High school early adopters of digital technology
Creators: name: Gorman, Thomas A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Although the number of studies was growing, there was little qualitative research investigating the issue of how classroom teachers were integrating technology for educational purposes. With all the money spent on technology in education, there had not been many studies attempting to determine how teachers were using it in classroom lessons. The findings of this study will contribute to the literature on technological integration to promote content learning. A qualitative case study design was used to examine how teachers in advanced technology high schools were integrating digital technology into classrooms. A preliminary screening survey identified the three technology advanced high schools in a defined geographical region. Three early adopter teachers in each of these schools were interviewed, observed in classrooms, and asked to provide documents regarding their lessons and student products. By closely examining and describing the teachers’ uses of specific technology applications, recurring themes shed light on the use of technology in advanced technology public high school settings. The findings highlighted teacher technology use and some best practices by the early adopters in high schools and provided significant insight into the three interactive domains that must be balanced: teacher, project, and school. The factors that influenced teachers to adopt technology were categorized into school and global forces. The teachers reported using multimedia to communicate and engage the students. They used more of a constructivist approach to extend their students’ learning experience and used the power of the Internet to continue class discussions and enhance their lessons beyond the classroom. In the end, the teachers perceived the benefits of technology use greatly outweighed any frustrations they experienced. This case study can serve as a model for how teachers and administrators may incorporate technology into their classrooms. Technology offered many benefits to teachers and students, yet few qualitative studies support this and demonstrate how technology’s integration had been successfully and meaningfully accomplished. This study provides insight and knowledge regarding how teachers and administrators may successfully integrate technology and assist in replicating the success in other schools and classrooms.

Year: 2010

description: As English language learner (ELL) enrollment in suburban schools increases, so does the need for ELL-focused professional learning.  There has been limited research investigating suburban secondary teachers’ experiences in ELL-oriented professional development.  Therefore, this study examines the following questions:    1. How do suburban middle school content area teachers experience participation in an ELL-oriented reflective inquiry group?  a. What questions, challenges and interests do these teachers identify as priorities in their ELL-oriented professional learning?  b. How does the study of these questions, challenges and interests unfold as teachers interact in a reflective inquiry group?  2. How are the ELL-oriented instructional approaches studied during professional development actually enacted in these teachers’ practice?   3. How do the opportunities or constraints present within a suburban middle school structure impact the content area literacy instruction they provide for the ELLs in their classrooms?  Method  A qualitative case study methodology was employed to investigate the interactions of five content area teachers and one ESL teacher during eight ELL-focused professional learning sessions over a thirteen-week period. Data were gathered from professional learning sessions, intermittent interviews, periodic classroom observations and related documents.  Data were coded to identify common themes relative to participants’ interactions during sessions that focused on ELL-oriented comprehension scaffolding tools, creating opportunities for authentic classroom participation and culturally responsive pedagogy. Findings The school’s interdisciplinary team design and lead teacher framework were potent validating sources that heightened participants’ agency and mediated interactions during sessions. Team-based content teachers were less receptive to culturally responsive strategies and scaffolding measures that promoted ELL / non-ELL interaction. Yet when attendance was sustained, interest in these concepts increased. Participants who acted as leaders during sessions modeled and actively supported the learning of co-participants, whether or not they officially held lead teacher positions in the school.  The ESL teacher, who held an institutionally marginalized position, interacted in a commensurately marginalized manner.  Significance   Findings highlight the need to better utilize suburban secondary schools’ institutional features to promote sustained ELL-focused professional learning. This includes integrating the ESL teachers’ role within these central school structures.

