Hackensack Public Schools, NJ.
- Abstract
This Grade 11 teaching guide contains two curriculums which focus on 10 team physics projects and five thematic units in English. The 10 group physics projects are derived from the application of three laboratory units on the properties of matter, mechanics, and electricity. The outlined English curriculum ranges from such specifically pragmatic topics as work preparation and physics to more broadly applicable units on television, economics, and prejudice, stressing relevance to the needs and interests of vocational students. The extensive economics unit deals with consumer credit and buying used cars. The unit on prejudice outlines the causes and effects of social discrimination, provides literary illustrations with suggested projects and a bibliography, and discusses prejudice in mass media. Multimedia resources and ideas for the guide include project lists, discussion questions, visual aids, and student reading materials. Procedures for implementing goals include use of student worksheets for each physics lesson, a student evaluation sheet, term definitions, and detailed daily lesson plans in outline form. Developed by a group of educators from Hackensack High School, New Jersey, this is the third volume in a comprehensive 3-year interdisciplinary program in industrial preparation for vocational students. Others are available as VT 015 227-VT 015 231 in this issue. (AG)

Hackensack Public Schools, NJ.
- Abstract
This 12th Grade teaching guide presents four units in industrial preparation for vocational students which serve as a general and specific vocational basis either for immediate post-secondary employment or for further formal technical education. The five diverse English curriculum units range from vocational preparation and chemistry topics to discussions of leisure time activities, the film, and current war and peace issues. A social studies unit deals primarily with the sociological impact of urbanization and the civic responsibilities of industry. An occupational relations unit provides sample case studies designed to increase self-understanding in interpersonal vocational relationships, and a laboratory unit of industrially-oriented chemistry topics is designed to develop nine specific laboratory skills. Developed as part of a 3-year comprehensive interdisciplinary program by a group of educators from Hackensack High School, New Jersey, the guide employs a wide variety of "real-life" approaches, such as role-playing, to insure student interest. General and specific program goals and rationales and teaching suggestions precede the student reading materials, multimedia resource materials, project lists, and bibliographies. This volume is planned for use with four others, available as VT 015 227-VT 015 230 in this issue. (AG)

Lincoln County Schools, Hamlin, WV. and Holstein, Herbert B.
- Abstract
The occupational resource unit, one of a series encompassing grade levels 1-10, was prepared by the Lincoln County (West Virginia) Exemplary Project staff to provide career exploration learning activities for the seventh and eighth grades. The career orientation materials are designed to give students a broad knowledge of the characteristics and functions, as well as the duties and rewards, of specific occupations within a broad spectrum of occupational families and to assist the student in understanding himself. The guide contains a synopsis of the entire unit, general objectives, behavioral objectives, teaching strategies, evaluation techniques, guidelines for correlating subject matter, and suggestions for field trips. Instructional materials include an occupational questionnaire, personality profile, and an outline of interview techniques. An extended resource bibliography stresses interpersonal competence and occupational information. Organized around a random selection of occupations within 15 occupational clusters, student involvement and participation is encouraged through suggestions for the use of simulated work experiences. Occupations within each cluster are categorized according to the following levels: professional, semiprofessional and managerial, technical and skilled, semiskilled, and unskilled. (MW)

- Author
-
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Education Research and Development Center. and Ryan, T. A.
- Abstract
The document provides a model for planning and evaluating adult basic education (ABE) programs in correctional settings and is also a workbook for its implementation. It requires the use and understanding of systems techniques and concepts. The introduction discusses the rationale for and development of the conceptual model; basic systems, concepts, and principles; and directions for the model's use. The following seven chapters present major functions that must be incorporated into an ABE delivery system. Chapter 1 concerns the conceptualization of the correctional system, describing the real life environment, with ABE programs as an integral part of the system. Chapters 2 through 5, and 7 combine to provide a very detailed model for a management system: establishing a philosophy and assessing needs; defining systems goals, subgoals, and objectives; formulating a plan to implement major goals; and evaluating delivery systems and programs. Chapter 6 constitutes a model for an instructional delivery system. For each element a definition of concept, relation of element or function to the total model and directions to the user are presented. Appended material includes: a 27-page bibliography; a 21-item annotated list of bibliographies of ABE materials; a glossary; names of contributors to the model, resource personnel and advisory committee members; and author and subject indexes.

16. Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations in Brazilian Physical Education: Reflections on Schooling and Silencing
- Author
-
Keylla Silveira and Wilson Alviano
- Abstract
This study's objective is to present some reflections on Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations (ERER, acronym in Portuguese) and its link with Physical Education in Brazil, considering that Brazilian Physical Education has been greatly influenced by curriculum from both Europe and the United States during most of the twentieth century. To this end, we have used bibliographic research as a tool. Physical Education, as a curricular component of Brazilian basic education, was linked to the interests of medical and military institutions that defined its space and area of knowledge for a prolonged period. In this context, its actions envisioned forming and maintaining disciplined, strong and healthy bodies, created on precepts like, for example, eugenics. In this type of intervention, Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous manifestations became invisible and were marginalized and oppressed in favor of reproducing Eurocentric models of corporal expression. In light of this, we argue in support of a Physical Education curriculum based on knowledge originating in the different cultural matrixes of the peoples making up Brazil's populace, above all those who historically have been silenced and who have played a role in shaping our identity.

17. The Montessori Bibliography Online: A Resource for the Global Montessori Community
- Author
-
Parham, Joel
- Abstract
The Montessori Bibliography Online (MBO) makes information about Montessori education and the Montessori movement more accessible through an online interface that includes links to digitized source materials. Historically, Montessori bibliographies and indexes have been published in physical form and include references to other sources, but a direct link is absent. This database builds on previously compiled indexes to consolidate citations into a comprehensive repository with an intuitive user interface and a robust search capability. Additionally, the MBO provides hyperlinks to digitized source material. Although this type of tool is not unprecedented in the larger research and educational landscape, it is novel within the domain of Montessori education. This methodological essay discusses the steps I took to compile and develop the MBO. Beginning with a review of the literature and legal matters, the discussion describes the methods and processes employed. It concludes by outlining future directions for the MBO. The MBO is accessible at https://montessoribib.ku.edu.

Silva, Tony
- Abstract
Via an account of the genesis, development, and enactment of a seminar in translingual writing, this paper represents an attempt to indicate the extensive amount and interdisciplinary nature of the knowledge that one needs to be familiar with in order to develop a rich and nuanced understanding of the phenomenon as well as to provide a resource for faculty interested in developing such a course or for faculty or graduate students to use for self-study in this area. Specifically, the paper (1) addresses the motivation for the development of the course and provides a description of the course and its context; (2) identifies and briefly describes required and additional readings--classified by their disciplinary orientations (specifically, literary studies, dialectology/black English vernacular, applied linguistics, rhetoric and composition, and translanguaging); (3) offers an extensive set of questions for discussion based on the readings and on issues frequently raised in class--including terminology, language, difference, disciplinarity, instruction, and consequences of adopting a translingual approach to writing; and (4) provides an extensive bibliography of work in the area of translingual writing.

20. International vs National Academic Bibliographies. A Comparative Analysis of Publication and Citation Patterns in Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Hungarian Scientific Bibliography
- Author

Gergo Háló and Márton Demeter
- Abstract
Following academic globalization, successful integration into the international research community is a fundamental interest for all participating countries. The success of these internationalization processes, however, are often under scrutiny, and the results are rarely unequivocal. This holds true for Central and Eastern Europe, which usually is described as a semiperipheral region of global knowledge production. Analyzing the publication and citation indices of 365 Hungarian social scientists in one national (Hungarian Scientific Bibliography) and two global (Scopus, Google Scholar) databases, we explicate the current international impact of Hungarian academic research while exploring pivotal factors behind the major differences between databases. Our results indicate that Hungarian scholars lag behind their peers in neighboring countries, necessitating effective policy measures. To this end, the analysis recommends the use of standardized global publication databases instead of national datasets, while still acknowledging the shortcomings of the latter in research assessment protocols.

