Direct Instruction In Group Dynamics And Small Group Communication Enhances Collaborative Group Learning, Marie Kraus

Mathematical and Computing Sciences Masters

In this paper, I explored whether directed instruction in small group communication skills and group dynamics can make collaborative group learning more effective in my classroom. In my experience, I have found that educators constantly encourage students to perform tasks in a competitive individualistic environment. Teachers ask them to work alone; they set up reward systems where cooperation among students is discouraged and promote "acceptable" not outstanding work. Unfortunately, teachers are almost setting up students for fai lure in the real world. The environment that teachers create within the classroom does not represent the world that people live in where …

Flarr Pages #19: Developing Students' Understanding Of Latin Grammar Through Sentence-Structure Analysis Sheets, Daniel N. Erickson

FLARR Pages

Latin teachers well know that students are often overwhelmed when they are making the transition from English, a word-order dependent language, to Latin, which is not and thus is highly flexible. Sentence-Structure Analysis" ("SSA") is a technique of mine that has been used successfully to help students make the transition to Latin's word order and develop an understanding of its syntax. Let us begin by considering a basic principle underlying Sentence-Structure Analysis Sheets.

Muir Center Newsletters (1981-2015)

NEWSLETTER M Transcendentalist by L. Mikel Vause, Weber State University he term "transcendentalist" evokes an interesting image. Generally when one thinks of a transcendentalist, the image of a little brown-skinned mystic, sitting in lotus position chanting "ommm" comes to ihind. Although American transcendentalism certainly does have Far Eastern roots, one ascribing to that title is Br more likely to be found tramping around the back country rather than curled up on a mat contemplating the ilssence of existence. The founder of American transcendentalism is Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The Sage of Concord." It was Emerson who, with the publication of Nature …

Small Business Promotion And Microlending: A Comparative Assessment Of Jamaican And Israeli Ngos, Benson Honig

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

Loan programs in two different countries, Israel and Jamaica, are compared and contrasted, in order to identify common elements of project design, selection, and institutional norms. Utilizing agency theory, this article examines what types of borrowers successfully navigate the credit market and to what extent the bureaucratic processes employed by institutions influence and bias outcomes in unpredicted ways in organizations. Entrepreneurs are well recognized as coming from a wide range of backgrounds; indeed, it is the very heterogeneity of their origins that allows many to provide the newness of perspective so necessary for their activities. However, hidden or tacit institutional …

Binding Of Pb And Zn To Aluminium Oxide And Proton Stoichiometry, Wing H. Leung, A. Kimaro

Virginia Journal of Science

The interaction of Pb and Zn with Al₂O₃ in aqueous solution was studied as a function of pH and metal ion concentration. Results indicated the complexation of metal ions by oxide surfaces is strongly pH dependent; the extent of adsorption is a function of pH with an abrupt change within approximately 2 pH units. The adsorption of Pb and Zn on aluminium oxide can be interpreted in terms of a surface complexation formed by association with one surface AlOH group, thus releasing one bound hydrogen ion. -AlOH + M²⁺ = -AlOM⁺ + H⁺ . …

Probability Distribution Of Distance In A Uniform Ellipsoid: Theory And Applications To Physics, Michelle Parry, Ephraim Fischbach

Chemistry & Physics Faculty Publications

A number of authors have previously found the probability P_n(r) that two points uniformly distributed in an n-dimensional sphere are separated by a distance r. This result greatly facilitates the calculation of self-energies of spherically symmetric matter distributions interacting by means of an arbitrary radially symmetric two-body potential. We present here the analogous results for P₂(r;ϵ) and P₃(r;ϵ) which respectively describe an ellipse and an ellipsoid whose major and minor axes are 2a and 2b. It is shown that …
