A Study Of Changes In Students' Science Attitudes, Awareness And Achievement Across Three Years As A Function Of The Level Of Implementation Of Interactive-Constructivist Teaching Strategies Promoted In A Local Systemic Reform Effort., James Shymansky, Larry Yore, John Anderson

Educator Preparation & Leadership Faculty Works

This study explored the cumulative effect of three years of exposure to teaching strategies being promoted in a local school district's systemic reform on elementary students' attitudes towards school science, awareness of science careers, and science achievement. The reform effort, referred to as the "Science: Parents, Activities, and Literature" (Science PALs) program focused on incorporating children's literature and parent partners using an interactive-constructivist epistemology as its base. Individual teachers were rated by the school district's science coordinator on their use of specific Science PALs strategies. Student attitudes and awareness were assessed with a paper and pencil survey developed for this …

A Strategy For Rural Financial Market Reform: Applying The Financial Systems Approach In Ghana, Harlan M. Smith Ii, Abor Yeboah

Economics Faculty Research

We construct, using methods advocated in one strand of the Financial Systems Approach literature, a reform-and-renewal program for one of Ghana’s struggling Rural Banks--the Kaaseman Rural Bank. Questionnaire results, local informal financial practices, recent institutional innovations in Ghanaian finance, the experiences of successful “Nontraditional” rural finance institutions in developing countries, and the operating structure of the Rural Bank program indicate that this bank can implement a group-lending scheme that will reduce significantly its transaction costs and those of its customers. We thus demonstrate how the Financial Systems Approach can be employed to promote sustainable rural financial intermediation in a specific …

Enjoy The Donut: A Regulatory Response To The White Paper On Preventing Invasion Of The Great Lakes By Exotic Species, Sandi Zellmer

Nebraska College of Law: Faculty Publications

The adverse economic and environmental consequences associated with the invasion and establishment of exotic species have raised significant concerns among the Great Lakes community. In September 1999, the International Joint Commission (IJC) hosted a workshop on exotic policy, drawing upon the expertise of biologists, lawyers and public officials, to consider means of preventing exotic species invasions. The White Paper on Policies for the Prevention of the Invasion of the Great Lakes by Exotic Organisms served as the centerpiece for discussion at the workshop.

The White Paper concludes that economic initiatives, such as subsidies or taxation, would be the most viable …

Coverage Decisions Versus The Quality Of Care: An Analysis Of Recent Erisa Judicial Decisions And Their Implications For Employer-Insured Individuals, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Joel B. Teitelbaum

Health Policy and Management Issue Briefs

This Issue Brief, prepared for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, examines the evolution of this framework for analyzing health claims emanating from the conduct of ERISA-covered managed care arrangements and considers its implications for the provision of treatment for mental illness and addiction disorders. Both studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that managed care companies impose particularly rigorous controls over treatment for mental illness and addiction disorders. It is therefore perhaps not surprising that legal challenges to treatment decisions frequently involve individuals with these conditions. Consequently, to the extent that courts are in fact on the verge of …

The Role Of The Internet Entrepreneur In The Information Economy, Neal Hauser

Theses and Graduate Projects

The information economy and the Internet entrepreneur are two significant developments of the late 20th century. This theoretical study seeks to understand the connection between the two phenomena. From a perspective of leadership it is critical to understand the relationship between individual actors and a system, and the implications of their interaction on the world. The research question asks whether Internet entrepreneurs are active creators of the information economy, or are they a creation of the information economy?

Central to answering the research question are the theoretical concepts of active and passive human agency. Active human agency proposes that the …

Individual Or Shared Entrepreneurship: The Influence Of Personal Leadership Style, Susan M. James

Theses and Graduate Projects

A key issue faced by new entrepreneurs is selection of a business structure. Overwhelmingly, one of two options is chosen: sole proprietorship or shared partnership. Personal leadership style, encompassing personal values, an individual definition of success, and possession of entrepreneurial traits, impacts the ultimate decision. Through a woman's perspective, selection of a business structure through definition of personal leadership style is examined in this paper.

A Discussion Of Response Distortion In Personality Tests And Its Effect On Criterion Validity And Applicant Ranking In Employee Selection, Mary E. Stacke

Theses and Graduate Projects

Personality testing is widely used in the employee selection process, particularly to determine leadership potential for management positions. Recent research has established personality tests as potentially valuable predictors of job performance. However, a reliance upon personality testing in the employment setting raises a common concern about the prevalence of response distortion and its effect on criterion validity and applicant ranking.

This paper provides background information on personality definition and construct validity and then discusses the two primary types of response distortion, self-deception and impression management. Areas of focus include the prevalence of impression management in personality testing for employee selection, …

Mental Health Parity: National And State Perspectives 2000: A Report To The Florida Legislature, Bruce Lubotsky Levin, Ardis Hanson, Richard D. Coe, Sara A. Kuppin

Dean's Office Publications

By failing to appropriately treat adults and children with severe mental illness, we incur enormous social costs through payments for disability benefits (Medicaid, SSI, SSDI), increased medical expenses, accidents and suicides, avoidable criminal justice proceedings, lost productivity, and increased need for homeless shelters and services. People who are underinsured are forced by arbitrary caps and limits to increasingly rely on the public sector. By providing parity for mental health, Florida will bring mental health into the mainstream of health care and become a leader in dispelling the prejudice that surrounds treatment of persons with severe mental illness.

The Change Of Employment Structure In China's Urban Areas, Feng Xu

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The convening of the Third Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party's Eleventh Congress in late 1978 signaled the beginning of China's reform process. Since then, China has realized significant development in its economic and sociopolitical areas. The Chinese government implemented a gradual reform strategy to revitalize the Chinese economy. Step by step, the government granted greater autonomy to the enterprises and rural households to raise productivity. At the same time, China gradually steered its former centralized planning system toward a market-oriented direction. By introducing the market mechanism into its economy, China modified its development path and moved toward establishing a …
