Freed, Maxine – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Meaning making is central to transformative learning, but little work has explored how meaning is constructed in the process. Moreover, no meaning-making theory adequately captures its characteristics and operations during radical transformation. The purpose of this dissertation was to formulate and specify a multiperspectival conceptual model of…

Whitmarsh, Lona; Wentworth, Diane Keyser – Career Development Quarterly, 2012
Career development research has often explored gender differences in and development of career patterns (Gottfredson, 2006). Hyde's (2005) meta-analysis indicated that men and women shared more similarities than differences. Applying Hyde's gender similarities hypothesis to careers, the authors conducted a 2-stage study. Stage 1 was an analysis of…

DiConsiglio, John – CURRENTS, 2010
Annual giving is the number one indicator that someone will make a major or planned gift. Annual funds are the meat and potatoes of fundraising. But if the annual fund has recently taken a backseat to major and megagifts, the recession made a bad situation even worse. Today, most annual fund performance indicators have plummeted. Virtually all…

Neumann, Dave – Social Education, 2010
With state content standards always looming in the background, history teachers express concern about "covering the curriculum."

Meyer, Jim – Voices from the Middle, 2008

Instead, spelling is currently understood as representing a more abstract level of language as well as reflecting etymology. Examples from a middle school spelling…

Anomaly detection is an important and indispensable aspect of any computer security mechanism. Ad hoc and mobile networks consist of a number of peer mobile nodes that are capable of communicating with each other absent a fixed infrastructure. Arbitrary node movements and lack of centralized control make them vulnerable to a wide variety of…

Springer, Matthew G.; Liu, Keke; Guthrie, James W. – Education Economics, 2009
While there is a wealth of research on school finance equity and adequacy, and school finance theory clearly documents differences between the two concepts, no study has examined whether the reforms engendered by each approach actually differ in terms of resource distribution. The present study examines the issues using district-level data on…

Little, Todd D.; Preacher, Kristopher J.; Selig, James P.; Card, Noel A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2007
We review fundamental issues in one traditional structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to analyzing longitudinal data--cross-lagged panel designs. We then discuss a number of new developments in SEM that are applicable to analyzing panel designs. These issues include setting appropriate scales for latent variables, specifying an appropriate…
