Measuring The Contributions Of Motives And Perceived Barriers To Active Aging, Francis G. Caro, Jeffrey A. Burr, Eilon Caspi, Jan E. Mutchler

Gerontology Institute Publications

General motivation to be active and general perceived barriers to activity may help to explain the overall activity patterns of older persons in the second half of the life course. We report on a project designed to develop and refine measures of motivation and perceived barriers that can be used to examine the relationships between activity motivation, activity barriers, and several forms of actual activities. Four specific activities were considered: working, volunteering, exercising, and taking classes. An opportunity sample of 192 middle-aged and older persons from eastern Massachusetts responded to a questionnaire concerned with motivation, perceived barriers, and activities. Reliable …

Support New Minority Teachers Through Culture, Community And Collaboration, Alejandra Favela, Danielle Torres

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

While it is always a challenge to support and retain new teachers, supporting minority1 educators is especially significant if we are ever to reach a more equitable demographic balance in schools. Many teachers can feel overwhelmed and under-prepared to effectively address the cultural and linguistic diversity prevalent in today's classrooms. Additionally, minority teachers often experience distinct developmental issues too often neglected in support programs designed for new teachers.

The Child Within: A Case Study Of Adult Learning, Albert H. Fein

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

After devoting 30 years to a career in K-12 education, both as a teacher and administrator, seven years ago I joined the ranks of higher education to teach adults. When I began teaching pre-service and in-service teachers, I assumed that good teaching was good teaching, whether my students were adults or children. I have learned from my experiences that I was only partially correct. Adult learners do have unique needs and perspectives that are quite distinct from young learners (Knowles, 1980).

The case described herein is the result of a class assignment in a course called Advanced Teaching Strategies, part …

Science Goes Spatial: Geotechnologies In The Classroom, Lisa M. Blank, Jeff Crews, Rachel Loehman, Randy Kneuth

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

Geospatial technology is one of the three most important emerging and rapidly evolving fields in science, business, and industry. Although geotechnologies such as Geographic Information Systems seem to be a natural fit for the classroom, many schools lag behind in introducing students to geospatial technologies. One major reason is the investmeni of time required for teachers to acquire and become conversant with geospatial software and to develop instructional materials that enhance student learning. This paper describes a geospatial professional development effort underway in Montana entitled Science Goes Spatial: Geotechnologies in the Classroom (GTEC). The GTEC project identifies critical system supports …

The targeted population consisted of Pre-Kindergarten students in three elementary schools located in mid-western communities. Post intervention data indicated an increase in students' word identification skills.

A Study Of The Irish Struggle Against English Oppression, Christopher Burke

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

The Plight Freedom. What does it mean and where does it come from? Certainly there are many forms of freedom which exist on many levels. When one person has a desire to be free, what circumstances must exist to drive that longing? A single human wishing for freedom might be considered the 'bottom of the food-chain' on the grand scale of liberty, but a single mind can become the germination for all actions toward that goal. In the case of a population, can freedom be such a difficult prize if millions of people clamor for it? As for nations, is …

An Indistinct Earth: Stories, Stephen Janes

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

To write constitutes a supreme faith. Not merely in the idea of oneself as a writer, but also in the subject and in the audience. When something is put out into the universe, it floats there. If no one grabs it, it stays floating. Nabokov writes, "A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual" (Nabokov, 22). It is the individual that makes up society. Therefore, art that does not touch one man cannot touch all men. The idea of a perfect audience or a perfect listener is comparable for man's search …
