High School Students' Attitudes and Beliefs Regarding Statistics in a Service-Learning-Based Statistics CourseLeong, Jennifer 06 February 2007 (has links)
Despite agreement among researchers about the powerful influence of attitudes and beliefs on the development of students’ mathematical knowledge base (Leder, Pehkonen, & Törner, 2002), relatively little is known about these constructs in statistics education. This study investigated the relationship between mathematics-and statistics-related attitudes and beliefs of 11 high school students in an introductory statistics course designed around a 13-week long service-learning project. Service-learning is a pedagogical approach that situates academic learning in the context of community service. The study utilized qualitative, teacher-researcher (Cochran-Smith & Lytle, 1993) methodology from an interpretivist perspective. The three primary modes of data collection were journals, narratives, and an open-ended survey (Survey of Mathematical and Statistical Affect). Observations and reflections were also recorded regularly in a researcher journal. Inquiry adhered to guidelines for trustworthiness and rigor as outlined by Lincoln and Guba (1985). Item, pattern, and structural levels of analysis were employed (LeCompte and Schensul, 1999b). Investigation into attitudes and beliefs was framed in accordance with Op t’ Eynde, De Corte, and Verschaffel’s (2002) conceptualization of the mathematics-related belief system and McLeod’s (1992) framework of the affective domain in mathematics education. Results indicate that participants’ attitudes toward mathematics and statistics tended to converge while participants’ beliefs regarding mathematics and statistics tended to diverge. Participants like mathematics and statistics that involve real-life scenarios. Participants also like mathematics and statistics that do not require complex mathematical tasks. Participants’ beliefs regarding statistics were generally more positive than beliefs regarding mathematics. Participants reported greater confidence doing statistics than mathematics and contribute this confidence, in part, to service-learning. Participants also experienced a heightened sense of social awareness and social responsibility through the service-learning project. These results provide evidence that service-learning can be utilized to solidify positive attitudes and beliefs regarding statistics among high school students, in spite of potentially less positive ones toward mathematics.

Previous issue date: 2012-07-12 / A temática da Responsabilidade Social está em grande discussão na atualidade, fazendo a sociedade repensar o papel das empresas e exigindo delas mais responsabilidade e envolvimento com o seu desenvolvimento. No Brasil, a discussão de questões relativas à Responsabilidade Social ganhou espaço apenas mais recentemente, em seguida ao processo de industrialização e vinda de grandes empresas para o país. Dessa forma, vem à tona uma discussão sobre o preparo dos profissionais de Administração brasileiros para trabalhar a Responsabilidade Social nas empresas e sobre a inclusão desta temática nos cursos de graduação em Administração. O desafio dessas instituições é abordar a Responsabilidade Social e a ética dentro de seus currículos, conjugando a formação acadêmica, técnica e ética dos alunos. As metodologias de ensino tradicionais levam a um esclarecimento teórico sobre o tema, no entanto não preparam os alunos para lidar com as questões de responsabilidade social na prática. Este estudo propôs o service-learning como uma metodologia de abordagem prática para o ensino de Responsabilidade Social, permitindo a aproximação entre instituições de ensino superior e comunidades, em uma experiência de aprendizado e ganho para ambas. Foram analisados neste estudo dois casos de instituições de ensino brasileiras que desenvolvem programas junto a comunidades, com o objetivo de conhecer suas práticas e estudar as possíveis contribuições que o uso da metodologia service-learning poderia trazer ao contexto educacional brasileiro, em busca da formação de profissionais mais sensibilizados às questões sociais. / Social responsibility is under much discussion nowadays, pushing the society to rethink the role of companies and requiring them more responsibility and involvement in the development of society. In Brazil, the discussion of issues relating to CSR only recently gained ground, after the process of industrialization in the country. Then, it is only natural to discuss how well prepared the Brazilian Business Administration professionals are to be engaged in CSR and how the Brazilian universities are taking this subject into their curriculum to prepare the students. The challenge of these institutions is to include social responsibility and ethics in their curriculum in a way that combines the academic, technical and ethical education of students. The traditional teaching methods usually lead to a theoretical clarification on the subject, but they do not prepare students to deal with issues of social responsibility in everyday practice. This study proposed service-learning as a methodology for practical approach to teaching social responsibility, enabling closer ties between higher education institutions and communities, a learning experience with good results for both parts. Two cases of Brazilian educational institutions which develop programs in the local community were analyzed in this study, in order to understand their practices and evaluate the possible contributions that the use of service-learning methodology could bring to the Brazilian educational context, in search of training professionals to be more aware of social issues.

