Program Impact

In an earlier paper (Bryk & Weisberg, 1976) , we introduced the value-added analysis. This approach built on the notion that many educational programs are dynamic interventions in natural growth processes. In particular, by modeling the natural growth process, we developed an analytic model and estimation procedure for assessing program impact on these growth processes. The present article extends the theory and applications of value-added analysis in several important directions. We present here for practitioners and researchers a coherent overview of the method that emphasizes intuitive rationale and simple data analysis procedures.

Human Interference

For three centuries the primary aspiration of Western governments has been constant economic growth but with the Industrial Revolution this objective became troublesome. In the 20thcentury unprecedented levels of industrial production and social consumption caused palpable harm to humans and the environment. Hannah Arendt and John Kenneth Galbraith turned their pens to such concerns and Bill Mollison and David Holmgren advocated a permaculture approach to growth, one that strives to limit human interference in natural growth processes. Today’s precarious economic and ecological imbalances could be stabilized by a shift in applied growth paradigms, from capitalist to permaculturist.

The purpose of this study is to describe the development of entrepreneurial skills of college students in the intercultural context of Mexico. By a non-probability sampling method, a sample of 120 students from an intercultural institution of higher education in the Southeastern Mexico was selected, from which two groups (<em>Indigenous</em> and <em>Mestizos</em>) were obtained to perform the corresponding statistical analyses. The first group was integrated by indigenous students (<em>n </em>= 55) and the second group by mestizos (<em>n </em>= 65). For data analysis, the Student <em>t </em>test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. The results showed no significant differences in the entrepreneurial skills between both groups. However, significant differences were obtained when considering the educational programs offered by the intercultural institution, where the program in sustainable rural development was the one that obtained a higher level regarding the development of entrepreneurial skills. This research contributes with empirical evidence to the knowledge on interculturality in this country.

Decagonal Quasicrystals

Quasicrystals possess quasiperiodicity, where the structure cannot be described simply by the repetition of unit cell like conventional crystals. This fact raises the question of how quasicrystals grow, i.e., what physical mechanism makes the growth of quasicrystals possible. While crystals can grow by copying a unit cell via local atomic interactions, nonlocal structural information seems to be required in the growth of quasicrystals. This problem has attracted much attention ever since the first discovery of a quasicrystal in 1984, and several theoretical growth models [1] have been proposed. However, no experimental studies have so far been reported, and it is still unclear whether these theoretical growth models apply to real quasicrystals. In the present study, we have conducted in-situ high-temperature electron microscopic (HRTEM: High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy) observations of the growth process of decagonal quasicrystals to elucidate the growth mechanism. The growth processes of a decagonal quasicrystal of Al70.8Ni19.7Co9.5were observed by HRTEM in the temperature range 1073-1173K. Tiling patterns with edge length of about 2nm were constructed from a series of HRTEM images. They were analysed in the framework of the projection method. Here, we followed the procedures in our previous work [2]. We have already reported the results of some observations and analyses elsewhere [3]. However, the growth processes of them were on a small scale, and the results were indefinite. Recently, we have succeeded in observing a growth process on a massive scale. In this paper, we present the results of this observation and subsequent analyses, and discuss the growth mechanism of the quasicrystal.

The aim of the present article is to investigate the meaning of the signs in Persian translation of Heart of Darkness. To reach the desired goal, the researcher has used social semiotics and Peirce’s triadic sign model as the theoretical framework. In the current study, Peirce semiotics has been used for detecting signs. After detection 50 signs, the researcher used Peirce’s triadic sign model for analyzing the translation of each sign. The researcher decoded the signs to identify their components and analyzed them in social semiotic level to clarify whether they have the same impression on the Persian version of Heart of Darkness as their English source or not. After performing data analysis, it was cleared that 37 signs (out of 50) in the corpus of the study have the same effect and meaning in the target text as what they have in the source text.

IntroductionToday anger and its manifestation has become a great health problem among adolescents.AimThe aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of teaching anger management on adjustment and self-efficacy of adolescents.MethodsThis is an experimental study which was conducted on 50 students that were chosen through random sampling method. Data were collected through adjustment and self-efficacy questionnaire. Content validity and Test-retest methods were used for validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Initially, the two adjustments and self-efficacy questionnaires were given to the students, then, anger management was taught in for 8 sessions each lasting 1.5 hours. Two weeks after the last session of teaching, the two questionnaires were filled again and the results were compared. Data analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsThe analysis of data with Wilkinson's test revealed that teaching anger management has been effective on adjustment with p < 0/001 and on self-efficacy of adolescent also with p < 0/001.ConclusionAdolescents’ anger is a major concern for the society. With regard to the conclusions drawn in this study and the effects that appropriate control of anger has on adolescents’ adjustment and self-efficacy, it is advisable that educational programs for suitable control of feelings including anger be given top priority in the state educational system.

Behavioral Task

Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) attempts to describe how people perform tasks: the cues and patterns they use, their inferences and strategies, mental models, and other related topics. It differs from behavioral task analyses that seek to enumerate the steps that must be followed without examining the expertise needed to perform critical steps. Therefore, CTA provides a more in-depth picture, which complements the broader and more comprehensive behavioral task analysis. A CTA usually consists of five steps: Preparation, Knowledge Elicitation, Data Analysis, Knowledge Representation, and Application. The applications of CTA can take a number of forms, such as training, system design, personnel selection, and market research.
