(more)
▼ What stakeholders learn from the evaluation process beyond the evaluation findings was first defined by Patton (1997) as process use. That learning is generated from stakeholders’ engagement in the evaluation process and will occur even with non-collaborative and non-participatory evaluation approaches. In this study, the researcher attempted to differentiate process use from other evaluation use concepts. There were two research aims. The first was to understand how evaluators defined the construct of process use by making distinctions among examples of stakeholder behavior to identify what in their estimation were illustrations of process use. The second aim was to identify the different types of process use which emerged when stakeholders reflected on their participation in evaluation activities in three evaluation contexts. These stakeholders were personnel from a prevention program, educators, and student nurses. To respond to the subjectivity which shaped individual perspectives of evaluation experiences, the researcher employed Q methodology in the study. This mixed methodological approach has systematic procedures for incorporating participants’ perspectives and making them the focus of the analysis. While some evaluators identified illustrations of process use which demonstrated their strong conceptual alignment with Patton, the findings illuminated three other perceptions held by evaluators: process use includes the use of findings; process use is synonymous with process evaluation; and process use is the same as instrumental evaluation use. To collect the data from the stakeholders, the researcher developed and piloted a tool which can sensitize evaluators to the presence of process use because it helped stakeholders to talk about what they learned from evaluation activities. The findings also showed how the impact of different contextual variables shaped the types of process use which emerged. The findings also showed how the same type of process use can be demonstrated in different examples of stakeholder behavior. These findings can provide some basis for the eventual measurement and report of process use with the aim of helping evaluators do better work.

▼ This research explored the personal understanding of spirituality of 14 high school teachers and how their sense of spirituality influenced the ways in which they interacted with their students. Using the method of Qualitative Description, data were collected in individual interviews with each of the teachers and their responses were categorized. None of the participants was known by the researcher prior to the interview, including their spiritual or religious backgrounds or practices. In addition to the interviews, field notes and a reflective journal added to the understanding and the analyses of the data. Teachers were able and willing to discuss their personal spirituality, how it related to religion, and how they navigated the mandates of the separation of church and state in the public high school setting. The major categories discovered in the conversations with the teachers regarding the ways spirituality influenced their teaching were in their relationships with students and in their acts and roles of nurturing. Within the major category of nurturing, teachers spoke about respect, kindness and caring, accountability, altruism, self-reflection, guidance, motivation, creating safety, counseling, modeling, openness, and compassion. Teachers also discussed their perceptions of calling to be teachers. An additional layer was discovered in the teachers’ responses related to caring for their students; it was not enough that teachers simply cared, but it was also important that students knew that they cared. Among these participants, spirituality was described as an important and active part of their teaching; yet, teachers noted that the discussion of spirituality and public education was not something they experienced in teacher education or in their schools. Several threads for further research are noted. One of the unintended limitations of the project was the demographic make-up of the participants. Further research could select participants with more diversity regarding race, ethnicity, and religious background. Another area to explore relates to the importance that students need to know that teachers care. This category revealed that some of the teachers in this study believed that many of their students’ home environs were lacking in guidance and support. This may merit further exploration.

▼ This basic interpretive qualitative study used individual semi-structured interviews to explore and understand the experiences of seven self-identified Latina participants, who reside in Northeast Ohio and belong to a volunteer organization promoting professional Latinas. The study used Latina Critical Race theory and feminist perspectives to focus on various influences impacting the participants��™ experiences in higher education, career, and leadership roles, besides exploring the impact of gender, ethnicity, and culture on their experiences within dominant mainstream settings. The research also examines how the Latinas��™ perceptions of educators and administrators influenced their academic and professional choices. The results of this study suggest that perceived stereotypes and marginalization negatively influence immigrant to 1.5G or second generation Latinas��™ ability to experience higher education as an inclusive environment. Acculturative stress, ethnic identity, family values and English language proficiency also impact their pursuit of higher education, career, and leadership roles in different ways. The concept of enacting brio, its associated traits and personal work ethic allow Latinas to resist influences that discourage their academic and professional goals. Additionally, the study found that Latinas act as change agents by using positive introspection and transformative resistance to continuously challenge the existing discriminatory status quo. Transformational leadership emerged as an overarching theme for all seven participants, who use this strategy to foster a sense of community and collaboration with peers. A major finding of this study, that requires further exploration, is the perceived negative relationship between Latinas and institution leaders, educators and administrators as they strive for success.

