The portrayal of Russia in Western popular culture has served various purposes, particularly between 1945 and 1991. With a few exceptions, Soviet citizens, particularly Russians, have been shown as, alternatingly, backwards peasants and cunning enemies. In the post-1991 period, this tradition of showing Russia as the enemy continued in film and television, but tapered off in favor of more seemingly relevant foes on the world stage. While film analyses focusing on the portrayal of Russia and Russians have been done, the renewal of focus on Cold War imagery in reference to Russia and the West has not been commented on. Because of the so-called Illegals Program uncovered in 2010, the attempted "reset" between the United States and the Russian Federation, increased Western media coverage of human rights issues in Russia, and many other types of exposure, including the annexation of Crimea and the conflict with Russia-backed anti-Kiev militias in eastern Ukraine, Russia has taken center-stage and is subject not only to international scrutiny, but also to rehashed prejudices and outdated knowledge of the country that stems from old antagonisms. The television programs The Americans, Archer, and Doctor Who all look at Russia and the relationship of Russia with the West through a Cold War lens. I argue that this resurgence is in response to both Cold War nostalgia and a renewal of Russia's relevance on the world stage. By analyzing these programs, it will be shown that the types of information and impressions that are being promoted by popular culture of late at once serve to provide nuance to an ordinarily one-sided and limited portrayal of Russia and its people, and at the same time reinforce old, stale images of the "Evil Empire" that only serve to prevent understanding and cooperation between the citizens of the West and of Russia.

My thesis starts by looking at Lenin's interpretation of Marxism. The Leninist ideas of a tangible reality, the rejection of social democratic compromise and the importance of social responsibility as well as personal responsibility for political action. These ideas that facilitated the 1917 Bolshevik revolution in Russia can be paralleled to the ideas later used by anti-government activists. I examine the sociopolitical environment of the Soviet Union following Stalin's death in 1953. With Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin a new era began across the Eastern Bloc. Using Václav Havel and his interpretation of Jan Patočka's phenomenology I create a wide schema for what is, and ultimately what creates a political "dissident." Phenomenology examines the way individuals interpret first person experiences, and what meaning they then apply to those experiences. Arguably the tyrannical environment of the Eastern Bloc shaped its own opposition. I then present the work of several Russian "dissidents" to first show the truly Leninist roots of their work, and then illustrate that this "dissidence" is not a national movement, rather it was shaped by oppression. Thus "dissidents" are forced to politically act because they have learned to from their own history. The foundations of the Bolshevik revolution necessitated radical political action because of an overwhelming social responsibility. The concept of a world unified proletariat revolution can be modernized to a concept of a world wide dissident movement against tyranny.

In response to a heightening concern for international justice, in the late 1990`s in Rome, Italy over 160 countries deliberated on the most suitable approach to an international standard dealing with war crimes, crimes of aggression, crimes against humanity and genocide. In reference to the International Criminal Court`s jurisdiction, these four crimes have come to be termed ―core crimes.‖ Although the culmination was the establishment of the ICC a variety of countries stood against such an establishment and fought to weaken the Court`s jurisdictional reach. The United States of America took center stage during the deliberations in Rome as one of these countries, voting against the Court with such infamous human rights abusers as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran, among others. Determined to undermine the Court`s ability to threaten national sovereignty the U.S. even went so far as to pass legislation enabling it to invade The Hague upon the possible arrest of any U.S. military representative. Despite U.S. objections though, the Court operates as a new standard for international justice and labors to hold war criminals accountable. Further, among the various movements, standards and ad hoc tribunals, the ICC stands alone as the first permanent international judicial composition with universal jurisdiction over core crimes. With the Court having a direct affect on international human rights standards and accountability, as well as being an important leader through its role on the global stage, this paper will detail the history of the aforementioned movements as well as their influence on the ICC`s creation. Further, the U.S. objections and reaction to the Court will be summarized and responded to with the conclusion that U.S. interests would be served by both signing and ratifying the Rome Treaty. Whereas a denial of ICC jurisdiction over core crimes seemingly protects national sovereignty, the same denial undermines the U.S. position of leadership in the world theatre. Finally, although more difficult to quantify, undermining the position of U.S. leadership in this manner invariably creates a far more dangerous threat to U.S. national sovereignty than does allowing the ICC to exercise complementary jurisdiction over the core crimes.

