Exploring Precursor Variables Related to Help-Seeking in Online Learning Environments
No full textStudents face numerous challenges in the online courses. The isolation that occurs in this environment impacts students’ ability to seek help. This study sought to determine the relationship between precursor variables and help-seeking in an online dual enrollment course. Relationships between the precursor variables of self-efficacy for learning and performance, goal setting, intrinsic motivation, and task value and help-seeking were statistically significant. Faculty are encouraged to be proactive with students to develop help-seeking skills. Researchers are encouraged to analyze the relationship between student interaction in online and helpseeking

A Weary Land: Slavery on the Ground in Arkansas
No full textIn the first book-length study of Arkansas slavery in more than sixty years, A Weary Land offers a glimpse of enslaved life on the South’s western margins, focusing on the intersections of land use and agriculture within the daily life and work of bonded Black Arkansans. As they cleared trees, cultivated crops, and tended livestock on the southern frontier, Arkansas’s enslaved farmers connected culture and nature, creating their own meanings of space, place, and freedom.Kelly Houston Jones analyzes how the arrival of enslaved men and women as an imprisoned workforce changed the meaning of Arkansas’s acreage, while their labor transformed its landscape. They made the most of their surroundingsdespite the brutality and increasing labor demands of the “second slavery”―the increasingly harsh phase of American chattel bondage fueled by cotton cultivation in the Old Southwest. Jones contends that enslaved Arkansans were able to repurpose their experiences with agricultural labor, rural life, and the natural world to craft a sense of freedom rooted in the ability to own land, the power to control their own movement, and the right to use the landscape as they saw fit.https://orc.library.atu.edu/atu_faculty_books/1056/thumbnail.jp
Mental Health and the Potential Effect on Student Achievement in Ninth Grade Students in Arkansas
Get PDFIn the State of Arkansas students, grades three through ten, take the ACT Aspire in order to provide a measure of student academic achievement to school districts and the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. These scores are also used to determine school grades that are released each year and may determine student placement in remediation programs. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the relationship, if any, between student achievement and mental health in ninth grade students in the State of Arkansas. The findings reveal that students who receive mental health services score at a lower level on the ACT Aspire ELA and Math Exams
Mindfulness Sessions For The Prevention of Compassion Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Nurses
Get PDFOver the last several years, compassion fatigue (CF) has been considered one of the main reasons that nurses choose to leave the bedside and the profession. While many healthcare organizations recognize the problems that are associated with CF, only a few have worked towards preventing it. An intervention that has shown promise of aiding nurses with CF is mindfulness. The purpose of this quantitative pretest-posttest design was to focus on the effects of the Koru® Mindfulness program with CF and resilience in pediatric oncology nurses. Data collected from the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) v.5 and the Brief Resilience Scale distributed to a convenience sample of pediatric oncology nurses that belonged to a closed Facebook® group. Informed consent obtained on all participants prior to enrollment into the Koru® course. All 9 of the 11 pediatric oncology nurses completed both the pre and post surveys. Results showed statistically significant improvements in CF, specifically burnout and secondary trauma, for pediatric oncology nurses. Results showed improvements in resilience and compassion satisfaction, but not statistically significant. These findings support the use of the Koru® mindfulness sessions for pediatric oncology nurses for compassion fatigue

Optimal Policy Response to Food Fraud
No full textWe analyze the optimal government response to food adulteration and mislabeling while accounting for heterogeneity in consumer preferences and producer efficiency, endogeneity in producer quality choices, and asymmetries in food fraud detection. When more-efficient producers commit fraud, the optimal policy response is a strict monitoring and enforcement system. For less-efficient producers, both increased certification costs and monitoring and enforcement can deter food fraud. When the government desires to increase average product quality, the optimal policy is strict monitoring and enforcement. Increasing monitoring and enforcement in the presence of corruption provides increased incentives for collusion between dishonest producers and corrupt policy enforcers
Principals\u27 Perceptions of Manifestation Determination Implementation and Disciplining Secondary Students with Disabilities
Get PDFStudents with disabilities are often disciplined differently than their peers in school. This qualitative study focused on eight secondary administrators in the Fort Smith Public School district and their perceptions of manifestation determinations and their understanding of the laws of special education. Participants were interviewed face-toface via an online platform, and results were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Glasser’s Choice Theory guided the research and through the study the results indicated administrators gain insights to a SWD motivation for the behavior before assigning an intervention, punishment, or discipline procedure (Achilles et al., 2007; Glasser, 1998; Louis, 2009; Rose, 1988; Zirkel, 2010). The results of this study indicated that secondary administrators within the school district had differential understanding of the laws of special education, would benefit from better training, and the district needed more uniformity on how manifestations are handled
