Abstract:

University departments that offer graduate programs require feedback to assess the quality of the education they offer. Feedback on the quality of education is provided in the form of program evaluation. In the general approach to program evaluation, outsiders, i.e., people who are not parts of a program, do the evaluation. This descriptive study starts out with the belief that the best feedback in program evaluation can only come from insiders, i.e., faculty, students, and alumni, who are parts of a particular program. In order to capture the perspectives of insiders on the quality related ch

Abstract:

A school district on a Native American reservation in the southwestern region of the U.S. decided to implement the Teacher Advancement Program (TAP) to improve teacher instructional effectiveness and student academic achievement. Although researchers have documented successes of the TAP in high-poverty urban school districts across the U.S., little is known regarding the TAP implementation in remote Native American cultural context schools. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the collaborative process of the TAP implementation changed the teachers' instructional practices. Using Vy

Abstract:

Comparative research on the treatment of animal materials in Chinese elementary language textbooks and American elementary reading textbooks provides an interesting perspective on both Chinese and American cultures. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative methods. From the study, we notice that animals in Chinese textbooks are presented as animals, i.e., creatures closer to nature without human fantasy and illusion attached to them. Animals are used to communicate to children for moral education, wisdom development and so on. By comparison, animals in American textbooks are presented

As the world becomes increasingly interdependent, mutual understanding becomes increasingly important.

While there is a significant amount of research which has examined the effectiveness of community-based programs, relatively little research has focused on the community volunteers who participate in these programs.

While African American women have been participating in American higher education for more than a century, they remain significantly underrepresented among college and university administrators.