Moreira, Cintia Mariza do Amaral, Dantas Motta, Ana Carolina de Gouvea, Vianello, Juliano Melquiades, Gonçalves, Rosilene de Athayde, and de Paula, Carla Queiroz
- Abstract
The Professional Master's in Work Management for the Quality of the Built Environment, MPGTQAC has existed at the Universidade Santa Úrsula, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, since the beginning of 2015. The body is one of the substantive elements of the course. It emerges as an elective discipline. The purpose of this communication is to refine the understanding of the central ideas of the discipline 'Body, culture and environment' of the master, combined with the situation of COVID 19. A complementary bibliography of the discipline was presented, and some works were described and commented on. We took Howard Becker's book "Mundos da Arte" Becker [1] as a theoretical reference in the pedagogical field, to move forward with the idea of collaborative pedagogical work. By confronting theory with pedagogical practice, we achieved two dynamics applied in the first half of 2020, during Pandemic COVID 19. The first, 'Domestic ethnography before and after COVID 19'. COVID 19's impact on the home and student world was considered. Scenes in the residential environment of each student made it possible to visualize the accommodation of the houses, to the circumstances of the daily domestic and working lives of each student, during the Pandemic, with a strong impact on everyone's body scheme; the second, 'Body and affection in Pandemic, from Paul Klee', allowed students to express their questions and express the feelings and reflections arising from a world altered by the effect of the pandemic. Many of these issues are linked to one's body scheme. As a result of the proposed dynamics, the class reacted with hope of overcoming. In a balance between the restrictive situations of the Pandemic, which often led to the feeling of sadness, fear and malaise, and, prospective situations, after the Pandemic, the group envisioned the possibility of advancing and overcoming a localized period of impossibility circulation and contact. Faced with current limits and future possibilities, the group showed a positive expectation for the future. The reflection based on the study of dynamics carried out during the course 'Body, culture and environment' allows us to think about the possibility of replicating playful referrals similar to those described here, for the next times that the discipline is taught.

- Abstract
"Lift Every Voice and Sing," sometimes referred to as the Black National Anthem, has been sung everywhere from protests to concert halls in the United States for well over a century. The song's origins, however, come directly from the mind of educator James Weldon Johnson and the needs of his school community. This article recounts the origins of the song with writer Johnson and his musician brother J. Rosamond Johnson, its widespread popularity, and the Library of Congress collection items related to the hymn. The author also includes a short bibliography of children's books and full-length books related to the topic.

Bardakci, Salih, Soylu, Meryem Yilmaz, Akkoyunlu, Buket, and Deryakulu, Deniz
- Abstract
Research trends studies have emerged in education technologies (ET) to determine research manner and changes. Although the precedent examples dated back to the 1950s, trend studies within ET have gradually been increasing since the 1970s. This study aimed to examine the ET publications and research trends in a 5-year time period from 2014 to 2018. With a bibliographic mapping tool, namely VOSviewer, three research questions were addressed relating to collaborations, concepts, and citations in educational technology studies. The data set was extracted from ISI Web of Science databases and included 1690 articles published in six educational technology journals between 2014 and 2018. We used co-authorship analysis to determine the collaborating researchers' institutions and their geographical locations (countries) when they published the articles. A co-occurrence analysis was used to investigate concepts. Finally, a co-citation analysis was employed to determine the most cited papers and journals. Co-authorship analyses revealed that the number of articles published by researchers affiliated with institutions in the USA was the highest in the data set. According to co-occurrence analysis, online learning, especially in open learning environments, was the most studied concept. Moreover, co-citation analysis showed that the most frequently cited articles were published in Computers & Education. Additional findings, discussion, and limitations of the study were explained in the full text.

Duman, Ekrem Ziya and Aslan, Gamze
- Abstract
Textbooks have attained an essential position with the student-centered approach. Accordingly, curricula are developed based largely on constructivist approach. Since textbooks are prepared in accordance with the curriculum, they are therefore constructivist approach-oriented. As a result, textbooks are the reflection of the curriculum. The mistakes in textbooks can directly affect learning in a negative manner. Additionally, the visuals, reading texts, preparation and evaluation questions in textbooks should be on a par with the outcomes in the curriculum in regard to level and structure. In this study, three of the textbooks written in accordance with the 2009 logic course curriculum were examined in terms of physical features, distribution by units, their congruence to the curriculum, language and expression, scientific content, print-typesettingorthography, reading texts, preparation and evaluation questions, and bibliography. From this aspect, this study is qualitative. Document review method was adopted in this study. It was discovered that the evaluation questions in the textbooks framed to measure the outcomes were under the outcome levels. To exemplify, the questions taxonomically at the evaluation level were found to be corresponding to the knowledge and comprehension levels, it was further explored that most errors were detected in the elements of print-typesetting-orthography.

Snow, Karen
- Abstract
This paper explores four main areas that will likely have an impact upon the future of information organization education. In particular, information organization education must be prepared for the continued shift from the use of traditional library cataloging standards to more web-compliant, linked-data standards. Also, there will be more emphasis on the ethical impact of information organization work and the achievement of behavioral competencies of students interested in information organization. Finally, the paper addresses the need for educators to improve their teaching ability in order to more effectively impart the importance of information organization to all library and information science students.