Land use in Florida has seen many changes since it became an American territory in 1821. But while land use can be a categorical term for classifying property, it can also take on a more valuable meaning. When the land was originally opened up for frontier settlers and wealthy planters to farm in the early years, it usually meant family and freedom as individuals and large kinship networks migrated south to establish homesteads and plantations. This population was mostly concentrated in Middle Florida or the northern part of the state. Leading up to the Civil War, cotton was obviously a royal crop and a manufacturing movement emerged to support the momentum toward Southern independence. However, the aftermath of the Civil War seems to be a turning point for the dominantly agrarian region as timber, railroads, and tourism changed the way residents used the land. While Northwest Florida retained agriculture as a major part of the economy, the peninsula became more developed and populated, mostly with wealthy Northern tourists, and in effect, the state transformed into two distinct regions with very different environments and cultures. Comparisons between the two sections are made throughout the study to illustrate lessons that can be learned from one to the other. Sprawl, congestion, and overdevelopment's assault on the environment are common concerns. My focus for this study is to show how land use and essentially rural life changed for those individuals who were accustomed to subsistence farming in Northwest Florida. Land prices, a decline in farm acreage, population distribution, and suburbanization exhibit this transformation. In addition, the intention is to show the assets of the Panhandle through its environment, rural character, and agrarian heritage which equates into a revered quality of life. The rural places of Northwest Florida deserve protection from inappropriate and misplaced development using rural land conservation and land-use planning techniques while revitalizing towns and cities that have already been developed and preserving the region's vast historical resources for future generations.

▼ Since the inception of the student supernumerary status, both globally and in South Africa, nursing and midwifery educators have been concerned about the clinical competencies of their students. Student clinical competency levels in South Africa are critical to midwifery practice, especially as most litigation against the Department of Health in South Africa concerns negligence in midwifery practice. In addition, the litigations mostly involve newly qualified midwives, thus suggesting a link with practice competency levels. Several challenges exist in the academic and practice environments regarding student learning, practice and clinical preparedness. Lack of support during clinical placement and a lack of facilities for use during clinical practice modules are among these challenges. Some students, due to the challenges they face with clinical learning and practice, fail to meet the practical competencies for examination entry requirements. Consequently, some of these students have to repeat the year or exit the programme. The current study sought to identify how to assist midwifery educators in their activities to prepare students for clinical placement readiness. The first objective of the study was to explore and describe the perceptions of midwifery educators regarding the need for additional measures to enhance the clinical preparedness of basic midwifery students before they are allocated to the clinical areas. The second objective sought to make recommendations that would further assist the midwifery educators to clinically prepare midwifery students before being allocated and placed in different clinical areas. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was used for the study and the study was conducted at a nursing college in the Eastern Cape Province from August 2014 to January 2016. The research population consisted of midwifery educators at a nursing college and a purposive sampling technique was used guided by set criteria. Data were collected using focus group interviews. Four focus groups were used making a total of 17 participants. The principles applied for data analysis were those of Tesch’s method of data analysis, which were used to develop the themes and sub-themes. An independent coder assisted with the coding of the data for the purposes of trustworthiness. In addition, Lincoln and Guba’s model of trustworthiness consisting of the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability and conformability was used to confirm the validity of the study while the ethical principles adopted were informed consent, justice, non-maleficence, privacy and confidentiality. The study found that the participants perceived numerous challenges that hindered the clinical preparedness of their students. These related to increased workload, lack of support from management and a lack of commitment on the part of students towards their studies. The participants also identified inconsistencies in clinical practice between the clinical midwives and the educators, and even among the…

