Conditions For Change: Implementing Principal Talent Management Policies And Practices In Three Districts, Evangeline Chiang

Teaching and Learning Theses and Dissertations

This mixed methods case study examines how central office leaders in three school districts implemented policy and practice changes to more effectively recruit, support, and retain school principals. By examining interview, focus group, survey, and artifact data from three districts actively working to implement and improve principal talent management practices and policies, this study sought to identify what conditions best explained variation and progress on implementation. Using Honig’s (2006) implementation framework that examines how policy, people, and places situate implementation effectiveness, I sought to understand how policy reform information flows among people, particularly between the central office staff and school …

Vocational Expectations From Adolescence To Early Adulthood: An Integrative Exploration Of Their Formation, Consistency, Change, And Predictive Value, Leah Hope Schultz

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Career expectations show predictive validity for future job selection and work outcomes above traditional vocational interest inventories, yet are rarely tracked longitudinally. The current study explored characteristics of adolescents’ freely reported career expectations by examining their formation, typical trajectories of their development, individual differences in their development, and their utility as predictors of life outcomes. Though some past research has examined longitudinal trends in adolescents’ career expectations, this was the first study to assign dimensional RIASEC scores to participants’ expected occupations rather than a single categorical code. Using data from 21,444 students in the High School Longitudinal Study (HSLS 09:16; …

A Continuum Of University Student Volunteer Programme Models, Kirsten Holmes, Megan Paull, Debbie Haski-Leventhal, Judith Maccallum, Maryam Omari, Gabrielle Walker, Rowena Scott, Susan Young, Annette Maher

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

University student volunteering is prevalent in Western countries, but has rarely been critically evaluated by researchers. Little is known about the different ways in which student volunteer programmes are organised. Using a matrix constructed from the publicly available websites of all Australian universities, and 60 interviews with key stakeholders at six universities, this paper identifies nine different models of student volunteer programmes. The models show the different ways in which universities, faculty and students are involved in organising student volunteer programmes. These nine models are presented in a continuum of increasing direct management by universities. In addition to identifying the …

A Diary Study On The Exercise Intention-Behaviour Gap: Implications For The Design Of Interactive Products, Daphne Menheere, Mathias Funk, Erik Van Der Spek, Carine Lallemand, Steven Vos

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Increasingly aware of the importance of active lifestyles, many people intend to exercise more. One of the main challenges is to translate exercise intentions into actual exercise behaviour, the so-called intention-behaviour gap. To investigate barriers and enablers that affect this gap, we conducted a 7-day diary study with 16 participants. In this study, participants indicated what their exercise intentions and behaviour were per day, and whether and why they changed retrospectively during the day. Through the diary study, we gain insights into (i) the intention-behaviour interplay, and (ii) the experienced barriers and enablers that influence this interplay throughout the day. …

Research On Matching Measure And Simulation Of Matching Between Sports Industry Technology Innovation Persons And Organizations Under Fuzzy Information, Gao Yan, Jinhai Sun

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: For the matching between sports industry technology innovation persons and organizations under fuzzy information, a new matching modal was proposed. The factors of sports industry technology innovation persons-organization fit were researched. The qualitative key influence factors were quantified using indirect measure based on interval number complementary judgment matrix of the experts. The matching fit modal of sports industry technology innovation persons and organizations was constructed from the perspective of organizational. It is to verify the feasibility and availability of the matching fit model by using a simulation example.

Exploring Intercollegiate Adaptive Athletics Program Structures, Breida Liana Hill

All Theses

The purpose of this study was to explore intercollegiate adaptive athletics program structures in the United States.

Stratton, Terence Moriarty, Chad M. Kerksick, Gerald T. Mangine, Alyssa J. Holmes, Matthew Lee, Marvin R. Endito, Christine M. Mermier

Kinesiology

Fish oils (FOs) are rich in omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have been purported to enhance recovery of muscular performance and reduce soreness post-exercise. However, the most effective FO dose for optimizing recovery remains unclear. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of FO supplementation dosing on the recovery of measures of muscular performance, perceived soreness, and markers of muscle damage following a rigorous bout of eccentric exercise. Thirty-two college-aged resistance-trained males (~23.6 years, 71.6 kg, 172.1 cm) were supplemented with 2, 4, 6 g/day (G) FO or placebo (PL) for ~7.5 weeks. Following 7 weeks …
