The Effect of Group Size on Reading Fluency
Creators: name: Taylor, Lauren
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a smaller reading group size would improve the reading fluency of first grade students. The participants of this study were enrolled in an Anne Arundel County Public School for the 2013–2014 school year. The small group consisted of three on-level students, and the other, larger group contained six on-level students. The same amount of reading fluency instruction was given to both groups five days a week over an eight- week period. The instruction took place for approximately 20 minutes each day. During instruction, students in both groups read their Treasures guided reader book for the week and worked on a variety of reading fluency strategies. At the end of the eight weeks, the measurement tool the teacher used to posttest the nine students was the Fountas and Pinnell (2011) Benchmark Assessment System. The hypothesis was supported in this study since there was no significant difference in reading achievement between the two groups. Research in the area of group sizes and reading fluency should continue to support the best practices needed for first grade students.

description: Motivated by recent discovery of correlated insulating and superconducting behavior in twisted bilayer graphene, we revisit graphene's honeycomb lattice doped close to the van Hove singularity, using the truncated unity functional renormalization group approach. We consider an extended Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice including on-site and nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsions, and nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic exchange and pair hopping interactions. By varying the strength of the nearest-neighbor exchange coupling and Coulomb repulsion as free parameters, we present rich ground-state phase diagrams which contain the spin-triplet $f$-wave and spin-singlet chiral $d$-wave superconducting phases, the commensurate and incommensurate spin- and charge-density-wave phases, and the ferromagnetic phase. In the absence of the exchange coupling and for small value of the nearest-neighbor repulsion, the four-sublattice spin-density-wave phase is generated right around the van Hove filling, while the chiral $d$-wave superconductivity emerges slightly away from it. Surprisingly, the chiral $d$-wave superconductivity is strongly suppressed by weak nearest-neighbor exchange coupling in our calculations. We argue that this suppression might be one of the reasons why the chiral superconductivity proposed for doped graphene has not yet been observed experimentally.

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of direct spelling instruction on the reading and writing skills of grade four students. The researcher wished to determine whether students who received an intensive, teacher-directed, structured spelling instruction program would be able to spell more accurately and perform better on reading and writing tasks than students who did not receive this instruction. Assessments included the Words Their Way Elementary Spelling Inventory (2008) and the Fountas and Pinnell Reading and Writing Benchmarks (2011). This study involved the use of a pretest/posttest design to compare pre and post-intervention data over a one-month period. Results indicated no significant difference in the spelling, reading and writing gains of the treatment and control groups. However, the treatment group did exhibit slightly larger gains than the control group in all three areas assessed. This study was an example of the benefits of teachers using informal and formal data to improve their instruction and the progress of their students. Research in the area of direct spelling instruction and its impact on reading and writing skills and the collection and use of data should continue in classrooms to determine the effects of improving spelling skills on students’ achievement in other subjects.

description: We obtained the number counts and the rest-frame B-band luminosity function of the color-selected old passively-evolving galaxies (OPEGs) at z=1 with very high statistical accuracy using a large and homogeneous sample of about 4000 such objects with z' <25 detected in the area of 1.03 deg^2 in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) field. Our selection criteria are defined on the i'-z' and R-z' color-magnitude plane so that OPEGs at z=0.9-1.1 with formation redshift z_f=2-10 are properly sampled. The limiting magnitude corresponds to the luminosity of galaxies with M_*+3 at z=0. We made a pilot redshift observations for 99 OPEG candidates with 19 < z' < 22 and found that at least 78% (73/93) of the entire sample, or 95% (73/77) of these whose redshifts were obtained are indeed lie between z=0.87 and 1.12 and the most of their spectra show the continuum break and strong Ca H and K lines, indicating that these objects are indeed dominated by the old stellar populations. We then compare our results with the luminosity functions of the color- or the morphologically-selected early type galaxies at z=0 taking the evolutionary factor into account and found that the number density of old passive galaxies with sim M_* magnitude at z~1 averaged over the SXDS area is 40-60% of the equivalently red galaxies and 60-85% of the morphologically-selected E/S0 galaxies at z=0 depending on their luminosity evolution. It is revealed that more than half, but not all, of the present-day early-type galaxies had already been formed into quiescent passive galaxies at z=1.

