Abstract:

This research used the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the Technology Acceptance Model and general motivational models as the basis for investigating first-year, undergraduate dental students’ perceptions of two dental simulators: a virtual reality based simulator and a traditional plastic-based simulator. Until now an empirical measure of student perceptions of dental simulators has not existed. This research aimed to address this gap by firstly designing an instrument that could be used to measure dental student perceptions a simulator before empirically testing first-year, undergraduate dental

Abstract:

A conceptual model is developed which depicts individual reality as a social construction. Land management policy is conceived as a series of negotiations and resolutions emerging from competing realities. The model is applied to studies of backcountry hikers and managers from the Grand Canyon National Park and the Saguaro National Monument. Results indicate that managers invariably conceptualize the resource (i.e., the Grand Canyon and the Rincon Mountains) from a different viewpoint than many recreators. Consequently there is a tendency to adopt plans and specify regulations which are not sy

Abstract:

The modern life requires us to change the point of view on the place and role of traditional social institutions and the habitual behavior in them. Recent studies suggest that different attitudes toward sex and marriage have been found in different generations, which was unacceptable even 30 years ago. Currently, there are various points of view that marriage can be not only a classic monogamous, but also polygamous, which is divided into polyandry and polygyny.

Abstract:

Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) has been seen as a strategy to reduce poverty while maintaining and increasing the supply of ecosystem services. Vietnam is the first country in Southeast Asia to implement PES as a law for forest protection. Several studies of PES in Vietnam have been done, where the positive results tend to come from provinces with higher payments. This also seem to correlate with the level of environmental awareness and engagement among local communities.

Abstract:

Includes bibliography.<br>A number of distinct paradigms exist in the field of research into student learning in higher education. It is inevitable that new research initiatives will adopt one of these paradigms as the primary focus of the investigation. However, the relationship that exists between paradigms is not one of mutual exclusivity; rather it is synergetic in nature with developments in one informing advances in another. The perspective adopted in this thesis research is grounded in the naturalistic investigations into student learning in higher education undertaken by Noel Entwistle

Abstract:

Magister Curationis - MCur<br>Nursing unit managers from different generations of nurses are expected to manage their units effectively, in order to achieve the healthcare goals for their clients. Directing a unit can be affected by the generational differences among nursing unit managers. It has been stated that generational differences are associated with different perceptions on directing a nursing unit. However, in Namibia, no similar evidence exists to support this theory; therefore, a contextual understanding of the nursing unit managers’ perceptions was necessary to inform future measur

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I examined the lived experiences of eight first-generation Iranian immigrants (six women and two men) enrolled as full-time undergraduate students in predominantly English institutions of higher education in Montreal. Using the key principles of phenomenology and critical ethnography, and through a series of open-ended, in-depth interviews, I explored the situated meanings of education in the lives of these men and women. The findings of my study show that the participants' perceptions of higher education seemed to be greatly influenced by their cultural values and

Abstract:

The studies presented in this thesis examine the perceptions and experiences of different groups of educators working in inclusive settings in Montréal, Québec at the elementary school level. In Study 1, survey data from 600 educators (regular classroom teachers, resource teachers, non-teaching professionals and support staff) were analyzed to assess their knowledge and attitudes (challenges, stressors and success) about working with students with developmental disabilities in an inclusive school setting. Findings reveal that various groups of educators reported having limited knowledge regard

Abstract:

This paper reports on the findings from an investigation conducted in the Kingdom of Bahrain into Bahraini English language teachers' (BELTs) perceptions of their native English speaking teacher (NEST) colleagues. Samples were drawn from governmental higher education institutions from both genders. Specifically, this study investigates how BELTs' in higher education construct their knowledge as non-native English speaking teachers (NNESTs) of the concepts of native speaker (NS), NEST, non-native speaker(NNS), and NNEST in their ESL/EFL context. In addition, the study focuses on exploring the d

Abstract:

Organizational injustice has been a long feared and long dissected topic by many in the business world. However, there is no clear idea of what employees expect from their superior, nor how communication is impacted separately from behavior in times of injustice. Interviews with 21 employees were used to study the expectations employees have of their superiors and how fulfillment of those expectations impacts communication in the workplace. Interview data indicate that employees expect open communication, performance assistance and professional behavior. Interview data also indicates that empl
