Socio Economic Determinants of under Nutrition  among  Children  Aged Below Five Years: A Case of Arba Minch Zuria Woreda   Southern Regional State of Ethiopia
Creators: name: DAWIT DAGNE SHELETO
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This study is designed to investigate socio economic determinants of under nutrition in children
aged below five years in rural kebeles of Arbaminch Zuria Woreda. In order to achieve the
objectives, the study employed community based cross sectional study design based on the
data collected from 355 respondents by using multi stage simple random sampling technique.
To analyze the data both descriptive and econometric analysis were used. Therefore, result of
the study revealed that prevalence of under nutrition was estimated to be about 19.2%, 16.1%
and 8.5% in terms of stunting, underweight and wasting respectively. Besides this, a binary
logistic regression analysis illustrated mother’s education, decision making power of mother,
mother occupational status,  family size, birth interval among children, household food
insecurity status, utilization of credit facility, household wealth status, distance from health
services and child extra feeding practice were identified as factors significantly affecting under
nutrition in the study area.  Therefore, the study revealed that  large family size, low birth
interval among child,  household food insecurity status and unable to take extra feeding
continuously at child hood age were the main determinants for the complexity  of under
nutrition. Finally to overcome these problem, different program and policy interventions
should be designed with careful consideration of linkage of these factors.

description: An important challenge in silicon quantum electronics in the few electron regime is the potentially small energy gap between the ground and excited orbital states in 3D quantum confined nanostructures due to the multiple valley degeneracies of the conduction band present in silicon. Understanding the "valley-orbit" (VO) gap is essential for silicon qubits, as a large VO gap prevents leakage of the qubit states into a higher dimensional Hilbert space. The VO gap varies considerably depending on quantum confinement, and can be engineered by external electric fields. In this work we investigate VO splitting experimentally and theoretically in a range of confinement regimes. We report measurements of the VO splitting in silicon quantum dot and donor devices through excited state transport spectroscopy. These results are underpinned by large-scale atomistic tight-binding calculations involving over 1 million atoms to compute VO splittings as functions of electric fields, donor depths, and surface disorder. The results provide a comprehensive picture of the range of VO splittings that can be achieved through quantum engineering.

Teachers as Rural Educators.

Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2015

description: In the article, education is seen as a hierarchical cultural encounter between urban and rural values and ways of life. Good teachers do not only deliver curriculum, they also consider the needs and values of their students, as well as those of the local community. The article discusses how teachers’ competence, knowledge and attitudes can affect their teaching, and how attitudes may influence teachers’ approaches towards educational matters in rural settings. It examines some of the challenges teachers are up against if they are to integrate local culture, values and norms in national educational programs, in order to enhance a shared understanding of goals and intentions. I argue that rural schools need to develop pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning that consider rural settings. Cet article présente l’éducation comme une rencontre culturelle hiérarchique entre les valeurs et les modes de vie urbains et ruraux. Les bons enseignants ne font pas que livrer un curriculum, ils tiennent compte des besoins et des valeurs de leurs élèves et de la communauté locale. L’article traite de la façon dont la compétence, les connaissances et les attitudes des enseignants peuvent affecter leur enseignement, ainsi que la mesure dans laquelle les attitudes peuvent influencer les approches qu’ont les enseignants face aux enjeux éducatifs dans les milieux ruraux. L’article examine quelques uns des défis qu’affrontent les enseignants en voulant intégrer la culture, les valeurs et les normes locales dans les programmes pédagogiques nationaux pour appuyer une vision commune des objectifs et des intentions. Je maintiens que les écoles rurales doivent développer des approches à l’enseignement et l’apprentissage qui tiennent compte des milieux ruraux.

