Biological evolution learning and computational thinking: Enhancing understanding through integration of disciplinary core knowledge and scientific practice
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the integration of computational thinking with learning about biological evolution. Specifically, we investigated the effectiveness of a framework from a recently developed learning progression that emphasises the complex nature of teaching both computational thinking and biological evolution. Computational thinking is a concept introduced by relatively recent science education reform efforts…
Understanding Biological Evolution Through Computational Thinking: A K-12 Learning Progression
Components of the Solution-Based Casework Child Welfare Practice Model That Predict Positive Child Outcomes
While a number of studies have shown the efficacy of the solution-based casework (SBC) practice model for child welfare (e.g., Antle, Christensen, van Zyl, & Barbee, 2012 Antle, B. F., Christensen, D. N., van Zyl, M. A. & Barbee, A. P. (2012). The impact of the Solution Based Casework (SBC) practice model on federal outcomes in public child welfare. Child Abuse & Neglect, 36, 342–353.[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), t…

Successful adoption and implementation of a comprehensive casework practice model in a public child welfare agency: Application of the Getting to Outcomes (GTO) model
The prevention of child maltreatment recidivism through the Solution-Based Casework model of child welfare practice
Solution-Based Casework in Child Welfare: Preliminary Evaluation Research
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Solution-Based Casework (SBC) model for child welfare practice. Method: Two case review studies were conducted. The first study compared 48 cases from two worker groups differing in degree of training and implementation of the SBC model. The second study compared the outcomes of 100 high-risk cases based on implementation level of the SBC model. Results: These two studies found…
Family Functioning Factors Associated with the Adjustment of Children of Divorce
Data collected from 95 children of divorce and their custodial parents were based on the cildren's current mental health in relation to measures of family functioning. The study examined the predictive value of two instruments designed to assess family functioning (Family Assessment Device and Divorce Adjustment Inventory) in accounting for children's current functioning as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Three factors from the t…
Gender and nonverbal decoding skill as determinants of interpersonal expectancy effects
This research investigated the occurrence of the self-fulfilling prophecy in sameand mixed-sex dyads. Males and females served as interviewers and interacted with both male and female interviewees. We hypothesized that male interviewers (a) would be more influenced by erroneous preinteraction information about interviewees than females, (b) would show more biased behavior toward their interviewees, and (c) would be more influential at producing b…
