Uzbek Language Syntax Research Methodology, Nilufar Ergashevna Yuldosheva

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

The article discusses the research methodology of Uzbek language syntax and its problems. Linguistics is inextricably linked with sciences such as philosophy, logic, and political science, and the relationship between language and thought has been one of the main issues of both linguistics and philosophy. Even when language and thought are taken separately, they become the object of study of linguistics and philosophy. Thinking and ideology are interdependent phenomena that require each other. This is also based on the fact that their terms are etymologically related. When it comes to the commonality of language and thought, their interconnectedness requires that …

Is Collegiate Political Correctness Fake News? Relationships Between Grades And Ideology, Matthew Woessner, Robert Maranto, Amanda Thompson

Education Reform Faculty and Graduate Students Publications

While considerable quantitative research demonstrates ideological liberalism among American professors, only qualitative work examines whether this affects undergraduate education.

Even with controls for SES, demographics, and SAT scores, liberal students report higher college grades and closer relationships with faculty. Nevertheless, conservative students consistently show higher levels …

The Politics Of School Discipline: A Quantitative Analysis Of The Legalization And Use Of Corporal Punishment In The United States, Kaitlin Anderson

Independent of median household income, educational attainment, state demographics, and the share of Evangelical Protestants, states with more Republican votes are more likely to legalize school …

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

In the first part of the 21^st century, community colleges in the U.S. have embraced exclusively online coursework as a major part of their curriculum. Yet students at community colleges face a variety of impediments--including socioeconomic and cultural barriers--to their success in online coursework, and research at community colleges has revealed that success in those online courses has varied widely for the diverse student populations of those colleges. Such selective success of students lends itself to inquiry regarding why online learning has become such a prominent educational arrangement at community colleges. A review of the history and policy context …
