On The Front Foot: An Australian Health And Physical Education (Hpe) Perspective., Tj Lynch Dec 2014

On The Front Foot: An Australian Health And Physical Education (Hpe) Perspective., Tj Lynch

Plymouth Institute of Education

When considering the theme ‘Towards building a new sport system’, it is important that as for any structure, there are strong foundations. Sport is a logical extension of a school’s physical education (PE) program (Commonwealth of Australia, 1992). Furthermore, research suggests that the optimum time for children to learn and refine their motor skills and to be introduced to positive PE experiences is during preschool and early primary school years. It is therefore argued that to build an ideal sport system, as suggested by the title, we need to ‘begin on the front foot’ through quality Health and Physical Education …

Linking Photosynthesis Physiology Of Upland Hardwood Reproduction To Ecology And Silviculture In The Arkansas Ozarks, Kutcher K. Cunningham Dec 2014

Linking Photosynthesis Physiology Of Upland Hardwood Reproduction To Ecology And Silviculture In The Arkansas Ozarks, Kutcher K. Cunningham

Theses and Dissertations

Oak (Quercus) forests in the Arkansas Ozarks have been important culturally, ecologically and environmentally for centuries. Historically these forests were fire dependent and dominated by oak species. In the past century, fire suppression and land management have caused these forests to densify. As a result, oaks are increasingly less abundant following disturbance in natural hardwood stands. Many applied ecological studies have explored methods and practices to maintain oak species in newly developing stands. This study attempted to link the mechanistic physiology of oak and non-oak reproduction to the applied ecological work. Varying stand conditions were generated in an undisturbed mature …

Reading, Argumentation, And Writing: Collaboration And Development Of A Reading Comprehension Intervention For Struggling Adolescents, Martha Susan Grogan

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to develop and implement a new reading intervention with fifth grade struggling readers that included reading across multiple texts, constructing arguments from the texts, engaging in oral argumentation, and writing argumentative essays. A Convergent Mixed Methods design incorporated both quantitative and qualitative data to determine if teacher collaboration influenced the implementation of the new intervention and its subsequent effect on students' reading and writing outcomes. The intervention focused on a 10-week argumentative unit based on the American Revolution War. Group 1 teacher implemented the intervention in a whole-class setting, plus collaborated with the researcher …


Biological Processing Rhythms In Beginning Readers: A Spectrographic Examination Of Oral Reading Behavior On Texts Of Increasing Difficulty, Laura Juhl Dec 2014

Biological Processing Rhythms In Beginning Readers: A Spectrographic Examination Of Oral Reading Behavior On Texts Of Increasing Difficulty, Laura Juhl

Theses and Dissertations

A qualitative comparative research design grounded in the theory of biological processing rhythms (Holdaway, 1979, Miner, 1903) described oral reading behaviors in different levels of beginning early readers during oral reading of texts of increasing difficulty. Spectrographic analysis with waveform data triangulated with running record data, Slosson Oral Reading Tests (SORT-R3) (Slosson & Nicholson, 1990) and transcriptions allowed an in-depth analysis into the behaviors. Three research questions guided the analysis: (1) How do biological processing rhythms operate with different levels of beginning readers? (2) How do biological processing rhythms, as examined through waveforms of oral reading behavior, operate as beginning …


A Comparative Study Of The Impact Of Extended Year Education Versus Traditional Year School Calendars In Reading And Mathematics In A Cohort Of Low Socio-Economic African American Students, Sophia Yvonne Williams Dec 2014

A Comparative Study Of The Impact Of Extended Year Education Versus Traditional Year School Calendars In Reading And Mathematics In A Cohort Of Low Socio-Economic African American Students, Sophia Yvonne Williams

Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to examine the impact extended year education versus traditional year calendars for African American males and females located in a Southern state school district. The school district consists of approximately 26,000 students and thirty elementary schools. The district has 27 of the elementary schools operated as traditional schools and three were operated as extended year education schools. The study only used a small number of the schools within the district. The study utilized the casual-comparative design with an ANCOVA statistical method to determine the differences between an extended versus traditional year models and students who took …

Overcoming Literacy Barriers Through Interventions: A Mixed Methods Study, Cynthia Whitfield Owens

Theses and Dissertations

A convergent parallel mixed methods study was conducted to examine the effect of multiple layers of writing instruction for accelerating the literacy achievement of at-risk kindergarten students. Participants included 33 teachers and 151 kindergarten students from 9 schools. The effects of Treatment 2 Group (whole class, small-group writing instruction in the classroom, and Interactive Writing Intervention) and Treatment 1 Group (whole class and small-group writing instruction in the classroom) were compared to a Control Group (whole-class instruction). Additionally, a case study design with constant comparative analysis was used to examine the practices and instructional decisions of two expert intervention teachers …


Discussing Issues Of Information Technology In Country Development, Rami Al-Gharaibeh, William Acar, Andrew G. Kotulic, Thomas J. Froehlich Dec 2014

Discussing Issues Of Information Technology In Country Development, Rami Al-Gharaibeh, William Acar, Andrew G. Kotulic, Thomas J. Froehlich

Communications of the IIMA

The development of countries with laggard economies is becoming a global concern. The harmful complications of poverty and illiteracy are beginning to show up outside those countries in violent forms. The precautions against this migration of harm are splitting the world apart at the same time as technology may become able to bring it together. Over the last few years, information technology (IT) has grown very fast and is still spreading into all aspects of life in developed countries. The recent research in those countries is bringing more evidence that IT is a leveraging tool for business and not a …


Groundwater Lowering And Stream Incision Rates In The Central Appalachian Mountains Of West Virginia, Usa, Gregory S. Springer, Holly A. Poston, Ben Hardt, Harold D. Rowe Dec 2014

Groundwater Lowering And Stream Incision Rates In The Central Appalachian Mountains Of West Virginia, Usa, Gregory S. Springer, Holly A. Poston, Ben Hardt, Harold D. Rowe

International Journal of Speleology

Surface channel incision rates are of broad geomorphological interest because they set the boundary conditions for landscape change by affecting changes in local relief and hillslope angles. We report groundwater table lowering rates associated with subsurface Buckeye Creek and the surface channel of Spring Creek in southeastern West Virginia, USA. The mountainous watersheds have drainage areas of 14 km2 and 171 km2, respectively. The lowering rates are derived from U/Th-dating of stalagmites and the paleomagnetostratigraphy of clastic sediments in Buckeye Creek Cave. The oldest stalagmites have a minimum age of 0.54 Ma and we use a minimum …

Much Of Society's Unrest Caused By Barrage Of Negative Stereotypes In Films, Anthony Major

UCF Forum

Everybody has a perception about what the image of art should say – or not say – but few have an informed opinion. The power of the communicative arts transcends the mere power to inform. That power is used in film, television, newspapers, radio, art, magazines, music, theatre and the new social media network as a means of influencing and shaping attitudes by providing images and opinions.
