In Search Of More Mature Uses Of Data: Problematizing Education And Poetry, F. Todd Goodson
Educational Considerations
Alex Romagnoli’s article in this issue, a discussion of the use of quantitative metrics in education and baseball, provides a thoughtful discussion the limitations inherent in those metrics as well as ways they can be enhanced to provide more useful information. This manuscript extends Romagnoli’s manuscript with specific illustrations of the ways grade point averages can be interpreted in context along with a call for a much more nuanced approach to data by policy makers and decision makers.

The Intersection Of Gender, Media, And Policy: A Qualitative Analysis On Thai Newspaper Coverage Of Women In Agriculture, Morgan A. Richardson Gilley, Richie Roberts, J. Joey Blackburn, Kristin Stair
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Women empowerment and gender equality have been found to be statistically significant and positive predictors of global agricultural development. Therefore, reducing gender disparities can encourage economic progress and growth in developing nations. As such, determining effective ways to stimulate social progress and women’s empowerment has emerged as a critical need. One strategy used to raise the public’s consciousness about gendered issues in Thailand has been through mass media. In response, this study aimed to (1) determine to what extent Thailand’s newspaper coverage focused on topics related to women and the agricultural industry; and (2) describe how women in agriculture …
Keep Rural Schools Open: Position And Policy, Emily Norman
Keep Rural Schools Open: Position And Policy, Emily Norman
Online Journal of Rural Research & Policy
Rural schools are a central pillar in the communities in which they belong. They offer not only education for the community’s youth, but serve as a community space, educational location for all community members, and enhance new generations’ understanding of local history and current events. The schools ensure that education is accessible to everyone in the community by avoiding long commutes, employing numerous locals, and having smaller class sizes to better cater to individual student needs. While there are benefits to closing schools, often ones of financial nature, the loss of these schools is felt deeply within rural communities. There …

Policy Making In The Middle: Developing And Implementing Departmental And Institutional Policies, Dr. Alzada Tipton
Policy Making In The Middle: Developing And Implementing Departmental And Institutional Policies, Dr. Alzada Tipton
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
When it comes to departmental and institutional policies, department chairs frequently find themselves literally in the middle, tasked with implementing institutional policies coming from above and obligated to develop departmental policies that are needed for the department below. These policies can concern themselves with an almost unlimited range of topics, including curriculum and faculty issues, problems involving academic dishonesty and student complaints, and institutional initiatives such as cost savings and compliance directives. Department chairs can find themselves having to lead a reluctant department into implementing an institutional policy not of their own making, or they can find themselves having to …

A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Simulating Policy Options, James L. Phelps

A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Estimating Effect Size, James L. Phelps
A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Estimating Effect Size, James L. Phelps
Educational Considerations
The previous articles on class size and other productivity research paint a complex and confusing picture of the relationship between policy variables and student achievement. Missing is a conceptual scheme capable of combining the seemingly unrelated research and dissimilar estimates of effect size into a unified structure for policy analysis and decision making. This article builds a rationale for a unifying structure and consistent method of estimating effect size.
A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Considering Productivity-Related Research, James L. Phelps
A Practical Method Of Policy Analysis By Considering Productivity-Related Research, James L. Phelps
Educational Considerations
The basic notion underlying schooling is rather simple: Hire teachers to instruct students. From there, the tasks become more complicated. How many teachers should be employed? What assignments should the teachers be given, in the classroom or in a supporting role? What assistance should teachers receive from aides or volunteers?

Adult Education Research Conference
The responses of 63 adult literacy educators to an online survey suggest that professional development and training to meet the diverse contexts and practices in the field must attend to the embedded inequalities in access to quality literacy education for low income learners, and the marginalization of adult literacy work, which persists even as successive governments hail the importance of literacy education for citizenship and employment.

Build It But They May Not Come: Subjective Factors In Participation Decisions Among Under-Represented Groups, Ralf St. Clair
