▼ Esse estudo teve como objetivos: 1. Investigar os resultados da aprendizagem dos alunos, decorrente de uma experi?ncia de avalia??o, usando como recurso facilitador o quadro de escrever. 2. Utilizar procedimentos que possibilitem a participa??o do aluno nas atividades avaliativas desenvolvidas no quadro de escrever. Foi desenvolvida em uma turma do 1? ano do Ensino M?dio, em escola p?blica federal do estado do Par?. Os resultados indicam que o uso do quadro de escrever de forma interativa, facilita a aprendizagem dos alunos quando considerados aspectos did?tico-pedag?gicos inerentes ?s tend?ncias em Educa??o Matem?tica , tais como a avalia??o diagn?stica, a intera??o social, o contrato did?tico, o erro e os obst?culos epistemol?gicos. Por fim, conclui-se que o quadro de escrever deve ser ressiginificado na pr?tica pedag?gica do professor de matem?tica.
This study the following goals: 1. To investigate the students learning results from an evaluation experience, using the blackboard as a way of making it easier. 2. To use procedures that make the student participation in evaluation activities on the blackboard possible. It was developed in a high school-first-year group from a federal public school of Par?. The results indicate that the blackboard use in an interaction way makes the students learning easier when pedagogydidactic aspects that do not depend on the tendencies in Mathematics Education, such as the diagnosis evaluation, social interaction, didactic contract, error / mistake and the epistemology obstacles are considered. Finally, we conclude that the blackboard must have its meaning established again for the mathematics teacher pedagogy practice.

The Resurgence of Cold War Imagery in Western Popular Culture.

▼ 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.

Leninist Concepts of Social Responsibility and Truth as Philosophical Foundations for Dissidence.

▼ 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.

▼ Louis John Witte is a man whose name is lost to time and whose work is overshadowed by flashier modern-day computerized advancements in movie wizardry. Nevertheless, he remains a cornerstone upon which a thriving scientific discipline has been built. Although he and his creations existed well before the advent of computer technology, he is credited with inventing devices that advanced the art of faking realism by replacing state-of-the-art crude facsimiles and dangerous replications with safer, hyper-realistic models. Witte's inventions erased the boundary separating audiences from the bona fide. His contribution to the science of entertainment coincided with the historic period 1896-1946, in which "movies were the most popular and influential medium of culture in the United States" (Sklar 3). Not only did Witte give his valuable civilian expertise to his country, but he also was a veteran of WWI, when during a "long lonely and dangerous mission," he was wounded (Leavell Appendix II). "Sergeant Louis J. Witte," a telegram written to his mother reads, "was wound [sic] in the Meuse-Argonne operation, on the night of Oct. 2nd., 1918, by an air bomb, and was evacuated to the hospital" (Leavell Appendix II). Witte's service and injury earned him the Purple Heart commendation for his involvement in that battle.

▼ This thesis explores the life stories of four Chinese and Taiwanese immigrants in Tallahassee by collecting detailed narratives. There are three aspects that this thesis focused on: 1) motivations for emigration from their home countries to the United States and changes in their socioeconomic status afterwards; 2) cultural, political, and religious shifts of identity after immigration; and 3) the religious conversion of three of them and the roles that the Chinese Church plays in their daily lives. Narrative analysis of an ethnographic method used with this study. The findings of this project suggest that there were various factors motivating my participants to immigrate to the U.S. and all of them have experienced upward mobility. However, they have also encountered structural social inequalities that cannot be solved by individual actors. In terms of the shifts in their identities, the narratives collected from the participants show that there is a complex relation between their cultural identities and citizenship. Further, Christianity and the Chinese Church also play important roles in three of the participants’ lives, which offer them a different perspective discussing their identities. Overall, this thesis has filled a gap in the academic literature; no scholars have previously explored this immigrant group in Tallahassee. additionally, I provided information for future anthropological studies that relate to diasporic immigrants’ lives in the U.S.

▼ 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.