The Effect of Research-Based Reading Interventions On At-Risk, Second Grade Student Ability to Fluently Decode Grade-Level Text

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not participation in research-based reading interventions effects at-risk, second grade students’ ability to fluently decode grade-level text. The measurement tool was DIBELS: Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills, Sixth Edition. This study involves the use of a pretest/posttest design to compare data from January of 2014 (before the intervention was administered) to data from May of 20014 (after the intervention was completed). Students participated in a research-based reading intervention, SIPPS-Extension, four times per week for thirty minutes. The hypothesis of this study was supported because the hypothesis predicted that student participation in research-based reading interventions would not affect at-risk, second grade students’ ability to fluently decode grade- level text. Statistical results from the dependent t-tests showed that there was no significant difference in words read per minute or in reading accuracy with the implementation of the research-based reading intervention. Research in the area of reading fluency and reading interventions should continue given that there was no significant difference between pretest/post- test results.

High Energy Afterglow Emission from Giant Flares of Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters: The Case of the 2004 December 27 Event from SGR 1806-20

description: We discuss the high enegry afterglow emission (including high energy photons, neutrinos and cosmic rays) following the 2004 December 27 Giant Flare from SGR 1806-20. If the initial outflow is relativistic with a bulk Lorentz factor Γ_0\sim {\rm tens}, the high-energy tail of the synchrotron emission from electrons in the forward shock region gives rise to a prominent sub-GeV emission, if the electron spectrum is hard enough and if the intial Lorentz factor is high enough. This signal could serve as a diagnosis of the initial Lorentz factor of the giant flare outflow. This component is potentially detectable by GLAST if a similar giant flare occurs in the GLAST era. With the available 10 MeV data, we constrain that Γ_0 < 50 if the electron distribution is a single power law. For a broken power law distribution of electrons, a higher Γ_0 is allowed. At energies higher than 1 GeV, the flux is lower because of a high energy cut off of the synchrotron emission component. The synchrotron self-Compton emission component and the inverse Compton scattering component off the photons in the giant flare oscillation tail are also considered, but they are found not significant given a moderate Γ_0 (e.g. \leq 10). The forward shock also accelerates cosmic rays to the maximum energy 10^{17}eV, and generate neutrinos with a typical energy 10^{14}eV through photomeson interaction with the X-ray tail photons. However, they are too weak to be detectable.

title: The religion of Tarot
Creators: name: Williams, Jessica
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: While Tarot cards are widely known as a fortune-telling tool, the practice of reading Tarot can also be understood as a spiritual practice. Tarot cards have undergone significant reinterpretations since their origins as a secular parlour game in the fifteenth century. Largely due to the influence of occult and alchemical thinkers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, today Tarot has emerged as a mystical tool for divination, enlightenment, and spiritual self-help. This study seeks to understand the religious dimensions of Tarot for Tarot readers. Drawing upon the five dimensions of religiosity model developed by Rodney Stark and Charles Glock, this thesis reveals the inherent religiosity of Tarot reading for practitioners. However, this thesis also reveals the need for a more nuanced model of religion than that offered by Stark and Glock. The thesis argues that while the Stark and Glock model of religiosity can help reveal some of the spiritual dimensions of Tarot practice, its institutional bias fails to account for other important spiritual dimensions of Tarot religiosity.
ASSESSING THE 2002 PROPOSALS OF THE UNITED STATES, CANADA AND THE CAIRNS GROUP FOR THE WTO DISCIPLINE ON DOMESTIC SUPPORT

description: The United States, Canada and the Cairns Group proposed disciplines on distorting domestic support in agriculture at the WTO Committee on Agriculture in July and September 2002. This paper assesses the key features of the 2002 proposals: green box provisions, blue box provisions, de minimis exemptions, the starting point for reductions, the nature of the reduction commitment, the depth of cuts, the implementation period for cuts, down payments, overall caps, and special and differential treatment of developing countries. The maximum distorting support (the sum of the maximum de minimis support and any entitlement to AMS or Total AMS that remains after reduction) is calculated for the United States, the European Union, Brazil, and Canada, based on projected values of production at the end point of implementation. The 2002 proposals of the United States, Canada and the Cairns Group are similar in seeking to reduce or eliminate blue box support and to reduce support over five years in developed countries. The proposal of the Cairns Group is found to be extremely ambitious, allowing no support other than green box support in developed countries, combined with a reduced scope for exempting support on green box grounds. Developing countries could still provide distorting support up to de minimis levels. Canada's proposal would also require the elimination of AMS entitlements but is less extreme in that all Members could provide deminimis support as under present rules. Canada's proposal would improve the classification of green box and non-product-specific support, make green box support immune to the threat of countervail, and cap the sum of amber, blue and some green support. The U.S. proposal is found to be only modestly ambitious, perpetuating Members' AMS entitlements, albeit at lower, more harmonized levels. No change is proposed in the rules for classifying support in the green box or as non-product-specific versus product-specific, which would continue to exempt large amounts from commitment. The Cairns Group proposal would extend considerable leeway to developing countries as special and differential treatment, while the Canadian and U.S. proposals seek to discipline distorting support wherever it is provided. Altogether, Canada's proposal would appear to be more practical and more equitable and hence perhaps more effective than the proposals of the Cairns Group and the United States in bringing about substantial reductions in trade-distorting domestic support.

