Eighteenth-century Britain saw the emergence of a new poetic genre, the “work” poem which took various forms of labor as its subject and was often written by laborers themselves. Several of these working class poets found their lives transformed due to the success of their verse (Stephen Duck most famously), but most faded into literary obscurity. However, a substantial body of “work” poems was produced by a diverse group of poets throughout the century, each manifesting divergent concerns and attitudes about the experience of work. This chapter assesses the formal connections uniting this poetic genre, particularly the frequent use of such literary devices as ironic distancing, litotes, and mock-georgic description. Instead of solely classifying “work” poems on the basis of their subject matter, this chapter demonstrates that such poetry (indeed the genre itself) lends itself to sophisticated literary techniques often associated with other poetic genres. In this fashion the full measure of eighteenth-century working class poetry can be evaluated more fairly, particularly by analyzing the formation of a new genre designed expressly by the poets themselves. The chapter ultimately seeks to demonstrate the connectedness, rather than the alienation, of working class poetry to the eighteenth-century British poetic tradition.

The concept of habitus lies at the heart of Bourdieu's theoretical framework. It is a complex concept that takes many shapes and forms in Bourdieu's own writing, even more so in the wider sociological work of other academics. In the ®rst part of this paper I develop an understanding of habitus, based on Bourdieu's many writings on the concept, that recognizes both its permeability and its ability to capture continuity and change. I also map its relationship to Bourdieu's other concepts, in particular ®eld and cultural capital. In the second part of the paper I examine attempts to operationalize habitus in empirical research in education. I critique the contemporary fashion of overlaying research analyses with Bourdieu's concepts, including habitus, rather than making the concepts work in the context of the data and the research settings. In the ®nal part of the paper I draw on a range of research examples that utilize habitus as a research tool to illustrate how habitus can be made to work in educational research.

Security Science education at university levels is still in its infancy, with little agreement towards knowledge, curriculum and competency. Therefore, it is essential that educators draw on relevant literature highlighting means of efficient and effective knowledge transfer for tertiary students within the Security Science domain. Such knowledge transfer will reduce the gap between academic knowledge (explicit) and professional competency (tacit

Social development and stress process theories suggest that participation in one's community can function as a protective factor for mental health, especially for youth from socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. However, the effects of community involvement on adolescent mental health could vary across racial/ethnic groups and levels of neighborhood disadvantage. The objectives of this paper are to: (1) examine the effects of various types of community involvement on adolescent mental health, and (2) assess the extent to which race/ethnicity and neighborhood disadvantage moderate the effects of community involvement on adolescent mental health. Using data from two waves (1994/95 and 1996) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health ('' Add Health,'' N=7,863), multilevel (hierarchical) linear models were estimated that tested for interaction effects of race/ethnicity and neighborhood disadvantage. The types of community participation that impacted adolescent mental health varied across racial/ethnic groups. Neighborhood interaction and religious participation were salient for both White and Hispanic teens, but the impact of religious participation for Whites was moderated by neighborhood disadvantage. Non-sport extracurricular activities and employment were the salient factors for Black teens, both of which were moderated by neighborhood disadvantage. The findings from this study have implications for community-level

The active-organism and reactive-organism concepts are meaningful in psychology to the extent that they are understood as basic and essential metaphors which form the context for the definition of other concepts. The origin of the active-organism metaphor is found in philosophical positions which accept activity as primary and the object as derived. The reverse is the case for the reactive-organism metaphor. The consequences of an active-organism metaphor include the development of alternative paradigms for the understanding of diverse areas such as language, conception, perception, and motivation.

