The Effects Of Initiation And Mentoring Of Adolescent Boys, Clayton J. Lessor

Theses

The effect of initiation and mentoring on adolescent boys was examined. Behavioral scales and personality types were compared.

Both were administered before and after an initiation and mentoring weekend retreat. The parents were given a demographic survey to complete. The Eysenck scores and Behavioral Evaluation scores were the dependent variables. In order to determine if …

"To Gloss Or Not To Gloss": An Investigation Of Reading Comprehension Online, Lara Lomicka

Faculty Publications

This pilot study investigated the effects of multimedia reading software on reading comprehension. Specifically, the study aimed to explore how multimedia annotations influence the level of comprehension. Twelve college students enrolled in a second semester French course were instructed to think aloud during the reading of text on the computer screen. Participants read the text under one of three conditions: full glossing, limited glossing, or no glossing. In addition, a tracker was set up in the software to record the amount and type of glosses, and length of time that each was consulted. The raw data clearly indicate an increase …

Aquatic Exercise : Program Profile And Perceived Benefits On People With Arthritis, Sara Di Trolio

Honors Capstones

The main focus of this project was to research the program profiles and perceived benefits on people with arthritis in aquatic exercise programs. Fifty-five participants in aquatic exercise classes were asked to respond to a questionnaire and comparisons were made between arthritic and non-arthritic groups. A majority of the individuals in the aquatic exercise program reported having arthritis. Approximately half of the respondents reported having participated in the program for more than one year. More than half of the individuals reported exercising three to four times per week. Two of the program sites employed certified aquatic instructors. All four of …

Forensic Accounting: Turning Cpas Into Private Eyes, Gina Ferraro

Honors Capstones

Forensic accounting is the integration of accounting, auditing, and investigative skills. This discipline has gained immense popularity in recent years. In fact, this field is expanding so rapidly that the number of qualified individuals in this area is not meeting its demand for job opportunities. Perhaps this dilemma can be solved by making current and future accounting professionals more aware of their chances for advancement into this relatively new field. Throughout this paper, I discuss the reasons for the increased need for forensic accountants. Before examining the job opportunities available in this field, I also outline the necessary skills and …

Dialogue: A Qualitative Study Of A Faculty Development Intervention To Assist Faculty In Exploring The Practitioner Assumptions That Impact Their Role In Higher Education And Medical Education, Donna M. Qualters

Educational Studies Dissertations

The Dialogue study is concerned with understanding how Dialogue could be applied to faculty development. Dialogue is a structured form of group interaction developed as an organizational behavior tool (Isaacs, 1993) which creates space for practitioner assumptions to be probed and insight into practice be achieved. It provides an intervention for faculty at the pre-contemplative stage of change (Prochaska, 1986), who are not motivated to modify their practice. The study focused on self-selected multi-discipline faculty from a four year institution and a public medical school. Participants ranged in experience from one to thirty five years of practice. This study was …

The Characteristics Of Learners Enrolled In Advanced Level Courses In Hebrew, Chinese, And Japanese At Brandeis University, Vardit Ringvald

Educational Studies Dissertations

Researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of foreign language study in higher education in the United States are familiar with the phenomenon of declining numbers among learners in advanced foreign language courses. The studies that have examined this phenomenon such as Graman (1987) and Dupuy (1994) investigated the learners of so-called "easy" and commonly taught languages, such as French, German and Spanish and suggest that the learners' positive learning backgrounds outside the formal language program are the main factors that influence the learners' decision to continue their language study in the advanced level courses. This study offers new …

The Role And Impact Of Leaders' Mental Models In Effecting Planned Transformational Change, Stephen C. Rathmill

Educational Studies Dissertations

Presidents and CEOs play a critical role in leading their organizations through planned transformational change (PTC) and generally, do not do it very well. This may, in part, be a result of leaders not closely examining and challenging their thinking about PTC and their role in leading it. Leaders' mental models determine what and how they think about their organizations, employees, transformational change and what their leadership means and how their mental models determine their actions and behaviors in planning and implementing PTC. By examining and challenging their mental models, leaders may gain insights into alternative ways of leading and …

Community Service And Political Identity Development In Adolescence, Miranda Yates, James Youniss

Civic Engagement

This article addresses the interconnection of political socialization and identity development. We begin with Erikson 's work, which identified the development of political commitment in adolescence as a key aspect of identity formation. We then seek to shed light on the social processes through which youth become engaged in political activities and issues. We discuss the influences of family and peers as well as participation in community service and other civic activities. The development of social responsibility and agency, and an understanding of the complexity of social issues are considered as important facets of political commitment. Data from a case …

Motivational Levels Of School-Aged Children After Participation In An Outdoor Education Experience, Timothy Eugene Speicher

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

How can we motivate our children to be active? This question has received significant attention in the past 20 years in our society and throughout the world. In days past, this question was not one of concern, as the children were working hard to help their families sustain their farms or businesses. Children often looked at their time away from family responsibilities as time to escape outdoors to play and have fun. Unfortunately, there has been a shift in our culture within the past 20 years towards a more sedentary type of lifestyle, embracing technology with all its time saving …
