Engaging children to voice their sense of place through location-based story making with photo-story maps

ABSTRACT Sense of place is neither linear nor rooted in time. One way for children to voice their sense of place is through location-based stories with plots structured in space, rather than time. Since mobile devices are already ingrained in the everyday lives of many children in the U.S., a mobile application offers a familiar medium to engage children in location-based story making. Here, we present photo-story maps, our approach to leveraging an existing story-map mobile application as a research tool to collect and analyze children’s stories about sense of place. We found that photo-story maps facilitate the organization of nonlinear location-based stories, promote an inclusive story-making process through a mobile application, support triangulation of varied digital story elements, and provide dynamic interview material. We suggest photo-story maps demonstrate the value of location-based story making and the potential of familiar mobile applications for reducing the barriers to including children in research.
Determinants of academic performance of accounting students in Ghanaian secondary and tertiary education institutions

ABSTRACT The paper investigates the determinants of academic performance of accounting students in Ghanaian secondary and tertiary education institutions. Data analysis is based on a survey of 500 accounting students enrolled at secondary and tertiary education institutions in Ghana. Using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, the results indicate accounting students’ performances are affected by both motivational (expectation and volition) and engagement and commitment (academic interest and learning attitude) factors. However, when the data is analysed separately by level of study, the results indicate that expectation has a different effect at each level of study. The results in respect of engagement and commitment remain the same. The implication of the differences in the effect of expectation and volition on academic performance at secondary and tertiary level suggest that accounting educational stakeholders should institute separate measures at each level relating to these factors to strengthen their effect on academic performance.
The Role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior as an Intervening Variable in the Influence of Servant Leadership and Employee Engagement on Performance

This study is aimed to reveal organizational citizenship behavior as an intervening variable in relation to the influence of servant leadership and employee engagement on employee performance. The study was conducted by testing and analyzing the data to if servant leadership and employee engagement indirectly influenced employee performance. Based on the primary data of 118 civil servants that was tested and analyzed, it has been proven that (1) servant leadership and employee engagement directly influence organizational citizenship behavior, (2) servant leadership, employee engagement and organizational citizenship behavior directly influence employee performance and that (3) organizational citizenship behavior becomes an intervening variable in relation to the influence of servant leadership and employee engagement on employee performance. Keywords— servant leadership, employee engagement, organizational citizenship behavior, employee performance
Implementation and usefulness of outcomes-based instruction among college of education students

This study aimed to determine the status of implementation of Outcomes-based instruction as mode of instruction employed by the instructors in terms of practices and environment and its level of usefulness in terms of academic, attitude and instruction as perceived by the College of Education students of Ifugao State University Potia Campus. This study used a descriptive method of research. Based on the results, Outcomes-based instruction was implemented in terms of practices and environment. The respondents assessed that it was useful in terms of academic and instruction. On the other hand, it was very useful in terms of attitudes. Based from the findings, if outcomes-based instruction was implemented, it was also useful. This indicated that there was a significant relationship between the implementation and usefulness of OBE with the r-value 0.69. An action plan was presented to address the indicators which obtained the least weighted mean in each aspect. The researcher recommends that both the faculty members and the students should have an extensive seminars and orientations about Outcomes-based instruction. Furthermore, conduct a continuous monitoring on its implementation and usefulness for further improvements. Also, the college shall conduct related activities which integrate a broader context of Outcomes-Based Instruction for the enhancement of the students’ skills.
In Two Minds: Similarity, Threat, and Prejudice Contribute to Worse Mindreading of Outgroups Compared With an Ingroup