The impact of early close relationships on psychological development is one of the enduring questions of developmental psychology that is addressed by attachment theory and research. This essay evaluates what has been learned, and offers ideas for future research, by examining the origins of continuity and change in the security of attachment early in life, and its prediction of later behavior. The discussion evaluates research on the impact of changing family circumstances and quality of care on changes in attachment security, and offers new hypotheses for future study. Considering the representations (or internal working models) associated with attachment security as developing representations, the discussion proposes that (1) attachment security may be developmentally most inßuential when the working models with which it is associated have sufÞciently matured to inßuence other emerging features of psychosocial functioning; (2) changes in attachment security are more likely during periods of representational advance; and (3) parentÐchild discourse and other relational inßuences shape these developing representations after infancy. Finally, other features of early parentÐchild relationships that develop concurrently with attachment security, including negotiating conßict and establishing cooperation, also must be considered in understanding the legacy of early attachments.

Lim and Leek (2012) presented a formalization of information along object contours, which they argued was an alternative to the approach taken in our article (Feldman & Singh, 2005). Here, we summarize the 2 approaches, showing that--notwithstanding Lim and Leek's (2012) critical rhetoric--their approach is substantially identical to ours, except for the technical details of the formalism. Following the logic of our article point by point, Lim and Leek (a) defined probabilistic expectations about the geometry of smooth contours (which they based on differential contour geometry, while we used a discrete approximation--the only essential difference in their approach), (b) assumed that information along the contour was proportional to the negative logarithm of probability, following standard information theory, and then (c) extended this formulation to closed contours. We analyze what they described as errors in our approach, all of which rest on mathematical misunderstandings or ...

Policymakers today commonly assume that investing taxpayers' funds into higher education leads to major payoffs in economic growth. Governors, state legislators, and others in positions of power routinely endorse massive appropriations for university education and research, even in poor economic times, on the grounds that taxpayers will be rewarded many times over. Economic development committees pull out endless studies purporting to show that investment in education will earn two, three, or even 26 times its cost over a finite number of years. Federal funding is justified on the same grounds-spurring economic growth. But are these rosy projections true? To what extent do taxpayer expenditures for universities actually contribute to economic growth? Those questions do not have easy answers. In this paper, Jay Schalin, senior writer for the John W. Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, ventures beyond the superficial claims to look at broader economic studies that attempt to correlate expenditures with results. He finds that the results are not as favorable as they are often said to be, and he offers some explanations for why. "State Investment in Universities: Rethinking the Impact on Economic Growth" reflects the Pope Center's concern for quality, efficiency, and meaningful purpose in higher education, and we look forward to the discussion it will elicit.

A major contribution of information-processing theory to the psychology of remembering is the concept of memory or information retrieval. Several theories of the fact retrieval prodesses of the human memory, which constitute a substrate for any cognitive ability requiring stored informa,tion, have drawn heavily on certain data proce'ssing constructs. This document is organized into ,three sections: (1) a definition of human fact retrieval, and its Implications for experimental investigations of memory, (2). 'theoretical constructs that have been used to formulate models of fact retrieval, and (3) the possible roles of temporal information and cues in experimental procedures for investigating human fact retrieval. The document considers the strengths and weaknesses of the current theoretical approach to memory that emphasizes the micro-processes and micro-structures. This approach is somewhat unique in i+s use of quantitative differences, as opposed to qualitative orderings, to resolve theoretical issues. The authors stress the influence of contextual cues on the fact retrieval process as wall is problems related to complexity of research design, and conclude that it is not yet possible to design a single successful model of,human fact retrieval.

To address the need for more employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID), many vocational rehabilitation agencies have established social ventures called affirmative businesses. Unlike most traditional vocational rehabilitation programs, affirmative businesses compete directly with for-profit businesses producing similar goods or services. Given that nonprofit agencies operating these businesses are supported by taxpayer dollars and private donations, there is increased scrutiny and expectations for legal and ethical behavior and practices. An earlier study of 15 affirmative businesses identified themes and management strategies that contributed to business viability or failure. A reexamination of the findings through the lens of corporate citizenship theory (being economically responsible, abiding by the law, engaging in ethical and moral management, and ensuring the philanthropy of businesses) found that affirmative businesses adhering to the theory's components succeeded, while those that did not failed. The two case studies presented here demonstrate that knowledge transfer of the theory's components from the for-profit business sector to the nonprofit sector is possible and suggest this innovative business approach as a framework to attain sustainable viability within affirmative businesses. The viability of these ventures is especially important for those who live in areas where few competitive employment jobs are available or for those with the most severe ID who require higher levels of job support and job stability. Through an in-depth examination of the theory's components, we suggest options for improving the likelihood that affirmative businesses will achieve viability and provide community-based employment for individuals with ID.

