Quantitative skills and methods training in graduate-level education research and related fields in Ethiopia: Challenges and opportunities from Addis Ababa University
Background Developing the next generation of researchers in education and the social sciences is a primary responsibility for higher-education institutions and graduate programs in education. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where resources for research training and supports may be scarce, limitations or gaps in access to training opportunities can affect graduate students' development of research and quantitative methods skills and th…
Parenting of schoolchildren’s television viewing in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Although children are increasingly being exposed to television in Ethiopia, much is unknown about related parental responses. This study investigated parenting practices associated with schoolchildren’s television viewing, with a focus on parental concern and mediation strategies. Three hundred and eighty-seven parents of primary schoolchildren (grades 1 through 4; Mage = 9.6 years, SD = 1.81; age: 6 to 15 years) attending six schools in Addis Ab…
At-scale, state-sponsored language and literacy professional development: Impacts on early childhood classroom practices and children’s outcomes
Professional development (PD) is a potentially important mechanism for enhancing classroom practices and children’s learning. In this large-scale randomized controlled trial, we examined the effectiveness of language and literacy PD, with and without coaching, offered at scale to early childhood educators (n = 546) across 1 state. Relative to the comparison condition, PD with coaching showed a small impact on the quantity of phonological awarenes…
Early childhood literacy coaching: An examination of coaching intensity and changes in educators' literacy knowledge and practice
Early Childhood General and Special Educators: An Examination of Similarities and Differences in Beliefs, Knowledge, and Practice
In this study, we provide a contemporary examination of the similarities and differences between early childhood general educators (ECEs) and early childhood special educators (ECSEs) within a theoretically driven model that accounted for the associations of beliefs and knowledge with practice. We used structural equation modeling to examine the associations among these multifaceted constructs, controlling for background characteristics, for 147 …
The nature and extent of change in early childhood educators' language and literacy knowledge and beliefs
Approaches to academic growth assessment
BackgroundThere is much interest in assessing growth in student learning. Assessments of growth have important implications and affect many policy decisions at many levels.AimsIn the present article, we review some of the different approaches to measuring growth and examine the implications of their usage.SampleSamples used in research on growth models typically include students enrolled in public schools that primarily serve kindergarten through…

Inpatient Rehabilitation Volume and Functional Outcomes in Stroke, Lower Extremity Fracture, and Lower Extremity Joint Replacement
BACKGROUND: It is unclear if volume-outcome relationships exist in inpatient rehabilitation. OBJECTIVES: Assess associations between facility volumes and 2 patient-centered outcomes in the 3 most common diagnostic groups in inpatient rehabilitation. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used hierarchical linear and generalized linear models to analyze administrative assessment data from patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation services for stroke (n=202,423), l…
Classroom Goal Structures and HIV and Pregnancy Prevention Education in Rural High School Health Classrooms
Over 5,000 adolescents enrolled in required rural high school health courses reported their perceptions of mastery and extrinsic goal structures in their health classrooms. Data were collected from all students at three time points (prior to HIV/pregnancy instruction, three months after instruction, and one year after instruction). Results indicated that classroom goal structures were related to both proximal and distal knowledge, attitudes, inte…

Voices from the heart: The developmental impact of a mother's lesbianism on her adolescent children
This article is based upon a study exploring the impact of a divorced mother's lesbian orientation on her children, as they experience adolescence within a homophobic culture. Sexual identity issues and friendships are highlighted. Findings indicate profound loyalty and protectiveness toward the mother, openness to diversity, and sensitivity to the effects of prejudice. Subjects reported strong needs for peer affiliation and perceived secrecy reg…