27. Present and Future Benefits for Adult Inmate Trainees in Greek Prisons

Papaioannou, Vasiliki and Anagnou, Evaggelos
- Abstract
Correctional education aims at challenging the illiteracy, which often leads to delinquency and recidivism. In Greece, little interest had been shown regarding the education of adult inmates, but with the establishment of Second Chance Schools (SCS) inside prisons, a more systematic and integrated effort was made for the overall development of trainees. Many studies have been conducted regarding the work that SCS provides. For this reason, a systematic review of the relevant bibliography and a compilation of the findings of the studies realized between 2006-2018, regarding the benefits of inmates participating in the educational programs, was considered appropriate. The results demonstrate that there are benefits at the personal, educational, and social levels during confinement. After release, the expected benefits are analogous, with the addition of the expectations of the trainees' expectations for social reintegration and professional rehabilitation.

28. Cybernetics and Precursors of Promoting Critical Thinking--A Way to Change the School
- Author

Surubaru, Teodora and Isoc, Dorin
- Abstract
The requirement to assure the teaching of critical thinking put the school in front of its own weaknesses. A profound criticism highlights limitations, hindrances and obstacles that are difficult to pass without the personal efforts of the teachers. Following criticism, one can identify a set of requirements that would allow for improvement and upgrading. This set of requirements builds the specification of a cybernetic system developed to help the training process promoting the critical thinking. The new cybernetic system diminishes the role of the teacher as coordinator in approaching the field of interest, inclusively the building of the recommended bibliographic list and interventions in crises. The main stages of the training sessions coordinated by the cybernetic system aim at a) building a set of problems by the students; b) the classification of all proposed problems according to their opportunity established by the voting group; c) solving the proposed problems by the students; d) evaluating, by vote, all the solutions offered for the proposed problems. Using the formulated specification and the established operating algorithm the operating scheme of the cybernetic system is being built. The proposed scheme is intended to monitor and manage the training process. The results interpretation highlights the absolute novelty of such a system and analyzes how it satisfies the original specification. One observes the generality of the concept, the way it meets the requirement of promoting critical thinking, the fact that the promotion is made gradually and continuously.

Wurr, Adrian J.
- Abstract
Research on service-learning with English Language Learners has blossomed over the last two decades, but the literature is not well known outside the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). This is unfortunate in a world where issues related to globalization and immigration are common in public discourses. This literature review is intended to provide readers with a succinct overview of an area of growing importance. Using a previously published bibliography of the field, supplemented by searches of ERIC, MLA, and WorldCAT databases and Google Scholar, a meta-analysis of the literature was conducted. Results and representative reports are summarized for higher education settings, from language institutes and two-year colleges to graduate teacher education courses. The findings show service-learning leads to small but significant gains in second language teaching and learning, and has positive impacts on the communities in which English Language learners and teachers serve.

30. Double-Blind Multiple Peer Reviews to Change Students' Reading Behaviour and Help Them Develop Their Writing Skills
- Author

Rød, Jan Ketil and Nubdal, Marte
- Abstract
For a geography bachelor course about climate change, we replaced the end-of-course exam with one term paper and three term-paper peer reviews. Our objectives were to design a learning environment where students read continuously throughout the semester, develop their writing skills, become familiar with quality criteria for academic texts, and get trained in applying these. To support students in their term-paper writing and term-paper peer reviews, we arranged two annotated-bibliography exercises as optional learning activities. A t-test demonstrated a statistically significant increase in performance for those who participated in these exercises compared to those who did not. A survey confirmed that students still doubt their own and their peer students' capability to provide authoritative reviews, but qualitative interviews supported the findings that a majority of students found the peer-review process valuable for their reading behaviours and the development of their writing skills. The improvements, however, were mostly related to form (such as structure, grammar, and how to set up a proper reference list) and less related to academic content.

It is a joint effort between the Editorial Board members of the Journal, Action Learning: Research & Practice and staff at the two universities. Subsequently, we hope to publicise further resources available elsewhere. The paper begins with a brief history. Starting with Revans, his career and the early development of the action learning idea, it also records his long association with Manchester and some recent institutional history beginning with him donating his archives to the University of Salford. This is followed by introductions to the Revans Archive at Salford University and the action learning materials held at Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS). Details of the two collections are in the latter part of the paper.

