Rural Adolescent Perceptions of the Availability and Accessibility of Substance Abuse Treatment
The prevalence of substance abuse among rural adolescents has equaled or surpassed rates in urban youth, but rural substance abusers go untreated at rates twice that of urban populations. Cultural norms adverse to help-seeking, and low availability and accessibility of substance treatment in rural areas may effect treatment utilization. The primary purpose of this study was to assess rural adolescents’ substance problem recognition and perceptions of substance abuse treatment availability and
Child Caregiver Interaction Scale
Research on early brain development and early childhood demonstrates that the experiences children have and the attachments they form early in life have a long-lasting impact on their later development and learning. The link between high quality early childhood experiences and positive child outcomes is well documented. Quality child care is comprised of the combination of classroom environment and caregiver interaction. While there are measurement tools that adequately assess the environment of
Avaliação da Qualidade em Conteúdos Digitais
No âmbito educacional, os conteúdos didácticos são concebidos com a finalidade de levar o aluno a construir determinado conhecimento. A diversidade de soluções tecnológicas educacionais abre novas perspectivas na melhoria da qualidade dos sistemas educativos e simultaneamente vem dando origem a maiores nÃveis de exigência no que se refere à qualidade dos conteúdos digitais de carácter educativo, tornando cada vez mais necessário desenvolver metodologias e métodos de análise e aval
E-Conteúdos e Ambientes de Aprendizagem
Neste capÃtulo, são abordados temas relativos à criação de conteúdos para ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem. Numa primeira análise crÃtica, procura-se contrariar a ênfase exagerada nas caracterÃsticas técnicas dos ambientes multimédia e do pouco interesse normalmente dedicado aos processos de interacção e à s necessidades reais do utilizador individual. As variáveis intrÃnsecas ao perfil cognitivo do aprendente e ao processo individual de aprendizagem, bem como as variáveis rel

Looking At Learning...Again, Part 2
This classroom video footage encourages you to analyze existing theories about how children learn, as well as your own beliefs, and then examine how those beliefs might influence your teaching.,Students try to cut a sheet of notebook paper to make a "truss" as light as possible but still able to support two separate one-pound weights hanging from it.

Essential Science for Teachers: Life Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,The segment provides information about commonly held ideas that students have about why organisms have certain traits. Many misconceptions about heredity are revealed.
Looking at Learning ...Again, Part 1: Workshop 2. Intellectual Development
Explore the power of the mind and consider the notion that every child can learn everything. Harvard Professor Eleanor Duckworth discusses the importance of teaching for a deep and lasting understanding and explains why it is important to give students time to work through their own ideas and experience confusion in order to achieve such understanding.,In this clip, teachers are reflecting on their own learning experiences and whether they would have learned better if they had been told the term
Science in Focus: Shedding Light on Science: Workshop 7. Sun and Seasons
Light energy from the Sun is absorbed all over the Earth. In this workshop we will examine how the transformed energy heats the Earth unevenly, causing seasons.,Explains the cycle of seasons on the Earth using a variety of models.
Looking at Learning ... Again, Part 2 Workshop 1. Behind the Design
With Philip Sadler, Ed.D. Young children are natural designers and builders, but if their interest is not fostered, it may wane as they move through the grades. This workshop focuses on the use of simple design prototypes that children are asked to improve upon in order to meet a particular challenge. You will see these design challenges in action in middle school classrooms, as well as hear teachers discuss their experiences using designs with their students.,Phil Sadler, a science education re
Science in Focus: Shedding Light on Science: Workshop 7. Sun and Seasons
Light energy from the Sun is absorbed all over the Earth. In this workshop we will examine how the transformed energy heats the Earth unevenly, causing seasons.,The segment examines how the sun's path in the sky changes with the seasons, and how the tilt of the Earth's axis affects the number of daylight hours for people at different latitudes throughout the year.
Essential Science for Teachers: Life Science: Session 5. Variation, Adaptation, and Natural Selectio
What causes variation among a population of living things? How can variation in one generation influence the next generation? In this session, variation in a population will be examined as the “raw material” upon which natural selection acts.,Students use B. rappa to study plant variation in height. The questions posed to students are, "What causes the variation in plant height? What are some advantages of tall and short plants?" The students collect data and look at the mean, mode, etc.
Looking at Learning ... Again, Part 2: Workshop 6. Algebra and Calculus: The Challenge
Professor Kaput of the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, studies childrenÂ’s understanding of algebra and calculus. Historically, these topics have presented students with significant problems, and we tend to see it as a given that children will struggle with them. Kaput finds many ways of embedding algebra and calculus concepts into the curriculum much earlier in the school experience so that children are no longer asked to think about them as separate from their prior mathematics work.,I
Looking At Learning ...Again, Part 2: Workshop 4. Conceptual Change
With Dr. Peter Hewson. In this workshop, we explore the role played by prior knowledge in the learning of new science ideas. Only when a new idea is understood, accepted, and found to be useful does it begin to be exchanged for a previously held scientific belief. The workshop examines how teachersÂ’ ideas about teaching and learning may be altered as they engage students in strategies designed to promote conceptual change.,This interview discusses the conceptual change model, in particular that

Science in Focus: Force and Motion: Workshop 8. Bend and Stretch
We all expect a spring to stretch or compress when a force is applied, but forces can even deform solid objects like the floor or the top of a table. In this workshop, students in a high school classroom explore ideas about tension and normal force. By applying a force to a spring and measuring the distance the spring is stretched, the students calculate the force constant or stretchiness of the spring. Lecture demonstrations using student volunteers help to illustrate that even rigid objects be
Looking a Learning... Again, Part 2 Workshop 3. Learning To Share Perspectives
With Dr. Carne Barnett. Often teachers complain that they do not have ample opportunity to talk with colleagues about their studentsÂ’ mathematical reasoning. In this workshop, you will learn about professional development based on the discussion of cases in mathematics teaching. Dr. Barnett describes this case approach, and a long-term teacher group is shown at work. The development of cases for children in elementary and middle school mathematics classes is highlighted as an evolving approach
