The Nonwhite Speech Language Impaired Student Population: The "Cycle-Of-Silence" And The "Possessive Investment In Whiteness", Nicholas D. Hartlep, Antonio L. Ellis
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
Overall we feel strongly that one of the myriad goals of research is to positively effect change in the lives and educational experiences of all SLI students, keeping in mind that many who suffer and are silenced are students of color. This research is highly important given that research indicates that language impairment (such as SLI) is linked with youth suicide. This paper, noticing the underrepresentation of SLI research in multicultural texts, analyzes Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) data procured from the Data Accountability Center (DAC) (2011). Testing for racial differences amongst SLI students, it was found that Whites …

Aligning Voices, Urban Teachers And Leaders, Jess L. Gregory, Damon Lewis, Lori A. Noto, Ethan Margolis
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
Through a probabilistic functionalism model, this research sought to identify concordance and dissonance in the voices of urban educators. The educators surveyed were optimistic that changes at the building level can positively impact educational outcomes for students; along with the optimism was a sense of purpose and commitment. The synergy of teacher and leader voices in the data suggest that alignment is possible; while the lens model highlights the importance of empowering educators to improve efficacy, to compel choices that will heighten student success and drive change in societal expectations.

Item Response Theory (Irt) Analysis Of Item Sets, Liwen Liu, Fritz Drasgow, Rosemary Reshetar, Youngkoung Rachel Kim
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
We examined whether set-based items affected IRT model-data fit. We also evaluated fit after combining dependent items into composites and treating them as polytomous items. Analysis of the 2009 AP English Literature and Composition Exam showed that some of the item pairs had major violations of local independence. Model fit improved when we analyzed the data using composites. Our findings suggest that conducting IRT analyses on composites provides a viable approach to circumventing problems of local dependence for set-based items.
“It’S A Process”: An Initial Grounded Theory Framework For Success With Social Studies Simulations, Cory Wright-Maley
“It’S A Process”: An Initial Grounded Theory Framework For Success With Social Studies Simulations, Cory Wright-Maley
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
This research examined beliefs of two veteran middle school teachers about simulations in the social studies classroom. Using a grounded theory analysis, a framework emerged which details the ways these teachers went above and beyond standard practice with simulations in an effort to maximize their impact on students. The proposed framework aims to highlight the features of their practice, as revealed by the participants, which may help to improve teachers’ use of simulations. The analysis of this pilot study is intended as the first stage of an emergent theory on how to use simulations effectively in the social studies classroom.

Influencing Higher Education Pedogogy Through Focused Study And Peer Review, Mary B. Schreiner
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
Much research has been published on effective instruction and the use of Universal Design principles in inclusive classrooms at the pre-collegiate level; however, faculty in higher education settings are only beginning to tackle the instructional demands of post-secondary students with diverse learning needs. Utilizing classroom peer review as a means of both faculty development and collaborative research about effective teaching holds special relevance to those new to the professoriate.
Fitting-In: Sociocultural Adaptation Of International Graduate Students, Georgette P. Wilson
Fitting-In: Sociocultural Adaptation Of International Graduate Students, Georgette P. Wilson
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between sociocultural adaptation of international graduate students and selected demographic characteristics, and to explore the students’ perceptions of institutional support with regard to their adaptation. A three-phased, mixed methods approach was used to study international graduate students at a private, urban, mid-sized, Northeastern university. Preliminary discussion groups (N = 42), followed by a questionnaire (N = 129), and then follow-up focus groups (N = 11), resulted in 28 statistically significant findings and five major themes. These findings resulted in recommendations for: improving university communication …