Student achievement in lower SES high schools

description: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 legally mandated that all public school students in grades 3-8 and once in high school attain proficiency in language arts andmathematics by 2014. While student achievement has increased in elementary and middle schools, little progress has been made at the high school level (USDOE, 2010). Specifically, trends in the nation’s report card show that scores in language arts andmathematics for 17 year olds have remained nearly unchanged for over thirty –five years. With a growing sense of urgency to meet AYP goals, school leaders, especially those working in lower SES environments need practical strategies for increasing studentachievement based on sound methodological research. One perspective on student achievement suggests that proximal variables (close to the learner) influence student achievement (Wang, Haertal, & Walberg, 1993). The purpose of this study was toinvestigate four proximal variables of interest (curriculum quality, non-curricular schoollevelvariables that influence instruction, facility quality, and school safety) that school leaders might manipulate which may positively influence high school studentachievement. Four research questions were developed to examine the relationships between curriculum quality, non-curricular school-level variables that influence instruction, facility quality, and school safety and high school student achievement in language arts literacy and mathematics. A fifth exploratory question was created to possibly find if a predictive model for achievement could be developed based on the predictability or the variables of interest. The unit of analysis was the high school. Seventy-one schoolleaders with direct knowledge of the high school provided survey data on curriculum quality and facility quality. The researcher developed measures of average high-school student achievement, school-level instructional quality characteristics, and school safetyfrom three archived databases. Multiple regression procedures were applied to identify relationships between the predictor variables and student achievement. Curriculum quality strongly predicted high school achievement. Other significant predictors of student achievement included the percentage of highly qualified teachers, and quality of the proximal learning environment as a facilities measure. A minimalrelationship was found between the variables associated with school safety and studentachievement. Deeper analysis suggested possible validity issues within the self-reported New Jersey school safety data. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Careers of professional psychologists

Year: 2010

description: Concerns have been raised about the quality of the training programs at institutions that grant the Psy.D. degree. This study sought to compare the career experiences of graduates from the Psy.D. and Ph.D. programs at Rutgers University. The following dimensions were compared: demographic information; educational history; professional activities; work as a practicing clinician; memberships in professional organizations; theoretical orientation and view of self as a psychologist; career satisfaction; attitudes towards training; and acceptance of the Psy.D. degree among Psy.D. degree holders.  Participants were graduates of the clinical Psy.D. program (n = 443) and of the clinical Ph.D. program (n = 208).  A survey was sent to all graduates of the two programs over the 32-year period from 1976 to 2008 who could be located.  A total of 356 Rutgers Clinical Psychology alumni from 1976 to 2008 completed the survey, representing 54.7% of the total sample (N = 651).  Significant group differences were found for 43 out of the 88 variables used to compare Ph.D. and Psy.D. graduates.  Most findings were consistent with the philosophies of the different programs or prior research.  The presence of multiple significant differences suggests that the Psy.D. and Ph.D. programs train and produce different individuals, which lends support for continuing to offer the Psy.D. degree program.  However, fewer Psy.D. graduates attended APA accredited internship programs (88.2% for Psy.D. vs. 94.9% for Ph.D.), although further inquiry is needed to determine if attendance of APA accredited internships is tied to any temporal pattern, given that that survey pertains to alumni spanning 32 years.  Psy.D. graduates (but not Ph.D. graduates) were asked questions about the acceptability of their degrees.  Results indicated that 10.8% perceived that their degree was a disadvantage when applying for internship.   Additionally, 9.9% of Psy.D. graduates believe their degree is received differently from one state or country to another.  Interestingly, a greater proportion of Psy.D. graduates hold New Jersey psychology licenses.  Also of note, a number of survey participants commented that they felt their professional achievements were not properly captured in this survey.  A greater number of Ph.D. alumni received “other honors and awards,” and Psy.D. graduates did not out-perform Ph.D. alumni on the proportion of those who received other types of recognition assessed by this survey.  Future research is needed to address questions raised by findings of this study, although many of the other results can immediately be used to inform the field of professional psychology.
Safety behaviors, compulsive behaviors, and therapist extensiveness as predictors of outcome in behavior for youth OCD
Creators: name: Colognori, Daniela

Year: 2010

description: The efficacy of behavior therapy in treating adult OCD is well-documented and early trials in youth populations are encouraging (March et al., 1994; Piacentini et al., 2002; POTS Team, 2004), however, residual symptoms often persist. The study of process variables can provide suggestions for improving the development, delivery, and outcomes of psychological therapies (Kazdin & Nock, 2003). One potentially important variant in exposure procedures identified by the literature has been the use of safety behaviors. However, it has been difficult to draw conclusions regarding the effect of safety behaviors on OCD treatment because the term has been interpreted broadly across studies and results have been mixed. The current study uses observational coding of existing data to assess three predictors of outcome within two early exposure sessions and two late exposure sessions of a manualized exposure and response prevention program. Participants include 43 youth (ages 8 – 17 years) diagnosed with a principal OCD diagnosis who received a 12-week exposure and response prevention program. Predictors assessed via observational coding include safety behaviors (avoidance and escape), compulsive behaviors, and therapist extensiveness (therapist ability to engage the client in difficult exposures). Outcome was measured by symptom report (CY-BOCS) at midtreatment and post-treatment. It was hypothesized that higher average occurrence of safety and compulsive behaviors during exposure tasks would predict higher OCD symptoms while lower ratings of therapist extensiveness would predict higher OCD symptoms at mid-treatment and post-treatment. Interaction effects were also investigated. Multiple regression analyses demonstrated a significant relationship between safety behaviors exhibited during the early exposure phase and OCD symptoms at mid-treatment in the expected direction, B = 0.31, t = 2.09, p
Tipping toward change
Creators: name: Cumes, Claudia

