A Field-Based Introduction To Urban Education At The Middle School, Susan M. Brookhart Jan 1997

A Field-Based Introduction To Urban Education At The Middle School, Susan M. Brookhart

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Middle school teachers developed objectives and suggested activities for a pilot early field experience to introduce freshman teacher candidates to urban education at the middle school level. This paper presents these objectives and activities plus data about the effects of their use by 15 teachers and 22 freshmen; an additional 30 freshmen placed in a traditional (tutoring) early field experience formed a comparison group. Project freshmen demonstrated higher sense of personal teaching efficacy and flexibility among people in a multicultural setting. In their journals, project freshmen reported more awareness of the urban environment; however, comparison group freshmen were more likely …


Explorations Of Preservice Teachers’ Learning Strategy Use, M. Kay Alderman, Loretta Wilkinson Jan 1997

Explorations Of Preservice Teachers’ Learning Strategy Use, M. Kay Alderman, Loretta Wilkinson

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The objectives were to identify learning strategy strengths and weaknesses of preservice teachers (n = 90) in an entry level educational psychology course that incorporated strategy instruction. Strategy use was assessed at the beginning and end of the course by the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI), a diagnostic inventory of 10 scales. A comparison of mean percentiles with LASSI norms on all scales indicated need for remediation by students. The results indicated that learning strategy scores varied according to student GPA and final course grade. Implications for preservice teachers as learners and potential teachers of strategies were discussed.


Minds-On And Hands-On Activity: Improving Instruction In Science For All Students, Thomas Andre Jan 1997

Minds-On And Hands-On Activity: Improving Instruction In Science For All Students, Thomas Andre

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This paper briefly reviews evidence on gender inequities in science education. It argues that making science instruction more effective is one way in which greater equity can be achieved. A line of research conducted in my laboratory dealing with conceptual change (CC) approaches to science instruction is discussed. CC instruction explicitly activates students’ pre-existing conceptions, leads students to be dissatisfied with less than adequate conceptions, and helps students construct more effective conceptions. Across several studies, CC instruction was found to be more effective than didactic instruction. CC features added to science text and science lessons facilitate learning for both males …

Some Cautions Concerning Inferences About Proportions, Differences Between Proportions, And Quotients Of Proportions, Thomas R. Knapp, Hak P. Tam Jan 1997

Some Cautions Concerning Inferences About Proportions, Differences Between Proportions, And Quotients Of Proportions, Thomas R. Knapp, Hak P. Tam

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The purpose of this article is to bring to the attention of the educational research community several cautions regarding the use of inferential statistics for single proportions, differences between proportions, and quotients of proportions. The user of such procedures is urged to pay particular attention to the selection of the appropriate formula for the standard error and to the assumption of the independence of the observations.


Shareholder Wealth Effects On Joint Venture Termination: A Transaction Cost Analysis, J. J. Reuer Jan 1997

Shareholder Wealth Effects On Joint Venture Termination: A Transaction Cost Analysis, J. J. Reuer

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Managing joint venture (JV transitions can have implications for parent firm performance as JVs become important, albeit temporary, instruments of firms' corporate and international strategies. This study examines the average shareholder wealth effects of five specific types of JV termination. Empirical evidence from U.S. firms terminating domestic and international JVs reveals venture termination neither positively nor negatively influences firm value on average, and no one type of JV termination is superior to its alternatives in general.

Measurement Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainties: Response And Extension, K. D. Miller Jan 1997

Measurement Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainties: Response And Extension, K. D. Miller

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Miller (1993) presented an instrument for measuring managers' perceptions of the environmental uncertainties relevant to international business. Application of this instrument by Werner, Brouthers, and Brouthers (1996), led them to suggest an alternative measurement instrument. This study applies confirmatory factor analysis to examine the reliability and discriminant validity of these alternatives PEU scales.

Patterns Of Reconciliation Among Captive Gelada Baboons (Theropithecus Gelada), Larissa Swedell Jan 1997

Patterns Of Reconciliation Among Captive Gelada Baboons (Theropithecus Gelada), Larissa Swedell

Publications and Research

Animals that live in groups are frequently exposed to conflict situations and must in some way maintain group cohesion. One mechanism that appears to restore social relationships after they have been disrupted by conflict is reconciliation. This study investigated reconciliatory behavior in the gelada baboon, Theropithecus gelada. The subjects were 11 adult geladas, housed in a large outdoor enclosure at the Bronx Zoo/Wildlife Conservation Park, New York. Five-minute focal animal samples following spontaneous aggression were compared with 5-min matched-control samples. The results of this study were: (1) geladas reunited in a friendly way after aggression; (2) former opponents were attracted …