Parallel interaction-free measurement using spatial adiabatic passage

description: Interaction-free measurement is a surprising consequence of quantum interference, where the presence of objects can be sensed without any disturbance of the object being measured. Here we show an extension of interaction-free measurement using techniques from spatial adiabatic passage, specifically multiple reciever adiabatic passage. Due to subtle properties of the adiabatic passage, it is possible image an object without interaction between the imaging photons and the sample. The technique can be used on multiple objects in parallel, and is entirely deterministic in the adiabatic limit. Unlike more conventional interaction-free measurement schemes, this adiabatic process is driven by the symmetry of the system, and not by more usual interference effects. As such it provides an interesting alternative quantum protocol which may be applicable to photonic implementations of spatial adiabatic passage. We also show that this scheme can be used to implement a collision-free quantum routing protocol.

The Evolution of Isotope Ratios in the Milky Way Galaxy

description: Isotope ratios have opened a new window into the study of the details of stellar evolution, supernovae, and galactic chemical evolution. We present the evolution of the isotope ratios of elemental abundances (from C to Zn) in the solar neighbourhood, bulge, halo, and thick disk, using chemical evolution models with updated yields of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and core-collapse supernovae. The evolutionary history of each element is different owing to the effects of the initial progenitor mass and metallicity on element production. In the bulge and thick disk the star formation timescale is shorter than in the solar neighbourhood, leading to higher [alpha/Fe] ratios. Likewise, the smaller contribution from Type Ia supernovae in these regions leads to lower [Mn/Fe] ratios. Also in the bulge, the abundances of [(Na, Al, P, Cl, K, Sc, Cu, Zn)/Fe] are higher because of the effect of metallicity on element production from core-collapse supernovae. According to our predictions, it is possible to find metal-rich stars ([Fe/H]>-1) that formed in the early Universe as a result of rapid star formation. The chemical enrichment timescale of the halo is longer than in the solar neighbourhood, and consequently the ratios of [(C, F)/Fe] and 12C/13C are higher owing to a significant contribution from low-mass AGB stars. While the [alpha/Fe] and [Mn/Fe] ratios are the same as in the solar neighbourhood, the [(Na, Al, P, Cl, K, Sc, Cu, Zn)/Fe] ratios are predicted to be lower. Furthermore, we predict that isotope ratios such as 24Mg/25,26Mg are larger because of the contribution from low-metallicity supernovae. Using isotopic ratios it is possible to select stars that formed in a system with a low chemical enrichment efficiency such as the satellite galaxies that were accreted onto our own Milky Way Galaxy.

The study of the P4-ATPase, ATP8A2, investigating disease-causing mutants and methods for high throughput production and purification
Creators: name: Choi, Hanbin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Human diseases have been linked to genetic mutations, causing the inability of proteins to function properly. Of these proteins, membrane proteins are crucial for the function of a cell; thus, a mutation affecting these classes of proteins causes extensive harm. This study was focused on the phospholipid transporter P₄-ATPase, ATP8A2, investigating the effects of mutations associated with human diseases. Six associated mutants have been studied: I376M, K429M, K429N, A544P, R625W, and W702R. The study allowed us to differentiate between two classes of mutants: proteins which fold in a native-like conformation allowing export from endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but lacking activity; and proteins that are highly misfolded, retained in the ER, and are rapidly degraded by proteasomes. The well-studied P2-ATPases transport small ion substrates, whereas P4-ATPases transport much larger substrates across the plasma membrane (PM). ATP8A2 was further studied with its β-subunit, CDC50A, to develop a high expression system for protein structural studies. The use of 20 mM CHAPS and 0.04% GDN was the best combination of detergents to solubilize HEK 293F cells with sonication and stirring at 4°C for 45 minutes for maximal purification. Samples analyzed under a transmission electron microscope (TEM) were monodispersed and non-aggregated; however, the same peptidisc-reconstituted sample was aggregated by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Further studies are required to prevent aggregation during freezing of ATP8A2-CDC50A for analysis by cryo-EM.

description: Taking a spacetime average as a measure of the strength of singularities we show that big-rips (type I) are stronger than big-bangs. The former have infinite spacetime averages while the latter have them equal to zero. The sudden future singularities (type II) and $w-$singularities (type V) have finite spacetime averages. The finite scale factor (type III) singularities for some values of the parameters may have an infinite average and in that sense they may be considered stronger than big-bangs.

