The Nature Of Imagination In Pedagogy: A Qualitative Study Of An Elementary School Setting, Perry S. Shank

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The task of this dissertation is to assess the popular thought of teachers on the topic of imagination and uncover how they incorporate imaginative methods into their current teaching practices. I attempt to ascertain the origination of these current perspectives through an analysis of the imagination from a historical perspective. Through portraiture, a qualitative research tool, I examine how the imagination is currently engaged in an elementary classroom setting. The research questions that guided this inquiry were as follows: 1) What is the intention of teachers who utilize imaginative teaching methods/strategies, 2) what types of instructional practices, activities, and learning …

Sentencing And The Salience Of Pain And Hope, Benjamin Berger

Osgoode Legal Studies Research Paper Series

What would a jurisprudence of sentencing that was induced from the experience of punishment, rather than deduced from the technocracy of criminal justice, look like? Rather than focusing narrowly on the question of quantum, such a jurisprudence would be concerned with the character and quality of punishment. A fit sentence would account for pain, loss, estrangement, alienation, and other features of the offender’s aggregate experience of suffering at the hands of the state in response to his or her wrongdoing. This would be a broader, more resolutely political conception of criminal punishment. This article shows that the jurisprudence of the …

The Medical Tourism Index: Scale Development And Validation, Marc Fetscherin, Renee-Marie Stephano

Faculty Publications

Medical tourism is an estimated $100 billion dollar industry. Despite the increasing number of people, companies and countries involved in medical tourism, we know very little about the key drivers and how countries are perceived as medical tourism destinations. The purpose of this paper is to present the Medical Tourism Index, a new type of country-based performance measure to assess the attractiveness of a country as a medical tourist destination. We followed a rigorous multi-steps scale development procedure by using four empirical studies based on 4995 respondents. The MTI is a multidimensional construct with 4 dimensions (country, tourism, medical costs, …

The Transformation Of Trust In China’S Alternative Food Networks: Disruption, Reconstruction, And Development, Raymond Yu Wang, Zhenzhong Si, Cho Nam Ng, Steffanie Scott

Hungry Cities Partnership

Food safety issues in China have received much scholarly attention, yet few studies systematically examined this matter through the lens of trust. More importantly, little is known about the transformation of different types of trust in the dynamic process of food production, provision, and consumption. We consider trust as an evolving interdependent relationship between different actors. We used the Beijing County Fair, a prominent ecological farmers’ market in China, as an example to examine the transformation of trust in China’s alternative food networks. We argue that although there has been a disruption of institutional trust among the general public since …

The State Of Poverty And Food Insecurity In Maseru, Lesotho, Resetselemang Leduka, Jonathan Crush, Bruce Frayne, Cameron Mccordic, Thope Matobo, Ts’Episo Makoa, Matseliso Mphale, Mmantai Phaila, Moipone Letsie

Hungry Cities Partnership

This report on food insecurity in urban Lesotho is the latest in a series on Southern African cities issued by AFSUN. Like the previous reports, it focuses on one city (Maseru) and on poor neighbourhoods and households in that city. More than 60% of poor households surveyed in Maseru were severely food insecure. While food price increases worsen food insecurity for poor households, it is poverty that weakens the resilience of society to absorb these increases. This report argues that Maseru residents face specific and interrelated challenges with respect to food and nutrition insecurity. These are poverty; limited local livelihood …

Entrepreneurship And Inclusive Growth In South Africa, Zimbabwe And Mozambique, Jonathan Crush, Caroline Skinner, Abel Chikanda

Hungry Cities Partnership

While increasing attention is being paid to the drivers and forms of entrepreneurship in informal economies, much less of this policy and research focus is directed at understanding the links between mobility and informality. This report examines the current state of knowledge about this relationship with particular reference to three countries (Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe) and four cities (Cape Town, Harare, Johannesburg and Maputo), identifying major themes, knowledge gaps, research questions and policy implications. In many African cities, informal enterprises are operated by internal and international migrants. The extent and nature of mobile entrepreneurship and the opportunities and challenges …

Green Gold- A Cannabis Sativa L. Lucis Suitability Analysis For West Virginia, Delbert Christopher Cannoy

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Appalachia needs a way to sustainably develop. Cannabis Sativa L. may be a possible source of sustainable development for West Virginia. The goal of this study is the identification of possible sites for industrial hemp fiber cultivation areas, both the total agricultural potential and with current land use land cover classification limits, and which of these sites have the potential for acid mine drainage phytoremediation.

