1. The Wisdom of Class-Size Reduction

Author

Graue, Elizabeth, Hatch, Kelly, Rao, Kalpana, and Oen, Denise

Abstract

In this study, the authors explore the implementation of a statewide class-size reduction program in nine high-poverty schools. Through qualitative methods, they examined how schools used class-size reduction to change staffing patterns and instructional programs. Requiring changes in space allocation, class-size reduction was accomplished through attention to pupil:teacher ratio, with classes ranging from 15:1 to 30:2 team taught. Most partner classes used tag-team teaching, with one teacher leading and the other doing clerical work. Working without specific professional development to enhance teaching in smaller classes, it made sense that teachers continued to solo practice. Class-size reduction is both a programmatic and instructional reform, and as such, it requires specific professional development to promote change. (Contains 3 tables and 3 notes.)

4. Body Image Effects of Media on Adolescent Girls

Abstract

Media images are known to bring social and cultural change in our society. To create consumerism, post globalization has shaped a very unhealthy society for women. Our society encourages women to be slim and trim more than fit and strong; thinness is emphasized more over health. Media images make women feel dissatisfied and discontent with their bodies. If a woman will feel dissatisfied with her body, only then will she strive hard to get a perfect body as women are primary consumers of beauty, fashion, jewellery, clothing, food industry, and health and fitness industry. So in order to increase consumerism, media sets an unrealistic standard of “ideal body” for a woman which is a hard target to achieve. Hence, adolescent girls aspire to have bodies like that of clinically malnourished celebrities and end up developing a poor body image themselves. There has been constant emphasis of Body Image Effects of Media on Adolescent Girls in various body image literatures, yet not much research has been done on it in India and none in Gujarat. Hence, this research study investigates the impact of media in body image dissatisfaction among teenage and young adult girls in Vadodara District.