THE EFFECT OF INFORMAL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION ON URBAN  POVERTY REDUCTION: IN ARBA MINCH TOWN OF, ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: BENYAM TASSEW
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Informal sector has been found to be a critical instrument for reducing the poverty in urban
people. It is prominently used to improve the livelihood of urban households where it is believed
to be underexploited in research and hence is indispensible to examine its real effectiveness. To
this  end, this study aims  to assess the effect of informal sector on urban poverty  reduction. A
cross-sectional survey data collected from 235 urban households (96 participant and 139 non-
participant) using multi-stage sampling techniques from Arba Minch Town.  Both Descriptive
statistics and econometric model were applied for analysing quantitative data. PSM method was
employed to analyse the impacts. The result of the study  showed that  level of  education and
family size of households were found to have negative relationship whereas age of the household
head and access to remittance were found to have positive  contribution to poverty reduction.
Moreover results obtained from PSM show that participation in  informal sector  has  a
significant, positive and robust impact on the outcome variable measured using household
consumption expenditure. The sensitivity analysis also shows that the impact result estimates are
insensitive to unobserved selection bias and independent to  the chosen matching estimators.
Based on the result this study recommended that it is better off the government make some policy
and regulation for this sector in order to prevent the formal sector from unwanted competition
and Government should constrict strategies for informal sector to enhance to transform to
formal sector.

description: The assessment of Competency-Based Learning (CBL) generally lacks a foundation to guide the construction of instruments that accords the nature and goals of this educational model. The measurement instruments normally used in CBL only provide a numerical score with limited information about the levels of competencies reached. This research aims to outline an assessment model that gives room to infer the individual's level of achieved competencies. The study is grounded in the theory of experts and novices and employed a mixed methodology in order not only to discover the measurement of the levels of competency from a numerical perspective but also to qualitatively understand how the students achieve a certain level of expertise in a concrete disciplinary area. The focus of this research study was on problem solving using Excel. Five professors participated in criteria selection, problem design, and the assessment process. We concluded that CBL assessment can be implemented in a more integral way when supported by theoretical frameworks that permit instructors to assess students' achievements and give more effective feedback related to their strengths and weaknesses. L’évaluation de l’apprentissage basé sur la compétence n’a pas, de façon générale, de fondement pour guider la construction d’instruments qui cadrent avec la nature et les objectifs de ce modèle éducatif. Les instruments de mesure normalement utilisés en apprentissage basé sur la compétence fournissent uniquement une note numérique et des données limitées quant aux niveaux de compétences acquises. Cette recherche veut fournir un aperçu d’un modèle d’évaluation qui comporte une marge permettant de déduire le niveau de compétences acquises par les élèves. L’étude s’appuie sur la théorie des experts et des débutants. Elle repose sur une méthodologie mixte de sorte à découvrir comment mesurer les niveaux de compétence à partir de valeurs numériques, ainsi que comment comprendre, de façon qualitative, comment les élèves atteignent un certain niveau d’expertise dans un domaine concret. La recherche misait la résolution de problèmes en utilisant Excel. Cinq professeurs ont participé à la sélection des critères, à la conception des problèmes et au processus d’évaluation. Nous avons conclu que l’évaluation de l’apprentissage basé sur la compétence peut être mise en œuvre de manière plus intégrée quand elle est appuyée par des cadres théoriques permettant aux enseignants d’évaluer les performances des élèves et fournir de la rétroaction plus efficace sur leurs forces et leurs faiblesses.

