International Perspective Of Aquatic Instructors’ Attitudes Toward Teaching Swimming To Children With Disabilities, Phillip Conatser Jan 2008

International Perspective Of Aquatic Instructors’ Attitudes Toward Teaching Swimming To Children With Disabilities, Phillip Conatser

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes of aquatic instructors (N = 23) toward teaching swimming to children with mild and severe disabilities in an inclusive setting. Aquatic instructors from 23 cities in 7 countries participated in the study. Data were collected by mail survey using the Aquatic Instructors Attitudes Toward Teaching Swimming to Individuals With Disabilities questionnaire (Conatser, Block, & Lapore, 2000). A correlated t test showed that aquatic instructors were significantly more favorable toward teaching aquatics to children with mild disabilities than children with severe disabilities. Instructors agreed they should include children with mild disabilities and …


Data Clustering For Fitting Parameters Of A Markov Chain Model Of Multi-Game Playoff Series, Christopher M. Rump Jan 2008

Data Clustering For Fitting Parameters Of A Markov Chain Model Of Multi-Game Playoff Series, Christopher M. Rump

Applied Statistics and Operations Research Faculty Publications

We propose a Markov chain model of a best-of-7 game playoff series that involves game-togame dependence on the current status of the series. To create a relatively parsimonious model, we seek to group transition probabilities of the Markov chain into clusters of similar game-winning frequency. To do so, we formulate a binary optimization problem to minimize several measures of cluster dissimilarity. We apply these techniques on Major League Baseball (MLB) data and test the goodness of fit to historical playoff outcomes. These state-dependent Markov models improve significantly on probability models based solely on home-away game dependence. It turns out that …


Motivations And Reasons For Exercising In Water: Gender And Age Differences In A Sample Of Spanish Exercisers, Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia, Celestina Martínez Galindo, Pablo Marcos Pardo Jan 2008

Motivations And Reasons For Exercising In Water: Gender And Age Differences In A Sample Of Spanish Exercisers, Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia, Celestina Martínez Galindo, Pablo Marcos Pardo

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

The purposes of this study were, on the one hand, to relate the reasons for exercising with self-determination and, on the other, to check gender and age differences with a sample of 311 exercisers in water. The data were collected using the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire–2 and Motives for Physical Activities Measure–Revised. A positive and significant correlation was seen between self-determination and the reasons for exercise, with self-determination predicting 22% by enjoyment and 8% by fitness/health reasons. Similarly, the multivariate analysis showed that the women had more self-determination than the men and that they also rated fitness/health, social, enjoyment, …


Confronting The Insider-Outsider Polemic In Conducting Research With Diasporic Communities: Towards A Community-Based Approach, Bruce A. Collet Jan 2008

Confronting The Insider-Outsider Polemic In Conducting Research With Diasporic Communities: Towards A Community-Based Approach, Bruce A. Collet

School of Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy Faculty Publications

Researchers focusing on diasporic contexts face the difficult task of wearing their “academic hats” while at the same time building meaningful relationships with immigrant communities. This is no more apparent (and important) than with “non-community” (i.e. outsider) researchers. Here diasporic communities, having already experienced the trauma of forced migration, must see the academic researcher as one they can trust and who is invested in their long-term well being. In this paper I address methodological and philosophical concerns related to the insider-outsider researcher distinction and to conducting research as an “outsider.” The principle aims of the paper are to critically examine …

Choosing To Serve? An Exploration Of Student Self-Selection Of Service Learning Projects, Paula S. Weber, Kenneth R. Schneider, James E. Weber Jan 2008

Choosing To Serve? An Exploration Of Student Self-Selection Of Service Learning Projects, Paula S. Weber, Kenneth R. Schneider, James E. Weber

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This study explores student selection of service learning projects in lieu of traditional library research projects. One hundred fifty-four strategic management students completed surveys exploring their tolerance of ambiguity, time pressure, attitudes toward civic participation, self-efficacy toward service, political conservatism, and the role business school’s should play in civic education. The study examined their responses to survey questions in light of their project selection. The study identified factors important for faculty in designing and developing service learning projects as well as key areas for future research.

Recruitment And Retention Of Entry-Level Staff In Housing And Residence Life: A Report On Activities Supported By The Acuho-I Commissioned Research Program, Maureen E. Wilson Jan 2008

Recruitment And Retention Of Entry-Level Staff In Housing And Residence Life: A Report On Activities Supported By The Acuho-I Commissioned Research Program, Maureen E. Wilson

Higher Education and Student Affairs Faculty Publications

For the past several years, many housing and residence life operations have had fewer candidates apply for the entry-level resident director position. Yet, although these institutions have experienced a shortfall in candidates, a number of housing operations continue to receive a large number of interested applicants through their recruitment efforts and they are able to retain these staff for several years. In 2004, a team of researchers was awarded an ACUHO-I Commissioned Research grant to study several issues central to recruitment and retention of entry-level staff. The researchers completed six studies that are described in this report.

Bouncing Back After Bullying: The Resiliency Of Female Victims Of Relational Aggression, Laura R. Hammel Jan 2008

Bouncing Back After Bullying: The Resiliency Of Female Victims Of Relational Aggression, Laura R. Hammel

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Although strides recently have been made to facilitate the understanding of relational aggression and its consequences, one significant limitation has been the lack of research on long-term impact. Through a grounded theory approach, this study examines how resiliency behaviors exhibited by victims of relational aggression during their adolescent years aid in the development of trusting adult friendships.


Teacher Efficacy And Career Indecision Among Pre-Service Teachers: A Model Of Direct And Indirect Effects, Mary Beth Sloane, Mary D. Hancock Jan 2008

Teacher Efficacy And Career Indecision Among Pre-Service Teachers: A Model Of Direct And Indirect Effects, Mary Beth Sloane, Mary D. Hancock

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The present study investigates, through path analytic techniques, the influence of teacher efficacy on the career indecision of pre-service teachers. The sample consists of 305 students enrolled in Teacher Education programs at two southeastern universities. Results indicate that general teacher efficacy and career self-efficacy have significant direct effects on career indecision. Career self-efficacy mediates significant indirect effects for both general and personal teacher efficacy.


Understanding School Board Members' Perceptions Of Superintendents' Leader Behaviors, John V. Richard, Sharon D. Kruse Jan 2008

Understanding School Board Members' Perceptions Of Superintendents' Leader Behaviors, John V. Richard, Sharon D. Kruse

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The study of school leadership has been a topic of considerable investigation. Primarily, this literature has focused on the leadership of principals and superintendents. Although school boards work hand in hand with school leaders concerning the decision making functions of district business, a literature base specifically focused on school board members and their perceptions of school superintendents' leadership behavior is lacking. This paper provides a framework for understanding school board members’ perceptions and suggests that school board members’ views of superintendents' leadership behaviors may be influenced by demographic factors including years of experience and gender of board members.

The Impact Of The Collective Efficacy Of A School Community On Individual Professional Development Outcomes, Cynthia H. Geer, Julie Q. Morrison Jan 2008

The Impact Of The Collective Efficacy Of A School Community On Individual Professional Development Outcomes, Cynthia H. Geer, Julie Q. Morrison

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

In the past decade, leading contributors in the areas of educational change and staff development have acknowledged that successes attained with individual aspects of professional development can be stifled, halted, or essentially canceled by seemingly immutable factors in the organization’s culture. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the collective efficacy of science teachers within a school community on the individual outcomes for science teachers participating in a professional development program. The findings suggest that teachers participating in the program from schools with high levels of collective efficacy demonstrated gains in science teaching self-efficacy that were …