description: This Letter presents a calculation of the power spectra of weakly turbulent Alfven waves and fast magnetosonic waves ("fast waves") in low-beta plasmas. It is shown that three-wave interactions transfer energy to high-frequency fast waves and, to a lesser extent, high-frequency Alfven waves. MHD turbulence is thus a promising mechanism for producing the high-frequency waves needed to explain the anisotropic heating of minor ions in the solar corona.

Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of small reading groups, independent reading, and partner reading on students’ reading levels from on grade level to above grade level. The participants of this study were five third grade students enrolled at an elementary school in Baltimore County. The treatment students were provided instruction from Baltimore County Public School English Language Arts curriculum as designed to align with the Common Core State Standards. In addition to this curriculum, treatment students received small group instruction, were required to complete forty-five minutes of daily independent reading, and partner reading during independent work. The null hypothesis was supported based on the pre- and post-test data, which revealed slight, but non-significant reading level growth. Future research should continue in this area to determine methods of instructions to promote reading level growth to more complex text.
Court intervention in arbitral proceedings in countries adopting the uncitral model law on international commercial arbitration : an impact of legal culture on reception (case studies of Canada, Hong Kong and Russia)
Creators: name: Biukovic, Ljiljana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores problems regarding the reception the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (ML) in Canada, Hong Kong and Russia. Focusing on the relationship between national courts and arbitrators, it argues that the ML fosters gradual harmonization of law on international arbitration, while accommodating the particular needs of the legal cultures and traditions of Canada, Hong Kong and Russia. The importance of this study derives from the fact that the experience of these three countries has been, and it still is, a guide for a number of other countries considering the adoption of the ML and modification of their arbitration laws. First, the thesis explores the implementation of the ML at the national level, in each of the countries of adoption in order determine, the legal changes, if any, brought about by the adoption. The hypothesis is that legal borrowing can lead to different results in countries with different legal traditions, different levels of economic development and different political structures. At this level the analysis focuses on statutory frameworks and judicial practice in these countries. Second, the thesis compares the results from the study at the national level in order to explore the ways in which the same pattern (that is, the ML) has been modified to reflect the socio-economic environment and principles of old systems, and to determine changes to the original model. The hypothesis is that arbitral tribunals are promoters of a new "internationalized" legal culture and that national judges and courts, in comparison, are more likely to reflect local or national legal cultures. The thesis concludes that variations in the application and interpretation of the M L in the three countries does not mean that the ML cannot bring about the harmonization of laws. However, the ML is not a transplantation or duplication of foreign law, but a project of reception. In that way, the ML serves as a basis for creativity, rather than representing the imposition of a new, and perhaps, inappropriate; legal culture.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a correlation between fifth grade
students’ perceptions of the relationship with their teacher and their academic achievement. This
was a correlation research design. The academic achievement measurement tool was the Anne
Arundel County public school report card, specifically the students’ first and second marking
period reading and math grades. This study also involved use of a questionnaire survey where
students were asked to rate their relationship with their teacher. These results were then
compared to their grades to look for a correlation between student achievement and the
perception of their relationship with their teacher.

