Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of acquiescence on both positively and negatively worded questions, both when unidimensionality was assumed and when it was not. To accomplish this, undergraduate student responses to a previously validated survey of student engagement were used to compare several models of acquiescence, using a priori goodness-offit statistics as evidence for model fit, in order to develop a model that adequately accounted for acquiescence bias. Using a true experimental design, undergraduate students from a variety of classes at a large, urban university were randomly assigned to one of three versions of the same survey of student engagement (all positively worded items, all negatively worded items, an equal balance of both positively and negatively worded items). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the results. Although the presence of acquiescence was confirmed for both positively and negatively worded items, it was not consistent by content scale or item polarization. This suggests that there may be an interaction between item polarization and content that may cause acquiescence to be present or absent. The scales that did not show acquiescence on the balanced survey portrayed a split factor loading based upon item polarization. Further, the splitting of factor loadings by item polarization was not due to acquiescence, suggesting that something other than acquiescence is causing the loadings to split. Further research is needed to develop models and/or methods to better assess and control for acquiescence. Although demographic groups were compared by gender and race/ethnicity to assess if different groups acquiesced differently, using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, many of the models did not converge. The findings of this study were limited by the nature of the sample size. Additional research is needed to determine if acquiescence differs by group membership.

Abstract:

This study looks at the impact that the National Certification of Educational Achievement (NCEA) has had on teacher collegiality in New Zealand. It is an exploratory study using an in case and cross case method, located in four secondary schools with a range of demographics. I was interested in gathering the information from teachers in three key roles: Assistant teacher, Head of Department and Principal's Nominee, finding out what their views were on the change that the NCEA has bought to their professional lives and the impact made on their collegiality. The literature reviewed shows there is an international appreciation of the value of collegiality in schools but there is a fragile nature of collegiality that challenges its strength. The complexity of school culture and the symbiotic relationship between it and collegiality contributes to challenge of the management and development in secondary schools. The findings showed the teachers in this study considered there to have been a deepening in collegiality as a result of increased sharing of material, professional communication through moderation and professional development, and a heightened respect for professional practice and understanding of personalities. There are threats from reduced socialisation, workload, loss of autonomy and the fragility of collegiality. These elements have created a shift in school culture. How teacher collegiality can best be supported using this assessment policy has been explored with features involving school organisation and increasing deep collegial activities such as collegial observation, marking, moderating and review being identified as beneficial.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this simulation study was to evaluate the relative performance of five missing data treatments (MDTs) for handling missing data in complex sample surveys. The five missing data methods included in this study were listwise deletion (LW), single hot-deck imputation (HS), single regression imputation (RS), hot-deck-based multiple imputation (HM), and regression-based multiple imputation (RM). These MDTs were assessed in the context of regression weight estimates in multiple regression analysis in complex sample data with two data levels. In this study, the multiple regression equation had six regressors without missing data and two regressors with missing data. The four performance measures used in this study were statistical bias, RMSE, CI width, and coverage probability (i.e., 95%) of the confidence interval. The five MDTs were evaluated separately for three types of missingness: MCAR, MAR, and MNAR. For each type of missingness, the studied MDTs were evaluated at four levels of missingness (10%, 30%, 50%, and 70%) along with complete sample conditions as a reference point for interpretation of results. In addition, ICC levels (.0, .25, .50) and high and low density population were also manipulated as studied factors. The study’s findings revealed that the performance of each individual MDT varied across missing data types, but their relative performance was quite similar for all missing data types except for LW’s performance in MNAR. RS produced the most inaccurate estimates considering bias, RMSE, and coverage of confidence interval; RM and HM were the second poorest performers. LW as well as HS procedure outperformed the rest on the measures of accuracy and precision in MCAR; however LW’s measures of precision decreased in MAR and MNAR, and LW’s CI width was the widest in MNAR data. In addition, in all three missing data types, those poor performers were less accurate and less precise on variables with missing data than they were on variables without missing data; and the degree of accuracy and precision of these poor performers depended mostly on the level of data ICC. The proportion of missing data only noticeably affected the performance of HM such that in higher missing data levels, HM yielded worse performance measures. Population density factor had negligible effects on most of the measures produced by all studied MDTs except for RMSE, CI width, and CI coverage produced by LW which were modestly influenced by population density.