▼ This study took place at a private high school in the Kavango region with my 32 grade 10B learners as the research participants. Its objective was to investigate how the grade 10 learners make sense of concepts on refraction of light through exploring their cultural beliefs/everyday experiences about the rainbow. This research study was essentially triggered by my own classroom experience of teaching the topic on refraction of light. In order to achieve the goal of this research, a qualitative case study located within an interpretive paradigm was adopted. To gather data I used multiple data gathering techniques such as brainstorming session, learners conducting interviews in the community, practical activities and focus group interviews. This resulted in descriptive data that qualified to be analyzed in a qualitative way. The themes that emerged from the generated data were coded using upper letter cases and various colours. A methodological triangulation was employed by using multiple data generation techniques. Member checking during focus group interviews also ensured validity in this case study. The findings of this study revealed that the use of learners’ cultural beliefs/everyday experiences can be used to enhance learner engagement, meaning making and conceptual development during the science lessons. In addition, the ways in which practical activities are designed and presented to learners in the science classroom determine learners’ participation and conceptual attainment. Therefore, based on my research findings, I recommend that teachers need to be trained to be able to elicit and integrate learners’ cultural beliefs/everyday experiences in conjunction with hands-on practical activities which focus on conceptual development during their science lessons. However, although this study had many benefits, it also showed that it is not easy to close the gap between learners’ prior everyday knowledge and school science. This warrants further research.

Steven Conn recently argued that as museums change from warehouses of artifacts focused on public instruction to a different model of education by engagement, their emphasis on objects will become less necessary. This dissertation directly engages with that idea and argues that for many local museums objects mean as much as they ever did, maybe even more. My idea, the “currency of authenticity,” builds on two strands of scholarship. One that traces the increasing commodification of history. The other that local museums are just as worthy of study as national institutions. Specifically, I analyze how smaller museums use material culture to convince their audience that their textual narrative and/or oral interpretation is just as truthful as its objects. Using institutional records, newspapers, and oral histories, this dissertation examines how the Stephen Foster Museum and Florida Folk Festival, both in White Springs, Florida, and the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village portray aspects of Southern culture. Each of these places emphasizes different qualities, objects, or ideas as they construct their own brand of authenticity. Simultaneously, these places also all emphasize their own kind of Southern identity, unique to their regions and the people they want to represent. Their exhibits demonstrate that Southern heritage is vast, complex, and more diverse than some people understand.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the modeling of deductive reasoning and proof-type thinking occurs in a mathematics course in which students are not explicitly preparing to write formal mathematical proofs. Algebra was chosen because it is the course that typically directly precedes a student's first formal introduction to proof in geometry in the United States. The lens through which this study aimed to examine the intended curriculum was by identifying and reviewing the modeling of proof and deductive reasoning in the most popular and widely circulated algebra textbooks throughout the United States. Textbooks have a major impact on mathematics classrooms, playing a significant role in determining a teacher's classroom practices as well as student activities. A rubric was developed to analyze the presence of reasoning and proof in algebra textbooks, and an analysis of the coverage of various topics was performed. The findings indicate that, roughly speaking, students are only exposed to justification of mathematical claims and proof-type thinking in 38% of all sections analyzed. Furthermore, only 6% of coded sections contained an actual proof or justification that offered the same ideas or reasoning as a proof. It was found that when there was some justification or proof present, the most prevalent means of convincing the reader of the truth of a concept, theorem, or procedure was through the use of specific examples. Textbooks attempting to give a series of examples to justify or convince the reader of the truth of a concept, theorem, or procedure often fell short of offering a mathematical proof because they lacked generality and/or, in some cases, the inductive step. While many textbooks stated a general rule at some point, most only used deductive reasoning within a specific example if at all. Textbooks rarely expose students to the kinds of reasoning required by mathematical proof in that they rarely expose students to reasoning about mathematics with generality. This study found a lack of sufficient evidence of instruction or modeling of proof and reasoning in secondary school algebra textbooks. This could indicate that, overall, algebra textbooks may not fulfill the proof and reasoning guidelines set forth by the NCTM Principles and Standards and the Common Core State Standards. Thus, the enacted curriculum in mathematics classrooms may also fail to address the recommendations of these influential and policy defining organizations.

