Abstract:
Puerto Rican communities have been a reality in many northeastern urban centers for over a century. Schools and classrooms have felt their presence through the Puerto Rican children attending school. The education of Puerto Ricans in U.S. schools has been documented for about seventy years, but in spite of numerous commissions, research reports, and other studies, this history is largely unknown to teachers and the general public. In addition to the research literature, a growing number of fictional accounts in English are providing another fertile avenue for understanding the challenges that Puerto Ricans have faced, and continue to face, in U.S. schools. In this article, Sonia Nieto combines the research on Puerto Rican students in U.S. schools with the power of the growing body of fiction written by Puerto Ricans. In this weaving of "fact" with "fiction," Nieto hopes to provide a more comprehensive and more human portrait of Puerto Rican students. Based on her reading of the literature in both educational research and fiction, Nieto suggests four interrelated and contrasting themes that have emerged from the long history of stories told about Puerto Ricans in U.S. schools: colonialism/resistance, cultural deficit/cultural acceptance, assimilation/identity, and marginalization/belonging. Nieto's analysis of these four themes then leads her to a discussion of the issue of care as the missing ingredient in the education of Puerto Ricans in the United States.

Abstract:
AbstractBackground and Purpose. This article describes culturally defined meanings of childhood function and disability in Puerto Rico to provide a context for the interpretation of test scores from the Spanish translation of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). Subjects and Methods. More than 600 Puerto Rican teachers, parents and caregivers of children with and without disabilities, and members of the general community participated in ethnographic interviews, which were designed to describe their beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge about childhood function and disability. Results. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis confirmed that differences exist between Puerto Ricans and the norms established in the United States for the performance of functional skills by children, and the analysis also described Puerto Rican beliefs and attitudes toward disability. Discussion and Conclusion. Puerto Rican values of interdependence, añoñar (pampering or nurturing behaviors), and sobre protectiva (overprotectiveness) influence parental expectations for the capability of children with disabilities and should be considered when interpreting scores from the PEDI and establishing plans of care. Additional research is needed on the influence of contextual variables on child development and behavioral adaptations to disability.

Abstract:
Puerto Rico is an uncomfortable reminder of the democratic deficits within the world’s oldest constitutional democracy. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens who live in a U.S. territory that is subject to the plenary authority of Congress, to which they cannot elect voting members. In 2022, under unified Democratic control for the first time in a decade, Congress considered the Puerto Rico Status Act, legislation that would finally decolonize Puerto Rico. The Status Act offered Puerto Rican voters three alternatives to the colonial status quo—statehood, independence, or sovereignty in free association—and committed Congress to implementing whichever alternative won majority support from Puerto Rican voters. The Status Act sought to define how any change in status would affect Puerto Ricans’ access to U.S. citizenship. The Status Act proposed that all Puerto Ricans would retain their U.S. citizenship if Puerto Rico became independent or entered free association but included special restrictions that would limit Puerto Ricans’ ability to pass on their U.S. citizenship to children born after a change in status. While this Note appreciates the Status Act’s efforts to decolonize Puerto Rico, it argues that the Status Act erred in proposing this specialized regime for citizenship claims. Instead, it contends that the existing derivative citizenship framework would better regulate citizenship for Puerto Rican U.S. citizens born after a change in status. Although the Status Act died in the Senate, it represents a new and influential formula for decolonizing Puerto Rico. Future proponents of status reform should draw on the existing derivative citizenship law because it offers clearer provisions that can better ensure a large number of Puerto Ricans may rely on U.S. citizenship—a benefit Puerto Ricans themselves clearly value—even after a change in status.