▼ This thesis discusses Derrida's theory of Hauntology, establishes a theoretical framework for an analysis of the hauntological aesthetic in recorded music, and explores the hauntological aesthetic in reference to Victorian spirit photography and contemporary recorded music of producer-musicians such as Greg Ashley, Jason Quever, Tim Presley, and Ariel Pink. By describing and analyzing the recorded music of said producer-musicians, this thesis reveals how aesthetically hauntological recorded music expresses American anxieties concerning the effects of changing technologies and cultural transitions. In effect, this thesis shows how American ideologies operate as "ghosts," and how one can better interpret and understand these core values by combining aesthetics and history through the medium of recorded music.

▼ 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.

Unearthing the Tubers and Shoots of Thought, Talk, and Praxis: A Historiography of Classroom Discourse in Theory and Practice.

▼ This dissertation submits as its project a history of dialogue in the classroom, from early recitation practices to the era of the teacher as a “sage on the stage,” the subsequent role of a participating observer or “guide on the side,” and more refined teacher roles as well as sharper definitions of discussion and dialogical practices (King, 1993, p. 30). For this research, I adopted a conceptual methodology, using Foucault’s critique and Deleuze and Guattari’s assemblages and rhizomic structures, to inform the mapping and dynamic of the historiography. In terms of practical methodology, I collected over 650 theoretical, empirical, and instructional works related to forms of classroom discourse. By mapping the territory of research on discourse in the English classroom, this work noted trends in the method, manner, and focus of research. Several critical shifts might be suggested regarding theory, research, and practice in relation to dialogue: in practice, first, a shift from quantitative, monological positions to more dialogical, polyphonic stances; and second, from research examining teacher questioning and evaluation to that focused on student responsiveness. In theory and research, this review suggested several noticeable trends in research methods: first, that classroom practice lags behind the theoretical imagining of the dialogical; second, that scholars have increasingly relied on Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories in the pedagogical frames of their research on discourse in the classroom; and third, that scholarship has shown a greater interest in international sites of study. Overall, although scholars have made strides in conceptualizing the dialogical classroom, greater interventionist studies and instructional works are needed to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

▼ 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.

▼ Enduring misconceptions exist regarding the value of learning history. Many history teachers are engaged in lecture- and recitation-based forms of instruction that seem to be at odds with the goal of helping students to develop skills and dispositions important for democratic citizenship. This study asked whether history teachers’ most ubiquitous core teaching practice, the explanation of historical content, had the potential to support civic ends. The study analyzed transcriptions of 43 classroom observations and interviews of ten U.S. history teachers. Findings pointed to five forms of historical explanation that have the potential to make explanation meaningful for preparing students for democratic citizenship. Findings also revealed factors that influenced teachers to make decisions to explain historical content in particular ways. The study has implications for improving teacher education and professional development with the goal of helping history teachers to make explanation meaningful and contributory toward their students’ preparation for democratic citizenship.

▼ 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.

▼ Combinatorics is a growing topic in mathematics with widespread applications in a variety of fields. Because of this, it has become increasingly prominent in both K-12 and undergraduate curricula. There is a clear need in mathematics education for studies that address cognitive and pedagogical issues surrounding combinatorics, particularly related to students' conceptions of combinatorial ideas. In this
study, I describe my investigation of students' thinking as it relates to counting problems. I interviewed a number of post-secondary students as they solved a variety of combinatorial tasks, and through the analysis of this data I defined and elaborated a construct that I call set-oriented thinking. I describe and categorize ways in which students used set-oriented thinking in their counting, and I put forth a model for relationships between the formulas/expressions, the counting processes, and the sets of outcomes that are involved in students' counting activity.

Trajectories of change in written arguments: how students' scientific written arguments change throughout a school year.

▼ 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.

