A Paradigm Shift in Classroom Learning Practices to Propose Methods Aligned with a Neuroeducation Conceptual Framework by Bonnie Elain Robb A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Learning and Leading University of Portland School of Education 2016 iii Abstract The overall purpose of this study was to propose an alignment between the research reported in the literature on language acquisition and language function and how that research is represented in current literacy practices. This study considered neuroscience, which can provide critical insights into how children learn, alongside theories of cognitive psychology, which help educators understand how children learn to think. Overlapping neuroscience and cognitive psychology, language both represents thinking and mediates thinking; a critical component for literacy acquisition. The study both develops and recommends a paradigm shift in classroom learning practices that are aligned to Arwood’s Neuroeducation theoretical framework. The literature was triangulated through the overlap of language theory, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience to explore and develop neuroeducation definition for language, language acquisition, learning and their impact upon the acquisition of literacy processes. Four questions were addressed. First, common instructional practices were identified and analyzed, finding behaviorism and cognitive psychology as the dominant theories underlying prevalent literacy instructional practices. Next, an examination of the literature provided evidence to identify tenets aligning with neuroeducation. Third, transcribed interactions between students and teacher in a second grade classroom were analyzed and coded using the three lenses of neuroeducation. The coding cycles determined that conceptual elements identified iv within the review of literature could also be found in classroom practice. Finally, nine years of reading data (Developmental Reading Assessment) from a teacher in a first grade environment based upon language acquisition and neuroscience from a low- income, high English Language Learner population was analyzed; after year three, 90% or more students met or exceeded district proficiency levels, demonstrating the efficacy of the neuroeducation model. The study adds to the literature by delineating language function versus language structure in classroom practice. This research adds to the emerging field of neuroeducation by introducing the impact of the acquisition and function of language on the development of the function and structures of the brain. This study also provides data demonstrating the efficacy of a neuroeducation based learning environment. This research recommends neuroscience and language theory become part of future teacher education programs for future systemic change. v Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge several individuals who were instrumental in its completion. To my mother Jackie, who paved my way to higher education by showing by example that it could be done and my father Bob, the proudest dad on the University of Portland campus. Also, to my son Alexander, whose future was always on my mind as this work was completed. Fifteen years ago, I had the privilege of taking a class from Dr. Ellyn Arwood, and my personal and professional life has never been the same. As my doctoral chair, she has encouraged, cajoled, pushed, prodded, suggested, and read innumerable pages of my writing while steering me through this complex process of scholarship. I am forever in your debt. I want to acknowledge the committee members who took the time to read and reflect on this work: Dr. Phyllis Egby, Dr. Peter Thacker, Dr. Julie Kalnin, and Dr. Sara Hahn. Each one of you brought a unique perspective to the project, helping to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Finally, I appreciate each one of the doctoral students who have made this crazy journey as the first cohort along with me. We are all evidence of the power of the process of learning as we have argued, agonized, and acquired new information together. I know what we have contributed as a group will make a lasting impact upon our profession and upon each other. vi Dedication The scope of this project would not have been possible without the love of my life, my amazing husband Mark. From the first day until the last, he has been a support, my rock, sounding board, editor, graphic designer, video editor, tech support and shoulder to cry on. If there was an honorary doctorate for learning and reading almost as much as a doctoral student, he has earned it, with honors. Thank you my love…this would not have been possible without you. vii Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................ iii Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................... v Dedication ..................................................................................................................... vi List of Figures ............................................................................................................... x List of Tables ............................................................................................................... xii Chapter 1 ....................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................. 1 Background ............................................................................................................................ 1 Statement of the Problem ..................................................................................................... 9 Conceptual Frameworks .................................................................................................... 12 Purpose of the Study ........................................................................................................... 14 Methods ................................................................................................................................ 17 Results .................................................................................................................................. 19 Summary .............................................................................................................................. 20 Chapter 2 ..................................................................................................................... 23 Review of Literature ................................................................................................... 23 Historical Context of Literacy Instructional Practices in the United States ................. 24 1700-1950: Access to literacy…For Some ...................................................................... 25 1950-Present: Access to Literacy…For All ..................................................................... 29 Cognitive Psychology ....................................................................................................... 30 Language Theory .............................................................................................................. 33 Neuroscience ..................................................................................................................... 34 The Dominant Paradigm: Teaching and Learning .......................................................... 36 Tenets Influencing Current Instructional Practices .......................................................... 37 What is Learning? ............................................................................................................... 43 Learning – A Neuroscience View ..................................................................................... 44 Learning – A Cognitive Psychology View ....................................................................... 46 Learning – A Language Theory View .............................................................................. 47 viii Language .............................................................................................................................. 49 English Language ............................................................................................................. 49 What is Language? - Neuroscience ................................................................................. 55 What is Language? –Cognitive Psychology ....................................................................

