Child care center directors
Creators: name: Lynn, Beverly D.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: The problem in early care and education is that Directors’ work experiences, education, applied training, pedagogical knowledge, leadership skills, and communication competencies in the early education context are unequal. The problem has created inequity among Child Care Directors as they strive to build high quality child care centers. Research establishes that high quality child care programs help children develop physical, social, emotional, and intellectual skills (Ruzek, et al., 2011, Setodji, et al., 2013). Conversely, substandard child care negatively contributes to the achievement gap (Herbst, & Tekin, 2012) and has serious, damaging long-term effects on young children (Marshall, 2011).  Given that Directors’ leadership abilities play an important role in determining the quality of an early child care center, the purpose of the study was to identify 1) Directors, 2) current issues that contribute to their problems as leaders, 3) trends and leadership practices in early child care centers, and 4) from the findings, recommend quality improvement strategies for professional development that fosters high quality child care.  The research sample was composed of 516 early child care center Directors from across the State of New Jersey. A subset of twenty-nine Directors comprised the four focus groups. The qualitative research design contains data compiled from a multiple response survey and from responses of the Focus Groups that added narrative detail to the survey responses. Conclusions resulted from the combined results of the survey and focus groups responses.  From the analysis, emergent themes show that additional research may help determine how to develop Directors’ leadership identity to maximize the Directors’ ability to achieve a high quality center. Additional information about Directors is necessary to understand the values and qualities that influence leadership styles. Furthermore, the broad policy in New Jersey of accepting any post high school degree for Director Certification is inadequate. The researcher concluded that progressive professional development that concentrates on early child care pedagogy and methodology could benefit early child care Directors.

description: Em eventos educacionais com finalidades de capacitação, em que os resultados precisam ser mensuráveis e garantidos em curto e médio prazo, o processo de tomada de decisão sobre o que conseguir (objetivos) deve ser encarado como fundamental para a construção de soluções educacionais eficientes.

Por isso, a instituição precisa especificar de forma clara quais os resultados que se esperam alcançar com o ensino, quer sejam resultados projetados por ela ou por ela assumidos, uma vez que do objetivo procede toda cadeia de entrega do evento de capacitação. Após decidir aonde ir (ao estabelecer objetivos), a Esaf/CE cria e dispõe os meios de chegar lá (ao definir estratégias) para em seguida verificar se realmente atingiu os objetivos propostos (ao avaliar o processo). O objetivo do evento educacional pode ser entendido, assim, como uma linha de ação que norteia todo o processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

O presente documento é produto final do curso “Formulando objetivos e definindo conteúdos para projetos educacionais”, destinado a equipe interna da Esaf/CE e aos gestores de capacitação e desenvolvimento da Receita Federal da 3ª Região Fiscal, realizado de 02 a 04 de março de 2016. Por seu caráter elucidativo e didático, este documento deu origem a Orientação Pedagógica da Esaf/CE N°1 (de 07 de março de 2016), que “Orienta a formulação de OBJETIVO GERAL para projetos pedagógicos dos eventos educacionais realizados pela Esaf/CE”.

(...)

Esperamos que o documento sirva de referência para nossos clientes/parceiros, na construção de objetivos claros e precisos, capazes de fornecer bases seguras para a execução e avaliação do processo educacional projetado.Desse modo, o documento é composto por seis seções explicativas, a saber:I – POR QUE UMA FÓRMULA DE OBJETIVO GERAL?;II – QUE ESTRUTURA DEVE SEGUIR O OBJETIVO GERAL?;III – RESPONDENDO AO “O QUE SE PRETENDE FAZER COM OS EDUCANDOS?”;IV – RESPONDENDO SOBRE “QUEM SÃO OS EDUCANDOS?”;V – RESPONDENDO “EM QUE SE ESPERA TRABALHAR COM ELES?”;VI – RESPONDENDO “PARA QUE SE QUER TRABALHAR ISSO COM ELES?”.

