Bullying Prevention In Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports: A Review Of The Literature, Allen Garcia, Regina M. Oliver
Bullying Prevention In Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports: A Review Of The Literature, Allen Garcia, Regina M. Oliver
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
The literature has suggested that problem behavior in the schools is an ongoing problem (Sugai et. al., 2000). This is a major concern for schools that want to provide a safe learning environment that promotes positive behaviors and academic learning. Such problem requires a systematic response, thus, School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) was created to target and prevent problem behaviors. Another form of problem behaviors in schools is bullying, and within the framework of SW-PBIS, there is limited research on targeting bullying. The current review examines and evaluates current research of SW-PBIS, and it’s application to bullying. Searches …
The Curriculum Of Health And Nutrition Education In Czech Republic (Article), Jana Koptíková
The Curriculum Of Health And Nutrition Education In Czech Republic (Article), Jana Koptíková
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
ABSTRACT
The average one-year health expenditure per capita in the European member states has doubled in the last 15 years. Prevention is less expensive than treatment, and changes in diet and lifestyle remain the most effective way to reduce the financial health care costs. However, European health systems are primarily treatment systems, not preventive systems. Improper diet and lack of physical activity are the most critical factors contributing to the overweight and obesity pandemic. Along with heavy alcohol consumption and smoking, these four factors contribute the most to the development of chronic non-communicable diseases. These diseases kill more than 36 …

Evaluation Of Nutrition And Physical Activity Curricula Based On The Social Cognitive Theory, Elisha Hall, Julie A. Albrecht, Weiwen Chai, Alyssa Vierregger, Johnna Hall, Wanda Koszewski
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
Background: Childhood obesity has increased over the past two decades, causing numerous complications. Currently, there is no required standardized curriculum for nutrition/physical activity in the United States. The objective of the current study is to examine the effects of a three-week, social cognitive theory-based nutrition/physical activity curricula on changes of behaviors among 5th grade students.
Methods: This study will be conducted in Lincoln Public Schools, involving three phases:
Phase 1: A Social Cognitive Theory based survey measuring behavior change, knowledge, self-efficacy, and environment will be developed and validated using eight nutrition experts. The survey will be pilot tested with a …
Food Safety Education Using Conceptual Change Teaching Strategies Among Native American Nebraskans, Rachel C. Sinley, Kris Foley, Julie A. Albrecht
Food Safety Education Using Conceptual Change Teaching Strategies Among Native American Nebraskans, Rachel C. Sinley, Kris Foley, Julie A. Albrecht
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
Foodborne illnesses impact millions of individuals each year, with young children at high risk of contracting such diseases. Many of the pathogens responsible for these illnesses can be destroyed with proper food handling techniques. Research has shown that there is a need for improved food safety education among the general public and among specific sub-populations. This project seeks to increase food safety knowledge, motivation and behavioral skills among Native American food preparers with young children. A food safety education curriculum was developed using the Conceptual Change Teaching Method and was guided by the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Theory of health behavior change. …
Teaching Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Students: A Phenomenological Study Of Volunteer Teachers' Learning Curve, Jessica Sierk
Teaching Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Students: A Phenomenological Study Of Volunteer Teachers' Learning Curve, Jessica Sierk
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
The purpose of this phenomenological study is to explore and describe the experiences of former Cristo Rey Jesuit High School teacher volunteers. The experiences of these teacher volunteers include how they learned to teach on the job, as well as how they developed the intercultural competence necessary to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students.
Central Question: What meaning do former Cristo Rey Jesuit High School teacher volunteers attribute to their learning to teach process?
The Role Of Discourse In Teaching Scientific Inquiry: A Descriptive Study Of Two Student Teachers, Jia Lu
The Role Of Discourse In Teaching Scientific Inquiry: A Descriptive Study Of Two Student Teachers, Jia Lu
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
Research Questions
1.What does inquiry-based science instruction mean to preservice science teachers (PTSs) ?
2.How do PTSs view the role of discourse in inquiry-based science instruction ?
3.How do PTSs structure a classroom discourse that supports teaching scientific inquiry?
This study finds that the meaning and the practice of teaching scientific inquiry could have a different emphasis due to PTSs’ own experience with inquiry and the nature of the class they teach. The two PTSs confirmed that discourse plays an important role in inquiry-based science classrooms, however, the degree to which they would like to have students talk about scientific …
Preschool Children’S Conservation Reasoning And Understanding About Nature, Julia C. Torquati, Julia Kroeker, Carmun Kok
Preschool Children’S Conservation Reasoning And Understanding About Nature, Julia C. Torquati, Julia Kroeker, Carmun Kok
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
This research uses Moral Domain Theory to examine preschool children’s reasoning about conservation. Three criteria differentiate between moral, personal, and conventional issues: universal application to all people in morally similar situations; not contingent upon societal rules; justification tied to rights and welfare.
Kahn (2001) reported that young children use predominately “harm to nature” justifications when asked about potentially harmful actions such as throwing trash in a waterway. Based on his investigation on environmental moral reasoning of participants ages 6 years to young adulthood across multiple cultures, Kahn proposed a developmental model that progresses from justifications (for prohibiting an action) focusing …

Ell High School Students Of Mexican Ancestry: A Phenomenological Study Of Language Ideologies, Kristine Sudbeck
Ell High School Students Of Mexican Ancestry: A Phenomenological Study Of Language Ideologies, Kristine Sudbeck
The Nebraska Educator: A Student-Led Journal
The formation of languages and dialects is frequently considered a social process (Gal & Irvine, 1995). As such, humans form their own ideologies about particular language varieties, placing values on certain ones in a given context more than others (Greenfield, 2010). The development of a person’s language ideology can be influenced by the profit of distinction, which Pierre Bourdieu (1984) describes as the “noted margin of difference for usefulness and prestige of a particular language” (p. 55). It is through the process of misrecognition (Bourdieu, 1984) that a particular language is “recognized as legitimate and appropriate for discourse in official …