description: The recent measurements on $R_D$, $R_{D^*}$ and $R_{J/ψ}$ by three pioneering experiments, BaBar, Belle and LHCb, indicate that the notion of lepton flavour universality is violated in the weak charged-current processes, mediated through $b \to c \ell \bar ν_\ell$ transitions. These intriguing results, which delineate a tension with their standard model predictions at the level of $(2-3)σ$ have triggered many new physics propositions in recent times, and are generally attributed to the possible implication of new physics in $ b \to c τ\bar ν$ transition. This, in turn, opens up another avenue, i.e., $ b \to u τ\bar ν$ processes, to look for new physics. Since these processes are doubly Cabibbo suppressed, the impact of new physics could be significant enough, leading to sizeable effects in some of the observables. In this work, we investigate in detail the role of new physics in $B \to (π,ρ,ω)τ\bar ν$ and $B_s \to (K,K^*) τ\bar ν$ processes considering a model independent approach. In particular, we focus on the standard observables like branching fraction, lepton flavour non-universality (LNU) parameter, forward-backward asymmetry and polarization asymmetries. We find significant deviations in some of these observables, which can be explored by the currently running experiments LHCb and Belle-II. We also briefly comment on the impact of scalar leptoquark $R_2(3,2,7/6)$ and vector leptoquark $U_1(3,1,2/3)$ on these decay modes.

description: This document describes the best practice guides developed by BioExcel for our core codes and workflow engines. With regards to the core codes the guides cover best practices for using CP2K to perform QM/MM simulation of biomolecular systems, general usage of GROMACS and obtaining good performance on specific HPC machines available to EU researchers through PRACE, and best practices for molecular docking with HADDOCK. Additional guides cover several aspects of computational workflows; development process using Common Workflow Language, choice of workflow engines, and how to package workflow results combining multiple FAIR standards. The BioExcel guides have been planned based on our experience developing and using the codes and workflow engines, our engagement with users at training events and workshops, through provision of in-depth support, and through community surveys, all of which have allowed us to identify and prioritise user needs. We have begun and will continue to promote, revise and expand the guides based on our engagement with the computational biomolecular research community through our support mechanisms and through BioExcel-organised events in 2021, such as the EMBO conference and various training events. The guides have been made available as structured web pages editable through open source processes, inviting further contributions from the respective user communities. We consider how we can make the guides follow FAIR guidelines and increase their outreach using traditional publication and integration with existing software documentation portals.

WTO 2004 Agriculture Framework: Disciplines on Distorting Domestic Support

Year: 2005

International Relations/Trade

description: The July 2004 Agriculture Framework is the basis for negotiations of modalities in agriculture in the WTO. The significant new ideas on domestic support include an Overall Reduction applying to the sum of Total Aggregate Measurement of Support (Total AMS), de minimis AMSs, and blue box payments (i.e., all non-green support), tiered harmonizing reductions of overall distorting support and Total AMS, caps on product-specific AMSs, cap on and criteria for blue box payments, lower de minimis, and review of green box criteria. This paper assesses how several of these provisions might constrain the future (2014) distorting domestic support of USA, EU, Japan, Canada, Brazil, and China. Future support is projected, paying particular attention to U.S. and EU support. The analysis uses a hypothetical 90-80-70-60 reduction scenario to estimate the remaining entitlements to support and calculates the cuts the six Members can accommodate without affecting projected future support. It also estimates the maximum support that can be used within the commitments, considering that simply summing the Total AMS commitment and all de minimis allowances overestimates the amount of support that can be provided (a product's AMS can not at the same time be de minimis and counted in Current Total AMS). The six Members can accommodate large cuts in commitments on overall distorting support and Total AMS. A cut of 75 percent would not bite into the U.S. future support and a 79 percent cut would not constrain future EU-15 support. Large cuts would not force the other four Members to reduce support from what they have notified or provided in recent years. Large cuts will prevent reversals of support reductions. Harmonizing tiered cuts can effectively address the support entitlements of the large subsidizers. Altogether the provisions of the 2004 Framework allow for substantial reductions in distorting support, and the Overall Reduction can be particularly effective. The reduction scenario examined for the six Members reduces their combined usable entitlements to all distorting support by about half (from $301 bill. in the base period to $148 bill. in 2014) when applied to Total AMS, de minimis, and blue entitlement separately. Applying also the Overall Reduction reduces the combined usable entitlements by a further $84 bill., bringing their allowed distorting support down to $65 bill. However, this requires that Members agree to sizeable percentage cuts in the commitments on Overall Reduction and on Total AMS.

