2. Mindset, Self-Efficacy, and First Year College Students: Perceptions of Performance Accomplishments

Author

Moore, Jeanette E.

Abstract

College-bound students move from various high school environments to a collegiate setting; this transition requires acclimation. There is increased interest in the understanding of college student adjustment to decrease student attrition, thus adjustment to college has been studied in different contexts, including social and academic. The construct of self-efficacy, or students' judgments of their capabilities to organize courses of action to perform tasks, attributes to college adjustment. Another construct, mindset, defined as a person's self-perception or "self- theory" effects learning, skill acquisition, success, and other aspects of life. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the use of mindset language in the college classroom, on student's perceptions of self-efficacy and mindset. For one fall semester, this study required treatment participants to participate in classes where mindset language was delivered by professors. Terms were derived from the Growth Mindset Framing and Feedback tools, and treatment professors received training to deliver the language in the subsequent 15-week semester. The treatment group completed eight Self-Assessment Prompts on Performance Accomplishments and Mindset (SAPPAM). The researcher also measured first-year students' self-efficacy and mindset using two qualitative instruments to explain perceptions of collegiate abilities (i.e., exam preparation and time management). Focused interviews and fidelity of treatment observations were conducted; the mixed-methods convergent parallel design was used to understand students' perceptions. A MANOVA was used to examine academic, social, and social integration self-efficacy of students who participated in classes infused with mindset language and those who were not in these classes. In addition, an ANOVA was used to understand differences in mindset for each group. Quantitatively, there were no significant differences for either procedure, though the data collected from student responses provided information pertaining to the college experience.

Abstract

Byline: Avick G. Mitra, Sherry L. Laurent, Jeanette E. Moore, George F. Blanchard, Nancy C. Chescheir Keywords: Doppler auscultation; fetal heart rate; first trimester Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to determine whether transvaginal Doppler auscultation is more sensitive than transabdominal auscultation for the detection of fetal heart rate in the first trimester of pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective study 141 patients between 6 weeks and 11 weeks 6 days of gestation underwent both transvaginal and transabdominal Doppler evaluation by use of continuous-wave Doppler instruments for detection of fetal heart rate. Transvaginal ultrasonography was used as the gold standard to establish fetal cardiac activity and to help assign gestational age. The two methods of auscultation were compared for accuracy in different gestational age ranges. Sensitivities and specificities were calculated, and associations were investigated with I.sup.2 analysis. The direction of disagreement between modalities was tested with the McNemar I.sup.2 test. RESULTS: Transvaginal auscultation outperformed transabdominal auscultation in every gestational age range. Transvaginal Doppler auscultation performed significantly better than transabdominal Doppler auscultation at 8 weeks to 8 weeks 6 days (p [less than or equal to] 0.004) and 9 weeks to 9 weeks 6 days (p [less than or equal to] 0.006). In pregnancies with cardiac activity, fetal heart rate can be successfully detected transvaginally in 60.5% of pregnancies at 8 weeks to 8 weeks 6 days and in 87.5% of pregnancies at 9 weeks to 9 weeks 6 days of gestation. This compares with successful transabdominal detection rates of 22.9% and 56% at 8 and 9 weeks, respectively. As gestational age advances both methods became increasingly sensitive for the detection of fetal heart rate. The earliest fetal heart rate detected transvaginally was at 6 weeks 0 days of gestation compared with 7 weeks 0 days transabdominally. The transvaginal Doppler method was also more successful in detecting the fetal heart rate in women with a retroverted uterus (p [less than or equal to] 0.01). CONCLUSION: By use of continuous-wave Doppler instrumentation, transvaginal auscultation is significantly better than transabdominal auscultation in detecting fetal heart rate between 8 weeks to 8 weeks 6 days and 9 weeks to 9 weeks 6 days of gestation. Use of transvaginal auscultation has potential in the evaluation of first-trimester fetal cardiac activity. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1996;175:41-4.)

Abstract

This book is in the shape of a square. Or is it a rectangle? The pages are 2-dimensional. Or are the pages 3-dimensional? Geometry is all around us! In Explore Shapes and Angles! With 25 Great Projects, readers ages 7 to 10 will have fun identifying the shapes and angles in their world. They'll also learn how these shapes and angles are used in different situations and in different jobs, such as construction, engineering, and art. A kid's world is made of shapes and angles—by encouraging readers to become savvy at identifying and using the different shapes, this book serves as the perfect introduction to geometry and a way to build a strong foundation in math skills that will serve them well as they are exposed to increasingly more complicated concepts. Hands-on, design-minded projects, such as designing a tree house, offer opportunities to discover how engineers and designers use shapes and angles to create strong structures. Readers are encouraged to use blocks, bodies, and yoga to mimic geometric shapes and find combinations so strong they'll even hold up heavy weights. Links to online resources, fun facts, cartoon illustrations, and compelling content drive this introduction to basic geometry that will help children begin to establish a spatial relationship with real-world math and make it fun!

Abstract

Evidence links longevity to dietary restriction (DR). A decrease in body temperature (Tb) is thought to contribute to enhanced longevity because lower Tb reduces oxidative metabolism and oxidative stress. It is as yet unclear how DR decreases Tb. Here, we test the hypothesis that prolonged DR decreases Tb by sensitizing adenosine A1 receptors (A1AR) and adenosine-induced cooling. Sprague–Dawley rats were dietary restricted using an every-other-day feeding protocol. Rats were fed every other day for 27 days and then administered the A1AR agonist, N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA; 0.5 mg/kg, i.p.). Respiratory rate (RR) and subcutaneous Tb measured using IPTT-300 transponders were monitored every day and after drug administration. DR animals displayed lower RR on day 20 and lower Tb on day 22 compared to animals fed ad libitum and displayed a larger response to CHA. In all cases, RR declined before Tb. Contrary to previous reports, a higher dose of CHA (5 mg/kg, i.p.) was lethal in both dietary groups. We next tested the hypothesis that sensitization to the effects of CHA was due to increased surface expression of A1AR within the hypothalamus. We report that the abundance of A1AR in the membrane fraction increases in hypothalamus, but not cortex of DR rats. These results suggest that every-other-day feeding lowers Tb via sensitization of thermoregulatory effects of endogenous adenosine by increasing surface expression of A1AR. Evidence that diet can modulate purinergic signaling has implications for the treatment of stroke, brain injury, epilepsy, and aging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

34. An Interpretation of the Theme of Snopesism in the Work of William Faulkner

Author

Moore, Jeanette Fenley

Subjects
William Faulkner, Snopes, Yoknapatawpha chronicle, literature
Abstract

Ever since the publication of the novel Sartoria, members of a strange new breed of people by the name of Snopes have appeared in every Faulkner novel and short story which constitutes a part of what is called the Yoknapatawpha chronicle. Heretofore, it has been popular to support the thesis that the Snopeses represented the embodiment of crass commercialism, the inevitable replacement for the dying cotton aristocracy, and the direct retribution for the sins that had caused the downfall of these degenerate Southern gentry. This thesis will attempt to show, not that such a contention is wholly wrong, but that the real meaning of Snopesism lies much deeper than this, far beyond such a simple interpretation.
