▼ This study was designed to examine the experiences of school administrators in both traditional and alternative administrator preparation programs to determine if a specific program style prepares administrators better for the role of school principal. The study utilized survey and semi-structured interview methods to identify and interview eight current and former school principals to elicit their in-depth perceptions on the overall quality and effectiveness of the principal certification preparation program they had completed in preparation for the principalship. Collective interviews and interview data analyses completed during the investigation facilitated the generation of three data-informed “emerging themes” reported as qualitative results of the study. These three emerging themes, supported by and reflecting the collective sets of interviewee perspectives accumulated during qualitative interviews, enabled the researcher to derive some data-informed insights regarding school leaders’ perspectives regarding the perceived quality and effectiveness of traditional and non-traditional principal certification preparation programs. Findings and conclusions derived from the three emerging themes highlighted study respondents’ views regarding: 1) the importance of providing multiple opportunities during preparation programs for aspiring principals to build professional learning and support networks with cohort members, professors, and school leaders; 2) the relevance of hands-on, interactive, and job-related structured internships; and 3) the perceived need for the provision of in-depth preparation program experiences centered on the multiple, real-world process development aspects of the school principal role. Study respondents’ views on the perceived importance of these program dimensions and emphases consistently applied to both traditional and non-traditional programs. Finally, a School Principal Leadership Process Development Model was developed to serve as an initial empirically informed means to conceptually frame the study’s collective findings and conclusions highlighting the overarching perceived need for school principal preparation programs to develop effective school leadership processes and the connections needed to develop those processes to be able to prepare aspiring principals for the constantly changing environment of the school principalship.

▼ Literature indicates that science content knowledge has long presented difficulties for preservice elementary teachers. Analyses of 473 scores from participants' attempts on an elementary certification exam, the TExES EC-6 Core Subjects, Science (804), were analyzed for this study to determine the impact of a physical science intervention that included demonstration lessons, microteaching, and reflection as part of a science methods course on science content knowledge. Analyses of scores for participants making repeat attempts to pass indicated that scores were higher for attempts made after participation in the physical science intervention than attempts made before participation. Of 104 participants who made initial unsuccessful attempts and repeat attempts, the 89 attempts made after participation in the physical science intervention had a mean scaled score of 238.24 (SD = 14.93) while the mean score for the 15 attempts made before participation in the intervention was 219.73 (SD = 20.04). The difference between the mean scaled score for these two groups was statistically significant, t = -4.21, df = 102, p<.001. Score reports from Hispanic/Latino and from White/Non-Hispanic participants who passed on the first attempt (n = 85, MS = 259.82, SD = 12.04 and n = 226, MS = 264.12, SD = 11.92, respectively) were compared to score reports from Hispanic/Latino and White/Non-Hispanic participants who were not successful on the initial attempt and made repeat attempts (n = 32, MS = 235.31, SD = 14.86 and n = 51, MS = 240.06, SD = 15.13). Analysis indicated that there was statistically significant difference in mean scaled scores between the groups who passed the initial attempt (t = -2.83, df = 309, p = .005) while there was no statistically significant difference in the mean scaled scores when comparing Hispanic/Latino and White/Non-Hispanic participants completing multiple attempts (t = -1.40, df = 81, p = .165). A final analysis indicated that for White/Non-Hispanic participants who were not successful on their initial attempt and made multiple attempts, the mean scaled score was higher for attempts made after participation in the intervention (n = 51, MS = 240.06, SD = 15.13) when compared to the mean scaled score of attempts made before participation (n = 12, MS = 225.50, SD = 14.71). The difference in the means of these scaled scores was statistically significant (t = -3.01, df = 61, p =.004).

