Talking with Our Fingertips: An Analysis for Habits of Mind in Blogs about Young Adult Books

January 2011 (has links)
abstract: The pace of technological development and the integral role technologies play in the lives of today's youth continue to transform perceptions and definitions of literacy. Just as the growth in completely online texts and the use of audio books and e-readers expands the definition of reading, digital platforms like blogs expand the notion of literary response and analysis. Responding to the complexities of literacy, this study examines the ways in which the literacy practice of blogging about young adult literature might elicit the active, intellectual orientation, or habits of mind, often sought in adolescent literacy development. Employing Gardner's Five Minds theory as an analysis tool and what Erickson calls "key linkages" as a framework, blog transcripts were read and coded. Those coded literacy acts were then linked to reveal any evidence of the creating, respectful, ethical, disciplined, and synthesizing habits of mind. From these overlays, empirical data tables emerged, accompanied by integrated case study narratives. Empirical data illustrate the aspects of the cases, and exposition provides a feature analysis of the habits of mind observed during blogging as a form of literary response to young adult literature. Results of this study suggest that bloggers writing about young adult books in a weblog environment reveal 1) some proficiency at synthesizing material, 2) a tendency to evaluate, 3) only moderate demonstration of the disciplined and respectful/ethical habits, 4) minimal evidence of the creating mind, and 5) moderate proficiency in basic transactional writing. Aligning with previous research, Talking with Our Fingertips illuminates possibilities for adopting pedagogical principles that provide student agency and potentially increase motivation and productivity. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Curriculum and Instruction 2011

Vocational Rehabilitation: Predicting Employment Outcomes for Young Adults with Disabilities

Poppen, Marcus 14 January 2015 (has links)
Working within the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS) theoretical framework, the purpose of this study was to explore the effects of individual characteristics, in-school experiences, post-school experiences, and contextual factors on Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) closure status among 4,443 young adults with disabilities who had received and completed services from Oregon VR between 2003 and 2013. This study analyzed extant data from the Oregon Rehabilitation Case Automation System (ORCA), an integrated case management database that collects and tracks demographic characteristics, service records and employment data on each individual who receives services from VR. Four logistic regression models were developed using Hosmer, Lemeshow, and Studivant's model building approach to test the effects of individual characteristics, in-school experiences, post-school experiences, and contextual factors on VR closure status. Seven risk factors were identified that decrease the probability of young adults with disabilities achieving a positive VR closure status: (1) being female; (2) having a primary disability of mental illness; (3) having a primary disability of traumatic brain injury; (4) having an interpersonal impediment to employment; (5) receiving Supplemental Security Income at application; (6) closing VR services during federal fiscal year (FFY) 2008; and (7) closing VR services during FFY 2009. Five protective factors were identified that increase the probability of young adults with disabilities achieving a positive VR closure status: (1) participation in the Oregon Youth Transition Program; (2) earning at least a high school completion certificate by closure; (3) receiving a higher number of VR services; (4) closing VR services on or below the median number of days to closure; and (5) closing VR services during FFY 2004. These findings support the hypothesis that individual characteristics, in-school experiences, post-school experiences, and contextual factors are predictors of positive VR closure status among young adults with disabilities. Further, these results provide evidence that transition services and supports provided to young adults with disabilities receiving services from VR can help them to achieve positive VR closure status.

Going Feral: The Utopian Horror of Human-Animal Hybrids

Maggiulli, Katrina 27 October 2016 (has links)
According to the material feminist corpus, namely Stacy Alaimo’s concept of trans-corporeality, material flows and interconnectivity between humans and their environment insists that the human body has never been atomistic, but rather a porous figure that continually interacts/intra-acts with its environment. The recent biotechnological boom allowing for the production of human-animal hybrids (chimeras) provides the kind of visualization of these interconnectivities that can help instigate a reconception of the human—as not human at all, but rather posthuman. This study looks at the presence of these human-animal hybrids in popular art media, specifically: the horror film, Splice (Dir. Natali 2009); the YA novel, Inhuman (Falls 2013); and the comic, Sweet Tooth (Lemire 2009-2013). This thesis argues that the human-animal hybrid figure exhibits utopian horror, or the use of horror to produce new, better, ways of conceptualizing human-animal relationships, ones that acknowledge our already posthuman plurality of self.