(more)
▼ The purpose of this study is to analyze legislation and case law regarding sexual relationships between American secondary school students and their teachers. Chapter one provides an introduction to the study, and chapter two reviews relevant literature. In chapter three, codes of criminal and administrative law are reviewed to determine which sexual relationships between educators and students are permissible and prohibited in each state. Federal statutes, including Title IX of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 and § 1983 of Title 42 of the United States Code, are reviewed to determine how federal law applies to sexual relationships between teachers and students. Next, case law is reviewed to determine how state and federal courts have ruled regarding sexual relationships between teachers and students. While the primary focus of the dissertation is sexual relationships between teachers and students, case law related to sexual relationships between students and other school employees is reviewed as well. In chapter four, the dissertation reviews state and federal court cases in which employees terminated for engaging in sexual relationships with students filed suit against their former employers or state boards of education alleging wrongful termination or other adverse employment action. In chapter five, the dissertation reviews state and federal court cases in which students who engaged in sexual relationships with educators filed suit alleging various rights violations by the school district. In chapter six the study analyzes the trends of the judicial rulings. Generally, in wrongful termination claims, courts tended to support schools if they provided due process to terminated employees. In student suits against school districts alleging Title IX or § 1983 violations, courts tended to support schools that did not display deliberate indifference to actual knowledge of sexual harassment or display a custom or policy that promotes harassment. Finally, the study provides a primer for school administrators. The primer discusses warning signs of sexual harassment, offers tips for school administrators to prevent sexual relationships between employees and students, and gives guidance to school administrators to respond properly when such relationships come to light.

▼ The objective of this study was to investigate how member involvement, service quality, and perceived value, influence member satisfaction and intention to renew membership for members of private country clubs. An online survey instrument customized for the country club industry was distributed to members of two country clubs in the Northeast Ohio area. To obtain data, survey questionnaires were e-mailed to members. From the results of this study it can be seen that involvement, service quality, and perceived value impact country club members’ satisfaction and intention to renew their membership. Research results could help country clubs implement effective strategies for developing member loyalty programs.

(more)
▼ Incorporating the concept of the first 100 days, referenced mainly when discussing government and business leaders, this study aimed to understand the transition experience of middle school principals, during their first 100 days, in public schools in Ohio who have led their current schools to improvement. Research centered on the experiences of these principals, actions implemented by these principals, external and internal circumstances and individuals that influenced those actions, their perceptions of how those actions influenced their schools’ future improvement, and the perceptions of the principals regarding effective transitions. Participants for the study were 10 middle school principals who had been in their current position for less than four full years and whose schools had shown improvement on the state report card based on an increased designation during their leadership. The study was informed by grounded theory methodology regarding data collection and analysis, in order to develop a framework of the transition into the middle school principalship that was grounded in the data. The data revealed a transformation process: positioning self into the new principal role, establishing self in the new principal role, and transforming self from the new principal to the principal. Within each phase of the transformation process, these principals’ experiences included their transformation focus, as they reflected on and attended to themselves, others, and the middle school. This transition framework may prove useful in informing practice and policy regarding leadership transitions for current and future middle school principals, as well as schools, districts, and administrative organizations.

▼ Current research on consumers’ perceptions and beliefs of green hotels is lacking (Lee et al., 2010) although benefits including reduced operating costs and increased consumer demand are well documented. The primary objectives of this study are to identify consumer beliefs about green hotels, values, willingness to pay, willingness to stay, and willingness to partake in environmentally friendly activities. Study participants were faculty and staff members employed by one college within a mid-western university. Information on consumer beliefs will help hotel managers make pricing decisions and design environmentally sustainable activities that guests may participate in.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation was to understand the influence of Dr. Harry Dexter Kitson on the fields of vocational psychology, vocational guidance and subsequently on college career advising. As an early practitioner of vocational guidance, Dr. Kitson held the view that individuals could conduct self analysis of their interests using occupational information and "trying out" to explore and chose vocations. During the same time, other prominent vocational psychologists were developing vocational tests to assess interests and make vocational choice more scientific. These contrasting views were based on two different understandings of the self. Kitson‘s interpretation of self was based on the teaching of James Rowland Angell, a student of Dewey, who believed that the self was not static but changed with experience while those who advocated vocational testing held a scientific view of self as an object with traits that could be tested and identified. Analysis of texts related to these differing paradigms was conducted in order to understand their roots. By reading college career websites in Ohio, it was concluded that college career advisers often confuse the two counseling paradigms. Although Kitson is not recognized as the source for contemporary career advising strategies, most career advisers in liberal arts colleges embrace the philosophy of self analysis he advocated as they encourage students to learn about themselves, explore career information online and gain experience through internships.

