Implications Of A Behavioral Weight Loss Program For Obese, Sedentary Women: A Focus On Mood Enhancement And Exercise Enjoyment, Bonnie G. Berger, Lynn A. Darby, David R. Owen, Robert Albert Carels Jan 2010

Implications Of A Behavioral Weight Loss Program For Obese, Sedentary Women: A Focus On Mood Enhancement And Exercise Enjoyment, Bonnie G. Berger, Lynn A. Darby, David R. Owen, Robert Albert Carels

Psychology Faculty Publications

The benefits of a 6-month behavioral weight loss program were investigated by examining mood changes after a graded exercise test (GXT), changes in exercise enjoyment, and the relation of mood and enjoyment to program success. Obese, sedentary, postmenopausal women completed a demographic questionnaire, and physical and psychological measures. Women who completed the program (n = 25) significantly decreased their body weight and body mass index and reported significantly less tension and confusion post-GXT when measured both at the beginning and end of the program. Although their exercise enjoyment increased, their exercise-related mood changes appeared to be independent of enjoyment. Finally, …


Sites Of Refuge: Refugees, Religiosity, And Public Schools In The United States, Bruce A. Collet Jan 2010

Sites Of Refuge: Refugees, Religiosity, And Public Schools In The United States, Bruce A. Collet

School of Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy Faculty Publications

In this article the author examines public schools in the United States as sites where immigrants and refugees express their religious identities as part of their integration processes. In particular, the author examines the schools as “sites of refuge” for refugee students. Although public schools provide refugees with opportunity for study without regard to race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion (areas of potential persecution under the 1951 UN Convention Regarding the Status of Refugees), owing to their liberal and secular nature they necessarily put constraints on the degree to which students may exercise their …

Adolescent Girl Writers: "I Can Be Good At It, If I Like It", Hannah H. Chai Jan 2010

Adolescent Girl Writers: "I Can Be Good At It, If I Like It", Hannah H. Chai

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

A common perception that girls are good at writing may lead educators to overlook girls. This study examined the writing engagement of three sixth grade girls and how their writing self-perception affected their attitudes in a writing classroom. Using a qualitative case study methodology, three themes emerged: the importance of writing tasks, the influence of reading interests on writing, and time as an external factor. Although these themes are important, the participants of this study alluded to a greater underlying factor; that of writing volition, i.e., desire to write. Volition was the key in engaging the girls as writers.

An Examination Of Collaborative Learning Assessment Through Dialogue (Clad) In Traditional And Hybrid Human Development Courses, Wanda C. Mccarthy, Peter J. Green, Trey Fitch Jan 2010

An Examination Of Collaborative Learning Assessment Through Dialogue (Clad) In Traditional And Hybrid Human Development Courses, Wanda C. Mccarthy, Peter J. Green, Trey Fitch

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This investigation assessed the effectiveness of using Collaborative Learning Assessment through Dialogue (CLAD) (Fitch & Hulgin, 2007) with students in undergraduate human development courses. The key parts of CLAD are student collaboration, active learning, and altering the role of the instructor to a guide who enhances learning opportunities. The effectiveness of this approach was explored in both hybrid formats where classes reduce face-to-face meeting time by incorporating on-line activities and traditional course formats, such as lecture. A sample of 169 students completed courses in human development either using CLAD or using traditional techniques that provided more direct instruction. In addition, …


Faculty Reward Systems And Academic Capitalism: Business Faculty Income Inside And Outside The Institution, Shan Lin Jan 2010

Faculty Reward Systems And Academic Capitalism: Business Faculty Income Inside And Outside The Institution, Shan Lin

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Market forces have driven American higher education from a public good regime to an academic capitalist regime. To examine how this regime shift influences the quality of business education in the US, we use field of specialty, institutional characteristics, demographics, and personal achievements to predict faculty income from inside and outside the institution of employment. We find that inside and outside incomes conflict with each other in that variables measuring faculty quality are positively related to inside income, but negatively related to outside income. This implies that the regime shift brings potential damage to the quality of American business education …


Racial/Ethnic Socialization Messages, Social Support, And Personal Efficacy Among Adolescents, Francesca Pernice-Duca, Delila Owens Jan 2010

Racial/Ethnic Socialization Messages, Social Support, And Personal Efficacy Among Adolescents, Francesca Pernice-Duca, Delila Owens

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Associations between ethnic socialization and a sense of personal efficacy were explored among African- American, Hispanic, and Caucasian adolescents. We found that those who reported greater intimacy with their mothers were more likely to perceive them as sources of race-related socialization messages. Consisting of primarily African-American and Latino youths, members of this group were encouraged by their mothers to demonstrate greater racial and ethnic pride. In contrast, Caucasian youths were more likely to see their mothers as purveyors of tolerance and cooperation between diverse populations. A separate analysis involving the African-American subset revealed that adolescents who received messages imparting strong …


What Could An Executive Coach Do For An Association Football Manager? A Commentary, Margaret M. Hopkins, Deborah A. O'Neil, Diana Billimoria Jan 2010

What Could An Executive Coach Do For An Association Football Manager? A Commentary, Margaret M. Hopkins, Deborah A. O'Neil, Diana Billimoria

