Designing an Observation Protocol to Assess Tiered Instruction
Accurately measuring high-leverage practices (e.g., HLP 16: explicit instruction) within multitiered system of support (MTSS) instruction is imperative for assessing the efficacy of teacher efforts designed to improve it, yet intricacies associated with assessing such instruction make it difficult. In response to the need for assessments for this purpose, we modified a researcher-developed observation protocol to measure general and special educa…

Psychedelic Use, Microdosing, Motives, and Information and Product Sources Among Young Adults in the United States
26.38, ~50% past-month cannabis use by design) completed an online survey. Multivariable regression assessed sociodemographics, mental health, and adverse childhood events (ACEs) in relation to: (1) past-year psychedelic use; and (2) among those reporting lifetime use: (a) lifetime microdosing and (b) use motives. Lifetime and past-year psychedelic use were 27.7% and 11.9% (commonly psilocybin/amanita, MDMA, and LSD); 48.8% used only for nonmedic…
‘No lu’au for baby's 1st birthday’
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic had deleterious effects across healthcare. People who gave birth during this time experienced increases in mental health challenges compared to their non-pandemic counterparts. Given Hawai'i's geographical location, people who gave birth there may have experienced additional impacts not experienced on the US mainland. The purpose of this study was to investigate experiences of becoming a mother in Hawai'i durin…
Using machine learning techniques to investigate learner engagement with TikTok media literacy campaigns
Social media has the unique capacity to expose many learners to media literacy instruction via targeted campaigns. Investigating learner engagement and reaction to these efforts may be a fruitful endeavor for researchers that can inform the design of future campaigns. However, the massive datasets associated with social media posts are difficult, and often impossible, to analyze with traditional qualitative methods. This study seeks to address th…

Creating a new pathway for change in the military using gender as process
Militaries have consistently struggled to integrate women into the profession of arms despite concerted, decades‐long attempts at reform. We argue that this patchy progress is due in part to a conceptualization of gender as “category”, which has limited power to explain gendered inequalities. We propose that gender as process approaches must also be used to understand the current state of gender relations within militaries. A gender as process ap…

Incoming Deaf College Students’ Sign Language Skills
There are over 135,000 deaf/hard of hearing students enrolled in postsecondary institutions in the U.S. However, deaf students who use sign language may not be aware of their sign language skills, resulting in accommodations that do not provide full access to postsecondary course content and reduced degree completion rates compared to their typically hearing peers. We documented the receptive and expressive ASL skills and self-ratings of 59 incom…
Sex differences in toddlers’ negative attributions to challenges
Children's attributions during challenge have roots in toddlerhood with the onset of self‐evaluative emotions and may reflect sex differences in early socialization practices. This study examined toddler sex as moderating associations between mothers’ ( n = 104, 73.1% White, 75% with a college degree or more) characteristics (low emotional awareness, emotion coaching beliefs) and toddlers’ ( M age = 26.4 mos.; 51 girls) self‐evaluative negative a…
Experiential education of deaf and hard of hearing students in the lab with non-signing advisors
The value of experiential lab work can be measured by its ability to transform a student’s self-identity related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Successful experiences help students shed notions of self-incompatibility with STEM and can often motivate a research career as they develop as a scientist. However, students of diverse and underrepresented populations, such as the d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH), may or may …
Characterizing the spatial mismatch between intimate partner violence related healthcare services and arrests in Miami-Dade County, Florida
These findings underscore the need to further evaluate the adequacy of IPV-related healthcare resources for secondary prevention relative to local IPV arrest rates, particularly within economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Our approach demonstrates the utility of GIS for identifying potential priority regions for IPV prevention efforts and resource allocation
Community Art
This paper presents acts of fluting as tangible expressions of activities performed by Palaeolithic communities of practice, in which situated learning was part of the social transmission of knowledge and communities of practice include children, men and women. To identify individual members of the communities of practice who were involved in the creation of parietal art in the Franco-Cantabrian region we have analysed the age and the sex of the …

Standing on a pile of rubble with his back to the viewer, Xolani Ngilima is fixed on the cover of this recently published collection of essays in the act of pasting an enlarged photograph, originally taken by his great-grandfather, Ronald Ngilima, onto a brick wall in Actonville (Benoni, Gauteng), South Africa. Taken by one of this compilation's twelve remarkable contributors, Sophie Feyder's documentation of the 2011 informal street exhibition “…
Cost-related Nonadherence by Medication Type Among Medicare Part D Beneficiaries With Diabetes
BACKGROUND: Despite the rollout of Medicare Part D, cost-related nonadherence (CRN) among older adults remains a problem. OBJECTIVES: To examine the rate and correlates of self-reported CRN among a population of older persons with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SUBJECTS: A total of 1264 Part D patients with diabetes, who entered the coverage gap in 2006. MEASURES: Initial administrative medication lists were verified in computer-assi…
Role of Instruction in Second Language Acquisition Theories
Although a natural relationship between theories of second language (L2) acquisition and instruction might be expected, surprisingly the connection between many theories and instruction is tenuous, or even absent. Since it is clear that the L2 often, indeed usually, proceeds in the absence of instruction, any viable theory of L2 acquisition should specify that instruction is not necessary. The possible role for instruction ranges from significant…

Learner-Generated Attention to Form
Results of recent studies, some of which appear in this volume, suggest that the incorporation of some degree of focus on form (FonF) into meaning-centered instruction can lead to improved performance in processing input and increased accuracy in production. Long (1983) originally defined FonF as a brief turning of attention to some formal feature while the overriding focus of the interaction remains on meaning. Ideally, this focus should arise i…

Planning, Discourse Marking, and the Comprehensibility of International Teaching Assistants
An examination of the planned and unplanned production of 24 nonnative-speaking teaching assistants indicates that there is a greater difference between the 2 conditions in the degree of discourse marking than in grammatical accuracy. In planned production, discourse moves were more likely to be marked overtly and explicitly than in unplanned production, whereas the level of syntactic and morphological errors differed only slightly. This increase…
Communicative Competence and the Dilemma of International Teaching Assistant Education
This paper examines the curriculum of international teaching assistant (ITA) programs within a sociolinguistic model of language use, the “communicative competence” model proposed by Hymes (1972) and, in its pedagogical applications, by Canale (1983), Canale and Swain (1980), and Savignon (1983). In the face of a growing number of ITA programs, at times with ad hoc curricular goals, the communicative competence framework provides an integrated, t…