description: Objective: Psychosocial treatment research is shifting from a focus on randomized clinical trials to evaluating mechanisms of change. Researchers are interested in change mechanisms specific to certain treatments, across treatments and even those that occur outside of treatment. One phenomenon, sometimes called “assessment reactivity,” is change that occurs during the pre-treatment assessment period of clinical studies. For instance, Epstein et al. (2005) found that 45% of the women in an outpatient treatment for alcohol dependence became abstinent before treatment began. This dissertation further investigated possible mechanisms predicting the pre-treatment drinking cessation occurring in that study. Method: Alcohol dependent women (n=102) participated in a study of 6 months of individual or couple CBT for alcohol use disorders. The current study examined demographic, drinking severity, psychopathology, motivation, and partner/relationship variables to determine which significantly predicted pre-treatment abstinence.  Results: Four variables differentiated pre-treatment abstinent from non-abstinent women: percent of days abstinent prior to the Telephone Screen, having a goal of abstinence, women’s ratings of benefits of drinking cessation and their ratings of costs. A multivariate logistic regression with all four predictors was conducted to determine their relative importance in predicting pre-treatment abstinence when controlling for the effects of the other predictors. Results from the logistic regression analysis indicated that more pre-Telephone Screen days abstinent and higher ratings of the benefits of drinking cessation and lower ratings of perceived costs were significantly associated with an increased likelihood for pre-treatment abstinence between Baseline and session 1 of treatment. Having a goal of abstinence did not predict women’s pretreatment abstinence when controlling for the effects of the other factors. Conclusions: Change was occurring before women made contact with the study and is not exclusively linked to assessment reactivity. The fact that a high rating of the benefits of change in particular, but also a low rating of costs were strong predictors of actual change, provides further evidence that making positive cognitive shifts toward change may be one of the most important mechanisms of behavior change.

Conceptualization of children and adolescents with Tourette syndrome and a complex presentation of comorbidity
Creators: name: Ewbank, Shawn Christopher
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a disorder that begins in childhood. Children and adolescents  with TS are commonly affected by a complex picture of comorbid disorders.  Psychological conceptualization and treatment of children and adolescents with TS is a  challenge for many clinicians. In response to this challenge, this project serves as a  Conceptualization Guide for mental health clinicians who are working with children and  adolescents with TS. The Guide is intended to aid the psychological treatment of  individuals with TS by providing detailed instructions on how to conceptualize a TS case.  To do so, the Guide provides information that is intended to foster an understanding of  the etiological and maintaining factors of reported problems. Also, the Guide describes a  structured approach to assessing, formulating, and treatment planning for a TS case. This  approach includes the administration of a detailed assessment questionnaire that consists  of a General Questionnaire and five Modules that are administered based on clinical  judgment of necessity. The General Questionnaire consists of questions that help the  clinician to gain a comprehensive picture of the history and current functioning of the  child with TS. The five modules address the following comorbidities: ADHD, OCD,  Anxiety Disorders, Depression and Behavioral Problems. Lastly, the Guide discusses  how the assessment questionnaire forms can be used in conjunction with a computer  database to track individual client data on the various targeted problems as a means to  measure treatment progress and results.

