Overcoming Barriers to Latino Participation in Alzheimer's Disease Research
There is a critical need to increase Latino participation in research on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD). Applying principles of community-based participatory research, we convened a community advisory board (CAB) to identify barriers and recommend strategies to increase participation of older Latinos in a longitudinal observational research study of ADRD at the Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Six major barrier…
What constitutes high quality higher education pedagogical research
Over the last 20 years there has been significant growth in the volume of higher education pedagogical research across disciplines and national contexts, but inherent tensions in defining quality remain. In this paper we present a framework to support understanding of what constitutes internationally excellent research, drawing on a range of conceptual frameworks, international and national performance-based research funding systems, discipline/p…

Early career teachers’ research literacy: What does it look like and what elements support its development in practice
This article reviews the effectiveness of two projects: NQT and Beyond; Developing Resilience in Learning and Teaching, and the underpinning conceptual framework (PLSP) in supporting early career teachers’ (ECTs’) development of their research literacy. Evidence of effective integration of research into practice is illustrated through reference to six articles each presenting an individual ECT project, alongside data from a total of 80 ECTs. Them…
Building teachers’ research literacy: Integrating practice and research
Supporting early career teacher (ECT) research literacy is essential in promoting research-integrated professional practice, however it remains an area in much need of development. This article discusses the importance and process of developing ECTs’ research literacy, through establishing strong collaborative links between universities and practising teachers in schools. It is located within an English policy and educational context in which the…

Making Sense of Assessment Feedback in Higher Education
This article presents a thematic analysis of the research evidence on assessment feedback in higher education (HE) from 2000 to 2012. The focus of the review is on the feedback that students receive within their coursework from multiple sources. The aims of this study are to (a) examine the nature of assessment feedback in HE through the undertaking of a systematic review of the literature, (b) identify and discuss dominant themes and discourses …
Styles, approaches, and patterns in student learning
Field independence: Reviewing the evidence
BACKGROUND: The construct of field independence (FI) remains one of the most widely cited notions in research on cognitive style and on learning and instruction more generally. However, a great deal of confusion continues to exist around the definition of FI, its measurement, and the interpretation of research results, all of which have served to limit our understanding of and practice in education. AIMS: This study reviews research evidence on F…
Exploring students' perceptions of feedback in relation to cognitive styles and culture
This study considers the role of cognitive styles and culture in relation to students' perceptions of the value of different types and sources of feedback from sociocultural and constructivist perspectives. The increasingly heterogeneous nature of higher education highlights the importance of enhancing student accessibility to and engagement with feedback; the lenses of cognitive style and culture are important ones in this respect. Indigenous an…
Styles of practice: How learning is affected by students' and teachers' perceptions and beliefs, conceptions and approaches to learning
This special edition of Research Papers in Education features the work of members of the Education, Learning, Styles, Individual differences Network, the only multi?disciplinary international research organisation specifically established to promote the importance of work on styles and individual differences within educational and workplace contexts. In the last six years, styles research has moved forward considerably, both conceptually and meth…
Mexican Americans Acquiring Bachelor's Degrees: Whose Opportunity
This study offers a small, highly contextualized counter-example to several recent large-scale analyses depicting Latino underachievement in higher education (R. Fry, 2002; J. Immerwahr, 2003; S. Miller & E. García, 2004; W. Swail, A. Cabrera, & C. Lee, 2004; W. S. Swail, K. E. Redd, & L. W. Perna, 2003). The purpose is to analyze results from a federal funding program in which qualified and committed Latino students completed university degrees …

Ethnolinguistic Vitality, Prejudice, and Family Language Transmission
Studies of ethnolinguistic vitality have suggested some usefulness of that notion for predicting language maintenance behaviors among groups who might be in the process of language shift. Strangely little use of the concept has been made for the study of the cornerstone of maintenance, intergenerational transmission. The present investigations were undertaken to test the hypothesis that ethnolinguistic vitality determines family policies about th…
The Economic Effects of Surface Freight Deregulation
This book presents a quantitative assessment of the effects of surface freight deregulation on the welfare of shippers, motor carriers, railroads, and labor. The authors find that deregulation has substantially benefited shippers and railroads at some cost to the less-than-truckload segment of the motor carrier industry and to the rail and motor carrier labor force, for an annual net gain to the nation of nearly $16 billion (1988 dollars). Becaus…
Road Work: A New Highway Pricing and Investment Policy
In this book the authors propose a comprehensive highway policy to meet the goals of efficiency, equity, and financial soundness. Their policy is based on two economic principles: efficient pricing to regulate demand for highway services and efficient investment to minimize the total public and private cost of providing them. Policy recommendations include a set of pavement-wear taxes for heavy trucks, a set of congestion taxes for all vehicles, …