Abstract:
Objective: Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. Short-acting bronchodilator medications are the most commonly prescribed asthma treatment worldwide, regardless of disease severity. Puerto Rican children display the high­est asthma morbidity and mortality of any US population. Alarmingly, Puerto Rican children with asthma display poor broncho­dilator drug response (BDR). Reduced BDR may explain, in part, the increased asthma morbidity and mortality observed in Puerto Rican children with asthma. Gene-environ­ment interactions may explain a portion of the heritability of BDR. We aimed to identify gene-environment interactions as­sociated with BDR in Puerto Rican children with asthma.Setting: Genetic, environmental, and psycho-social data from the Genes-environ­ments and Admixture in Latino Americans (GALA II) case-control study.Participants: Our discovery dataset con­sisted of 658 Puerto Rican children with asthma; our replication dataset consisted of 514 Mexican American children with asthma.Main Outcomes Measures: We assessed the association of pairwise interaction mod­els with BDR using ViSEN (Visualization of Statistical Epistasis Networks).Results: We identified a non-linear interac­tion between Native American genetic ancestry and air pollution significantly as­sociated with BDR in Puerto Rican children with asthma. This interaction was robust to adjustment for age and sex but was not significantly associated with BDR in our replication population.Conclusions: Decreased Native American ancestry coupled with increased air pollu­tion exposure was associated with increased BDR in Puerto Rican children with asthma. Our study acknowledges BDR’s phenotypic complexity, and emphasizes the importance of integrating social, environmental, and bi­ological data to further our understanding of complex disease.Ethn Dis. 2021;31(1):77- 88; doi:10.18865/ed.31.1.77

Abstract:
Puerto Rican fathers remain an understudied population despite the growing Latino community in the U.S. Understanding how Puerto Rican fathers perceive their roles as fathers can inform our conceptualization of their engagement with children as well as the development of culturally-specific parenting interventions. In this qualitative study, focus groups were conducted with Puerto Rican men to identify their perceptions of their role as a father and how individual, child, and cultural influences may relate to these roles. Parenting roles identified by fathers in the study were: being there, maintaining open communication, building confidence, preparing for adulthood, teaching culture/values, and providing a role model for their children. The study also explored father and child characteristics, history with their own father, and a hybrid cultural perspective as influences on Puerto Rican fathers’ perceptions of their parenting roles. Due to the increasing population of Puerto Rican and other Latino sub-groups, providers and social workers working with Puerto Rican families should understanding the perceived parenting roles within families to better engage and support fathers and families within this growing population.

Abstract:
This research tests the independent contribution of social capital and the use of the internet to obtain health information to support maternal-child communication about peer pressure to have sex among Puerto Rican families. A sample of 413 Puerto Rican households in Springfield, MA provides the data to independently test these hypotheses. The results of a logistic regression model suggest that Puerto Rican mothers with increased social capital and who accessed the internet for health information are more likely to communicate with their adolescent children about peer pressure to have sex. The combination of these two mechanisms provide opportunities to convey culturally generated resources to Puerto Rican mothers to assist them in helping their children develop healthy sexual behaviors.

Abstract:
Abstract Hispanic children in the United States are disproportionately affected by obesity. The role of acculturation in obesity is unclear. This study examined the relation between child obesity, dietary intake, and maternal acculturation in Hispanic children. We hypothesized that children of more acculturated mothers would consume more unhealthy foods and would have higher body mass index (BMI) percentiles. A total of 209 Hispanic mothers of children aged 2–4 y (50% female, 35.3 ± 8.7 mo, BMI percentile: 73.1 ± 27.8, 30% obese, 19% overweight) were recruited for an obesity prevention/reversal study. The associations between baseline maternal acculturation [Brief Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II (Brief ARSMA-II)], child BMI percentile, and child diet were examined. Factor analysis of the Brief ARSMA-II in Puerto Rican mothers resulted in 2 new factors, which were named the Hispanic Orientation Score (4 items, loadings: 0.64–0.81) and U.S. Mainland Orientation Score (6 items, loadings: −0.61–0.92). In the total sample, children who consumed more noncore foods were more likely to be overweight or obese (P < 0.01). Additionally, children of mothers with greater acculturation to the United States consumed more noncore foods (P < 0.0001) and had higher BMI percentiles (P < 0.04). However, mothers with greater Hispanic acculturation served fewer noncore foods (P < 0.0001). In the Puerto Rican subgroup of mothers, Puerto Rican mothers with greater acculturation to the United States served more noncore foods (P < 0.0001), but there was no association between acculturation and child BMI percentile in this subgroup. These mothers, however, served fewer sugar-sweetened beverages (P < 0.01) compared with non-Puerto Rican mothers, and this may have negated the effect of noncore food consumption on BMI percentile. These data suggest a complex relation between acculturation, noncore food consumption, and child BMI percentile in Puerto Rican and non-Puerto Rican Hispanic children.

