Staff Development In The V.E.T. Sector: Case Studies Of Two Providers, Erica Smith, Tom Lowrie Nov 1998

Staff Development In The V.E.T. Sector: Case Studies Of Two Providers, Erica Smith, Tom Lowrie

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

This paper explores attitudes about and practices in staff development within two providers of' vocational education and training, focussing in particular on staff development in competency-based training (CBT). A general overview of staff development in the VET sector is provided, together with a brief discussion of the nature of CBT and an indication of some of the controversy which was associated with its introduction. Staff development in the two organisations is discussed in some detail, and it is suggested that some of the differences in staff development practices may be ascribed to variations in size and in organisational culture.

Portfolio Assessment In Vocational Education: The Assessor's View, Zita M. Wagner Nov 1998

Portfolio Assessment In Vocational Education: The Assessor's View, Zita M. Wagner

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

Portfolio assessment has been traditionally used in art, design, music, writing and dance programs. However in recent years the use of portfolio assessment in vocational education has expanded to include many different subject areas such as economics, business, nursing, human resources, mathematics and engineering. As an assessment tool the portfolio has much to offer in terms of involving students in the assessment process and in documenting their achievements. From the assessor's point of view, the use of portfolios for assessment raises issues of reliability, the time consuming nature of assessment, objectivity and authenticity of the work. In this paper twentyfour …

Latinos In Massachusetts: An Update, Andrés Torres, Lisa Chavez Nov 1998

Latinos In Massachusetts: An Update, Andrés Torres, Lisa Chavez

Gastón Institute Publications

This research report updates the socioeconomic picture of Latinos in Massachusetts. According to estimates contained in this report, the Latino population in Massachusetts experienced vigorous growth during the first half of the 1990s. Not since the 1990 census has there been a broad profile of this rapidly growing segment of the state’s population. This information should assist the general public in understanding some of the basic issues affecting the Hispanic community. It should also be useful to the many individuals and organizations who are concerned about the future of this community and responsible for informed decision-making: elected officials, policy makers, …


Interior Blowup In A Convection-Diffusion Equation, Christopher P. Grant Nov 1998

Interior Blowup In A Convection-Diffusion Equation, Christopher P. Grant

Faculty Publications

This paper addresses the qualitative behavior of a nonlinear convection-diffusion equation on a smooth bounded domain in Rn, in which the strength of the convection grows superlinearly as the density increases. While the initial-boundary value problem is guaranteed to have a local-in-time solution for smooth initial data, it is possible for this solution to be extinguished in nite time. We demonstrate that the way this may occur is through nite-time "blow up," i.e., the unboundedness of the solution in arbitrarily small neighborhoods of one or more points in the closure of the spatial domain. In special circumstances, such as the …

Study Of Microwave Annealing Effects On Polymer Crystallization, Junmei Ji Nov 1998

Study Of Microwave Annealing Effects On Polymer Crystallization, Junmei Ji

Theses

In this project, the effect of melt annealing on the crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide), (PEO), was studied by comparing thermal annealing to microwave annealing. After the subsequent controlled crystallization, the crystalline morphology of films was characterized by Polarizing Light Microscopy (PLM); the melting curves for both films and bulk samples were measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). These measurements revealed significant differences between microwave and thermally annealed samples. We propose that microwave annealing has a "quantum on polymer crystallization. The difference in morphology cannot be explained by a change in the temperature profile of the two annealing methods. By investigating …


The Study Of Circumannular Orbital Interactions In The Imine Derivatives Of 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-1,3-Cyclobutanedione, Arati Naik Nov 1998

The Study Of Circumannular Orbital Interactions In The Imine Derivatives Of 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-1,3-Cyclobutanedione, Arati Naik

Theses

The title compounds possess unusual orbital interactions. A p-pi type interaction which incorporates both a transannular and circumannular component and a non-bonding circumannular interaction from the lone electron pairs on the opposite ends of the ring interacting via the ring carbon p-orbitals of proper symmetry. Variable temperature NMR was employed to examine the effect of the non-bonding interaction of inversion through nitrogen on the imine chromophore. A plot of In k vs 1/T allowed for the determination of Ea from the slope and the free energy of activation AG was calculated from the coalescence temperature. The magnitude of long range …


Behavioral Economics, The Economic Analysis Of Bankruptcy Law And The Pricing Of Credit, Robert K. Rasmussen Nov 1998

Behavioral Economics, The Economic Analysis Of Bankruptcy Law And The Pricing Of Credit, Robert K. Rasmussen

Vanderbilt Law Review

Bankruptcy has been a fertile ground for the economic analysis of law. A significant portion of bankruptcy scholarship during the past fifteen years applies the basic assumptions of standard economic theory to the problems caused by financial distress. This scholarship begins with the premise that people make choices in a rational manner in order to maximize their individual utility. It applies this axiom to questions ranging from when do individuals file for bankruptcy to how bankruptcy laws affect firms' investment decisions. As it has in most other areas of law (especially private law), law and economics has both reshaped our …


The Effects Of The Architectural Design, Replacement Algorithm, And Size Parameters Of Cache Memory In Uniprocessor Computer Systems, Eric Berzofsky Nov 1998

The Effects Of The Architectural Design, Replacement Algorithm, And Size Parameters Of Cache Memory In Uniprocessor Computer Systems, Eric Berzofsky

Theses

To investigate the effects of cache coherency on multiprocessors, it is helpful to first explore coherency issues within uniprocessors, working with a small part of a big problem instead of attacking the big problem from the start. This thesis will investigate the design and implementation of three different cache designs, varying the mapping strategy, replacement algorithm, and size parameters to determine the effects each have on the cache miss ratio, coherency, and average memory access time. VHDL is used to create software models of each cache design investigated, so that parameter values can be easily changed, and so that no …

Student Services In Distant Learning Environments, Nancy Aden, Ward Sybouts, Roger Wess Oct 1998

Student Services In Distant Learning Environments, Nancy Aden, Ward Sybouts, Roger Wess

Nebraska Network 21: Publications

At the end of the millennium in which the idea of the university has blossomed, population growth is outpacing the world’s capacity to give people access to universities. A sizable new university would now be needed every week merely to sustain current participation rates in higher education....Sir John S. Daniel, Vice Chancellor of The Open University; 6; p. 1
Traditional higher education institutions will probably be successful in the distance learning market if these two services are carefully developed and maintained: 1. provide quality learning experiences for students.
2. provide quality STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES.
