How American is the American College Fraternity? Examining the European Legacy Within the U.S. Greek System

Bell, Andrew Thomas 08 May 2017 (has links)
In this study, a cultural dissemination model is used to identify the cultural markers a fraternalism across multiple educational environments all in an attempt to answer the question How American is the American college fraternity? Aspects of modern fraternities and sororities were broken down and their historical predecessors were identified in order to track cultural dissemination, or diffusion. Diffusion is the spread of culture traits and, as Wissler (140,146) and Bartlett (7) have demonstrated, this spread may be either conscious or unconscious (Willey & Herskovits, 1927, p. 263). Primarily systems the broad European Fraternalism, European Universities (German and English), American Universities were studied alongside the modern fraternity and sorority.

Erityisherkkä lapsi ja hänen kasvun tukeminen

Nätti, P. (Paula) 08 May 2017 (has links)
Tässä työssä tutkitaan lapsen erityisherkkyyttä. Tutkimuksemme avulla haluamme oppia ymmär-tämään lapsen herkkyyttä ja tukemaan kasvattajina herkkää lasta hänen kasvussaan ja kehityk-sessään. Erityisherkän lapsen määrittelyn näkökulmina käytämme tutkija Elaine Aronin erityisher-kän ihmisen määritelmää, jossa erityisherkän perusominaisuuksiksi katsotaan kuuluvaksi emotio-naalinen reaktiokyky, vivahteiden vaistoamien, ärsykkeiden liiallisuus sekä syvällinen käsittely. Määrittelemme herkkyyden tutkielmassamme temperamenttipiirteeksi. Teoreettiseksi viitekehyk-seksi nousee lapsuuden temperamenttiteoriat, joiden kautta käsittelemme herkkyyden eri ominai-suuksia. Tutkielmassa painottuu kasvattajan rooli. Kasvattajan rooli korostuu varhaiskasvatus- ja kiintymyssuhde teorioiden käsittelyssä ja teorioiden peilaamisessa herkän lapsen tarpeisiin. Aineis-tonkeruumenetelmänä käytetään systemaattista kirjallisuuskatsausta. Herkkä lapsi on fysiologisilta ominaisuuksiltaan poikkeava verrattuna ei-herkkiin. Erityisherkkä lapsi on empaattinen ja voimakkaasti tunteva. Hän käsittelee tietoa syvällisesti ja huomaa ympäristös-tään pieniä vivahteita. Lapsi saattaa kuormittua, jos ärsykkeitä on liikaa. Kasvattajan rooli on tärkeä herkän lapsen tukemisen ja tasapainoisen kehityksen kannalta. Päivittäiset ja konkreettiset keinot auttavat herkkää lasta olemaan ylikuormittumatta. Myös kiintymyssuhteen merkitys on tärkeä her-källe lapselle. Turvattomassa kiintymyssuhteessa erityisherkät lapset stressaantuvat helpommin, kun taas turvallinen kiintymyssuhde tukee herkän lapsen kehittymistä ja ennaltaehkäisee ongelmia tulevaisuudessa.

Developmental Math Education: The Bermuda Triangle of Student Success--Many Enter, but Few Succeed.

Sullivan, Julia Elizabeth Paxton 07 September 2016 (has links)
This study employed a quantitative design to evaluate the effectiveness of developmental math and the predictors of student success in developmental math for a period of three years. Four of the studys original eight predictors of student success were statistically significant. However, a model was created using multinomial regression. The model was created using data from the fall 2013 semester and was tested using data from the fall 2014 semester. The effectiveness of developmental math in predicting a students success in the first college-level math course was tested using a multinomial regression. Although no statistical significance was found, the study did show that students who completed developmental math prior to enrolling in a college-level math course were more likely to earn passing grades. Implications for community college policy, practice, and future research are presented.

A comparative study of the relationship between student participation in certain extracurricular activities and attendance in two Fulton County schools

Porter, Henry J. 01 December 1976 (has links)
Purpose of the Project The primary goal of this research is to look specifically at groups of students of two selected schools in the school system of Fulton County to determine if the attendance of students who participated in certain extracurricular activities was significantly better than those students who did not participate. Method of Research From each grade level, eighth through the twelfth, twenty students were randomly selected from the groups of students who participated in certain extracurricular activities and twenty students were selected from the group of students who did not participate. The method of research was to compare the mean difference between the number of days absent for the participating group and the number of days absent for the non-participating group. An analysis of variance was used to test the significance of these differences. Findings Some basic findings coming out of this study are as follows: For each grade level, the percentage of days absent for the non-participating group is higher than for the participating group. The largest difference between the percentage of days absent for the two groups is found to be on the eighth and ninth grade levels. There is a significant difference between the mean number of days absent for the participating group and the mean number of days absent for the non-participating group. There is no significant difference between the mean days absent when the grades are compared with each other, nor is there a significant difference between the mean days absent in the interaction between grade and participation. Good school attendance on the part of the participating students in this study is a requirement common to the three activities used. Implications of the Project Students who participate in certain extracurricular activities generally attend school better than those who do not participate. All students should be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities which are similar to, or the same as, the ones included in this study. Efforts should be made to increase student participation in extracurricular activities on all grade levels. Special efforts should be made to include the eighth and ninth grade students. A student’s interest in participating in extracurricular activities can be utilized in helping to increase his interest in the total school’s program, including an increased interest in attending school. The effectiveness of an extracurricular activities program depends to a great extent on the leadership of those persons responsible for and in charge of the program. Certain characteristics of an effective athletics program and band program prove helpful in contributing to good attendance on the part of the participating students. A school’s athletics program should be designed so as to offer the opportunities for as many students as possible to participate. An effective student activities program should be made an important active part of the total program of the school. It should be broad enough to include, as near as possible, all students. The nature of some activities frequently excludes the participation of many students. For example, the number of participants on a school’s basketball team is usually limited to a relatively small number of students. Only those students who, in the judgment of the coach, have the necessary skills can “make” the team. The majority of the students are forced to accept the role of spectator.

Social Origin, Education, and Destination in Korea

Joo, Lan 13 September 2016 (has links)
<p> This study examined whether the variance in the labor market outcomes is due to the variance in educational outcomes or due to the variance in social origin via education in Korea among young adults. Prior to the investigation of the variance in the labor market outcomes, the study investigated the association between social origin and education.</p><p> The data was collected from the longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of 12<sup>th</sup> grade students in the spring of 2004 at general and vocational high schools and 12<sup>th</sup> grade students in the spring of 2007 at special-purposed high schools in Korea. The study samples were randomly selected based on a stratified sampling process: for general high schools, the stratification was made based on the region; for vocational high schools, the stratification was created based on school type - technical, commercial, and others; and for special-purposed high school, the stratification was created only for foreign language schools based on private and public school type. One hundred general high schools, 100 vocational high schools, and 20 special-purposed high schools were randomly selected. From the select-schools, classes were randomly selected and from each class, students were randomly selected. The total sample size was 2,000 students from general, 2,000 from vocational, and 600 from special-purposed high schools. The cohorts are annually surveyed in various areas, including their education, employment, and income. Parents of general and vocational high school students were surveyed during the first wave and parents of special-purposed high schools were surveyed during the fourth wave. Descriptive statistics, binary logistic, multinomial logistic, and multiple regression methods, were utilized to analyze the data.</p><p> Statistically significant study findings showed that the variance in the labor market outcomes is due to variance in social origin via education in Korea. It was found that education is highly associated with social origin, and private supplementary education strengthens the association between social origin and higher education advancement.</p>