Zombie brains

description: Informal science institutions like Liberty Science Center (LSC) aim to get learners excited about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) by creating fun and interactive exhibits. LSC also offers traveling science programs (TSPs) that bring some of the fun and interactive aspects of the museum to schools. Yet schools often seek programs that are more formal and engage students in the authentic practices outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards. TSPs fall somewhere between informal and formal learning—utilizing a bit more structure than museum exhibits, but are still relatively short (45-minute), one-time events. Thus, the challenge is to design TSPs that engage students meaningfully in authentic science practices while still being fun and exciting, all within a short amount of time.   As a Senior STEM Educator at LSC, I designed BRAAAAINS: You & the Zombie (BYtZ)—a TSP to engage students in the difficult practice of constructing scientific explanations. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the effectiveness of BYtZ at engaging students and improving their ability to construct scientific explanations. I used a modified version of the experience sampling method (ESM) to collect engagement data using a clicker voting system. A pre/post-test analysis was used to examine improvements in scientific explanations. A total of eight 7th grade classes from three schools participated in the program. Data analysis revealed that students were engaged with all three major elements of the program, that their explanations improved, and that those who were more engaged with the program were more likely to demonstrate improvements in their explanations. The dissertation document is presented as a portfolio that seeks to make the study findings practical with the following three products: (1) the complete curriculum for the new TSP titled BRAAAAINS: You & the Zombie (BYtZ), (2) an academic journal article reporting on the research study for a science education researcher audience, and (3) a professional development seminar for STEM Educators at LSC so they can learn how to present BYtZ with fidelity to its design intent and about general lessons learned during the design and research of the TSP.
Implementation of a basic skills reading program

description: Reading achievement at the third grade is predictive of ongoing academic success (Brown-Chidsey & Steege, 2005; Hernandez, 2011; Torgeson, 2002).  While most students will respond well to effective classroom instruction, 20-30% of students will require additional reading supports (Vaughn & Denton (2008).  Therefore, literacy achievement in the elementary school is a primary concern for educators (Pressley & Allington, 2014) and elementary schools need to be equipped to provide supplemental reading instruction to students who are not meeting grade level expectations.  The purpose of this utilization focused evaluation study was to examine what happened when a Basic Skills Reading Program (BSRP) was implemented in an elementary school and to understand what factors shaped program implementation.  This study also aimed to understand the perceived impacts of the supplemental reading program on students’ reading achievement.     Data was gathered from a researcher journal, which documented my daily experiences as the BSRP instructor throughout the first six months of program implementation.  To gain a broader perspective of the implementation of the BSRP, nine classroom teachers were interviewed, and twelve classroom teachers participated in an anonymous, online survey.  Data from the interviews and survey as well as scores from students’ reading benchmark assessments were used to obtain a preliminary understanding of how the program might have impacted student participants.  Data analysis involved coding data sources in alignment with research questions.  Looking across the codes, bigger themes within the data were identified to create a rich description of the implementation of the BSRP, to identify strengths and challenges to implementing the program, and to describe the perceived impact of the BRSP on student achievement.      Findings from this study suggest that the BSRP increased reading achievement among most of its student participants.  Classroom teachers reported increased reading self-efficacy as well as improvements in students’ ability to decode words, reading fluency, and comprehension of texts.   Additionally, this study found that several contextual factors influenced program implementation. While the compatibility and adaptability of the BSRP seemed to facilitate the successful adoption and implementation of the program, time and resources posed challenges. These findings have been used to inform the revision of the program in the 2017-2018 academic year.

