The Utility of Immediate and Delayed Feedback within the Math to Mastery Intervention Package in a School Setting

Miller, Marylyn Woods 13 December 2014 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to use a single subject research design to examine the effects of immediate feedback and delayed feedback within the Math to Mastery Intervention Package. The participants were 6 elementary school students who were performing approximately 1 year below grade level in math. A combined simple phase change design was used for the study. 3 of the students experienced the design in the A/B/A/C order, while the other 3 students experienced the design in a reversed order for B and C. During this study, ‘A’ represented the baseline phase and the return to baseline phase, ‘B’ represented the immediate feedback intervention phase, and ‘C’ represented the delayed feedback intervention phase. Each feedback phase was implemented separately for up to 4 weeks for each student. The final phase of intervention for each student included use of the most effective intervention condition after the student was exposed to both intervention feedback conditions. 2 weeks after the best intervention, follow-ups were conducted to determine if the students were able to maintain the skills that they were taught during the intervention. Results revealed that both intervention conditions were successful for addressing deficits in math academic performance. Improvement was seen for all 6 students with increases in digits correct per minute on single skill math worksheets, single skill math progress worksheets, and multiple skill math progress worksheets. Implications for school leadership within school settings are provided.

Sport and social structures : building community on campuses

Warner, Stacy Marie 05 October 2010 (has links)
Student affairs personnel are often charged with the task of creating a strong sense of community (SOC) on university campuses. Sport is among one of the many extracurricular activities that historically has been used to meet this need for community among students. Yet, how and when a sense of community is created within a sport context has not been appropriately addressed in literature. Utilizing a symbolic interactionalist theoretical framework, this study employed a grounded theory approach and uncovered the necessary factors for creating a sense of community within two intercollegiate sport settings. First, 21 former university sport club participants were interviewed regarding their experiences. The results revealed that Common Interest, Leadership Opportunities, Amateurism/ Voluntary Activity, and Competition were the most critical components to creating a sense of community. These results along with the results of Warner and Dixon’s (in review; see Appendix F) sense of community study among varsity athletes, which concluded that Administrative Consideration, Leadership Opportunities, Equity in Administrative Decisions, Competition, and Social Spaces were the key factors to foster a sense of community, were then used to guide focus groups. Eight focus groups consisting of 39 current varsity and sport club athletes were then conducted to further examine and explain the differences and similarities that emerged between the two sense of community in sport models. The results propose a broad based sense of community within sport theory that considers the contextual contingencies surrounding an athlete-driven versus a professionally-administered sport model. The results contribute to community building and sport management theory, and provide practical solutions for enhancing the intercollegiate sport experience. The implications and philosophical differences between an athlete-directed sport experiences versus a more formalized and structured sport model are also discussed. / text

A produção do programa de pós-graduação em educação da UNESP/Marilia na área de administração da educação (1991-2000)

Beraldi, Maria José. January 2003 (has links)
Orientador: Lourdes Marcelino Machado / Banca: Paschoal Quaglio / Banca: Hugues D'Ans / Resumo: O estudo sobre o conhecimento em Administração da Educação no Brasil, nas produções do Programa de Pós-graduação da UNESP em Marília, apresenta de início, um histórico do desenvolvimento da Pós-graduação e em seguida relata como surgiu a UNESP em Marília. Descreve também as metodologias usadas pelos pesquisadores com uma pequena síntese dos conteúdos de cada dissertação e tese, dando a perceber que de um modelo administrativo centralizador e autoritário, a administração escolar tentou passar para modelos descentralizadores desejando tornar a Escola mais participativa. Neste sentido o estudo apresenta a evolução da maneira de administrar com mais liderança, maior participação da comunidade educativa. Apareceram os planejamentos nas escolas, seguindo períodos de destaques, em etapas de planos escolares, planejamento tecnicista, enfrentamento do tecnicismo, restabelecimento do planejamento e enfim o planejamento para o sucesso. Encontramos muitos temas relevantes que foram abordados em quase todas as dissertações e teses, como a autonomia, a democratização, a formação dos diretores, a liderança, a gestão participativa, a qualidade total da educação e do ensino, e por fim as políticas na mudança da Escola. Finalizando, o estudo apresenta os autores mais influentes e mais citados nos trabalhos, chegando à conclusão que no Brasil houve um grande crescimento da educação, porém no campo administrativo a alternância dos modelos autoritário-centralizador e autoritário-descentralizador impediu a criação de modelos administrativos próprios para nortear a administração escolar. O modelo que se apresenta na administração escolar é um misto de iniciativas pessoais que não passam de releituras de interpretações de teorias administrativas moldados em conceitos tayrolistas, fayolianos e mesmo fordistas, pois a administração da educação se apoiou muito na administração empresarial. / Abstract: The studies concerning the knowledge in Administration of Educatin in Brazil, by means of production of the Post-graduation Program at UNESP/Marília, primarily presents a description of the evolution of Post-graduation and in addition to thet, it reports how UNESP emerged in Marília. It also describes the methologies used by researchers with a small synthesis of the issues of each dissertation and thesis, leading to the understanding of a concentrated and authoritarian model of administration. School administration has tried to overcome decentralized model in order to turn school into more participative environments. As such, the studies show the evolution of the way of admistrating with more leadership. And better participation of the educative community. School plannings have showed up, following periods of prominences, in stages of school plans, technician plannings, facing technicism, re-estabilishing the planning and thus planning towards success. Several important themes have been found in schools, which were presented in almost every dissertation and thesis, with autonomy, democratization, formation of directors, leadership, participative management, total quality in education and teaching methods, and finally, policies in the changes of the school. To come to an end, the studies present the most influent authors and the most quoted ones in works of such area, coming to the conclusion that, in brazil, there has been a great growth in education, however in the administrative field, the changing of authoritarian-centralized and authoritarian - decentralized methods have blocked creation of administrative models of their own to guide scholl adminstration. The model that is shown in schoool adminstration is a mixture of personal dealings that are nothing but re-readings and interpretations of aministrtive theories, framed by Tayolist...