Management Faculty Publications

The lead article in this volume highlights several critical aspects of effective leadership in modern times. First, the importance of leadership as an interpersonal, relationship-building endeavor cannot be overstated. Second, the exemplary leader is a caring individual who demonstrates understanding and empathy toward others. For our commentary, we draw upon a well-developed stream of literature germane to these two core issues presented in the article. We compare and contrast the feminine and masculine aspects of leadership. In particular, we discuss the contemporary feminization of leadership and describe several integral attributes of feminine leadership – a communal orientation, transformational behaviors, emotional …

Exit Strategy: An Exploration Of Late-Stage Police Crime, Philip M. Stinson, John Liederbach, Tina L. Freiburger Jan 2010

Exit Strategy: An Exploration Of Late-Stage Police Crime, Philip M. Stinson, John Liederbach, Tina L. Freiburger

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

There are no exhaustive statistics available on the crimes committed by law enforcement officers, and only a small number of studies provide specific data on police crimes. The purpose of the current study is to examine the character of police arrests known to the media. Cases were identified through a content analysis of news coverage using the internet-based GoogleTM News search engine and its Google News Alerts search tool. The study focuses on the crimes committed by experienced officers who are approaching retirement. The occurrence of these late-stage crimes presents a challenge to existing assumptions regarding the relationship between …

Factors Influencing Language-Learning Strategy Use Of English Learners In An Esl Context, Ngan Nguyen, Francis Godwyll Jan 2010

Factors Influencing Language-Learning Strategy Use Of English Learners In An Esl Context, Ngan Nguyen, Francis Godwyll

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This study employed the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), version 7.0 (ESL/EFL) developed by Oxford (1990) to examine differences in language-learning strategy use. It focused on how learner factors such as gender, age, nationality, and proficiency level influence the choice of language-learning strategies. The participants were 75 international students at Ohio University. The results showed that participants used social and metacognitive strategies at a high frequency level; meanwhile, affective and memory strategies were selected the least. Statistic significance was found in the choice of several strategies across the factors examined. Pedagogical implications were also discussed.

Cheating Perceptions And Prevalence Across Academic Settings, Kelly Honz, Kenneth A. Kiewra, Ya-Shu Yang Jan 2010

Cheating Perceptions And Prevalence Across Academic Settings, Kelly Honz, Kenneth A. Kiewra, Ya-Shu Yang

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This study investigated high school students’ perceptions of cheating and its prevalence. Students were administered the Academic Honesty Survey to determine their perceptions and prevalence of cheating across three academic settings: tests, homework, and report writing. Overall, students had traditional perceptions of what constitutes cheating. Despite these perceptions, most students cheated. In addition, cheating perceptions and prevalence varied across academic settings. Perceptions and prevalence declined going from test to homework to report writing settings. Three other interesting patterns emerged. First, cheating was tied to effort. Cheating actions that still required students to exert effort were viewed as less dishonest than …


Understanding The Diminishing Academic Advantage Of Full-Day Kindergarten, Randall S. Davies, Susan Cress Jan 2010

Understanding The Diminishing Academic Advantage Of Full-Day Kindergarten, Randall S. Davies, Susan Cress

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Most people agree that young children benefit academically from attending kindergarten; however, some research suggests that any academic advantage attributed to attending full-day kindergarten compared to half-day programs will disappear as early as third grade. Based on the results of this study which looked at students in typical classroom settings, a likely explanation for this is that teachers often provide considerable remedial assistance to low achieving students. Once students meet benchmark expectations, instruction tends to broaden to other instructional objectives. We also found that in practice distinguishing between full- and half-day programs based solely on time in school is problematic. …


Keeping Native Languages In Esl Class: Accounting For The Role Beliefs Play Toward Mastery, Michael S. Yough, Ming Fang Jan 2010

Keeping Native Languages In Esl Class: Accounting For The Role Beliefs Play Toward Mastery, Michael S. Yough, Ming Fang

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Students’ native language is a valuable resource in the English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. Use of native languages may increase a student’s sense of efficacy for learning English by: (a) facilitating vocabulary acquisition, (b) aiding learners in comprehension, (c) encouraging self-regulation, (d) making routines and explanations clear so as to direct attention and free up working memory for tasks in English, (e) modeling communication in environments where students may be reluctant to initiate conversation, and (f) setting the tone in situations where students have come to view English as exceedingly difficult.


Single-Case Designs And Qualitative Methods: Applying A Mixed Methods Research Perspective, John H. Hitchcock, Bonnie K. Nastasi, Meredith Summerville Jan 2010

Single-Case Designs And Qualitative Methods: Applying A Mixed Methods Research Perspective, John H. Hitchcock, Bonnie K. Nastasi, Meredith Summerville

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The purpose of this conceptual paper is to describe a design that mixes single-case (sometimes referred to as single-subject) and qualitative methods, hereafter referred to as a single-case mixed methods design (SCD-MM). Minimal attention has been given to the topic of applying qualitative methods to SCD work in the literature. These two approaches potentially can be integrated using a mixed methods perspective to yield a powerful approach for understanding localized causality and describing intervention application. The SCD-MM also can be used within the context of action research if the purpose of such work is to investigate a causal question.
