(Un)Expected Scholars: Counter-Narratives from Two (Boys) Men of Color Across the Educational Pipeline     

Louie F. Rodríguez  Wil Greer 《Equity & Excellence in Education》2017,50(1):108-120

There has been an upsurge of attention on the achievements and struggles of boys and men of color in the U.S. The recent flood of attention to police-involved shootings of African Americans and other people of color only exacerbate the need for a focus on this particular population. The White House announcement of My Brother's Keeper in 2014 aims to recognize and respond to the crisis facing boys and men of color. In addition, the work of various scholars has continued not only to acknowledge the crisis, but also advocate, push, and enact policies and practices relevant to boys and men of color. Empirical research has made clear the disparities in academic engagement and achievement, disciplinary practices, and the overall student experience. Less common, however, are the voices of students who once attended those schools, grew up in challenging environments, yet went on to become academically accomplished. The purpose of this article is to provide counter-narratives—those of the two authors—in an effort to give voice to the formative moments and opportunities that pushed us along our uncertain paths to earning doctorates. Given our approach, critical race theory (CRT) provides the guiding theoretical lens for this work. It is our hope that this article can help educators and students remain steadfast in their journeys and, to a degree, use counter-narratives as a practical and pedagogical tool. Implications for practice and policy are discussed.  相似文献   

A Technology-Based Peer Education Intervention: Results from a Sexual Health Textline Feasibility Study     

Teagen L. O'Malley  Katie Rose Horowitz  José Garth  Christina Mair  Jessica G. Burke 《American journal of sexuality education》2017,12(4):383-394

Sexuality health education is moving beyond the classroom, with technology expanding youth access to sexual health information. While text message services are increasingly being used to provide information, a peer education approach has yet to be incorporated. Results from this feasibility study support a sexual health textline (IOTAS), incorporating teens asking and answering questions. Our findings suggest IOTAS fills a gap for sexual health information, and the technology-based approach offers peer educators an opportunity to expand their knowledge of healthy sexual behaviors and educate an extended peer network. Further work to refine IOTAS will enable dissemination of the intervention model.  相似文献   

Faculty as Mentors in Undergraduate Research,Scholarship, and Creative Work: Motivating and Inhibiting Factors     

Vicki L. Baker  Meghan J. Pifer  Laura G. Lunsford  Jane Greer  Dijana Ihas 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2015,23(5):394-410

In this study, we sought to contribute to research about the high-impact practice of undergraduate research from the understudied faculty perspective. We relied on focus group data from faculty members (N = 41) across five institutions to better understand the supporting and inhibiting factors that contribute to faculty members’ engagement in mentoring undergraduate research. We offer implications for research and practice.  相似文献

Seasonal changes in body composition of inter-county Gaelic Athletic Association hurlers     

Robert W Davies  Clodagh Toomey  William McCormack  Cian O’Neill  Katie Hughes  Philip Jakeman 《Journal of sports sciences》2017,35(24):2427-2432

Longitudinal change in body composition for elite-level inter-county hurlers was reported over a single season and four consecutive seasons. Body composition measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of 66 senior, male, outfield players was obtained. Four successive measurements were taken: off-season (OFF₁), pre-season (PRE), mid-season (MID) and the off-season of the following season (OFF₂). A subsample of 11 hurlers were measured at all time points over 4 consecutive seasons. DXA-derived estimates of fat and lean mass were normalised to stature for analysis (kg?m^?2); data are (mean [lower: upper, 95% confidence interval]). A concurrent increase of lean mass (0.31 [0.19: 0.43] kg?m^?2) and loss of fat mass occurred (?0.38 [?0.50: ?0.26] kg?m^?2) OFF₁ to PRE. Lean mass accrual was maintained PRE to OFF₂ while the initial loss of fat mass was restored MID to OFF₂ (0.52 [0.40: 0.64] kg ? m^?2), with the trunk acting as the primary region of change. Over the four seasons, a net increase of lean mass was observed (~ 0.9 [0.4: 1.4] kg per annum) with a negligible overall change for fat mass over time. However, the cycling of fat mass (OFF to PRE and MID to OFF) within each season was recurrent season-to-season.  相似文献   

“Lift Up a Living Nation”: Community and Nation,Socialism and Religion in The English Hymnal, 1906     

Katie Palmer Heathman 《Cultural and Social History》2017,14(2):183-200

The lead editors of The English Hymnal (1906), Percy Dearmer and Ralph Vaughan Williams, found Victorian hymnody in need of serious revision, and not just aesthetically. This musical book was intended as an expression of the editors' Christian socialist politics involving in the participation of the congregation. This article examines how they achieved this by the encouragement of active citizenship through communal music-making, using folksong tunes alongside texts which affirmed community. This article argues that the editors wedded religion and high-quality music with a focus on citizenship drawn from British Idealism; using a cultural movement to seek social change.  相似文献   

The challenges of facilitating arts learning in home education     

Katie Burke 《British Educational Research Journal》2019,45(5):961-978

Home education, or home schooling, is a rapidly growing global educational phenomenon. Given the emphasis that educators, policy makers and researchers have placed upon the arts as an important element in a holistic education, the ways in which the growing home education community are facilitating arts learning warrants consideration. Facilitating quality arts learning has been found to be extremely challenging, especially for generalist classroom teachers who may not possess background learning across the range of arts subjects represented in most arts curricula. Revelations from this study on Australian home educating parents identifies a similar dilemma with the facilitation of arts learning in home contexts, and a significant proportion of the home educating participants acknowledged little to no educational or artistic training. In this project, an online survey was conducted to develop insights into the ways Australian home educators (n = 193) approach arts education, the challenges associated with facilitating arts learning and the strategies they employ in light of these challenges. The research highlights that, while home education is pedagogically unique and distinct from traditional classroom education, the challenges participants expressed regarding teaching in the arts aligned closely with those expressed by classroom teachers in wider research; however, the uniqueness of home education contexts means that support structures for classroom teachers are less helpful for home educators. Implications arising from the research are thus beneficial in understanding the nature of support that might be tailored for arts learning in home education.  相似文献   

Disturbing the silence of women metal workers     

Katie Wood 《档案与原稿》2018,46(1):83-89

This reflection explores the challenges encountered at the beginnings of a PhD thesis looking at the history of women in the metal trades in Australia. As workers in a traditionally male-dominated industry, initially excluded from both occupations and union membership, these women have been in many ways silenced in the archival record. Confronting and disturbing that silence has been important in the early stages of this project. In doing so, the author has been guided by longstanding scholarship in women’s labour history and more recent explorations in archival studies.  相似文献   

Operant variability when reinforcement is delayed     

Wagner K  Neuringer A 《Learning & behavior》2006,34(2):111-123

Operant responses are often weakened when delays are imposed between the responses and reinforcers. We examined what happens when delayed reinforcers were contingent upon operant responsevariability. Three groups of rats were rewarded for varying their response sequences, with one group rewarded for high variability, another for middle, and the third for low levels. Consistent with many reports in the literature, responding slowed significantly in all groups as delays were lengthened. Consistent with other reports, large differences in variability were maintained across the three groups despite the delays. Reinforced variability appears to be relatively immune to disruption by such things as delays, response slowing, prefeeding, and noncontingent reinforcement. Furthermore, the small effects on variability depended on baseline levels: As delays lengthened, variability increased in the low group, was statistically unchanged in the middle group, and decreased in the high group, an interaction similar to that reported previously when reinforcement frequencies were lowered. Thus, variable operant responding is controlled by reinforcement contingencies, but sometimes differently than more commonly studied repetitive responding.  相似文献