Laying the Groundwork: The Journey of an Urban High School District Implementing a College Readiness Initiative

January 2012 (has links)
abstract: National and state education reforms are centered on developing higher academic expectations and standards to ensure students transitions into postsecondary options, college and career ready. What does this national emphasis signify for urban school districts that are educating a significant proportion of first-generation students and that struggle to produce students ready for the rigor of postsecondary education without remediation? Framed within Karl Weick's (1976) theoretical framework of loose coupling organizational theory, this qualitative study examined the implementation of the pseudonymous ABC High School District college readiness education reform initiative through the lens of district-wide system actors, which included district leadership, school-level implementers and the students as the intended beneficiaries. ABC High School District is the largest non-unified urban school district in a large metropolitan area in the Southwestern United States. I focused specifically on two implementation sites: Blue Sky and Desert Flower High Schools. The system actors expounded on their knowledge and understanding of how they perceived the implementation of the initiative, their interpretations of the district's new policy and initiative, and how this initiative guided their practices based on their respective roles. The findings included the four major themes of (a) building capacity of the actors, (b) communication, (c) policy and politics, and (d) academic rigor and high expectations. Two additional findings specific to counselors and students were also revealed. The counselor-specific experiences revealed the changes in their roles that have created confusion among school staff and their growing responsibilities that may impede the progress of the district initiative. The student-descriptions suggest their knowledge about college and career planning, challenges, and their academic preparedness to successfully transition to a postsecondary institution. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D.

Investigating and Implementing a DNS Administration System

Brännström, Anders, Nilsson, Rickard January 2007 (has links)
NinetechGruppen AB is an IT service providing company with about 30 employees, primarily based in Karlstad, Sweden. The company began to have problems with their DNS administration because the number of administrated domains had grown too large. A single employee was responsible for all the administration, and text editors were used for modifying the DNS configuration files directly on the name servers. This was an error prone process which also easily led to inconsistencies between the documentation and the real world. NinetechGruppen AB decided to solve the administrative problems by incorporating a DNS administration system, either by using an existing product or by developing a new sys-tem internally. This thesis describes the process of simplifying the DNS administration procedures of NinetechGruppen AB. Initially, an investigation was conducted where existing DNS administration tools were sought for, and evaluated against the requirements the company had on the new system. The system was going to have a web administration interface, which was to be developed in ASP.NET 2.0 with C# as programming language. The administration interface had to run on Windows, use SQL Server 2005 as backend database server, and base access control on Active Directory. Further, the system had to be able of integrating customer handling with the domain administration, and any changes to the system information had to follow the Informa-tion Technology Infrastructure Library change management process. The name servers were running the popular name server software BIND and ran on two different Linux distributions – Red Hat Linux 9 and SUSE Linux 10.0. The investigation concluded that no existing system satisfied the requirements; hence a new system was to be developed, streamlined for the use at NinetechGruppen AB. A requirement specification and a functional description was created and used as the basis for the development. The finalized system satisfies all necessary requirements to some extent, and most of them are fully satisfied.

Approche écologique dans la conception d’outils cognitifs dans le domaine administratif : application à l’artisanat du bâtiment / Designing cognitive tools with ecological approach in administrative area for craftsmen.

Liron, Romain 04 March 2016 (has links)
Ce travail adopte le cadre de l’ingénierie cognitive en vue de la conception et de l’évaluation d’outils cognitifs dans le domaine de l’administration d’entreprises artisanales. Ce cadre relève d’une approche dite écologique des systèmes de travail. L’objectif général de ce travail est double. D’une part, il s’agit de montrer la pertinence de cette approche écologique eu égard au domaine étudié et d’autre part, de proposer une interface utilisateur pour un système d’aide à la gestion administrative sur support numérique mobile. Plus précisément, nous proposons une modélisation du domaine de travail en considérant certaines de ses caractéristiques les plus complexes à modéliser : la récursivité et la dimension éthique. Ensuite, nous testons une méthode récente pour valider et vérifier cette modélisation (Task Machine Turing Analysis, TMTA). Nous proposons également une nouvelle méthode de validation et vérification d’un domaine de travail, dite méthode des « points de vue ». À partir d’un modèle du domaine de travail de la gestion administrative dans les entreprises artisanales, nous expérimentons plusieurs maquettes d’interfaces pour un système d’aide. Cette expérimentation nous permet de mesurer le degré d’application des principes dirigeant la conception d’interface écologique. Enfin, nous proposons et testons une maquette finale de systèmes à destination des artisans. / This work adopts the cognitive engineering framework for the design and evaluation of cognitive tools interfaces in the administrative handicraft field. This framework relies on an ecological approach of work systems. The objectives of this work were twofold. First, it consisted in showing the heuristic value of the ecological approach. Second, we aimed at proposing a user interface for a mobile digital cognitive tool assisting administrative tasks. More precisely, we proposed to consolidate the work domain analysis framework by considering some of the more complex characteristics to model, that is to say recursion and the ethical dimension. Afterwards, we tested a recent method named “Turing Machine Task Analysis” to validate and verify the work domain model. We also proposed a new verification and validation method for work domain model, named “viewpoints method”. Based on a modeling of the administrative handicraft domain, we tested several user interface mockups for a cognitive tool. This experiment permitted us to measure the degree of application of the Ecological Interface Design principles. Finally, we proposed and tested a final mockup for craftsmen.
