In the 2011-12 academic year, about 4 million students were enrolled in graduate degree programs in the United States. These students were pursuing a wide variety of degrees in many different fields, both academic and professional. These Web Tables use data from the 2011-12 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:12) to present estimates on the demographic and enrollment characteristics of students in graduate-level programs and how they financed their graduate studies. The tables in Section 1 (tables 1.1 to 1.4) provide percentage distributions of graduate students by graduate degree program and demographic, institutional, and enrollment characteristics, including distributions by sex, race/ethnicity, age, attendance status, marital status, citizenship, employment, and income. The tables in Section 2 (tables 2.1 to 2.3) present these demographic and enrollment distributions for students in master's degree, academic doctoral, and professional doctoral degree programs and within broad groupings of field of study. The tables in Section 3 (tables 3.1 to 3.10) first focus on average tuition and costs of attendance by enrollment and institutional characteristics. The final series of tables distinguish financial aid by source and by type, providing the percentage of students receiving each kind of aid and the average amounts received. These financial aid estimates are disaggregated by selected enrollment and institutional characteristics.

This study possessed 2 aims: (a) to develop and validate a clinician-friendly measure of academic problem behavior that is relevant to the assessment of adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and (b) to better understand the cross-situational expression of academic problem behaviors displayed by these youth. Within a sample of 324 adolescents with the &quot;Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision&quot; diagnosed ADHD (age M 13.07, SD 1.47), parent, teacher, and adolescent self-report versions of the Adolescent Academic Problems Checklist (AAPC) were administered and compared. Item prevalence rates, factorial validity, interrater agreement,internal consistency, and concurrent validity were evaluated. Findings indicated the value of the parent and teacher AAPC as a psychometrically valid measure of academic problems in adolescents with ADHD. Parents and teachers offered unique perspectives on the academic functioning of adolescents with ADHD, indicating the complementary roles of these informants in the assessment process. According to parent and teacher reports,adolescents with ADHD displayed problematic academic behaviors in multiple daily tasks,with time management and planning deficits appearing most pervasive. Adolescents with ADHD display heterogeneous academic problems that warrant detailed assessment prior to treatment. As a result, the AAPC may be a useful tool for clinicians and school staff conducting targeted assessments with these youth.

In a nationwide survey of high school dropouts conducted in 2006, 69 percent said that school had not motivated or inspired them to work hard. The majority of educational reforms have focused on curriculum and pedagogy--what material is taught and how it is taught. However, psychological factors--often called motivational or non-cognitive factors--can matter even more than cognitive factors for students' academic performance. These may include students' beliefs about themselves, their feelings about school, or their habits of self-control. The research reviewed in this paper shows that educational interventions and initiatives that target these psychological factors can transform students' experience and achievement in school, improving core academic outcomes such as GPA and test scores months and even years later. This report also explains how long-term learning is influenced by academic tenacity--mindsets and skills that allow students to work harder and &quot;smarter&quot; over time.
The Impact of &quot;DSM-5&quot; A-Criteria Changes on Parent Ratings of ADHD in Adolescents

Objective: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5) A-criteria for ADHD were expanded to include new descriptors referencing adolescent and adult symptom manifestations. This study examines the effect of these changes on symptom endorsement in a sample of adolescents with ADHD (N = 259; age range = 10.72-16.70). Method: Parent ratings were collected and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.; DSM-IV-TR) and DSM-5 endorsement of ADHD symptoms were compared. Results: Under the DSM-5, there were significant increases in reported inattention, but not hyperactivity/impulsivity (H/I) symptoms, with specific elevations for certain symptoms. The average adolescent met criteria for less than one additional symptom under the DSM-5, but the correlation between ADHD symptoms and impairment was attenuated when using the DSM-5 items. Impulsivity items appeared to represent adolescent deficits better than hyperactivity items. Results were not moderated by demographic factors. Conclusion: In a sample of adolescents with well-diagnosed DSM-IV-TR ADHD, developmental symptom descriptors led parents to endorse slightly more symptoms of inattention, but this elevation is unlikely to be clinically meaningful.