    NIEUWE RELEASES KLIK OP DE HOES VOOR DE SINGLE (mits beschikbaar) LEONARD COHEN – You Want It Darker CD/LP 'You Want It Darker', een paar weken geleden werd deze titeltrack vrijgegeven online en ik was meteen verkocht. Ik vond de vorige plaat 'Populair Problems' al fantastisch maar 'You Want It Darker' overtreft het op alle vlakken. Donkere plaat met veel verwijzingen naar de dood bijvoorbeeld wat op zich niet vreemd is gezien zijn leeftijd (82). Prachtig en ontroerend meesterwerk van deze levende legende! Het wordt druk boven in de top tien albums van het jaar.... KENSINGTON – Control CD/LP ‘Control’ is het nieuwe album van Kensington, het Utrechtse viertal dat zich de afgelopen jaren heeft ontwikkeld tot één van de grootste bands van het land. Niet alleen door het succesvolle album ‘Rivals’ maar ook door hun live reputatie waarmee ze de festival- en live podia (én maar liefst 4x in onze winkel!) hebben veroverd. Eerste single van het album ‘Control’ is ‘Do I Ever’. Het album is gelimiteerd verkrijgbaar als cd digipack inclusief een 20 pagina booklet én op vinyl (eerste oplage is genummerd en gekleurd vinyl). KORN – Serenity of Suffering CD/CD-Deluxe/LP/LP-Deluxe 'Serenity of Suffering' is het 12e studio album van de nu-metal band Korn. Volgens gitarist Brian Welch is deze plaat een stuk zwaarder en steviger dan dat iemand in een lange tijd heeft gehoord. Het album is de opvolger van 'The Paradigm Shift' uit 2013 en werd geproduceerd door Grammy-award winnende producer Nick Raskulinecsz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Mastodon). Op de deluxe versie staan twee extra tracks.

The German social-philosophical tradition of Critical Theory has recently undergone what its current practitioners have themselves described as a “paradigm shift”. Writers like Jurgen Habermas and Kari-Otto Apel are today attempting to reformulate the socially-critica! insights of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno in new terms. Where Horkheimer and Adorno had tried to articulate their critique of existing social relations in a language of “subjectivity” and “objectivity” drawn largely from the classical German philosophical tradition, Habermas and Apel are trying to formulate an - ostensibly - similar critique in a language of “a priori intersubjectivity” drawn from the “ordinary language” and “speech-act" theory which has emerged since the Second World War in the Anglo-American philosophical sphere.

  • The Relationship Between the Aristotelian, Newtonian and Holistic Scientific Paradigms and Selected British Detective Fiction 1980 - 2010
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ARISTOTELIAN, NEWTONIAN AND HOLISTIC SCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS AND SELECTED BRITISH DETECTIVE FICTION 1980 - 2010 HILARY ANNE GOLDSMITH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Greenwich for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2010 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge the help and support I have received throughout my studies from the academic staff at the University of Greenwich, especially that of my supervisors. I would especially like to acknowledge the unerring support and encouragement I have received from Professor Susan Rowland, my first supervisor. iii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationship between key elements of the Aristotelian, Newtonian and holistic scientific paradigms and contemporary detective fiction. The work of scholars including N. Katherine Hayles, Martha A. Turner has applied Thomas S. Kuhn’s notion of scientific paradigms to literary works, especially those of the Victorian period. There seemed to be an absence, however, of research of a similar academic standard exploring the relationship between scientific worldviews and detective fiction. Extending their scholarship, this thesis seeks to open up debate in what was perceived to be an under-represented area of literary study. The thesis begins by identifying the main precepts of the three paradigms. It then offers a chronological overview of the developing relationship between these precepts and detective fiction from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of Four (1890) to P.D.James’s The Black Tower (1975). The present state of this interaction is assessed through a detailed analysis of representative examples of the detective fiction of Reginald Hill, Barbara Nadel, and Quintin Jardine written between 1980 and 2010.

  • Paradigm Shifts in Training and Development: a Naturalistic Study of Management Cha Ring Organization Transformation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Brigitta E. Olsen for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education presented on November 30, 1993. Title: Paradigm Shifts in Training and Development: A Naturalistic Study of Management Cha ring Organization Transformation Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Ruth Stiehl The need for organizational transformation is a response to a larger paradigm shift occurring in science and society. It represents a shift from the mechanistic model to a systems, holistic model. The purpose of this study was to determine patterns and practices that limit training effectiveness when facilitating a major organizational paradigm shift. A literature survey identified major clashes between those values and tools of organizational models based on the new paradigm and those of bureaucracy, bureaucratic management and training relationships, domains and dynamics. Participant observation and interviews were the methods used to collect data from a study group of 15 upper middle managers involved as a pilot management team in the first year of TQM implementation at a public university. The group was closely observed during five months of training and 10 participants were interviewed at the end of the first year of implementation. Their stories revealed four obstacles to transformation: 1) managers were coerced into complying, change was imposed from above, there were no appropriate support systems and fear was endemic; 2) the management team had more difficulty than non-management TQM teams learning the mechanics of TQM, claiming they didn't have necessary learning skills; 3) managers protected themselves by rewriting the rules of TQM to fundamentally preserve the status quo; 4) managers defined the TQM effort a success without substantive personal change, pushing responsibility down and praise up in the organization.

Korn’s cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, California-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy Snuts” Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP in 1993, the members of LAPD crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself Korn. After signing to Epic’s Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose in the charts, eventually going gold. Its 1996 follow- up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer, they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines when a student in Zeeland, Michigan, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the group’s logo (the school’s principal later declared their music “indecent, vulgar, and obscene,” prompting the band to issue a cease-and-desist order).