Creators: name: JEMBER KEDIR BESHIR
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This paper uses a cross-sectional survey data of 379  randomly selected households in
ArbaMinchZuriaworeda to determine the mean willingness to pay (WTP) of farmers for crop
insurance. We used a technique of contingent valuation method to determine economic valuation
and purposive sampling technique are used to select sample household in the area. Both primary
and  secondary data  source were used  from three kebeles  (i.eGentakanchame,GentaBonke,and
Kola Shara)    in the study  area  it is  applied  statistical  descriptive  and  Econometric  probit
regression model to  analysis  the data.  Accordingly  we got a result that income, age and
education level significantly affect the household willingness to pay for crop insurancein the
same direction with the change in covariate and household sex, irrigation usage and saving habits
significantly affect the household willingness to pay for crop insurance in the opposite direction
of change in the covariates.
Finally,it is recommended that based on the analysis madethatEducation Level, Sex and saving
habit of the household has big marginal effect so that awareness creation among stakeholders has
to be focused on their relationship.

description: he objective of the research is to assess service quality dimensions and its effect
on  customers’  satisfactions  in  public  transport. To  this purpose  the  researcher
has  studied  the  service  quality  and  customer  satisfaction  of  Gamo  Gofa  zone
public  transport  using  service  quality  gap  model.  Non  random  sampling
technique was used to collect data from respondents in each 10 transport routes
and bus stations.  A total sample of 97 respondents and 20 key informants who
have  used  public  transport  and  knowledge  about  public  transport  service  in
Gamo Gofa Zone were taken as a respondent. It is concluded that passengers of
Gamo  Gofa  Zone  public  transport users  are  not  satisfied  with  the  perceived
services  of  five  quality  dimensions  of  the  model  and  it  enforce  the  public
transport providers to focus on passengers expectations. Public service providers
should  focus  on  improves  waiting  shelters,  benches,  showers;  concerned  legal
bodies should follow implementation of public transport proclamation rules and
regulations at all routes as well as supervisors and controllers should enforce to
implement  rules  and  regulations  when  violated  and  delivers  training  and
awareness  for  the  employees  to  handle  customers/passengers  in  good  manner.
Therefore;  the  contemporary  knowledge  and  skill  as  well  as  ethics  of  drivers,
conductors  and  other  service  providers  need  to  be  intervened  by  concerned
bodies.

DETERMINANTS OF WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR IMPROVED LIQIUD WASTE  MANAGEMENT IN ARBAMINCH CITY: The CASE OF CONDOMINIUM HOUSES
Creators: name: BIRUK ASSEFA
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The main objective of this study was  to  identify determinants of willingness to pay for improved  liquid
waste management in Arba Minch condominium house. The study used primary sources of data that was
collected by questionnaire and field observation while the secondary  data  were collected by using
organization profile and non-  published documents.  The researcher  used simple random sampling
technique. The sample size for the study was 277 randomly selected households in Arbaminch
Condominium Houses to determine thewillingness to pay of residents for improved liquid waste
management, and suggests mechanisms for cost recovery. The method of data analysis that was used by
the researcher was both descriptive and econometric analysis. The study used a probit regression model
to answer the basic research questions and objectives.
 The results of the probit model revealed that households age, distance from septic tank, amount of waste
water generated and employment negatively and significantly affect the willingness to pay of households
while household income level, frequency of waste water disposal and easy access to truck positively and
significantly affect the willingness to pay of households for improved liquid waste management. The
estimated monthly mean willingness to pay of the household for the improved liquid waste management is
38.00 birr per month and the total willingness to pay (revenue)of  the households in the study area is
found to be 32110 birr per month. That means the annual willingness to pay per household is 456 birr
while the total annual WTP of households in the study area is 385320 birr.
Therefore, based on the key outputs of the present study, there is greater demand for improved liquid
waste management practice in the study area and thus government has to work its best in improving the
services and then collect the money from the households at least for cost recovery which is very important
in a city where there is greater budget deficit.
Journey to Becoming a Thai English Teacher: New Perspective on Investigating Teacher Attrition
Creators: name: Prabjandee, Denchai
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2015

