New challenges for aerospace education programs in American and Russian universities

There is a growing need for an educated, skilled workforce that is able to learn and adapt to new challenges. Expecting this need to be met by those graduating from high school is not realistic as the current educational system has not adequately served the non-traditional student. This chapter reaffirms that Career Technical Education programs are excellent ways to meet adult learning and workforce development needs. The challenge, as described in the chapter, is to engage adults in becoming lifelong learners. This will require removing barriers to adult learning that relate to cost, accessibility, and interest. State and federal leaders also have a stake in addressing this need as it affects the nation’s ability to compete on a regional and international level.

Pearson Correlations

Over the last decade, with the emergence of cyberbullying (CB) in the education arena, teachers at all stages of the education system have confronted new challenges. Few studies have looked into the factors that affect the coping. This study examines teaching background factors and personal-psychological factors that may affect teachers coping with CB. Six hundred forty-four teachers (81.5% female) completed self-reported questionnaires referring to CB coping, empathy level, communication with students level and teachers’ self-efficacy. Results have revealed that overall, teachers were reported on moderate levels of coping with CB. Pearson correlations indicated that CB coping is correlated positively with high levels of empathy, communication with students, and teachers’ self-efficacy. A multiple regression analysis for predicting effective coping with CB exposed a significant model showing that seniority, empathy, and high levels of teachers’ communication with students may predict teachers’ coping with CB, whereas age and gender do not. Furthermore, the results of a mediation model have revealed that empathy and teacher self-efficacy mediate the influence of teacher communication with students on CB coping. However, we found no direct effect of teacher communication with students on CB coping. The results have significant implications for teachers’ education programs.

Particle Images

Compared with images of negatively stained single particle specimens, those obtained by cryo-electron microscopy have the following new features: (a) higher “signal” variability due to a higher variability of particle orientation; (b) reduced signal/noise ratio (S/N); (c) virtual absence of low-spatial-frequency information related to elastic scattering, due to the properties of the phase contrast transfer function (PCTF); and (d) reduced resolution due to the efforts of the microscopist to boost the PCTF at low spatial frequencies, in his attempt to obtain recognizable particle images.