Gómez, Fco. Javier Pericacho and Galán-Casado, Diego
- Abstract
This article's purpose is to address a hitherto unexplored topic in the history of education: the story of the "Cátedras Ambulantes," officially referred to as "Misiones Pedagógicas" during the final years of the Franco dictatorship and the beginning of the transition to democracy (1966-1977). The study is based on a historical-educational methodology, triangulating through the following sources: a dedicated bibliography; all kinds of press releases, reports and official circulars issued by related agencies; the main Orders, Decrees and Laws within which they were framed by Spanish legislation at that time; and, finally, contemporary press reports. The results reveal the origin, nature and evolution of these 50 itinerant classrooms, "Cátedras-Misiones Pedagógicas," in terms of legislation, the training received by the state-registered teachers (mostly women) responsible for the classes, the difficulties that arose, and the main criticisms and issues they attracted (1966-1977).

Green, Jennifer, Hodge, Gabrielle, and Kelly, Barbara F.
- Abstract
In this article, we provide an overview of the last twenty years of research on Indigenous sign languages, deaf community sign languages, co-speech gesture, and multimodal communication in the Australian context. From a global perspective, research on sign languages and on the gestures that normally accompany speech has been used as the basis for exploring different aspects of linguistic theory. Such research informs debates about the nature of the human language capacity and questions as to whether the diverse range of languages we see in the world share some universal patterns of organisation. We outline some of the theoretical and methodological achievements of scholars working in these interconnected disciplines in Australia, highlight the value of corpus-based approaches to linguistic research, draw attention to research on multimodality in the verbal arts, and discuss community-oriented research outputs guided by collaborative research practices. The article is accompanied by an on-line and editable bibliography of well over 300 publications that is accessible to researchers and others working in these related fields.

- Abstract
In recent years, a rapid development in computer technologies has been witnessed and feasibility of data access has been increased. In today's world, restoring documents, or data in general, and transferring them to interested parties are ordinary tasks. The amount of restored documents has also increased expeditiously and this development has required new technologies to emerge for building knowledge from large data sets. Basic applications of text mining include gathering and processing text to extract information that embodies raw data. Thus, basic text mining applications can help researchers to reach valuable knowledge from a mass of documents. This study investigated academic articles published in "bilig" ("Journal of Social Sciences of the Turkic World") between 1996 and 2017 to find the frequencies of words and letters used in academic Turkish. Basic text mining of 4,850,817 words in 19437 pages from 81 "bilig" issues was completed using a natural language processing library, Zemberek and a programming language, R.

Froment, Facundo, García González, Alfonso Javier, and Bohórquez, M. Rocío
- Abstract
Social networks have drastically changed communication between people, constituting a means of everyday use by which information is created and shared in a simple, instantaneous way with the rest of the world. Although social networks were not initially created for academic purposes, they are gradually being used as a means of communication between teachers and students, making them an extremely important element in the teaching learning process by offering new possibilities for communication and interaction as well as creating new learning spaces. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of social networks as a communication tool between teachers and students through a thorough bibliographical review. To do this, a systematic review of scientific documents containing data on teacher-student communication through social networks was carried out, resulting in a total of 96 documents published between 2006 and 2016 indexed in different internationally consulted databases. From the analyzed documents were extracted the educational levels in which research on teacher student communication in social networks were carried out; the most addressed social networks in the study of teacher-student interaction through social networks; the research areas that have been developed and the main results.

National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition (NCELA), Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) (ED), Leed Management Consulting, Inc., and Synergy Enterprises, Inc.
- Abstract
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released joint guidance on January 7, 2015, reminding states, school districts, and schools of their obligations under federal law to ensure that English Learners (ELs) have equal access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to achieve their full academic potential. In this context, the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) at the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) has provided the "English Learner (EL) Tool Kit," a companion to the OCR's and DOJ's "Dear Colleague Letter" (DCL) (see ED578886). The tool kit is designed to help state and local education agencies (SEAs and LEAs) in meeting their legal obligations to ELs and in providing all ELs with the support needed to attain English language proficiency while meeting college- and career-readiness standards. The "EL Tool Kit" is intended primarily for state, district, and school administrators, as well as teachers, but may also inform other stakeholders concerned with the education of ELs. The 10 chapters of the "EL Tool Kit," originally published in serial form over a number of months, correspond to the 10 sections of the January 2015 DCL. Each chapter provides (1) explanations of the civil rights and other legal obligations to ELs; (2) checklists SEAs, LEAs, and schools can use as self-monitoring tools; (3) sample tools that may be used or adapted for use in SEAs, LEAs, and schools to aid with compliance; and (4) additional resources that may provide further relevant information and assistance.

- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present a learning activity that gamifies an argumentation exercise by combining both a bibliographic research activity and an oral argument. The exercise is organized as a competitive battle to engage and motivate students after training in bibliographic research. Students are divided into four teams of 4-7 students and are involved in a 2-round tournament starting with the semifinal round: the two winners of each semifinal meet in the final and the two losers in a playoff for third place. Each match is divided in two halves of 10 min: one to prepare their work, and the second to present it and interact with the opposite team. At the end, the two spectator teams vote for the winning team, and educators referee having the final decision. A symbolic prize (university goodies) is offered to the final winning team, and each team is graded by the educators on the basis of their two matches. The feedback received from students that participated in this exercise during the 2016-2020 period has been evaluated and corroborates the increase of motivation and teamwork through such activities. At the end, the advantages and limitations of such an activity are discussed.

39. Making Sense of Student Source Selection: Using the WHY Method to Analyze Authority in Student Research Bibliographies

Lambert, Frank, Thill, Mary, and Rosenzweig, James W.
- Abstract
In a follow-up to a pilot study published in 2019, the authors collected student research papers from English Composition II courses at three public comprehensive universities from different regions in the United States to classify and compare the sources selected by students at each institution. Working with a representative sample of 712 bibliographic references, the authors used a research-tested taxonomy called The WHY Method to classify each source by three key attributes--"W"ho wrote each source, "H"ow it was edited, and wh"Y" it was published. The results of this cross-institutional study indicate that student source selection is affected most powerfully by the variables of which institution a student attends, student age, and whether the student is a first-generation university student. Student GPA, gender, class ranking (freshman, sophomore, and so on), and ethnicity were not statistically predictive factors. This study establishes the importance of institutional context in how students construct authority and provides librarians with a tool that enables them to better understand and describe that context.

Borràs, Eulàlia
- Abstract
Generally speaking, when one writes about their research they are making a contribution to the scientific community and disseminating the results of findings in scientific articles. This means that other researchers have access to the research produced and can examine the subjects raised in greater depth to advance scientific knowledge. This paper discusses the format of papers that are strictly academic. The specific structure of the text will be determined by whether it is for a master's dissertation, a doctoral thesis, a chapter of a specialist book or an article for a scientific journal. In the case of qualitative research, it is necessary, when writing the text, to bear in mind a series of processes that will be explained in this handbook, such as: (1) the justification for the research in terms of its social and educational interest, and in theoretical terms; (2) the gathering of information or data; (3) the treatment and organization of the data; (4) the adoption of a theoretical and methodological framework; (5) data analysis; (6) the interpretation of data in an original and/or creative way, and obtaining the findings; (7) setting out a discussion on the relevance of the results; and (8) setting out the conclusions. Differences between a master's dissertation and a thesis are also described. A discussion of differences between articles in scientific journals and chapters of a book are discussed. [A Catalan version of this chapter is also included in the book. The transcription symbols used in this chapter are based on conventions developed by the GREIP group (see Moore & Llompart, this volume) and are included in the annex.

