Effective Training Modalities To Teach The Use Of Naloxone Nasal Spray, Dominick V. Zurlo
Effective Training Modalities To Teach The Use Of Naloxone Nasal Spray, Dominick V. Zurlo
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
This paper examines the use of four different modalities to teach the correct assembly and administration method to use a naloxone nasal device. Naloxone is a medication which can reverse an opioid overdose when administered correctly. This specific device has been used for over a decade, and has been instrumental in opioid prevention educational programs to bystanders and individuals who use substances (NMDOH, 2017). Prior research studies utilizing naloxone nasal devices, have included outcome data collected from programs which train individuals who use opioids, and distribute the naloxone nasal device (Kerr, 2008). Others have included examination of curriculum content with …
The Effect Of The Sophomore Slump On Students’ Persistence, Vanessa Harris
The Effect Of The Sophomore Slump On Students’ Persistence, Vanessa Harris
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
For years, universities have focused on student admissions and getting students through their first-year. According to Schaller (2010), this has resulted in limited literature and research regarding the persistence of sophomore students. From Fall 2010 to Fall 2015, the University of New Mexico (UNM) has experienced a decrease in the persistence of its cohorts from the third to the fifth semester. The existence of this higher attrition rate amongst sophomore students has been associated with a phenomenon known as the “sophomore slump” (Tobolowsky & Cox, 2007). The purpose of this research study was to utilize student retention conceptual models to …
The Predictability Of New Mexico’S Summative Reading Assessment By Two Commonly Used Early Literacy Assessments, The Dynamic Indicators Of Basic Early Literacy Skills Next (Dibels Next) And The Developmental Reading Assessment – Second Edition (Dra2), Michelle I. Osowski
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
This study will determine the degree to which first grade literacy tests predict third grade reading performance in order to judge their value as "early warning systems" for reading skills. Reading skills are fundamental to many academic outcomes, so having an early sense of how students are reading is critical for schools. The first grade reading tests being compared are the Developmental Reading Assessment-Second Edition (DRA2) and the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills – Next (DIBELS Next). This study will employ two datasets, one with DIBELS Next scores (N=5,456) and one with DRA2 …
How Teachers Use Beliefs And Knowledge In Changing Contexts: A Multi-Site Ethnographic Study With Nicaraguan Multigrade Elementary School Teachers, Tenley M. Ruth
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
This ethngoraphic study investigates how multigrade elementary school teachers in the central-northern mountains of Nicaragua developed and used shared societal, institutional and individual belief systems and knowledge to both understand and decide if, how, when and with whom to act upon the government’s values education curriculum and mandates. To understand teacher use of overlapping beliefs systems, the research provided parallel ethnographic accounts of teachers’, parents’ and government officials’ interpretations and actions regarding values education. The findings suggest that teachers used a wide panorama of overlapping and often contradictory beliefs systems in addition to beliefs about teaching and learning in general …
