What does resilience imply for development practice? Tools for more coherent programming and evaluation of resilience
Advancing resilience measurement
Maternal caregiving capabilities are associated with child linear growth in rural Zimbabwe
Between birth and 2 years, children's well-being depends on the quality of care they receive from caregivers, primarily their mothers. We developed a quantitative survey instrument to assess seven psychosocial characteristics of women that determine their caregiving ability ('maternal capabilities': physical health, mental health, decision-making autonomy, social support, mothering self-efficacy, workload and time stress, and gender norm attitude…

A Framework for Articulating and Measuring Individual Learning Outcomes from Participation in Citizen Science
Since first being introduced in the mid 1990s, the term “citizen science”—the intentional engagement of the public in scientific research—has seen phenomenal growth as measured by the number of projects developed, people involved, and articles published. In addition to contributing to scientific knowledge, many citizen science projects attempt to achieve learning outcomes among their participants, however, little guidance is available for practit…
The relationship between community nutritionists’ use of policy, systems and environmental strategies to prevent obesity and its determinants depends on networking
Objective To apply the Theory of Planned Behaviour to examine the relationship between the constructs of background factors and beliefs towards using policy, systems and environmental (PSE) strategies and reported use of PSE strategies to prevent obesity by a group of professional nutrition educators. Design Cross-sectional study using self-reported survey. Setting Cooperative Extension in New York, USA. Subjects Nutrition educators ( n 58); surv…
Toward a theory of resilience for international development applications
Significance This paper lays the theoretical groundwork necessary to inform more precise use of the term “resilience,” to articulate better theories of change, and to promote more focused measures of resilience for international development applications. Our work complements a flurry of recent notes, white papers, and policy briefs on resilience, all offering measurement tools, policy and programming prescriptions, etc., but conspicuously without…
A Review of Empirical Literature on Inquiry Professional Development
This review brings together the literature on inquiry-based teaching and learning and science teacher professional development (PD). We present a targeted critical review of research focused specifically on the nature of PD programs purported to emphasize inquiry. Our review analyzes the features of each program and critiques the reported outcomes of each study. Findings from this review suggest a general alignment with recommended features of ef…
Research News And Comment
Although there are many innovations that affect the field of educational inquiry, it appears that postmodernism provides educational researchers with the most destabilizing and profound set of challenges. The overall purpose of this commentary is to describe and to critique the recent changes in educational inquiry by outlining the themes and the implications associated with the current interest in postmodernism. Specifically, three types of chan…
Deciphering Postmodern Educational Research
Research News And Comment
Whereas there may be disparate views on the value of adopting a postmodern perspective with in educational research, the increased levels of activity associated with trying to establish a link between postmodernism and educational inquiry remain undeniable. The heightened interest in post modernism, however, has not been accompanied by clear descriptions of the nature of postmodern educational inquiry. In response to this situation, this article …
The Changing Nature of Educational Research and a Critique of Postmodernism
Some Realities of Fieldwork in Squatter Community Schools
Reflections on the Study of Squatter Community Schools in South Africa
The following Reflection from the Field generates more heat than most such pieces that AEQ has published, to the point that we made space for the authors' rejoinder to the response. If read thoughtfully, though, it will generate light as well, especially for brand-new fieldworkers but also for old hands feeling more comfortable than we ought about fieldwork. I am grateful to authors Mark Constas and Wendy Colyn and respondent Michéle Foster for p…
Qualitative Analysis as a Public Event
Although the use of qualitative methods has increased greatly in popularity, many still question the defensibility of the qualitative orientation. It is argued here that questions concerning the credibility and status of qualitative inquiry are related to the privatization of qualitative analysis. The particular area of qualitative analysis I focus on is the process of category development. It is my argument that qualitative researchers must make…
