The three sites in Virginia that provided the most coverage of the state within a two-hour response period were analyzed as was the optimal placement of teams at four sites. The author concluded that four response teams, located throughout the state, could provide emergency response to every location in Virginia
Evaluation of Alternative Truck Lane Management Strategies Along a Section of I-81
No full textI-81 is one of the top eight truck routes in the U.S. In the state of Virginia, I-81 traverses 325.51 miles from Tennessee in the south to the West Virginia border in the north and passes through 12 counties. The highway was designed for a 15 percent truck volume, however trucks now account for somewhere between 20 to 40 percent of the total traffic volume. In 2001, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) developed a list of key improvements for I-81. The improvements include: developing the corridor as a multi-modal facility, incorporating a high degree of efficiency and safety for all users, which may include the physical separation of commercial and passenger vehicles; considering transit or other higher occupancy travel in and around growing urban areas, and using Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) as short-, mid-, and long-term solutions to improving transportation flow and management (VDOT 2004). In 2003, a U.S. house transportation bill included $1.5 billion in federal funding for dedicated truck lanes. According to Representative Don Young (Alaska), author of the bill and a strong proponent of truck-only lanes; Separate lanes for trucks will move freight more efficiently and make our highways significantly safer.Virginia.

An approach to pavement management in Virginia.
No full textThe report summarizes the objectives and benefits of formal pavement management systems and outlines an approach believed by the author to be practical for Virginia. The management of Virginia interstate pavements and a proposed random-sampling plan for the primary and secondary systems are discussed. Five recommendations directed at initiating a pavement management system are offered. Perhaps the most important of these deals with the immediate establishment of a pilot management system for the interstate network. Projected costs of pavement management range from 200,000 for development of a system, depending upon the level of commitment, and approximately $90,000 in annual operating costs
La retroalimentación reflexiva o por descubrimiento y su relación con el aprendizaje autónomo de los estudiantes de nivel secundaria de la institución educativa Juan de Dios Valencia del distrito de Velille - Cusco 2020
No full textFrente a diversos escenarios y situaciones de aprendizaje donde implique el proceso de construcción del conocimiento encontraremos al estudiante como ente del proceso educativo y al docente como guía en la enseñanza aprendizaje y su interactuación debe lograr que el estudiante gestione sus propios aprendizajes y actúe con autonomía a través de las evidencias tangibles e intangibles que se dan como prueba de este proceso, las mismas que son observables y verificables. Un docente que frente a las evidencias de aprendizaje realiza la retroalimentación reflexiva o por descubrimiento guía a los estudiantes para que sean ellos mismos quienes descubran cómo mejorar su desempeño o bien para que reflexionen sobre su propio razonamiento e identifiquen el origen de sus concepciones o de sus errores. (MINEDU, Manual del Comité de Evaluación Docente, 2019) Es por ello que la presente investigación pretende determinar la relación que existe entre retroalimentación reflexiva o por descubrimiento y el aprendizaje autónomo de los estudiantes de nivel secundaria de la institución educativa Juan de Dios Valencia del distrito de Velille - Cusco 2020 Con este objetivo se propone una investigación cuantitativa, donde se comprueba la hipótesis H1 Existe relación significativa entre la retroalimentación reflexiva o por descubrimiento y el aprendizaje autónomo de los estudiantes de nivel secundaria de la institución educativa Juan de Dios Valencia del distrito de Velille - Cusco 2020. De tipo no experimental y diseño correlacional. La información fue recogida a través de encuestas con su instrumento el cuestionario aplicados a la muestra de 50 estudiantes de nivel secundaria de la institución educativa Juan de Dios Valencia del distrito de Velille - Cusco 2020. Los resultados obtenidos permiten observar que los docentes que hacen uso de retroalimentación reflexiva o por descubrimiento logran que sus estudiantes actúen con autonomía frente al aprendizaje.Tesi
A Case Study in the Desegregation of George Washington High School and Langston High School in Danville, Virginia during the 1970-1971 School Year
No full textThis paper provides a historical analysis of the desegregation of George Washington High School and Langston High School in Danville, Virginia in 1970. The author focuses on the related desegregation litigation on a national, state, and local level as well as the historical context for desegregation in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In August of 1970, Danville, Virginia embarked on a new era in education as its schools would be totally desegregated. It would no longer operate under the freedom of choice plan that had been in effect since 1965 and permitted African-American parents to send their children to the all-white schools. The school system was to be fully integrated and operating as a unitary system.
Using newspaper accounts, correspondence from key figures, and interviews with key people in Danville in 1970, the author addresses four areas of research: (a) What led to the desegregation of schools in Danville, Virginia? (b) Who were the key players in the desegregation movement? (c) How were the community, the students, and the staff prepared for desegregation? and (d) What were the attitudes and the concerns about desegregation? The data was collected and analyzed using qualitative methodology. The constant-comparative method espoused by Maykut and Morehouse was used to analyze the data and Bronfenbrenner's concept of the "nested environment" was the theoetical model used to organize the data.Ed.

El aprendizaje cooperativo y las competencias digitales de los estudiantes de una institución educativa pública Chumbivilcas Cusco 2022
No full textEl desarrollar la cooperación en la escuela, debe tender a formar estudiantes que construyan conocimientos con pensamiento crítico y creativo, mediante habilidades que requieren interacción, propiciando lazos afectivos y efectivos que afianzan el aprendizaje en equipo, es por ello que la investigación tuvo su propósito en determinar la relación que existe entre el aprendizaje cooperativo y las competencias digitales de los estudiantes de una Institución Educativa Pública Chumbivilcas Cusco 2022, utilizando en la investigación la metodología cuantitativa de tipo correlacional, aplicando dos cuestionarios como instrumento a un total de 100 estudiantes, ambas herramientas validadas en su contenido por expertos familiarizados en el tema y la validez del constructo fue determinada mediante el Alfa de Cronbach. La investigación concluye en afirmar que existe relación significativa positiva media de 0,508** con nivel de confianza al 5%, entre el aprendizaje cooperativo y las competencias digitales de los estudiantes, lo que significa que existe 50,8% de relación entre variables. Dicha contrastación se comprobó utilizando el estadístico de correlación Rho Spearman, donde, a medida que se ejecuten actividades que involucre estrategias de aprendizaje cooperativo, se desarrollarán la mayor cantidad de competencias digitales. La investigación propone un programa de innovación y formación pedagógica denominada “Utilizando el aprendizaje cooperativo, desarrollamos nuestras competencias digitales”, que pretende incrementar el desarrollo de competencias que requieran herramientas tecnológicas ayudado de estrategias de cooperación