Decisions about using addictive substances are influenced by distractions by addiction-related stimuli, of which the user might be unaware. The addiction-Stroop task is a paradigm used to assess this distraction. The empirical evidence for the addiction-Stroop effect is critically reviewed, and meta-analyses of alcohol-related and smoking-related studies are presented. Studies finding the strongest effects were those in which participants had strong current concerns about an addictive substance or such concerns were highlighted through experimental manipulations, especially those depriving participants of the substance. Theories to account for addiction-related attentional bias are discussed, of which the motivational theory of current concerns appears to provide the most complete account of the phenomenon. Recommendations are made for maximizing the precision of the addiction-Stroop test in future research.

Background: Hundreds of evaluators visit the Claremont Colleges in southern California each year to discuss a wide range of topics related to improving the quality of evaluation practice. Debates between thought leaders in the field have been one of the most popular and informative ways to advance understanding about how best to practice evaluation in contemporary times.  Purpose: The purpose of this article is to provide a written transcript of the 2009 Claremont Evaluation Debates. The first debate is between Michael Quinn Patton and Michael Scriven on the promise and pitfalls of utilization-focused evaluation. The second debate is between David Fetterman, Michael Quinn Patton, and Michael Scriven on the promise and pitfalls of empowerment evaluation. Setting: The debates occurred at the Claremont Graduate University on August 23-24, 2009. Several hundred evaluators from around the world also viewed and participated in the debates via a live webcast. Intervention: Not applicable. ...

This article engages with contemporary debates about the absence/presence of emotion in higher education. UK higher education has traditionally been constructed as an emotion-free zone, reflecting the dominance of Cartesian dualism with its rational/emotional, mind/body, male/female split. This construction has been challenged in recent years by the incursion of ‘new students’ into the academy, requirements to offer enhanced student support, and new neo-liberal employability/personal skills agendas. At the same time, theories on the significance of the emotions in education are gaining prominence, e.g. in relation to debates about ‘emotional intelligence’. This renewed emphasis on emotion, however, has also been constructed as a dangerous and regressive example of the growing ‘therapy culture’ in universities. Drawing on the rich tradition of sociological and psycho-social work on the affective, our concern is to further the theorisation of the place of emotion in higher education.

This article critically examines the view that the signal detection theory (SDT) interpretation of the remember-know (RK) paradigm has been ruled out by the evidence. The author evaluates 5 empirical arguments against a database of 72 studies reporting RK data under 400 different conditions. These arguments concern (a) the functional independence of remember and know rates, (b) the invariance of estimates of sensitivity, (c) the relationship between remember rates and overall hit and false alarm rates, (d) the relationship between RK responses and confidence judgments, and (e) dissociations between remember and overall hit rates. Each of these arguments is shown to be flawed, and despite being open to refutation, the SDT interpretation is consistent with existing data from both the RK and rememberknow-guess paradigms and offers a basis for further theoretical development.

In this review of the literature, we briey examined the development of intelligence theories as they lead to the emergence of the concept of emotional intelligence(s). In our analysis, we noted that only limited attention had been focused on the emotional intelligence skills of school administrators. Accordingly, we examined the role of emotional intelligence in improving student achievement. Because principals as educational leaders are responsible for the successful operation of their respective schools, we contend it is important to examine the link between eective leadership skills and practices and student achievement.

