description: Восстановление вертикальной позы – важный этап реабилитации пациентов с патологией головного мозга. Знание нюансов постуральной регуляции с учетом причины повреждения центральной нервной системы сделает восстановительное лечение более адресным. Цель – сравнить регуляцию вертикальной позы пациентов с травматической болезнью головного мозга и больных после инсульта в бассейнах головного мозга. Материал и методы. На компьютерном стабилографе «Траст-М Стабило» производства ООО «Неврокор» обследовали 81 пациента в позднем восстановительном периоде травматической болезни головного мозга и 119 – после перенесенного инсульта. Проводили пробы Ромберга и оптокинетическую. Учитывали амплитуду максимумов сагиттальной и фронтальной составляющих; отношение длины статокинезиограммы к площади; площадь; скорость перемещения проекции общего центра давления; показатели затраченной работы и стабильности; 60 % мощности спектра по каждой из составляющих; девиации в сагиттальной и фронтальной плоскостях. Результаты. У пациентов, перенесших травму головного мозга, амплитуда максимумов, площадь статокинезиограммы была выше, а работа и скорость – больше, чем у больных, перенесших инсульт. Спектр колебаний у данной категории пациентов был смещен в сторону более низких частот. Особенно заметно различие по вертикальной составляющей. Закрывание глаз, как и внесение зрительных помех, приводило к однонаправленному, но разному по величине изменению параметров стабилограмм в обеих группах пациентов: увеличению площади и длины статокинезиограммы; работы, необходимой для поддержания позы, и скорости перемещения общего центра давления. В группе пациентов с травматической болезнью головного мозга эти изменения были выражены сильнее. Заключение. Пациенты с травматической болезнью головного мозга стояли менее устойчиво, чем пациенты после инсульта: для поддержания вертикальной позы первым требовалось совершить большую работу, главным образом, по перемещению центра масс по вертикали. Депривация зрительного входа, как и воздействие зрительных помех, снижает устойчивость пациентов в обеих группах; в группе лиц с травмой головного мозга зависимость от зрительного входа выражена сильнее.

description: Phase insensitive optical amplification of an unknown quantum state is known to be a fundamentally noisy operation that inevitably adds noise to the amplified state [1 - 5]. However, this fundamental noise penalty in amplification can be circumvented by resorting to a probabilistic scheme as recently proposed and demonstrated in refs [6 - 8]. These amplifiers are based on highly non-classical resources in a complex interferometer. Here we demonstrate a probabilistic quantum amplifier beating the fundamental quantum limit utilizing a thermal noise source and a photon number subtraction scheme [9]. The experiment shows, surprisingly, that the addition of incoherent noise leads to a noiselessly amplified output state with a phase uncertainty below the uncertainty of the state prior to amplification. This amplifier might become a valuable quantum tool in future quantum metrological schemes and quantum communication protocols.

description: The Learning Partnership (TLP) initiated a Family and Community Engagement Strategy (FACES) initiative in three Ontario communities to foster active and responsive relationships among community partners and enhanced family engagement in transitions to school. A case study research design, grounded in participatory action research, was used to describe the processes and activities undertaken by the three communities. Findings indicate that social capital (Block, 2009) was increased through a unified focus on the needs of children, strong local leadership, collaboration among community partners, and effective strategies embedding FACES into the culture of the community. Le Partenariat en éducation a initié une stratégie (Family and Community Engagement Strategy – FACES) dans trois communautés en Ontario de sorte à favoriser, d’une part, des relations actives et dynamiques parmi les partenaires de la communauté et, d’autre part, l’implication de la famille dans la transition vers l’école. Suivant le plan de recherche d’une étude de cas reposant sur la participation active, nous avons décrit les démarches et les activités entreprises par les trois communautés. Les résultats indiquent que le capital social (Black, 2009) a augmenté en raison d’une orientation commune concentrée sur les besoins des enfants, un leadership local solide, la collaboration entre les partenaires communautaires et des stratégies efficaces intégrant FACES dans la culture de la communauté.

