The Constructivist-Based Approach : The Better Choice For Learning, Consuella Eugene
The Constructivist-Based Approach : The Better Choice For Learning, Consuella Eugene
Graduate Research Papers
With the integration of technology in the classroom, the constructivist-based approach encourages students to utilize their minds in a scholastic and a creative manner. Students are encouraged to learn via creativity, experience, experimentation, and teamwork. Teachers are able to organize information around conceptual clusters of problems and questions as opposed to learning facts in isolation. This approach is based upon the idea that students construct their own knowledge, rather than reproducing someone else's knowledge.
The advantages of the constructivist-based approach will be clearly noted and described by this researcher exploring the learning environments for students, students learning, student involvement, evaluation …

Establishing Literature Circles In One Middle School Teacher's Classroom, Kristin M. Englert Gehrke
Establishing Literature Circles In One Middle School Teacher's Classroom, Kristin M. Englert Gehrke
Graduate Research Papers
Literature circles are a popular method of reading instruction in middle school classrooms. Literature circles are when small groups of students choose one book to read and then meet to discuss it. Students are taught how to discuss a book and use response journals. Implementing literature circles into a reading curriculum requires a great deal of planning. A teacher must make decisions about structure, themes, response journals, discussion groups, assessment and final projects.
Literature circles are an evolving teaching method and will not always work the same way each time they are used. I found literature circles to be a …
When The Wildebeest Gets Your Berries : Adolescent Anger Management, Patresa A. Hartman
When The Wildebeest Gets Your Berries : Adolescent Anger Management, Patresa A. Hartman
Graduate Research Papers
This study presents a review of literature regarding adolescent anger management. Problematic anger is defined as externalizing or internalizing behaviors that occur frequently enough and at a high enough level of intensity to: (1) disrupt one's everyday functioning at school, home, and/or in the community; and (2) impair one's relationships with others and one's own self-concept. The causes can be traced to a myriad of possible sources: cognitive problems; developmental problems; chronic irritability, agitation, volatility, or mood instability; or environmental stressors.
This review of studies regarding adolescent anger management programs leads to the following suggestions for school psychologists: (1) understand …

Factors such as language and methods of learning, segregation, poverty, low parental involvement in education, discrimination, and stress due to immigration have been identified as factors contributing to low academic success.
The ways in which schools deal with immigrant students is also discussed. Further research is needed on immigrant Latino families …

Removing Dust Bunnies And Expensive Paperweights From The Classroom : Effective Staff Development In Educational Technology, Margaret F. Krzywicki
Graduate Research Papers
With major funding directed toward putting technology in the classroom and training students to be tomorrow's workers, there needs to be an effective technology staff development program in place for the teachers. Developers of staff development programs need to include the learning style of adult learners (andragogy), instead of pedagogy. Successful staff development for the teachers must include innovation, release time, and quality equipment. The learning styles of adult learners should be foremost in the development of courses and workshops. Staff development is more than just the technical side of the technology. It should provide teachers with the tools to …

Improving After-School Programs : A Literature Review, Harriet A. Davis
Graduate Research Papers
The desire and need for after-school programs in the United States is steadily increasing especially for low- to moderate-income children and adolescents. Studies show after-school program participants watch less television and spend more time in academic activities and enrichment lessons (Posner and Vandell 1994). As a result, these programs are extremely beneficial to children who participate in them. After-school programs also provide a safe haven for countless children who need adult supervision at the end of the regular school day.
The following analysis is a compilation of information derived from scholarly journals, books, organizations participating in after-school programs, Internet sources, …

Technology Staff Development, Paul A. Rabara
Technology Staff Development, Paul A. Rabara
Graduate Research Papers
Traditional staff development does not suffice for emerging technologies and evolving pedagogy for teacher use of technology in instruction. Societal changes have produced new needs. Change causes a need to systematically look at progress and the attributes associated with the diffusion of innovations (Rogers, 1995). Roswell (1997) is only one of several schools who have dedicated considerable resources to developing a technology staff development plan with results in higher percentages of teachers using technology in the classroom. Technology staff development should have characteristics in models that coincide with the attributes of diffusion. Technology staff development can bridge the use and …
Literature Review : Using Humor With Children, Carol J. Aswegen Thornhill
Literature Review : Using Humor With Children, Carol J. Aswegen Thornhill
Graduate Research Papers
The purpose of this paper is to explore and review the literature on humor, particularly as it relates to interactions with children. Often adults, whether they are parents or teachers, devalue the use of humor in dealing with children. Research supports that humor is a beneficial component of social interactions, especially with children. Studies have shown that children are receptive to humor beginning at very young ages, and that their sense of humor is developed and finely tuned as they mature. Findings show that by using humor in social situations, stress levels can be de-escalated, defensive reactions are reduced--which in …
Male Childhood Sexual Abuse : Do Not Overlook It, Elizabeth Soenen
Male Childhood Sexual Abuse : Do Not Overlook It, Elizabeth Soenen
Graduate Research Papers
Male childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is often unrecognized and under-reported; therefore, its symptoms are often left untreated. The research reveals it is more prevalent than previously thought and is accompanied by a variety of maladaptive symptoms. Clinicians' awareness of these findings, along with self-awareness of their own beliefs about male CSA, is likely to lead to identification of its presence and the opportunity to choose appropriate interventions.

Linking The Literacy Curriculum With Technology, Scot J. Surprenant
Graduate Research Papers
Evaluating the process and needs of linking literacy and technology in the educational setting. The technology is presented as the driving force of change in the literacy.
