A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, John Speer Jan 2000

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, John Speer

Graduate Research Papers

Coming from the classroom into the Leadership program, I felt that administration was a way in which a good teacher could more effectively make an impact upon an entire system rather than an isolated classroom. It is the opportunity to lead a building in creating an atmosphere and climate where every student benefits, not just the few in the teacher1 s room. Moving into the secondary principals hip this year, I still firmly believe that to be the case. An effective principal can help to create the type of atmosphere where great things can happen in education.

E-Business, E-Commerce & The Law, John F. Rudin Jan 2000

E-Business, E-Commerce & The Law, John F. Rudin

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Advocates argue that UCITA (Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act) provides rules of the road for the technology highway much like the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) has done with our commerce system for several decades. However, the UCC provides a level playing field where businesses and customers are aware of the rules prior to conducting business. Among its many shortcomings, UCITA lacks the notice and disclosure features of the UCC. A simple double click of a mouse with the cursor on an icon that reads "I accept" binds the customer to a contract that has not been reviewed prior to purchase. …

The Problem Areas In Diabetes Scale: A Follow-Up Study, Roslyn M Collins

Results of its use have been previously published for three different population groups. The primary focus of this study was to describe the relationship between the scores on the Problem Areas in Diabetes scale and HbA1C laboratory test results for persons with type 2 …

The Dynamics Of Faith-Based Organizations And Their Effects On Educational Standardization, Patricia Gail Haase Jan 2000

The Dynamics Of Faith-Based Organizations And Their Effects On Educational Standardization, Patricia Gail Haase

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Remnants of Christian tradition exist in American culture although we live in a pluralistic society. Faith-based schools seek to restore elements of the Christian tradition, believing those values essential for their children. Some in the greater community look to such schools for elements and practices to translate and apply into the greater systems; Private faith-based education is considered overall successful, but there are problems that warrant discussion. Most of the dynamics are typical of all organizations, but perhaps not expected because of the moral representation. Others dynamics are unique or exaggerated in faith-based organizations; Non-profit organizations, including faith-based, exist to …

Be An American Reconstructioneer Of Culture, John Sikula Jan 2000

Be An American Reconstructioneer Of Culture, John Sikula

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

In this presentation the author argues that improvement in schooling and teacher education in the United States will be successful to the extent that educators establish via research and practice and make known to the public and to budget controlling authorities the clear relationships which exist between investment in education and productive citizenship. Until educators become more proactive, demanding, political, and willing to serve as American Reconstructioneers of Culture (ARCs), our educational institutions will continue to drift with a tide of mediocrity as resources flow to other more viable and vocal areas.

Traditional Vs. "Resampling" Approaches To Statistical Inferences Regarding Correlation Coefficients, Thomas R. Knapp, Gerald L. Noblitt, Sunanta Viragoontavan Jan 2000

Traditional Vs. "Resampling" Approaches To Statistical Inferences Regarding Correlation Coefficients, Thomas R. Knapp, Gerald L. Noblitt, Sunanta Viragoontavan

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

With the ever-increasing use of computers in data analysis, there has been a movement to abandon traditional parametric approaches, with all of their restrictive assumptions, in favor of computer-intensive nonparametric inferential statistical procedures such as the jackknife and the bootstrap that are based upon resampling of the sample data. In this article these techniques are compared and contrasted with the parametric approach, with special emphasis on inferences regarding correlation coefficients.

The Influence Of Textbooks On Teaching Strategies: An Empirical Study, Lianghuo Fan, Gurcharn S. Kaeley Jan 2000

The Influence Of Textbooks On Teaching Strategies: An Empirical Study, Lianghuo Fan, Gurcharn S. Kaeley

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This study investigates the influence of textbooks on teaching strategies. Teaching strategies of 14 teachers using University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) secondary mathematics textbooks were compared to those of another 14 teachers using non-UCSMP textbooks in 13 schools. Data were collected from classroom observations, teacher interviews and a questionnaire survey. The results indicate that textbooks appear to affect teaching strategies by conveying pedagogical messages to teachers and providing an encouraging or discouraging curricular environment for employing different teaching strategies. Therefore their role in teachers' teaching practices should be recognized by textbook authors, curriculum reformers, and school teachers and …

Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena—A Louisiana Jurist's Response, Sol Gothard Jan 2000

Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena—A Louisiana Jurist's Response, Sol Gothard

Seattle University Law Review

Having recognized that there can be both therapeutic and antitherapeutic effects of judicial decisions, I would like to offer this consideration concerning the use of therapeutic jurisprudence in the appellate courts. In his Article, Therapeutic Jurisprudence in the Appellate Arena, David Wexler asks, "Does the ability to issue advisory opinions enhance a court's ability to create 'therapeutic' doctrines?" As a general rule, courts are not allowed to issue advisory opinions and there are strong reasons for such a prohibition.

Psychological Consequences Of Adopting A Therapeutic Lawyering Approach: Pitfalls And Protective Strategies, Lynda L. Murdoch Jan 2000

Psychological Consequences Of Adopting A Therapeutic Lawyering Approach: Pitfalls And Protective Strategies, Lynda L. Murdoch

Seattle University Law Review

The integration of preventive law and therapeutic jurisprudence holds promise for enriching the careers of many practicing lawyers. However, the process of becoming more therapeutic in orientation also involves risk. This Article discusses four potential pitfalls: (1) the process of becoming psychologically-minded and its inherent hazards, including overidentification; (2) the difficulty of balancing neutrality and involvement; (3) the need to identify and manage transference and countertransference; and (4) the risk of secondary trauma. Protective strategies, drawn from the psychotherapeutic and burnout literature, are outlined. This Article stresses the need for lawyers to recognize potential hazards and draw on the experience …

Two Takeovers In Wild Hamadryas Baboons, Larissa Swedell Jan 2000

Two Takeovers In Wild Hamadryas Baboons, Larissa Swedell

Publications and Research

Hamadryas baboons exhibit a multi-level social structure in which several one-male units, each consisting of a ‘leader’ male and one or more females, comprise a band’ and two or more bands comprise a troop. Cohesion of each one-male unit is maintained by aggressive herding by its leader male [1]. Here I describe the consequences of 2 takeovers in a band of wild hamadryas baboons. I report evidence of infant mortality following takeovers, changes in female reproductive condition within 2 weeks after takeovers, and the reacquisition of a female by a deposed leader male, none of which has been previously reported …

Sexual Harassment And Racial Disparity: The Mutual Construction Of Gender And Race, Tanya K. Hernandez Jan 2000

Sexual Harassment And Racial Disparity: The Mutual Construction Of Gender And Race, Tanya K. Hernandez

Faculty Scholarship

For a number of years, commentators have proffered anecdotal evidence to suggest that women of color figure prominently as sexual harassment plaintiffs. Until recently, a systematic statistical analysis of women's experiences of sexual harassment by race was largely unavailable. For the first time, this Article comprehensively analyzes Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sexual harassment charge statistics, by looking at data from the last seven years along with Lexis-Nexis and Westlaw electronic reports of sexual harassment complaints for the last twenty years. What immediately becomes apparent in this statistical analysis of sexual harassment charges in the United States is the overrepresentation …

Capacity And Procedural Accounts Of Impaired Memory In Depression, Paula T. Hertel, T. Meiser Jan 2000

Capacity And Procedural Accounts Of Impaired Memory In Depression, Paula T. Hertel, T. Meiser

Psychology Faculty Research

Findings of impaired memory in states of dysphoria or depression are summarized and subsumed under different accounts of mood-related memory deficits. Theoretical accounts based on the assumption of a storage system of limited capacity are compared to accounts which emphasize the role of procedures and strategies in attending and remembering. Two reanalyses of a recent experiment in the process-dissociation paradigm are reported. They address issues of dysphoria-related differences in automatic versus controlled uses of memory in a task of word-stem completion. The two reanalyses rest on different assumptions about the relation between automatic and controlled components, but they converge in …
