Research Productivity (RP) is the key element in the establishment of ranking and rating system in the Higher Education (HE) sector. Despite of the many initiatives taken to enliven the research culture among academic staff, there are still constraints and resistance towards conducting research. Therefore, this study attempts to identify the…

Enactivism, as an interesting and useful theoretical underpinning is gaining traction in Mathematics Education research. It forms the central theme of this paper whose aim is two-fold: first to describe and engage with how elements of enactivism informed a PhD study, both on a theoretical and analytical level, and second to reflect on the enacted…

This article examines two course redesigns undertaken to improve student support, learning, and retention in the basic writing program at Oakland University, a doctoral research university in southeast Michigan, where support for developmental writers has fluctuated dramatically between nurture and neglect over the past fifty years. However,…

This article describes qualitative findings regarding lessons learned from research and demonstration projects in four states focused on the implementation of clinical supervision within their public child welfare agencies. This was part of a larger mixed methods study of the effectiveness of these new clinical supervision models on practice,…

Fieldwork exists as a component of many library schools' curricula. Site supervisors, students, and the schools themselves all play a role. A final part of most fieldwork experiences involves the use of an evaluation form filled out by a site supervisor about the student. In this study, forty seven evaluation forms were collected and analyzed…

Constructed a research supervision framework to help transform research students into knowledge workers and managers. The framework, which shows close synergies between the knowledge conversion process and research supervision, is to be tested in an empirical case study in Australia. (SLD)

THIS STUDY OUTLINES A SMALL GROUP INTERACTION MODEL WHICH CAN BE APPLIED TO SUPERVISION. IT CONSISTS OF THREE CHANNELS -- (1) THE MOTIVATIONAL CHANNEL IN WHICH THE MOTIVATIONAL ASPECT OF AN UTTERANCE (I.E. QUESTIONS, EXCLAMATIONS, ASSERTIONS) IS IDENTIFIED ACCORDING TO THE PARTICULAR EGO CRISIS (TRUST VS. MISTRUST, AUTONOMY VS. SHAME DOUBT,…

The purpose of this study was to delineate behavioral tasks which should ideally constitute the role of the local school food service supervisor and the relationship of certain variables to the perception of this role. A role model of 43 behavioral tasks was developed and incorporated in a survey form. This was used to collect data from local…

THE CHIEF OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY OF SPEED-SKILL ACQUISITION WAS TO FIND A MATHEMATICAL MODEL CAPABLE OF SIMPLE GRAPHIC INTERPRETATION FOR INDUSTRIAL TRAINING AND PRODUCTION SCHEDULING AT THE SHOP FLOOR LEVEL. STUDIES OF MIDDLE SKILL DEVELOPMENT IN MACHINE AND VEHICLE ASSEMBLY, AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION, SPOOLMAKING AND THE MACHINING OF PARTS CONFIRMED…