41. The Current State of Scientific Knowledge on Pre-Kindergarten Effects

Duke University, Center for Child and Family Policy and Brookings Institution
- Abstract
The question of how the U.S. will develop a citizenry with the skills necessary to meet the challenges of the 21st century has attracted the attention of legislators, scientists, and educators. Answering this question leads inevitably to its roots: how well are we preparing young children to enter kindergarten ready to learn? Educators in k-12 school systems are faced with wide disparities in skill levels of entering kindergarteners, which means that all too many children are already far behind many of their peers. Findings in developmental science point toward the importance of early-life experiences in shaping brain development and suggest that if we knew how to provide these experiences in our early education programs, we could have a lifelong impact on children's success. The quality and reliability of early experiences and environments are the building blocks of early brain architecture. Parents and trained adult caregivers who are in tune with a child provide the "serve and return" stimuli through conversation, interactive play, guided exploration, and orderly progression that serve as the raw materials of early child development. Unfortunately, in many neighborhoods, violence, lack of services, and the stresses of poverty combine to make it difficult for a family to provide optimal stimulation and stability during a child's early years. The result is that a disproportionate number of children from low income families lack optimal environments and stimulating experiences and thus enter kindergarten already behind their peers in intellectual and social-emotional development. In recent years, families across the entire income spectrum have experienced increasing stress due to such challenges as making financial ends meet, working multiple jobs, and/or raising a child as a single parent. The good news, according to numerous studies, is that children attending publicly-funded pre-kindergarten programs are better prepared for kindergarten than similar children who have not attended pre-k. While some studies have shown that the advantages persist well into elementary school, two reports have led some policymakers to question whether pre-k can provide the persistent effects that undergird an ambitious agenda for pre-kindergarten programs. Previous studies have found positive impacts on children's skills at the end of the pre-k year but not later in elementary school. These findings have caused policymakers and educators to turn to the scientific community for clarification about the likely impacts of pre-k programs and identification of those factors that might distinguish effective early learning programs. Although the early years are not the only time when a child's development can be influenced, evidence suggests that the year before kindergarten is an opportune period. In order to understand how to use the new phenomenon of pre-k to boost early learning and to provide a stronger base over time for skill acquisition, a Pre-Kindergarten Task Force of interdisciplinary scientists reviewed the evidence on the impact of state-funded pre-kindergarten programs and set out to bring science to bear on the current state of knowledge and it's implications for the path forward. The report begins with a description of the pre kindergarten landscape in America today. Another group took in all available information, reached consensus on the six major conclusions that form the basis for this report. A consensus statement summarizes the findings. Subsequent topical chapters commissioned and authored by individual scholars offer insights to assist policymakers in reaching decisions. They provide fodder for future scholarly inquiry, and are provided here. Following an overview and introduction, the following are included: (1) The Current Landscape for Public Pre-Kindergarten Programs (Ajay Chaudry and A. Rupa Datta); and (2) A Consensus Statement: Puzzling It Out. The Current State of Scientific Knowledge on Pre-Kindergarten Effects (Deborah A. Phillips, Mark W. Lipsey, Kenneth A. Dodge, Ron Haskins, Daphna Bassok, Margaret R. Burchinal, Greg J. Duncan, Mark Dynarski, Katherine A. Magnuson and Christina Weiland). "Issues and Challenges" presents: (3) Do Some Groups of Children Benefit More Than Others from Pre-Kindergarten Programs? (Helen F. Ladd); (4) Do Pre-Kindergarten Curricula Matter? (Jade Marcus Jenkins and Greg J. Duncan); (5) Characteristics of Pre-Kindergarten Programs That Drive Positive Outcomes (Dale C. Farran); (6) Universal vs. Targeted Pre-Kindergarten: Reflections for Policymakers (William Gormley); (7) The Costs and Benefits of Scaled-Up Pre-Kindergarten Programs (Lynn A. Karoly); (8) Challenges to Scaling Up Effective Pre-Kindergarten Programs (W. Steven Barnett); (9) The Promise of Preschool Education: Challenges for Policy and Governance (Ajay Chaudry); (10) Financing Early Childhood Programs (Ron Haskins); (11) Reframing Early Childhood Education: A Means to Public Understanding and Support (Craig T. Ramey and Sharon Landesman Ramey); and (12) Bibliography of Studies on the Effects of State- and District-Funded Pre-Kindergarten Programs for the Consensus Statement. A list of contributors is also provided. (Additional funding for this report was provided by SAS Institute.)

- Abstract
This study aims to map the Asian literature on emotions in learning, teaching, and leadership through a review of published research in Web of Science Core Collection. In all, 862 articles published between 1990 and 2018 were retrieved and analyzed. Bibliographic coupling of the countries, bibliographic coupling of the authors, co-occurrences of author keywords, bibliographic coupling of the journals, and bibliographic coupling of the institutions were extracted through bibliographic visualization methods. All the h-classics publications were also reviewed and categorized according to their topics. People's Republic of China (Hong Kong), Israel, Turkey, and Cyprus are the countries with most relevant evidence. The top authors are found to be D.W Chan and M. Zembylas, while emotional intelligence, empathy, burnout, emotion, and self-efficacy have been the most frequently studied concepts. "Teaching and Teacher Education" and "Journal of Educational Psychology" are the journals with prominent pertinent influence. Education University of Hong Kong, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev are the institutions with the most notable influence. The current situation and research trends are discussed in the article.