description: In this study, the author provides a unique perspective on teacher shortage by focusing on teacher retention, in terms of why teachers stay in the teaching profession, rather than focusing on teacher attrition, or why teachers leave the teaching profession. The change in perspective created an opportunity to study the journey of how teachers chose to become a teacher, which is a bridge between inspirations of becoming with inspirations of staying in the teaching profession. The findings revealed that teachers attributed their decisions to enter the teaching profession to destiny, pride, schooling, and motherly qualities. They also reported that they stayed in the teaching profession because of the students, a sense of belonging, a mission, and their hometown. This study contributes to teacher education programs because it raises awareness of how teacher educators could use these rich histories to educate student teachers who endeavor to enter the teaching profession. Cet article présente une perspective originale sur la pénurie des enseignants qui est centrée sur le maintien en place du personnel enseignant (pourquoi les enseignants restent dans la profession), plutôt que sur le départ des enseignants (pourquoi les enseignants quittent la profession). Le changement d’optique a permis d’étudier le parcours qui a mené les enseignants à choisir leur profession, ce qui lie le désir de devenir et le désir de rester membre de la profession. Les résultats indiquent que les enseignants attribuent leur choix de profession au destin, à la fierté, à leur scolarité et à des qualités maternelles. Ils ont également indiqué que ce qui les motivait à rester enseignants c’était les élèves, le sens d’appartenance, leur mission et leur ville d’origine. Cette étude contribue aux programmes de formation des enseignants en montrant aux formateurs comment puiser dans la richesse de ces parcours pour appuyer les étudiants en pédagogie.

Developing Culturally Responsive Teaching Practices in First Nations Communities: Learning Anishnaabemowin and Land-Based Teachings
Creators: name: Oskineegish, Melissa
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2015

description: First Nations schools in northern Ontario have the dual responsibility of providing students with the skills and foundation to thrive in their community as well as in higher education outside of their community. This responsibility requires teachers to be capable of developing and implementing lessons that support academic excellence and cultural enrichment. The findings within this article are from a study that asked experienced First Nations and non-Native teachers how non-Native teachers can learn to develop culturally responsive lessons in remote First Nations schools. Within the findings, Anishnaabemowin (Native language) and land-based activities are explored as rich sources for non-Native teachers to learn to develop culturally responsive lessons. The article concludes with a discussion of the importance of linguistic and cultural learning that is in relationship with [LR1] Elders, community members, and students. Les écoles des Premières Nations dans le nord de l’Ontario ont la double responsabilité de fournir aux élèves les habiletés et les assises pour qu’ils puissent s’épanouir à la fois dans leurs communautés et dans des établissements d’enseignement supérieur à l’extérieur de celles-ci. De cette responsabilité découle l’obligation des enseignants de développer et mettre en pratique des leçons qui appuient l’excellence académique et l’enrichissement culturel. Cet article porte sur une étude ayant demandé à des enseignants autochtones et non-autochtones d’expérience comment les enseignants non-autochtones des écoles des Premières Nations dans des régions éloignées pourraient apprendre à développer des leçons adaptées à la culture. Les résultats indiquent que le anishnaabemowin, une langue autochtone, et les activités rattachées aux ressources naturelles constituent d’importantes sources dans lesquelles les enseignants non-autochtones pourraient puiser pour créer des leçons adaptées à la culture. L’article conclut avec une discussion sur l’importance de l’apprentissage linguistique et culturel impliquant les Ainés, les membres de la communautés et les élèves.

