The purpose of this study was to pilot the DREAMS (Desire, Readiness, Empowerment, Action, and Mastery for Success) program, a community-collaborative, after-school intervention program designed specifically to address the holistic developmental needs of students at school. The author originally developed and implemented the program in Kerala, India, and later redesigned it for American school students. Combining the theories of Vygotsky and Erikson, the DREAMS model emphasizes the impact of the community on the development of children. This study evaluates the effects of a summer camp, the primary intervention of a three-year program, on the self-worth, self-esteem, and self-concept of 20 middle school students in Northeast Louisiana. After students attended the week-long program, the most significant improvements were observed in self-esteem and self-worth. Further longitudinal or comparative experimental research on the complete design would provide stronger evidence to draw more substantive conclusions.
本研究的目的是试行 DREAMS(渴望、准备、授权、行动和掌握成功)计划,这是一项社区合作的课后干预计划,专门针对在校学生的全面发展需求而设计。作者最初在印度喀拉拉邦开发并实施了该计划,后来又针对美国学校的学生进行了重新设计。结合维果茨基和埃里克森的理论,DREAMS 模式强调社区对儿童发展的影响。本研究评估了夏令营对路易斯安那州东北部 20 名中学生的自我价值、自尊和自我概念的影响,夏令营是一项为期三年的计划的主要干预措施。学生们参加了为期一周的活动后,自尊和自我价值得到了最显著的改善。对完整设计的进一步纵向或比较实验研究将提供更有力的证据,从而得出更具实质性的结论。

Prior research underscores the pivotal role high school freshman grade-point averages (FGPA) play in college enrollment, with a focus predominantly on urban settings. This study broadens this perspective, employing a diverse Arkansas sample (n = 33,207), spanning rural, suburban, and urban high school students and filling a notable literature gap. Utilizing a logit analysis, we found that high school students with an A FGPA were 23% more likely to enroll in college than B FGPA peers. Those failing a course in their high school freshman year were 13% less likely to enroll in college. Among similar academic ability students, economically disadvantaged students were 15% less likely to enroll in college. Locale classifications showed no significant enrollment variations. We conclude that FGPA and socioeconomic status (SES) are stronger enrollment predictors than locale classifications, finishing with intervention recommendations for lower-SES students in exploring college options.
先前的研究强调了高中新生平均学分绩点(FGPA)在大学入学率中的关键作用,这些研究主要集中在城市环境中。本研究拓宽了这一视角,采用了阿肯色州的一个多样化样本(n = 33207),涵盖了农村、郊区和城市的高中生,填补了一个显著的文献空白。通过对数分析,我们发现 FGPA 为 A 的高中生进入大学的可能性比 FGPA 为 B 的高中生高出 23%。在高中一年级有一门课程不及格的学生进入大学的几率要低 13%。在学习能力相近的学生中,经济条件较差的学生进入大学的可能性要低 15%。地区分类没有显示出明显的入学差异。我们的结论是,FGPA 和社会经济地位(SES)比地区分类更能预测学生的入学率,最后还为社会经济地位较低的学生提供了探索大学选择的干预建议。

Discussion of Black Language Within the Context of Bilingual Pedagogy 双语教学法背景下的黑人语言讨论
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-18 DOI: 10.32674/jsard.v9i1.4824
Steven Sharp
The author examines some of the critical issues raised by Baker-Bell (2020a) about language education in the United States. The challenges associated with linguistic justice are related to a history of linguistic discrimination in the United States, which many sources have documented and affected many different linguistic backgrounds and peoples. This research inspired her to develop an antiracist Black language pedagogy that assists students in understanding their position in white linguistic hegemony. The author evaluates some of the ideas of Black language pedagogy, explicitly focusing on the requirements of administrators in K-12 education. Additionally, the author contrasts Baker-Bell’s ideas to translanguaging and how heteroglossic pedagogies are used to develop bilingual and bicultural students similar to the concepts of García (2009). The author then discusses how the ideas of heteroglossic language pedagogies, Black language pedagogy, and translanguaging could inform each other.
作者探讨了贝克-贝尔(2020a)就美国语言教育提出的一些关键问题。与语言公正相关的挑战与美国的语言歧视历史有关,许多资料都记录了这段历史,它影响了许多不同的语言背景和民族。这项研究启发她开发了一种反种族主义的黑人语言教学法,帮助学生了解他们在白人语言霸权中的地位。作者对黑人语言教学法的一些观点进行了评估,明确侧重于 K-12 教育中对管理者的要求。此外,作者还将贝克-贝尔的观点与翻译语言学进行了对比,并对比了异语法教学法是如何用于培养双语和双文化学生的,这与加西亚(2009 年)的观点类似。然后,作者讨论了异质语言教学法、黑人语言教学法和翻译语言学的理念如何相互借鉴。

Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-18 DOI: 10.32674/jsard.v9i1.3991
Sonja Lopez, Julie Combs
A school district’s need to satisfy the school community’s expectations for current, accurate information and manage a social media presence has increased the necessity for superintendents to employ public relations professionals. As such, these professionals are a recent addition to many school districts’ administrative teams. However, few research studies were located that focused on public relations professionals or communication directors in public schools. The purpose of this literature review was to identify empirical studies and professional association resources that provided historical, contextual, and relevant information about communication directors in school districts. Based on the findings, we uncovered three themes related to the history, roles and responsibilities, and standards for public relations professionals. Such information can help practitioners support communication functions and help researchers identify needed lines of inquiry.
校区需要满足学校社区对最新、准确信息的期望,并管理社交媒体的存在,这就增加了校长聘用公共关系专业人员的必要性。因此,这些专业人员是最近才加入许多学区行政团队的。然而,很少有研究关注公立学校的公共关系专业人员或传播主管。这次文献回顾的目的是找出一些实证研究和职业协会资源,这些研究和资源提供了关于学区传 播总监的历史,背景和相关信息。根据研究结果,我们发现了三个与公共关系职业人的历史,角色和责任以及标准相关的主题。这些信息可以帮助实践者支持传播职能,帮助研究者确定所需的研究方向。

COVID-19 as a Window for Equity-Oriented School Leadership COVID-19 作为以公平为导向的学校领导力的窗口
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-18 DOI: 10.32674/jsard.v9i1.5598
Mario Jackson
This essay argues that principals' capacity to advance equity might have been constrained by pre-COVID conditions. Drawing on the emerging literature on school leadership during the pandemic, the current article discusses how principals' capacity to advance equity was expanded as a result of the window of opportunities created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the increased frequency at which schools experience crises, understanding these opportunities may allow stakeholders to better support principals' efforts to enact equity-oriented leadership practices. Implications for leadership preparation, school funding, accountability policies, and future research are discussed.
本文认为,校长促进公平的能力可能受到了 COVID 前条件的限制。本文借鉴了有关大流行病期间学校领导力的新兴文献,讨论了校长促进公平的能力如何因 COVID-19 大流行病创造的机会之窗而得到扩展。鉴于学校经历危机的频率越来越高,了解这些机会可以让利益相关者更好地支持校长们制定以公平为导向的领导实践。本文讨论了对领导力准备、学校资金、问责政策和未来研究的影响。

Amber O'Shea, Cailen O’Shea
This study sought to identify how first-grade students in one Midwest state cognized hope. Using a case-study research method, the authors identify recommendations for practice that draw on the alignment between developing hope in students through school leadership. Previous research has highlighted school leadership's significant role in multiple pathways for student success. This study demonstrates that young children can cognize abstract topics such as hope and presents ways educational leaders can support student social-emotional well-being in the daily curriculum through hope education.

K-12 Teachers’ Implementation of Standards-Based Grading in the Classroom: A Quantitative Study K-12教师在课堂上实施标准评分:一个定量研究
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-26 DOI: 10.32674/jsard.v8i2.5565
Olha Ketsman, Todd Reeves
Standards-based grading (SBG) is a grading system in which each student is given a set of grades, each reflecting their proficiency in relation to a specific skill. The present study examined K-12 teachers’ implementation of SBG practices in a small, suburban Illinois district, as well as their perceptions and confidence in implementing SBG. It also examined these teachers’ prior formal and informal opportunities to learn about SBG, and how both pre-service and in-service opportunities to learn relate to their implementation of SBG grading. Results provide evidence of mixed levels of teacher SBG implementation, mixed teacher perceptions of SBG, and mixed teacher confidence in implementing such practices. In addition, the study finds that teachers’ opportunities to learn about SBG practices were extremely limited. However, both pre-service and in-service opportunities to learn about SBG related to SBG implementation and these relationships were mediated by teachers’ confidence in implementing SBG.
基于标准的评分(SBG)是一种评分系统,在这种评分系统中,每个学生都有一组分数,每个分数都反映了他们在某一特定技能方面的熟练程度。本研究调查了伊利诺伊州郊区一个小地区的K-12教师实施SBG实践的情况,以及他们对实施SBG的看法和信心。结果提供了证据,证明教师的自我取向取向实施水平不同,教师对自我取向取向的看法不同,教师对实施此类实践的信心也不同。然而,教师在职前和职中学习自我认同的机会与自我认同实施的关系,以及教师对自我认同实施的信心都是中介关系。

This essay is in response to the need for schools to move from crisis to adaptation. The essay is informed by the question: how might school leaders use conversation to effectively engage adaptation? Adaptation is about transforming systems. We find that with adaptation as the aim, Transformative Leadership Conversation can be used to guide schools from crisis response to adaptation. The essay lays out suggestions in a theory of action for how school leaders can use conversation to move from crisis to adaptation. These suggestions include the use of framing, questioning, and listening.

