Black/White Biracial Identity and Sense of Belonging in High School: A Grounded Theory Qualitative Study
No full textThis qualitative research aimed to understand better the identity development and sense of belonging of Biracial high school students. The study used a Charmaz (2012) constructivist grounded theory design to describe the experiences of postsecondary students who self-identified as having one Black parent and one White parent through semi-structured interviews. The study generated an emerging theory for identity development and sense of belonging in secondary educational institutions that can be used by parents, teachers, school leaders, and school policymakers as a framework to improve the high school experiences and student achievement of all multiracial students. The results of this study showed that relationships mitigated through the participant\u27s physical characteristics, especially their skin color, support the Biracial student\u27s identity development and sense of belonging. The implications emphasize the influence of relationships with parents, physical attributes, and teacher-student connections. Also highlighted is the impact on diversity of post-secondary institutions and suggests the need for future research and policy changes to promote more inclusive school environments. The findings supported several recommendations for practices and future research. Some of these recommendations for stakeholders include a) developing an inclusive curriculum, b) providing ongoing professional development on cultural competence training for educators and school staff, and c) creating an inclusive environment for schools and classrooms
Expanding Your Personal Board of Advisors with an Accountability Partner
No full textOne of the most significant benefits that NSRA retailers cherish is its network of other NSRA members. When they get together at trade shows and conferences, and in their own regional groups, they share, confide in each other, and enjoy sessions and meals together. These industry peers have incredible empathy for each other that is not typically found. They are, in essence, a personal board of advisors for each other
Universal Logic, Ethics, and Truth: Essays in Honor of John Corcoran (1937-2021)
No full textJohn Corcoran was a very well-known logician who worked on several areas of logic. He produced decisive works giving a better understanding of two major figures in the history of logic, Aristotle and Boole. Corcoran had a close association with Alfred Tarski, a prominent 20th-century logician. This collaboration manifested in Corcoran\u27s substantial introduction to Tarski\u27s seminal book, Logic, Semantics, Metamathematics (1956). Additionally, Corcoran\u27s posthumous editorial involvement in \u27What are logical notions?\u27 (1986) breathed new life into this seminal paper authored by Tarski. His scholarly pursuits extended to the intricate explication of fundamental concepts in modern logic, including variables, propositions, truth, consequences, and categoricity. Corcoran\u27s academic curiosity extended further to the intersection of ethics and logic, reflecting his contemplation of their interrelation. Beyond these theoretical contributions, Corcoran was deeply engaged in the pedagogical dimensions of logic instruction.https://fisherpub.sjf.edu/bookshelf/1089/thumbnail.jp
When Accountability Becomes Cognitive Overload: How Synchronous Online Course Policy Can Impede Learning for Body-Conscious Students
No full textIt is frequently assumed that requiring webcams on in virtual classrooms will increase performance; however, monitoring appearance may increase cognitive load. In a quasi-experiment, we measured body consciousness and randomly assigned participants to have their Zoom cameras on or off in a lecture that mimicked a synchronous virtual classroom setting. Consistent with our hypothesis, test comprehension was lower for those whose webcams were on, but only when they were higher in body consciousness. We believe our results will inform research in these areas and have implications for educators as they consider policies regarding camera use in their own virtual environments
Implementing Essential Components of Deprescribing in Post-Acute Home Health Care
No full textNearly all older patients transitioning from hospital to post-acute home health care (HHC) use 5 or more medications (polypharmacy) that include at least 1 potentially inappropriate medication (PIM).1 PIM use worsens geriatric syndromes (eg, falls) and represents a leading cause of hospitalizations.2, 3, 4 Deprescribing is the process of discontinuing and/or reducing the dosage of PIMs,5 yet no effective approach to deprescribing has been examined in HHC
