Box 1346 Ann Aitor, Ml 48106-1346 Copyright by Jacqueline B. Miller 2000 ABSTRACT The major assumption underlying this research is that all knowledge and understanding about statistics is constructed- Given that students construct their own knowledge, teaching must be designed to support knowledge construction. In this context, the global purpose addressed in this research is: "How do accomplished statistics educators support knowledge construction in their introductory statistics courses?" This global purpose is studied by attending to two more manageable questions: 1) What instructional strategies are being used in and around the statistics classroom?, and 2) What are the results of an analysis of these instructional strategies when the analysis is grounded in a constructivist perspective? "The Quest for the Constructivist Statistics Classroom" is a qualitative research study that investigated the teaching of four accomplished statistics educators (Paul Velleman at Cornell University, David Moore at Purdue University, Gudmund Iversen at Swarthmore College, and Beth Chance at California Polytechnic State University). Data collection methods included e-mail questionnaires, on-site interviews, and classroom observations of the participants. 11 Instructional strategies employed by the participants were grouped into categories: strategies for how students come to know statistics; strategies involving technology; and, strategies for assessing student leaming. For the purpose of data analysis, the following definition of constructivism was used: Constructivism is a theoiy of leaming that allows students to develop and constmct their own understanding of the material based upon their own knowledge and beliefs and experiences in concert with new knowledge presented in the classroom. During the analysis, it was decided that the instmctional strategies being used in the participants' classrooms did not dichotomously support or not support constructivism, but rather supported constructivism to varying degrees. Some findings of the study included: 1) all four participants supported student construction of knowledge to some degree; 2) each of the participants employed multiple instructional strategies to involve the students in the leaming process; and, 3) class size impacted the ability of the instructors to employ instructional strategies that were more supportive of knowledge constmction. In addition, a series of questions intended to inspire further thought and research emerged from the study. Ill Dedicated to my grandmother, Janet Cole Friedman (1914-1990), who would have been so proud, and to my grandfather, Edward Donald Friedman (1913- ), who has been waiting a long time for this document. IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First I need to thank my participants, Paul Velleman, David Moore, Gudmund Iversen, and Beth Chance, without whom this dissertation would not exist. My experience working with each of these participants was a delight. 1 look forward to continued contact with each of them. Each of my committee members deserves an enormous amount of thanks. Emmalou Norland, my education co-advisor, took me on as an advisee when I was in search of a new education co-advisor. Emmalou was interested in my topic from the beginning and encouraged me in many ways. Emmalou not only supported my writing and efforts throughout the entire process, she introduced me to a wonderful group of people in the College of Education who also supported my efforts. Bill Notz, my statistics co-advisor, has been a constant source of support for me during my tenure as a graduate student and as a lecturer. Suzanne Damarin, as an instructor, committee member, and friend, continually challenged me to push my boundaries of thought. Finally, from the first day I talked to Doug Wolfe about becoming a statistics educator, Doug encouraged me to pursue this goal. Doug was in some ways responsible for me coming back to school, has supported me throughout, and stands by me as 1 finish. Many thanks again to these four wonderful people. Thanks also to Raylene Kos for serving as a peer reviewer for my work. Rayiene both supported my writing and pushed me to think deeper about issues than I would have on my own. Thanks to my writing group, Kate, Cindy, and Carla, who read many drafts of my work and always provided helpful suggestions. In addition, I thank these women for their friendship and support. Thanks to Diana for her continued help and support, as well as for challenging my thinking. Thanks also to Diana, James, and Chris for including me as an important part of the family. Thanks to my parents, Judith F. Miller and Marvin S. Schwartz, who have continually supported my efforts and have inspired me to be a good person. There are many others who, while unnamed, have contributed to this work in some way or another. My hope is that these individuals know that they have my thanks. And, finally, 1 thank my two dogs, Samantha and Maggie, who have put up with many long days while 1 was working on this research. Samantha, my boxer, has been the one constant in my life throughout my entire graduate career and has grown with me. And Maggie, my dalmatian, deserves thanks just because she's brought some fun and excitement to our lives. © VI VITA June 16, 1968 ...................................

A Neuro-Educational Assessment is a highly specialized type of evaluation of your child’s complex needs. It is the nexus of a psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessment. A psycho-educational assessment is conducted when there are no medical/neurological concerns, but there are academic concerns. An example of when this type of evaluation is needed is when either the parent(s) or the school is concerned that the child is not progressing academically due to a learning disability or behavioral concern.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

Schwartz Kimi Kondo-Brown © 2011, Sang-Gu Kang I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It would have been impossible to complete this dissertation without the help of a great many people and organizations. I owe so much to my chair, William O’Grady, who trained me to become a linguist and encouraged me to always aim high. His generous support and expertise help fueled everything from experiment designs to data analysis and writing. I will always remember his challenging, but warm-hearted guidance. I would like to extend my deepest and sincere appreciation to my committee members. This work owes a lot to their support and valuable comments. I was able to expand my background knowledge of language acquisition and experiment procedures when I was taking Kamil Ud Deen’s classes in the first couple of years in the program. Also, his kind support was always encouraging. I also thank Luca Onnis for his expertise in bilingualism. It was when I was taking his class that I was able to encounter a lot of literature and start thinking about how I should introduce my work. Then, the enthusiasm of Bonnie D. Schwartz inside and outside the classroom always inspired me. Her relentless work ethic and analytic skills were admirable.

Duties of the Psychologists The Principal Educational Psychologist (PEP) is a member of the Education Department’s senior management team and also provides Psychological Services to a patch of schools with their related caseload.

  • The Role of the Educational Psychologist
    The Role of Educational Psychology Why educational psychology? We are experts in helping people solve complex, persistent problems that interfere with a young person’s learning. Educational psychologists have a minimum of six years’ university education. All educational psychologists have at least a Master’s degree, and most have additional qualifications and experience. We are all registered with the New Zealand Psychologists Board1 and required to maintain a high standard of ethical practice2 with regular supervision and yearly audit of our practice. How can we help you? We understand the learner in natural settings Educational psychologists look at what is happening for the child as a whole person. We work anywhere that learning takes place. That includes early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education, but also family homes, marae, workplaces and many community organisations. In this way, we gain a comprehensive view of the different settings in which a young person is living. We support those who are often the most disadvantaged and have a special concern for the wellbeing and learning of Māori and Pasifika. We help people solve their own problems Educational psychologists help people understand situations differently so they can resolve their problems. We often take the lead in facilitating meetings with a variety of professionals in multi- disciplinary teams, as well as with children, whānau and caregivers. This allows us to elicit the expertise of others. Educational psychologists are trained in listening and managing conflict, and are especially skilled at getting everyone to participate and contribute to a 3 successful outcome. The parents and teaching team at a school planning meeting were at a loss how to help of a 9 year old boy learn to read, despite delivering a very intensive sight recognition and phonics programme.