description: Нейрогенный шок (НШ) является разрушительным следствием позвоночно-спинномозговой травмы (ПСМТ). Возникающая жизнеугрожающая недостаточность кровообращения является не только фактором риска развития полиорганной недостаточности, но и вторичного ишемического повреждения спинного мозга (СМ), уменьшая вероятность восстановления неврологических функций. От понимания физиологии острой фазы НШ зависят эффективные стратегии интенсивной терапии. Цель исследования – представить современные сведения о нейрогенном шоке при позвоночно-спинномозговой травме. Материал и методы. Используя базы данных PubMed и Scopus, а также информацию, имеющуюся в прочих интернет-ресурсах, по ключевым словам отобраны научные публикации в англои русскоязычных источниках за период 2009-2020 гг. Результаты. Представлены результаты как больших многоцентровых исследований, так и данные, основанные на небольших группах пациентов и отдельных клинических наблюдениях. Освещены вопросы, касающиеся эпидемиологии и патофизиологии НШ, клинических критериев НШ, а также информация о времени манифестации и современных подходах к интенсивной терапии НШ. Заключение. На сегодняшний день уже известно, что НШ имеет уникальный механизм развития, характеризующийся различными видами гемодинамических нарушений, требующих различных подходов к их управлению. Вместе с тем, до настоящего времени критерии, соответствующие состоянию НШ, не являются общепринятыми. Неясными остаются вопросы распространенности, времени начала и продолжительности НШ. Это объясняет явную неоднородность сведений, представленных в научной литературе, и определяет потребность проведения проспективного крупномасштабного многоцентрового исследования.

description: An environmental and economic feasibility assessment was performed by designing and analyzing the effects of a bypass road for a heavily trafficked corridor in Middletown, New Jersey. The analysis determined the monetary and environmental impacts associated with the traffic delays of a no-build condition, and compared them to three traffic alternatives of the proposed condition. A hydrologic study was completed to determine the flood risk of the project area and gain a holistic understanding of the downstream environmental impacts of the proposed construction. The research sought to determine the levels of delay required to economically and environmentally justify the construction of a bypass road in the project area, with potential future research including the development of a universal cost-benefit analysis methodology for bypass structures.

By showing that any Lagrangian subvariety has a unique lift to a contactification, we associate to X a triangulated category of regular holonomic microdifferential modules. If X is compact, this is a Calabi-Yau category of complex dimension dim X+1. We further show that regular holonomic microdifferential modules can be realized as modules over a quantization algebroid canonically associated to X.

description: We discuss a conjecture concerning the enumeration of nonsingular matrices over a finite field that are block companion and whose order is the maximum possible in the corresponding general linear group. A special case is proved using some recent results on the probability that a pair of polynomials with coefficients in a finite field is coprime. Connection with an older problem of Niederreiter about the number of splitting subspaces of a given dimension are outlined and an asymptotic version of the conjectural formula is established. Some applications to the enumeration of nonsingular Toeplitz matrices of a given size over a finite field are also discussed.

Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: This research examines whether the ordering of the difficulty of exams can influence student beliefs about their academic abilities and the impact of these beliefs on their performance. The ordering of the difficulty of test items has shown to affect performance. Study One (n=91) examined college student differences in reaction to a difficult and an easy exam. Results suggest that the ordering of difficulty of exams may influence self-efficacy of students. Study Two (n = 178) examines whether this self-efficacy (and other beliefs about the self) can impact college student performance on actual exam scores over time. The results of this research suggest that the ordering of difficulty of assignments can affect student’s self-efficacy about the class. It finds that the impact on self-efficacy may affect overall performance early in the class but that this impact may not be long lasting. This is due to the positive evidence received later in the course that may contradict initial low performance and give confidence in the student’s ability to achieve high performance. The results have implications for segments of the student population that may be disproportionately impacted by self-perceptions such as the first generation student. Cette recherche examine dans quelle mesure le classement des examens selon leur difficulté influence les croyances des étudiants par rapport à leurs habiletés académiques d’une part, et l’impact de ces croyances sur leur performance d’autre part. Il a été démontré que le classement des items d’un examen en fonction de leur difficulté a une incidence sur la performance. Étude #1 (n=91) porte sur les différences dans les réactions d’étudiants d’université à un examen difficile et à un examen facile. Les résultats portent à croire que l’ordre de présentation des examens selon leur difficulté peut influencer l’auto-efficacité des étudiants. Étude #2 (n=178) évalue dans quelle mesure cette auto-efficacité (et d’autres croyances relatives à soi) influence, à la longue, la performance aux examens des étudiants universitaires. Les résultats semblent indiquer que la présentation des examens en fonction de leur difficulté peut affecter la perception d’auto-efficacité chez les étudiants et que cet impact peut avoir des incidences sur la performance globale au début du cours mais que celles-ci peuvent être de courte durée. Ce phénomène s’explique par les indications positives qui peuvent venir contredire le faible rendement initial et rehausser la confiance des étudiants en leur capacité de bien réussir. Ces résultats comportent des implications touchant les secteurs de la population estudiantine qui pourraient être affectés de manière disproportionnée par leur image de soi, tels les étudiants de première génération.

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTIUNITES OF WETLANDS: THE CASE OF CHLELEKA WETLANDS, SOUTH ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: DANIEL DATA ALAHO
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Cheleleka wetland  is  situated in Lake Hawassa Watershed of Central Rift Valley of
Ethiopia.  It has been contributing significant role  in providing ecosystem functions and
producing a number of products and services-that are socially and economically
important to the local community. The study was conducted to assess the challenges and
opportunities of Cheleleka Wetland; Different methods were used to collect primary and
secondary data. The primary data were collected from 156 farm household; interviews
and focus group discussions with different social groups, and key informants .The sample
respondents were drawn from 3 kebeles adjacent to the Cheleleka wetlands. Moreover,
land use/land cover change detection analysis was also  made using satellite images
(1985,  2000,  and 2016) and ground truth. The result indicates that more than 83% of
people depend on the wetlands for different types of subsistence. In recent years,
however, these wetlands are degrading progressively due to natural and human  factors.
Farmland expansion, over use of water for irrigation and other development intervention
like industrial zone expansion are among the major threats of wetland management. The
land use/land cover change detection analysis of satellite images between 1985 and 2016
depicts that the wetland under the study is continually converted to  farm  lands. Mainly,
grassland  and  Lake  Cheleleka  around the  Cheleleka  wetland  were also reduced from
83.74% in 1985 to 28.23% in 2016 and Settlement from 0.00% in 1985 to 0.20% in 2016
respectively.  Despite, the high dependence of the local people on Cheleleka wetland
resources for their livelihood; however, these resources are under continuous threats.
Managing the wetland on the basis of basin concepts and involving local people in
alternative income generating activity has been suggested as a means of reducing
pressure on land use and also reducing the threat to Cheleleka wetlands .Furthermore,
the local policy working on wetlands promulgations of regulations to govern wetland
uses, integrated planning for water, land, resources utilization as well as wetland change
detection are recommended for future regeneration of the resource.

description: Women face challenges to participate in managerial position due to several factors.  The
purpose of the study was to assess factors that hinder women’s participation in lower to top
management  position. It  was based on evidences that representation of women in leadership
position was low, both in the country and in the institution. Thus, this thesis aimed to identify
possible strategy to increase women’s participation in all managerial position in the university.
To attain this objective both qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed. The
data was collected through interview and questionnaire with employee at different managerial
position as well as with other employee who were not in managerial position; interview with
gender and human resource office directors to identify the current gender practice and assessing
the factor for minimal representation of women in management position of the university. Both
probability and non probability sampling techniques were employed. From the total sample size
of 356, 85.6 % were responded. The study revealed that the current position of women in
managerial position was minimal. Major factors for this were lack of delegation,
recommendation, educational gap, socio-cultural factors, gender stereotype, male dominance
and dual responsibility of women. Based upon the findings, the study suggested that there should
be affirmative action, equal opportunity policy, elimination of gender stereotype, providing
legislative and infrastructural support and special training program as necessary action to bring
significant change in women participation in managerial position.