This study tested the convergent and discriminant validity between two theories of college persistence; the Student Attrition Model and the Student Integration Model. The study examined conceptual similarities for each theory to explain departure decisions and examined how both theoretical frameworks enhanced the understanding of the processes affecting departure decisions when tested simultaneously on the persistence criterion. A longitudinal research design was used, and the student population was drawn from the fall 1988 entering freshman class of a large southwestern comprehensive urban institution. An initial survey and a follow-up survey yielded 466 useable responses. The Student Attrition Model accounted for 44% of the variance observed in Persistence and for 60.3% of the variance observed in Intent to Persist. The Student Integration Model accounted for 38% of the variance observed in Persistence and for 36% of the variance observed in Intent to Persist. The Student Integration Model appeared to be more robust when judged in terms of the number of hypotheses validated. While results were largely supportive for both the Student Integration Model and the Student Attrition Model, findings indicated that a considerable amount of overlap between the two theories existed.

This paper reviews self theory that explores self as being a product of social interactions. From this theory it is seen that self formation is a developmental prccess which takes place within the social system. The individual's inferences from his socialbehavior define his self-concept, and a self-concept which has career relevance is the functional self. Like any self-concept, the functional self is a self-process, a process of being and becoming. It is the developmental process of the functional self that should enable curriculum writers to develop a prccess career developmental curriculum, rather than a content occupational information curriculum. Career development is not obtaining knowledge in preparation for living but rather a process of experiencing living.

Over the past decade, fluent reading has come to be seen as a central component of skilled reading and a driving force in the literacy curriculum. However, much of this focus has centered on a relatively narrow definition of reading fluency, one that emphasizes automatic word recognition. This article attempts to expand this understanding by synthesizing several key aspects of research on reading fluency, including theoretical perspectives surrounding automaticity and prosody. It examines four major definitions of reading fluency and their relationship to accuracy, automaticity, and prosody. A proposed definition is presented. Finally, the implications of these definitions for current assessment and instruction are considered along with suggestions for reenvisioning fluency's role within the literacy curriculum.

Carleton College T h e literature on adolescent abuse suggests that it may differ from child abuse. Issues raised in the literature focus on severity, provoking behavior by the adolescents, and community norms for discipline as crucial issues. There are several models of the dynamics of adolescent abuse in the literature. These issues and theoretical models are examined by reviewing twenty-five cases of adolescent abuse from a public welfare office in a large midwestern city. Implications of the findings for reporting injuries and planning interventions are discussed.

There is a developmental theory that views social interaction with others as essential for the development of independent cognitive and linguistic functioning-the theory of Vygotsky (1978, 1987). Vygotsky viewed the child as developing and functioning within a social context. For Vygotsky, ...

For anyone new to this debate, we should begin by explaining the split fovea theory. That theory maintains that the human fovea is divided sharply down the middle so that any visual stimulus falling to the left of fixation is projected initially to the right cerebral hemisphere, while any visual stimulus falling to the right of fixation is projected initially to the left cerebral hemisphere. If a stimulus straddles fixation, the parts that fall to the left and right of the point of fixation will project initially to the right and left cerebral hemispheres respectively. Each hemisphere will 'see' only part of the stimulus, and transfer of information between the hemispheres will be required to create a representation of the complete stimulus. The same considerations apply whether the stimulus is an object, a face, or a written word. Split fovea theory contrasts with the more traditional bilateral projection theory according to which the fovea projects simultaneously to both cerebral hemispheres. On this view, as long as a stimulus is contained within the fovea, both hemispheres will see it in its entirety, and there will be no need for interhemispheric transfer.

The labeling perspective is analyzed in terms of its contribution to the development of a general theory of deviant behavior. The implicit model of social organization framing the labeling process is described, and the limiting conditions for its application explored. Special attention is accorded to the interplay between social organizational and social psychological levels of analysis, and areas of interpenetration between the labeling model and the more traditional interpretations of deviance. Three imaoes of the deviant suggested by the labeling approach are examined: the deviant as outsider, the oversocialized deviant, and the deviant as convert. Each of these images is discussed in terms of its consequences for the elaboration and refinement of a theory of deviance. Several aspects of deviant socialization are outlined as a basis for modifying and extending the labeling approach.