description: Moluccarches nov. gen.
Type species. Moluccarches albimaculatus nov. sp.
Diagnosis. Small, body length 7.0 mm.
Head. Flagellum long, slightly lanceolate; widest flagellomeres square. Temple rather short, slightly narrowed behind eye. Clypeus large, almost flat; apical margin sharp, slightly bulging apically, rounded medially (fig. 32A). Mandible sickle-shaped, ventral tooth absent. Genal carina reaching mandibular base.
Mesosoma (figs 32C, 32D). Rather stout, mesoscutum 1.1 × wider than long. Epomia very long. Notaulus shortly impressed at frontal margin of mesoscutum. Epicnemial carina low, dorsally reaching subtegular ridge. Sternaulus impressed in frontal half of mesopleuron. Juxtacoxal carina present. Scutellum distinctly but roundly elevated, wider than long, with complete and slightly lamelliform lateral carina. Propodeum (fig. 32D) completely carinated; without distinct apophysis. Spiracle oval. Area basalis without median tubercle. Area superomedia hexagonal; anterior transverse carina reaching at 7/10 of its length. Hind coxa without scopa. Hind femur 3.2-3.4 × longer than wide. Claws simple. Areolet pentagonal; frontal distance between veins 2rs-m and 3rs-m 2.0 × their width. Vein 1cu-a slightly postfurcal.
Metasoma (fig. 32E). Oxypygous, stout. Petiole as wide as high. Postpetiole distinctly widened; without latero-medial carina, median field not separated. Gastrocoelus impressed, ± smooth. Thyridium small, transverse. Ovipositor sheath long and slender.
Colour. Black with extensive ivory coloration.
♂ and hosts unknown.
Remarks. Due to the sickle-shaped and unidentate mandible, this new genus resembles Celebarches Heinrich and runs to that genus in the keys of Heinrich (1934) and Townes et al. (1961). It differs by the stout habitus, oxypygous metasoma with thin and long ovipositor sheath, the epicnemial carina which reaches the subtegular ridge dorsally, and a different carination of the propodeum.

description: This dissertation relied on a case study format to document the process of consulting to the  Main Idea summer camp organization, located in the Northeastern United States, in order to  evaluate its Leadership Bunk, a program that aims to enhance low-income adolescent female  participants’ psychosocial development in the areas of leadership, resiliency, self-esteem,  communication skills, teamwork and problem-solving abilities in ways that foster ongoing  connection with the camp and that can generalize within and beyond the camp setting. In  the dissertation the Leadership Bunk program is described while the five guiding program  evaluation questions are delineated that examine: (a) whether the program is serving the  population it believes itself to be serving, (b) whether the program’s goals and objectives are  being met, (c) what factors and program components may be associated with the changes  documented for participants over time, (d) what improvements could be made to the  program’s design, and (e) what enhancements could be made for future similar program  evaluation efforts. Then, relevant psychological literature is presented to provide theoretical  grounding for the case study investigation and findings. A description is provided of the  quantitative and qualitative consultation methods utilized to formulate and structure the  program evaluation plan, including participant-observation, permanent product review,  interviews, focus groups, surveys, and ratings scales along with the Resiliency Scale for  Children & Adolescents, Self-Esteem Questionnaire and Assertiveness Scale. The program  evaluation findings are then documented, indicating that the program is generally serving the  target population that it is supposed to be serving and that participants are attaining stated  program goals. In addition, the findings identify factors that may contribute to the changes  observed and also offer recommendations for improvements and enhancements to the  program’s future design and evaluation. The dissertation concludes by addressing the  contributions of the project to the Main Idea summer camp organization, the psychological  literature and the consultant’s professional development.

description: Psychologists have long recognized the importance of schools to prevention and intervention efforts with children and families and to overcoming some of the powerful obstacles to their treatment. However, even as the targets of school-based mental health services have progressed from individual assessment and counseling to broad, school-wide programs and school-community partnerships, their outcomes generally remain conceptualized according to individual-student educational and developmental dimensions. For those concerned with schools and interventions, and who have followed the field’s steps toward more systemic, ecological initiatives, the multilevel, community-based, culturally situated (MCBCS) model being pioneered by Schensul and Trickett (2009) represents a conceptual and procedural revolution with the potential to spur a leap in the direction of interventions with multi- and community-level outcomes. The school-based community intervention (SBCI) model extends Schensul and Trickett’s model to a school context, using it to guide collaborative school community interventions that are designed to create sustainable change and capacity at multiple levels of the community. This approach can be particularly useful in situations where schools and the community have historically resisted traditional psychological interventions and programmatic change efforts, and represents a novel approach to that well-documented challenge. This thesis presents an overview of barriers to care, school- and community-based solutions to them, and the foundations of the MCBS model. It then proposes and outlines the SBCI model as a method of introducing change into a resistant community. A case study will illustrate the SBCI model as implemented through a school-based mental health program servicing the highly insular Ultra-Orthodox and Hassidic Jewish population of Rockland County, NY. The conclusion examines the implications for school psychology research and practice and delineates how the model piloted in this project can be empirically tested.