(more)
▼ The purpose of this study was to explore views of teachers and parents regarding school violence in Turkey. The primary research question was What do teachers and parents know about school violence in Turkey? Secondary questions were as follows: What do teachers and parents say about school violence in Turkey? How do they describe it? What factors do teachers and parents identify as the primary causes of school violence in Turkey? Data were generated through semistructured interviews and analyzed for emerging themes. Findings revealed the following: (a) Although teachers and parents cited violence in schools as a problem, they trivialized it as innocent joking resulting from immaturity. (b) Participants identified families other than their own as the major cause of school violence, followed by media and environment. Cultural change and conflict were identified less frequently; neither has been addressed in the literature on violence in Turkish schools. (c) Participants stated that sexual violence had become a problem that is at least discussed in their schools, ending the unfortunate silence and shame previously endured by female victims. (d) Teachers and parents asserted that girl-on-girl psychological violence in Turkish schools causes harm more destructive than boy-on-boy physical fighting. No previous studies have focused on violence among Turkish females. (e) Teachers and parents described types of school violence differently, depending on the socioeconomic status (SES) of the school. Implications for future research emerged from this study. (a) Because familial problems and parenting styles were identified as major factors in preventing or condoning school violence, future research should include families as participants. (b) Future researchers should also consider the role of cultural conflict in school violence. (c) They should examine the role of cultural change and degeneration. (d) Future researchers should address the frequency and level of sexual violence among students in Turkish schools. (e) Policy restrictions precluded students’ perspectives; however, their inclusion would enhance future studies. (f) In general, Turkish education literature would benefit from additional qualitative and quantitative studies to amass baseline data and develop theory to inform the development of policy on school violence in Turkey.

▼ The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid survey instrument to measure student perceptions of the outdoor physical campus environment. Using campus planning and environments literature and expert consultation, a survey instrument was developed to measure student satisfaction with the outdoor campus environment and the importance they attributed to the outdoor campus environment. The instrument contained items focused on elements of the outdoor campus environment derived from the literature along with specific items identified by experts in campus planning and consulting. Campus architecture professionals engaged in expert review of the instrument to ensure it satisfied the content standard for validity. Prior to survey deployment, student focus groups and cognitive interviews were utilized to ensure the instrument could be understood and readily answered by the field test sample. Feedback from students provided strong evidence for response process validity. The survey was deployed between September and November of 2011 to 7,978 students at eight public universities in Ohio. Results of the validity and reliability analysis indicated that the Outdoor Physical Campus Assessment collected valid and reliable student perception data for the field test administration. xxx

(more)
▼ Treating education as a socially transformative and morally conscious enterprise calls for educators to expose and improve social conditions related to oppression. These beliefs herald a different kind of practice for teachers and administrators in public schools, a practice that deals directly with dilemmas of equity and pluralism. Limited understanding of what happens in the interest of achieving equity in our schools warrants investigation into the experience of the school principals who lead and live this charge. The purpose of this study was to find out how elementary school principals interpret and address issues of equity in their practices. Complicated questions related to social mechanisms and human experience call for a framework that accounts for human agency and variability, rather than eliminating them (English, 2006). This investigation sought the idiographic, contingent, and situated knowledge with which elementary school principals make sense of the charge for equity. Grounded theory method was used for this research. Three categories emerged from the data. Principals used an internal process to build recognition of equity; they made external efforts to educate others and engage them in equity work, and they addressed equity issues across procedural contexts of class placement, discipline, scheduling, and curriculum. Reconceptualizing gaps, witnessing and repositioning played substantive roles in addressing equity at school sites. The educators were aware that crucial breakthroughs in consciousness had as much to do with improving equity as did mandates and policies. They saw that sustaining changes for equity required attention to the operational structures of the school, and to the structures of consciousness by which those operations were conceived.

