Childhood Inequality In China - Accepted Manuscript (Am).Pdf, Natalie A.E. Young, Emily C. Hannum Dec 2017

Childhood Inequality In China - Accepted Manuscript (Am).Pdf, Natalie A.E. Young, Emily C. Hannum

Natalie A.E. Young

In recent decades, China has transformed from a relatively egalitarian society to a highly unequal one. What are the implications of high levels of inequality for the lives of children? Drawing on two newly available, nationally representative datasets, the China Family Panel Studies and the China Education Panel Survey, we develop a comprehensive portrait of childhood inequality in post-reform China. Analyses reveal stark disparities between children from different socioeconomic backgrounds in family environments and in welfare outcomes, including physical health, psychosocial health, and educational performance. We argue that childhood inequality in China is driven not only by the deprivations of …

Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try: Is Your Teacher A Yoda Or A Darth Sidious?, R B. Forsyth Dec 2017

Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try: Is Your Teacher A Yoda Or A Darth Sidious?, R B. Forsyth

Scott T. Allison

This chapter provides a framework for understanding teachers as heroes, and also to draw attention to impediments of heroism that can create a villainous teacher. By exploring both misunderstanding and misuse of the power of the teacher role, my goal is to offer a cogent analysis of how teachers can commit subtle acts of passive or active evil. I will use examples drawn from both cultural elements of media such as movies and books as well as cases from news stories and blogs of everyday heroic and villainous teachers. Lastly, this chapter will explore historical role that teachers have played …

Faculty Support For Internationalization: The Case Study Of A United States Based Private University, Babu P. George, Marta Almeyda Dec 2017

Faculty Support For Internationalization: The Case Study Of A United States Based Private University, Babu P. George, Marta Almeyda

Babu George

Universities around the world are internationalizing themselves at a higher pace than even seen before. Faculty support is recognized as critical for the success of the internationalization mission. However, faculty motivation and commitment are often taken for granted; administrators direct most of their attention to tackling partnership issues and managing the external environment. This paper unravels certain critical issues associated with faculty support for internationalization in a small private university located in a US jurisdiction area. Data show that absence of an institutional structure for effective organizational communication would result in imperfect information about internationalization being circulated. Also, incentives like …

Why Can’T It Mark This One? A Qualitative Analysis Of Student Writing Rejected By An Automated Essay Scoring System, Nathanael Reinertsen Dec 2017

Why Can’T It Mark This One? A Qualitative Analysis Of Student Writing Rejected By An Automated Essay Scoring System, Nathanael Reinertsen

Nathanael Reinertsen

The difference in how humans read and how Automatic Essay Scoring (AES) systems process written language leads to a situation where a portion of student responses will be comprehensible to human markers, while being unable to be parsed by AES systems. This paper examines a number of pieces of student writing that were marked by trained human markers, but subsequently rejected by an AES system during the development of a scoring model for the eWrite online writing assessment that is offered by The Australian Council for Educational Research. The features of these ‘unscoreable’ responses are examined through a qualitative analysis. …

Classroom Climate, Academic Success, And Intent To Persist Among Non-Christian And Christian Undergraduate Students, Christy M. Craft, Yang Yang Dec 2017

Classroom Climate, Academic Success, And Intent To Persist Among Non-Christian And Christian Undergraduate Students, Christy M. Craft, Yang Yang

Christy Moran Craft

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of classroom climate held by 3,900 undergraduate non-Christian and Christian students at 1 large Midwestern university and to determine whether those perceptions influenced their academic success and intent to persist. The results suggested that Christian students held more positive perceptions of classroom climate than non-Christian students. Moreover, regardless of their perceptions of classroom climate, Christian students were more academically successful and had higher intentions to persist than non-Christian students. For all of the students in the study, positive perceptions of classroom climate advantageously impacted academic success and intent to persist.

