Introduction Of Key Performance Indicators To The Dynamics Of Planned Change: A Modern Study, Tommy Wells

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

A private High Technology firm whose headquarters are located in the Midwest has just completed several upgrades to replace an in-house legacy application system in which the primary use was to track defects of the firm's custom made software. The firm's implementation of a third party's software suite to replace the in-house legacy application was studied using a case study method, which implemented key performance indicators to the change theory called "The Dynamics of Planned Change" introduced by Lippitt, Watson, and Westley. The key performance indicators were introduced as a way to determine if the firm's actions could be validated …

Gender, Masculinity, Femininity And Help Seeking In College, Heath Marrs, Ellen A. Sigler, Robyn D. Brammer

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

The current academic performance struggles of college men is gaining increasing research attention (Sax, 2008a, 2008b), but few studies have explored the possible impact of gender-related attributes such as masculinity and femininity on academic help-seeking behaviors and academic performance. In this study of 567 college undergraduates, students who classified themselves as androgynous on the Bem Sex-Role Inventory were more likely to engage in academic help-seeking behaviors than those classified as male sex-typed, female sex-typed, and undifferentiated. No significant differences were found for academic performance. These results highlight the importance of exploring the potential influence of gender-related constructs on academic behavior …

Frbr, Facets And The Discoverability Of Moving Image Materials In Libraries, Kelley Mcgrath

OLAC Conferences

This session will look at how the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model could be used to improve access to film and video. There will be a demonstration of a prototype end-user discovery interface (http:// blazing-sunset-24.heroku.com/) sponsored by OLAC and a discussion of a project using the XC Metadata Services Toolkit (http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/) to mine existing MARC data to populate this sort of interface. Participants will be asked to provide feedback and suggest future directions for this project.

Interview With Gertrude Queturas, Gertrude Queturas, California State University, Monterey Bay

Chinatown Renewal Project

Gertrude Queturas is an 86-year-old woman living in Salinas, CA and is an active and involved member of the Filipino community. Born and raised in Sarrat, Ilocos Norte, Philippines, Gertrude was immersed in a family full of teachers. Thus, she and her three brothers also pursued the profession, each gaining teaching degrees from the Philippine Normal University. With aid from her youngest brother, who had landed a job working for a Japanese airline and therefore had moved to live in Hawaii, Gertrude was able to find her place in America. Following her marriage in the early 1960’s, she was able …

Videorecordings Cataloging Workshop, Jay Weitz

OLAC Conferences

This session will cover sources of information, when to input a new record, special considerations for music videos, physical/technical descriptions, streaming video, and other topics to be determined by audience interest. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of the MARC 21 format for Visual Materials and AACR2 cataloging rules for videorecordings. Some of the basic changes that RDA will bring to the future of cataloging videorecordings may also be discussed.

Batchloading Serials And Other E-Resources: An Introductory Workshop, Bonnie Parks

OLAC Conferences

Electronic resources are now a key component of many libraries. We have long known that catalog records for individual resources facilitate discovery and access. However, as libraries continue to increase their acquisition of electronic resources by purchasing packages of serials, ebooks, and streaming media content, cataloging individual titles isn’t always a possibility. Instead, libraries often rely upon outside sources for their MARC records and load records in large sets. This workshop introduces those new to batch record loading to some practical tools and workflow strategies to manage their records more effectively. Topics covered include: what to look for in vendor …

Effective Elementary Mathematics Teachers: A Cross-Cultural Perspective, Rochelle Goldberg Kaplan

NERA Conference Proceedings 2012

The purpose of this research is to report on an investigation of cognitive decision-making processes used by effective elementary mathematics teachers working in a variety of cultural, language, and socio-economic settings. It was hypothesized that several processes would be documented across teachers in all schools. It was also hypothesized that processes might differ depending upon the type of school and students involved. My long range interest is in finding out what makes elementary mathematics teachers effective in order to add to the body of knowledge in this field and use the findings of this study in the service of better …

Characteristics Of The Questioning Techniques Used By Effective Elementary Teachers During Mathematics And Language Arts Lessons, Rochelle Goldberg Kaplan, Geraldine Mongillog, Dorothy Feola

NERA Conference Proceedings 2012

This presentation examined the questioning techniques used by two effective second grade New Jersey teachers, one during a mathematics lesson and the other during a language arts lesson. The mathematics lesson took place in an urban bilingual school and the language arts lesson took place in a monolingual suburban school. The extent to which the teachers used similar or different questioning techniques across the subject areas and school communities was examined. The presentation shares results of the analyses of the videotaped lessons and suggests a framework for describing key factors contributing to the teachers’ effectiveness.

Multidisciplinary Research: Science And Reading Instruction In Third Grade, Margaret Lally Queenan

NERA Conference Proceedings 2012

This participant observer research study focused on the reading comprehension strategies third grade readers used when reading downloaded texts about cheetahs and online texts about tigers. State standards and the district’s curriculum called for third grade students to identify the structures and behaviors that help animals survive in different environments. Using participant observation; that is, teaching the third grade classes and analyzing the artifacts produced as a result, including student products such as online and offline notes and researcher products such as lesson plans and field notes, the researcher asked and answered: What are the challenges and benefits of applying …

Faculty Curriculum Styles: Do Style Preferences Influence The Preparation Of Aspiring Teachers?, Ralph Jasparro, Felice D. Billups

NERA Conference Proceedings 2012

This study explored university education faculty perceptions of their curriculum styles and their influence on the preparation of aspiring teachers. Using Miller’s (2011) curriculum inventory, a sequential explanatory mixed methods design included (N =11) graduate education faculty who self-identified with one of four schools of curriculum design: linear, holistic, laissez-faire, critical theorist. A follow-up focus group was conducted with N = 7 participants, where their views and theories of curriculum were shared regarding effective design and implementation of curriculum, and the transmission of personal theories to aspiring teachers. Results may be valuable to those who prepare aspiring teachers and …

Gearing Up To Gear Up: Four Perspectives On Early Implementation Considerations For Gear Up, Sousan Arafeh, Joy Fopiano, Deb Risisky, Norris Haynes

NERA Conference Proceedings 2012

GEAR UP, a federally-funded pre-college outreach program, strives to provide academic and other supports to middle and high school students and their families to help them prepare for, and pursue, higher education. GEAR UP was established in 1998 by President Clinton through Title IV of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). This paper utilizes a phenomenological frame to explore certain key considerations involved in the initial implementation phases of a GEAR UP grant. Four distinct qualitative phenomenological perspectives from Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) faculty members involved in a current State of Connecticut GEAR UP …