description: The main purpose of this study is to investigate E-Banking and its effect on customer satisfaction.
This study was conducted on customers of  CBE, DB, AIB, UB, and BOA  under Arba Minch city
branches In connection  to this, structured questionnaire have been distributed to 100 selected
samples but analysis was made based on the data collected from 98 respondents. Analysis and
interpretation of the data was conducted by using descriptive and inferential statistical tools with
the help of SPSS.  According to the regression output the fulfillment and system availability  were
negatively  related  and  statistically  significant  with  customer  satisfaction.  Efficiency,
compensation  and  contact  were  positively  related  to  customer  satisfaction  and  statistically
significant.  And  responsiveness  statistically  insignificant  and  has  no  contribution  to  customer
satisfaction.  All  of  these  seven  independent  variables  make  83.6%  of  the  contributions  for
customer  satisfaction  in  the  Private  and  public  commercial  banks  under  Arba  Minch  city
branches. The  commercial banks  should understand that the contributions of these variables are
collectively  significant  to  enhance  and  add  values  for  customer  satisfaction  in  their  bank.  In
addition to this, the study identified challenges for the growth of e-Banking system. This were;
poor telecommunication infrastructure, lack of regulatory framework, lack of technical support,
lack of well-trained personnel, fear of cybercrime and security issue, frequent power interruption
were the main challenge for the growth of E-banking system.

description: Human resources which are commonly seen as the most valuable assets of any organizations are
a  means  for  competitive  advantage  and  play  core  roles  to  achieve  organizational  objectives.
Reward  management  is  one  of  the  ways  used  by  organizations  for  attracting  and  retaining
suitable  employees  as  well  as  facilitating  them  to  improve  their  performance.  Based  on
expectancy theory, employees expect a certain reward for their input in the organization and the
influence  this  expectation  has  on  employee  performance,  as  depicted  by  the  instrumentality
theory,  is heavily rely on the kind of reward management practices used by their organizations.
Researches reveled that  reward management practice has  a direct relationship with employee
performance; and it is more desirable in the service sectors like EEU. As the research conducted
in the case company  and the need assessment study done by the organizations head office,  the
reward  management  practiced  did  not  motivated  the  employees.  In  addition  the  researcher
observed that there were problems with employees to serve customers with the needed speed and
with  fairness  and  justice,  which  indicated  the  case  organization  faced  performance  problem.
This  study  aimed  to  determine  the  effect  of  reward  management  on  employee  performance  in
Ethiopian Electric Power Utility, Arbaminch District. The study used descriptive survey research
design.  The  targeted  population  were  EEU  Employees  in  Arbaminch  District,  and  using
stratified proportionate sampling method 63 respondents were selected from both office and field
workers,  and the respondents from each stratum were  selected using simple  random sampling
method.  The  study  used  primary  data  which  was  collected  using  structured  questionnaires  &
unstructured interview, and secondary  data that was  collected from the annual reports, manuals
and  policy  documents  of  the  organization.  The  collected  data  was  sorted  for  validity  and
reliability,  and  then  coded.  Techniques  such  as  tabulation,  percentages  and  charts  were
employed, and  data  was quantitatively analyzed using mean and standard deviation followed by
a correlation  and regression  analysis.  The  study  results revealed that  though the  organization
uses a RM  practices  to motivate its employees; it was not  blended in line with the magnitude of
their  effect  on  employee  performance.  Finally,  standing  on  study  findings,  recommendations
were provided to the organization to adjust its reward policies in order to align the RM practices
with their respective correlation that could optimize employee performance.