Thrips striatopennata Schmutz, 1913: 1002
This species was described from Sri Lanka, and is known from India and Indonesia to Japan, Taiwan and Guam; the specimens available from Australia are listed below. The chaetotaxy of abdominal tergites I–II is considered important in distinguishing species in this genus (Bhatti, 1983; Masumoto & Okajima, 2002). In striatopennatus the median setae on tergite I are stated to be more than 26 microns in length, and on tergite II the lateral margin setal row is considered to comprise three setae, with a fourth seta placed mesad of this row (Fig. 29). Moreover, antennal segment II of striatopennatus lacks microtrichia, abdominal tergites II–IV are commonly slightly shaded anterolaterally, and both sexes can be micropterous. In contrast, B. yasuakii from Japan, has at least one clear row of microtrichia on antennal segment II, the median setae on tergite I are 9–14 microns long, the four lateral setae on tergite II are arranged in a straight row, the abdomen has no dark shadings, and both sexes are macropterous.
The available specimens from Australia appear to be intermediate between these two species. Antennal segment II of some specimens bears a few very weak microtrichia, but these are considerably weaker than those on the type specimens of yasuakii. The median setae on tergite I vary in length 15–20 microns (Figs 26–27), although one micropterous female has them 25 microns long (Fig. 28). Moreover, the length of these setae is sometimes bilaterally asymmetrical. The setal row laterally on tergite II in the Australian specimens usually has one seta placed slightly mesad of the row (Figs 26–28), but again this is not always bilaterally symmetrical. None of the specimens has any shading laterally on the tergites. The initial assumption was that the Australian populations represent a new species, but consideration of the variation amongst the available specimens led to the conclusion that, at present, they are better regarded as extreme variants of a widespread Asian species.

description: Understanding the flow dynamics of yield stress fluids in porous media presents a substantial challenge. Both experiments and extensive numerical simulations frequently show a non-linear relationship between the flow rate and the pressure gradient, deviating from the traditional Darcy law. In this article, we consider a tree-like porous structure and utilize an exact mapping with the directed polymer (DP) with disordered bond energies on the Cayley tree. Specifically, we adapt an algorithm recently introduced by Brunet et al. [Europhys. Lett. 131, 40002 (2020)] to simulate exactly the tip region of branching random walks with the help of a spinal decomposition, to accurately compute the flow on extensive trees with several thousand generations. Our results confirm the asymptotic predictions proposed by Schimmenti et al. [Phys. Rev. E 108, L023102 (2023)], tested therein only for moderate trees of about 20 generations.

Mathematical sophistication and conceptual understanding in astrophysics
Creators: name: Rave, Heather Anne
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this study was to examine how upper level students in astrophysics connect mathematical equations to concepts. Only a few studies in physics education research (PER) have investigated connections between student understanding of physics equations with physics concepts and none of those were in the field of astrophysics. As in many upper level physics classrooms, problem solving is a main part of astrophysics education. In upper level astrophysics classrooms, learning physics is about learning the ways physics describes, explains and predicts behavior of celestial objects by building mathematical models. This study evolved from a desire to improve student's conceptual understanding in an upper level physics course, which is highly mathematical in nature. The broad scope of this research is to understand how the students connect astrophysics equations to astrophysics concepts.     This study presents a systematic examination on how students who were enrolled in an upper level astrophysics class at Rutgers University understand astrophysics equations using the framework proposed by Domert et al. (2012) as well as how they frame their mathematical use of equations based on examining the symbolic forms of their mathematical arguments (the framework of Sherin, 2001). A symbolic form, according to Sherin, is composed of two components: a conceptual schema - the idea to be expressed in the equation - and a symbol template - how the idea is written in symbols (Sherin, 2001).     The majority of participants in this study were selected from the first of a two-semester sequence called Principles of Astrophysics (additional participants are experts in the field of astrophysics). The data for this dissertation include multiple homework assignments, two exams, a final essay, and video recordings of interviews of astrophysics students as well as experts working on solving problems involving gravitational potential energy and the virial theorem.     Through the systematic examination of the collected data I was able to determine how students connect mathematical equations to concepts within the framework of Domert et al. (understanding of physics equations) and Sherin (symbolic forms). I found that most upper level undergraduate students in astrophysics have the potential to make meaningful connections between concepts and equations but need more purposeful instruction in order to make these connections.

description: We study the impact of hole-doping on the Kitaev-Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice. We investigate the pairing tendencies and correlation functions in the framework of a $t-J-K$ model using density matrix renormalization group calculations on three-leg cylinders. In the case of the pure Kitaev model, which realizes a quantum spin-liquid phase at half-filling, we find that binding of two holes only occurs at low values of the hopping, where the holes are slow. We have theoretically verified that pair formation occurs in the limit of immobile holes, where the pure Kitaev model remains exactly solvable. When we instead fix the hopping at an intermediate, more realistic, value, and vary the Heisenberg and Kitaev interaction strengths, we find pairing tendencies only in the Néel phase. This is in contrast to prior mean-field calculations, highlighting the importance of accounting for the kinetic energy of dopants in generalized Kitaev models. Interestingly, we also find signatures of pair-density wave formation over the studied range of model parameters, namely a periodic modulation of the charge density as well as the spin-spin and pair-pair correlations in real space. Moreover, we present a comparative study of the different correlations as a function of doping. We finally discuss the potential for experimentally observing the studied physics in quantum materials and heterostructures.