▼ Name: Barbara Ann Foster Date of Degree: April 29, 2011 Institution: Mississippi State University Major Field: Educational Leadership Major Professor: Dr. Dwight Hare Title of Study: NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: DO THEY RELATE IN LOUISIANA? Pages in Study: 67 Candidate for Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Elementary, Middle, and Secondary School Administration The state of Louisiana has spent a large amount of money over the past years to ensure highly qualified teachers for every student. This study aimed to discover whether or not there was a statistically significant association between teachers who attain National Board Certification and student gains in achievement on standardized tests specifically the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (LEAP) in an urban Louisiana school district. The research was to determine if students taught by Nationally Board Certified teachers (NBCTs) outperformed students of comparable backgrounds taught by Non-Nationally Board Certified Teachers (Non-NBCTs). To accomplish this, the research examined English Language Arts and Mathematics test scores of fourth and eighth grade students taught by NBCTs and compared them with those of students taught by Non-NBCTs to determine if the gains made by the group taught by NBCTs were statistically significantly different from those taught by Non-NBCTs. The results of the data analysis indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the score differences of fourth grade English Language Arts students and eighth grade English Language Arts students taught by NBCTs when compared to those taught by Non-NBCTs. The fourth and eighth grade score differences of students taught by NBCTs were statistically significantly higher. However, the analysis of the data also revealed there was not a statistically significant difference between the score differences of 4th grade math students taught by NBCTs when compared to those taught by Non-NBCTs. There were no NBCTs for 8th grade Mathematics students. One recommendation for further research should be to focus on more than one district to determine if results would be similar. Another recommendation, the Louisiana Department of Education should study all areas of high-stakes testing within the state to determine if teacher certification, especially NBCTs, have an impact on student achievement. The Louisiana Department of Educations should use its extensive data base for a study determine whether National Board Certification contributes to increases in student achievement across all grade levels.

Cette thèse a pour objet l'étude du rôle des intermédiaires dans la diffusion d'information sur un marché. Il peut s'agir d'une information existante mais coûteuse a acquérir pour les acheteurs (par exemple l'information disponible sur des sites comparatifs sur internet) ou encore d'une information qui fait l'objet d'une certification par l'intermédiaire qui résout ainsi le problème de l'asymétrie d'information sur la qualité des produits dans le cas de biens d'expérience (rôle joué par exemple par les guides touristiques ou gastronomiques)L'analyse prendra aussi en compte les diverses stratégies des agents participant au marché : les consommateurs qui peuvent se procurer directement l'information en prospectant sans passer par l'intermédiaire et les entreprises qui peuvent transmettre directement l'information sans passer par les intermédiaires (en créant leur propre site web) ou qui peuvent avoir des stratégies indépendantes de certification de leur produit ou encore avoir des stratégies de signal de la qualité. La question de la réputation de l'intermédiaire pourra aussi être prise en compte, notamment en matière de certification ou encore la possibilité pour les consommateurs de faire un travail bénévole de certification en rendant public des avis lorsqu'ils ont déjà essayé le produit.

This paper uses a search model with the product differentiation in a two-sided market. The two-sided market matches sellers with buyers. On the buyers' side it supplies some match information between the goods and the buyers. On the firms' side, it sells some empty slots to the firms. Any firm either takes a place in any platform or stays outside. Buyers search for a good either inside or outside the platform. Each search of the an outside firm is costly and gives the match information between the searcher (buyer) and the seller. We study two cases. In the first case, all buyers obtain the match information in the platform for free. The equilibrium price and profit of an inside firm drops in the number of inside firms. The monopoly platform, by adjusting the entrance fee, admit fewer firms under a higher search cost. If the market has two platforms, they generally admit more firms than the case with one platform. In the second case, the platform is able to impose a fee for all consumers who enter the platform. Our last result has indicated that the platform will register all buyers and firms.

▼ This study was undertaken to assess the impacts of adoption of various types of coffee certifications on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. The main objective of this study was to compare the livelihood of farmers under the different producer groups with respect to their income and food security situation. It begins with an introduction to impact assessment and a description of the methodology and its challenges with an outline of the method used for handling outliers and comparing the certified and non certified farmers and the producer groups. Secondary data from coffee survey data collected by COSA and partners for analyzing the impact of sustainability standards forms the basis of this study. Multi stage cluster sampling was used to sample farmers that were interviewed. In the first stage, the coffee growing areas in Tanzania and the active certification programs were identified. Then second level producer groups that had obtained certification were used to obtained the sampling frame of the first level producer groups. Random sampling was then used to select the first level producer groups and also randomly select villages with farmer in the producer groups. Non parametric methods have been used to compare the producer groups because one sample does not follow a normal distribution and most of them are highly skewed. Error bars plots have been used to compare the significance difference in the producer groups. Aggregate income from the different forms in which coffee was sold has been computed and used for comparison. It also evaluates the food security situation last production year of the farmers across the different producer groups. The key indicators used showed that generally adoption of the various coffee certifications programs have positive impacts on income and food security. In the course of this study,-the areas of further research that emerged are; an evaluation of the farmers livelihood before intervention is done to ascertain whether their livelihood has changed due to adoption of certification or due to other factors and the development of a stepwise procedure for an outlier identification and ascertaining their validity. The methods that were used for outlier detection were subjective.

