A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was applied to identify promising culturally consistent early intervention (EI) approaches with Latino caregivers. The researchers collected multiple sources of data, analyzed them separately, and then integrated relevant findings with other sources to identify promising EI approaches. Data included acculturation level, coded caregiver interaction style, and reported caregiver preferred activities. Based on the integration of these data and other sources, several themes and promising interventions were identified for Latino caregivers of young children. The use of imperatives, asking questions to redirect attention, and explicit teaching are discussed as well as ways to expand upon these behaviors through request for clarification, use of expansions, focused stimulation, and dialogic reading. Identifying culturally congruent interventions that fit with caregiver’s style and prepares the child for academic settings is also discussed.

The widespread popularity of online classes is evident in both professional and academic settings. Learners' engagement and satisfaction with the online courses, especially from the learners' perspective, are considered core to the promotion of quality learning. The voices of the present day's “virtual generation” need to be heard. The opportunities they see and the challenges they face can be utilized in creating engaging online learning environments. This chapter discusses online class engagement strategies that work. Multiple sources including semi-structured interviews with eight participants at a Research 1 University in Southwest United States, online course documents, email exchanges, and discussion transcripts were used to collect and analyze data. The findings indicate online class engagement factors and issues that need to be considered in effective design and successful delivery of online courses. The findings can be used to help faculties and learners achieve optimum benefits from online classes.

This study aims to explore the deconstruction of the meaning of learning by using ascientific approach to learning Arabic in the State Islamic Middle School in MarosRegency. Data collection methods in this study were observation, indepthinterviews and document analysis by using the analytical techniques version ofMiles and Huberman. The results of the study indicate that; Deconstruction of themeaning of learning occurs in Arabic subjects or at least attempts to reconstruct themeaning of learning from the old paradigm to the new paradigm. The old paradigmin question is from students being told to find out, from teachers as the main sourceto multiple sources or various sources, from textual learning to scientificapproaches, from content-based learning to competency-based learning, frompartial learning to integrated learning, from learning a single answer to multidimensionalanswers, from verbalism learning to applicative learning, the use of ascientific approach in learning Arabic can be seen in the learning process using the5 M principle as a strategy or the way a teacher activates his students in thelearning process. 5 M stands for asking, trying, reasoning, communicating andcreating. Its implementation in learning Arabic, teachers stimulate students to ventthemselves by asking questions, trying new things, using reason in analyzing andconcluding learning, communicating ideas and ideas through coversation methodsand creating new paragraphs from a collection of vocabulary or vocabularypreviously mastered and there are technical constraints in order to maximize effortsto deconstruct the meaning of learning including: Arabic language teachers havenot comprehensively understood the meaning of learning and scientific approachesthat apply to all subjects, there is not sufficient training from Arabic teachers sothat their knowledge of the meaning of learning and scientific approaches areobtained from colleagues and information from social media and the internet,moral and material support from the Ministry of Religion, especially the Ministryof Religion of Maros district in the implementation of 2013 Curriculum for ArabicLanguage at State Islamic Middle School.

Abstract Reasoning is the iterative, path-dependent process of asking questions and answering them. Moral reasoning is a species of such reasoning, so it is a matter of asking and answering moral questions, which requires both creativity and curiosity. As such, interventions and practices that help people ask more and better moral questions promise to improve moral reasoning.