&quot;The Internet and the Google Age&quot; commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the Internet in March 2014 and celebrates the achievements and benefits while also pointing out the limitations and perils of the Internet. It identifies the broad characteristics of the Internet age, and includes several studies that outline the educational benefits of the Internet and social media platforms like Facebook which connect families in the diaspora. &quot;The Internet and the Google Age&quot; also looks at the place of faith and religion on the Internet. It describes how life in our digital world is both exciting and challenging. An excellent introduction to Internet Studies, the book predicts that life will become more and more digitalized and how the current demarcation between private and public spheres, home and office, human and non humans (robots) will become less and less apparent as the Internet becomes more interwoven into our lives. The following chapters are included: (1) The Internet and the Google Age: Introduction (Jonathan D. James); (2) Patterns of Internet usage in the Philippines (Iremae D. Labucay); (3) The gendered search to connect: Females and social media in rural, Northern Ireland (Anne Rice); (4) Online religious advertising: The case of Australian Christian youth festivals (Paul Emerson Teusner); (5) The computer revolution and evangelical mission research and strategy: An historical overview (Michael Jaffarian); (6) Searching for French civilization: Reflections on situating information literacy skills in an undergraduate curriculum (Carmel O'Reilly); (7) Purposeful searching: Training students in Internet literacy for Italian studies (Etáin Watson); (8) Symbolic instruments and the Internet mediation of knowledge and expertise (Nicola F. Johnson); and (9) The Internet: Friend, foe or target? (Jonathan D. James). A name index is included.
Exploration Stage. Scaling-Up Brief. Number 4

Subjects: Educational Change,Change Strategies,Educational Innovation,Success,Costs,Program Implementation,Teamwork,Cost Effectiveness

Initiation of meaningful change in organizations and systems begins with the Exploration Stage of implementation. Exploration Stage processes are designed to assure mutually informed agreement to proceed with use of an innovation; both the Implementation Team and the organization understand what is to be done, how it will be done, and the resources and timelines for doing it. This brief discusses how Exploration Stage processes help systems use resources to maximize the benefits of innovations. Data from previous studies reviewed in this brief show that desired outcomes for recipients are more likely to occur when organizations go into the process armed with information about the innovation, implementation supports, resources, risks, and time required to reach the goal of using an innovation with fidelity to produce improved outcomes.

Educators are prone to say, &quot;we are unique&quot; meaning that their school, district, region, or state education system is unlike any other. The State Capacity Assessment and District Capacity Assessment baseline data collected by the State Implementation and Scaling-up of Evidence-based Practices (SISEP) Center support the assertion of uniqueness--the data vary along every dimension. This brief discusses how an implementation infrastructure in the form of Implementation Teams can be developed to account for the variability in education systems and the units within those systems. Implementation Teams can make use of cutting edge knowledge to conduct implementation-informed work in regions, districts, and schools so that teachers have adequate support for effective instruction when interacting with students in the classroom. Existing unmanageable structures can be modified to produce greatly improved and predictable outcomes for students.

This chapter consists of a short history of the impact of computer technology on Christian evangelical mission research from the 1970's to the present. The trail winds through World Vision, MARC, the &quot;World Christian Encyclopedia,&quot; &quot;Operation World,&quot; SIL, OC International, DAWN, Global Mapping International, the AD2000 and Beyond Movement, and Joshua Project. Attention is given to projects in Asia, to some remarkable contributions from and to Silicon Valley, and to the origin of the well known missionary strategic map the &quot;10/40 Window&quot;. It ends with a discussion of tools and tasks, of whether the Internet and computers have helped or harmed the Christian missionary enterprise. [For the full volume, see ED576666. This article was published published in the &quot;International Bulletin of Missionary Research&quot; under the title: &quot;The Computer Revolution and Its Impact on Evangelical Mission Research and Strategy&quot; (in January, 2009, 33,1, pp. 33-37).]
Online Religious Advertising: The Case of Australian Christian Youth Festivals

This chapter explores the changing nature of Christian denominational discourse in an Australian context as informed by Internet technologies. It will take as its case study three Internet sites developed and published for the promotion of three separate Christian youth festivals held in Australia between July 2008 and January 2009, undertaking a discursive analysis of their structures, content and design to examine how Internet and institutional religion interact in delivering a Christian message to contemporary Australian young people. The analysis will show that, despite the diverse theological positions, convention goals and approaches to the Internet, all three sites are surprisingly similar in form, while the content stays true to denominational tradition. The study raises questions about the intersection of technology, culture and religion and in particular, how the contours of Christian diversity in Australia are being redrawn, so that membership to a particular denomination, institution or group can no longer define what kind of Christian any Australian is.