▼ This study analyzed the mathematical problem solving behavior of mathematically gifted students. It focused on a specific fourth step of Polya's (1945) problem solving process, namely, looking back to find alternative approaches to solve the same problem. Specifically, this study explored problem solving using many different approaches. It examined the relationships between students' past mathematical experiences and the number of approaches and the kind of mathematics topics they used to solve three non-standard mathematics problems. It also analyzed the aesthetic of students' approaches from the perspective of expert mathematicians and the aesthetic of these experts' preferred approaches from the perspective of the students. Fifty-four students from a specialized high school were selected to participate in this study that began with the analysis of their past mathematical experiences by means of a preliminary survey. Nine of the 54 students took a test requiring them to solve three non-standard mathematics problems using many different approaches. A panel of three research mathematicians was consulted to evaluate the mathematical aesthetic of those approaches. Then, these nine students were interviewed. Also, all 54 students took a second survey to support inferences made while observing the problem solving behavior of the nine students. This study showed that students generally were not familiar with the practice of looking back. Indeed, students generally chose to supply only one workable, yet mechanistic approach as long as they obtained a correct answer to the problem. The findings of this study suggested that, to some extent, students' past mathematical experiences were connected with the number of approaches they used when solving non-standard mathematics problems. In particular, the findings revealed that students' most recent exposure of their then-AP Calculus course played an important role in their decisions on selecting approaches for solution. In addition, the findings showed that students' problem solving approaches were considered to be the least "beautiful" by the panel of experts and were often associated with standard approaches taught by secondary school mathematics teachers. The findings confirmed the results of previous studies that there is no direct connection between the experts' and students' views of "beauty" in mathematics.

▼ The purpose of the study was to evaluate two approaches to teaching spelling and vocabulary to second through fourth graders in two different urban school systems to determine if one program revealed greater growth scores on Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) reading components. Research question 1 posited: Does Word Study, a developmental approach to spelling and vocabulary, impact the mastery of specific reading and language arts subtests on the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) for Hispanic English Learners? Five sub-questions assessed whether Hispanic ELs who were taught a developmental approach, using Word Study, achieve better TCAP scores than Hispanic ELs who were not taught spelling and vocabulary with a rigorous developmental approach in: a) Content (reading) b) Meaning (reading) c) Vocabulary d) Techniques and Skills e) Grammar Conventions Research question 2 asked: How do teacher beliefs and attitudes toward spelling and vocabulary instruction affect Hispanic ELs’ reading achievement? Sub-questions were: Do teachers in either or both districts believe spelling and vocabulary programs were implemented with fidelity? Do teacher beliefs and practices vary between the two spelling and vocabulary programs? How many times per week did spelling and vocabulary instruction occur in each district? Did teachers differentiate spelling and vocabulary instruction for Hispanic ELs in each district? Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were implemented. For research question 1, both districts demonstrated positive growth gains in Content and Meaning. District A students showed gains in Vocabulary. Techniques and Skills performance revealed a decline for District A while District B showed gains. District A Hispanic ELs demonstrated growth gains on Grammar Conventions. The qualitative analysis revealed that teacher s in both District A (56%) and District B (58%) were positive in their attitudes toward the value of explicitly teaching spelling and vocabulary. District A teachers revealed challenges with implementing a new approach while teachers in District B used the adopted basal reading program. Implications for practice were identified from both research-based programs. Educators in Tennessee can build on the foundation of effective reading, spelling, and vocabulary strategies examined in this study to ensure success for EL students, as well as all struggling or reluctant readers.