Abstract:
Due to a surge in racism and anti-immigrant sentiment that intensified during Trump’s campaign and presidency, some Americans have reacted to people speaking Spanish in public with hostility as well as verbal and even physical aggression over the last few years in the United States. A particular group of victims of language and identity discrimination has been Puerto Ricans, who are, ironically, American citizens. Drawing on historical perspectives, language and identity attitudes, the politicization of language, and linguistic racism approaches, the present study administered a language and identity questionnaire to 103 Puerto Ricans in Detroit, Michigan (DetroitRicans). Despite the rise of linguistic racism in the United States, 90.3% of respondents said that being able to speak Spanish was necessary to validate their Puertoricanness. In addition, 89% of this study’s participants agreed that not teaching Spanish to children was denying them their Puerto Rican culture and identity. DetroitRicans also identified Spanish as their mother tongue, their roots, and their homeland, whereas they identified English as the language of work, school, and economic advancement. The findings agree with the language and identity perceptions of Puerto Ricans living on the Island and in Central Florida; they diverge from the traditional perspectives of Boricuas in New York, North Philadelphia, and Chicago, who do not generally consider Spanish a vital part of their Puerto Rican identity.

Abstract:
The relationships among anxiety, depression, parenting stress, social support, and teaching behaviors were studied in a group of 101 low-income Dominican and Puerto Rican mothers with children in Head Start The two groups of mothers showed high levels of depression, anxiety, and parenting stress but did not differ significantly from each other. Puerto Rican mothers reported more social support than did Dominican mothers. Surprisingly, neither anxiety nor depression was significantly associated with social support Both groups used more directive, modeling, and visual cues than other behaviors in their teaching. Dominican mothers used more modeling than Puerto Rican mothers, who used more praise and inquiry. Anxious and depressed mothers also used more negative feedback, directives, and modeling. Those with high parenting stress used less inquiry and praise and more modeling. These findings inform clinical and educational interventions with parents and children.

Abstract:
Intimate partner violence [IPV] is a preventable and costly societal issue that has reached epidemic proportions. Women are often the victims of IPV, and millions of children are exposed to it annually. The purpose of this study was to explore experiences of Puerto Rican mothers and their perceptions of how IPV exposure may have impacted their children using resilience theory. Data were collected via audiotaped individual interviews with 9 Puerto Rican mothers who endured an array of escalating IPV, often exacerbated by the perpetrators use of alcohol or drugs, and had IPV-exposed children aged 6 -11 years. Data analysis integrated content and thematic procedures. Interview data was transcribed, read, audited and coded based on compelling statements, quotes, and sentences made by the participants. The coded clusters were further evaluated, reduced to significant statements, then grouped into themes that captured the essence of the participants lived experiences and of the group. The mothers separated because they feared for their lives and the effect of IPV on the children. Once separated the mothers felt isolated, lived in shelters which were unconducive to childrearing, and had challenges navigating the system. They perceived their IPV-exposed children exhibited a multitude of behaviors including PTSD but that most were showing signs of resilience. Their IPV was perpetrated by males who were mostly the biological fathers of their children who used controlling behaviors towards the kids. The potential positive social change impact of this study is to empower Puerto Rican mothers to disclose IPV and to better inform health care providers regarding the impact of IPV on children aged 6 -11 years in an effort to increase the health, well-being, and resiliency of this vulnerable population.

Abstract:

Children of Hispanic origin have the highest prevalence of asthma of all ethnic groups in the United States, especially Puerto Rican children, who have a prevalence of 12.9%. Treatment nonadherence has been identified as one contributing factor. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the reasons for nonadherence to the asthma treatment regimen among Puerto Rican children. Parents and health care providers of asthmatic children were interviewed regarding their beliefs about asthma as a disease, its effect on the child’s life, and their experience with asthma treatment. Two models served as the theoretical framework: the health belief model and the Institute of Medicine model framework for asthma disparities. Interview data were collected from 8 parents using a questionnaire, and a focus group was conducted with 3 health care professionals. Data were manually coded to identify emerging themes. Even though parents reported fear of asthma medications and medication side effects, none of the parents stopped the asthma treatment. Results also indicated that lack of education about asthma, asthma treatment, and asthma action plan was evident in 75% of the parents. None of the parents who migrated to the United States from Puerto Rico received education about asthma while living in Puerto Rico. Health care professionals reported that although parents are familiar with asthma, they do not understand that it is a chronic disease that requires daily treatment. Findings may be used to create an asthma education plan tailored to the needs of the Hispanic population.

