Disparities Between Indigenous And Non-Indigenous Educational Attainment: Exploring Factors Related To Low Average School Naplan Scores In The Northern Territory, Rachel Coleman May 2018

Disparities Between Indigenous And Non-Indigenous Educational Attainment: Exploring Factors Related To Low Average School Naplan Scores In The Northern Territory, Rachel Coleman

Master's Theses and Capstones

The Indigenous population is a small minority in most areas of Australia, except the Northern Territory where Indigenous people make up roughly a quarter of the population. Indigenous people have lower educational achievement when compared to non-Indigenous people in Australia, with almost half as many of Indigenous having completed Year 12 or equivalent as non-Indigenous in 2016. The focus of this study was to identify factors that may be influencing the lower educational attainment of Indigenous students. Factors related to increased Indigenous presence in a school were expected to predict lower educational attainment. Full or partial support for some of …


Can Schools Be Reformed By Reforming Assessment?: The Effects Of An Innovative Assessment And Accountability System On Student Achievement Outcomes, Carla Marie Evans May 2018

Can Schools Be Reformed By Reforming Assessment?: The Effects Of An Innovative Assessment And Accountability System On Student Achievement Outcomes, Carla Marie Evans

Doctoral Dissertations

The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 authorizes a pilot program that allows up to seven states to develop innovative assessment and accountability systems. Prior to the official pilot program launch, the U.S. Department of Education approved one pilot program—New Hampshire’s Performance Assessment of Competency Education (PACE). To implement the PACE pilot, the New Hampshire Department of Education received a 2-year waiver (2014-2016) from federal statutory requirements related to state annual achievement testing and was granted additional waivers for the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years. The purpose of this study is to investigate the average effect of the PACE pilot …


Lessoning Fiction: Modernist Crisis And The Pedagogy Of Form, Matthew Cheney May 2018

Lessoning Fiction: Modernist Crisis And The Pedagogy Of Form, Matthew Cheney

Doctoral Dissertations

Writers committed to Modernist ideas of artistic autonomy may find that commitment challenged during times of socio-political crisis. This dissertation explores three writers who developed a similar literary strategy at such times: they pushed fictionality toward and beyond its limits, but ultimately preserved that fictionality, revealing new value in fiction after challenging it. Virginia Woolf, Samuel R. Delany, and J. M. Coetzee shaped their writings at these moments to provide readers with an experience that I argue is congruent with the goals of critical pedagogy as espoused by Paulo Freire, bell hooks, and others. Such a reading experience avoids an …


Working Alliances: The Implications Of Person-Centered Theory For Student-Teacher Relationships And Learning, Adam Parker Cogbill May 2018

Working Alliances: The Implications Of Person-Centered Theory For Student-Teacher Relationships And Learning, Adam Parker Cogbill

Doctoral Dissertations

In this dissertation project, I interview four therapists and four writing teachers to learn if there were any significant similarities in differences in their approaches to dyadic relationships with students and clients. By dyadic, I mean what happens between individuals in a 1-on-1 setting when subjectivities collide. I was guided in my investigation by the core concepts of person-centered theory, which have heavily influenced the work of clinical therapists for the past half-century or more. These concepts are congruence, or whether one’s behaviors and speech match what one is feeling; empathy, the process of entering and becoming familiar with another’s …


Shipworms And The Making Of The American Coastline, Derek Lee Nelson May 2018

Shipworms And The Making Of The American Coastline, Derek Lee Nelson

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation tells the forgotten history of the American teredo epidemic. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, an assortment of native and invasive wood-boring marine organisms, known collectively as “teredo,” swept through the ports and harbors of the United States. Teredo’s penchant for wood, both for shelter and sustenance, made wharves and wooden ships easy targets. Because teredo enters timber as tiny juveniles, and grows to maturity beyond view, it was often detectable only after a wharf had collapsed or a ship had sunk. Teredo’s unpredictability grated on people so much so that the borer was rarely mentioned …


The Activity Of Becoming A Second-Career Teacher, Michael Hildebrandt May 2018

The Activity Of Becoming A Second-Career Teacher, Michael Hildebrandt

Doctoral Dissertations

This is a study of three second-career teachers’ experiences of self transformation and the processes of socialization and identity formation each undergoes during his or her first three to five years as a full-time teacher. Each narrative offers a means through which to explore how liminal identity is at play during the transition to a new career—an experience that reshapes the experiences and self-understandings of individuals in the process of becoming teachers. The narratives that emerge from in-depth interviews showcase individuals with multi-faceted lives who have engaged in a multitude of personal and professional activities throughout their life course and …


Improvements In Speech Of Children With Apraxia: The Efficacy Of A Treatment For Establishing Motor Program Organization (Tempo), Hilary Miller May 2018

Improvements In Speech Of Children With Apraxia: The Efficacy Of A Treatment For Establishing Motor Program Organization (Tempo), Hilary Miller

Master's Theses and Capstones

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder characterized by distorted phonemes, segmentation (increased segment and intersegment durations), and impaired production of lexical stress. This study investigated the efficacy of Treatment for Establishing Motor Program Organization (TEMPO) in nine participants (ages 5 to 8) using a delayed treatment group design. Children received four weeks of intervention for four days each week. Experimental probes were administered at baseline and post-treatment—both immediately and one month after treatment—for treated and untreated stimuli. Significant improvements in specific acoustic measures of segmentation and lexical stress were demonstrated following treatment for both the immediate …


Culturally Relevant Leisure Experiences As Predictors Of Intercultural Sensitivity Among Study Abroad Students, Samantha Powers May 2018

Culturally Relevant Leisure Experiences As Predictors Of Intercultural Sensitivity Among Study Abroad Students, Samantha Powers

Master's Theses and Capstones

Study abroad programs are promoted on the premise that they offer valuable cross-cultural experiences and provide students with desired 21st century skills including global awareness, cross-cultural communications, and intercultural sensitivity (IS); however, simply to send students abroad is not enough to ensure skill development. Rather, there is a need for intentional pedagogy. As Engle and Engle (2004) have suggested regarding IS, the most successful study abroad programs seem to include culturally relevant leisure within the host community. Moreover, the theoretical framework of Bennett’s Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity has suggested the importance of various culturally relevant leisure experiences in assisting …

Funding Business Development Services For Women Microentrepreneurs In The Philippines, Gina Occhipinti Apr 2018

Funding Business Development Services For Women Microentrepreneurs In The Philippines, Gina Occhipinti

Inquiry Journal 2018

After lending small sums of money to poor people in Bangladesh in the 1970s, economics professor Muhammad Yunus was onto a new way to finance the poor and fight poverty: through microfinance. Since then, many approaches have been taken to lend to those in poverty, help them save money, and help them start businesses. Microfinance organizations provide loans, business advisory services, marketing help, insurance, and more. Business development services especially complement loan assistance because they provide nonfinancial help essential to running a business, such as accounting skills, product development, supply chain management, and more. In 2017, I traveled to San …