▼ Alternative routes to teacher certification have increasingly gained popularity since the early 1980s. This increased attention is due to added focus on teacher quality and quantity. By participating in an alternative certification program, candidates are afforded the opportunity to obtain full teacher certification in an abbreviated time period. Completers of alternative certification programs are tasked with the same responsibilities as traditionally certified teachers. A substantial number of adults are making the decision to transition into the dynamic world of teaching. There are numerous debates regarding the efficacy of alternative pathways. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the belief that alternative teacher certification aids in creating a diversified workforce. However, limited research exists on the level of preparation participants perceive they acquire upon completion of an alternative certification program. The purpose of the study was to explore the perceived teaching preparation of completers of an alternative certification program as it relates to their preparation to teach diverse populations. This exploration focused on their perceptions of preparation in terms of content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, curricular knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and personal practical knowledge. This case study used qualitative research methods of data collection and analysis. Interviews were conducted with each study participant. The interview questions were based on Shulman’s (1987) Model of Teacher Knowledge and Connelly and Clandinin’s Theory of Personal Practical Knowledge. The interview protocol was divided into the following sections: (1) content knowledge, (2) curricular knowledge, (3) pedagogical knowledge, (4) pedagogical content knowledge, and (5) personal practical knowledge. The study findings indicated alternatively certified teachers upon completion of their respective certification program felt very prepared to face the challenges of teaching any student who entered their classrooms. Although the alternatively certified teachers perceived their level of preparedness to be high, they were only marginally prepared to handle classroom management and building a connection with students in an urban school district. Although this study is based on completers’ self-perceptions, the findings from the study provide data on the effectiveness of alternative certification programs and offer a foundation for future research that extends to other regions, states, or geographical areas.

▼ Following to the industrial competition which is getting along intense day by day, it is a deeply concerned subject to the manufacturer from spread global world, how to prove their product into the international market successfully. Facing in the culture and language of different country, as well as various countriesâ tedious product laws, regulations and multiple limits in the procedure, the manufacturer confront the enormous challenge with the product development into the global market. Increasing by the demands of the global certification system gradually, in order to win the initiative, it is essential to let their product obtain various countriesâ approval positively and rapidly. The main purpose for this research contains the discussion in different circuitâs characteristic of certification body, different circuitâs shortcomings and advantages, and the choicesâ estimation of consideration factor in certification systems. This pattern of research adopts personal methodology in processing empirical analysis which belongs to the personal design and analysis issue. We discover that different circuit strategy causes the influence on the manufacturer and certification body. While the certification body draws up the circuit strategy to comply with the manufacturerâs demands, they must expect the effect to different circuitâs variation meanwhile. Speaking of the manufacturer or certification body, it causes different kinds of advantages and shortcomings no matter for the zeroth order circuit or the first-order circuit. Although the zeroth order circuit is a pipeline that lets the coordination and communication between manufacturer and the certification body directly, however, the latent shortcoming still exists. The different circuit system applies to different suitable situation in Taiwan.

