Coracoid Process Fracture In A High School Football Player, Edwin E. Ryan, Jenna Doherty, Lindsey Eberman
South Florida Education Research Conference
We presented a unique case of a high school athlete who suffered from a coracoid process fracture following a collision with an opposing player. This fracture is commonly misdiagnosed as a clavicular fracture or AC joint sprain. Initial radiographic examination may fail to identify the fracture site. Understanding the clinical features of this injury is an important prerequisite to its overall management. Any misdiagnosis or alteration from the appropriate course of treatment can inhibit return to play and may be avoided by using indicated diagnostic evaluation tools.

Metacognitive Strategies And Learning, Charlotte Zeitsiff
Metacognitive Strategies And Learning, Charlotte Zeitsiff
South Florida Education Research Conference
During the past decade, metacognition has been identified not only as a component of cognition but also as an important factor in learning.

The existing metacognitive studies have concentrated on several areas. One area centers on the continuing efforts to identify all the elements of metacognition. Another area concentrates on the roles that metacognition plays in specific learning behaviors that occur at various ages and levels of complexity. The third area investigates the relationships of metacognition to specific content areas of …
