Researcher As Instrument: Understanding "Shifting" Findings In Constructivist Research, Dafina-Lazarus Stewart
Researcher As Instrument: Understanding "Shifting" Findings In Constructivist Research, Dafina-Lazarus Stewart
Higher Education and Student Affairs Faculty Publications
Two studies investigating the meaning and articulation of multiple identities among Black college students revealed shifts in the findings from the 2001 study to the 2005 study. This theoretical review explores the role of the researcher as instrument within the constructivist research paradigm as a possible explanation for some of these apparent differences. Implications and suggestions for researchers and graduate preparation are offered.

Effective Difference Of Research Projects On Secondary Mathematics Preservice Teachers' Sense Of Efficacy, Gabriel T. Matney, Jack Jackson
Effective Difference Of Research Projects On Secondary Mathematics Preservice Teachers' Sense Of Efficacy, Gabriel T. Matney, Jack Jackson
School of Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications
The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the difference in teacher efficacy measures of two groups of preservice teachers who were given modified research projects and were enrolled in a secondary mathematics methods course. The participants were divided into two groups doing modified research projects related to the field of mathematics education. The modification of research projects were grounded in one of Bandura’s (1997) sources of self-efficacy: vicarious experience. Two possible vicarious experiences that inform preservice teachers’ sense of teacher efficacy are reading professional literature and watching others teach followed by discussing the results. These two contexts are …

In this mixed-methods study, we examine the degree to which district-and building-level administrators accommodate teacher-quality and test-based accountability policies in their hiring practices. We find that administrators negotiated local hiring goals with characteristics emphasized by federal and state teacher-quality policies, such as knowledge of the subject and teaching skills. While district administrators and principals largely "bridged" to external certification requirements, some principals "buffered" their hiring decisions from the pressures of test-based accountability. Principals who bridged to test-based accountability gave greater weight to subject knowledge and teaching skills. We find that bridging and buffering differs by policy and cannot be easily …
Sites Of Refuge: Refugees, Religiosity, And Public Schools In The United States, Bruce A. Collet
Sites Of Refuge: Refugees, Religiosity, And Public Schools In The United States, Bruce A. Collet
School of Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy Faculty Publications
In this article the author examines public schools in the United States as sites where immigrants and refugees express their religious identities as part of their integration processes. In particular, the author examines the schools as “sites of refuge” for refugee students. Although public schools provide refugees with opportunity for study without regard to race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion (areas of potential persecution under the 1951 UN Convention Regarding the Status of Refugees), owing to their liberal and secular nature they necessarily put constraints on the degree to which students may exercise their …
