Culture Camp, Ethnic Identity, And Adoption Socialization For Korean Adoptees: A Pretest And Posttest Study, Amanda Baden
Culture Camp, Ethnic Identity, And Adoption Socialization For Korean Adoptees: A Pretest And Posttest Study, Amanda Baden
Department of Counseling Scholarship and Creative Works
This study explores the impact of racial-ethnic socialization on adopted South Korean children and adolescents who attended a sleepaway Korean culture camp for one week. This camp provided racial-ethnic socialization experiences via exposure to camp counselors, staff, and teachers who were Korean Americans, Korean nationals, and Korean adult adoptees, and exposure to cultural activities and discussions. Using a pretest-posttest design to control for the lack of a comparison group (McCall & Green, ), 75 Korean adoptee children and adolescents (mean age = 12.96) completed both the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) surveys at …

New Trends And Directions In Ethnic Identity Among Internationally Transracially Adopted Persons: Summary Of Special Issue, Rosa Rosnati, Ellen E. Pinderhughes, Amanda Baden, Harold D. Grotevant, Richard M. Lee, Jayashree Mohanty
Department of Counseling Scholarship and Creative Works
The collective findings of the six articles in this special issue highlight the importance of ethnic-racial socialization and ethnic identity among international transracial adoptees (ITRAs). A multidimensional developmental phenomenon, ethnic identity intersects with other identities, notably adoptive identity. Family, peers, community, and host culture are important socialization contexts that engage transracial adoptees in transactional processes that promote ethnic identity development. New directions in research were identified, including developmental processes in navigating ethnic and other identities, similarities and differences in ethnic identity between ITRAs and immigrants, the effectiveness of interventions targeting ethnic identity in ITRAs, and the impact of discrimination on …
Teacher Satisfaction And Turnover In Charter Schools: Examining The Variations And Possibilities For Collective Bargaining In State Laws, A. Chris Torres, Joseph Oluwole
Teacher Satisfaction And Turnover In Charter Schools: Examining The Variations And Possibilities For Collective Bargaining In State Laws, A. Chris Torres, Joseph Oluwole
Department of Counseling Scholarship and Creative Works
Charter schools see as many as one in four teachers leave annually, and recent evidence attributes much of this turnover to provisions affected by collective bargaining processes and state laws such as salary, benefits, job security, and working hours. There have been many recent efforts to improve teacher voice in charter schools (Kahlenberg & Potter, 2014), including engaging in some form of collective bargaining, but we know little about the possibilities dictated by state laws. Therefore, this article describes the possibilities and variations for collective bargaining by state and for different charter types (e.g., conversion vs. newly created charters), as …
Which Middle School Model Works Best? Evidence From The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Brian V. Carolan, Christopher C. Weiss, Jamaal Matthews
Which Middle School Model Works Best? Evidence From The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Brian V. Carolan, Christopher C. Weiss, Jamaal Matthews
Department of Educational Foundations Scholarship and Creative Works
There are few areas of school organization that reflect more dissatisfaction than how to structure the education of adolescents in the middle grades. This study uses multilevel models on nationally representative data provided by the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study to investigate the relationship between schools’ middle-level grade span and students’ math achievement. Classroom quality was considered as an explanation for any relationships between grade span and achievement. Also examined was whether gender and family structure moderated this relationship. Results indicate that there is no generalizable relationship between grade span configuration and math achievement, but that measures of classroom quality predicted …
Investigating Educator Identity-Construction : A Qualitative Study, Jonathan Dils Rogers
Investigating Educator Identity-Construction : A Qualitative Study, Jonathan Dils Rogers
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This dissertation uses a qualitative approach to examine the sources informing professional identity development in pre-service teachers. The central questions which guided this study are grounded within a few separate bodies of literature: moral education, identity theory, teacher education, and educational policy.
The data of this study revealed a trend among participants: Pre-service teachers view teaching first and foremost as a moral act. The study found that the beliefs and attitudes held by pre-service teachers about the identity of educators can be conceptualized in sixteen separate ways, across three separate codes toward teaching. In addition to teaching as a moral …

Aspects Of Site Supervision As Predictors Of Group Leader Self-Efficacy For Pre-Service School Counselors, Sarah I. Springer
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
As pre-service school counselors prepare to lead groups in practice, it is important to consider their beliefs about their abilities to run groups with children and adolescents in the school setting. Site supervision is one aspect of students’ experiential training that can impact the development of confidence surrounding group facilitation. The purpose of this study was to examine specific site supervisory factors that impact the development of pre-service school counselors’ group leader self-efficacy. Data from a sample of 123 pre-service school counseling internship students from CACREP-accredited programs was collected in order to determine the impact of predictor variables (general selfefficacy, …

