Interdisciplinary Instruction In American Colleges Of Education: Rhetoric Or Reality?, G Boyd Chitwood

Theses and Dissertations

This study explores the status of training for interdisciplinary instruction of K-12 teachers in NCATE-accredited teacher education programs in the United States. Further, program leader beliefs about interdisciplinary instruction were surveyed, and consistency of those beliefs with the actual conduct of their programs was studied. Interdisciplinary instruction has received significant positive mention over the last 80 years with waves of increasing interest identified up to the present. Support for this pedagogy has come from claims about effectiveness, teacher efficacy, nature of human learning and increased complexity in the contemporary world. Studies are lacking, however, on models for and prevalence of …

The Diagnostic Fingerprint Of Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis, Stephanie Byrum

Theses and Dissertations

Bone is a common site for the spread of breast cancer. The identification of a highly discriminatory plasma protein profile could provide a tool for the early detection of bone metastasis. The purpose of this study was to identify a protein signature indicative of breast cancer metastasis to bone. In all, plasma was obtained from 76 breast cancer patients treated with second-line hormone therapy: 38 patients with clinical evidence of bone metastasis and high levels of the bone resorption marker N-Telopeptide (NTx), and 38 patients with no clinical evidence of bone metastasis and low levels of NTx. Samples were analyzed …

The Future Of Technology In Health Education: Challenging The Traditional Delivery Dogma, Mark J. Kittleson

Publications

Dr. Kittleson's Scholar Talk has been published in the American Journal of Health Education. He identifies issues with the profession in accepting on-line and distance learning as effective, when research clearly demonstrates that such approaches are superior to traditional classroom instruction. He calls for a movement within the profession to truly utilize such technologies.

A Measurement Of Coherent Neutral Pion Production In Neutrino Neutral Current Interactions In The Nomad Experiment, C. T. Kullenberg, S. R. Mishra, M. B. Seaton, J. J. Kim, X. C. Tian, A. M. Scott, M. Kirsanov, Roberto Petti, S. Alekhin, P. Astier, D. Autiero, A. Baldisseri, M. Baldo-Ceolin, M. Banner, G. Bassompierre, K. Benslama, N. Besson, I. Bird, B. Blumenfeld, F. Bobisut, Et. Al.

We present a study of exclusive neutral pion production in neutrino–nucleus Neutral Current interactions using data from the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS. The data correspond to 1.44 X 10⁶ muon-neutrino Charged Current interactions in the energy range 2.5 ≤ E _v & ≤ 300GeV. Neutrino events with only one visible π⁰ in the final state are expected to result from two Neutral Current processes: coherent π⁰ production, v + A

Parental Income, Assets, And Borrowing Constraints And Children's Post-Secondary Education, Jin Huang, Baorong Guo, Youngmi Kim, Michael Sherraden

Center for Social Development Research

This study is a test of two theoretical models linking parental economic resources to children’s post-secondary education, namely, short-term borrowing constraints and long-term family background. a series of structural equation models (SEM) are tested using data from a sample of young adults (N=650) in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). To further understand the role of parental resources in children’s education, analyses are conducted for both income and assets, with assets measured by liquid assets and net worth. Findings indicate that both income and assets have consistent long-term associations with children’s college entry. When measures of household wealth are …

Divorcing Speech Ability And Intelligence: Why The Two Can No Longer Be Strongly Linked Together, Savannah E. Sims

Senior Honors Theses

Human language is a complex cognitive ability that is still not fully understood by scientists. Except in rare occasions of extreme seclusion or disability, children are able to acquire language without explicitly being taught how. Though animals have the ability to communicate, their “languages” are not comparable to human language. Commonly, people believe that one’s language ability correlates directly to one’s intelligence. It is the purpose of this paper to explore that belief and test its veracity. My hypothesis is that this correlation does not exist or is at best weak. This will be done by looking at several language-related …

The Second Language Acquisition Of English Prepositions, Patricia J. Boquist

Senior Honors Theses

The acquisition of English prepositions is especially difficult for students learning English as a second language. This paper briefly discusses how prepositions are used in English and a few of the reasons prepositions cause problems for English language learners. It also analyzes the underlying system that governs prepositions and how this system might be represented to English language learners. Finally, it analyzes the current pedagogy and suggests a possible alternative to the status quo.

Efficiency And Cost Of A Hospital-Based Medical Home: Children With Special Healthcare Needs, Rebecca Olsen

Florida Public Health Review

The current study examined two years of pre-post hospital utilization data (the number of emergency room visits, number of unanticipated hospitalizations, and length of stay (LOS)) among forty-nine medically complex children to determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a comprehensive Hospital-Based Medical Home Model. Friedman nonparametric analysis was used to examine the pre-post differences for the non-normal distribution. Each of the cost-effectiveness measures (number of emergency room visits, number of unanticipated hospitalizations, and LOS) were found to be significantly lower post enrollment in the Hospital-Based Medical Home Model.
