  • Country Economic Review
    Federated States of Micronesia Proceedings March 28 to April 2, 2004 Palikir, Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia FOREWORD To all participants of the 3rd FSM Economic Summit, I wish to thank you for your contributions to a successful Summit. I fully agree with the Floor Leader of the Pohnpei State Legislature, Fernando Scaliem, who said in his closing remarks, “I am confident that the results of this Summit will provide us with a realistic and viable road map for the future growth of our Nation.” I am pleased to see that broad participation was achieved during the Summit, including key contribu- tions from our traditional leaders, church groups, non-governmental and international donor organiza- tions. The spirited discussions during plenary sessions are a clear indication of the level importance our Nation’s representatives brought to this meeting. I wish to thank all of the Summit’s participants for their dedication and hard work. The goals of our Summit were to (a) increase awareness of the Compact, as amended; (b) achieve consensus on an overall economic strategy; and (c) improve the monitoring mechanisms to support economic growth. I’d like to take a moment to address these. As our nation continues on its journey toward economic self-reliance, we clearly face many chal- lenges, not least including the structure of the amended Compact with the annual decrement and par- tial inflation adjustment. The Select Committee formed during the Summit has chosen a high-growth scenario, and the Summit has endorsed this choice as well. This decision for economic growth will require an initial investment in reforms but will ultimately lead to a sustainable economy.

  • A Community Approach to Introducing Young Children to Early Mathematics: a Study of Kosraean Preschool Children in Their Homes
    A COMMUNITY APPROACH TO INTRODUCING YOUNG CHILDREN TO EARLY MATHEMATICS: A STUDY OF KOSRAEAN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN IN THEIR HOMES A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION DECEMBER 2014 By Tulensru Waguk Dissertation Committee: Neil Pateman, Chairperson Sandy Dawson Betsy Brenner Tom Craven Jerry Lipka ABSTRACT This study seeks to determine the impact of parents at home on the development of mathematical concepts among young children of preschool age. This study also looks into the influences of other members of the family, relatives, and the community in the mathematics development of the child-research participant. It focuses on the influences of parents and other members of the family to their children’s mathematics learning at home or in the community The study seeks to answer the following questions: 1. How do parents influence preschool children’s mathematics learning? 2. How do other members of the family and people in the community contribute to the mathematics development of preschool children? To seek answers to these questions, case studies of families were developed from focus group meetings, interviews with parents, observations of children at their homes, and parents’ diaries of children activities, which were kept in the home. Findings suggest that the various environments; although they are all island environments, differently influence both the development of mathematical language and the range of mathematics activities in the homes and community in which each child lives. The nuclear family influences, the extended family influences, and neighbors’ influences contributed to the mathematics development of each child.