(more)
▼ In 1995, Arizona legislators passed laws specifically to implement charter schools in Arizona. Approving 15 year charters (i.e., contracts), allowing charter schools to cross school district boundaries, and requiring the charter schools to administer the state assessment are three of the many charter school statutes written into law. In 2010, those initial charters are expiring. The variation in school practices that occur between charter schools is great as reported by researchers nationwide. This difference does not stop at the borders of Arizona; some Arizona charter schools are labeled as excelling in performance while others are labeled as underperforming. There is limited research of Arizona charter schools and the variance that exists among them. There were two purposes for this dissertation. The first purpose was to analyze the influence of school practices and student characteristics on charter middle school students’ mathematics and reading performance at grade 8. The second purpose was to assess those influences over time (i.e., 2007-2009). The assessment used was Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) which remained stable during this span of time. Multiple imputations were performed for missing data. Hierarchical linear cross-classified random effects modeling (HLM/CCREM) was used to assess the data while taking student mobility into consideration. The results showed that the effect of teacher experience influenced lower achieving students, that teachers teaching out of their area of expertise had a negative effect on mathematics and reading achievement of students, and attending a charter school that was converted from a traditional public school has an advantage in Arizona. An indicator of whether a student was attending a charter school in 2006 (prior to the time period of this study) was added to the model and showed that students scored higher in mathematics and reading if they also attend a charter school in 2006. All factors assessed in this study were accounted for even if they didn’t remain in the model due to fit statistics. These results will contribute to the field of education by providing empirical evidence of the effects of charter school practices on student achievement.

▼ The purpose of the study was to uncover the cultural beliefs and values that underlie American and Russian teachers’ representations of their professional identities and their understanding of power in education in the context of globally disseminated education reforms and current educational mandates— the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) in America and the Unified State Exam of 2001 (USE) in Russia —through examining discourses that manifested themselves in their talk. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) was used both as a strategy of inquiry and a theoretical framework for analysis and interpretation of data. Primary sources of data were semi-structured informal interviews of 11 American teachers from a Midwestern state in the United States and 11 Russian teachers from a Mid-Volga region Republic in Russia. Observations of teacher lessons were included in the study to see what discourses manifested themselves in their actual behavior in reality of classrooms. In addition, for the purpose of checking “analysis with a different group” (Wood & Kroger, 2000, p. 79), three American and three Russian administrators, as well as three Russian teachers and three American Peace Corps volunteers who had been exposed to both systems of education were interviewed. The findings revealed that teachers employed a number of discourses generated in relation to the Bright Future, Communism Discourse model, in the Russian case, and a number of discourses generated in relation to the American Dream Discourse model, in the American case, to (re)construct, contest, and negotiate their teacher identities in the context of educational reforms.

▼ Hotels that provide inadequate training exacerbate staff turnover. This is particularly true for part-time employees who make up 25% of the labor force in the hospitality industry. The purpose of this research is to study the effects of training and select employee motivators including incentives and benefits on part-time hotel employees’ job satisfaction and overall job commitment. Data were collected using survey methodology from part-time employees at four different properties in Northeast Ohio. Data was analyzed to determine connections between training and job commitment. Results can help hotel managers design effective training programs and offer incentives that part-time employees value most in order to reduce turnover.

▼ The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of admission standards that have been used for undergraduate allied health and nursing programs. Five professions met the initial criteria including the awarding of a 2- or 4-year degree, a national board examination administered upon program completion, and published research covering entrance standards. The professions are: dental hygiene, medical technology, registered nursing, radiologic technology, and respiratory therapy. Random-format meta-analysis was used to evaluate 28 years of research gathered from both published and unpublished documents. Length of time used for data collection was defined by published research using outcome parameters, including national board examinations. Forty-eight studies resulted in 230 comparable effect size variables. Twenty-one predictors were identified in the research and were measured against 4 criterion variables. ACT English, entrance grade point average, and biology were statistically significant predictors for all 5 professions. While no predictors had a shared variance across all professions, 8 predictors resulted in shared variance when moderators were considered. These included: ACT English, math, science, and social science; chemistry; entrance grade point average; SAT verbal; and a specialized test, the AHPAT. Each of these measures used board scores as the criterion measure. Moderators included the length of time used to gather data, year of study or publication, whether the study was published, and the profession. Profession had the largest effect on the statistical significance of the predictors. Two- and 4-year programs were identified as subgroups. Considering the moderator, profession, only 2 predictors were affected by the subgroups: entrance grade point average in Medical Technology and ACT science in Registered Nursing.

