Teaching Citation Politics Through Literature Review Topographies: Towards Cultivating Relational Writing Practices, Mairi Mcdermott
Teaching Citation Politics Through Literature Review Topographies: Towards Cultivating Relational Writing Practices, Mairi Mcdermott
Feminist Pedagogy
Feminism teaches how power works and circulates through our often-unquestioned everyday practices. Since becoming a professor, I have committed myself to this feminist teaching by demystifying--and reimagining--habituated practices, relations, and expectations in higher education that produce and are produced through cis-hetero-patriarchal capitalist White supremacy. Since literature reviews and citation practices are core materials scholars work with, I invite doctoral students to consider different ways these materials can be engaged in efforts to craft transgressive knowledges and worlds through our research. In this article, I describe an assignment designed to disrupt hegemonic patriarchal inheritances in the conventions of writing literature reviews …

Examining The Factor Structure Of A Subjective Well-Being Measure In A Medical Student Sample, Hoan Do, Mary Wurm-Schaar, Gordon Brooks
Examining The Factor Structure Of A Subjective Well-Being Measure In A Medical Student Sample, Hoan Do, Mary Wurm-Schaar, Gordon Brooks
Mid-Western Educational Researcher
Accreditation standards for U.S. medical education programming require that training programs promote trainee wellness and well-being, although constructs such as psychological distress and depression commonly serve as proxies for well-being. A direct measure of subjective well-being would be invaluable to inform programming efforts to promote medical trainees’ well-being and advance the study of the well-being construct itself. This study investigated the structural validity of subjective well-being as measured by the Well-Being Scale in a sample of 548 osteopathic medical students. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that subjective well-being is best represented by a bifactor model with a general …

Comparing Cognitive Theories Of Learning Transfer To Advance Cybersecurity Instruction, Assessment, And Testing, Daniel T. Hickey Ph.D., Ronald J. Kantor
Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice
The cybersecurity threat landscape evolves quickly, continually, and consequentially. This means that the transfer of cybersecurity learning is crucial. We compared how different recognized “cognitive” transfer theories might help explain and synergize three aspects of cybersecurity education. These include teaching and training in diverse settings, assessing learning formatively & summatively, and testing & measuring achievement, proficiency, & readiness. We excluded newer sociocultural theories and their implications for inclusion as we explore those theories elsewhere. We first summarized the history of cybersecurity education and proficiency standards considering transfer theories. We then explored each theory and reviewed the most relevant cybersecurity education …

基于二分算法构建的非参数 Cd-Cat 选题策略及终止规则, 李 俊杰, 郑 慧婧
Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊
CD-CAT 能对学生进行诊断和评估,对提升教学效果具有重大意义。但在课堂教学情景中,无法像大规模测评可以使用大量样本对项目参数进行准确估计,此时非参数 CD-CAT 成为唯一可行的选择。相比于参数 CD-CAT,非参数 CD-CAT 起步较晚,且非参数CD-CAT的研究主要集中在选题策略方面,但已有的非参数选题策略存在效率不高的缺点,且非参数终止规则则是鲜有研究。因此本研究提出了两种更高效的选题策略:非参数动态二分选题策略(NDBS)和一般非参数动态二分选题策略(GNDBS),以及一种非参数二分终止规则(NDBI)。模拟研究结果表明:(1)所有条件下,NDBS的模式判准率均高于NPS,因此,在完全没有样本时,可选用NDBS作为选题策略。(2)在大多数情况下,GNDBS的性能优于其他选题策略,因此,在具有少量样本时,可选用GNDBS作为选题策略。(3)在变长测验中,当研究目的是获得更准确的分类结果时,可以降低NDBI规则的临界值;相反,可以适当提高NDBI和GNDBI规则的临界值。

Case Study Exploring Training For Assembly Of God Pastors, Robert W. Shader
Case Study Exploring Training For Assembly Of God Pastors, Robert W. Shader
Doctor of Education (Ed.D)
Abstract Pastors in the Assembly of God fellowship have several options regarding types of pastoral training. Conducting a multiple case study qualitative study, the researcher interviewed 12 pastors with 2-6 years of ministry experience who had primary training in a specific category: higher education, on-the-job training, hands-on internships, or credentialing programs. The researcher utilized a transformational leadership framework and asked questions related to idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. The findings suggest each training method (higher education, hands-on internship, on-the-job training, and credentialing programs) equipped pastors to demonstrate aspects of transformational leadership.