Piloting a Web-based Practicum Support Tool: Associate Teachers’ Perceived Benefits and Drawbacks
Creators: name: Petrarca, Diana
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2015

description: This pilot study explored how a small group of associate teachers responded to a web-based learning tool created specifically to support them in mentoring teacher candidates during the practicum component of an initial teacher education program in Southern Ontario, Canada. The learning tool's content drew from the teacher education literature, and its development was grounded in constructivist learning theory, web-based learning literature, and reflective practice. Associate teachers found the learning tool flexible, convenient, easy to use, and although they appreciated the non-directive nature of the learning tool, finding time to access and interact with the tool proved challenging. Associate teachers benefited from accessing and interacting with the learning tool, to varying degrees depending on their prior experiences, with improving feedback processes and practices, supporting teacher candidate planning processes, and facilitating teacher candidate induction emerging as three key areas of enhanced understanding and practice. Two key drawbacks of the learning tool included lack of human interaction, and sufficient time to interact with the learning tool more deeply. Cette étude pilote s’est penchée sur la réaction d’un petit groupe d’enseignants associés travaillant dans le sud de l’Ontario, au Canada, face à un outil d’apprentissage électronique conçu spécifiquement pour les appuyer dans leur mentorat de stagiaires. Le contenu de l’outil d’apprentissage est tiré de publications sur la formation des enseignants, et son développement repose sur la théorie d’apprentissage constructiviste, la documentation d’apprentissage en ligne et la pratique réflexive. Les enseignants associés ont trouvé l’outil d’apprentissage souple, pratique et facile d’emploi. Ils ont apprécié la nature non directive de l’outil d’apprentissage, mais ont signalé qu’ils avaient éprouvé de la difficulté à trouver le temps d’accéder à l’outil et d’interagir avec celui-ci. Les enseignants associés ont profité de l’accès à l’outil et de l’interaction avec celui-ci, à divers degrés en fonction de leurs expériences préalables. Les trois domaines clés où les connaissances et la pratique se sont améliorées sont les suivants : de meilleurs pratiques et processus de rétroaction, un soutien accru aux processus de planification des étudiants en pédagogie et une intégration facilitée des étudiants en pédagogie. Deux inconvénients principaux de l’outil d’apprentissage se sont manifestés, notamment l’absence d’interaction humaine et un manque de temps pour interagir avec l’outil de façon plus étendue.

“It’s harder to catch a boy because they’re tougher”: Using Fairytales in the Classroom to Explore Children’s Understandings of Gender
Creators: name: Paterson, Kate
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2015

description: Traditional fairytales serve to socially construct gendered categories and reify dominant understandings of masculinities and femininities. Using reading groups and participant observations in an elementary school classroom, this article explores how children actively engage with gendered messages within fairytales—specifically examining children’s adherence to, and negotiation of, gender boundaries as demonstrated through their performances of gender within daily classroom discussions and activities. This article illustrates the diverse ways in which children engage with text and how they apply these messages to their own lives, work within its confines, and explore alternatives. Findings demonstrate the potential for educators to create an environment through which children are afforded the freedom to navigate gendered messages and discourses. Such initiatives may contribute to developing more inclusive learning environments and educational opportunities that challenge the perpetuation and reinforcement of long-established gender stereotypes in the classroom. Les contes de fées traditionnelles servent à construire des catégories sociales axées sur le genre et ils réifient les conceptions dominantes de la masculinité et la féminité. Reposant sur les groupes de lecture et les observations de participants dans une école élémentaire, cet article examine l’engagement actif des enfants avec les messages genrés dans les contes de fées, notamment la mesure dans laquelle les enfants respectent et négocient les frontières entre les sexes dans leur comportement pendant les discussions et les activités en classe. Cet article illustre les façons diverses dont les enfants réagissent au texte, mettent en pratique les messages qui s’y trouvent, fonctionnent dans ses limites et explorent des alternatives. Les résultats révèlent le potentiel pour les enseignants de créer un environnement dans lequel les enfants s’orientent en toute liberté face aux messages et aux discours genrés. De telles initiatives pourraient aider le développement de milieux d’apprentissage plus inclusifs et la création d’occasions pédagogiques qui rejettent le maintien et le renforcement de vieux stéréotypes liés au genre dans la salle de classe.

