Self-regulation in adults and children: A collaborative approach
No full textThis paper is set within the context of my experience as an educator as well as my learning experiences as a student in the Masters of Education program at Thompson Rivers University. In my roles as classroom teacher and administrator, I have worked with students, colleagues, administrators and parents. When I was embarking on my Bachelor of Education, I was in a self-regulation cohort of student teachers. At that time, I was unaware of its relevance to students. In my first classroom assignment, I was perplexed by the range of issues I witnessed. I was teaching Grades Two and Three students whose academic abilities ranged from Kindergarten to Grade Six levels. I was also struggling with meeting their social and emotional needs. I believe that is when my journey began to learn more about self-regulation and the strategies my students needed to promote continuous success in their lives. I have increasingly become more aware of the importance of teaching self-regulation skills to children in order that they may navigate the rapidly changing world. In this paper, I claim that all staff members must be knowledgeable and competent in self-regulation acquirement in order to contribute to student development of self-regulation. All adults must understand how to manage their affect, be attuned to themselves as well as those around them, be consistent in responses, and have routines and rituals. An application is a school-wide initiative which would involve all adults and give students a solid foundation to increase their abilities in this process. The implications of teaching students how to self-regulate will contribute to students’ successes as they are better able to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.self-regulationattunementmodelefficacyCapston
Assessment of Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) Presence in the Rossland Range of Southeastern British Columbia
No full textRecreation, Fish and WildlifeCanada lynx (Lynx canadensis) are among the most endangered felines in North America. They are listed as a threatened species under the United States Endangered Species Act (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2000) and as an endangered species under the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (Stinson 2001). The Washington State population of Canada lynx is one of the last and largest remaining populations in the United States and their habitat is located primarily in the northern counties along the southern border of British Columbia (Conservation Northwest 2019). It is estimated that approximately 3,800 km2 of suitable habitat in Washington supports as few as 87 Canada lynx (Koehler et al. 2008). North of the border the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) lists the Canada lynx as not at risk, and the province of British Columbia also considers the species not at risk of extinction (BC Conservation Data Center 2020). Because of the notable difference in status between the two countries there is interest in whether individuals are moving across the border from one habitat to the other

Influence of Student Isolation on Students’ University Learning Experiences: Perspectives of Academic, Social and Psychological Development
No full textWith the latitude of globalisation spreading across countries in the world, student transfer and studying abroad have been made easier and more economical for students who intend to further their studies abroad. This growing population of international students shows the need to start addressing critical underlying issues regarding accommodation of new environment of international freshmen, plausible barriers faced by international students at their host countries and measures to minimise negative impression of intercultural communication. The growing amalgamation of local and international cultures also evinces symptoms of isolation among the local students. In light of this aim, this descriptive-analytical study investigates the correlation between student isolation and their university learning experiences, with the latter variable indexed in terms of academic, social and psychological isolation. A total of 581 students across various disciplines participated in this study. Findings provide rich, descriptive understanding of the phenomenon of student isolation, and facilitate the awareness to all stakeholders to give more leverage in the engagement and management of such issue in the educational context. Conclusively, findings have shown the importance of prioritising students’ needs from a holistic view as every aspect intertwines to enhance students’ success rate during their learning journey in university, as well as employability rate after their graduation

Investigating the effects of drama on development of ideas for writing among primary two pupils in a Singapore school
No full textThis study examines the effects of using drama to generate ideas for writing at the Primary Two level in a Singapore school. It also sets out to investigate the effects of drama on Primary Two pupils’ engagement. The premise of this study is based on the Teach Less, Learn More (TLLM) Ignite4! project that I worked on as a Research Activist in Yangzheng Primary School. Besides charting the implementation of the TLLM Ignite4! project and reporting on its findings, I will be evaluating the project and proposing directions for further research in this area.60 pupils whose Semestral Assessment One (SA1) writing scores were used to create two equivalent groups by caliper matching were selected for this study in July 2011. The project and comparison groups each comprised 30 pupils. The project group generated ideas for writing through drama activities while the comparison group engaged in picture discussions. After every writing task, pupils’ writing scripts from the Project Classes and Regular Classes were collected for analysis of pupils’ ideas and comparison of writing scores for development of ideas.This study uses the framework of action research. The results of this study show that drama has a small positive effect on pupils’ writing and a medium positive effect on pupils’ engagement level while content analysis of pupils’ writing scripts reveals that the project group produced better writing in terms of the quality of ideas and voice. The results gleaned from this study are significant in the school context as they help to justify the rationale for inclusion of drama in the school curriculum
I believe I can : investigating the effects of drama on self-concept of children in special circumstances
No full textThis academic exercise explores the relationship between drama and children's self-concept. With reference to the writings of influential child psychologists and prominent educational drama practitioners, it seeks to (1) examine the role of Drama as a 'helping' agent and (2) to articulate the mechanisms of its success, if any, on children's self-concept. To investigate the effects of drama on self-concept, the researcher designed and implemented a series of workshops that aimed to heighten participants' awareness of themselves as unique and worthwhile individuals. The workshops were conducted with 12 children, aged 8 - 12 years, in the residential home, Gracehaven. Due to a lack of direct familial support, it was my intent to investigate whether drama as a 'helping' agent could provide additional support for children in these special circumstances
