Calculator Provision As An Accommodation For The Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (Cfat), Joseph W. Berry

Personnel Assessment and Decisions

The impact of calculator provision on the reliability and validity of a version of the Canadian Forces Aptitude Test—Problem Solving subtest was investigated in order to inform testing accommodation policy. Two hundred and fifty-four Canadian Armed Forces recruits undergoing basic training participated in the experimental research design, which consisted of a calculator and a no-calculator condition. Results supported that the convergent validity of the test was maintained in the calculator condition, as indicated by similar validity coefficients with other measures of cognitive ability in the two conditions; however, several items showed increased correct responding, and there was mixed support for …

Does Background Type And Blurring Affect Performance Ratings In Video Interviews?, Christina Scott, Nicolas Roulin

Personnel Assessment and Decisions

Asynchronous video interviews (AVIs) have become increasingly popular as alternatives (or complements) to more traditional face-to-face interviews. Yet, AVI research has been largely focused on applicant reactions or behaviors, and we still know very little about what influences how applicants are rated. Importantly, because AVIs afford applicants the flexibility to record their responses from their homes, the background they choose could influence raters’ judgments. This study examines whether raters’ (N=276 Prolific respondents with prior hiring experience) initial impressions and final ratings differ if applicants record their AVIs from a home-office, a bedroom, or use background blurring settings, as …

Rural & Small-Town Police Crime: A National Scale Description And Comparison To Urban Places, Philip M. Stinson, John Liederbach, Adam Watkins, Chloe Wentzlof

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

Scholarship on police misconduct has almost exclusively focused on urban police working within large cities. This study utilizes media-based data to describe 2,592 arrests for crimes committed by rural and small-town police officers working in non-metropolitan counties across the United States. We compared these cases of police crime to those committed by officers working within more urbanized metropolitan counties. Findings demonstrate: 1) the dispersion of cases of police crime across a continuum of geographic places and types of police agencies including the most rural counties, and 2) significant differences between metropolitan and non-metropolitan cases of police crime including both type …

The main objective is to examine the specific narrative techniques, source selection modality, and editorial emphases used by these media to cover brutal regional conflict. The research clarifies the implications of different media representations on how and what an audience gathers from …

The Impact Of The Eu’S Global Gateway Agenda On Eu-Au Security Relations, Daniel Offei

International ResearchScape Journal

This study analyzes introduction of the Global Gateway Agenda (GGA) by the European Union (EU) in 2021, which represents a tactical transition by the EU to viewing, handling, and overcoming multi-dimensional security issues in Africa. The agenda is relevant because it provides a comprehensive paradigm of development programs encompassing international trade, digital connectivity, and cooperation instead of focusing only on military interventions. The fundamental shift in the paradigm occurred because of the recent increase in global threats to security, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, climate issues, and widespread civil unrest, significant challenges that tend to affect the …

Examining The Digital Divide In Education During Covid-19 From Teachers’ Perspectives, Elife Ceviker, Tuba Gezer

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in unprecedented school closures in education, leading online education to become “the new normal.” Concurrently, emergency online instruction further exacerbated what is known as the digital divide, one of the contributing factors to inequality of educational opportunities. The purpose of our research is to examine in what ways the digital divide influences teachers and students during COVID-19. A better understanding of teachers' perceptions of teaching online and the digital divide can offer more information for effective teaching during the pandemic. In this multi-method study, researchers collected data from 36 teachers through Likert scale questions …