Understanding modes of carsharing : differentiations between one-way and two-way member adoption and utilization
Creators: name: Lempert, Rainer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: In post-industrial economies, 40% of all GHG emissions are from transport services while three-quarters of the population live in urban centers. Provision of more efficient transportation services is a key to reducing GHG emissions, urban air pollution, and traffic congestion. Carsharing is often viewed as an environmentally efficient alternative to private car ownership. Many municipal governments have adopted this belief and support carsharing through various accommodations and subsidies. These policies often apply equally to all services that fall under the carsharing umbrella, including one-way, or free-floating carshare and two-way, or round-trip carshare. This thesis attempts to differentiate these two modes of travel with the goal of informing nuanced transportation policy. Results from a survey in Vancouver, Canada showed that one-way and two-way carsharing members have different motivations for carsharing and travel patterns. One-way members self-report that they carshare for convenience, using shared vehicles twice as frequently and private vehicles three times as frequently as two-way members. Two-way members choose carsharing for financial savings and a more efficient lifestyle. They tend to walk and bike more often than one-way members and the overall Vancouver population. Overall, two-way members are more likely to seek efficiency and frugality in their transportation habits and are superior planners. Analysis of trip data in Metro Vancouver leads to further differentiations. One-way vehicles are used for commuting, having highest utilization during morning and afternoon commute hours. A dominant spatiotemporal flow of one-way vehicle is observed, with vehicles leaving residential neighborhoods towards business-oriented neighborhoods during morning commute hours then reversing the trip during evening commute hours. A preliminary framework is introduced to determine whether a one-way trip is a replacement or first mile/last mile complement to other forms of transportation, in particular transit. Two-way vehicles are most utilized on weekends and show no geographic biases in neighborhood idle times Metro Vancouver. Municipalities may consider these differences between one-way and two-way carsharing of relevance for policy construction.

description: For the family of graded lattice ideals of dimension 1, we establish a complete intersection criterion in algebraic and geometric terms. In positive characteristic, it is shown that all ideals of this family are binomial set theoretic complete intersections. In characteristic zero, we show that an arbitrary lattice ideal which is a binomial set theoretic complete intersection is a complete intersection.

description: A substantial improvement in the accuracy of G-dot tests (The dot denotes the time derivative.) would make it realistic to speak in terms of a measurement of G-dot, rather than merely a smaller upper bound on |G-dot|. We show that the accuracy delta|G-dot/G| \approx 10^-14 yr^-1 may be sufficient, given the accuracy of other cosmological parameters, to observe effects predicted by higher dimensions theories and, hence, to discriminate among different models. The Ġ design goal for the SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) mission is delta(G-dot/G) \approx 10^-14 yr^-1.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of achievement in mathematics in elementary schools in New Brunswick (Canada). Data Collection: Both teachers and school leaders (N = 111) completed a questionnaire on their practices and on school functioning. Findings: Multiple regression analyses revealed that the students’ achievement in mathematics was determined by prior achievement, urban school attendance, and teaching quality. Implications: To counter the socioeconomic constraints on achievement in mathematics, taking a closer look at teaching quality represents a promising research area. The implications of this study on education policies and research are discussed. L’objectif de cette étude était d’identifier les indicateurs de la réussite en mathématiques dans les écoles primaires du Nouveau-Brunswick (Canada). La cueillette de données s’est réalisée par un questionnaire administré aux enseignants et aux directions d’école (N=111) portant sur les pratiques d’enseignement et le fonctionnement de l’école. Des analyses de régression multiple ont révélé que le rendement des élèves en mathématiques était déterminé par les résultats antérieurs, la fréquentation d’écoles en milieu urbain et la qualité de l’enseignement. Comme stratégie pour contrebalancer les contraintes socioéconomiques qui agissent sur le rendement en mathématiques, la qualité de l’enseignement représente un domaine de recherche prometteur. Nous discutons des incidences de cette étude sur les politiques et la recherche en éducation.

description: In this paper, a class of indecomposable positive finite rank elementary operators of order $(n,n)$ are constructed. This allows us to give a simple necessary and sufficient criterion for separability of pure states in bipartite systems of any dimension in terms of positive elementary operators of order $(2,2)$ and get some new mixed entangled states that can not be detected by the positive partial transpose (PPT) criterion and the realignment criterion.

