1. The Impact of Modeling Instruction within the Inverted Curriculum on Student Achievement in Science

Author

Dye, Jennifer, Cheatham, Tom, Rowell, Ginger Holmes, Barlow, Angela T., and Carlton, Robert

Abstract

Achievement in science is a national concern, and graduating students who are college and career ready is a national imperative. In this study, we examine student achievement on the ACT science test as a high school transitioned from teaching biology, chemistry and physics with a teacher-centric pedagogy (the traditional instructional context) to the inverted curriculum (teaching physics, chemistry, then biology) to using the modeling instruction pedagogy (student-centric, inquiry-based) within the inverted curriculum. Data for students graduating over an eight-year period under these three instructional contexts were analyzed to determine if there were potential relationships between student achievement and the instructional context. This is an in situ study of the results of making an intentional change in the instructional context used to teach science. On average, ACT science scores and the percentage of students graduating college ready were higher for students learning in the two non-traditional instructional contexts.

9. Food Security & Large-Scale Land Acquisitions: The Cases of Tanzania and Ethiopia

Abstract

Food security is often misunderstood: overlooked in security studies and essentialized as a biological and nutritional issue, or as simply supply not matching demand. Yet, food security rests on underlying social and political questions of power, entitlement, distribution, and access within the food system and land tenure. This dissertation seeks to unearth these underlying social and political questions by examining how external large-scale land acquisitions affect food security and land tenure in the developing African state. This dissertation argues that external large-scale land acquisitions have a primarily negative impact on both food security and land tenure. Findings from the cases of Tanzania and Ethiopia show that large-scale land acquisitions maintain a system of social, political, and economic entitlements that foster uneven structures that result in low levels of food security and access to land.
