Macarthur Story-Stem Battery And Gender Differences, Gina Arnett

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

In this study the MacArthur Story-Stem Battery (MSSB; Bretherton, Oppenheim, Buchsbaum, Emde, & The MacArthur Narrative Group, 1990), an assessment tool that examines childrens’ ability to cope with conflict laden situations, was used to study gender differences in avoidance and aggression. Forty-three children (22 girls, 21 boys) participated in the third phase of a longitudinal study when they were between 7.5 and 8 years old (mean = 7.8). Results showed that males scored significantly higher than females on the variable of aggression in their story completions on the MSSB; however, gender differences for avoidance, while in the hypothesized direction, did …

Silicon Valley Reinvents The Company Town, Jan English-Lueck

Faculty Publications, Anthropology

California's Silicon Valley, famous for its innovative high-technology corporations, makes an ideal laboratory for exploring certain cultural inventions. It is a bellwether for a particular kind of social order—one dominated by work. In anthropology we encounter many frameworks through which life is organized—kinship, religion, and politics. Work is another lens through which life can be filtered. People may move to California for the weather, but they go to Silicon Valley to work. High-technology work draws on a global pool of talent and shifting skills that creates a culturally complex community. Migrants to Silicon Valley bring and enact an image of …

Language And Inflation, Robert Leeson

Business Book Chapters

Macroeconomic controversy is largely a tale of three cities - Chicago and the two Cambridges - or more accurately a tale of the cultures and policy prescriptions associated with those cities. In the four decades between the General Theory and the monetarist counter-revolution, economists were 'normally' distributed around orthodoxy (the Keynesian Neoclassical Synthesis, the ISLM model etc.) with the Chicago version of the Quantity Theory two standard deviations from the mean in the right tail, and the 'true believers' in Cambridge England an equal distance from the mean in the left tail. The preferred method of orthodox research involved 'formalist' …

El Auge De La Literatura Infantil Bilingue: Consideraciones Criticas De Accion Participativa. (The Surge Of Children’S Bilingual Literature: Critical Perspectives Of Participatory Action), Sara Soledad Garcia

Teacher Education

En la década de los noventa ha habido una cierta proliferación de libros de literatura infantil en espanol e inglés en los Estados Unidos. Basándome en varios de estos libros, de reciente publicación, me ocupo de la importancia que tienen nuestras representaciones culturales en los cuentos infantiles que se usan para la enseñanza de lectura en las escuelas públicas. Los libros que he escogido son los siguientes: En Mi Familia, Carmen Lomas Garza, Prietita y la Llorona de Gloria Anzaldúa, Medio Pollito de Alma Flor Ada y Los Tres Pequeños Jabalíes de Susan Lowell. Trato estos libros en forma de …

Students Creating Their Own Thinking-Learning Contexts, Marino C. Alvarez, Geoffrey Burks, Goli Sotoohi, Terry King, Bobby Hulan, Adelicia Graham

Teaching and Learning Faculty Research

This paper focuses on two high school students and their thoughts and feelings as they engaged in a topic of their choosing during a two-month summer action research program. Their high school astronomy teacher monitored their choice of topic and progress. The students engaged in authentic tasks and materials couched in problem-oriented formats within meaningful learning contexts designed to foster thinking and learning. These students worked as a team, but pursued individual paths of inquiry using critical and imaginative thinking, and engaged in social and solitary contexts that involved them in writing, intervening, and reflecting on ideas gleaned from conversations …

Using Eye Tracking To Advance Learning Processes, Diane Kucharczyk

Theses

Eye movements and eye tracking are a part of imaging science that serves as a gateway to further understand cognitive processes. Human vision allows people to perceive a full visual field with the illusion of a high-resolution scene. However, the anisotropic retina only provides a small area called the fovea for high-resolution perception, while the majority of the visual field provides only low-resolution perception. Eye movements detected by the eye tracker are mostly executed to locate objects of one's attention on the fovea, in order to gain detailed information. These movements are meant to move the eye or stabilize the …