Teachers' Reported Utilization of Reading Disabilities Research
Creators: name: Davidson, Katherine
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: This study was conducted to explore elementary school teachers’ uses of reading disabilities research. A modified version of Knott and Wildavsky’s (1980) knowledge utilization framework underpinned the investigation. Teachers completed a questionnaire and participated in focus groups which elicited their reported uses of reading disabilities research. Results revealed that teachers read and understand, refer to, attempt, adopt into policy, implement, and implement with desired results research on reading disabilities “sometimes.” The teachers’ acquisition of research through passive reception or “actively seeking and finding it” occurred less often than using, adopting, implementing or referring to the research “sometimes.” These findings are significant in light of the high incidence of reading disabilities. The findings suggest that students are not receiving evidence-based instruction that has the potential to alleviate or eliminate reading disabilities. This study has implications for increased research dissemination efforts and for continued investigations of obstacles to research use and means to facilitate the use of reading disabilities research. Cette étude visait à étudier l’emploi que font les enseignants à l’élémentaire de la recherche sur les troubles de lecture. Une version modifiée du cadre d’utilisation des connaissances de Knott et Wildavsky (1980) a servi de fondement à l’étude. Les enseignants ont complété un questionnaire et ont participé à des groupes de discussion portant sur l’emploi qu’ils faisaient de la recherche sur les troubles de lecture. Les résultats indiquent que, relativement à la recherche sur les troubles de lecture, les enseignants la lisent et la comprennent, s’y réfèrent, tentent de la mettre en œuvre, l’adopte comme politique et l’appliquent avec les résultats escomptés, et qu’ils font tout cela « parfois ». Quant à l’acquisition de la recherche de façon passive ou bien par une recherche active et réussie, les enseignants ont indiqué que cela se produisait moins fréquemment. Ces résultats sont importants en raison de l’incidence élevée des troubles de lecture. Ils portent à croire que les élèves ne reçoivent pas l’instruction que propose la recherche et qui aurait le potentiel d’atténuer ou d’éliminer les troubles de lecture. Les retombées de cette étude touchent les efforts visant la diffusion de la recherche, les études supplémentaires portant sur les obstacles à l’utilisation de la recherche et les moyens de faciliter l’utilisation de la recherche sur les troubles de lecture.

EFFECT OF E-BANKING SERVICE QUALITY ON CUSTOMER  SATISFACTION: THE CASE OF COMMERCIAL BANK OF  ETHIOPIA ARBA MINCH BRANCHES
Creators: name: MESFIN MENAMO JOFFE
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The main purpose of this study  is  to examine the effect of E-banking service quality on
customer satisfaction in case of CBE Arba Minch Branches. The  study was an explanatory
research design and  used  the quantitative research approach. The  structured Likert scale-
based questionnaires  were  distributed  and  collected from  204  conveniently selected  E-
banking service users of CBE Arba Minch, Secha, Sikela and Nechsar branches. The data
was analyzed  by  undertaking  the  descriptive  statistics,  Pearson correlation and multiple
regression analysis.  Results of the study revealed that  among  the five  service quality
dimensions  (reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangibility), assurance has
the highest positive effect on customer satisfaction followed by reliability and responsiveness
whereas empathy and tangibility have relatively less positive effect on customer satisfaction.
Furthermore, the results generated by  E-banking service quality dimensions  explain
significant variation in customer satisfaction. As a result, the researcher concludes  that E-
banking service quality has positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction.

description: We study the geometry of oriented right-angled hexagons in H^4, the hyperbolic 4-space, via Clifford numbers or quaternions. We show how to augment alternate sides of such a hexagon so that for the non-augmented sides, we can define quaternion half side-lengths whose angular parts are obtained from half the Euler angles associated to a certain orientation-preserving isometry of the Euclidean 3-space. This generalizes the complex half side-lengths of oriented right-angled hexagons in H^3. We also define appropriate complex half side-lengths for the augmented sides of the hexagon. We further explain how to geometrically read off the quaternion half side-lengths for a given oriented,augmented, right-angled hexagon in H^4. Our main result is a set of generalized Delambre-Gauss formulas for oriented, augmented, right-angled hexagons in H^4, involving the quaternion half side-lengths and the complex half side-lengths. We also show in the appendix how the same method gives Delambre-Gauss formulas for oriented right-angled hexagons in H^3, from which the well-known sine and cosine laws can be deduced. These formulas generalize the classical Delambre-Gauss formulas for spherical/hyperbolic triangles.