Abstract:
The use of subtractive bilingual models in Puerto Rico may influence children's construction of social categorizations. There is a gap in the literature related to linguistics, ethnicity, and systems of education and acculturation of a majority group. The purpose of this multiple case study was to examine the influence of the language of instruction and teachers' communicative practices in private and public schools on first graders' ethnic identity construction in the municipality of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The conceptual framework of the study was based on Markus's unified theory of race and ethnicity, Berry's bidimensional model of acculturation, Tajfel and Turner's social identity theory, and Wimmer's ethnic boundaries multilevel process theory. The research questions concerned how teachers' communicative practices reflected and promoted children's construction of social categorizations, what roles teachers played in ethnic education, and the influences that shaped their cultural knowledge. Purposeful sampling was used to select 2 Spanish speaking and 2 English speaking classrooms form the municipality that could provide information to answer the research questions. Data were collected from classroom observations, structured interviews with teachers, analysis of classroom artifacts, and the use of Zea, Asner-Self, Birman, and Buki's Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale. Data were coded and then categorized by theme. The findings of the study demonstrated that teachers' hybridized ethnicity is reflected in communicative practices that influenced children's construction of social categorizations. This study could serve to develop strong cultural awareness policies for education systems and for other countries at risk of losing their language and traditions.

Objectius: (1) Analitzar si la calidesa dels pares (CP) s'associa amb trastorns psiquiàtrics específics (ansietat, trastorn depressiu major (TDM), TDAH i trastorn de comportament disruptiu (TCD) (Estudi 1)) i consum d'alcohol, us de substàncies (US) sense alcohol, i qualsevol US (Estudi 2) en els nens de Puerto Rico. (2) Analitzar la influència de l'estructura familiar i les transicions en els trastorns psiquiàtrics infantils en aquesta població (Estudi 3). Mètodes: Els nens de Puerto Rico 5-13 anys d'edat en F1 que vivien al South Bronx (SB) i Puerto Rico (PR) (n=2.491), van ser seguits durant tres anys consecutius. Participants: L'estudi 1 utilitza tota la mostra (n=2.491); l'estudi 2 inclou únicament la població de 10 anys d'edat o més a F1 (n=1.085); l'estudi 3 inclou només els participants amb dades de les tres fases (n=2.142). Mesures: Els trastorns psiquiàtrics juvenils (TCD, ADHD, ansietat, TDM, trastorns interioritzats i exterioritzats i US) varen ser mesurats amb L'Entrevista Diagnòstica per a Nens-IV (DISC-IV). Anàlisi: Estudi 1 i 2: models lineals generalitzats mixtes van provar l'associació entre CP i trastorns psiquiàtrics, US i consum d'alcohol en els següents dos anys. Estudi 3: Anàlisi de regressió logística es van dur a terme en oder per examinar els factors que poden explicar com l'estructura familiar i les transicions poden estar relacionats amb trastorns psiquiàtrics infantils. Resultats: CP estava relacionat amb probabilitats més baixes de l'ansietat infantil, TDM, TDAH i TCD, US no alcohòliques i qualsevol US. No hi va haver diferències significatives entre els fills de pares (biològics o pas) que cohabiten o de pares solters en comparació amb els nens els pares biològics casats respecte a presencia de trastorns interioritzats i exterioritzats. En PR únicament, la transició d'una família de dos pares a una família amb un sol pare estava relacionat amb trastorns de interioritzats dels nens.
