Effects Of Self-Monitoring Intervention On Independent Completion Of A Daily Living Skill For Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders In China, Gabrielle Lee, Jianjun Cheng, Sheng Xu, Hua Feng, Zheqi Guo
Education Publications
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a self-monitoring intervention on the independent completion of dishwashing for three boys with autism (age 6, 7, and 8) in China. The self-monitoring intervention included visual task analysis, in vivo modeling, self-recording, video self-feedback, and reinforcement. A multiple probe across subjects design was used. Prior to the study, the children had limited or no dishwashing skills, nor did they receive any training on self-monitoring. All three children acquired dishwashing and performed the task independently without supervision one week after the intervention. Their parents were very satisfied with this intervention.
Renewing Textbooks To Align With Reformed Curriculum In Former Colonies: Ugandan School Mathematics Textbooks, Immaculate Kizito Namukasa
Renewing Textbooks To Align With Reformed Curriculum In Former Colonies: Ugandan School Mathematics Textbooks, Immaculate Kizito Namukasa
Education Publications
Several nations have reformed both their mathematics pedagogy and curriculum. The remaining challenge is to review teaching and learning resources to support the renewed pedagogy and curriculum. This paper responds to the question: What pedagogy and curriculum are depicted in textbooks used in Uganda? Ugandan textbooks were analyzed in terms of mathematics content structure and genre, and presentation of written and non-written voice and looks. Whereas certain Ugandan mathematics textbooks used the narrative form and others chose to eliminate the use of extensive text, these textbooks include common characteristics such as spiral coverage of mathematics content. A few …
An Emotional Skills Intervention For Elementary Children With Autism In China: A Pilot Study, Gabrielle Lee, Sheng Xu, Hua Feng, Gloria Lee, Shaoju Jin, Dan Li, Shuangshuang Zhu

Education Publications
The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of an emotional skills intervention on behavioral and emotional competence, as well as on communication for children with autism in China. Eight children (seven boys and one girl), aged 7 to 8, participated in this study. We used a pre and posttest group design. The intervention consisted of 10 group sessions and four individual sessions. Each group session had two or three children. The intervention curriculum consisted of emotion recognition, emotion recognition within context, self-expression of emotions, seeking help when encountering problems, and techniques for emotion regulation. Results indicated …
Social Capital In Higher Education Partnerships: A Case Study Of The Canada-Cuba University Partnership, Marianne A. Larsen, Clara I. Tascón
Social Capital In Higher Education Partnerships: A Case Study Of The Canada-Cuba University Partnership, Marianne A. Larsen, Clara I. Tascón
Education Publications
This article reports on the findings of a case study about the Canada-Cuba University Partnership (CCUP), a teaching, research and service partnership between individuals associated with a Canadian and Cuban University. The research question guiding the study was: “How do the relationships among individuals in the CCUP shape the partnership?” Our review of existing literature on higher education partnerships reveals the lack of literature focusing on the relationships among individual partnership members. Our study is framed by social capital as our theoretical approach and social network analysis as our methodological approach. These approaches enable us to map out the connections …

There are approximately 25 million refugees around the world, and over half of this 25 million are under the age of 25. While many refugees hold strong aspirations to attend higher education, about 3% of refugees have access due to political, social and economic challenges. The challenge is how to understand, support, and develop successful greater access to higher education for refugees.