The Effects Of Using An Information Literacy Model On The Information Seeking Behavior Of Sixth-Grade Students, Jessica Kohout-Tailor Dec 2017

The Effects Of Using An Information Literacy Model On The Information Seeking Behavior Of Sixth-Grade Students, Jessica Kohout-Tailor

Jessica Kohout-Tailor


This action research study describes how teaching an information literacy model affects the information behavior of sixth-grade students.  The theoretical framework that supported this study was Carol Kuhlthau’s Information Search Process or ISP (1989).  This study used a sequential mixed-methods design to examine the following questions: “How will teaching the Simple Four information literacy model (Alewine, 2006) to sixth-grade students affect their information seeking behavior?” The study also explored the effects the model had on students’ affective behavior through the second research question: “How will teaching the Simple Four information literacy model (Alewine, 2006) to sixth-grade students affect their …

Epp Caf Poster.Pdf, Lisa Epp

Lisa Epp


According to the 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health, more than 46% of children across the U.S. have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience or ACE.  Adverse Childhood Experiences can have detrimental, long-term effects on a child’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. Becoming a trauma-informed school can change the negative outcomes for those students who have been impacted by traumatic events. The focus of this literature review will explore trauma-informed practices and frameworks currently being used in schools across the U.S.; and the benefits of using positive education paradigms that incorporate trauma-informed care within the educational setting.

Circles Presentation.Pdf, Brandie M. Oliver

Brandie M. Oliver

This presentation will share the results of two pilot studies using Circles. Circles give people an opportunity to speak and listen to one another in an atmosphere of safety and equality. Circles were used to build and strengthen relationships as well as deliver academic content and increase social/emotional learning principles. One pilot study focused on infusing children’s literature into Circle lessons in a 3rd grade classroom and the second pilot study targeted academic motivation and lack of connectedness for high school students in 9th and 11th grade.

Successes And Challenges In Supporting Undergraduate Peer Educators To Notice And Respond To Equity Considerations Within Design Teams, Chandra Anne Turpen, Ayush Gupta, Jennifer Radoff, Andrew Elby, Hannah Sabo, Gina M. Quan Dec 2017

Successes And Challenges In Supporting Undergraduate Peer Educators To Notice And Respond To Equity Considerations Within Design Teams, Chandra Anne Turpen, Ayush Gupta, Jennifer Radoff, Andrew Elby, Hannah Sabo, Gina M. Quan

Gina Quan

We describe and analyze our efforts to support Learning Assistants (LAs)—undergraduate peer
educators who simultaneously take a 3-credit pedagogy course—in fostering equitable team
dynamics and collaboration within a project-based engineering design course. Tonso and
others have shown that (a) inequities can “live” in mundane interactions such as those among
students within design teams and (b) those inequities both reflect and (re)produce broader
cultural patterns and narratives (e.g. Wolfe & Powell, 2009; Tonso, 1996, 2006a, 2006b;
McLoughlin, 2005). LAs could be well-positioned to notice and potentially disrupt inequitable
patterns of participation within design teams. In this paper, we explore (1) How …

The Access Network: Bringing Together Student Leaders To Support Equity Programs, Gina M. Quan, Chandra A. Turpen Dec 2017

The Access Network: Bringing Together Student Leaders To Support Equity Programs, Gina M. Quan, Chandra A. Turpen

Gina Quan

The Access Network consists of nine university-based programs from across the country working towards a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible STEM community. Each program places a strong emphasis on undergraduate and graduate student leadership, and some programs are entirely student-led. One component of Access is an annual Assembly, which brings together representatives from current and potential Access sites to update each other, share lessons learned, support each other in overcoming challenges, participate in professional development, and build relationships with others interested in promoting justice in STEM education. The Assembly is co-designed by a team of student leaders from each …

E Pluribus Unum, David Silva Dec 2017

E Pluribus Unum, David Silva

David Silva

The meeting was tense. Student expectations were clear: They wanted new courses on environmental justice. The president and provost agreed, stating the university could implement these innovations in eighteen months, provided that the faculty would create new classes and move them through governance. The students’ disappointment was palpable. “Can’t you make that happen faster?”

“Who’s in charge?” It’s a question often asked of multilayered organizations. In higher education, institutional power dynamics are complicated by the oft under- understood cultural norm known as “shared governance.” In 1967, the American Association of University Professors endorsed a “Statement on Government of Colleges and …

Questioning Strategies As A Best Tool For Learning Student In Classroom, Prashant Kawatra, Navin Ahlawat Dec 2017

Questioning Strategies As A Best Tool For Learning Student In Classroom, Prashant Kawatra, Navin Ahlawat

International Scientific Journals

Teachers' questions have been traditionally viewed as an important constituent of teacher talk in classroom context. And questioning pattern has received much attention ever since. To maximize learning, questions are used to provoke talks which are meant to stimulate learning both the content and the language. Teachers as initiators and sustainers of classroom talk must understand how they manage classroom in such ways that students have chances to speak. The study was aimed at discovering the kinds of questions that are difficult to respond and the strategies that the teacher uses in classroom talk practice. Observations were video-taped and interviews …

