Structures And Strategies For Science Teacher Education In The 21st Century, Douglas B. Larkin

The central premise is that there is much to learn from what is already being done in this field from the different visions of science teacher education currently …

Parenting And Co-Regulation: Adaptive Systems For Competence In Children Experiencing Homelessness, Janette E. Herbers, J. J. Cutuli, Laura M. Supkoff, Angela J. Narayan, Ann S. Masten

J. J. Cutuli

The role of effective parenting in promoting child executive functioning and school success was examined among 138 children (age 4 to 6 years) staying in family emergency shelters the summer before kindergarten or first grade. Parent-child co-regulation, which refers to relationship processes wherein parents guide and respond to the behavior of their children, was observed during structured interaction tasks and quantified as a dyadic construct using state space grid methodology. Positive co-regulation was related to children’s executive functioning and IQ, which in turn were related to teacher-reported outcomes once school began. Separate models considering parenting behavior demonstrated that EF carried …

Evaluating A Proposed Modification Of The Guttman Rule For Determining The Number Of Factors In An Exploratory Factor Analysis, Russell T. Warne, Ross Larsen Dec 2013

Evaluating A Proposed Modification Of The Guttman Rule For Determining The Number Of Factors In An Exploratory Factor Analysis, Russell T. Warne, Ross Larsen

Russell T Warne

Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is a widely used statistical method in which researchers attempt to ascertain the number and nature of latent factors that explain their observed variables. When conducting an EFA, researchers must choose the number of factors to retain—a critical decision that has drastic effects if made incorrectly. In this article, we examine a newly proposed method of choosing the number of factors to retain. In the new method, confidence intervals are created around each eigenvalue and factors are retained if the entire eigenvalue is greater than 1.0. Results show that this new method outperforms the traditional Guttman …

Engaging Students In Disaster Relief Training Exercises Dec 2013

Engaging Students In Disaster Relief Training Exercises

Dr. John R. Fisher

Incorporating National Incident Management System training and exercise principles into homeland security and emergency management learning can help university students develop emergency response capabilities through practical application of knowledge in simulated incidents. In addition, they gain team-building and leadership skills, establish relationships with professionals that will carry forward into their careers, and obtain confidence in their abilities to respond under pressure to simulated critical incidents. This case study describes student experience in disaster relief and humanitarian service exercises in the United States, Kosovo, and the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia. The DEAL approach to critical thinking is used to provide …

Critical Travel And Work-Mekong: Ho Chi Minh To Phnom Penh, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle Dec 2013

Critical Travel And Work-Mekong: Ho Chi Minh To Phnom Penh, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

A ‘critical travel and work’ model of travel demands an immersive, engaged, multi-sensory, approach to study and travel. A rapidly developing city provides a collapse of time and future urban conditions upon a physical location
allowing for intense investigation of the possible future of both global urban conditions and specific manifestations of place. This paper describes the University of Houston College of Architecture’s 2013 Pan Asia study abroad
program sited in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The Impact Of Cultural Validation On The College Experiences Of Southeast Asian American Students., Dina C. Maramba, Phd, Robert T. Palmer, Phd Dec 2013

The Impact Of Cultural Validation On The College Experiences Of Southeast Asian American Students., Dina C. Maramba, Phd, Robert T. Palmer, Phd

Robert T. Palmer, PhD

The purpose of this study is to explore the critical role of culture on the success of Southeast Asian American (SEAA) college students. Specifically, we examined the saliency of cultural validation and how it shaped the educational trajectories of SEAAs. A national sample of 34 participants was analyzed across 5 public, 4-year colleges and universities. Findings suggest the need for (a) cultural knowledge, (b) cultural familiarity, (c) cultural expression, and (d) cultural advocacy. In addition, the low number of SEAA students on their respective campuses heavily influenced their college experience. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
