Diving Into An Issue And Dragonflying On The Surface: Two Contrastive Discursive Patterns Of Class Discussions, Wen Ma Jan 2009

Diving Into An Issue And Dragonflying On The Surface: Two Contrastive Discursive Patterns Of Class Discussions, Wen Ma

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

While a discussion-based instructional approach is often employed by classroom teachers and university professors for teaching English, literature and varied content areas, there are few studies that have focused on how intellectually sophisticated doctoral students participate in class discussions to acquire discipline-specific content and what their discussions look like. This case study examined the discursive features of discussions in a doctoral seminar on qualitative research methods for education. Two types of dialogic engagement were identified: diving into an issue and dragonflying on the surface. These findings may help professors and advanced learners tap the potential of whole class and small …


Concerns Of Teacher Candidates In An Early Field Experience, Sau Hou Chang Jan 2009

Concerns Of Teacher Candidates In An Early Field Experience, Sau Hou Chang

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The present study examined the concerns of teacher candidates in an early field experience. Thirty-five teacher candidates completed the Teacher Concerns Checklist (TCC, Fuller & Borich, 2000) at the beginning, middle and end of their early field experiences. Results showed that teacher candidates ranked impact as the highest concern, self as the second concern, and task as the least concern. The ranking of concerns remained the same across different developmental points of the field experience. The present study suggested that concerns were related to the nature of the field experience, but not to the developmental points of the field experience. …


Our Experience: The Voices Of Instructors Teaching A Course On Families, Azure Dee Smiley Jan 2009

Our Experience: The Voices Of Instructors Teaching A Course On Families, Azure Dee Smiley

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Preparing "highly qualified" special educators that can effectively partner with the parents of students with disabilities is proving to be a daunting task, though widely acknowledged as essential in special education. This descriptive study examines the experience of instructors co-teaching a special education course focused on family-professional partnerships. The qualitative data shared focuses on the experiences of the university instructors. Findings illustrate instructor’s views of teaching a families course, thoughts on delivery methods, as well as perceptions of the impact of such a course on the conceptual change of teachers in regards to families of students with special needs. Implications …

Moody Blues: The Social Web, Tagging, And Nontextual Discovery Tools For Music, Susannah Cleveland, Gwen Evans Dec 2008

Moody Blues: The Social Web, Tagging, And Nontextual Discovery Tools For Music, Susannah Cleveland, Gwen Evans

University Libraries Faculty Publications

A common thread in discussions about the Next Generation Catalog is that it should incorporate features beyond the mere textual, one-way presentation of data. At the same time, traditional textual description of music materials often prohibits effective use of the catalog by specialists and nonspecialists alike. Librarians at Bowling Green State University have developed the HueTunes project to explore already established connections between music, color, and emotion, and incorporate those connections into a nontextual discovery tool that could enhance interdisciplinary as well as specialist use of the catalog.

To Travel Or To Compete? Motivations Of Masters Swimmers, Nancy M. Hritz, William D. Ramos Nov 2008

To Travel Or To Compete? Motivations Of Masters Swimmers, Nancy M. Hritz, William D. Ramos

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

The underlying motivations behind participating in sports event such as a swim meet are complex and varied especially for adult participants. These motivations may be related to the thrill of the competition, or the excitement of traveling to a new pool or aquatic facility. Investigation of motivations behind participation can enable aquatic facility managers to create memorable experiences that boost participation and encourage repeat visitors that have social and economic benefits for the aquatic facility and event. We motivations of Masters swimmers using the Participant Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ) modified for swimmers and the Travel Career Ladder (TCL) at the 2006 …


Effectiveness Of A Targeted, Peer-Driven Skin Cancer Prevention Program For Lifeguards, Dawn Michelle Hall, Tom Elliott, Eric Nehl, Karen Glanz Nov 2008

Effectiveness Of A Targeted, Peer-Driven Skin Cancer Prevention Program For Lifeguards, Dawn Michelle Hall, Tom Elliott, Eric Nehl, Karen Glanz

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Lifeguards working at outdoor pools typically receive high amounts of sun exposure, increasing their risk for developing skin cancer. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a targeted, peer-driven intervention for skin cancer prevention among lifeguards. Nine pools received the targeted intervention, Pool Cool Plus, and five received the standard Pool Cool prevention program. Lifeguards completed surveys at the beginning and end of the summer. Lifeguards in both the targeted intervention and standard program groups increased their sun safety practices and reported more sun-safe pool policies and environments. Sunburn rates decreased among lifeguards participating in Pool Cool Plus. Future research should …


Aquatic Perceived Competence Analysis In Children: Development And Preliminary Validation Of A Pictorial Scale, Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia, Luis Miguel Ruiz Pérez Nov 2008

Aquatic Perceived Competence Analysis In Children: Development And Preliminary Validation Of A Pictorial Scale, Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia, Luis Miguel Ruiz Pérez

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale for measuring perceived motor of children in the water (also known as aquatic perceived competence). One hundred boys and girls four and five years old took part in the study and were given a picture questionnaire featuring a series of images of children engaged in a variety of water tasks. Factor analyses were conducted to test whether the ten-item scale is made up of two major dimensions, the first of them referring to willingness (predisposition or attitudes of the children towards water) and the second to the perceived …