The Relationship Of Parent Styles And Children’S Classroom Motivation In India, Rahimtaj Kumar Gulia, Ajay Nagaveni Dec 2017

The Relationship Of Parent Styles And Children’S Classroom Motivation In India, Rahimtaj Kumar Gulia, Ajay Nagaveni

International Scientific Journals

Self-regulated learning is an important aspect of student learning and academic achievement. Certain parenting styles help children develop self-regulated learning and encourage them to exert control over their own learning. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship that exists between parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian and permissive) and student’s classroom motivation. Simple random sampling was used to select the subjects for the study. The sample consisted of 390 comprising of 130 students, 130 parents and 130 teachers from twenty public and private High Schools in India. The data were analyzed using partial correlation and logistic regression and analytical …

Mcguffey Readers: Elementary School Reading Books, Samuel J. Smith Dec 2017

Mcguffey Readers: Elementary School Reading Books, Samuel J. Smith

Samuel James Smith

With over 122 million copies sold from 1838 to 1920, the McGuffey Eclectic Readers taught more Americans to read than any other textbook. Initial publication coincided with a unique period in United States history as the West was settled, newly arrived immigrants assimilated, and the common school movement gained momentum. At this time, the nation was at a critical point of forming a distinct identity. These phenomena created a demand for textbooks that would not only meet the practical need for curriculum in developing schools but would also extend prevailing American values both to children new to the frontier and …

A Universal Research Design For Student Affairs Scholars And Practitioners, Kirsten R. Brown Dec 2017

A Universal Research Design For Student Affairs Scholars And Practitioners, Kirsten R. Brown

Kirsten R. Brown, Ph.D.

Research on the experiences of college students with disabilities and the extent to which student affairs practitioners and scholars are meeting their needs is sparse. This article advances the concept of Universal Research Design (URD) by discussing the application of universal design principles to research on college students. Four critical considerations that student affairs practitioners and scholars should address when conducting disability research include (a) language and operational definitions, (b) accessing participants, (c) data collection for both qualitative and quantitative research, and (d) researcher’s positionality and just representation. We demonstrate how URD can be used to make research on students …

Reducing Your Time: Self-Assessment Practices That Work, Stephen Fitzmaurice Dec 2017

Reducing Your Time: Self-Assessment Practices That Work, Stephen Fitzmaurice

Stephen Fitzmaurice

This paper outlines efforts to teach critical thinking skills for students and reduce grading time. Faculty in
the educational interpreting program stopped providing direct feedback on their interpreted work and
implemented a self-assessment only system of assessment. As part of this process students were taught and
then graded on the efficacy of their self-assessment of their own interpreting work. This has fundamentally
altered program and course assessments and reduced the amount of time it takes for grading and
evaluation. Findings indicate implementing self-assessments throughout each course, improves students’
actual interpreting performance as evidenced by higher Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment
(EIPA) …

Teaching To Self Assess: Developing Critical Thinking Skills For Student Interpreters, Stephen Fitzmaurice Dec 2017

Teaching To Self Assess: Developing Critical Thinking Skills For Student Interpreters, Stephen Fitzmaurice

Stephen Fitzmaurice

In an effort to teach critical thinking skills to interpreting students, our
educational interpreting program has stopped providing direct feedback
on their interpreted work. We believe that independent practitioners
need to be skilled at self-assessment rather than relying on external ratings
of performance; thus, for the last 2 years, I have taught and then
graded students on the efficacy of their self-assessment of their own
work. To assess this change, I analyzed the Educational Interpreter Performance
Assessment (EIPA) ratings of students who received direct
feedback and those who learned to self-assess. The findings indicate that
the students who were taught …

The Poor And Marginalized Among Us: Contingent Faculty In Jesuit Universities, Richard D. Clark, Carrie Buchanan, Christina Rawls Dec 2017

The Poor And Marginalized Among Us: Contingent Faculty In Jesuit Universities, Richard D. Clark, Carrie Buchanan, Christina Rawls

Carrie Buchanan

Faculty of institutions of higher learning have an opportunity to discuss, debate, and discern how to create
workplaces that are just and inclusive. As members of Jesuit institutions, we have a moral obligation to do so. How, then, can Jesuit universities justify the poor treatment of contingent faculty, who are now a majority not just in our institutions but in the country as a whole? Tenure-track employment is a fading tradition in universities throughout the United States. The data also show that non-tenure-track faculty, particularly the growing number of part-time adjunct faculty, constitute a population of marginalized, often poor, employees …
