    E-readers and adolescent engagement: a formative design experiment

    No full text
    Introduction As the use of e-readers becomes commonplace and more affordable, they will make their way into the hands of students. This research provides information about how the devices might be used as a tool to improve adolescent students‘ reading engagement and also helps to identify the struggles and pitfalls educators may face in implementing classroom use of e-readers. Purpose of the Study This study investigated how the use of dedicated electronic reading devices could be implemented as an intervention in an eighth grade language arts classroom to improve students‘ reading engagement. Methods and Procedures Six students from an eighth grade, heterogeneous class in a sizeable suburban middle school in a large, regional district participated in formative design experiment (Reinking & Bradley, 2008). Quantitative and qualitative data were collected prior to and after implementation of the e-reader intervention to determine a baseline of the students‘ reading engagement and to assess any changes. Additionally, qualitative data were collected throughout the intervention. Quantitative data were analyzed using a pairedsamples t-test for the following measures: Reading Engagement Index (Guthrie et al., 2007), Adolescent Motivation to Read Profile (Pitcher et al., 2007), Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (Mokhtari& Reichard, 2002) and The Motivations for Reading Questionnaire (Wigfield & Guthrie, 1997). Qualitative data were coded for recurring themes derived from the following sources: classroom observation and field notes, teacher reflective journal, student and intervention specialist interviews and student written reflections. Results and Discussion Analyses revealed that using an e-reader for assigned school reading had a positive impact on aspects of students reading engagement. Classroom implications, unanticipated effects and changes to the educational environment are also discussed.Ed. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Kristine Lynch Shurin

    Particle panic!: how popular media and popularized science feed public fears of particle accelerator experiments

    No full text
    From novels and short stories to television and film, popular media has made a cottage industry of predicting the end of the world will be caused by particle accelerators. Rather than allay such fears, public pronouncements by particle scientists themselves often unwittingly fan the flames of hysteria. This book surveys media depictions of particle accelerator physics and the perceived dangers these experiments pose. In addition, it describes the role of scientists in propagating such fears and misconceptions, offering as a conclusion ways in which the scientific community could successfully allay such misplaced fears through more effective communication strategies. The book is aimed at the general reader interested in separating fact from fiction in the field of high-energy physics, at science educators and communicators, and, last but not least, at all scientists concerned about these issues. About the Author Kristine M Larsen holds a Ph.D. in Physics and is currently a professor at Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, CT, in the Geological Sciences Department. She has published a number of books, among them The Women Who Popularized Geology in the 19th Century (Springer, 2017), The Mythological Dimensions of Neil Gaiman (eds.

    Ikhsan Nugroho, 2018, NIT: 51145184.N, "Optimization Of Cargo Hold Preparation For The Loading Of Alumina In MV. PAN KRISTINE ", thesis Nautica Study Program, Diploma IV Program, Merchant Marine Polytechnic Of Semarang, Supervisor I: Vega Fonsula Andromeda, S.ST., S.Pd., M.Hum., Supervisor II: Irma Shinta Dewi, S.S., M.Pd. In the loading of bulk alumina in bulk vessels, optimal handling is required to prepare the cargo hold for the loading of alumina to proceed smoothly. Cargo hold optimization process even this happens a constraint that causes the loading process pending. These constraints include poorly optimized cargo hold preparations, unfavorable weather, deficiencies and damage to rust chipping equipment and lack of coordination of ship crews in the hatch preparation process. Writing this thesis using the method Fishbone and Fault Tree Analysis, as well as data collection using literature study method, observation, interview and supported by the documentation directly when the author performs marine practices in MV PAN KRISTINE. Based on the result of the research that in handling the less optimal of preparation of cargo hold for the loading of alumina, it is found that required the addition of spare parts and cargo hold chipping equipment by the company, the ship must conduct safety meeting before the cargo hold preparation process, good coordination between crew ship and crew department and always perform maintenance equipment used for the preparation of the cargo hold on a regular and regular basis. In the end results of research on optimization of cargo hold preparation for the loading of alumina in MV. PAN KRISTINE is very important to be carried out on board for the creation of the cargo hold preparation process without constraints and the loading of alumina can run on time. Keywords: loading, cargo hold, cargo hold preparation