Professional development prototype design for questioning and discourse in the science classroom
Creators: name: Rook, Allison N.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Teacher questioning has historically been an integral part of the learning process in the classroom (Roth, 1996). Teachers ask anywhere from 300 to 400 questions each day (Tienken et al., 2009). Of these, consistently close to 60% of questions asked by teachers in the classroom are factual or recall, 20% are procedural, and only the remaining 20% are higher-order thinking questions (Gall, 1970; Myhill, 2006). This pattern of teacher questioning has not changed despite changes in education standards that emphasize critical thinking and problem solving.  A focus on questioning is especially significant in the science classroom. The nature of scientific inquiry offers a unique opportunity where students are constantly asking questions about the world around them. Further, they are encouraged to systematically answer these questions through discussion, evidence, and reasoning (Lustick, 2010). This critical process of scientific inquiry is typically facilitated in the classroom by teacher questioning. However, despite the need for better teacher questioning, teachers face contextual and pedagogical challenges as they attempt to change their questioning practices.  The purpose of this mixed methods design study is to investigate teachers’ learning needs and design a just-in-time, informal, online professional development prototype for middle school science educators that supports effective questioning practices to facilitate discourse in the inquiry-based science classroom. This was accomplished by utilizing 4 iterative phases of needs assessment, analysis, and design including literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, anonymous surveys, and user-testing. Findings of this study indicate that teachers need learning experiences about questioning practices that are focused on content and provide time for reflection and collaboration. Further, they would like to learn in informal, individual, self-paced environments with an option to engage with others. These findings inform the design of the prototype, The Question Connection (www.questionconnection.com), as well as the current literature base on professional development, teacher questioning, and scientific inquiry instruction.

description: We propose HyperSteiner -- an efficient heuristic algorithm for computing Steiner minimal trees in the hyperbolic space. HyperSteiner extends the Euclidean Smith-Lee-Liebman algorithm, which is grounded in a divide-and-conquer approach involving the Delaunay triangulation. The central idea is rephrasing Steiner tree problems with three terminals as a system of equations in the Klein-Beltrami model. Motivated by the fact that hyperbolic geometry is well-suited for representing hierarchies, we explore applications to hierarchy discovery in data. Results show that HyperSteiner infers more realistic hierarchies than the Minimum Spanning Tree and is more scalable to large datasets than Neighbor Joining.

description: La capacit� di esprimere adeguatamente le emozioni attraverso l?uso di strategie adattive di regolazione delle emozioni � cruciale per il sano sviluppo dei bambini. Secondo la teoria dell'attaccamento di Bowlby, la reattivit� e la regolazione emotiva dei bambini sono correlate ai loro stili di attaccamento. Il presente studio mira ad indagare se l'interazione tra la classificazione di attaccamento e l?espressione emotiva pu� predire i cambiamenti nella reattivit� fisiologica dei bambini durante un compito stressante. In un primo momento (T1), le rappresentazioni di attaccamento di N = 59 bambini in et� scolare sono state misurate utilizzando la Child Attachment Interview. In un secondo momento (T2), i bambini hanno sostenuto un?impegnativa procedura di laboratorio standardizzata in cui dovevano cercare di risolvere una serie di puzzles risolvibili e irrisolvibili. I livelli di conduttanza cutanea (SCL), l'aritmia sinusale respiratoria (RSA) ed i livelli di cortisolo sono stati registrati come indici fisiologici durante l?intero compito. Le espressioni emotive facciali dei bambini (tristezza e vergogna) sono state codificate durante il quarto puzzle irrisolvibile. I risultati hanno evidenziato che l'espressione dell'emozione modera la relazione tra l'attaccamento evitante e le risposte fisiologiche: in alcuni compiti sono stati mostrati una RSA pi� bassa e dei SCL pi� alti; inoltre, l'interazione tra attaccamento ed espressione emotiva di ritiro era associata ad un aumento quasi significativo dei livelli di cortisolo durante l?intera esecuzione dei puzzles. I risultati rivelano che la presenza di attaccamento evitante modulata dall'espressione emotiva di ritiro induce uno stress fisiologico pi� elevato nei bambini. Comprendere i fattori che influenzano la reattivit� allo stress nei bambini � essenziale nello sviluppo di interventi che promuovano un adattamento funzionale in risposta al disagio.