A phenomenological reflection on integrated learning at a Christian university for community transformation in the Democratic Republic of the CongoBunduki Kwany Honore 02 1900 (has links)
This study investigated integrated learning at a Christian university, the Christian Bilingual University of the Congo (UCBC) with the view to improving higher education practice in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) which is tasked with addressing social problems. Higher education in the DRC is shaped by its colonial legacy and a teacher-centred approach focused on theory, typical of a banking-type learning and a lack of integration. These factors stifle critical thinking and initiative in students and prevent them from developing into service-oriented agents for change in their communities. The advent of Christian universities has heralded a quest for holistic training to foster character and produce civic-minded and service-oriented citizens. A qualitative study using a phenomenology as methodology investigated the lived experiences in integrated learning and service in the community of twelve purposefully selected UCBC alumni. Data was obtained through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Findings indicated that integrated learning is holistic education which engages mind, heart, soul and body; it combines practice and theory in training and prepares students to contribute to national welfare. It occurs in a multiple component and dimensional context and is characterized by learner-centeredness, active learning and constant interaction among the school community members. It is focused on the building of the inner person of the learner. Further, participants understood transformation as part of personal development, a lifelong process that moves a person to act differently in community after his personal assumptions have been deeply revised through his encounter with integrated learning. Its impact is character development as foundation for bold action in the community, the rediscovery of one’s identity, the development of servant leadership, team work and social networking and dependence on God. Findings revealed that transformed learners initiated a change of mentality and experienced culture conversion in their communities through confronting problems and modelling servanthood. It also established the enactment of integrated learning as a contributor to personal and community transformation as a result of students’ ‘echoed words’ and actions as learning-teachers. Based on the findings recommendations were made for the strengthening of integrated learning in Christian universities. / Educational Foundations / D. Ed. (Philosophy of Education)

A constituição do sujeito na formação científica do profissional fisioterapeutaGrandi, Suzete 09 April 2010 (has links)
Os processos de formação científica do profissional Fisioterapeuta envolvem além do conhecimento científico, compreendido nos currículos, práticas profissionais que, juntamente com as configurações dos serviços, marcam a constituição de sujeitos. Neste sentido, os modos de ser dos futuros profissionais são influenciados pela organização curricular do seu curso de formação, neste caso, da Fisioterapia. Pelo fato do trabalho em saúde se aproximar de questões que envolvem a existência humana, objetiva-se com este estudo mostrar as condições e as possibilidades de determinação, bem como as implicações entre a constituição do sujeito e a formação profissional nas dimensões científica e não científica do profissional Fisioterapeuta. Coerente com este objetivo, a constituição do sujeito define o âmbito do problema de pesquisa a ser examinado, nas áreas da educação e da saúde. Este estudo tem como apoio teórico o pensamento de Michel Foucault, especialmente as obras A História da Sexualidade e A Hermenêutica do Sujeito, sendo complementado por contribuições de especialistas na área da saúde, entre os quais, Sílvio Paulo Botomé e Rubens Rebelatto. O método empregado consistiu em levantar, identificar e analisar algumas determinações na formação do sujeito que dependem do tipo de formação científica. Para isto o trabalho teve como referência a experiência do ensino do Curso de Fisioterapia da Universidade de Caxias do Sul e da Clínica de Fisioterapia desta mesma universidade, sendo ainda complementado por entrevistas com alunos, professores e profissionais da área. A dissertação compreende, além da introdução e conclusão, três capítulos, sendo o primeiro intitulado A Constituição do Sujeito e a formação profissional, o segundo, A Constituição do sujeito na formação científica profissional em Fisioterapia e o terceiro, A Constituição do Sujeito na integração ensino-serviço aprendizado. A relevância desta dissertação reside na sua contribuição para avaliar e qualificar os serviços, bem como os cursos de graduação, neste caso de Fisioterapia, mas também para e os demais cursos da área da saúde, tanto da Universidade de Caxias do Sul, quanto de outras instituições. Igualmente deduz-se destes estudos a relevância social presente nas atividades dos profissionais da área da saúde. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-02T17:19:27Z

