O trabalho apresenta resultados da pesquisa de mestrado, na qual investigou-se a respeito das contribuições do fazer teatral (educação não escolar) à socialização, independência e autonomia de jovens entre 17 e 29 anos, em um curso de teatro oferecido por organização não governamental inserida em espacialidade urbana da região do nordeste do estado de São Paulo. No estudo, de natureza qualitativa, predominaram a observação livre e a realização de entrevistas de tipo compreensiva. Aportes teóricos das áreas das Ciências Sociais, das Artes/Teatro e da Educação orientaram todas as fases da pesquisa, em especial a compreensão das experiências individuais, sociais e culturais dos jovens. Os resultados apontam que o engajamento dos jovens diversifica e adensa seus processos socializadores e permite-lhes construir uma visão de mundo e tecer um mundo diverso de seus familiares, grupos religiosos, escolares, entre outros, constituindo-se em uma prática educativa que vai além da transmissão de técnicas, saberes e conhecimentos próprios da linguagem teatral. / This paper presents results of research that focuses on the contributions of the theatrical creative process to the socialization, individualization and autonomy of young people in educational spaces outside of formal schooling. The study focuses on young people, aged between 17 and 29, who attend introductory theater classes in a non-governamental organization located at a urban spaciality in the northeastern region of the State of São Paulo. The study is based on qualitative data grounded on contributions from the areas of Social Sciences, Theater and Education. In field works were adopted methodological procedures as direct observation, the recording in a field diary, and the realization of \"reflective interview.\" The results suggest that experience increases the diversification of socialization processes, autonomy and individuation of the young people and shows to be an educational practice that goes beyond the transmission techniques, own knowledge of theatrical language.

The purpose of this quantitative nonexperimental study was to indicate a better understanding of factors that motivate faculty at a 4-year public institution of higher education to pursue external funding. The study is focused on examining the relationship between characteristics of individual faculty members, productivity related to external funding, and faculty perception of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors related to pursuing external funding. External funding is a major source of support for research at institutions of higher education. For universities to increase external funding for research along with increasing research productivity, it is essential that university faculty members are motivated to engage in research and seeking funding to support it (Chval & Nossaman, 2014). In order to provide adequate support universities need a clearer understanding of factors that may contribute to faculty’s motivation to pursue external funding. This study was conducted at a 4-year public university in the Southeastern region of the United States. One hundred sixty-seven full-time tenure-track and tenured faculty participated in the study using the web-based anonymous Motivating Factors to Pursuing External Funding Faculty Survey developed by the researcher. The quantitative data were analyzed using a series of single sample t-test, independent t-test, and chi-squared test. This study revealed that the gender and tenure status of full-time tenure-track and tenured faculty at the participating institution does not significantly affect their productivity as it relates to grant submissions or awards. The findings also indicated that the full-time tenure-track and tenured faculty perceive autonomy and self-actualization as significant intrinsic positive motivators and financial rewards as a significant extrinsic positive motivator to pursuing external funding. Additionally, the study found that the full-time tenure-track and tenured faculty did not perceive institutional support services as an extrinsic motivator to pursuing external funding.

What are the top journals in the field of mathematics education? This presentation will examine how quality of academic journals can be assessed and how to determine what journal metrics, if any, are of concern to scholars in the field.

Excerpt: In this study, we triangulate the rankings in Table 1 with other measures of journal quality offered through database algorithms.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is an institution with 2 residential campuses: 1 in Daytona Beach, Florida and one in Prescott, Arizona. ERAU also has a Worldwide presence through 125 campuses located on military bases and within the private business sector. The ERAU Worldwide Campus doesn’t stop with physical locations, however. It encompasses an online campus with virtual learning opportunities. The degrees offered through all of our campuses range from certificate programs through doctoral studies. The Scholarly Communication Team is located on the Daytona Beach campus. One of our challenges is to bring the intellectual output of all of our talented faculty from around the world into the ERAU institutional repository, called Scholarly Commons. In order to do this, we need an outreach plan which will capture the attention of our faculty members on our distance learning campuses and explain the benefits of participating in Scholarly Commons. To this end, we’ve begun to promote Scholarly Commons using a multi-format outreach strategy. We seek partners from within the distance learning faculty communities to help us show why faculty should participate in Scholarly Commons. This presentation will describe the processes we have tried and others we will be putting into place to educate our faculty on how they can use Scholarly Commons to organize and pursue research, tenure, and promotional activities.

Institutional Repository services require continuous, multi-channel promotion and support to attract and retain conferences, journals, and other campus collections. However, given the relative complexity of the services offered, balancing promotional messaging with a clear representation of repository offerings, policies, and procedures can be a challenge. Providing a flexible but robust marketing and support framework is especially important for institutions that rely on non-repository public services personnel to provide front-line promotion of repository services to faculty and administrators. During this session, we will look at Georgia Southern University's recently-developed Institutional Repository Services LibGuide as a model for providing such a framework (http://georgiasouthern.libguides.com/irservices/overview). This portal simultaneously provides 1) a front-line promotional tool, 2) a client-management tool for setup and support consultations, and 3) a storehouse for repository-related documents, forms, MOUs, and licenses. This portal further integrates with the library's other scholarly communications-related guides, providing seamless representation of these services to patrons. Participants will use this guide as a jumping-off point to discuss strategies and best practices for mediating institutional repository services, and for integrating repository promotion and support into libraries' broader scholarly communications initiatives.

We are what we read. People read for many different reasons and outcomes. We may read for information, affirmation, escape, or inspiration. We may read to get in a better mood. Various studies have shown that readers are more apt to be empathetic, to understand that their experience is not the only experience. Through Scholarly Personal Narrative, I trace my own evolution of reading and my curious preference for Young Adult (YA) literature. Contemporary YA literature offers a unique combination of viewpoint, emotion, and transportation which allows for a deeper understanding of diverse backgrounds, and I explore whether a program of purposeful choices can influence perspective.
