Brokering educational opportunity for homeless students and their families     

Peter M. Miller  Alexandra Pavlakis  Lea Samartino  Alexis Bourgeois 《International journal of qualitative studies in education》2013,26(6):730-749

This qualitative study in a Midwestern US city examines how school and community-based organizations support homeless students’ connections to education-related resources and relationships. Drawing from organizational brokerage theory, which delineates how individuals’ chances to thrive are shaped by the organizations in which they participate, the study finds that brokerage practice unfolds and is affected by variables at three specific levels. First, social workers, teachers, and principals at the individual school level arranged for registration, enrollment, and other immediate connections for students. Second, school district-level actors played key roles in orchestrating homeless students’ transportation and educators’ professional development across the city. Third, a range of neighborhood factors – including immigration and housing trends – affected the ways and extents to which organizations identified and supported homeless students. The study concludes by presenting several implications for research and practice.  相似文献   

Children's help seeking and impulsivity     

Minna Puustinen  Marja Kokkonen  Asko Tolvanen  Lea Pulkkinen 《Learning and individual differences》2004,14(4):231-246

The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between students' (100 children aged 8 to 12) help-seeking behavior and impulsivity. Help-seeking behavior was evaluated using a naturalistic experimental paradigm in which children were placed in a problem-solving situation and had the opportunity to seek help from the experimenter, if needed. Impulsivity was analyzed using the Hyperactivity–Impulsivity Scale from the Teacher Rating Form of the Multidimensional Peer Nomination Inventory (TR-MPNI), Circle Tracing Task (CTT), Matching Familiar Figures (MFF), and Impulsiveness and Venturesomeness scales from the Eysenck Junior I₆ questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that impulsivity was not related to children's question asking. Different correlational patterns were found for question asking and other help-seeking variables (i.e., performance scores and mean reflection time preceding question asking). The two Eysenck Junior I₆ scales showed no significant correlations with other measures. The importance of considering the many sidedness of both help-seeking and impulsivity constructs is discussed.  相似文献   

A Class-Wide Intervention for Improving Homework Performance     

Lea A. Theodore PhD  Richard J. DioGuardi PhD  Tammy L. Hughes PhD  Danielle Aloiso PsyD  Melissa Carlo  Darren Eccles 《Journal of educational and psychological consultation》2013,23(4):275-299

Homework completion has an important impact on the overall academic functioning of students. Consultation requests often center on identifying efficient interventions so that teachers may facilitate the homework process and enhance students' academic achievement. This investigation employed a randomized interdependent group contingency and randomized reinforcers to improve homework completion and accuracy of spelling performance in 21 elementary school students. An ABAB reversal design across all students was employed. Results showed this intervention to have a positive impact on both spelling homework completion and accuracy rates. Limitations, future research, and contributions are addressed.  相似文献

Case study of childhood disintegrative disorder— Heller's syndrome     

Melissa A. Bray  Thomas J. Kehle  Lea A. Theodore  Matthew S. Broudy 《Psychology in the schools》2002,39(1):101-109

The case of a 25‐year‐old male with childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD), or Heller's syndrome, is discussed in terms of differential diagnosis, progression of the disorder, and suggestions for home‐ and school‐based interventions. The case documents the progressive deterioration of cognitive and social competencies. Given the paucity of research and information with respect to CDD, further clinical investigation is suggested. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献

Behavioral Precursors to Accidents and Resulting Physical Impairment   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

Lea Pulkkinen 《Child development》1995,66(6):1660-1679

The main goal of the study was to determine, within a model of emotional and behavioral regulation, if there are developmental precursors to accidents and resulting physical impairment. Data collected at ages 8 and 14 with 147 males and 142 females using peer nomination and teacher rating were related to the number of types of accidents the subjects had been in and impairment as a result of an accident by the age of 27 when the subjects were interviewed on their health. The results showed that 44% of the men and 14% of the women had been in an accident. Severe effects on health were obtained for 19% of the men and 5% of the women. Accidents and impairment were most frequent among individuals whose behavior had been characterized by low emotional and behavioral control. The most generalized predictor of accidents and impairment was noncompliance in childhood. In adult-hood, heavy drinking increased the risk of accidents. Aggression and conduct problems were the most significant precursors to male impairment, although several subgroups of men who were impaired were found. For females, the predictions of accidents and impairment were less accurate than for males.  相似文献   

Optimizing Word Learning via Links to Perceptual and Motoric Experience     

Lea?A.?HaldEmail author  Jacqueline?de?Nooijer  Tamara?van?Gog  Harold?Bekkering 《Educational Psychology Review》2016,28(3):495-522

The aim of this review is to consider how current vocabulary training methods could be optimized by considering recent scientific insights in how the brain represents conceptual knowledge. We outline the findings from several methods of vocabulary training. In each case, we consider how taking an embodied cognition perspective could impact word learning. The evidence we review suggests that vocabulary training methods can be optimized by making a congruent link between the words to learn and one’s own perceptual and motoric experiences. In particular, we suggest that motoric information about the meaning of a word could be incorporated into more standard vocabulary training methods. Finally, we consider the impact an embodied cognitive perspective may have on other characteristics of word learning, such as individual differences in learning and variations in learning different types of words, for example words from different word classes and words in different contexts.  相似文献
