Successful Concurrent Programs: An EXCELerate Program in Oklahoma     

Juanita Gamez Vargas  Rick Roach  Kevin M. David 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2014,38(2-3):166-173

The article presents the implementation and findings of a successful collaborative effort with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE), Tulsa Community College (TCC), and two local public school districts, Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) and Union Public Schools (UPS). Known as EXCELerate, it's a five-semester dual enrollment pilot program that received state policy exceptions for juniors and seniors to enroll in dual enrollment courses and supportive resources from the participating agencies. Whereas the traditional dual enrollment student is White and college-going, the program's intent was to increase the number of high school students who may be first-generation, lower-socioeconomic, ethnic or non-ethnic. The article identifies three major barriers to successful dual enrollment and completion: state policy, financial issues, and transportation. It also examines how these barriers were eliminated through a collaborative effort. The results demonstrate that over 87% of the juniors and seniors persisted over the semesters, and enrollment tripled among African American and Latino students. The article is constructed to benefit further research and practical application for urban and rural community colleges.  相似文献   

Mentoring in black and white: the intricacies of cross‐cultural mentoring     

Juanita Johnson‐Bailey Associate Professor 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2013,21(1):7-21

Cross‐cultural mentoring relationships can be sites of struggle around the issues of race, class and gender. In addition, the mentor/protégé relationship offers micro‐cosmic insight into power relations within western society. The authors of this paper, a black woman associate professor and a white male professor, use the example of their mentoring relationship to illustrate six common issues facing academicians involved in these relationships: (1) trust between mentor and protégé; (2) acknowledged and unacknowledged racism; (3) visibility and risks pertinent to minority faculty; (4) power and paternalism; (5) benefits to mentor and protégé; and (6) the double‐edged sword of ‘otherness’ in the academy. Literature is used for review and critique of mentoring in the academy while offering personal examples to illustrate the complexity and success of a 13‐year mentoring relationship between a duo who began their association as teacher/student.  相似文献

Stability of switching linear systems with switching signals driven by stochastic processes     

Alessandro N. Vargas  Constantin F. Caruntu  João Y. Ishihara 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2019,356(1):31-41

This paper presents conditions to assure the exponential stability in probability for autonomous switching linear systems. The switching signal acting on the autonomous system produces intervals that follow independent, identically distributed stochastic processes—the stability then follows by verifying simple-to-check linear matrix inequalities.  相似文献   

The educator's point of view     

M.Eugenia Dengo de Vargas 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1993,39(1-2):19-24

The educator's point of view stresses the development potential of education, together with respect for human rights. It is seen that nations need to make clear policy statements in this respect, and the consequent planning and curricular issues, together with some relevant strategies, are indicated.

Zusammenfassung Im Standpunkt des Pädagogen wird gemeinsam mit der Anerkennung der Menschenrechte das Entwicklungspotential der Bildung betont. Nach Meinung des Autors müssen Nationen in diesem Zusammenhang klare politische Aussagen treffen, und der Artikel befaßt sich mit der entsprechenden Planung sowie Themen zum Curriculum und einigen relevanten Strategien.

Résumé Le point de vue de l'éducateur souligne le potentiel de développement offert par l'éducation, ainsi que le respect des droits humains. Il s'avère que chaque nation doit énoncer clairement sa politique à cet égard; l'auteur indique les questions de planification et de curriculum qui en découlent, ainsi que quelques stratégies pertinentes.

Blueprint for Bologna: University of Prishtina and the European Union     

Juanita Ross Epp  Walter Epp 《Interchange》2010,41(2):161-170

Countries hoping to demonstrate an adequate educational infrastructure need a national framework that meets Bologna requirements, a national accreditation agency which sets out the approved framework, and national accreditation processes by which individual institutions can be measured against the standards set by the national acvcreditation agency. For many countries, the national framework remains to be articulated, the accreditation processes are non-existent, and individual institutions have no means by which to assess their internal readiness for accreditation scrutiny. While the status of Kosovo as a separate entity remains unresolved, the institutions within the potential country struggle to meet the infrastructure conditions necessary for inclusion in the European Union. Ironically, the Faculty of Education at the University of Prishtina is in a remarkably advantageous position if it were to overcome the current political bickering and start the preparations required for meeting the education infrastructure criteria. This paper articulates that advantage by laying out the process by which this could be realized – with optimistic disregard for the political uncertainties that mitigate against its realization. It also provides a summary of the tasks that would need to be undertaken as part of this process.  相似文献   

Using transdisciplinary research to examine talent identification and development in sport     

Kristine Toohey  Clare MacMahon  Juanita Weissensteiner  Alana Thomson  Chris Auld  Anthony Beaton 《Sport in Society》2018,21(2):356-375

Abstract

Effective sport talent identification and development (TID) programmes are integral to a nation’s success in international sport. Using a transdisciplinary approach that involved sport practitioners and researchers with diverse theoretical perspectives, we investigated TID factors in four Australian sports (Australian rules football, cricket, kayaking and tennis). A transdisciplinary approach allowed us to isolate and explore a range of factors critical to successful sport TID. This methodological article explores how this project moved TID research beyond its paradigmatic, quantitative, sport science lens and advanced knowledge and practice in TID from both theoretical and applied perspectives. The use of a transdisciplinary approach in future TID research is recommended.  相似文献