Scalfani, Vincent F., Dahlbach, Barbara J., and Robertson, Jacob
- Abstract
Chemical substances from theses are not widely accessible as searchable machine-readable formats. In this article, we describe our workflow for extracting, registering, and sharing chemical substances from the University of Alabama theses to enhance discovery. In total, 73 theses were selected for the project, resulting in about 3,000 substances registered using the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier and deposited in PubChem as either structure-data files or Simplified Molecular-Input Line-Entry System notations. In addition to substances being deposited in PubChem, an archive copy was also deposited in the University of Alabama Institutional Repository. The PubChem records for the substance depositions include the full bibliographic reference and link to the thesis full text or thesis metadata when the full text is not yet available. Excluding mixtures, we found that 40% of the shared substances were new to PubChem at the time of deposition. We conclude this article with a detailed discussion about our experiences, challenges, and recommendations for librarians and curators engaged in sharing chemical substance data from theses and similar documents.

Cualheta, Luciana Padovez and Abbad, Gardenia da Silva
- Abstract
Purpose: This paper aimed to describe and analyze the contents and methodologies of entrepreneurship education in undergraduate courses in higher education institutions in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach: The teaching plans of 113 undergraduate entrepreneurship courses were surveyed and reviewed. Data were subjected to descriptive and content analyses. Findings: Courses are offered by public and private universities in Brazil in 56 undergraduate programs in several fields. Lectures are among the main teaching methodologies employed, being mentioned in 98% of the teaching plans analyzed. There is a broad use of active methodologies. About 75% of the contents covered in the courses refer to declarative knowledge of basic concepts and theories and enterprises creation and management skills. The survey showed that 50% of the teaching plans addressed content related to business modeling, and only 18% of these mentioned the use of business model canvas. In addition, contents such as prototyping, minimum viable product, design thinking and pitch are mentioned in less than 20% of the teaching plans analyzed. Originality/value: The article contributes to the advancement of the entrepreneurship education theory as it presents a new way to classify the contents of entrepreneurship courses, in light of educational theories, using learning taxonomies. It identifies the main contents, resources, methodologies, evaluation methods and bibliographies used in undergraduate entrepreneurship courses in Brazil. Moreover, it is the very first article that analyzes this number of teaching plans in Brazil with these categories of analysis. In practical terms, the article contributes to improve the entrepreneurship courses offered.

Szabo, Susan and Golden, Freida
- Abstract
Children's background experiences not only make them unique individuals, but also impact their interactions with texts because of their varied schema. Teachers who work with children should keep in mind Gregory Smith's (2002) five thematic patterns (cultural studies, nature studies, real world problem solving, internship and entrepreneurial opportunities, and induction into the community process) and use children's literature to engage children in place-conscious education. The purpose of this article is to provide a list of children's books that we believe can be used to develop each of the thematic patterns in order to allow children to develop a sense of place as it relates to where they live as well as to the larger world (Gruenewald, 2003; Smith, 2002; Smith & Sobel, 2010).

Roselli, Nestor D.
- Abstract
Collaborative learning is a construct that identifies a current strong field, both in face-to-face and virtual education. Firstly, three converging theoretical sources are analyzed: socio-cognitive conflict theory, intersubjectivity theory and distributed cognition theory. Secondly, a model of strategies that can be implemented by teachers to develop socio-cognitive collaboration is presented. This model integrates and systematizes several academic group animation techniques developed within the collaborative learning field. These integrated techniques, within a coherent and unified didactic intention, allow talking more about strategies than independent and dissociated techniques. Each strategy is specifically described, which refers to six areas: encouragement of dialogue, listening to others and reciprocal assessment; collaboration for negotiation and consensus building; activity organization; study and appropriation of bibliographic information; conceptual development; collective writing. These strategies proposed (designed to stimulate the collaboration between 2, 4 and exceptionally, 6 or 8 students) are not the only possible strategies, they can be combined with the ones the teacher might suggest. The strict pattern of each strategy is a characteristic of the proposal. The teacher is also encouraged to benchmark the results obtained using each strategy and those obtained using individual or non-collaborative strategies. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for the implementation of these strategies are discussed.

- Abstract
First developed to support courses in humanities research methods, bibliographical teaching collections are now experiencing renewed purpose as part of information literacy pedagogy. The items comprising these assembled collections provide a wealth of historical features, which make them ideal for innovative hands-on instruction. However, since such materials are not considered rare or unique, they require no commitment to long-term preservation. This article describes how information professionals can efficiently develop and effectively deploy a bibliographical teaching collection to promote information literacy among a diverse array of learning populations.