Objetivos: (1) Analizar si la calidez parental (CP) está asociado con trastornos psiquiátricos (Ansiedad, trastorno depresivo mayor (TDM), TDAH y trastorno del comportamiento disruptivo (TCD), (Estudio 1)), uso de alcohol, uso de sustancias (US) no alcohólicas y cualquier US (Estudio 2) en niños Puertorriqueños. (2) Examinar la influencia de la estructura familiar y las transiciones en los trastornos psiquiátricos infantiles en esta población (Estudio 3). Métodos: Se siguieron durante tres años consecutivos niños puertorriqueños de 5-13 años en la F1 residentes en el South Bronx (SB) y Puerto Rico (PR) (n=2.491). Participantes: El estudio 1 utilizó la muestra completa (n=2.491); En el estudio 2 sólo se incluyeron los jóvenes de 10 años o mayores (F1) (n=1.085); Y el estudio 3 sólo participantes con datos en las tres fases (n=2,142). Medidas: Se utilizó la Entrevista Diagnóstica para Niños-IV (DISC-IV) para evaluar los trastornos psiquiátricos infantiles (TCD, ADHD, ansiedad, TDM, trastornos de internalización, trastornos de externalización y US). Análisis: Estudio 1 y 2: Modelos lineales generalizados analizaron la asociación entre CP (F1) y trastornos psiquiátricos, US y consumo de alcohol en los próximos dos años ajustando por características demográficas y procesos familiares. Estudio 3: Análisis de regresión logística para examinar los factores que pueden explicar cómo la estructura familiar y las transiciones pueden estar relacionadas con trastornos psiquiátricos infantiles. Resultados: CP está asociado con menor probabilidad de sufrir ansiedad, TDM, ADHD y TCD (Estudio 1), US no alcohólicas y cualquier US (Estudio 2) a lo largo del tiempo. (Estudio 3). Tanto los trastornos interiorizados como los de exteriorizados no presentaron diferencias significativas entre los hijos de padres (biológicos o no biológicos) en cohabitación o de padres solteros en comparación con los hijos de padres biológicos casados. Sólo en PR, una transición (de familia de dos padres a familia monoparental) estaba asociado con los trastornos de internalización del niño.
Objectives: (1) To address whether parental warmth (PW) is associated with specific psychiatric disorders (anxiety, major depressive disorder (MDD), ADHD, and disruptive behavior disorder (DBD) (Study 1)) and youth alcohol use, non-alcohol substance use (SU), and any SU (Study 2) in Puerto Rican children and its changes over time. (2) To examine the influence of family structure and transitions on child psychiatric disorders in this population (Study 3). Methods: Puerto Rican children 5-13 years of age at W1 living in the South Bronx (SB) and Puerto Rico (PR) (n=2,491), were followed for three consecutive years. Participants: Study 1 used the entire sample (n=2,491); study 2 only included youth who were 10 years old or older at W1 (n=1,085); and study 3 only participants with data in the three waves (n=2,142). Measures: The Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-IV (DISC-IV) measured youth psychiatric disorders (DBD, ADHD, anxiety, MDD, internalizing disorders, externalizing disorders and SU). Analyses: Study 1 and 2: Generalized Linear Mixed models tested the association between PW (W1) and psychiatric disorders, SU and alcohol use in the next two years adjusting for demographic characteristics and family processes. Study 3: Logistic regression analyses to examine factors that may explain how family structure and transitions may be related to child psychiatric disorders. Results: Higher levels of PW were related to lower odds of child anxiety, MDD, ADHD and DBD (Study 1), using non-alcoholic substances and any SU (Study 2) over time. (Study 3) Both internalizing and externalizing disorders there were no significant differences between children of cohabiting (biological or step) parents or of single parents compared to children of married biological parents. In PR only, transitioning once from a two-parent family to a single-parent family was related to child internalizing disorders.

Abstract:

Although researchers have focused a vast amount of research on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with diverse groups, few have addressed specific ethnic groups such as Puerto Ricans. This study explored the concerns of Puerto Rican mothers of children diagnosed with ADHD. This research addressed how factors such as acculturation and cultural beliefs within Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Model impacted the process that Puerto Rican mother experienced while obtaining treatment for their children diagnosed with ADHD. Utilizing a qualitative research method and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model, the narratives of ten mothers of Puerto Rican descent with children between the ages of 7–11 were questioned. The questions consisted of semi-structured interviews to assess how culture and acculturation within an ecological system impacted the process of obtaining mental health services by Puerto Rican mother's children for their children diagnosed with ADHD.