Abstract:

Recent research indicates that the Internet (or Net) is currently being used at many post-secondary institutions in support of traditional, classroom-based instruction. From 1994 to 2002, the percentage of post-secondary classes using the Web as a research tool and E-mail as a method of communication has increased almost ten fold. An extensive literature on the evaluation of the Internet as an educational technology has developed in recent years; however, there are some gaps that need to be filled to provide a more complete understanding of the Internet and its use by post-secondary students. First, most of the studies focus primarily on student usage of the Net, and less so on the value (or the advantages and disadvantages) and the utility (or usefulness) associated with that usage. Second, many of these studies make a distinction between the research and communication functions of the Internet. While I argue that this is an appropriate distinction, many examine one function or the other only and not both simultaneously. The central research problem that this study addresses is helping to fill those two gaps in the evaluation literature by examining in detail student usage, value and utility of the Net as a research and/or communication tool for post-secondary students in support of classroom-based instruction. Drawing upon work from the fields of media studies, learning theory, and theories of communication, I establish a "Net as Tool" framework and adopt a uses and gratifications approach to examine student use of the Net. The three main inter-related concepts of usage, value and utility are used as organizing themes for the study, and I designed and developed a survey instrument to gather original quantitative data from post-secondary students in both Canada and Australia to fully examine those concepts. Two focus group sessions were designed to supplement this quantitative data with qualitative findings (and to generate more in-depth insights into student usage, value and utility of the Net as a research and/or communication tool). The results presented in this study have both theoretical and practical importance. In regards to the theoretical side, I have identified the underlying dimensions of usage, value, and utility, and highlighted what makes the Net valuable and useful as a research and/or communication tool. Additionally, I have identified the factors which are related to usage, value, and utility, and explored the inter-related nature of those three concepts. I concluded my study with an outline of the importance of the skill of digital literacy so that students can cope effectively with the online environment. These findings are significant because they help to fill some specific gaps in the evaluation knowledge of the Net in post-secondary education. In addition, I have developed a practical strategy which suggests how the Net could be used most effectively by students as a research and/or communication tool in support of classroom based instruction. The areas addressed by the strategy include access, infrastructure, technical support, training, integration into the curriculum, and appropriate use of the tool. The overall strategy is important because it contributes to our understanding of the Net as an educational tool, and it outlines ways to address the issue of the digital divide within post-secondary education. It is hoped the strategy will be useful to training staff, post-secondary administrators, instructors, and students.

Abstract:

Trata-se de um levantamento documental e bibliográfico realizado com a finalidade de elaboração de um quadro descritivo das atividades realizadas no Centro Regional de Pesquisas Educacionais de São Paulo (CRPE/SP), durante os anos de 1956 a 1961, período em que Fernando de Azevedo foi seu Diretor Geral. Através do levantamento das pesquisas, cursos e demais atividades desenvolvidas pelo CRPE/SP no período correspondente à sua instalação e primeiros anos de funcionamento, destaca-se a importância de Anísio Teixeira na criação desta instituição que tinha como objetivo central a reconstrução educacional brasileira através da utilização dos conhecimentos provenientes das ciências sociais. No entender de Anísio Teixeira e do grupo de intelectuais que se reuniu em função das atividades que se desenvolveram no Centro ? Fernando de Azevedo, Florestan Fernandes, Dante Moreira Leite, entre outros ? as práticas educacionais alcançariam condições científicas na medida em que se utilizassem do instrumental teórico e metodológico próprio das ciências sociais para a investigação e reflexão a respeito de seus problemas. O trabalho de descrição das atividades desenvolvidas no Centro permitiu a seleção de quatro temas que se mostraram recorrentes nos trabalhos produzidos pelos intelectuais vinculados à essa instituição. São eles: Educação e Ciências Sociais; Desenvolvimento Sócio-Econômico, Mudança Cultural e Educação; Pesquisa Cientifica e Planejamento Educacional; e, Tramitação da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional. Acrescenta-se ao trabalho descritivo e à apresentação dos temas mais discutidos algumas considerações a respeito do contexto ideológico da época, abordando o desenvolvimentismo do governo Juscelino Kubitschek, a ideologia do desenvolvimento do ISEB e o posicionamento do Centro em relação às discussões que aconteciam. Em decorrência disso, também são destacadas as divergências entre os intelectuais paulistas e isebianos, assim como o vínculo existente entre o Centro e a Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras da USP. Além da utilização da bibliografia existente a respeito do Centro, o levantamento documental realizou-se através da consulta ao Arquivo CRPE/SP do Centro de Memória da Educação da USP; ao Arquivo Fernando de Azevedo do Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da USP; ao Arquivo Anísio Teixeira do Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil/CPDOC da Fundação Getúlio Vargas; aos Relatórios Anuais de Atividades do Centro, pertencentes ao Arquivo Histórico do INEP; aos números da revista Pesquisa e Planejamento (boletim do CRPE/SP) e Educação e Ciências Sociais (boletim do CBPE) referentes ao período estudado; e, à série Estudos e Documentos (publicada pelo CRPE/SP). A descrição das atividades do Centro e o estudo do vínculo existente entre esta instituição e a Faculdade de Filosofia da USP possibilitou a avaliação do seu sucesso no cumprimento dos objetivos estabelecidos no início de suas atividades, assim como permitiu avaliar o seu papel no processo de formação de pesquisadores que se dedicariam ao estudos dos problemas educacionais brasileiros a partir de então.
A survey of documents and bibliography was made, for the purpose of elaborating a descriptive overview of the activities occurring in the Centro Regional de Pesquisas Educacionais de São Paulo (CRPE/SP) ? Regional Center for Education Researches of São Paulo ? during the years from 1956 to 1961, the period when Fernando de Azevedo was the General Director. By a survey of the researches, courses and other activities developed by the CRPE/SP, in the period corresponding to its establishment and first years of operation, it is presented the importance of Anísio Teixeira in the creation of this institution that had as its main objective the reconstruction of Brazilian education through the use of knowledge obtained from the social sciences. The concepts of Anísio Teixeira and the group of scholars gathered for the activities taking place at the Center ? Fernando de Azevedo, Florestan Fernandes, Dante Moreira Leite, among others ? were that educational practices would reach scientific status as they used theoretical and methodological means, typical of the social sciences, to investigate and ponder about its problems. The work of description of the activities developed at the Center allowed the selection of four themes that have showed up repeatedly in the work produced by the scholars associated with the institution. They are: Education and Social Sciences; Socioeconomic Development, Cultural Changes and Education; Scientific Research and Educational Planning; and Procedural Steps of the Law of Policies and Basis of Nationwide Education (LDBEN). Added to the descriptive work and presentation of the themes under discussion, there are also considerations about the ideological context of these times, taking into account the drive for development of the Juscelino Kubitschek presidency, the ideology of development of the ISEB and the position of the Center relative to the debates then underway. As a consequence of that, the divergences between \"paulistas\" and \"ISEBian\" scholars are also presented, as well as the bonds existing between the Center and the Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras da USP. Besides using the available bibliography about the Center, the survey of documents was made by access to the Archives of the CRPE/SP in the Centro de Memória da Educação (Center for the Preservation of the Memories of Education) of USP; the Fernando Azevedo Archives in the Institute Brazilian Studies of USP; the Anísio Teixeira Archives of the Center for Research and Documentation of the Recent History of Brazil (CPDOC) of the Getulio Vargas Foundation; the Annual Reports on the Activities of the Center, in the Historic Files of INEP; to issues of the Pesquisa e Planejamento (Research & Planning) magazine (bulletin of the 10 CRPE/SP) and the Educação e Ciências Sociais (Education & Social Sciences) magazine (bulletin of the CBPE) published in the period being studied; and the Estudos e Documentos (Studies & Documents) series (published by the CRPE/SP). The description of the activities of the Center and the study of the bond present between the institution and the Faculdade de Filosofia da USP enabled us to evaluate its success in the achievement of the objectives set at the beginning of its activities, and also allowed an assessment of its role in the process of formation of researchers who dedicated themselves to the study of Brazilian educational problems from that time onwards.

