Socializing With The Out-Group: Testing The Contact Hypothesis Among School Students In Bosnia And Herzegovina, Matthew Thomas Becker Dec 2017

Socializing With The Out-Group: Testing The Contact Hypothesis Among School Students In Bosnia And Herzegovina, Matthew Thomas Becker

Faculty and Student Publications

The purpose of this article is to test the contact hypothesis among self-identifying Bosniak, Croat, Serb, and Bosnian high school seniors in Bosnia and Herzegovina, using the Other-Group Orientation Scale (Roberts et al., 1999). This article finds that attending a ‘non-appropriate’ ethnic school statistically increases tolerance of out-group members, which conforms to the predictions of the contact hypothesis, originally put forth by Allport (1958). This field research also found that secondary schools are largely homogenous in the country, thus preventing high levels of cross-ethnic contact in schools, which was expected. This article represents the first post-war, countrywide quantitative testing of …

The Common Core And Its Implications For The Temporal Pace And Homework Assignments For Ap Calculus, Louise Perkins Oct 2017

The Common Core And Its Implications For The Temporal Pace And Homework Assignments For Ap Calculus, Louise Perkins

Journal of Contemporary Research in Education

We collect and combine two types of assessment data for an AP Calculus course, standardized testing and student feedback. This data informs us, both directly and indirectly, about the efficacy of the existing pre-calculus high school curriculum. We apply this information to an analysis of the common core curriculum to which the school is currently transitioning. The assessment analysis is designed to focus the class examples and homework assignments in pre-requisite courses to strengthen concepts needed during the AP Calculus class, and to assist teachers in planning concepts to re-teach in follow on classes. More broadly, our approach is a …


Understanding The Role Of The Common Core State Standards For Mathematics In Mathematics Methods And Mathematics Content Courses For Prospective Teachers, Sarah Ives, Anne Marie Marshall, Emerald Shee Oct 2017

Understanding The Role Of The Common Core State Standards For Mathematics In Mathematics Methods And Mathematics Content Courses For Prospective Teachers, Sarah Ives, Anne Marie Marshall, Emerald Shee

Journal of Contemporary Research in Education

The reform efforts brought about by the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) necessitate inquiry into how these standards are (or are not) being addressed in teacher preparation courses. This study examines the extent that the CCSSM are emphasized in mathematics content and mathematics methods courses for prospective teachers. We implemented a web-based survey and follow-up interviews of faculty from institutions across the nation. Results indicate a moderate level of variability in opportunities that prospective teachers have to learn about the CCSSM. Additionally, results show that mathematics teacher educators have changed their courses to include discussions around the CCSSM …


Being Nomadic In A Neo World, C. Steven Page, Rebecca G. Harper Oct 2017

Being Nomadic In A Neo World, C. Steven Page, Rebecca G. Harper

Journal of Contemporary Research in Education

Teachers are often classified into groups based on performance, identity, and through the use of metaphors. This article utilizes a post structuralist lens to build on past research by posing the classification of teachers into three personas: the nematode, neo, and nomad. These personas are not always chosen by the teacher, but instead are reactions to environments, colleagues and administrators, and education mandates. Standardization and accountability, which are forced on education by neoliberal policies, affect teachers’ identities in negative ways and often cause them to be the type of teacher they never desired to be to their students. Utilizing Deleuze’s …


From Oral To Written Language: Scaffolding Literacy Development In A Kindergarten Classroom, Cynthia Leung Oct 2017

From Oral To Written Language: Scaffolding Literacy Development In A Kindergarten Classroom, Cynthia Leung

Journal of Contemporary Research in Education

The purpose of the present study was to explore how an experienced kindergarten teacher used oral language to scaffold her students in their development of written language skills. The research design was a yearlong qualitative case study that employed prolonged engagement, persistent observation, and triangulation. Data sources included participant observation, fieldnotes, audio and video recording of classroom literacy events, informal interviews with the teacher and students, photographs, and a collection of students’ drawings/writings. This article provides examples of read-aloud and writing events where the classroom teacher made connections between oral and written language or re-accented the students’ oral productions into …

The Power Of Differentiated Learning In Higher Education Stem, Brenda Hutton-Prager Oct 2017

The Power Of Differentiated Learning In Higher Education Stem, Brenda Hutton-Prager

Journal of Contemporary Research in Education

The quality of education is a necessary input in utilizing the “power of higher education to transform lives, communities and the world”, words spoken by Chancellor Dr. Jeffrey Vitter at his inauguration speech at the University of Mississippi. Despite the many advances in technology and teaching methodology, traditional lecture-delivery courses still dominate. Lives, communities and the world truly are transformed as a result of higher education, as indicated by world statistics linking a country’s education quality with international competitiveness. However, this transformation could be even greater if additional effort was put into ‘transforming’ the higher education system, relying on innovative …


Investigating The Gender Pronoun Gap In Wikipedia, Mehrdad Yazdani Sep 2017

Investigating The Gender Pronoun Gap In Wikipedia, Mehrdad Yazdani

WikiStudies

In recent years there have been many studies investigating gender biases in the content and editorial process ofWikipedia. In addition to creating a distorted account of knowledge, biases in Wikipedia and similar corpora have especially harmful downstream eects as they are often used in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applications. As a result, many of the algorithms that are deployed in production “learn" the same biases inherent in the data that they churned. It is the therefore increasingly important to develop quantitative metrics to measure bias. In this study we propose a simple metric, the Gendered Pronoun Gap, that measures …