Gender Differences In Engineering Classrooms: Sugar And Spice And Everything Nice?, Jennifer Walter, Candice Stefanou, Jonathan Stolk, Michael Prince, Susan Lord, John Chen, Katharyn Nottis
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
The purpose of this paper is to examine ways in which pedagogy and gender of instructor impact the development of self-regulated learning strategies as assessed by the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) in male and female engineering students. One hundred seventy-six students from four universities participated in the study. Within-group analyses found significant differences with regard to pedagogy and instructors’ gender on the learning strategies and motivation subscales as operationalized by the MSLQ. Male and females students reported significant post-test differences with regard to the gender of instructor and the style of pedagogy. The results of this study showed …
Collegiate Administrator Perceptions Of Organizational Culture: An Analysis Of Metaphors, Felice D. Billups
Collegiate Administrator Perceptions Of Organizational Culture: An Analysis Of Metaphors, Felice D. Billups
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
This study sought to characterize college and university administrator perceptions of organizational culture, their perceptions of themselves versus other subcultures, and their perceptions of themselves within the campus community. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, this research employed semi-structured individual interviews to explore cultural perspectives, using metaphor analysis to generate rich, detailed participant descriptions and perceptions. Participants representing the areas of admissions, student affairs, development, and planning comprised the cross-section of purposefully selected participants from ten private northeast institutions. Results may clarify the roles and effectiveness of administrators within campus communities, establishing them as a legitimate collegiate subculture.
Exploring Language As A Source Of Dif In A Math Test For English Language Learners, Minji K. Lee, Jennifer Randall
Exploring Language As A Source Of Dif In A Math Test For English Language Learners, Minji K. Lee, Jennifer Randall
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
English language learners (ELs) have shown lower performance in mathematics than non-ELs although mathematics is an area that uses the least amount of language among the subjects that are mainly tested. If this differential performance is due to the bias in test items, then validity of using ELs’ test scores in comparison to non-ELs’ is compromised. For this reason, studies have investigated whether the differential performance can be attributed to language load in the tests. The results of these studies were not consistent. Some studies did find its effect, whereas others did not. Some of the difficulties encountered by researchers …
Eliciting Student Judgments Of Intrinsic Difficulty For Studying Student Misconceptions In Solving Basic Mathematics Items, Eric Magaram, Jean Phanor, Charles Secolsky, Preston Hasbrouck
Eliciting Student Judgments Of Intrinsic Difficulty For Studying Student Misconceptions In Solving Basic Mathematics Items, Eric Magaram, Jean Phanor, Charles Secolsky, Preston Hasbrouck
NERA Conference Proceedings 2011
The misconceptions of developmental mathematics students in solving basic arithmetic problems are becoming a national crisis. If instructors better understood the conceptions that students have that lead to incorrect responses when solving arithmetic problems, instruction of the material presented to the students may improve. Four groups of five students were given five basic math questions for a total of 20 questions, and the only instructions the students were given was to solve the problems out loud and to please continue talking. Their answers were transcribed and the student responses were used to create solution strategies for each of the 20 …

Accuracy Of Educator Nominations In Identifying Students With Elevated Levels Of Anxiety And Depression, Jennifer Cunningham
Accuracy Of Educator Nominations In Identifying Students With Elevated Levels Of Anxiety And Depression, Jennifer Cunningham
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Internalizing disorders, specifically depression and anxiety, affect up to 18% and 33% of youth, respectively (Costello, Egger, & Angold, 2005b). Schools have become a major provider of mental health services to children, primarily in attempts to overcome barriers to receiving community services (Farmer, Burns, Philip, Angold, & Costello, 2003). As such, it is important that schools have effective mechanisms in place to accurately identify students who may be in need of such services. The current study examined the accuracy of one such method, educator nominations (including from both teachers and school-based mental health professionals) in identifying students who self-report elevated …
Depressive Symptoms And Relational Uncertainty As Predictors Of Reassurance-Seeking And Negative Feedback-Seeking In Conversation, Leanne K. Knobloch, Lynne M. Knobloch-Fedders, C. Emily Durbin
Depressive Symptoms And Relational Uncertainty As Predictors Of Reassurance-Seeking And Negative Feedback-Seeking In Conversation, Leanne K. Knobloch, Lynne M. Knobloch-Fedders, C. Emily Durbin
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
Integrative interpersonal theory implies that relational uncertainty may play a role in the reassurance-seeking and negative feedback-seeking behavior of people with depressive symptoms. We sought to extend the theory by (a) documenting how individuals with depressive symptoms communicate under conditions of relational uncertainty, (b) evaluating actor and partner effects, and (c) utilizing observational measures of reassurance-seeking and negative feedback-seeking. Sixty-nine romantic couples engaged in 50 minutes of conversation rated by independent judges. Multilevel modeling results indicated that the depressive symptoms of actors and partners were the primary predictor of an actor's reassurance-seeking, but an actor's relational uncertainty was the primary …

The Effect Of Exercise Mode And Intensity Of Submaximal Physical Activities On Salivary Testosterone To Cortisol Ratio And Α-Amylase In Young Active Males, Mohammad Ali Azarbayjani, Hoseyn Fatolahi, Mohammad Javad Rasaee, Maghsod Peeri, Roholah Babaei
International Journal of Exercise Science
We examined the effect of exercise intensity and mode on the acute responses of free testosterone to cortisol ratio and salivary α-amylase. We also evaluated the relationship between cortisol and salivary α-amylase. Ten healthy young active males participated voluntarily in this study in six single sessions. They exercised on a cycle ergo meter, treadmill, and elliptical instrument at intensities of 70% and 85% maximum heart rate for 25 minutes. Saliva samples were collected 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after each exercise session. No significant changes were observed for cortisol. Free testosterone to cortisol ratio increased during each exercise session …

“Resource Rich And Income Poor”: Payment For Access To Protected Areas In Nepal, Michal J. Bardecki, J. Michelle Cook
“Resource Rich And Income Poor”: Payment For Access To Protected Areas In Nepal, Michal J. Bardecki, J. Michelle Cook
Himalayan Policy Research Conference
This paper explores the economic valuation of protected areas in Nepal, specifically focusing on two recently published willingness to pay (WTP) studies conducted in the Annapurna region (Baral et al. 2008; Nepal 2007) and a contingent valuation study by the authors exploring tourists’ willingness to pay for access to Chitwan National Park (CNP) (Cook & Bardecki 2012) (Table 2). In each case the focus of the research was on foreign tourists.