We examined Turkish participants’ mindreading accuracy toward ingroup versus outgroup targets. Three hundred and fifty-four Turkish participants were randomly assigned to one of three target groups: Turkish, Syrian, or Norwegian. The mindreading accuracy for these targets was measured along with the perceived cultural similarity of the target to the ingroup, as well as prejudice and threat perception. Participants evidenced higher mindreading accuracy toward Turkish targets compared with Syrian and Norwegian targets. Mindreading accuracy for the Syrian and Norwegian targets did not differ, but lower perceived similarity to the Turkish ingroup significantly predicted lower mentalizing for Syrian and Norwegians. In the Syrian target group, lower perceived similarity interacted with lower education and higher prejudice, resulting in a further reduction in mindreading. For Norwegian targets, lower similarity impaired mindreading through an interaction with higher threat perception. Results indicate that even when mentalizing capacity is mature, intergroup factors are linked with the deployment of mindreading.
The mediating effect of school based management on climate, bureaucracy and effectiveness in Nigeria secondary schools

School effectiveness is a global issue among education stakeholders particularly in developing countries where difficulties in delivering quality education are widespread. However, internal and external factors in schools make school outcomes unpredictable, thus making bureaucracy an effective managerial and analytical tool which can be used to examine organizational structure and direct human behaviour. This study examined the effect of the school climate and bureaucracy on effectiveness by means of mediating the relationships through school-based management through a quantitative research of the cross-sectional survey type with population of 7,533 teachers. Four sets of instruments were adapted from the study of Ruane (1995), MacKay and Robinson (1966), Hoy and Ferguson (1985) and Bandur (2008) and were administered on a sample of 350 teachers in Nigeria secondary schools through a stratified random sampling of the proportionate method. The preliminary analysis of data was done through the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analysis with the Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS 23.0 version) was employed to test the fitness of data in relation to the constructs in the model and further confirm hypotheses generated for this study. The findings of this study revealed that, the underlying predictors were true measure of their respective constructs. There was a mediating effect of school-based management on bureaucracy and school effectiveness while the other path analysis revealed that school-based management did not mediate between school climate and school effectiveness. This study expands theory on bureaucracy as bright side and validates the assertion that, bureaucracy is required in public schools. It further proves that, even though climate is a key factor in school, the composition and structure of school differ across context. This can significantly increase the administration’s ability to collectively address member’s interest and further strengthen the school system.
Predicting collective action tendencies among Filipina domestic workers in Lebanon: Integrating the Social Identity Model of Collective Action and the role of fear

This study examined factors underlying collective action tendencies in a context of severe disadvantage and high repression. Drawing on the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA; van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears, 2008), we tested the roles of group-based anger, participative efficacy, group identity—SIMCA variables—but also fear. Although SIMCA has been widely used in various social contexts, little is known about how well it applies to severely disadvantaged groups in highly repressive situations. In the study of female Filipina domestic workers (N = 123) in Beirut, Lebanon, results provided partial support for SIMCA, such that identity indirectly and positively predicted collective action intentions via efficacy, but not anger. Importantly, fear modulated the paths from anger and efficacy to collective action intentions. Efficacy and anger positively predicted collective action tendencies among individuals low, but not high, in fear. These findings attest to the importance of studying political actions among underrepresented populations.
Mapping DSM-5 Section III Personality Trait Facets onto Section II Personality Disorders in Prison Inmates

Section III of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013) presents a hybrid model containing both categorical and dimensional features, entitled “Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders”. Prior to the introduction of this model, the DSM had yet to include specific maladaptive personality traits in the diagnosis of personality disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to examine the predictive validity of the alternative model’s 25 maladaptive personality traits to the 10 personality disorders of DSM-5. The initial group of participants consisted of 53,560 inmates admitted to the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) over a period of approximately nine years (September 2004 to August 2013). After screening the data for excessive denial of psychopathology and random responding, the final sample consisted of 39,961 prison inmates. Stepwise logistic regression, linear regression, and point-biserial correlation were used to examine the associations between the 25 personality facets and 10 personality disorders. The results generally showed that the proposed personality traits were predictive of their respective personality disorder; however, most personality disorders had at least one significantly associated non-proposed trait. Therefore, it can be concluded that parts of the alternative model have some validity, though revisions are warranted.
Educational Leaders’ Perceptions of Legal Preparedness

Educational leaders’ experiences with legal issues remain relatively unknown. Using an electronic survey, this study explored educational leaders’ (N = 441) experiences with legal issues and with perceived levels of legal preparedness. Results revealed that years of experience and ethics training courses variables were statistically significant with perceived levels of legal preparedness. The legal issues with the highest frequency reported by educational leaders included suspected child abuse, reports of bullying/harassment, and whether a student poses a danger to other students. Implications for educational leaders and educational training programs are provided.

