Homeschooling And The Redefinition Of Citizenship, A. Bruce Arai Sep 1999

Homeschooling And The Redefinition Of Citizenship, A. Bruce Arai

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… This paper reviews the research on homeschooling, as well as the major objections to it, and frames these debates within the broader issues of citizenship and citizenship education. The paper shows that homeschoolers are carving out a different but equally valid understanding of citizenship and that policies which encourage a diversity of understandings of good citizenship should form the basis citizenship education both for schools and homeschoolers.

Structural And Chemical Changes In Leaves Of Cecropia (Cecropiaceae) With Plant Age, September 1999, James J. Garnsey Sep 1999

Structural And Chemical Changes In Leaves Of Cecropia (Cecropiaceae) With Plant Age, September 1999, James J. Garnsey

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Many tropical plants show age-related morphological and chemical changes that are adaptive to a particular environment. Generally, leaves of young plants have drip tips and increased secondary compounds while leaves of mature plants lack drip tips and are tougher. Cecropia polyphlebia and Cecropia obtusifolia are common pioneer tree species in Monteverde, Costa Rica that exhibit morphological and chemical changes with age. Here, I study how water content, herbivory, toughness and concentration of alkaloids change in the leaves of Cecropia as the plants age. Leaves from young, medium and mature aged plants were collected from gaps near the Estación Biológica Monteverde …

The Quality Of Researchers' Searches Of The Eric Database, Scott Hertzberg, Lawrence Rudner Aug 1999

The Quality Of Researchers' Searches Of The Eric Database, Scott Hertzberg, Lawrence Rudner

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

During the last ten years, end-users of electronic databases have become progressively less dependent on librarians and other intermediaries. This is certainly the case with the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) Database, a resource once accessed by passing a paper query form to a librarian and now increasingly searched directly by end-users. This article empirically examines the search strategies currently being used by researchers and other groups. College professors and educational researchers appear to be doing a better job searching the database than other ERIC patrons. However, the study suggests that most end-users should be using much better search strategies.

Literacy, Technology, And Change: The Gates Of Hell, Janice R. Walker Aug 1999

Literacy, Technology, And Change: The Gates Of Hell, Janice R. Walker

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, I first briefly examine the history of technology as it impacts on literacy practices, and especially the history of resistance to technological developments in the humanities. In so doing, I also briefly examine some of the possible ideological underpinnings of this resistance, including looking at some of the arguments proposed to counter it. More specifically, I consider how literacy practices, pedagogical practices, and assessment and gatekeeping practices in the field of composition studies impact on and are impacted by the intersection of computer technologies and our field. Finally, I offer some suggestions for ways in which our …
