Seeing The Students Behind The Stereotypes: The Perspective Of Three Preservice Teachers, Alison Cook-Sather, Ondrea Reisinger Dec 2000

Seeing The Students Behind The Stereotypes: The Perspective Of Three Preservice Teachers, Alison Cook-Sather, Ondrea Reisinger

Education Program Faculty Research and Scholarship

Stereotypes are a particularly insidious factor in the formation of pre‐ and in‐service teachers’ images of students. Teachers who rely on stereotypes rather than try to see the students behind them run the risk of letting cultural and individual biases work to their own disadvantage and to the disadvantage of the next generation of high school students. This article describes a project called Teaching and Learning Together that brings preservice teachers into direct dialogue with high school students with the goal of helping preservice teachers learn to attend to high school students and analyze the pedagogical implications of that attention …

College Graduates In The Nonmetropolitan South: Origins And Prospects, Robert M. Gibbs Dec 2000

College Graduates In The Nonmetropolitan South: Origins And Prospects, Robert M. Gibbs

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This study documents the regional origins of the college-experienced population in the nonmetro South, using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 Cohort. As of 1994, the nonmetro South had generated over half of its own college-experienced adults between the ages of 30-38, a higher rate than that of any other region. Although the results of logistic regression estimates show that nonmetro southerners were less likely to attend college, those who left the region for college were more likely to return than other regional migrants, especially after age 30. In addition, the relatively low demand for college-trained labor in the …

Migration In The Nonmetropolitan South, Mark Nord, John Cromartie Dec 2000

Migration In The Nonmetropolitan South, Mark Nord, John Cromartie

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Data from multiple sources are analyzed to provide a picture of domestic migration patterns, characteristics of migrants, and effects of migration on poverty and human capital in the rural South during the 1990s. Migration trends in the 1990s were quite favorable for the rural South. Net migration was positive and substantial and represented a gain of people in their early career years including a disproportionate share of young families. The "brain drain" that characterized the 1980s has at least slowed, and possibly stopped. The comparative advantage of rural areas is increasingly found in their natural amenities and low population densities …


Job Search, Employment Density, And The Rate Of Exit Of Unemployment In Nonmetropolitan Labor Markets, Bradford F. Mills Dec 2000

Job Search, Employment Density, And The Rate Of Exit Of Unemployment In Nonmetropolitan Labor Markets, Bradford F. Mills

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Little is known about the influences that employment density and other local labor-market conditions have on transitions from unemployment to employment in nonmetropolitan areas. The empirical job search model developed in this paper finds that individual characteristics, unemployment rates, commuting patterns, and trade and service sector growth all significantly influence the rate of exit of unemployment following job loss. Measures of local labor-market density, by contrast, appear to have little direct impact on the rate of exit of unemployment. The results of the paper suggest that the differential targeting of remote areas with job search assistance for displaced workers is …

Cooperative Learning And Academically Gifted Students, John Joynt Dec 2000

Cooperative Learning And Academically Gifted Students, John Joynt

Graduate Research Papers

This article examines the complexity of cooperative learning as an instructional strategy and discusses its positive effects for all students. The writer then defends cooperative learning as a classroom strategy for the academically gifted, even though gifted education practitioners frequently criticize it. He cites current research that identifies cooperative learning as an appropriate general education classroom strategy for all learners, as well as studies that criticize its effectiveness. After reviewing both positive and negative research related to cooperative learning and academically gifted students, the writer concludes that cooperative learning can be a positive instructional strategy if implemented according to the …

The General Equilibrium Model Of Bank Indonesia (Gembi), Charles Pr Joseph, Janu Dewandaru, Hidayah Dhini Ari Dec 2000

The General Equilibrium Model Of Bank Indonesia (Gembi), Charles Pr Joseph, Janu Dewandaru, Hidayah Dhini Ari

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

Sampai saat ini Bank Indonesia telah memiliki model makro ekonometrik yang cukup paripurna seperti MODBI. Model makro seperti MODBI tersebut bersifat statik dan sangat berguna bagi kepentingan proyeksi makro jangka pendek. Namun, berdasarkan beberapa alasan fundamental model ekonometrik tersebut secara teoritis tidak dapat dipakai sebagai alat penunjuk arah gerak dinamis dari berbagai variable makro jangka menengah dan panjang. Untuk itu suatu model makro yang dinamis (dynamic macro model) yang digenerate dengan data artifisial (artificial generated data) yang bersifat random telah dikembangkan dan diberi nama General Equilibrium Model of Bank Indonesia (GEMBI).

Nine New Species Of Lacinipolia (Noctuidae) From Arizona, California And Vicinity, Charles L. Selman, Ron Leuschner Dec 2000

Nine New Species Of Lacinipolia (Noctuidae) From Arizona, California And Vicinity, Charles L. Selman, Ron Leuschner

The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey

This article formalizes the taxonomic conclusions of the senior author’s 1975 successful doctorate dissertation. The nine new species defined in that 1975 dissertation are here formally described in compliance with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). The authors have essentially abstracted the original 447 page dissertation and designated types. The new Lacinipolia species are: delongi, aileenae, triplehorni, bucketti, baueri, sharonae, martini, fordi, and franclemonti. The purpose of this paper is simply to make these names available to the scientific community and professional researchers by making them ICZN-compliant.

The Translational Regulation Of Lipoprotein Lipase In Diabetic Rats Involves The 3′-Untranslated Region Of The Lipoprotein Lipase Mrna, Gouri Ranganathan, Chunling Li, Philip A. Kern Dec 2000

The Translational Regulation Of Lipoprotein Lipase In Diabetic Rats Involves The 3′-Untranslated Region Of The Lipoprotein Lipase Mrna, Gouri Ranganathan, Chunling Li, Philip A. Kern

Clinical and Translational Science Faculty Publications

Adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity is decreased in patients with poorly controlled diabetes, and this contributes to the dyslipidemia of diabetes. To study the mechanism of this decrease in LPL, we studied adipose tissue LPL expression in male rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Heparin releasable and extractable LPL activity in the epididymal fat decreased by 75-80% in the diabetic group and treatment of the rats with insulin prior to sacrifice reversed this effect. Northern blot analysis indicated no corresponding change in LPL mRNA levels. However, LPL synthetic rate, measured using [35S]methionine pulse labeling, was decreased by 75% in …
