a simulated lecture. Next, participants were randomly assigned to either a slumped or upright posture condition. During the lecture, participants watched a short …

Aplikasi Model Rasch Campuran Dalam Mengevaluasi Pengukuran Harga Diri, Wahyu Widhiarso
Jurnal Penelitian dan Evaluasi Pendidikan
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi keberadaan kelompok responden yang menyebabkan estimasi parameter butir melalui pemodelan Rasch tidak invarian pada keseluruhan responden. Teknik analisis yang dipakai adalah model Rasch campuran yang merupakan penggabungan antara Model Rasch dan analisis kelas laten. Dengan menggunakan data hasil pengukuran harga diri didapatkan hasil analisis bahwa keseluruhan responden penelitian sebanyak 2.987 dapat dikategorikan menjadi tiga kelas berdasarkan pola respons mereka pada skala. Hasil estimasi parameter butir pada responden pada masing-masing kelas dengan menggunakan model kredit parsial menunjukkan bahwa ketiga kelas memiliki parameter butir yang berbeda. Dua kelas relatif sesuai dengan model, sedangkan satu kelas tidak sesuai …

Evaluation Of The Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy Initiative : Final Report, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)
Indigenous Education Research
In October 2012, the Queensland Department of Education Training and Employment (DETE) contracted the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) to undertake an evaluation of the Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy (CYAAA) Initiative. The CYAAA Initiative is designed to improve student outcomes. It is a pilot program operating in primary schools at Coen, Hope Vale and Aurukun. (The trial began in January 2010 in Aurukun and Coen, and in January 2011 in Hope Vale.) The Initiative is part of the Cape York Welfare Reform education stream.
Charter Schools Or Progressive Education? Lessons From Finland, Christopher J. Poor
Charter Schools Or Progressive Education? Lessons From Finland, Christopher J. Poor
Christopher J Poor
New Zealand’s current government has embarked on a course of supporting private providers of education in the form of “partnership” schools with the claim that these charter schools can address the recalcitrant problem of disparity of achievement between students from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. This paper examines evidence from the research on charter schools and argues that attention should rather be paid to the Finnish example of high and equal educational achievement and to the landmark achievements of New Zealand’s own pioneers of progressive education as we prepare a new generation for the twenty-first century.