Hintergrund: Mit der Einführung der DRG-basierten Finanzierung erhalten Spitäler einen kleineren finanziellen Spielraum, was Prozessoptimierungen notwendig macht. Internationale Erfahrungen zeigen, dass solche Restrukturierungen Einfluss auf für die Pflege notwendige Kontextfaktoren haben können. Dadurch können auch Pflegequalität und Patientensicherheit beeinträchtigt werden. Ziel: Ziel der «DRG Begleitforschung Pflege» ist, ein Monitoringmodell samt dazugehörenden Instrumenten zur kontinuierlichen Überwachung des Einflusses der DRG-Finanzierung auf zentrale Pflegekontextfaktoren zu entwickeln. Methode: Die vorliegenden deskriptiven quantitativen Resultate wurden im Rahmen der in einem Mixed-Methods-Design durchgeführten Untersuchung mittels einer Online-Befragung erhoben, an der sich Pflegefachpersonen aus fünf Spitälern beteiligten. Ergebnisse: Die Resultate zeigen, dass die untersuchten Pflegekontextfaktoren «Komplexität der Pflege», «Arbeitsumgebungsqualität», «Führungsverhalten», «Moralischer Stress» und «Zufriedenheit mit der Arbeitsstelle» in allen Fachbereichen hinsichtlich der Arbeitsumgebung und Leistungserbringung der Pflege relevant sind. Es lassen sich Muster erkennen, die im Einklang mit der Literatur stehen, und die Hinweise auf die im Modell angenommenen Beziehungen zwischen diesen Kontextfaktoren geben. Schlussfolgerungen: Die Studie hat einerseits für die beteiligten Betriebe nützliche Daten geliefert, auf deren Basis sie Maßnahmen zur Sicherung der Qualität und Entwicklung der Pflege diskutieren können, andererseits konnten wichtige Informationen zur Weiterentwicklung des Modells und zu den eingesetzten Instrumenten gesammelt werden.

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Im klinischen Alltag stellt die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit zwischen Pflegefachpersonen und Ärzt(inn)en immer wieder eine Herausforderung dar. Quantitative oder qualitative Studien haben das Ziel, Erkenntnisse zu einer verbesserten Zusammenarbeit aufzuzeigen. Diese Erkenntnisse sind jedoch aus methodischen Gründen oft begrenzt. Ziel: Mittels Triangulation quantitativer und qualitativer Daten beschreibt diese Studie die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit aus Sicht der Pflegefachpersonen. Methode: Die Datenerhebung erfolgte in einem Mixed Methods-Design im Rahmen der interprofessionellen Sinergia DRG-Begleitforschung. Zunächst erfolgte eine separate Analyse der quantitativen und qualitativen Daten. Durch die Triangulation entstand in vier Schritten eine „Meta-Matrix“. Ergebnisse: Die „Meta-Matrix“ bildet alle relevanten quantitativen und qualitativen Ergebnisse sowie ihre Zusammenhänge modellähnlich auf einer Seite ab. Die Relevanz, die Einflussfaktoren sowie die Folgen der interprofessionellen Zusammenarbeit für Mitarbeitende, Patient(inn)en, Angehörige und Systeme werden deutlich. Schlussfolgerung: Die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit aus Sicht der Pflegefachpersonen in fünf Spitälern wird erstmals umfassend in einer „Meta-Matrix“ aufgezeigt. Die Folgen ungenügender Zusammenarbeit zwischen Pflegefachpersonen und Ärzt(inn)en sind beträchtlich, weshalb in interprofessionelle Konzepte investiert werden muss. Aus der „Meta-Matrix“ ist ersichtlich, welche Faktoren für die interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit hinderlich bzw. förderlich sind.

Abstract. This study examined the association between Agreeableness and children’s selection of conflict resolution tactics and their overt behaviors at school. A total of 157 second graders responded to a series of conflict resolution vignettes and were observed three times during physical education classes at school. We hypothesized that Agreeableness would be inversely related to the endorsement of power assertion tactics and to displays of problem behaviors, and positively related to the endorsement of negotiation tactics and to displays of adaptive behaviors. Consistent with hypotheses, Agreeableness was inversely related to power assertion tactics and to displays of off-task, disruptive, and verbally aggressive behaviors. There was no evidence that Agreeableness was related to more socially sophisticated responses to conflict, such as negotiation, with our sample of second grade students; however, it was related to displays of adaptive behaviors, specifically on-task behaviors. Limitations, including potential reactivity effects and the restriction of observational data collection to one school-based setting, are discussed. Future researchers are encouraged to collect data from multiple sources in more than one setting over time.