▼ Evaluation of
teaching is used to examine and improve
teaching quality in higher education. The literature consists of best
teaching evaluation practices that have been developed, yet there is little research that has been conducted which investigates
teaching evaluation practices in engineering programs. This thesis represents two manuscripts that explore the current
teaching evaluation practices that are used in engineering programs at three institutions using exploratory sequential mixed-method design. The data were collected by interviewing and surveying thirty-four educators including course instructors, department heads, and program coordinators. The results showed that there are six approaches to evaluate
teaching currently used in engineering programs. These approaches are utilized either for formative or summative evaluations to determine an educators’ effectiveness. Participant’s perspectives were also examined to identify
teaching evaluation practices that were found to be useful to educators. A major finding of this
study is that current
teaching evaluation practices in engineering programs do not align with evidence-based
teaching practices despite a substantial interest in improving
teaching evaluation practices. It is important for educators to identify and adopt best
teaching evaluation practices that have been shown to enhance
teaching effectiveness and student learning.

▼ The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of using advanced science high school students to teach science to elementary students. High school students were given a life science topic and worked in groups to develop a lesson that covered key concepts. High school students worked in groups of two to three to develop the lessons and teach the elementary students. Both, the high school and elementary students were given pre and post tests to determine if and how much content knowledge was gained during the experience. Both groups also received pre and post interest surveys to determine if the students' perception of science changed during this experience. Results showed that elementary students were actively engaged in the learning and showed an increase of content knowledge of the lessons that were presented by the high school students. Also, the high school students gained a deeper understanding of the concepts they were
teaching. Upon completion of the outreach project, both the elementary teacher, and students involved were excited about the science outreach and ready to participate in more outreach experiences.

▼ International Mathematics
Teaching Assistants (MTAs) and U.S. domestic MTAs are an indispensable part of mathematics departments regarding
teaching a substantial portion of undergraduate students. Because MTAs' beliefs are significant to their pedagogical methods, this
study examines the contrast between international and U.S. domestic MTAs' beliefs and
teaching practices. This research aims to answer the following questions: 1) What are the differences in beliefs and
teaching practices between international and U.S. domestic MTAs? and 2) How are MTAs' different
teaching practices shaped by their beliefs? The goals of this
study are to help understand international and U.S. domestic MTAs' different approaches to education. The results indicate significant differences between the two groups centered on how they taught students to understand definitions and problems and how they motivated students to learn mathematics. The findings also describe MTAs' beliefs in relationship with their
teaching practices.

▼ This mixed-methods study investigated the teachers’ perceptions of a yearlong Japanese Lesson Study professional development project on improving their teaching of Disciplinary Literacy. Analysis of the middle school teachers’ reflections, surveys, and interview data suggested that Lesson Study provided specific traits, such as unique strategies to collaborate, constant focus on student learning behaviors, specific ways to plan and observe how lesson plans are taught, and repetitive cycles, that differentiate it from other forms of Action Research. Through the thus defined features of Lesson Study as a very special form of Action Research, the data supports Study’ potential of becoming a sustainable, continual, context-based form of professional development for teachers while leading to local and/or statewide policy changes.

▼ 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;…

▼ In a liberalised economy the monetary authority traditionally relies on four instruments with which to control money supply, namely, open market operations, legal minimum reserve requirement changes, discount rat© policy and moral suasion. In this study the effectiveness of
traditional instruments of monetary policy during the foreign exchange auction system in Zambia was examined. The policy instruments were each in turn scrutinized under the following headings = (a) theoretical underpinnings;(b)
limitations and;(c) performance during the auction period
from which policy directions and conclusions were drawn.
Open market operations" effectiveness to restrain money supply was severely compromised largely due to government's
desire to maintain the huge budget deficit in real terms in the face of the fast depreciating local currency on the
weekly auction. The variable minimum reserve requirements was drastically effective and efficient in its own right,
but its impact was small due to the piecemeal nature of reserve ratio adjustments. The discount rate policy proved
illusive as the economy displayed a semblance of the Gibson's Paradox - the parallel movement of the price level
with interest rates. Finally, the potency of moral suasion was greatly curtailed by incongruous intra-national and
international politics of the day coupled with the lackadaisical attitude of the monetary authority

▼ 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.
