Abstract:

<p> For decades, researchers have investigated strengths and challenges promoting early healthy childhood development, in terms of physical, social emotional and linguistic aspects, for a variety of children groups in the United States. Due to the limited availability of research on the Latino population, addressing the needs of the growing population of Latino children throughout the United States is challenging. Latino students living in the United States are academically behind students of other ethnicities. In 2011, Latinos were identified as the largest and fastest growing minority gro

Abstract:

The motivation for this thesis arose from personal dissatisfaction with the way I was tutoring in-service courses on biotechnology for teachers. Biotechnology is a area of science and technology which raises many controversial issues and I felt unable to discuss in a meaningful way such issues. I therefore began to research into the inclusion of value issues in science and technology education. The literature indicated that values are fundamental in decision-making and that values are a consequence of the beliefs, constructs or frameworks of meaning people hold.

In this curriculum the focus is on attitudes, skills and values which replaced a content based approach with a process-based approach.

In recent decades theories of late modernity place the criminal justice system in a time of change and perceive amongst the general population growing levels of insecurity and intolerance of crime and offenders. Along with government policy and practice, these developments are seen as contributing to an increasingly punitive system that imprisons more than ever before and seeks to punish and manage offenders in the community, rather than to attempt their rehabilitation. For these reasons, along with a loss of faith in rehabilitation, the probation service is described by many as becoming a law

Le contrôle exécutif de l'action fait référence a la capacité de l'homme a contrôler et adapter son comportement de manière flexible, en lien avec ses états mentaux internes. Il repose sur l’évaluation des conséquences des actions pour ajuster les choix futurs. Les actions peuvent être renforcées ou dévalues en fonction de la valeur affective des conséquences, impliquant notamment les ganglions de la base et le cortex préfrontal médian. En outre, les conséquences des actions portent une information, qui permet d'ajuster le comportement en relation avec des croyances internes, impliquant le cor

Objectives: To compare pharmacy students’ value beliefs across residency training, fellowship training, and graduate education with research and non-research emphases using expectancy-value theory as a framework. Method: First through fourth professional year (P1-P4) students (N=263) completed the 26-item Postgraduate Training Value Instrument (PTVI) for four postgraduate training paths. Items were responded to using a 5-point Likert scale. Intrinsic, attainment, utility, financial value and perceived cost scores were calculated for each training path. Using SAS 9.0, ANOVA procedures were empl

Abstract:

Culture has been recognized to play an important role in the formation of parental beliefs, but the question still remains of whether beliefs are maintained or revised over time, and how. The present study examined how proximal influences impacted parental beliefs in an immigrant sample of parents, the thesis being that distal influences have more to do with the formation of parental beliefs while proximal influences have more to do with maintaining or revising them. Effects of the proximal influences of education, occupation status, information networks, and parental agreement about childre

Abstract:

<p> This qualitative research study examined how junior-level undergraduate students clarify their values in the environment of a leadership course. Previous research indicated the concept of values clarification is a dynamic process in which people come to understand what they individually view as important in their lives by placing a name or label to what one values (i.e., honesty, love, success, etc.). This process commonly occurs during the traditional college years and is a critical component of the undergraduate experience. A college student clarifying their values is an important first