Linguistische Analyse der Zeitperspektivierungen von Menschen mit kognitiven EinschränkungenLangholz, Sophie 04 August 2020 (has links)
Die Arbeit untersucht im Kontext historischer Vermittlung wie Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen die sprachliche Repräsentation der Zeitperspektive vornehmen. Um die Heterogenität der Adressat:innengruppen mit in die Untersuchung und Fragestellung einzubeziehen und ihr gerecht zu werden, beschäftigt sich eine zweite Fragestellung damit, ob sich die sprachliche Repräsentation der Zeitperspektive in Abhängigkeit des Grades der Behinderung (GdB) und der Behinderungsursache unterscheidet. Die Behinderungsursache wird dabei nicht detailliert betrachtet, sondern grob in pränatal, perinatal und postnatal differenziert. Dafür wurden drei Probanden ausgewählt, deren Behinderungsgründe jeweils eine der drei Kategorien abdecken.
Mit der Analyse hinsichtlich der sprachlichen Repräsentation der Zeitperspektive sollen erste Aussagen über das Zeitverständnis der Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen getroffen werden. Daraus abgeleitet soll eine Empfehlung für den Umgang mit zeitlichen Angaben in Texten in einfacher Sprache ausgesprochen werden.
Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden zur theoretischen Grundlegung des Projektes an der Albrechtsburg einige Begrifflichkeiten geklärt. So wird es in diesem Abschnitt jeweils ein Kapitel zum Projekt Verso, eines zum Service Learning und der partizipativen Forschung sowie eines zum Pilotprojekt an der Albrechtsburg geben.
Der zweite Abschnitt umfasst die theoretischen Grundlegungen, die speziell für die thematische Erarbeitung benötigt werden. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die verschiedenen Perspektiven auf Zeit. Der Zeitbegriff, der keiner einheitlichen und allgemeingültigen Definition unterliegt, wird in diesem Teil näher betrachtet. Da sprachliche Konzeptualisierungen und Kategorisierungen auf den Thesen und Modellen der kognitiven Grammatik beruhen, wird diese in einem kurzen Einblick vorgestellt. Daran anknüpfend wird der Zeitbegriff als eine Metapher der Bewegung im Raum unter Bezugnahme auf Lakoff und Johnson näher beleuchtet. Im Zentrum steht nebst Betrachtung der allgemeinen Deixisproblematik auch die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Origo–Modell. An dieses Kapitel schließen sich ein weiteres zur allgemeinwissen-schaftlichen Betrachtung der Zeit sowie eines zu den Grundlagen der barrierefreien Kommunikation und des Behinderungsbegriffs an. Die barrierefreie Kommunikation bildet den Rahmen der hier vorliegenden Arbeit, da sie die Regeln und Konzepte stellt, an denen sich orientiert werden soll. Diese Regeln sollen mit Hilfe dieser Arbeit noch weiter präzisiert werden sollen.
Im dritten Abschnitt der Arbeit, dem praxisbezogenen Teil, werden zunächst die drei Probanden genauer vorgestellt. Anschließend wird Bezug auf den Datenerhebungs-prozess und auf die Transkriptionen nach GAT2 genommen. Der analytische Teil dieses Abschnittes erfolgt nach dem Origo-Modell Bühlers. Das nachfolgende Kapitel zeigt eine Aufstellung und Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse. In einem abschließenden Fazit wird eine Empfehlung für die Verwendung von Zeitangaben in Texten in einfacher Sprache gegeben.:Inhalt

MEASURING AUTHENTIC LEARNING WITHIN PURDUE UNIVERSITY’S EPICS PROGRAMGraham Pierce Lyon (16666329) 27 July 2023 (has links)
<p>In this dissertation, I investigate the authentic learning experiences of students participating in the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program at Purdue University within the framework of authentic education. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study assesses the performance of new and returning students across five key outcomes that measure authentic learning during a single semester. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant main effects for time of assessment and type of student on performance, with an overall improvement in all outcomes observed from mid-term to final evaluations and returning students typically outperforming new students. Interaction effects between time and type were also examined, revealing subtle yet complex dynamics in students’ learning trajectories. The findings hold implications for enhancing authentic learning, especially in engineering design contexts, and offer insights to guide future implementation of and improvements to authentic education initiatives, particularly the EPICS program. Despite certain limitations, the research opens avenues for future investigations into diverse aspects of authentic education in STEM and beyond. </p>

FOOD LANDSCAPES: A CASE STUDY OF A COOKING AND ART- FOCUSED PROGRAM FOR TEENS LIVING IN A FOOD DESERTNorris, Jessica R 01 January 2014 (has links)
This study constructs themes and propositions about the experiences of youth participants in the fall 2013 Food Landscapes program at the Neighborhood Resource Center in Richmond, Virginia. During the program, youth participated in cooking-based volunteerism with adults with disabilities and created short videos about their experiences. In this study, I analyzed pre- and post-program participant interviews, twice-weekly program observations, and facilitator reflections to understand how Food Landscapes affected youths’ conception of community engagement and communication strategies. This case study offers insight into how youth experience after-school programming of this design. Based on my findings, youth develop and rely upon a sense of togetherness in out-of-school programs. Togetherness as a bridge to commitment strengthens participation. Individually, youth need to form personal connections to and/or empathy with the content areas of the program in order to derive meaning, critically reflect, and problem solve. Furthermore, the youth articulated their perceptions of the community and the program by developing, organizing, and voicing their ideas of cooking/food, volunteering, and art making. By sharing research about the experiences of youth in after-school programming, organizations and educators can better construct, facilitate, and sustain youth participation and engagement.
