Group Dynamic Assessment Of Elementary School Spanish Learners Studying Interrogative Use And Formation, Kristin Davin

Education: School of Education Faculty Publications and Other Works

Although researchers have begun to explore the implementation of dynamic assessment (DA) with foreign language learners, few of these studies have occurred in the language classroom. An important difference between contexts of DA research and the classroom concerns the feasibility of one-to-one interactions. That is, while DA has often been framed as dyadic in nature, classroom settings rarely afford this possibility. The present study follows Poehner's (2009) proposal of group DA (G-DA), wherein classroom activities exceed the current capabilities of all learners and the teacher endeavors to provide mediation, aimed at the class as a collective, in order to diagnose …

Collaborating With A Killer: The Unique Perspective Of Prison Life From A Man On Death Row, Gordon A. Crews, Angela D. Crews

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

This presentation describes the process and difficulties of developing a collaborative working relationship with Stephen C. Stanko, a man currently serving two death sentences in South Carolina for the murders of two people and the sexual assault and attempted murder of a third. Mr. Stanko and Dr. Gordon Crews first worked together on a book from 2000-2004 when Stanko was serving a 10-year sentence for kidnapping and assault with intent to kill. In April 2005, only 8 months after Stanko was released from that sentence, he committed the crimes for which he is currently facing death. Since then, the Crews’ …

Mobile Modeling: Using And Creating Ipad And Ipod Apps To Shape Students With Disabilities, Carolyn Wicks, Amanda J. Rockinson-Szapkiw, Justin M. Tucker

Faculty Publications and Presentations

Modeling is a technique that is often used to teach new skills to students with disabilities. Modeling is effective for teaching communication, social, and functional living skills to students with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disorders (Werts, Caldwell, & Wolery, 1996). Video modeling and audio prompts can be as effective as live modeling (Murzynski & Bourret, 2007; Rehfeldt, Dahman, Young, Cherry, & Davis, 2003). In fact, some researchers have suggested that video modeling results in more rapid acquisition of skills than live modeling and may even be more generalizable across environments (Charlop & Milstein ,1989). With the introduction of mobile devises, …

School of Communication: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Outdoor advertising visuals from Skopje, Macedonia are analyzed in a content analysis. Images were photographed in the most heavily traveled areas of the city to secure a snapshot of culture and to analyze western influence. Media and linguistic imperialism, globalization and glocalization, along with advertising and communication strategies, are used to frame the investigation. Findings show that media companies are the leading advertisers, along with banks and entertainment. The majority of ads employed some form of English, although Macedonian and Cyrillic writing were also used. The images revealed strategic use of language and symbols, depending on the product category, business …

Beyond Faculty Publications And Etds, Patricia Wilson, Wayne Lewis

Key to Unlocking Scholarship: Institutional Repositories

For the most part new institutional repositories start out with little content.

One of those partnerships produced a new journal, Kentucky Journal of Higher Education Policy and Practice. Wayne Lewis will speak to the "Editor's" perspective of why publish in an institutional repository, the perspective of the information creator and more. In addition there are endless possibilities of different types of scholarship that can be deposited in IR's--Pat will highlight …

Pay No Attention To That Repository Behind The Curtain: Focusing On Services, Sarah L. Shreeves

Key to Unlocking Scholarship: Institutional Repositories

Over the last 10 years, digital repositories of all sorts have become a common feature in research libraries and consortia. Such repositories allow libraries to collect, manage, preserve, and provide access to an enormous range of content: institutional research and scholarship, university and library electronic records, digitized and born-digital archival and special collections, and digitized and born-digital books and journals. For the most part, the repository itself—the infrastructure where libraries put this content—has been the focus of attention. More recently, however, the repository itself has begun to shift to the background, to truly serve as infrastructure, while the services that …
