Piecing together the puzzle: development of the Societal Attitudes towards Autism (SATA) scale     

Luci N. Flood  Amanda Bulgrin  Betsy L. Morgan 《Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs》2013,13(2):121-128

The rise in the prevalence of autism creates a need for a reliable and valid measure of attitudes towards autism. The current study describes the development of a brief 16‐ item measure of Societal Attitudes towards Autism (SATA) that exhibits sound psychometric properties and has a demonstrated ability to discriminate between expert and general college student samples. The final SATA was the result of pilot work on 75 items and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on a 45‐item version with 475 undergraduates. Knowledge and personal distance subscales yielded inconsistent reliability and validity outcomes. The SATA showed strong content and construct validity as evidenced by known groups discrimination, and predicted associations with an attitude towards disability measure, an autism preference item, and a measure of implicit attitudes towards disabilities.  相似文献

From the disjunction between passive and active instruction approaches towards their integration as an alternative for the significant learning of sustainable development / De la disyuntiva entre los enfoques de instrucción pasiva y activa hacia su integración como alternativa para un aprendizaje significativo del desarrollo sostenible

Abstract

This study aims to show how the integration of passive and active learning approaches contributes towards the significant understanding of problems associated with sustainable development. To do this, a case study from the municipality of San Miguel de Achiutla in Oaxaca, Mexico, is used as a general method, with the specific procedure including an instrument based on secondary sources representing the passive learning phase, as well as an instrument created on the basis of primary sources, designed in relation to the active learning component. The passive learning phase enabled us to identify variables pertaining to the highly vulnerable dimensions of sustainable development, and to also detect areas in which there is a deficit of information, since not all data are available, while the active learning phase revealed the causes of vulnerability from the perspective of different agents, including those who experienced the issues directly. In view of the above, we conclude that rather than being exclusive, these two different approaches should in fact be complementary.  相似文献

Factors Influencing Military Police Officers in Their Decision in Selecting Higher Educational Institutions     

James J. Vardalis  Shannon N. Waters 《Journal of Criminal Justice Education》2013,24(4):479-492

The active duty personnel in the United States Armed Forces exceed 1,411,932. When combined with reserve units and auxiliary units, the number of personnel surpasses 2 million. Due to the nature of worldwide urban conflict, a great number of military personnel are subjected to, assigned to, or affiliated with some type of criminal‐justice‐related duty. These urban situations and associated policing‐type experiences have captured the interest of many active duty personnel. Countless military members are currently planning honorable discharge and re‐entry into civilian life and seeking educational degrees as a resource for access into a criminal justice career. Educational benefits for veterans offer an enormous advantage to the military personnel. On 1 August 2009, these benefits, which include tuition, books, and housing, were expanded to veterans with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Little is known about this vast group of potential students and what factors play a role in their selecting a college or university. Based on a survey of over 300 active duty military personnel currently assigned to criminal justice duty, the authors were able to extract some important findings on this subject. The factors obtained include, among others, preferred type of course delivery and the importance of official statements of military support. Based on the evidence collected and analyzed, this research exposed and examined several important findings.  相似文献
