Thinking Outside The Black Box: A Theoretical Evaluation Of Adult Learning And The Nvq Pathway To Interpreter Qualification, Brett A. Best Nov 2016

Thinking Outside The Black Box: A Theoretical Evaluation Of Adult Learning And The Nvq Pathway To Interpreter Qualification, Brett A. Best

International Journal of Interpreter Education

This article utilizes two popular theories of adult learning as analytical lenses to evaluate the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) process of accrediting British Sign Language (BSL)/English interpreters in the United Kingdom. Although an NVQ is an assessment, learning opportunities are inherent in the assessment process and in the training which typically precedes it. Behaviorist and constructivist theoretical orientations are applied in this analysis as both are applicable and relevant to the NVQ process. The Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Sign Language Interpreting framework exemplifies a behaviorist orientation, although it also blends in elements of constructivism. It is suggested that training …

Global Explorers Journaling And Reflection Initiative, John Bennion, Mat Duerden, Anne Whitehouse Oct 2016

Global Explorers Journaling And Reflection Initiative, John Bennion, Mat Duerden, Anne Whitehouse

Journal of Youth Development

Research suggests that journaling will increase reflection and improve program outcomes (Bain, et al, 1999; Duerden, et al, 2012) This study involved a partnership with a non-profit, Global Explorers (GEx), which provides international immersion experiences for youth. Their programs are designed to teach youth participants principles of leadership, environmental awareness, service, and science. This study, which tested whether teaching journaling techniques to youth program facilitators would have a positive impact on participant outcomes, addressed the following hypotheses: 1) Greater training in reflective thinking among participants would be associated with higher outcome scores, and 2) Participants in the intervention group (facilitators …

Ecology Of Megacopta Cribraria (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) And Implications For Management On Soybean, Francesca Louise Stubbins Aug 2016

Ecology Of Megacopta Cribraria (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) And Implications For Management On Soybean, Francesca Louise Stubbins

All Dissertations

Megacopta cribraria (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) has spread through thirteen states and the District of Columbia since accidental introduction into the United States in 2009. The potential impacts to soybean production necessitated research into the ecology and management of the plataspid in its new invasive range. A two year study in South Carolina using sweep-net and beat-cloth sampling generated sampling plans for M. cribraria population estimates and sequential sampling plans for pest management decision making. At all adult and nymph densities fewer sweep net samples were required for population estimations compared with the number of beat cloth samples. Sequential sampling reduced …


An Examination Of International Teachers' Pedagogical Adaption To U.S. Secondary Mathematics Classes, Dennis A. Kombe Aug 2016

An Examination Of International Teachers' Pedagogical Adaption To U.S. Secondary Mathematics Classes, Dennis A. Kombe

All Dissertations

Since the early 1990s, there has been a considerable uptick in the recruitment of international teachers to the U.S. to teach subject areas that experience perennial teacher shortages, including mathematics, science, special education, and languages, in hard-to-staff, high needs urban or rural K-12 schools. However, research is only starting to emerge that considers the social and pedagogical transition processes of these teachers. This study examines how international secondary mathematics teachers negotiate dialectics, and tensions, between their perceptions of effective mathematics teaching practices in their home contexts as compared to expectations in U.S. public schools, and relatedly, how international teachers’, and …


Algebraic Geometry Arising From Discrete Models Of Gene Regulatory Networks, Qijun He Aug 2016

Algebraic Geometry Arising From Discrete Models Of Gene Regulatory Networks, Qijun He

All Dissertations

Discrete models of gene regulatory networks have gained popularity in computational systems biology over the last dozen years. However, not all discrete network models reflect the behaviors of real biological systems. In this work, we focus on two model selection methods and algebraic geometry arising from these model selection methods. The first model selection method involves biologically relevant functions. We begin by introducing k-canalizing functions, a generalization of nested canalizing functions. We extend results on nested canalizing functions and derived a unique extended monomial form of arbitrary Boolean functions. This gives us a stratification of the set of n-variable Boolean …


An Analysis Of Three Trio Student Support Services Projects At Public Two-Year Institutions In South Carolina, Caroline W. Canty Aug 2016

An Analysis Of Three Trio Student Support Services Projects At Public Two-Year Institutions In South Carolina, Caroline W. Canty

All Dissertations

In recent years, TRIO Programs have been targeted for budget cuts. The development of more data-based arguments is needed to defend these programs. Arguments against the continuation of TRIO programs stem from concerns about the program’s relevancy and success. Specifically, Student Support Services (SSS) operates at higher education institutions to support the college or university’s efforts with retention and graduation. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the services provided by TRIO SSS lead to successful outcomes for the participants served. A content analysis was conducted on artifacts from three distinct Student Support Services projects located in the …


Burnout Among Pastors In Local Church Ministry In Relation To Pastor, Congregation Member, And Church Organizational Outcomes, Crystal Mary Burnette Aug 2016

Burnout Among Pastors In Local Church Ministry In Relation To Pastor, Congregation Member, And Church Organizational Outcomes, Crystal Mary Burnette

All Dissertations

Based on the empirical literature, popular press, and personal testimonies, burnout is a reality for many pastors (Doolittle, 2010; Randall, 2013). Burnout and exhaustion among pastors pose a threat to local church health and ministry vitality (Miner, Dowson, & Sterland, 2010). Existing research has focused almost exclusively on individual and job-related variables in an effort to predict pastor job burnout. The current dissertation addressed the lack of understanding regarding pastor job burnout as it relates to pastor health, congregation member, and church organizational outcomes. Specifically, the current dissertation examined the relationships between pastor job burnout and a) pastor physical and …