The research concerning relative and independent influences of family and peers upon adolescent drug use is reviewed. Although conflict between family and adolescents is one of the oldest, most predictable, andmin Western society--probably least avoidable of developmental conflicts, the sharp focus upon this conflict in the context of adolescent drug use is a more recent development. As interest and concern regarding adolescent drug use has grown, so has the research seeking to explain this behavior. Much of this research has focused upon the role of family and peer influence. After a brief review of the theories which support either the greater impact of family or peer influence on adolescent behavior, a more specific review of the Hterature concerning the role of these influences on adolescent drug use is presented. The outline of this presentation is derived from Kandel's theory of stages of drug use. Finally, a summary of research findings and specific suggestions for future research are made.

The processing-speed theory and the prefrontal-executive theory are competing theories of cognitive aging. Here we used a theoretically and methodologically-driven framework to investigate the relationships among measures classically used to assess these two theoretical constructs. Twenty-eight young adults (18-32 years) and 39 healthy older adults (65-80 years) performed a battery of nine neuropsychological and experimental tasks assessing three executive function (EF) components: Inhibition, Updating, and Shifting. Rate of information processing was evaluated via three different experimental and psychometric tests. Partial correlations analyses suggested that 2-Choice Reaction Time (CRT) performance is a more pure measure of processing speed than Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) performance in the elderly. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that, although measures of processing speed and EF components share mutual variance, each measure was independently affected by chronological age. The unique adverse effect of age was more important for processing speed than for EF. The processing-speed theory and the prefrontal-executive theory of cognitive aging were shown not to be mutually exclusive but share mutual variance. This implies the need to control for their mutual relationship before examining their unique potential role in the explanation of age-related cognitive declines. Caution has still to be taken concerning the tasks used to evaluate these theoretical constructs.

This dissertation aims to critically examine lecturers’ discursive statements in interviews and English Language Teaching (ELT) classroom practices in Indonesia, primarily in the teaching of Argumentative Writing (AW) and Cross Cultural Understanding (CCU) courses at two universities (Multi-Religious and Islamic University) in Java. This study uses poststructural and interdisciplinary lenses: Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA); Connell’s (2007) ideas of Southern Theory, Kumaravadivelu’s (2006b) Post Method Pedagogy, and Al-Faruqi’s (1989) and Al-Attas’ (1993) Islamisation of knowledge, as well as the critiques of these theories and other postcolonial voices. The critical examination of ELT practices through poststructural and interdisciplinary lenses in an Indonesian context is urgent, as teaching practices at present are subjected by competing regimes of ‘truth’ including Western, neoliberal, Southern, and Islamic discourses. The data were collected from curriculum policy documen...

The applicability of socialization theory for understanding the processes of college impacts on students is discussed.. The focus is affective dimensions of college impact, particularly influences of college on student's values, personal goals, and aspirations. Conceptual dimensions of the socialization process are considered, with attention to characteristics of individuals and institutions that are likely to enhance the influence of college on students. A conceptual framework for understanding the undergraduate socialization process is presented that incorporates socializing influences experienced by undergraduates from a variety of sources, both within and external to the postsecondary institution. Included in the framework are the socializing impacts of: student background, the normative influences exerted by the academic and social structure of the college through interpersonal and intrapersonal processes, and the mediating impacts of both parental socialization and noncollege reference groups during college. Special emphasis is placed on social structural aspects of socialization, rather than on individual processes dealing with socializing influences. A total of 155 references is included.

This paper presents an analysis of the Mead/Freeman controversy with a focus on Mead's claim that “coming of age” in 1920s Samoa was accomplished with relative ease. It is concluded that, while Mead appears to have engaged in some inappropriate generalizations to the rest of Samoa from the small island of Ta'u, Freeman's counterevidence to support his claim that adolescence on Ta'u would have been problematic is weak and easily dismissed. Accordingly, Freeman's claim to have refuted Mead's findings is based on evidence that itself is easily refuted. Thus, Mead's pioneering study, which was the first to argue that adolescent “storm and stress” is not universal, continues to stand the test of time.
