Vital interests
Are students being prepared for the challenges they will face in a globalising world? We investigated whether middle school students were interested in global issues, had knowledge of global issues and possessed the skills needed for competence as a citizen in a globalising world in the context of participating in a five-week, web-based international negotiation simulation conducted by the GlobalEd Project. A repeated measures ANOVA on a pre- and…
Gender and Negotiation
Increasingly, scholars have taken note of the tendency for women to conceptualize issues such as security, peace, war, and the use of military force in different ways than their male counterparts. These divergent conceptualizations in turn affect the way women interact with the world around them and make decisions. Moreover, research across a variety of fields suggests that providing women a greater voice in international negotiations may bring a…
Experimenting with global governance
The appropriate role for the United Nations in international dispute resolution is a matter of high profile discussion and controversy. This paper begins with this ambivalence about the appropriate role for the United Nations in the world and examines several sets of issues that relate to the future of support for the UN within the US and the prospects for global governance more generally. First, we briefly review two thematic strands in previous…
A Study of Technical Signs in Science
Both classroom instruction and lexical database development stand to benefit from applied research on sign language, which takes into consideration American Sign Language rules, pedagogical issues, and teacher characteristics. In this study of technical science signs, teachers' experience with signing and, especially, knowledge of content, were found to be essential for the identification of signs appropriate for instruction. The results of this …

Constructivist Pedagogy and How We Learn
Constructivism and problem-based learning are two concepts that have recently been embraced by the educational community as teachers and professors are trained to meet the needs and demands of their students and the community at large. We discuss the assumptions and premises of constructivism and problem-based learning, and the findings of a study implementing these concepts with international relations as the content in a high-tech problem-based…

Applying Social Cognition in Assessing Reliability with a Small Sample
An issue for researchers studying special or selected populations is how to obtain reliability estimates on instruments. In our 1993 study assessing the attitudes of intubated patients using a social cognition technique, the internal reliability estimate was 0.83. This study replicated and extended this finding and included items requesting subjects to estimate their ability to imagine the simulated intubation process. For 130 undergraduates alph…
Addressing Reliability Estimates When the Population is Small
One of the issues facing researchers studying very select populations is how to obtain reliability estimates for their instruments. When the populations and resulting samples of studies are very small and select, gathering data for typical reliability estimates becomes very difficult. As a result, many researchers ignore the concern about reliability of their instrumentation and forge ahead collecting data. In response to this concern, Bandura's …
Factor Analysis of Responses to the Wisc—R for Gifted Children
Several researchers have focused on the question of whether the traditional two-factor interpretation of WISC--R scores proposed by Wechsler (1974) is appropriate in selecting students to be admitted to gifted programs. Some researchers have suggested that the two-factor solution (Verbal and Performance) of Karnes and K. E. Brown provides the appropriate model, while others have proposed an alternative model based on exploratory research with gif…
