AU - Byrd, C.M. AU - Sellers, R.M. T2 - Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology AB - Racial discrimination, a common experience for many African Americans, has been conceptualized within a stress and coping framework. However, few have examined whether racially stressful events are appraised and coped with differently from nonracially stressful events. The present study uses a daily diary method to examine African American college students' appraisals and coping behaviors in racially and nonracially stressful situations. The study examines the following 3 questions: 1) Do African Americans appraise racially stressful events differently from nonracially stressful events? 2) Do they cope with racially stressful events differently from nonracially stressful events? and 3) Do they cope with racially stressful events differently from nonracially stressful events, even after controlling for differences in cognitive appraisals of the events? The present sample consists of 35 participants who reported experiencing at least one racially stressful event and at least one nonracially stressful event during a 20-day diary study. Overall, no differences were found in students' appraisals in the racially stressful versus nonracially stressful events. Participants used less planful problem solving and more confrontive, ruminative, and avoidance coping strategies in the racially stressful events as compared with the nonracially stressful events. These findings suggest a need for race-specific models for coping with racial discrimination. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).

T2 - Studies in Science Education AB - In this article, we critically examine skills that are necessary for the effective learning of science in adolescent populations. We argue that a focus on twenty-first-century skills among adolescents within the context of science instruction must be considered in light of research on cognitive and social development. We first review adolescents’ emerging abilities in terms of five domains identified by the National Research Council Board on Science Education: adaptability, complex communication/social skills, non-routine problem-solving skills, self-management/self-development and systems thinking. We next describe practices that science teachers can use to enhance the development and use of emerging cognitive abilities in adolescents. We conclude by providing seven research-based recommendations for adolescent science instruction.

This tension comes to the fore around disagreements over schooling and requests for religious accommodation. Often, these requests are treated as straightforward dilemmas — either the state accommodates the group at the expense of the child's future interest in autonomy, or the state must use its power to coerce the group into compliance. McAvoy argues for a principled middle ground between these two views. Using William Galston's conditions for securing the right to exit (set out in his 2002 book Liberal Pluralism ) and evidence from Anabaptist apostates, McAvoy shows that insular groups cannot satisfy these conditions. Consequently, when accommodation is necessary, the state must mitigate the foreseeable costs to children by enacting policies that “facilitate entrance” for those who later choose to exit.

T2 - Educational Technology, Teacher Knowledge, and Classroom Impact AB - To address the myriad effects that emerge from using technology in social studies, we introduce in this chapter the concept of vernaculars to represent local conditions and tendencies, which arise from using technology in social studies. The chapter includes three examples of TPACK vernaculars in social studies. The first explores a theoretical TPACK vernacular where Web 2.0 technologies support social studies and democratic life. The second example is focused on a three-part heuristic for seeking information about digital historical resources from the Library of Congress. Example three presents personalized vernacular TPACK developed by teachers planning to use an online gaming website called Whyville. Research and theorizing on vernacular forms of TPACK in social studies can aid teachers as they reflect on their own experiences teaching with technology.

Qualitative data were collected and analyzed that included student comments posted to an educational blog, classroom observations, and follow-up interviews. Based on the analysis, the authors determined four major findings: (a) Students were able to engage in historical analysis while working in the blog environment when it was focused on a single source and included a hard scaffold; (b) when students situated the activities in relevant cultural experiences, they were able to better use their prior knowledge;(c) a variety of affordances related to blogging encouraged and supported students as they completed their work; and (d) the blogging activities were constrained by the limits of students’ literacy and historical skills, and the limits of technology.

T2 - Computers in Human Behavior AB - This paper examined the effects of an instructional approach known as Spatial Temporal Mathematics (ST Math) on teacher beliefs about mathematics teaching. Participants were 339 elementary teachers teaching grades 2–5 who were randomly assigned to a control or treatment group. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to determine the effects of the intervention on self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, and instructional practices using scientific reasoning. While the treatment did not yield significant effects in teacher outcomes, our secondary analysis indicated that time on ST Math and the integration of ST Math into daily instructions were positively associated with teacher efficacy and instructional practices using scientific reasoning. Implications of the results on teacher beliefs about mathematics teaching are discussed.

T2 - Intelligent Tutoring Systems AB - Narrative-centered learning environments provide an excellent platform for both content-knowledge and problem-solving skill acquisition, as these experiences require students to apply learned material while solving real-world problems. Solving complex problems in an open-ended environment can be a challenging endeavor for elementary students given limitations in their cognitive skills. A promising potential solution is providing students with explicit quests, or proximal goals of a larger, more complex problem-solving activity. Quests have the potential to scaffold the process by breaking down the problem into cognitively manageable units, providing useful, frequent feedback, and maintaining motivation and the novelty of the experience. The aim of this research was to investigate the role of quests as a means for supporting situational interest and content-knowledge acquisition during interactions with a narrative-centered learning environment. Of the 299 5th grade students who interacted with Crystal Island, a narrative-centered learning environment for science, it was found that students who completed more quests exhibited significant increases in content learning and had higher levels of situational interest. These preliminary findings suggest potential educational and motivational advantages for integrating quest-like sub-problems into the design of narrative-centered learning environments.

When the responses of 559 foreign language students were compared to students in five other subject area groups, the findings suggested foreign language students had significantly lower perceptions of their online courses in several key areas: overall success in the online environment, teacher preparation, teaching, course/assignment instructions, and level of group collaboration. A follow-up survey with open-ended questions was sent to students and teachers asking them to help explain these significant differences. The 119 students and 19 teachers who responded to follow-up questions reported that reduced student perceptions of online foreign language courses might be increased by improving specific aspects of teaching, increasing collaboration, and providing adequate support for student learning needs.