The results yielded eight themes that were embedded within Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System's theory that emphasized the importance of how Puerto Rican culture and acculturation level impacted the process of obtaining services. The mothers narratives exposed the barriers and the fears they faced as Puerto Rican mothers with children diagnosed with ADHD within the Unites States. Recommendation supported the need to address the barriers and fears that Puerto Rican mothers faced as they sought treatment for their children diagnosed with ADHD. Future research suggest further exploration of this research to empower this population and enhance the process to obtain treatment.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States, affecting the quality of life of at least 20 million Americans. Almost half of the affected (approximately 9.5 million) are children under the age of 18. While Hispanics overall (5.4%) had lower asthma prevalence compared to non-Hispanics (7.4%), those of Puerto Rican descent (14.5%) have a higher burden of asthma than those of Mexican descent (3.9%). AIM: The purpose of this study was to use data collected from a cohort of Puerto Rican infants born in New York City to examine associations between indoor pesticides use and wheeze and asthma in the first two years of life. The data were collected in a prospective birth cohort of Puerto Rican children born to mothers with a history of allergy or asthma. METHODS: Data analysis was conducted using SAS. Descriptive statistics were calculated and reported as percentages. Bivariate statistics were carried out to test independent associations. Logistic regression models for asthma and wheeze at each time point and generalized estimating equation (GEE) models (for wheeze at the end of the study period) were then created with adjustment of potential confounders. RESULTS: After controlling for confounders, no forms of pesticides were associated with wheeze using logistic regression and GEE. However, use of rodenticides at baseline yielded a hazardous relationship with asthma at two years of age (OR = 3.64, 95% CI = 1.26 - 10.52). DISCUSSION: The strong association with exposure to rodenticides at baseline reveals the importance of early life exposures, specifically those that occur prenatally or perinatally. Because rodenticide exposures have not been specifically identified as a possible risk factor in previous scientific literature, it is difficult to ascertain the mechanism behind exposure and asthma onset. Findings from this study and previous studies indicate that more research is needed to further elucidate the role of pesticides and physiological processes, specifically lung and immune system development, in children, especially those in highly allergenic environments.

Abstract:
This study examines the racial discourses of six and seven year old Puerto Rican children participating in small group literature circles over one academic year. The main research question is "How do Puerto Rican young children in a multiage classroom construct race through dialogue within the figured worlds of literature circles?"This study is based on teacher research qualitative research design, using methods and techniques from ethnography and case study research. This study describes the dialogue of 20 Puerto Rican children, during 4 literature circles. These were chosen as case studies to examine in depth student's racial ideological explorations. Data gathering methods included field notes from participant observation, audiotapes, videotapes, and transcripts.A detailed description and analysis of children's responses to literature, this study documents how young Puerto Rican children's ambiguity and inconsistent usages and meanings of racial terminologies to signify their worlds. Through emerging ideological discourses such as colorblindness and esentializing discourses, young children explore discomfort instead of neutral, inclusive and unifying racial constructions, along with racial harmony that celebrates goodwill and benevolence. Literature circles as figured worlds informed by Rosenblatt's reader-response theory and Holland, Lachicotte, Skinner and Cain (2003) social practice theory of identity, are proposed to be a space were racial identities form and reform, facilitating variable forms of racial talk.The findings of this research illustrate the importance of teacher research as one form of qualitative research to illustrate the complexity of children's racial talk aimed toward educational racial understandings and change. The importance of racial discourses in young children's racial explorations to signify their worlds.

Abstract:
For school age children on the island of Puerto Rico, the back-to-back hurricane strikes of Irma and Maria were their first experience with the tragedy of hurricanes in Puerto Rico. There is much concern in the general public about the ability of the Puerto Rican forests, like El Yunque, to recover. These concerns reveal common misconceptions about the dynamics of forest ecosystems. The focus of this research is Journey to El Yunque, a middle school curriculum unit that engages students in evidence-based modeling of hurricane disturbance using long-term data about population dynamics after Hurricane Hugo. Research was guided by the following research question: How does engagement in the science of disturbance ecology impact students’ understanding of and appreciation for ecosystems dynamics? Students completed pre and post assessment understanding of ecosystems dynamics and rated the teacher implementation using the Inquiry-Based Science Teaching survey. Based on a paired t-test, students statistically increased their performance from pretest to posttest with an effect size of 0.22. At the teacher level, the Inquiry-Based Instruction score was a statistically significant predictor of the posttest performance. In other words, these results provide evidence that engaging students in the practices of ecology predicted increased understanding of population dynamics.
