Who's in STEM? An Exploration of Race,Ethnicity, and Citizenship Reporting in a Federal Education Dataset     

W. Carson Byrd  Sandra L. Dika  Letticia T. Ramlal 《Equity & Excellence in Education》2013,46(4):484-501

As the United States becomes more racially and ethnically diverse and draws more students from across the globe, more representative data are needed to understand at-risk and underrepresented populations in higher education, particularly in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The authors argue that the current reporting standards for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) result in the misrepresentation of racial and ethnic populations in STEM by forcing non-U.S. students into a “master status” category regardless of their racial or ethnic group membership. This study uses data from IPEDS and the American Community Survey to estimate the possible misrepresentation of reported bachelor degree completions by racial and ethnic group and citizenship status in the biological and biomedical sciences and engineering. We found that nearly all of the racial and ethnic groups in IPEDS may be significantly misreported because of the reporting standards for U.S. citizenship. With these findings, various implications are discussed, including higher education decision-making policies; interpretation of academic and social experiences of diverse peoples (race, ethnicity, and nationality); and creation of effective structures for academic success, particularly for students of color, regardless of citizenship.  相似文献   

Economic aspects of citizenship education: an investigation of students' understanding     

Peter Davies  Helen Howie  Jean Mangan  Shqiponja Telhaj 《Curriculum Journal》2013,24(2):201-223

In 2002 education for citizenship will become a statutory requirement in English secondary schools for the first time. Broad guidelines which have been issued to schools include some elements of economic understanding, although this aspect of citizenship has attracted little attention in public debate. Moreover, relatively little is known about students' current thinking on these aspects of citizenship. Our article addresses this gap in current knowledge through reporting results from a large-scale (over 1000 responses) survey of 15- and 17-year-old students. A draft survey was trialled in May 2000 and revised in the light of students' responses and discussion at a research seminar in July 2000. The questionnaire focuses on students' understanding of, and attitude towards, aspects of taxation, government spending, employment and inflation. These results may usefully inform planning for programmes of citizenship education and they can also provide a point of reference for subsequent evaluation of those programmes.  相似文献   

Comprehensive School-Based Physical Activity Promotion: A Review     

Heather Erwin  Aaron Beighle  Russell L. Carson  Darla M. Castelli 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2013,65(4):412-428

Physical activity (PA) participation levels among youth remain well below national recommendations. Thus, a variety of strategies to promote youth PA have been advocated, including multifaceted, school-based approaches. One identified as having great potential is a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP). The goal of a CSPAP is to develop a school culture conducive to promoting lifelong PA across five integral components, each serving as a plausible point of intervention: (a) physical education, (b) PA during school, (c) PA before and after school, (d) staff involvement, and (e) family/community involvement. The purpose of this article is to provide an up-to-date review on all CSPAP components, propose the potential of such comprehensive interventions in increasing youth PA levels, and provide future directions for CSPAP research.  相似文献

The Deutscher Forschungsrat (GermanResearch Council) attempted to anchor scienceadvising and science policy in West Germanyafter the Second World War. Promoted by acircle of élite scientists, the councilaimed to establish institutions and mechanismscomparable to those in Great Britain, theUnited States, and other scientific powers.After a two-and-a-half year existence, iteventually failed. The reasons for its failure,some local, some global, display thedifficulties facing research policy in theearly years of the Federal Republic.  相似文献   

Counseling and Family Therapy in India: Evolving Professions in a Rapidly Developing Nation     

David K. Carson  Sachin Jain  Sylvia Ramirez 《International journal for the advancement of counseling》2009,31(1):45-56

Outpatient counseling is a relatively new concept and form of clinical practice in India. This article provides an overview of the need for and current status of counseling and family therapy in India. Examples of training programs are presented, and future prospects for the counseling and family therapy professions are highlighted. The authors discuss therapeutic issues that clinicians may need to consider when working with Indian clients, as well as some of the potential barriers to counseling individuals, couples, and families in or from the Indian subcontinent. The future of these professions looks bright and parallels India’s rapid development as a nation.  相似文献

Neglect contributing to tertiary hospitalization in childhood asthma   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Gary H. Boxer M.D.  Jody Carson R.N.  M.S.W.  Bruce D. Miller M.D.   《Child abuse & neglect》1988,12(4)

Clinical experience demonstrates that many chronically ill children have an unstable course of illness ending in tertiary care, not because of extraordinary disease, but because they come from dysfunctional and neglectful households. Families frequently cannot or will not adapt to the demands of their chronically ill child. This study substantiates the extent to which neglect and family dysfunction have contributed to the need for hospitalization of asthmatic children at National Jewish. Neglect accelerates the cycle of morbidity and stress associated with illness. Using a measure of global functioning, we demonstrate a psychologic morbidity associated with medical neglect. We discuss children at imminent risk in their home environment and the process of seeking alternative placements. We acknowledge gaps in delivery of health care to this difficult, treatment-resistant population and encourage development of day treatment and home outreach programs.  相似文献

Teaching the Conceptual Revolutions in Geometry     

Robert N. Carson  Stuart Rowlands 《Science & Education》2007,16(9-10):921-954

Mathematics begins in human experience thousands of years ago as empirical and intuitive experiences. It takes the deliberate naming of concepts to help crystallize and secure those observations and intuitions as abstract concepts, and to begin separating the concept of number from specific instances of objects. It takes the creation of compact symbols to enable efficient calculation and to begin raising a consciousness of this activity we call mathematics. And it takes the sustained development and discussion of mathematical conventions and practices to create entire domains of mathematical thought, such as we find in geometry. The major innovations and conceptual reformulations are few in number, but these represent perhaps the greatest challenges to learners. Historically significant transformative events have their counterpart in the cognitive growth of the individual. This article examines the interplay between these big ideas in cultural history and the deliberate processes of cognitive change that are their counterpart in the educational process.  相似文献
