Bell, Les; Kent, Peter – Educational Management Administration & Leadership, 2010
The concept of culture as applied to schools is difficult to define and even harder to operationalize in research terms.

Pirutinsky, Steven; Rosmarin, David H.; Pargament, Kenneth I. – Journal of Community Psychology, 2009

Lange, Elizabeth; Chubb, Aaron – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2009
Today recent polls have indicated that the Canadian public considers the environment and climate change as their top concern (De Souza, 2007), perhaps eclipsed only by recent economic fears.

Tan, Lynde; Guo, Libo – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2009

Knowledge about the ways in which race affects decision-making at the end of life is minimal, yet this information is critical for providing culturally sensitive care at the end of life. Data matching socio-demographic characteristics of 34 black and 34 white patients with end-stage renal disease and their spouses reveal that there are no…

Gallard Martinez, Alejandro J. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2009
Teaching is a very complex endeavor. Embedded within this complex environment are issues of power, culture, ethnicity, and race. When teachers and students come together, in the classroom, some of these issues become visible and others remain invisible. Attempting to make influences on teaching and learning visible is one of the steps toward…

Sanders Thompson, Vetta L. – Health Education & Behavior, 2009
Although social and cultural contexts act on each level of the multilevel ecologic model to affect cancer risk, health behavior, and cancer screening and promotion in health behavior research, people have yet to develop theories that sufficiently integrate the social and environmental context with group and individual behavior. The "Behavioral…
