The Development Of The Teacher As A Professional In An Alternative Teacher Education Program, Joseph T. Pascarelli, Blaine C. Ackley, Gerald M. Balaban

Journal of Catholic Education

Recruitment and retention strategies are a growing concern for Catholic educational leaders. This article offers a glimpse into the dynamics of a leading teacher recruitment effort, the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) sponsored by the University of Notre Dame. After surveying the first two cohorts who taught in Catholic schools through ACE, the authors uncover significant and meaningful components of this alternative teacher preparation program with a view to challenging traditional teacher education efforts and preservice requirements.

Teacher Candidates’ Incoming Beliefs About Teaching: Comparing Catholic Service-Learning And Traditional Programs, Vladimir T. Khmlekov, Ann Marie R Power, F. Clark Power

Journal of Catholic Education

This study analyzes a range of professional beliefs held by a sample of incoming teacher candidates in the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), a service-learning teacher education program at the University of Notre Dame, and a sample of preservice teachers in a traditional teacher education program at a state university. The key dependent variables in this study are preservice teachers’ sense of professional responsibility and self-efficacy beliefs regarding the intellectual and moral aspects of their teaching. Findings indicate that ACE teacher candidates hold a greater sense of responsibility for helping disadvantaged students academically and for fostering all children’s moral growth …

Mindful Virtue, Mindful Reverence, Ursula Goodenough, Paul Woodruff Dec 2001

Mindful Virtue, Mindful Reverence, Ursula Goodenough, Paul Woodruff

Biology Faculty Research

How does one talk about moral thought and moral action as a religious naturalist? We explore this question by considering two human capacities: the capacity for mindfulness, and the capacity for virtue. We suggest that mindfulness is deeply enhanced by an understanding of the scientific worldview and that the four cardinal virtues—courage, fairmindedness, humaneness, and reverence—are rendered coherent by mindful reflection. We focus on the concept of mindful reverence and propose that the mindful reverence elicited by the evolutionary narrative is at the heart of religious naturalism. Religious education, we suggest, entails the cultivation of mindful virtue, in ourselves and …

The Church In The Postmarriage Society, Shawn P. Mcconaughey Dec 2001

The Church In The Postmarriage Society, Shawn P. Mcconaughey

Doctor of Ministry

Pastors hear the same story too many times. The faces are different, and the circumstances have new twists, but the story of another marriage breaking apart is too familiar. The consequences are always the same, a ripping and tearing apart of a family. There are wounded hearts, crushed self-esteem, and plenty of blame to go around. The frustration is that those people breaking up are Christians. Often they are a part of the church, and in many cases the church or their faith didn't seem to be a part of the equation for making a decision to divorce. Many do …

Concepts, Measurement And Causes Of Poverty, D. O. Ajakaiye, V. A. Adeyeye

Economic and Financial Review

Thoughts. on appropriate conceptualization, measurement and accurate characterization of determinants of poverty has a long history. From analytical perspective, thinking about poverty can be traced back at least to the codification of poor laws in medieval England, through to the pioneering empirical studies, at the tum of the century, by Booth in London and by Rowntree in York. Rowntree's study, published in 1901, was the first to develop a poverty standard for individual families, based on estimates of nutritional and other requirements. In the 1960s, the main focus of poverty debate was on the level of income, reflected in macro …

Modified Adaptive Algorithms, Yingkang Hu, Kirill A. Kopotun, Xiang Ming Yu Dec 2001

Modified Adaptive Algorithms, Yingkang Hu, Kirill A. Kopotun, Xiang Ming Yu

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

It is well known that the adaptive algorithm is simple and easy to program but the results are not fully competitive with other nonlinear methods such as free knot spline approximation. We modify the algorithm to take full advantages of nonlinear approximation. The new algorithms have the same approximation order as other nonlinear methods, which is proved by characterizing their approximation spaces. One of our algorithms is implemented on the computer, with numerical results illustrated by figures and tables.


"Black Behind The Ears" — And Up Front Too? Dominicans In The Black Mosaic, Ginetta Candelario Dr Dec 2001

"Black Behind The Ears" — And Up Front Too? Dominicans In The Black Mosaic, Ginetta Candelario Dr

Sociology: Faculty Publications

This article considers the formation and representation of Washington, D.C.'s Dominican community in the Anacostia Museum's 1994 -1995 exhibit, Black Mosaic: Community, Race and Ethnicity Among Black Immigrants in D.C. The exhibit successfully pointed to the extensive historical presence of African Diaspora peoples in Latin America and explored the development of subsequent Diaspora from those communities into Washington, D.C. The case of Dominican immigrants to D.C., however, illustrates the continued privileging of a U.S.- or Anglo-centric ideation of African-American history and identity. I argue that a more accurate and politically useful formulation would call for an understanding that the African …

Poverty Reduction And Structural Reform, Chris E. Nemedia Dec 2001

Poverty Reduction And Structural Reform, Chris E. Nemedia

Economic and Financial Review

Poverty bas no precise definition. Being a relative concept, it has no universally adopted definition that can be applied to all societies and all nations of the world. We can talk of a poor person or a poor nation. You may describe a person as poor if his income is below subsistence level. But the subsistence levels of income vary from society to society and from nation to nation. In spite of the absence of a precise and an all-embracing definition of poverty, it is quite easy to recognize or identify the attributes of a poor person or the characteristics …


Poverty Reduction In Nigeria: The Way Forward, Mike I. Obadan Dec 2001

Poverty Reduction In Nigeria: The Way Forward, Mike I. Obadan

Economic and Financial Review

The description of Nigeria as a paradox by the World Bank (1996) bas continued to be confirmed by events and official statistics in the country. The paradox is - that the poverty level in Nigeria contradicts the country's immense wealth. Among other things, the country is enormously endowed with human, agricultural, petroleum, gas, and large untapped solid mineral resources. Particularly worrisome is that the country earned over USS300 billion from one resource - petroleum - during the last three decades of the twentieth century. But rather than record remarkable progress in national socio-economic development, Nigeria retrogressed to become one of …