Using LUCIS classification and binary analysis, three major separate outputs were created answering the three study questions. The agricultural layer revealed that West Virginia can utilize hemp farming for 23.48% of the state. The second …

Predictors Of Quality Of Life Of Institutionalized And Community-Dwelling Elderly, Daisy R. Palompon, Marylou Ong

CNU Journal of Higher Education

This study determined what cognitive (educational attainment and cognitive ability) and non-cognitive factors (marital status, basic and instrumental activities of daily living, spirituality and social support) predict quality of life of among the elderly admitted in elderly institutions and community-dwelling elderly. A total of 147 elderly responded to the invitation as respondents (46 institutionalized and 101 community-dwelling). The findings revealed that among community-dwelling elderly only social support (non-cognitive) significantly correlated (with r=0.26; p-value=0.00) with quality of life. Among the institutionalized elderly educational attainment and cognitive ability (cognitive factors) and social support (non-cognitive) are significantly related to quality of life. Moreover, …

The Lived Experience Of Novice Clinical Instructors “Something New, Somewhere New, Someone New”, Antonieta G. Obiedo, Joni Inocencia F. Gonzaga, Jake Cañeda

CNU Journal of Higher Education

Nursing education in the Philippines has had its own share of fluctuations in the production of fresh graduates. A small portion of these fresh board passers has taken solace in the nursing academe who had expressed their need for clinical instructors. The rationale of the study was to understand the meaning of the novice clinical instructors’ lived experiences as they handle nursing students in their respective clinical assignment and learn the consequences of this phenomenon in the course of themes that would thoroughly described their experiences. This research utilized phenomenology to describe their experiences and meaning of the lived experiences …

The Mendicants’ Rap Poetry: Critique From The Margins, Jiolito L. Benitez

CNU Journal of Higher Education

This paper deals with the rap poetry performed by the mendicants aboard Public Utility Jeeps (PUJ) plying the streets of Metro Cebu. The rap poems which were collected either through audio recording during actual performances or through handwritten copies provided by the mendicants themselves were basically in Cebuano Visayan with intermittent code switches in Tagalog and English. The fourteen rap poems collected were translated into English. The rap poems were primarily intended as an apparatus of mendicancy. However, under critical examination, the mendicants’ rap poetry subverts the immediate pragmatic authorial intent and behaves as an autonomous text replete in critical …

The Howard B. Jefferson Papers, Howard B. Jefferson

Finding Aids

Howard B. Jefferson (1901-1983) served as third President of Clark University between 1946 and 1967. This collection consists of office records and manuscripts found among his papers. President Jefferson's career as a philosopher and educator spanned several decades. Many of the materials in this collection are hand-written remarks. Nevertheless, his comments address or reflect academic ideals, academic freedom during the post World War II decade, the expansion of higher education at Clark, and elsewhere, in the 1950's and 1960's, and the impact of the Vietnam War Era on higher education.

The George Hubbard Blakeslee Papers, George Hubbard Blakeslee

Finding Aids

George Hubbard Blakeslee (1871-1954) taught history and international relations at Clark University from 1903 until his retirement in 1943. Dr. Blakeslee created and edited the first journal devoted to the study of international relations: the Journal of Race Development (it was later renamed the Journal of International Relations and in 1922 it merged with Foreign Affairs). He also founded at Clark University in 1909 a pioneering series of conferences about international relations. Because Dr. Blakeslee was a leader in the academic study of international relations, he was a longtime advisor for the State Department, both while he was teaching at …

American Novelist Catharine Sedgwick Negotiates British Copyright, 1822–57, Melissa J. Homestead

Department of English: Faculty Publications

American novelist Catharine Maria Sedgwick had an unusually long career and her books were reprinted in Britain in a variety of circumstances and formats. Both her first novel, A New-England Tale (1822), and her last, Married or Single? (1857), appeared in London editions arranged by her or her American publishers, as did many of her books in between (including travel, children’s and conduct books). However, her works also appeared in unauthorized reprints. Sedgwick thus makes an interesting case study of how law and custom regulated the reprinting of American literary texts in Great Britain after 1820. Focusing on the British …