Perceptions of knowledge and use of languages of indigenous and immigrant students in Basque schools / Percepción del conocimiento y uso de lenguas entre alumnado autóctono e inmigrante en la escuela vasca

Abstract The main objective of this study was to analyse the acquisition of languages by the immigrant students enrolled in the bilingual Basque school, in comparison with indigenous students. We have analysed both the family language of immigrant students as well as the knowledge, use and desire to know the two languages of the school: Basque and Spanish. On the other hand, we have measured the incidence of some variables, such as family language, the length of stay in the host country and the school language model. The sample was composed of 977 secondary school students, of which 145 were immigrant students enrolled in the Basque Autonomous Community. The results show the linguistic diversity among these students. The immigrant student’s family language, the linguistic model in which they are enrolled and the length of stay are decisive in the perception of knowledge, use and desire to learn the two languages of the school.
Professional development with universal design for learning: supporting teachers as learners to increase the implementation of UDL

ABSTRACT Although the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework has been effective in designing tools and lessons, implementation of the Framework to design entire learning environments possesses its own limitations in research. This paper describes a quasi-experimental study of the effects of a professional development program on teachers’ implementation of the UDL framework. The study examines a weeklong Summer Institute as the professional development intervention. The Summer Institute meets many criteria shown to make PD effective: (a) content-focused training, (b) active learning, (c) modelling of effective practices, (e) feedback and reflection and (g) sustained duration. Participants included teachers across all academic levels and roles who attended the Institute (n = 73) and teachers who had not attended the Institute (n = 70). Teachers were evaluated by building administrators using an annual Teacher Success Rubric observation, a measuring tool developed to measure teachers’ efficacy in UDL implementation. Those attending the Institute increased their implementation of UDL in the classroom more than those who did not attend the Institute, F(1, 141) = 4.87, p = . 03. , suggesting that the Institute positively affects participants’ UDL implementation. The authors conclude that the Institute models effective professional development for other districts implementing the UDL Framework.
EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERSONALITY TYPE, OFFICE TYPE AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

The aim of the study was to investigate how office type influences employee performance, and whether this is different for different personalities. Multiple regression was used in order to test the impact of personality and office type on employee performance. The data was collected from 406 employees working in higher educational institutions, with different office types in Bangalore, Karnataka by using convenience sampling technique. Respondents who were emotionally stable, extroverted and conscientious showed higher level of performance. Specially more emotionally stable respondents showed greater performance, specifically those working in flex offices. Extroverts shown greater performance in shared and cell offices than in open plan and flex offices. Conscientious people shown greater performance in shared and open plan offices.
Preferences in Senior High School Tracks of the Grade 10 Students

There are many influences that affect the preferences of grade 10 students in choosing a track to proceed to senior high school. Likewise, this study aims to identify influence of preference of a Senior High School track that is commonly encountered by the Grade 10 students in terms of Gender, Socio-Economic Status, Average academic grades, nature of parent’s occupation; and, strand and the level of influence of the respondent to be associated with preferences in choosing a track in senior high school in terms of family influence-decision; peer influence; financial condition; and employability. The research tool was a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire is composed of respondent’s profile and 10 statements to be rated. The factors fairly influence preferences of the senior high school. In terms of gender, male students consider their socio-economic status and their parent’s occupation as factors in choosing their track in Senior High School while female students consider their peers as a factor in choosing a track in Senior High School.
