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

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

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 …

Ex Parte Civil Commitment, Family Care-Givers, And Schizophrenia: A Therapeutic Jurisprudence Analysis, Éva Szeli

Seattle University Law Review

First, this Article will discuss schizophrenia and its impact on these individuals and their families. Family variables in the course of the disorder will be highlighted. Then, this Article will review the legal power afforded such families by ex parte provisions in civil commitment statutes using the involuntary examination portion of the Florida mental health code as a model. Finally, this Article will assess this system of civil commitment available to care-giving families in therapeutic jurisprudential terms, with recommendations for maximizing the therapeutic consequences and minimizing the antitherapeutic consequences of ex parte procedures.

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 …

Approche Cognitive De La Dépression: Pensées Intrusives Et Contrôle De La Pensée, Paula T. Hertel

Psychology Faculty Research

II y a trente ans, l'intitule "une approche cognitive de la dépression" aurait suscité divers commentaires en relation avec l'importante approche clinique de la dépression proposée par Aaron T. Beck et ses collègues. C'est encore le cas aujourd'hui; Beck fut probablement le premier à souligner le rôle joué par les représentations de l’expérience vécue, et par les pensées concernant cette expérience, dans l’élaboration, le maintien et le traitement des états et des humeurs dépressifs. De nos jours, cependant, d'autres approches cognitives devraient également venir à l'esprit, car les progrès réalisés en psychologie cognitive expérimentale au cours des dix dernières années …

The Effects Of Balance Training In Normal Young Adults As Assessed By The Neurocom Balance Master, Steve Dingmann

Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects

Balance is a skill that is essential for most activities of daily living (ADL) including participation in any athletic activity, whether competitive or recreational. When assessing balance, it is very important to have normal balance baselines in order to serve as a guideline for comparison, especially when returning an athlete to competition. Additionally, given the importance of balance in athletics, it would seem important to determine if people with normal balance can improve their balance in order to enhance performance and decrease the risk of injury during sports.

The purpose of this study was to establish balance baselines on the …

Privacy And Celebrity: An Essay On The Nationalization Of Intimacy, Robert F. Nagel

University of Richmond Law Review

I start from the rather obvious proposition that in recent years the American public has placed a high value on the right of privacy. This general commitment to privacy was what kept Robert Bork, despite his qualifications, off the Supreme Court, and more recently it was what kept William Clinton, despite his behavior, in the White House. Bork's nomination was a threat to the constitutional right to use contraceptives and to choose abortion, while the impeachment charges against Clinton were a threat to the moral distinction between public political life and private sexual behavior. The power that the idea of …

Vcu's My Library: Librarians Love It. . . . Users? Well, Maybe, Jimmy Ghaphery, Dan Ream

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

Virginia Commonwealth University's My Library project (circa 1998-1999) has chosen "ease of use" as its primary design criteria. The development of this tool using Perl scripting is described, and reports derived from usage logs are analyzed here. My Library tends to appeal a great deal to a small number of users as a personal tool. Librarians have found it popular as a class teaching tool, with pages designed for specific classes in library instruction receiving the heaviest use.

A Study About The "Cultural Orientation" In Chinese Avant-Garde Art., Jianxiong Mao

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Chinese avant-garde art until 1989 was an historical product of that special era. It “appropriated” Western contemporary art and endowed it with its own historical and cultural connotation. The juxtaposition of the elite appealing and the deconstructively post-modern scepticism constituted Chinese avant-gardian discourse at that time. The “Opening” political-economic context of the society virtually encouraged and now has digested the forms and concepts of Modernism which are calmly accepted today as one episode of art history, an enlightened experiment. To use the labels of Western contemporary social, cultural and artistic movements to describe Chinese Xiandai art will cause confusion, for …

Dating Behavior Of Latter-Day Saint Male Returned Missionaries: A Process Of Managing Desires, Nancy C. Mclaughlin

Theses and Dissertations

Each year thousands of Latter-day Saint males return to their homes after serving a two year religious mission. According to Latter-day Saint doctrine and cultural beliefs, these young men are expected to resume a normal life including dating and involvement in romantic relationships. Research and Latter-day Saint doctrine related to the dating behavior of returned missionaries (RMs) is reviewed. Most previous research has emphasized the quantitative analysis of single aspects of RMs dating behavior such as dating frequency and social status. In an attempt to add to this field of research, this qualitative analysis explored the attitudes and experiences of …

Brown’S Promise, Blaine’S Legacy, Richard W. Garnett

Journal Articles

If nothing else, this Review Essay, like Professor Viteritti's book, should be timely. As I write, the United States Supreme Court in Mitchell v. Helms has just decided that publicly funded computers and other educational materials may be loaned to private and religious schools. The decision is widely viewed as signaling, if not determining, the constitutional fate of school-choice experiments like those in Cleveland and Milwaukee. As it happened, just one week before Mitchell, the Sixth Circuit heard oral arguments in Simmons-Harris v. Zelman (the Ohio voucher case) as hundreds of voucher supporters chanted "freedom, freedom!" across the street from …

The Psychology Of Global Climate Change, Jeffrey J. Rachlinski

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In its attempt to address the threat of global climate change, society has struggled to reach a consensus regarding the need for preventive measures. Professor Rachlinski describes the threat of global climate change as a unique commons dilemma and explains that various psychological phenomena of judgment render it unlikely that society will be able to respond effectively to the threat. After considering the effects of biased assimilation, loss aversion, and other psychological processes, the author explains that an innovative approach is necessary to properly address the dilemma of global climate change.

Specifically, the author examines the prospect of governmental intervention …

The Columbia River's Fate In The Twentieth Century, William L. Lang

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

Discusses the history of the Columbia River during the 20th century, emphasizing the image of the river as both a source of industry and an example of wild natural beauty. In 1933 the river was dammed to harness its power for hydroelectricity and control its unpredictable flooding. With the completion of the dams in the 1970's, however, came problems with the edenic vision of the river, especially with the annual salmon run. By the late 20th century, the salmon had all but disappeared, leading to an ongoing conflict between supporters of the dams and conservationists.