description: This work studies the influence of several compositional effects on thermal and reactive processes. First, the impact of using a fully compositional model in the context of thermal simulations is considered. Detailed phase behavior models rely on compositional descriptions of the oil using up to tens of components. Lumping a large number of components into a smaller number of pseudo-components in order to reduce the computational cost is standard practice for thermal simulations. Lumping schemes are typically calibrated using experimental data, in order to achieve a good approximation of the phase behavior of the initial oil. Due to the evaporation and condensation of components under thermal stimulation, the oil composition will widely vary in time and space. This works illustrates that even if the lumped schemes were able to capture the phase behavior of the initial oil, the lack of resolution can lead to modeling artefacts and/or fail to capture the relevant displacement processes. Then, the effects of different compositional interpretations of the lumped pseudo-species appearing in typical reaction schemes are investigated. A constant, mass-based fraction of the oil is allowed to react, and the reactive components are modified. Due to molecular weight effects, the reaction rate is larger when light and medium components are allowed to react. Those effects result in an increased displacement, leading to faster fronts, larger oil banks and more pressurization of the system.

description: We show how the quantum Zeno effect can be exploited to control quantum many-body dynamics for quantum information and computation purposes. In particular, we consider a one dimensional array of three level systems interacting via a nearest-neighbour interaction. By encoding the qubit on two levels and using simple projective frequent measurements yielding the quantum Zeno effect, we demonstrate how to implement a well defined quantum register, quantum state transfer on demand, universal two-qubit gates and two-qubit parity measurements. Thus, we argue that the main ingredients for universal quantum computation can be achieved in a spin chain with an always-on and constant many-body Hamiltonian. We also show some possible modifications of the initially assumed dynamics in order to create maximally entangled qubit pairs and single qubit gates.

description: Tensile stress generation associated with island coalescence is almost universally observed in thin films that grow via the Volmer-Weber mode. The commonly accepted mechanism for the origin of this tensile stress is a process driven by the reduction in surface energy at the expense of the strain energy associated with the deformation of coalescing islands during grain boundary formation. In the present work, we have performed molecular statics calculations using an embedded atom interatomic potential to obtain a functional form of the interfacial energy vs distance between two closely spaced free surfaces. The sum of interfacial energy plus strain energy provides a measure of the total system energy as a function of island separation. Depending on the initial separation between islands, we find that in cases where coalescence is thermodynamically favored, gap closure can occur either spontaneously or be kinetically limited due to an energetic barrier. Atomistic simulations of island coalescence using conjugate gradient energy minimization calculations agree well with the predicted stress as a function of island size from our model of spontaneous coalescence. Molecular dynamics simulations of island coalescence demonstrate that only modest barriers to coalescence can be overcome at room temperature. A comparison with thermally activated coalescence results at room temperature reveals that existing coalescence models significantly overestimate the magnitude of the stress resulting from island coalescence.

The Paradox of Agricultural Subsidies: Measurement Issues, Agricultural Dumping, and Policy Reform

description: World trade talks have foundered recently, in part due to developing country demands that industrialized countries reduce their large farm support programs to allow poor farmers in the global South to compete more fairly. Claiming that Northern farm subsidies amount to over $1 billion a day, and that the average European cow receives more in subsidies than the nearly three billion people who live on less than two dollars a day, Southern governments, farmer groups, and international aid groups have demanded steep cuts in Northern agricultural subsidies. This paper examines the economic and policy aspects of the subsidy debate. We begin with an examination of the most widely used measure of agricultural support, the OECD's Producer Support Estimate. We identify several important flaws in its application and interpretation as a reliable subsidy measure, highlighting the particular problems this can cause in measuring the levels of farm support in developing countries whose economies may not be fully integrated with the world economy. We then review the results of economic modeling of trade liberalization and subsidy reduction, finding that overall such measures are unlikely to raise producer prices to a sufficient degree to bring relief from alleged agricultural dumping to Southern farmers by bringing export prices above production costs. We briefly examine one alternative explanation for low commodity prices, the oligopolistic nature of agricultural trade. We conclude with an outline for policy reforms at the global and national levels to address measurement flaws, raise commodity prices, and reduce the undercutting of developing country farmers by below-cost agricultural exports from the North. Throughout, we draw on US-Mexico trade in maize as an illustrative case study. We conclude that subsidy reduction is unlikely to reduce economic pressures on Mexican maize producers from below-cost US exports, nor are such measures likely to improve the economic prospects for similar small-scale farmers growing food primarily for subsistence and the internal market. Instead, policy reforms should focus on ending agricultural dumping, reducing global commodity overproduction in key crops, and reducing the market power of agribusiness conglomerates.