Sexuality Education Websites For Adolescents: A Framework-Based Content Analysis, Sara Silverio Marques, Jessica S. Lin, Summer Starling, Aubrey G. Daquiz, Eva Goldfarb, Kimberly Garcia, Norman A. Constantine
Department of Public Health Scholarship and Creative Works
The web has unique potential for adolescents seeking comprehensive sexual health information. As such, it is important to understand the nature, scope, and readability of the content and messaging provided by sexuality educational websites. We conducted a content analysis of 14 sexuality education websites for adolescents, based on the 7 essential components (sexual and reproductive health and HIV, relationships, sexual rights and sexual citizenship, pleasure, violence, diversity, and gender) of the International Planned Parenthood Framework for Comprehensive Sexuality Education. A majority of content across all sites focused on sexual and reproductive health and HIV, particularly pregnancy and STI prevention, and …
Disability, Stigma And Otherness: Perspectives Of Parents And Teachers, Priya Lalvani
Disability, Stigma And Otherness: Perspectives Of Parents And Teachers, Priya Lalvani
Department of Teaching and Learning Scholarship and Creative Works
This qualitative study explored the perspectives of parents and teachers in the US with regard to the meaning and implications of disability in the context of schoolling, and of raising a child with a disability. The findings revealed broad conceptual differences in the perspectives of these two groups. Teachers’ beliefs were generally consistent with medical model perspectives on disability as biologically defined. Parents’ interpretations, more aligned with a sociocultural paradigm, were situated in the cultural meanings ascribed to disability and linked with issues of stigma, marginalisation and access. The findings also revealed the existence of master narratives on families of …
Gender Self-Confidence And Social Influence: Impact On Working Alliance, Ruthann Smith Anderson, Dana Levitt
Gender Self-Confidence And Social Influence: Impact On Working Alliance, Ruthann Smith Anderson, Dana Levitt
Department of Counseling Scholarship and Creative Works
The authors investigated the relationships between the counselor's gender self-confidence, the counselor's use of social influence within the counseling session, and the counselor's sex in relation to the counseling relationship. These attributes were studied with regard to how deeply a therapeutic working alliance developed between the counselor and the client. Results support the importance of counselor characteristics on the counselor-client alliance. Implications for teaching, research, and practice are presented.

Learning To Teach For Social Justice: Context And Progressivism At Bank Street In The 1930’S, Jaime Grinberg, Katia Paz Goldfarb
Department of Educational Foundations Scholarship and Creative Works
This is a historical case study of the role of contexts in the education of progressive teachers and learning to advance social justice through teaching. The case focuses on how progressive education, progressive schools, and progressive ideas in the US, primarily during the 1930’s influenced a very distinctive program, The Cooperative School for Teachers, which became Bank Street College of Education, in New York City. And in turn how this program came to influence what progressive teacher education could be about. This paper addresses how students at Bank Street developed a sense of relationship between the need to understand and …
Expert Teacher Contributions To Argumentation Quality During Inquiry Dialogue, Joseph M. Oyler
Expert Teacher Contributions To Argumentation Quality During Inquiry Dialogue, Joseph M. Oyler
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
The purpose of this study was to examine how expert teachers facilitate inquiry dialogue to contribute to argumentation quality during group discussions in elementary school classrooms. “Argument Literacy,” or the ability to comprehend and formulate arguments, is an important learning outcome identified by the recent Common Core State Standards. Given the value placed on argument skills, we need to know how teachers can support the development of argumentation in their students.
This study examined the facilitation of three expert teachers as it related to the quality of argumentation generated by fifth-grade students engaging in inquiry dialogue. To do this, I …
Learning The Meaning Of The Sacraments Of The Catholic Church Through Metaphorical Thinking, Christopher William Parker
Learning The Meaning Of The Sacraments Of The Catholic Church Through Metaphorical Thinking, Christopher William Parker
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This study examines a teaching method to help fifth-grade students understand the meaning of the symbols of the sacraments of the Catholic Church. The method implements physical objects in the classroom followed by the development of metaphors to ascertain the meaning of those objects. First, possible metaphors were explored dialogically in class. Then, through individual metaphorical thinking, students create their personal metaphoric statements for each sacrament. The study shows that students given the treatment, on average, scored higher on assessment questions related to the meaning of the sacraments than the control group. Fifth-grade students in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of …

Curricular Choice And Adolescents' Interest In Math: The Roles Of Network Diversity And Math Identity, Brian V. Carolan, Jamaal Matthews
Department of Educational Foundations Scholarship and Creative Works
Background/Context: Over the last two decades, school districts in the United States have increasingly allowed students and their families to choose the schools they attend and, at the high school level, the courses they take. While the movement to provide more curricular choice for students and families has accelerated, so, too, has the policy emphasis on increasing students' math achievement. The increased emphases on curricular choice and math achievement provide an opportunity to examine how students draw on their social capital when making curricular choices and whether the diversity of their relational resources is associated with math achievement. Purpose: We …

Archetype Of Freedom : The Dialectic Of The Phantastical Imagination, Joseph David Todd
Archetype Of Freedom : The Dialectic Of The Phantastical Imagination, Joseph David Todd
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This dissertation examines a conceptual paradox within the mounting crisis of imagination in education. I introduce the concept of phantasy (Marcuse, 1955) to, first, disrupt the dominant definitions of imagination found in educational policies such as Common Core State Standards and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) initiatives. These documents instrumentalize imagination in order to meet global economic initiatives (Committee on STEM Education (CoSTEM), 2012; CoSTEM, 2011; U.S. Department of Commerce, 2012). Against such instrumentalization, I propose to reunite imagination with phantasy. The result is a philosophical groundwork for what I call “phantastic imagination” which returns imagination to its radical, …