description: The mushroom-shaped head of the only female depiction discovered at Göbekli Tepe (G.T 00.11; PPNB, 9th mill. BCE) imparts a phallic body-shape to the sexually excited or birth-giving woman, endowing her with the attributes of both sexes. This raises the well-known phallocentrism of Göbekli Tepe to an even higher level. Later embodiments of the "phallic female" paradigm from Anatolia include a stone figurine from Çatalhöyük (Chalcolithic, 6th mill. BCE), a terracotta one from Canhasan (5th mill. BCE) and the alabaster idols from Kültepe (EBA II-III, 3rd mill. BCE); from slightly further east one can include the terracotta Amlash figurines from northwestern Iran (Iron Age, 1st mill. BCE). The dual-gendered "visual pun" enjoys a global distribution; independent embodiments of the concept are known from five continents, some from as early as the 26th millennium BCE. As an aside, the ancient and widespread belief in the maleness of bones could transform the Çatalhöyük "Life and Death" figurine (12401.X7) into another procreation-focused amalgam of maleness and femaleness. The male/bone equivalence could also explain the partial skeletonisation of male human and animal representations at Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe.

description: Novice teachers experience numerous challenges on their pathway to becoming highlyqualified  teachers. Often times, the transition from student teacher to classroom teacher are filled  with obstacles – some transparent, yet many unforeseen (Darling-Hammond, 2001). Alarmingly,  more than a third of all new teachers choose to leave the profession within their first five years of  entering the profession (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2014). Lack of support,  classroom management issues, increased workloads, inadequate preparedness, lack of materials,  and more are only a sample of the reported concerns germane to beginning teachers (Leukens,  Lyter & Fox, 2004; Stockard & Lehman, 2004). Juxtapose these concerns with ever-increasing  parental and community involvement coupled with the demands of working in a high  socioeconomic and high-achieving school district can create a challenging environment for many  novice teachers.  In response to such concerns, school districts have created induction programs in an  effort to assist novice teachers overcome these challenges (Feiman-Nemser, 2001; Ingersoll &  Smith, 2003; Johnson, 2004; & Wong, 2001). In an effort to understand beginning teacher’s  experiences in high-achieving and high socioeconomic school districts, this case study (Yin,  2008) explored beginning teacher’s experiences in an induction program in a high-achieving and  high socioeconomic school district in the Northeast.  The major findings from this study included the inconsistencies in the delivery and  implementation of the induction program components, the induction program’s focus on school  and district issues rather than on pedagogical needs of the novice teachers, and the increased  levels of stress and anxiety experienced by the the beginning teachers as a result of participating  in the induction program. In short, the findings suggest the induction program that was designed  to assist and prepare beginning teachers to work in such an environment inadvertently increased  the stress and anxiety it was designed to alleviate.  Accordingly, the findings from this case study support and extend the literature on the  need for induction programs for beginning teachers but more importantly, provide a foundation  for future investigations into teacher’s perceptions and experiences in induction programs at high  achieving and high socioeconomic school districts.
Understanding Chinese-heritage immigrant family educational experiences