Hannah And Her Sisters: Theorizing Gender And Leadership Through The Lens Of Feminist Phenomenology, Rita A. Gardiner Ph.D
Hannah And Her Sisters: Theorizing Gender And Leadership Through The Lens Of Feminist Phenomenology, Rita A. Gardiner Ph.D
Education Publications
This article explores how feminist phenomenology can add conceptual richness to gender and leadership theorizing. Although some leadership scholars engage with phenomenological and existential inquiry, feminist phenomenology receives far less attention. By addressing this critical gap in the scholarship, this article illustrates how feminist phenomenology can enrich gender and leadership scholarship. Specifically, by engaging with the work of four women existential phenomenologists - Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Iris Marion Young, and Sara Ahmed, the rich diversity of phenomenological inquiry is explored. First, Arendt shows the benefits of conceptualizing leadership as collective action, rather than as concentrated in one person, …
Gauging The Association Of Efl Learners’ Writing Proficiency And Their Use Of Metaphorical Language, Ha Hoang, Frank Boers
Gauging The Association Of Efl Learners’ Writing Proficiency And Their Use Of Metaphorical Language, Ha Hoang, Frank Boers
Education Publications
This study examines whether higher-proficiency learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) produce expository writing that exhibits a greater density of metaphorically used words and expressions than what is found in texts produced by lower-proficiency peers. A comparison was made between essays written by 257 undergraduate English majors at three different year levels at a university in Viet Nam. The proportion of metaphorical language making up these essays was indeed found to be positively related to the students’ year levels and also to the grades awarded to the essays by independent assessors. A closer inspection of the data revealed …
How And Why Strategy Instruction Can Improve Second Language Reading Comprehension: A Review, Deanna Friesen, Corinne A. Haigh
How And Why Strategy Instruction Can Improve Second Language Reading Comprehension: A Review, Deanna Friesen, Corinne A. Haigh
Education Publications
Increasingly, children enter the school system with a home language that differs from the language of the majority. Consequently, classrooms have students with diverse language backgrounds and teachers must develop reading comprehension instruction that meets the needs of all their students. To successfully plan instruction, it is critical for teachers to understand the strengths that second language learners (SLLs) bring to the classroom as well as the potential difficulties they face. Here we review the literature on reading comprehension development and utilize cognitive frameworks to describe the knowledge, skills, and processes involved during reading for meaning. We use these theories …
Our Culture Is Who We Are! “Rescuing” Grenadian Identity Through Musicking And Music Education, Danielle Sirek
Our Culture Is Who We Are! “Rescuing” Grenadian Identity Through Musicking And Music Education, Danielle Sirek
Education Publications
In this article I explore the relationships between identities and musicking in Grenada, West Indies, taking into account the understandings of community and nationhood that foreground and inform identity discourse in the Grenadian context. Through the dual lenses of music education and ethnomusicology, I analyze musicking and music education initiatives intended to “rescue” Grenadian identity and Grenadian values as articulated by an older generation of Grenadians and by governmental agencies. I argue that musicking in Grenada is intertwined with identity in complex ways, and that there is a perceived lack of transmission of folk musicking practices whose consequences extend well …
Cultural Context As A Biasing Factor For Language Activation In Bilinguals, Matthias Berkes, Deanna Friesen, Ellen Bialystok
Cultural Context As A Biasing Factor For Language Activation In Bilinguals, Matthias Berkes, Deanna Friesen, Ellen Bialystok
Education Publications
Two studies investigated how cultural context and familiarity impact lexical access in Korean-English bilingual and English monolingual adults. ERPs were recorded while participants decided whether a word and picture matched or not. Pictures depicted versions of objects that were prototypically associated with North American or Korean culture and named in either English or Korean, creating culturally congruent and incongruent trials. For bilinguals, culturally congruent trials facilitated responding but ERP results showed that images from both cultures were processed similarly. For monolinguals, culturally incongruent pairs produced longer RTs and larger N400s than congruent items, indicating more effortful processing. Thus, an unfamiliar …
Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition Through Viewing L2 Television And Factors That Affect Learning, Elke Peters, Stuart Webb
Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition Through Viewing L2 Television And Factors That Affect Learning, Elke Peters, Stuart Webb
Education Publications