▼ As a result of agreements negotiated at the World Trade Organisation (WTO), traditional trade protection measures such as tariffs and quotas are falling away. But to some extent they are being replaced by domestic technical regulations that permit countries to bar products from entering their markets if the products do not meet certain standards. To become and remain competitive, producers and suppliers must meet the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) requirements set by importers’ governments in importing countries. Some SPS measures are very simple and specific, but others are combined in extremely complex systems like the requirements governing the import of plants and plant products for entry in to the European Union (EU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytosanitary certification system currently used by the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO) of South Africa with regard to exports of agricultural produce to the European market and to develop an effective and efficient strategy to ensure compliance with the European Union’s phytosanitary regulations. The expansion of world trade has placed a huge responsibility on the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO) of South Africa to facilitate safe agricultural trade with its international trading partners. After putting the phytosanitary constraints/ weaknesses faced by the South African Export Regulatory System into perspective, numerous aspects of the export process were considered in this study. The NPPO of South Africa does experience capacity constraints in its phytosanitary export regulatory system mostly due to the recent restructuring of the Department of Agriculture (DOA). This information, combined with background information obtained from the personal experience of the author as a plant health officer for the past ten years at the Department of Agriculture and the analysis of questionnaires indicated that the current phytosanitary certification system are the most fundamental impediment to accessing foreign markets. This is followed by an evaluation of the export certification system to identify the major challenges experienced by the NPPO officials in phytosanitary certification to the European markets. Lack of fundamental scientific knowledge and the inability to interpret the phytosanitary import requirements of the European market were identified as the elementary barriers to phytosanitary compliance. Finally, the accuracy of phytosanitary certification is of paramount importance for international trade. If credibility is lost, this can result in stricter and lengthier inspection procedures in importing countries and eventually loss of markets. This study resulted in the development of a certification guide to equip the NPPO of South Africa with the necessary technical assistance to ensure compliance with the European Union’s phytosanitary regulations. This standard operating procedure (SOP) is currently in used by the certification officials of the DOA. Advisors/Committee Members: Prof L Korsten (advisor).

▼ This dissertation consists of three chapters that study issues in Corporate Finance and Industrial Organization related to the behavior of markets with asymmetric information. The first two chapters study the economics of credit rating agencies; the third chapter examines a process of social learning about product quality. Chapter 1 models the effect of rating agency competition on the quality of rated securities. I compare equilibria across a regime of competition between two rating agencies and a monopolistic regime. In both regimes, all available agencies are hired in equilibrium, so under competition more ratings are observed. However, competing agencies do not fully internalize the return of a reputation for being honest. Whenever strategic agencies are not very concerned about their reputation, competition can induce more issuer effort than monopoly. Otherwise, a monopolistic agency induces more effort. Chapter 2 analyzes the effect of the Cuomo Plan, a much-discussed regulation that prohibits issuers of residential mortgage-backed securities from making payments to rating agencies contingent on the assigned ratings. I construct a certification model which consists of the following features: (i) an issuer privately informed about her security's quality can hire a rating agency to assign a rating; (ii) the agency can observe, at a cost, a private signal correlated with the quality of the security; (iii) an undeserved favorable rating reduces the agency's future revenues. I show that the Plan has an effect on the informative content of the rating only if the agency's signal is not too costly. In this case, the Plan ensures that the rating is more informative; otherwise the Plan has no effect. In chapter 3, I study the pricing strategy of a monopolistic firm in a market characterized by consumers with heterogeneous preferences and private information about the product quality. Consumers purchase sequentially and observe the history of purchasing decisions, prices, and consumers' preferences. I characterize the conditions under which the monopolist gains when consumers learn the true quality, and, which pricing strategy ensures that learning takes place.

▼ ABSTRACT: The construction sector is one of the most important sectors within the European Union as it provides building and infrastructure, which is the base of all the other sectors of the economy. Besides, it has been estimated that the construction sector influences, in one way or another, around 26 million workers in the European Union. At the same time, it is necessary to notice that the construction sector has always been characterized by a large share of Small and Medium enterprises. Even though most of these small companies related to the construction sector operate principally at a local or regional level, the markets’ internationalisation is importantly influencing the industry. In the recent years, the labour market has suffered significant alterations and factors such as the knowledge-based economy, the increasing speed of technological developments and the new technologies have influenced the need to improve people’s working skills. As a result, certification systems of skills arise and become a necessary tool to suit the new trends of the labour market. Furthermore, the construction sector influences considerably sustainability and climate change issues. So, as its environmental impact is quite important, sustainability can be seen as a long- term matter in terms of legislative and political demands in addition to the competitive factor for the companies. In this regard, sustainable related requirements will highly influence the skills demands of the sector. Moreover, economic, social and environmental factors have to be considered when analysing the upcoming trends and needs of the construction industry as these problems are considerably affecting the construction industry. One of the consequences of the economic decline is a big impact on the supply of skills within the construction sector. The construction industry is facing a shortfall in terms of skills and labour so it is essential to address this issue if the industry wants to keep up with the current and future demand and trigger the desirable change towards sustainable development. Therefore, there is a need of a qualified building workforce. It is essential to improve the skills of middle and senior level professionals and blue collar workers in the area of energy efficiency and sustainable construction. Workforces should be aware of new upcoming challenges related to nearly-zero energy buildings. Consequently, this research seeks to come up with a solution to deal with the lack of knowledge of the labour force in relation to sustainability and energy efficient construction and, if possible, to create a connection with new methodologies as it is Building Information Modelling. It is expected to create a EU-criteria for a certification scheme that can help workers to prove their competencies, no matter where they have been acquired, and improve their mobility within the European Union. Moreover, blue collar workers will be aware of the latest trends and technologies of the construction sector so it will improve their employability and… Advisors/Committee Members: Gallego Navarro, Teresa (advisor), Universidad de Cantabria (other).