AU - Morris, Gwynn AU - Zhang, Junzheng T2 - RMLE Online AB - This study focuses on middle grades teachers from the United States and China, the two countries with the highest Internet use, in an attempt to understand both groups’ perspectives on integrating new literacies and technologies into their teaching. Survey and focus group results indicate that, although U.S. and Chinese teachers are operating under different educational policies in their respective countries, their experiences with school changes prompted by the integration of new technologies have similarities. One notable difference was the significantly higher value Chinese teachers assigned to creativity and innovation in contrast to U.S. teachers, which may be a result of current U.S. testing policies. Although there appears to be a gap between their aspirations and their practices, middle grades teachers from both countries report an eagerness to create educational experiences that help students become active global citizens, and they recognize the role of new literacies and technologies in achieving this goal.

T2 - Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas AB - ABSTRACT The science of sound helps students learn that sound is energy traveling in waves as vibrations transfer the energy through various media: solids, liquids, and gases. In addition to learning about the physical science of sound, students can learn about the sounds of different animal species: how sounds contribute to animals’ survival, and how humans are learning to explore the uses and properties of species’ sounds. Students learn to interpret the visual representations of sounds using the technology of spectrograms. Sound explorations include physical and life science applications for elementary school students as we help them probe their aural world.

AU - Wichman, Aaron L. T2 - SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY OF EDUCATION AB - We conducted an investigation into a determinant of academic motivation that has implications for how we respond to school violence and tragedy. We conducted two studies to examine whether exposure to messages related to the salience of one’s own mortality cause people to align their own academic beliefs more closely with stereotypical beliefs about their social groups. When exposed to graffiti images that contained messages such as R.I.P. (i.e., rest in peace), males and females in Study 1 expressed math attitudes that resembled the American stereotype of male superiority and female inferiority in this domain. In Study 2, writing about death caused participants to express ethnic stereotype-consistent math attitudes. As one example, our studies highlight a potential psychological barrier associated with student advancement in STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). These findings indicate that death reminders, even when they do not follow from direct exposure to school trauma, may impact the academic motivation of stereotypically disadvantaged groups. With the larger goal of reducing psychological barriers associated with inequality in the pursuit of STEM career pathways, these studies are intended to spur further examination of how cases of extreme violence in schools potentially can affect patterns of academic motivation. Even in its early stages, this research should provide new considerations for educational policy-makers aiming to design damage control protocols in response to extreme school violence.

T2 - READING & WRITING QUARTERLY AB - Although an abundance of research exists regarding reading achievement gaps with minority students, and it is widely accepted that experiences in the early grades can be foundational to future success, there is a need for more research on what constitutes effective literacy practices for struggling African American emergent readers. The purpose of this article is to describe the complexity of an African American kindergarten student's responses to interactive read-alouds. Drawing on data from a 9-month research project in an urban public kindergarten classroom, this case study describes how an emergent reader, who was identified by his teacher as struggling with both literacy development and motivation, was highly engaged during the daily interactive read-alouds. The researcher used qualitative research methods, and data analysis occurred in 3 phases: (a) descriptive analysis of the classroom context, (b) analysis of emergent themes, and (c) categorical analysis of comprehension levels. Overall, the findings show that classroom read-alouds of children's picture books are a positive aspect of reading instruction because the discussion that occurs can influence and affect children's development of comprehension strategies as well as their self-perceptions as readers.

AU - Rios, Kimberly T2 - ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PSYCHOLOGIE-JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY AB - Building upon Optimal Distinctiveness Theory ( Brewer, 1991 ), we propose that students will exhibit increased self-regulatory persistence and performance to satisfy their needs for assimilation and differentiation. In Study 1, undergraduates rated the importance of 16 achievement-related tasks (e.g., studying for examinations, class participation). A within-persons hierarchical linear model revealed that the more students perceived enacting these behaviors as satisfying their assimilation or differentiation needs, the more important they considered such behaviors to be. In Study 2, we manipulated assimilation or differentiation motives and provided students with false information that success on a word task was associated with either fitting in or standing out. As predicted, participants in the need for assimilation condition performed better and spent more time on a task allegedly associated with fitting in. By contrast, participants in the need for differentiation condition performed better and spent more time on a task allegedly associated with standing out.

T2 - Teaching and Teacher Education AB - This study utilized cluster analysis to identify typologies of prospective teachers enrolled in a teacher education program in the U.S. based upon their self-report motivations for teaching. A three-cluster solution generated three distinctive typologies of prospective teachers (N’s of 93, 70 and 52), and further differences among typologies were investigated with respect to participants’ beliefs about teaching. Follow-up semi-structured interviews confirmed meaningful differences found between the clusters with regard to unique combination of motivations and beliefs about teaching relevant to each typology. Implications for teacher education and teacher development are further discussed in relationship with study findings.

Recent research demonstrates that games have the potential to impact student learning in STEM content areas and that collaborative gameplay may be of particular importance for learning gains. This study investigated the effects of collaborative and single game player conditions on science content learning and science self-efficacy. Results indicated that there were no differences between the two playing conditions; however, when conditions were collapsed, science content learning and self-efficacy significantly increased. Future research should focus on the composition of collaboration interaction among game players to assess what types of collaborative tasks may yield positive learning gains.

There is a growing need for innovative instructional practices in reading and writing that are aligned with student interests and the activities they engage in outside of the classroom. Connecting video production to school reading and writing experiences taps into a student's natural predisposition for media consumption and production. This article presents a project-based inquiry process that merges students’ growing interest in grassroots video with educational goals that are aligned with state and national curricular standards. Through a five-phase process—ask a compelling question; gather and analyze information; creatively synthesize information; critically evaluate and revise; and publish, share, and act—students are engaged in reading, writing, and creating a video product that captures their multimodal learning of academic content.