description: Asian Americans have been characterized as the “model minority” due to their extraordinary academic achievement—achievement that highlights immigrant parents’ strong involvement in their children’s education (Lee & Zhou, 2015). But what exactly is it like in Asian immigrant families in relation to parent-child interactions? This dissertation takes a nuanced approach to studying high-achieving Asian students’ college-preparation experiences with an aim to demystify the educational experience of East-Asian immigrant families. Ten Chinese-heritage immigrant families were recruited, including ten high school seniors and seventeen immigrant parents. Data were collected using ethnographic techniques: semi-structured interviews, participant observations and informal conversations.        This study provides an innovative conceptual model for analysis of the experiences of academically successful Asian American youth. Using an “identity-in-practice” model (Holland, Lachicotte, Jr., Skinner, & Cain, 1998) and considering the production of these identities across multiple timescales (Wortham, 2006) (i.e., K-12 schooling years) and various social spaces (i.e., home, school and community), I documented the linked effects and consequences of the ways in which immigrant parents interacted with children through students’ K-12 education. The findings demonstrate the interdependent linkages between the following elements of this particular cultural system. They are: (a) the American curricular tracking, (b) immigrant parents’ perceptions of the American education system (particularly in math) that shaped their educational involvement, and (c) students’ racialized learning identification and practices at school.        This dissertation furthers our critiques and analyses of the myth that Asian Americans’ high academic achievement is attributable to aspects of “Asian culture” (e.g., “Tiger moms” and their obedient children). Instead, my findings suggest that Asian American students’ academic excellence is the outcome of local productions of academic competition across time and contexts. These productions reflect a complex interaction between locally-generated peer pressure among parents in the community, as well as locally-produced students’ peer pressure at school. By analyzing the taken-for-granted social practices (e.g., Asians students attend multiple after-school tutoring/enrichment programs) and hidden rules of certain cultural behaviors (e.g., Asians work hard) through the theoretical lens of “identity-in-practice”, this dissertation achieves a deeper understanding of the sociocultural patterns of educational achievement of the children of East-Asian immigrant parents.

description: Over the last 30 years, the racial, ethnic and linguistic diversity of school-aged children in grades PK-12 has drastically changed in the United States. This demographic shift in the student population has prompted a concern among teacher educators about how to best prepare teachers to meet the needs of Black and Latino student populations in the classroom. Training teachers to be culturally responsive educators is an especially pressing need given that 86 percent of teachers (Kena et al., 2015) are White, and student demographics continue to become more racially, ethnically and culturally diverse.  With research revealing that racially, ethnically and linguistically diverse students, particularly those of African and Latino decent, continue to experience an inequitable education and show large discrepancies in academic achievement when compared to their White peers despite the availability of resources in their academic communities, alternatives have been explored to meet their needs, engage them further, encourage student advocacy, build critical consciousness and provide a more equitable education. One alternative to the traditional pedagogical practices of teachers is the integration of culturally relevant arts across content areas.   The purpose of this qualitative study was to develop a notion of culturally relevant arts and compare how literacy and teachers of the arts from a district in “need of improvement” in New Jersey may integrate culturally relevant arts in their classrooms to create an environment that lends itself to student achievement, student advocacy and the critical exploration of content for their students who are predominately Black and Latino. Specifically, I explored how an administrator, an English literature teacher and a teacher of the arts understood, defined and implemented culturally relevant practices across the curriculum.   Centered in arts and culturally relevant pedagogy, a major finding that emerged from the interviews was the importance of connecting with students. Being from the community, a similar community or having a deep understanding of the community; being someone that the students could identify with; building caring relationships with students; keeping content relevant and making connections to their lives, staying current with pop culture; ensuring that art and content areas are integrated; allowing students to question and think out of the box are examples of the ways in which teachers are able to make genuine connections with students. Through the use of educational strategies, teachers saw that they were able to engage and empower their students, even in an era when the district is undergoing a lot of change that makes it difficult to effectively educate students through the visual and performing arts and liberal arts ideology.

Described originally from Java, and recorded widely across India with two further synonyms from that country (Bhatti, 1984), specimens of this species have been studied from various sites in northern Australia between Brisbane, Badu Island (Torres Strait), Darwin and Kununurra. The new synonym is from New Caledonia, and specimens from that territory, including a paratype female, have been compared with specimens from India and Australia. In contrast to species of the B. venustus group recognised by Bhatti (1984), the maxillary palps are 2- segmented, there are five setae on antennal segment IV, sternite VII of females has the median pair of setae arising in front of the posterior margin, and the paired processes on the posterior margin of tergite IX in males are stout as in the new species described below.