DETERMINANTS OF POVERTY AND EXTENTS OF INCOME  INEQUALITY IN ARBA MINCH TOWN, GAMO GOFA ZONE
Creators: name: TAMIRAT GETACHEW ASFAW
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This study primarily aimed to examine Determinants of poverty and Extents of income
inequality in Arba Minch  town, Gamo Gofa zone using logistic  regression model and
Distributive Analysis/Analysis Distributive /DAD/ with the help of data collected from
sample of 260  household heads,  from four sub city,  and  the study area was selected
purposively and from each kebele’s registry-frame, households were selected by random
sampling techniques  using systematic random sampling. By using Cost of Basic Need
/CBN/ approach and DAD  soft ware the general poverty line of study area was
determined to be birr 679 per adult equivalent per month and, based on this bench mark,
households were identified as poor and non-poor.  With this poverty line, 27 % of
populations in the study area were found to be poor with income short fall of 7.8 percent
and poverty severity index of 3.15 percent. Logistic regression result revealed that family
size, access to credit, household expenditure, marital status, education level, age and sex
of household head were major determinants of poverty in the study area. The extent of
income inequality in the study area was measured by Gini coefficient and computed by
DAD  soft was  to be  0.44 with high inequality  recorded. Poverty-income elasticity and
poverty-inequality elasticity in Arba Minch was -2.43 and 0.44, respectively. Therefore,
government promotes family planning; improve infrastructures and creating employment
opportunity. In general, higher income inequality had been registered in Arba Minch, the
poverty-income and poverty-inequality elasticity and the proportion of income  and
expenditure among the poor and non poor values had powers to draw attention to design
development interventions aiming at increasing the income of the poor.
From Thought to Words to Print: Early Literacy Development in Grade 2
Creators: name: Roessingh, Hetty
name: Elgie, Susan
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2015

description: This study examines the relationship of the underlying skills of printing, spelling and vocabulary choices as they influence the quality of writing at the end of Grade 2. Four classes of Grade 2 (N=85) writing in response to an expository prompt were scored holistically on a trait based rubric, then scored for spelling accuracy and control/legibility of printing. The samples were then profiled using public domain software to glean insights into the vocabulary children can marshal and mobilize to describe ‘the ideal zoo.’ The findings accord well with Berninger’s (1994) developmental constraint model of early literacy. The study makes a contribution in highlighting the need for explicit skills instruction (printing and spelling) and the emergent ability of ‘excellent’ young writers to take risks with vocabulary; to demonstrate understanding of register and genre requirements; and to effectively use pre-writing activity (sketching/drawing) as a concrete reference point for transposing thought to word to print. Cette étude porte sur l’influence des habiletés de base (écriture, orthographe, choix de vocabulaire) sur la qualité de la rédaction chez des élèves à la fin de la 2e année. Quatre classes d’élèves en 2e (N=85) ont rédigé en réponse à un texte informatif. On a d’abord évalué leurs rédactions dans une perspective d’ensemble avec une grille visant certains aspects, ensuite en notant l’orthographe et la lisibilité (dextérité avec le crayon). Par la suite, on a établi des profils à partir des échantillons et en utilisant des logiciels du domaine public de sorte à glaner des idées sur le vocabulaire que peuvent rassembler et utiliser les enfants pour décrire « le zoo idéal ». Les résultats cadrent bien avec le modèle développemental de Berninger (1994) axé sur les contraintes en littératie précoce. La contribution de l’étude consiste en soulignant la nécessité de l’instruction explicite des habiletés (écriture et orthographe) et en mettant en relief la capacité en émergence chez les « excellents » jeunes écrivains de prendre des risques avec le vocabulaire, de démontrer une compréhension des exigences liées au registre et au genre, et de mettre à profit les activités préparatoires (esquisse, dessin) pour transposer les idées en mots et ensuite en textes.