Science education has moved toward engaging students in the practices of science, including modeling, argumentation, and explanation (Krajcik, McNeill, & Reiser, 2008). One way to engage students in these practices is through model-based inquiry learning environments in which they engage in scientific practices including argumentation using evidence (Lehrer, Schauble, & Lucas, 2008). Students develop verbal and written arguments through interpreting and identifying evidence and using them to support or develop a model that explains the evidence. But there are challenges for students: students may not understand certain aspects of argumentation, including argument construction, evaluating claims and evidence, and using evidence to justify a claim (Driver, Newton, & Osborne, 2000; Sandoval & Millwood, 2005), because this practice is different from the practices with which they are familiar (McNeill, 2011; Ryu & Sandoval, 2012). To address the challenges of learning to argue with models and evidence, it is important to examine the trajectories of change in students’ argumentation along multiple dimensions of reasoning. By exploring students’ written arguments at different points of instruction and over an extended period of time, one can look to see when change in students’ arguments actually occurred and how this change occurs (Ryu & Sandoval, 2012). To determine the changes in students’ written arguments that can occur over multiple months of model-based inquiry instruction, I analyzed students’ written argumentation during a six-month implementation of a model-based inquiry curriculum. In my analyses, I focused on how components of students’ arguments changed and identified patterns of change in arguments across time for individual students as well as for higher-performing and lower-performing students. The purpose of the study was to examine the trajectories of change in students’ written arguments, by focusing on how students’ reasoning emerges, identifying differences in the quality and structure of students’ arguments, and if certain competencies appear first before others develop. This study will help to advance our understanding of how student’s reasoning emerges and changes over the school year, and how it can be supported in a model-based inquiry classroom.

▼ This study was set out to establish the challenges faced by refugee pupils in initial literacy acquisition at Meheba D Basic School.The research design was a case study and for that reason qualitative method was used to collect data. The data were collected through interviews, lesson observations and out of classroom observations. The target population was all the Grade One refugee pupils at Meheba D Basic School. The total number was one hundred and twenty four (124) pupils. The class teacher, school head teacher and District Educational Board Secretary (DEBS) also were sampled in the study. The total of one hundred and twenty seven (127) respondents participated in the study. The study revealed six main challenges faced by refugee pupils in initial literacy acquisition. These were: the use of an unfamiliar language (Kikaonde) to teach/learn initial literacy, long distance between refugee pupils’ homes and the school; overcrowded classrooms; shortage of NBTL learning/teaching materials; frequent movements of refugees, and poverty among refugees.The study further revealed that Kikaonde was not the refugee pupils’ language of play both at home and school.In view of the findings, the following recommendations were made. The Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should revisit the language being used for teaching at Meheba D Basic School. The mother tongue of the refugee pupils should be used to teach and learn initial literacy. Since Meheba D Basic School is a public school, the government of Zambia through the Ministry in charge of Education in collaboration with UNHCR should train and employ refugee teachers to teach NBTL lessons so that refugee pupils are taught in their mother tongues. UNHCR in collaboration with the government of Zambia should build at least a basic school in all the zones of Maheba settlement in order to avoid the long distance covered by refugee pupils to Meheba D Basic School. There is a need to have smaller classes at Meheba D Basic School. The Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should split the grade one class into three classes. Finally, the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should provide adequate NBTL materials in order to facilitate the acquisition of initial literacy at Meheba D Basic Schools. UNHCR should come in to help.

▼ This study investigated the provision of science teaching and learning materials in the high schools of Northern Province. The specific objectives of the study were to identify the current practices in the provision of teaching and learning materials in high schools; to assess the adequacy and state of the existing science physical infrastructure in high schools; to establish the adequacy of teaching and learning materials in science subjects through such indicators as pupil-book ratio; pupil-laboratory space ratio; and pupil-equipment ratio and to find out the challenges which schools face in the provision of teaching and learning materials in science subjects. The study employed a survey and descriptive study research designs were used. Twenty five schools, 25 heads of science departments and 15 deputy head teachers were randomly sampled to form the study sample. Data was collected using questionnaires and observation schedules. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) was used for quantitative analysis of data whereas the views of participants were analysed qualitatively by grouping them into categories according to emerging themes. The findings were that some key science teaching and learning materials were not available in school. Even those which were available were not adequate. For instance, the pupil-apparatus ratio for the most abundant apparatus was 14:1. Similarly, the pupil-book ratios for the most abundant text books were 7.2:1, 14:1 and 23: for biology, chemistry and physics respectively. Most schools did not have science laboratories. Furthermore, most schools did not have a science policy. Apart from that teachers were facing a lot of challenges in the teaching of science such as over-enrolment of pupils amidst lack of teaching and learning materials. It was also revealed that the local book publishing industry and the National Science Centre were doing very little to increase the availability of teaching and learning materials in science in schools.The study recommends increased government funding towards the purchasing of science materials by increasing per pupil capita; government investment in laboratory and classroom construction and support for the book publishing industry.

