The Challenges To Distance Education In An Academic Social Science Discipline: The Case Of Political Science, Steffen Schmidt, Mack C. Shelley, Monty Van Wart, Jane Clayton, Erin Schreck Jun 2000

The Challenges To Distance Education In An Academic Social Science Discipline: The Case Of Political Science, Steffen Schmidt, Mack C. Shelley, Monty Van Wart, Jane Clayton, Erin Schreck

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This article reports the results from a national survey directed to the department chairs of political science to assess the current and future state of distance learning in that discipline. The insights of this research are relevant to all social science fields and offer important insights to other academic disciplines as well. Key findings of the study include the low utilization of distance learning courses, a low degree of importance currently attributed to distance learning and modest expectations of future growth, ambivalent acceptance of a future role for distance learning, the common use of Internet-related technologies, low levels of faculty …

An Interpretation Of The Significance Of Human Remains From The Caves Of The Southern Maya Lowlands, Sheryl A. Gibbs

KIP Theses and Dissertations

Caves in the Maya area have long been known to contain human remains. Unfortunately, very little has been offered in the way of interpretation. This analysis is aimed at shedding light on the questions surrounding the occurrence of human remains in caves of the Southern Maya lowlands.


Mathematics Achievement By Immigrant Children: A Comparison Of Five English-Speaking Countries, Gary G. Huang May 2000

Mathematics Achievement By Immigrant Children: A Comparison Of Five English-Speaking Countries, Gary G. Huang

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

In this study, I examined academic achievement of immigrant children in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, and New Zealand. Analyzing data from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), I gauged the performance gaps relating to the generation of immigration and the home language background. I found immigrant children's math and science achievement to be lower than the others only in England, the U.S., and Canada. Non-English language background was found in each country to relate to poor math and science learning and this disadvantage was stronger among native-born children—presumably children of indigenous groups—than among immigrant children. I …

The Influence Of Scale On School Performance: A Multi-Level Extension Of The Matthew Principle, Robert Bickel, Craig Howley May 2000

The Influence Of Scale On School Performance: A Multi-Level Extension Of The Matthew Principle, Robert Bickel, Craig Howley

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

In this study, we investigate the joint influence of school and district size on school performance among schools with eighth grades (n=367) and schools with eleventh grades in Georgia (n=298). Schools are the unit of analysis in this study because schools are increasingly the unit on which states fix the responsibility to be accountable. The methodology further develops investigations along the line of evidence suggesting that the influence of size is contingent on socioeconomic status (SES). All previous studies have used a single-level regression model (i.e., schools or districts). This study confronts the issue of cross-level interaction of SES and …

We Are Not Victims: Oral Histories Of Four Mexican-American Women, Carmen Melendez Maayan May 2000

We Are Not Victims: Oral Histories Of Four Mexican-American Women, Carmen Melendez Maayan

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This ethnographic inquiry focuses on the lives and work off our Mexican- American women who run a center in the Mexican migrant farmworker community in which they live. Through the center, they provide vital services to their community such medical care, immigration assistance, educational and community outreach programs. Via these women's oral histories, this ethnographic work seeks to broaden our understanding of women who are fully aware of their subordinated status in the dominant society yet are not passive victims. By listening to their own voices, we learn how they overcome personal adversity and challenge cultural ideologies. In the process, …


La Igualdad De Oportunidades En El Acceso A La Educación Superior: Una Perspectiva Socio-Familiar Para Galicia, Maria Jesús Freire Apr 2000

La Igualdad De Oportunidades En El Acceso A La Educación Superior: Una Perspectiva Socio-Familiar Para Galicia, Maria Jesús Freire

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This work analyzes equality of access to the university in Galicia (Spain) as it was influenced by the political decision to finance higher education at between 80% and 85% of its real cost. The composition of the student body with respect to the level of their parents' education is examined. The analysis confirms that in spite of the significant effort at public financing, the objective of equal access will not be reached.

Collegiate Grading Practices And The Gender Pay Gap, Alicia C. Dowd Jan 2000

Collegiate Grading Practices And The Gender Pay Gap, Alicia C. Dowd

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Extending research findings by R. Sabot and J. Wakeman-Linn (1991), this article presents a theoretical analysis showing that relatively low grading quantitative fields and high grading verbal fields create a disincentive for college women to invest in quantitative study. Pressures on grading practices are modeled using higher education production functions.

In this paper the author investigates, from a qualitative perspective, the problems associated with implementing educational innovations. He studies the recent case of the Basic Cycle reform in Uruguay. Based on the concepts of van der Vegt and Vandenberghe (1992), he analyzes the "functions guides" exercised by the director in order to be able to regulate the internal flow of the implementation. ...

Social Science Research Findings And Educational Policy Dilemmas: Some Additional Distinctions, Steven I. Miller, Marcel Fredericks Jan 2000

Social Science Research Findings And Educational Policy Dilemmas: Some Additional Distinctions, Steven I. Miller, Marcel Fredericks

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The article attempts to raise several distinctions regarding the presumed relationship of social science research findings to social policy making. The distinctions are made using Glymour's critique of the Bell Curve. An argument is made that (1) social science models and research findings are largely irrelevant to the actual concerns of policy makers and (2) what is relevant, but overlooked by Glymour, is how ideological factors mediate the process. The forms that ideological mediation may take are indicated.

America Y2k: The Obsolescence Of Educational Reforms, Shermon Dorn Jan 2000

America Y2k: The Obsolescence Of Educational Reforms, Shermon Dorn

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The passing of the deadline for fulfillment of the national education goals in the United States (the beginning of 2000) reflects the frequently hyperbolic statements of objectives and the manic pace of school reform efforts over the past two decades. The domination by schools of child and family life has combined with a longstanding reliance on schools to solve social problems to make school reform a politically opportune as well as visible issue. Thus, even if the phrasing of national education goals in the U.S. changes to reflect the passing of the nominal deadline, those pressures will remain.

Tourism, Globalization, And A Multi-Sited Approach To Fieldwork In Nepal , William R. Van De Berg Jan 2000

Tourism, Globalization, And A Multi-Sited Approach To Fieldwork In Nepal , William R. Van De Berg

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Social researchers must recognize that their field sites are not isolated entities that can be understood by way of an in-depth, single-site approach, but rather that field sites are nodes in a continuum of social, economic, and environmental relationships that are interdependent. An example of multi-sited research is provided using the river tourism industry in the Himalayan region of Nepal. The multi-sited approach enabled a more thorough analysis of this global industry, including an understanding of how rafting companies ran their operations and the ability to situate environmental and social impacts within issues that occur at multiple levels of analysis, …
