Teacher formative assessment: the missing link in response to intervention
No full textResponse to Intervention (RtI) focuses on the assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring of student academic performance and social behavior. Despite requiring highly-qualified personnel for successful implementation, the implementation of Rtl has not focused on applying its foundational principles towards promoting teacher effectiveness through assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring of teacher classroom practice. Compounding this problem is the lack of availability of reliable and valid teacher assessments to apply in an Rtl model for teacher professional development. This chapter provides a rationale for applying RtI principles to teacher professional development and how teacher formative assessment can improve educator effectiveness, student learning, and social behaviors. The Classroom Strategies Scale (CSS, Reddy & Dudek, 2014), a new multidimensional assessment of instructional and behavioral management practices is discussed as an example of one promising tool for promoting teachers professional development within an Rtl model. We offer a synthesis of the theory, research, and evidence of reliability and validity of the CSS. The application of teacher formative assessment in job-embedded professional development/coaching models for schools is discussed. Finally, implications for practice and research are outlined.Peer reviewe
Comprehensive evaluation of candidate reference genes for real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) data normalization in nutri-cereal finger millet [Eleusine Coracana (L.)]
No full textFinger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is an annual herbaceous self-pollinating C4 cereal crop of the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Finger millet is a food security crop proven to have resilience to changing climate and scores very high in nutrition. In the current study, we have assessed sixteen candidate reference genes for their appropriateness for the normalization studies in finger millet subjected to experimental regimes and treatments. Ten candidate reference genes (GAPDH, β-TUB, CYP, EIF4α, TIP41, UBC, G6PD, S24, MACP and MDH) were cloned and six (ACT, ELF1α, PP2A, PT, S21 and TFIID) were mined from the NCBI database as well as from the literature. Expression stability ranking of the finger millet reference genes was validated using four different statistical tools i.e., geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, ΔCt and RefFinder. From the study, we endorse MACP, CYP, EIF4α to be most stable candidate reference genes in all ‘tissues’, whereas PT, TFIID, MACP ranked high across genotypes, β-TUB, CYP, ELF1α were found to be best under abiotic stresses and ‘all samples set’. The study recommends using minimum of two reference genes for RT-qPCR data normalizations in finger millet. All in all, CYP, β-TUB, and EF1α, in combination were found to be best for robust normalizations under most experimental conditions. The best and the least stable genes were validated for confirmation by assessing their appropriateness for normalization studies using EcNAC1 gene. The report provides the first comprehensive list of suitable stable candidate reference genes for nutritional rich cereal finger millet that will be advantageous to gene expression studies in this crop
The Effect of Demographic and Psychological Factors on Vaccine Reluctance in COVID-19 : A systematic review
No full textBackground: Though the COVID-19 pandemic claimed millions of lives worldwide, advanced vaccine research resulted in the quick evolvement of many potential vaccines. Despite mass vaccine availability, people across the globe were revealed to be uncertain about receiving the vaccination against COVID-19.
Objectives: The current chapter, following a systematic review approach, addresses three crucial questions: (a) worldwide COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy rates, (b) demographic factors determining the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy, and (c) psychological factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy.
Method: The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42022369290). No funding was received for the current systematic review. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for published articles in peer-reviewed journals in English from December 2020 to October 2022. Records numbering 1,201 were identified, and 54 studies were finally included.
Results: Twenty demographic and 11 psychological factors were identified as significant determining factors of vaccine acceptance and hesitancy across 54 studies in the current systematic review. Most frequent factors are plotted against the number of studies they appeared in.
Discussion: Several other factors, such as symptoms of anxiety and depression, marital status, and political ideologies, were linked with vaccine acceptance and hesitancy and can be the scope of future studies as the current study was limited to discussing the most prominent factors that repeatedly appeared in five or more studies.
Conclusion: By identifying the prominent factors, the current review contributes crucially to the COVID-19-related scientific literature emphasising the requirement of addressing these factors while designing public health interventions/mass vaccination during a pandemi

An introduction to continuum mechanics / J.N. Reddy.
No full textengineering bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xxvi, 450 pages :"This best-selling textbook presents the concepts of continuum mechanics in a simple yet rigorous manner. The book introduces the invariant form as well as the component form of the basic equations and their applications to problems in elasticity, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, and offers a brief introduction to linear viscoelasticity. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students looking to gain a strong background in the basic principles common to all major engineering fields, and for those who will pursue further work in fluid dynamics, elasticity, plates and shells, viscoelasticity, plasticity, and interdisciplinary areas such as geomechanics, biomechanics, mechanobiology, and nanoscience. The book features derivations of the basic equations of mechanics in invariant (vector and tensor) form and specification of the governing equations to various coordinate systems, and numerous illustrative examples, chapter summaries, and exercise problems. This second edition includes additional explanations, examples, and problems"-

Advancing instructional coaching with teacher formative assessment and input
No full textWith increased attention to teacher quality and accountability, instructional coaching has emerged as a popular form of teacher support and professional development in literacy and other areas of instruction. Despite significant interest from school personnel, researchers, and federal funders, there remains a lack of consensus around the key components and activities of instructional coaching. To that end, studies that use quantitative and qualitative methods can offer valuable information on the development and validation of coaching practices. This chapter briefly describes the Classroom Strategies Assessment System Coaching Model that draws on the adult learning and formative assessment literature. We offer key observations of educators' knowledge of and experience in instructional coaching from focus groups conducted with teachers in high-poverty, urban elementary schools. Directions for practice and research are discussed.Peer reviewe