▼ While the practice of managing trees in and near human settlements has been around for most of human history, urban forestry has only been organizing as a discrete profession since the mid-1960s. As a relatively new profession, urban forestry lacks much of the structure and organization seen in other professions. This study will contrast urban forestry against other professions to identify strategies for improving recruitment into urban forestry, collaboration with other professions, and career opportunities. Civil engineers, landscape architects, and urban planners (the allied professions) work together to plan and manage the urban environment, but urban foresters report difficulties integrating into or collaborating with this group diminishing their ability to influence urban forest management decisions. Allied professionals were surveyed on their usage of professional support mechanisms (e.g., certification) and their perception of professionalism in urban forestry. We found they are heavily invested in processes and functions that support practitioners and regulate their professions via certification, and the adoption of similar mechanisms by urban forestry would likely facilitate improved social capital. Enrollment in urban forestry degree programs is too low and diversity of practitioners is unrepresentative of the urban areas served. Over 1,000 life and natural science-oriented college students at 18 U.S. universities were surveyed on their perceptions of urban forestry as a career. Aside from the wealthiest students displaying lower interest in urban forestry than others, we found no demographic characteristics (i.e., race, gender, socio-economic status, residential setting growing up) that would preclude urban forestry from recruiting a greater diversity of students. Poor awareness of urban forestry seems to be the greatest obstacle to improved recruitment outcomes. Regularly probing the career opportunities of a profession for weaknesses and deficiencies is a tool of self-improvement commonly seen in other professions. We analyzed 151 job postings to assess typical salary, job duties, and requirements of education and certifications. We also interviewed 17 successful candidates to those positions to compare reality against written postings. A dearth of entry-level positions is likely deterring potential recruits. Employers were not posting 40% of the duties urban foresters were performing. Experience as an arborist was accepted in lieu of education as an urban forester in about half of positions, though a degree was required to reach the highest paying jobs.

▼ This study focuses on the expectations of restaurant managers and perceived attributes of halal certification in Malaysia. Halal certification at restaurants represents the understanding that foods is served according to Islamic dietary laws. Halal means permitted or lawful or fit for consumption. As well as its importance in Muslim countries, the demand for halal food is growing internationally as a result of increasing trade, tourism and globalization. Therefore, halal certification is seen as an important aspect in both the Malaysian and the international restaurant and hospitality industries. Halal certification in an eating premises means that both the restaurants, as well as the entire food supply chain, conform to Islamic dietary rules which do not tolerate contamination by haram (prohibited) materials. Research for this thesis was undertaken by both a mail survey and interviews with restaurant managers. For the survey, a systematic sampling method was applied whereby every fourth restaurant was selected from a list of all restaurants in Malaysia provided by the Companies Commission. A mail survey to 2080 restaurants was administered throughout Malaysia in July 2009. The number of completed and returned questionnaires was 643, indicating a 31% response rate. Data was then entered into a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for further analysis. The response rate was considered reasonable given the nature of the study and its limitations. In addition, 33 interviews with restaurant managers were conducted in five locations. The results indicate that restaurant managers have high expectations towards halal certification although there are different expectations between Muslim and non-Muslim respondents with respect to attributes such as food safety, hygiene, food quality, marketing aspects and certification issues. It is also gathered that there are significant differences between them with respect to market signals, Islamic attributes, marketing benefits, cost of compliance and local awareness. This thesis concludes that halal certification does yield some benefits in terms of market signals, Islamic attributes and marketing factors while there are also certain issues on cost and compliance that need to be addressed by related local authorities. The findings also indicate that halal restaurant food may have a broader appeal beyond religion and also contributes to Malaysia’s positioning as a tourism destination and a hub for the global halal market.