Abstract:

Currently a lack of guidelines for Criterion B of the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000) hampers diagnosis of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The Performance of Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire (PADL-Q; Dewey, Larkin & Summers, 2004) is a new parent-reported instrument developed to quantify the level of interference in activities of daily living (ADL) experienced by children with DCD and was tested for its efficacy in addressing Criterion B. Thirty-two children aged between 5 and 10 years comprising two matched groups, 16 with DCD (8 boys and 8 girls) and 16 without DCD (8 boys and 8 girls) participated in the study. The aim of the research was to investigate the ability of the PADL-Q to identify differences between children with and without DCD. A further 5 children, in the same age range, who did not have DCD added data that was used to ascertain relationships between the constituent assessments. All children were tested using the MAND (McCarron, 1982) whilst their parents completed the PADL-Q. A set of Tests of Activities of Daily Living (TADL) tasks were devised for the children to perform that further validated parents ratings of children?s ADL performance. A Group x Gender MANCOVA, controlled for age, of the PADL-Q total scores demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the children with and without DCD (F(3,25) = 9.44, p < .001; Wilks' lambda = 0.47). Follow-up univariate tests showed a Group x Gender interaction and simple main effects of this interaction indicated that the PADL-Q did not discriminate between the DCD and non-DCD boys. The ability of the PADL-Q to identify DCD was explored in the concurrent validity against the MAND when using a diagnostic cut-off point. The PADL-Q demonstrated 100% specificity and positive predictive values but only 19% sensitivity and 62% negative predictive values. There was a moderately strong relationship (r = .71), between the PADL-Q total score, considered a measure of Criterion B, and the MAND, a measure of Criterion A (DSMIV- TR, 2000). A two factor (Group x Gender) ANCOVA, controlled for age, of the TADL items revealed a statistically significant effect for DCD only (F(1,19) = 34.65, p < .001). There was a moderate correlation (r = -.64) between the PADL-Q total score and the TADL tasks, indicating that parent-reports are supported by their child?s performance. The PADL-Q appears to have potential as part of the DCD diagnostic process; however, further refinement on a larger sample is necessary before it can be used as an easily-administered guide to ADL performance levels in children.