description: From the author, Anne Bardaglio: I wrote this piece for a class with Irline Francois called “International Feminist Identity.” About halfway through the semester, we began reading a memoir called Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. Nafisi organized a clandestine English literature course for a group of her female students while living under a dictatorship in Iran. Nafisi writes with such understated elegance that I often found myself reading entire paragraphs or even pages out loud. I became fascinated with the book. Because of Nafisi’s intensely personal approach to her subject, I found myself not only examining the role literature played in Nafisi’s memoir, but in my life as well. From the faculty nominator, Irline Francois: Ann Bardaglio emerged from a Mid-Term assignment for my Women' Studies 227 class entitled, Becoming Visible: Fictions of International Female Identity. The course looks at the social and political construction of femininity within different cultural, political and historical contexts. We consider, for example, how the authors write about experiences particular to women within their socio-cultural geographical and historical contest as shown in their struggles to survive adversity, the wounds of history, what gives them pain and joy. I composed a list of questions in which students had to choose one: Ann's paper incorporated two of my essay questions for her Mid-Term paper while providing a personal response to her essay. It was made abundantly clear from the first sentence the novel touched Ann very deeply. Her paper title "Upsilamba!! The Joy and Sanctuary of Ficton in Reading Lolita in Tehran is both a love letter to literature, an affirmation of its life-sustaining ability. I responded strongly to Ann's paper because it was beautifully written echoing the beauty and power of Nafisi's words.It was also well-researched. Her paper showed not only her profound love for the power of language with her citing of Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being, but also how literature enables one to connect with Iranian women through the written world, the universal yearnings of the soul. At its most powerful, literature offers the possibility to transgress, to resist, to provide solace for the soul...Hence, Ann eloquently affirmed these human aspirations in her essay.

A Stringy Test of Flux-Induced Isometry Gauging

description: Supergravity analysis suggests that the effect of fluxes in string theory compactifications is to gauge isometries of the scalar manifold. However, isometries are generically broken by brane instanton effects. Here we demonstrate how fluxes protect exactly those isometries from quantum corrections which are gauged according to the classical supergravity analysis. We also argue that all other isometries are generically broken.

Environmental Economics and Policy

description: This essay will consider the relevance of the social sciences - especially economics - to the foundations of sustainable development. Looming environmental crises have served as a prime motivating force for reevaluating fundamental principles. In particular, the concept of sustainability, carrying with it clear requirements for values, goals and ethics, has begun to reshape economics. The broadest conception of sustainability is found if we understand sustainable development to mean Socially And Environmentally Just And Sustainable development - "SAEJAS development". Throughout the paper we will see examples of rules, or norms, that serve to organize human behavior without requiring that everything be rethought all the time. Among these may be found some ethical rules that lay the foundation for responding to the current situation in which humanity finds itself. What notice should the social sciences take of such rules? How would the social sciences - especially economics - have to change in order to be able to pay appropriate attention to ethical norms? "Participatory science," involving citizens as well as specialists, is proposed as an outline for the kind of science that is needed under contemporary circumstances. The approach described under this rubric will be contrasted with the methods and assumptions of mainstream economics. The essay will give some attention to how economic ideas - for better or for worse - affect and shape culture and society. The theory of sustainable development is proposed as offering strong, practical elements of a needed alternative economic paradigm. The conclusion will remind us that theory alone has little effect, and will point to an area where theory and practice can work together to civilize modern economies.

Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a Readers Theater intervention on the fluency scores of third graders. This quasi-experimental study measured the reading fluency scores of participants using a pre-assessment and a post-assessment from the oral reading fluency portion of Dynamic Indicators of Basic Literacy Skills Assessment (DIBELS). There were fourteen participants in the study which included seven Caucasian males, four Caucasian females, one Caucasian male with an IEP, one Hispanic male and one African American female. The study took place over a ten week period and hypothesized that there would be no significant difference in fluency scores for students after participation in a reading intervention, as measured by the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Literacy Skills (DIBELS) assessment, of students who received repeated Readers Theater intervention over a ten week period when their results are compared with their performance on the reading fluency portion of DIBELS assessment that was administered at the beginning of the study. The results suggested that there were statistically significant differences overall in the performance of students on the DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency assessment. This study supports previous research on the effectiveness of implementing a repeated reading program in the classroom.
