The Impact

This chapter addresses the growing number in the underserved population of school-age children and their families who live in poverty and raises awareness as to how that factor directly contaminates student achievement. It is important to understand the federal definition of poverty and the attendant unique social environment. This chapter highlights an appreciation for the history of American race relations and its role in poverty-related behavior, as well as examines the inherent biases prevalent in American communities and schools that work to restrict opportunities for underprivileged families and children. It explores the impact of changing a culture of poverty through the lens of schools and role models, subsequently understanding multidisciplinary approaches for eliminating policies that alienate and exclude the poor. It includes best practices in pedagogy, services, and support for marginalized populations that will illuminate for the practitioner how the contamination of student achievement occurs and empowers them to assist those trapped by poverty.

This paper describes the results of a national survey of identification practices in the field of gifted and talented education. The survey was conducted by the Educational Improvement Center-South under a contract from the U.S. Office of the Gifted and Talented. Teachers of the gifted, university professors, state consultants, and others were queried as to what constitutes the most frequently and effectively used tests/instruments/techniques in the identification process vis-à-vis the categories of the federal definition and certain subpopulations. Survey data is analyzed for existent and recurrent patterns and trends. Among the findings disclosed are abuses of standardized testing and other inappropriate practices, apparent confusion over the definition of giftedness, and Jack of understanding regarding what should and should not be used for identification under each category.

The Scale for Assessing Emotional Disturbance (SAED) was developed to operationally define the federal definition of emotional disturbance (ED) and to assist in the identification of children who qualify for the federal special education ED category. This study reports on the standardization of the SAED and examines the scale's factor structure, reliability, and construct validity. Data were collected on a national sample of children with ED and without ED. Data from the ED sample led to the identification of six behavior problem factors that correspond to the federal definition. The factors were determined to be highly internally consistent. Intercorrelations among subscales based on these factors supported the construct validity of the SAED, as did the fact that all subscales and an overall problem score were rated significantly higher among the ED sample than among the non-ED sample. Future research directions and useful practical applications of the SAED are suggested.

The purpose of this article is to examine the conceptual alignment between the ethical principles of research integrity and open science. Research integrity is represented in this study by four general codes of conduct on responsible conduct of research (RCR), three of them international in scope, and one national. A representative list of ethical principles associated with open science is compiled in order to create categories for assessing the content of the codes. According to the analysis, the current understanding of RCR is too focused on traditional publications and the so called FFP definition of research misconduct to fully support open science. The main gaps include recognising citizen science and societal outreach and supporting open collaboration both among the research community and beyond its traditional borders. Updates for both the content of CoCs as well as the processes of creating such guidelines are suggested.