Technology has changed family life and nowadays most of us live in &quot;virtual homes&quot; from which we can connect with anyone, anywhere. This has the potential to improve the quality of social capital between geographically separated family members. Social capital refers to the relationships individuals form with each other and the resources obtained from these relationships (Coleman, 1988; Halpern, 2005). It is a concept that differentiates between bridging (weak ties that provide information) and bonding (strong bonds that provide emotional support) social capital (Putnam, 2000). This chapter reveals that social networking websites such as Facebook help maintain connections between family at home and those that have emigrated. As such, a new level of global family social capital (Rice, 2014) has emerged in the social networking era. However, for rural families it is often the case that mothers are at the center of global family social capital and fathers remain on the margins. This chapter outlines the under-representation of rural fathers in terms of social networking use and discusses what impact this has on them as individuals and more widely on established social capital theory.

This chapter reports on the patterns of Internet use in the Philippines using survey data gathered by Social Weather Stations (SWS), a social research institute in the Philippines. As of March 2014, Internet usage rose to 35 percent of the population compared to 9 percent in 1998. However, the data indicates the presence of digital divide in Internet use with Internet use being higher in the capital city, in urban areas, among the middle-to-upper classes, college graduates and the youth. Filipino Internet users access the Internet largely for social networking rather than information seeking or learning, creativity and commercial activities, and entertainment and leisure.

In this fast-changing information age, teachers and students can feast at a banquet of material on the Internet. This is a very good thing in these tight economic times, when education systems are strapped for cash and many arts and music courses are being cut in favor of classes to develop so-called marketable skills, such as business, biology or chemistry. So, teachers of language and language arts often try to find materials on the Internet to excite their students' interest. In this study, which reveals a teaching-learning approach, the students from the Dublin Institute of Technology in Ireland created their own virtual language environment as the teacher guided the students to search for resources on the Internet. In order to make the most of student time, I provided initial guidelines to help the students get good materials. First I taught them how to discriminate among sources, filter search results and document sources. [For the full volume, see ED576666.]
Searching for French Civilization: Reflections On Situating Information Literacy Skills in an Undergraduate Curriculum

This chapter questions and reflects on the changing role of the foreign language and civilization lecturer as educator, when information literacy skills are situated in an undergraduate curriculum. As such, it does not set itself the task of providing solutions. Instead, it considers all the complications which occur en route to a greater use of Internet-based information sources within the discipline of French studies. In a departure from standard academic writing, I am inserting myself directly in the argument which follows a trajectory from my initial reluctance towards the Internet and the changes required of me in order to adapt. This chapter uses existing research to outline the current state of play regarding the digital debate within education. However, rather than reaching a specific conclusion, this chapter captures a recent moment of a situation in flux within higher education.

In this chapter, I demonstrate how Bourdieu's (1991) notion of symbolic instruments, that is structured and structuring structures, can be applied to the Internet to demonstrate the mediation and construction of knowledge and validation of expertise. This qualitative pilot study explored the online language and interrelationship between expertise, authority and constructions of knowledge. The structuring structures of five technology-focused websites are mapped in order to convey how the structured structures of online discourse mediate knowledge and expertise. The portrayal and authorization of &quot;experts&quot; within these online forums help to shape the way that knowledge is constructed, contested and shared in the twenty-first century. This article extends Bourdieu's (1990) theory of practice in two ways: (1) arguing that the Internet is a field comprised of many sub-fields, and (2) identifying some of the symbolic instruments that structure and are structuring knowledge and expertise via social media available on the Internet.