Research has begun to demonstrate that L2 words can be learned incidentally through watching audio-visual materials. Although there are a large number of studies that have investigated incidental vocabulary learning through reading a single text, there are no studies that have explored incidental vocabulary learning through viewing a single full-length TV program. The present study fills this gap. Additionally, three word-related variables (frequency of occurrence, cognateness, word relevance) and one learner-related variable (prior vocabulary knowledge) that might contribute to incidental vocabulary learning were examined. Two experiments were conducted with Dutch-speaking EFL learners to measure the effects of viewing TV on …
Reflection/Commentary On A Past Article: “A Practical Iterative Framework For Qualitative Data Analysis”, Prachi Srivastava, Nick Hopwood
Reflection/Commentary On A Past Article: “A Practical Iterative Framework For Qualitative Data Analysis”, Prachi Srivastava, Nick Hopwood
Education Publications
This submission is a reflection by Srivastava and Hopwood on their earlier article, A Practical Iterative Framework for Qualitative Data Analysis, originally published in International Journal of Qualitative Methods in 2009, and selected for the journal’s special anniversary issue, “Top 20 in 20.” They discuss how they have applied the framework in their various studies since then, Srivastava, primarily in field-based international research in education and global development, and Hopwood, in education and health. Based on a brief analysis of the paper’s citations, they identify its impact to have been: in a wide variety of fields crossing disciplinary boundaries, studies …
Control, Constraint, Convergence: Examining Our Roles As Generalist Teacher Music Educators, Danielle Sirek, Terry G. Sefton
Control, Constraint, Convergence: Examining Our Roles As Generalist Teacher Music Educators, Danielle Sirek, Terry G. Sefton
Education Publications
This research explores the effects of institutional constraints on instructional practices in a preservice generalist teacher music education program in Ontario, Canada. Using Institutional Ethnography and document analysis of active texts, we, an adjunct and tenured professor, use our own experiences to elucidate the multiple points of control and constraint in which teacher education instructors operate. We examine the ways in which “official” documents, such as course outlines, activate institutional expectations and relations of power, and promote standardization (convergence). We explore factors that influence our curricular choices, pedagogical strategies, and occasional acts of resistance; and how these impact differently tenured …

A Feasibility Trial Of Mental Health First Aid First Nations: Acceptability, Cultural Adaptation, And Preliminary Outcomes, Claire Crooks, Andrea Lapp, Monique Auger, Kim Van Der Woerd, Angela Snowshoe, Billy Joe Rogers, Samantha Tsuruda, Cassidy Caron
Education Publications
The Mental Health First Aid First Nations course was adapted from Mental Health First Aid Basic to create a community-based, culturally safe and relevant approach to promoting mental health literacy in First Nations contexts. Over 2.5 days, the course aims to build community capacity by teaching individuals to recognize and respond to mental health crises. This feasibility study utilized mixed methods to evaluate the acceptability, cultural adaptation, and preliminary effectiveness. Our approach was grounded in Community-Based Participatory Research principles, emphasizing relationship-driven procedures to collecting data and choice for how participants shared their voices. Data included participant interviews (n=89), and surveys …
Examining Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition From Captioned Video: Does Test Modality Matter?, Frank Boers, Nurul Aini Mohd Jelani
Examining Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition From Captioned Video: Does Test Modality Matter?, Frank Boers, Nurul Aini Mohd Jelani
Education Publications
Previous comparisons of vocabulary uptake from captioned and uncaptioned audio-visual materials have almost consistently furnished evidence in favour of captioned materials. However, it is possible that many such comparative studies gave an advantage to the captioned input conditions by virtue of their use of written word prompts in the tests. The present study therefore examines whether aurally presented test prompts yield equally compelling evidence for the superiority of captioned over uncaptioned video. Intermediate EFL learners watched a ten-minute TED Talks video either with or without captions and were subsequently given a word recognition and a word meaning test, with half …

School Principals’ Job Satisfaction: The Effects Of Work Intensification, Fei Wang, Katina E. Pollock, Cameron Hauseman
Education Publications
This study examines principals’ job satisfaction in relation to their work intensification. Frederick Herzberg’s two-factor theory was used to shed light on how motivating and maintenance factors affect principals’ job satisfaction. Logistic multiple regressions were used in the analysis of survey data that were collected from 2,701 elementary and secondary school principal members of the Ontario Principals’ Council in Ontario, Canada. Approximately1,423 valid cases were used in data analysis. Results show that principals’ work intensification affects their job satisfaction. As a result of work intensification, motivating factors, such as workplace challenge, recognition from the employer, and work demand; and maintenance …
