    University of Alberta Is Participation in Family Role-play in Second Life Associated with Improved Social and Emotional Support and Well-Being Among Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders? by Laura Lynn Gilmour A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education in Special Education Department of Educational Psychology © Laura Lynn Gilmour Spring 2014 Edmonton, Alberta DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to everyone who encouraged me throughout my life from the time I was a young child with Asperger’s Syndrome struggling in the Nova Scotia school system to the present day. I thank my parents, Lynn and Barry Gilmour who have always believed I can do anything I want to do and that nothing can stop me. I also dedicate this thesis to my grandmother; Esther Gilmour who watches over me from heaven has been an important inspiration from childhood to present and always took great pride in my work while she was on earth. Last but not least, I dedicate this thesis to my undergraduate research supervisor and close friend, Dr. Melike Schalomon who helped me establish a direction in my undergraduate studies and helped me to believe in myself during a time in my life I was struggling and ultimately reach my dreams of graduate school. Abstract This study examines whether participation in Second Life (SL) among adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is associated with perceptions increased perceptions of emotional support and wellbeing. A total of 53 participants were included in the analysis: In the sample, 7 had ASD and used SL, 6 had ASD and did not use SL, 39 did not have ASD and were SL users, and 11 did not have ASD and did not use SL.

  • How and Why Teachers Use Real World Connections in the Secondary Mathematics Classroom
    How and Why Teachers use Real World Connections in the Secondary Mathematics Classroom by Suzanne Wuolle B.Ed., Simon Fraser University, 2012 B.Sc., Simon Fraser University, 2011 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Secondary Mathematics Education Program Faculty of Education © Suzanne Wuolle 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Suzanne Wuolle Degree: Master of Science Title: How and Why Teachers use Real World Connections in the Secondary Mathematics Classroom Examining Committee: Chair: David Pimm Adjunct Professor Peter Liljedahl Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Rina Zazkis Supervisor Professor Sean Chorney Internal/External Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: March 01, 2016 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Real world connections are considered to be an important aspect of a mathematics classroom. There is an abundance of literature that expresses how beneficial real world connections are for students. However, there is little literature that looks at a teacher’s point of view: what is a real world connection and how are teachers using these in their secondary mathematics classrooms? This study focuses on the teacher perspective of real world connections by surveying and subsequently interviewing participants within one school district. It can be concluded that there is still no global definition for real world connection, but there are trends that show teachers make connections in order to motivate students, increase their interest, and build skills that can be transferred into the real world, such as collaboration, independence, and communication. Keywords: real world connection; curriculum; motivation for real world connections; context; teacher perception of real world connections iv Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my partner, Ahmed Ayoub, for his unconditional support and patience.