▼ This study sought to assess the nature of factors affecting interest and attitudes of pupils toward learning Mathematics in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern Province. The objective of the study was to determine the nature of factors that contribute to pupils developing interest or lacking interest and developing positive or negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics. The aim of the study was to answer the following questions; what is the nature of factors contributing to pupils’ interest or lack of interest or having negative or positive attitudes toward learning Mathematics in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern Province? ; What nature of interest or attitudes do pupils have toward learning Mathematics in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern province? The research used a survey design with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, when collecting data from pupils and teachers teaching Mathematics. A questionnaire for Grade 10, 11 and 12 pupils on interest and attitudes was administered. The other questionnaire was administered to teachers. Focus group discussions and interviews were also conducted for teachers and pupils to consolidate the collected data. Data collected from the pupils’ questionnaire and the teachers’ questionnaire were analysed quantitatively using Likert scale with five options choices to be selected. The last parts of the questionnaire contained open ended questions for pupils and teachers to comment or explain. The focus group discussions and interview findings were analyzed qualitatively by categorizing, describing and explaining, while descriptive statistical methods like mean, bar charts, standard deviation, percentages and frequency distribution were used to illustrate and analyze the data obtained from the Likerts scale. v According to the research findings the nature of interest and attitudes of Secondary School pupils show that pupils had little interest or had negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics. The research revealed that rural Secondary Schools had more pupils who lacked interest and had negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics compared to the pupils from urban schools in selected Secondary Schools in Eastern Province. The research also showed that pupils lost interest and developed negative attitudes toward learning Mathematics, mainly because of the Mathematics teachers and other factors such as poor pupils’ grade 9 mathematics results; lack of text books (teaching and learning materials); location of the school (rural or urban); Parents, and peers, advice or comments. However, the type of school and sex of the teacher were identified to have no direct influence on the interest and attitudes of the pupils toward learning mathematics. The mathematics teachers were labelled as the major contributors to why pupils lose interest and develop negative attitude in the way they conducted their lessons and interacted with pupils. The study recommends that the Teacher Training Institution should encourage the use of pupil centered methods;…

▼ This study investigated the effectiveness of the 'Physicsclassroom' computer software in the learning of kinematics in high school physics at Munali Boys High School in Lusaka. The main objective was to find out if this software could enhance pupil performance in kinematics in physics at Munali Boys High School when it was used as a supplement to traditional learning methods. An experimental design of the pre-test post-test type was used. The main sources of data were: pre- and post-tests, an attitude questionnaire, an observation schedule, participant reports and an interview with physics teachers. The sample for the study consisted of 40 grade 12 boys of Munali Boys High School. Half the number of boys were in the experimental group and the other half in the control group. The experimental group learnt kinematics from the Zambian High School Pure Physics Syllabus using the 'Physicsclassroom' computer software and traditional learning methods for six weeks. At the same time the control group learnt the same work with the same teacher but using traditional learning methods only. The groups were pre-tested and post-tested using the same test. The scores obtained by the participants in the tests were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. This also applied to the data collected from the attitude questionnaire. The data from other sources were analysed by qualitative means. All statistical tests were evaluated at the p < 0.05 level of confidence. The results revealed a significantly higher performance of 10.5 % in the post-tests for the experimental group than the control group. All the pupils interviewed agreed that the 'Physicsclassroom' computer software be used for kinematics and other topics in high school physics at Munali. From the results it was concluded that the 'Physicsclassroom' computer software can enhance the performance of pupils in kinematics in high school physics at Munali Boys High School. Furthermore, pupils showed a positive attitude towards the 'Physicsclassroom' learning approach. The following recommendations were made: (i) While the 'Physicsclassroom' learning approach enhanced pupil performance in kinematics to the extent above and showed a high degree of acceptability with the study group, it should not be used as the only learning method on this topic but as a supplement to the traditional learning methods which have been in use. (ii) Research with a larger and more representative sample should be done to verify the preliminary findings above in order to arrive at a more definite decision regarding the implementation of the 'Physicsclassroom' learning technique.