Social Network Analysis as a Driver of Continuous Improvement 社会网络分析作为持续改进的驱动力
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-26 DOI: 10.32674/jsard.v8i2.5344
Matthew Courtney, Kelly Foster
Social network analysis (SNA) is a research method that, when applied to improvement science, can help leaders understand the strength of relationships within their organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on organizational norms, and it has interrupted relationship building efforts. This paper documents a case study of the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), which deployed SNA techniques to strategically identify areas of growth within its network and design intentional, targeted solutions to improve the network health. As organizations emerge from the pandemic environment and begin to plan continuous improvement efforts, they would be well served to examine the impact of the pandemic on their level of connectedness. The broader impact and generalizability of the case study as well as considerations for replication are also discussed.
社会网络分析(SNA)是一种研究方法,当应用于改进科学时,可以帮助领导者了解组织内关系的强度。2019冠状病毒病大流行对组织规范产生了持久影响,并中断了建立关系的努力。本文记录了肯塔基州教育部(KDE)的一个案例研究,该部门部署了SNA技术,从战略上确定其网络中的增长领域,并设计有意的、有针对性的解决方案,以改善网络健康。随着各组织摆脱大流行环境并开始规划持续改进工作,它们将很有必要审查大流行对其连通性水平的影响。还讨论了案例研究的更广泛的影响和概括性以及复制的注意事项。

The aim of this current research was to investigate airborne fungi in indoor environments at primary schools. The study also examined the correlation between these fungi and building characteristics, as well as some geographical and meteorological parameters. To achieve this aim, a passive sampling method was used. In this study, 148 samples were collected from the indoor environments of 24 schools located in Qom, Iran. To collect the samples, passive sampling was performed using Petri plates containing Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA). The characteristics of school buildings were evaluated by checklist. The mean ± SD fungal load of indoor air in selected schools was found to be 10.1 ± 14.0 colonies (CFU/dm2/ h). According to the IMA standard, the majority of the classes (71.7%) were in very good condition. The dominant species were as follows: Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus candidus, and Aspergillus flavus. Furthermore, the fungal load of girls’ schools was significantly higher than that of the boys' schools (p < .05). The correlation analysis using the Pearson test showed that there was a direct correlation between the mean fungal load of classrooms and the number of students (p < .01). The highest concentration of fungi was found on the ground floor and in poor ventilation conditions (p < .05). During the study, it was found that schools located in the western part of Qom, Iran, had a higher concentration of fungi. This can be attributed to their exposure to the prevailing winds and the penetration of outdoor dusty air into indoor environments. The large number of students in each class and the inappropriate ventilation, which are the causes of airborne culturable fungi of these classes, call for the need for proper operation of school buildings.
本研究的目的是调查小学室内环境中的空气传播真菌。该研究还调查了这些真菌与建筑特征之间的关系,以及一些地理和气象参数。为了达到这一目的,采用了被动采样方法。本研究从伊朗库姆的24所学校的室内环境中收集了148个样本。为了收集样品,使用含有Sabouraud葡萄糖琼脂(SDA)的培养皿进行被动取样。采用清单法对学校建筑特征进行评价。所选学校室内空气真菌负荷平均值±SD为10.1±14.0菌落(CFU/dm2/ h),按IMA标准,绝大多数班级(71.7%)状况良好。优势种为黑曲霉、白曲霉和黄曲霉。此外,女校的真菌负荷显著高于男校(p <. 05)。Pearson检验的相关分析显示,教室平均真菌负荷与学生人数之间存在直接相关(p <. 01)。真菌浓度最高的地方是一楼和通风条件差的地方(p <. 05)。在研究过程中,发现位于伊朗库姆西部的学校真菌浓度较高。这可归因于他们暴露于盛行风和室外含尘空气渗透到室内环境。每个班级的学生人数多,通风不适当,这是这些班级空气可培养真菌的原因,要求学校建筑需要适当的操作。
{"title":"Airborne Culturable Fungi in Primary Schools","authors":"Reza Fouladi-Fard, Najmeh Vaezi, Amir Hossein Mahvi, Mohsen Zohrab Beigi","doi":"10.32674/jsard.v8i2.4319","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32674/jsard.v8i2.4319","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of this current research was to investigate airborne fungi in indoor environments at primary schools. The study also examined the correlation between these fungi and building characteristics, as well as some geographical and meteorological parameters. To achieve this aim, a passive sampling method was used. In this study, 148 samples were collected from the indoor environments of 24 schools located in Qom, Iran. To collect the samples, passive sampling was performed using Petri plates containing Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA). The characteristics of school buildings were evaluated by checklist. The mean ± SD fungal load of indoor air in selected schools was found to be 10.1 ± 14.0 colonies (CFU/dm2/ h). According to the IMA standard, the majority of the classes (71.7%) were in very good condition. The dominant species were as follows: Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus candidus, and Aspergillus flavus. Furthermore, the fungal load of girls’ schools was significantly higher than that of the boys' schools (p < .05). The correlation analysis using the Pearson test showed that there was a direct correlation between the mean fungal load of classrooms and the number of students (p < .01). The highest concentration of fungi was found on the ground floor and in poor ventilation conditions (p < .05). During the study, it was found that schools located in the western part of Qom, Iran, had a higher concentration of fungi. This can be attributed to their exposure to the prevailing winds and the penetration of outdoor dusty air into indoor environments. The large number of students in each class and the inappropriate ventilation, which are the causes of airborne culturable fungi of these classes, call for the need for proper operation of school buildings.","PeriodicalId":36489,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Administration Research and Development","volume":"62 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134909303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