description: In this paper we introduce a new type of code, called projective nested cartesian code. It is obtained by the evaluation of homogeneous polynomials of a fixed degree on a certain subset of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, and they may be seen as a generalization of the so-called projective Reed-Muller codes. We calculate the length and the dimension of such codes, a lower bound for the minimum distance and the exact minimum distance in a special case (which includes the projective Reed-Muller codes). At the end we show some relations between the parameters of these codes and those of the affine cartesian codes.
Distance Students as Virtual Migrants: A Case Study from Atlantic Canada

description: Distance learners are typically excluded from discussions of student mobility. This paper explores distance student choices and experiences, drawing on a study that included students who enrolled in distance education courses at a university outside of their home province. Findings from this study suggest that program and course considerations such as quality, accessibility, and reputation were of primary importance to distance learners. Program cost was also found to be influential in students’ decision-making. Overall, this study adds to the current literature on distance student enrolment choices, experiences, and expectations. It makes a significant contribution in identifying factors that may result in students’ enrolment in distance education outside of their home region, and that should be considered in university recruitment initiatives. Typiquement, les apprenants à distance sont exclus des discussions sur la mobilité des étudiants. Cet article explore les choix et les expériences des étudiants à distance en puisant dans une étude qui a inclus des étudiants inscrits à des cours à distance offerts par une université située dans une province autre que la leur. Les résultats portent à croire que, par rapport aux programmes et aux cours, les apprenants à distance tiennent surtout compte de la qualité, l’accessibilité et la réputation. Le cout des programmes entre également en ligne de compte dans le choix de cours par les apprenants. Globalement, cette étude ajoute à la documentation existante sur les choix de cours, les expériences et les attentes des étudiants à distance. Elle contribue de manière importante à l’identification des facteurs qui pourraient entrainer l’inscription par des étudiants à des cours ailleurs que dans leur région de résidence et dont devraient tenir compte les initiatives de recrutement à l’université.

Measuring Practicing and Prospective Elementary Teachers’ Efficacy for Classroom Management: A Preliminary Development and Validation Study
Creators: name: Putman, S. Michael
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: Research has shown efficacy exerts a powerful influence on behavior. Classroom management represents one vehicle for demonstrations of these behaviors, yet few instruments focus solely on the measurement of this domain-specific form of efficacy. This research explored the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and classroom management through the development and validation of the Efficacy for Classroom Management Scale (ECMAN). Results indicated two factors may contribute to teachers’ self-efficacy for classroom management. Additional analyses revealed scores on ECMAN were correlated with a previously validated instrument for measuring efficacy. Implications are described relative to additional validation efforts and prospective uses for the instrument. La recherche a démontré que l’efficacité exerce une grande influence sur le comportement. Alors que la gestion de la classe représente une façon de démontrer ce comportement, peu d’outils portent uniquement sur l’évaluation de cette forme d’efficacité spécifique au domaine. Cette recherche a exploré le rapport entre l’auto-efficacité des enseignants et la gestion de la classe par une échelle nommée Efficacy for Classroom Management Scale (Échelle de l’efficacité en gestion de classe - ECHAM). Les résultats indiquent que deux facteurs pourraient contribuer à l’auto-efficacité des enseignants relativement à la gestion de la classe. Des analyses complémentaires ont établi une corrélation entre les résultats obtenus avec l’échelle ECHAM et des résultats découlant d’un instrument déjà validé et mesurant l’efficacité. Nous discutons des incidences relatives à d’autres efforts de validation et des emplois éventuels pour l’instrument.