description: Research about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) populations reveals a dearth of empirical knowledge about bisexual women. This study explores the experiences of eleven dually attracted/bisexual women between the ages of 25 and 42, with particular emphasis on communities and social institutions to which they belong. Although research demonstrates that community support plays a critical role in minoritymental health, current data reveals that bisexuals experience significant degrees of biphobia and marginalization within LGBT and other communities. This qualitative study focuses on the thoughts and feelings that bisexual/dually attracted women have abouttheir sexuality. Each 1.5 hour long interview probed about how participants’ thoughts and feelings were influenced by experiences in schools, workplaces, religious settings, LGBT groups and families of origin. The semi-structured interview tool was designed to 1) gain a deeper understanding of the overall experience of dual attraction/bisexuality in adult women 2) identify themes that illustrate the core factors that influence how bisexual women choose to identify and participate in their social contexts. The results illustrate that, largely due to perceived social stigma within both heterosexual and homosexual communities, the choice to utilize the term bisexual is highly complicated and leads somewomen to refuse the identity altogether. Data also illustrates the complex ways in which families, religions and other identity groups influence how participants name their sexual identity. Interestingly, bisexual celebrities emerged as an unexpected and influential“community” for some subjects in this sample. In sum, the core overarching themes that emerged from interview data were 1) Naming (or choosing not-to name) sexual identity; 2) Coming out; 3) Religion and family – acceptance, rejection and the negotiation of conflicting values and beliefs; 4) Workplace and school experiences; 5) Dual identity and other social minority experiences. The results of this study can be utilized to guide future research as well as inform clinicians and service providers who aim to gain a more nuanced understanding of the unique experiences and perspectives of this population.
Implementation and evaluation of a psychoeducational program for parents recently reunified with their children

description: This dissertation focuses on the process of designing, implementing and evaluating a parenting program for single parents with a history of mental illness who have been separated from their children, within the context of a residence at a human services agency in an urban setting.  Maher’s program planning and evaluation framework and a case study approach were used to facilitate the process. Principles of attachment theory informed the curriculum created for the program.  This dissertation was conducted with an intention to contribute to the attachment literature and to expand knowledge about the needs of parents with a history of mental illness who have lost custody of their children.  Maher’s program planning and evaluation framework consists of four phases: clarification, design, implementation and evaluation. During the Clarification Phase, an assessment of the parents’ needs and the relevant context was conducted. The needs assessment revealed that parents at the residence had significant past histories of trauma and poor parenting that negatively affected their skills as parents. Additionally, it was determined that many parents struggled to connect emotionally with their children and to provide appropriate discipline. A program design was then created based on the needs identified in the Clarification Phase. The program was entitled the Attachment Based Parenting Program and consisted of a psychoeducation group designed to teach parents skills to improve attachment with their children and to provide appropriate discipline. A description of the program and its implementation is further detailed in this dissertation. The program was implemented over the course of 12 weeks in the Fall of 2008 and involved 10 parents. Following the program implementation, an evaluation was conducted.  Results of the evaluation revealed that the program provided some value to the participants: (a) parents were able to process their own history; (b) parents were able to better understand ways in which prior traumas affected their ability to connect with their children; and (c) parents learned new skills to improve their connection to their children. Constraints of the dissertation are noted and recommendations are provided for future design and implementation of the program.

The treatment of Gulf War syndrome with cognitive behavioral therapy

description: Since the late 1990s, researchers have been focused on finding effective treatments for military veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), a multisymptom (cognitive and physical) illness whose roots have still remained largely unexplained. With the possibility that such war-related syndromes may affect as many as 45-60% of returning soldiers, researchers have recommended that future research on GWS prioritize qualitative work, which has been scarce, to deepen the understanding of this illness in the veteran population -- including their attributions, fears, and concerns  -- so that more refined, suitable treatments may be developed to meet their needs. The following paper examines a prior treatment study which evaluated the efficacy of manualized cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to improve physical health and reduce psychological stress in military veterans with GWS.  The current analysis is comprised of a cross-case comparison of two soldiers and considers the various factors that may have contributed to the success or failure of this particular CBT treatment for this population.  In the original treatment trial, patients were given weekly individual outpatient therapy sessions over a three-month period and were monitored periodically for physical, cognitive, and emotional changes. Two cases were selected for analysis from the original study based on their opposing outcomes: Soldier 2 was successful in achieving a substantial increase in physical functioning, while Soldier 1 was not. Although the CBT treatment yielded positive changes in both patients’ level of self-awareness, and significant improvements in GWS-related psychological and physical stress in Soldier 2's case, the results indicate that additional factors, such as individual personality traits, states of cognitive functioning, and comorbidity need to be more closely examined and considered when designing treatments for veterans with Gulf War Syndrome.