▼ The purpose of this investigation was to build the blueprint of Taiwanese public higher education’s fundraising. This study applied three surveys (NSH, NSC, and NSF) to three populations’ samples (public universities, corporations, and foundations in Taiwan) as well as qualitative interviews toward these three populations in order to explore Taiwan’s private organizations donations to higher education institutions. After fifteen months of data collections, this researcher obtained thirty-five samples out of fifty-five public universities, 151 survey samples and twenty-seven interview participants for Taiwanese corporations, and ninety-nine survey samples and twenty-one interview participants for Taiwanese foundations. The findings in this study suggested that corporations in Taiwan were inclined to give funds to public universities with the capacity to improve or strengthen companies’ benefit-obtaining potential; foundations in Taiwan have an affinity for supporting public higher education institutions with the function to enhance or perform social justices and values for them. The investigation data suggested that Taiwanese public universities’ fundraising people should balance their institutions in different field developments in order to further extend or outreach funding sources in diversity.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine higher education administrators’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the Academic Quality Improvement Project (AQIP) as compared to the Program to Evaluate and Advance Quality (PEAQ) within the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). The Higher Learning Commission (HLC), a commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Internal and external constituents pressure institutions of higher education to continuously account for and examine their processes, goals, and outcomes. Accreditation allows institutions to address their constituents by conducting self-assessments and receive critical peer evaluations through non-governmental agencies. These self-assessments and peer evaluations enable institutions to better understand and communicate institutional objectives and processes while continually engaging in institutional strategic planning. NCA member institutions currently holding an accredited status following AQIP and institutions following PEAQ were surveyed to determine comparisons between the processes, stakeholder involvement, effect on strategic planning, effect on academic quality, and outcomes. As of August 28, 2008, the total number of AQIP and PEAQ institutions accredited within the NCA through the HLC was confirmed by Lil Nakutis, Information Management Coordinator at the HLC to be 190 AQIP and 819 PEAQ. The 190 AQIP institutions represent all the traditional classifications of higher education institutions with varying enrollments comparable to the PEAQ accredited institutions in the NCA. There are currently several hundred PEAQ accredited member institutions of the NCA. Of the PEAQ institutions, a stratified random sample of 190 institutions was selected. The survey sample was comprised of college or university presidents or other higher education administrators who either oversaw or were directly affiliated with the accreditation process at the AQIP and the PEAQ institutions. The letter of consent asked these institutional leaders to participate or to forward the survey link onto the individual on their campus that could best respond to the survey questions. A web-based survey was developed to gauge the participants’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the accreditation processes as it pertains to stakeholder involvement, continuous quality improvement of institutional operations and programs, and impact on institutional strategic planning. Descriptive statistics were run to compare means and standard deviations. A t-test was run to determine if there were statistically significant differences between administrators’ perceptions of the AQIP processes and impact on continuous quality improvement as compared to those processes and impacts of PEAQ. While no statistically significant differences existed between administrators’ perceptions, the results provided evidence that administrators at institutions within the NCA do perceive the overall regional accreditation process on their campus to be effective regardless of the type of accreditation used by their institution.

▼ Managing disruptive behaviors in schools is a high-ranking concern in communities across the country (Rose & Gallup, 2006). Unfortunately, the practice of instituting tougher and more severe consequences for increased discipline problems has not resulted in a decrease of disruptive behavior (Lewis & Garrison-Harrell, 1999; Safran & Oswald, 2003; Turnbell et al., 2002). Instead, schools and communities are now turning to alternative proactive strategies emphasizing positive behavior supports (PBS) and prevention. The leadership for changing a school-wide approach away from a punitive-style of discipline to a proactive, pro-social approach is not simply implementing a new idea; rather it is creating a cultural change. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the patterns of implementation of PBS and patterns of student behavior when PBS was implemented by a principal-led planning team and a coach-led planning team. The following overarching questions guided this study: (1) What does the implementation of PBS look like in buildings with principal-led planning teams and coach-led planning teams, and (2) What are the patterns of student behavior when PBS is implemented with a coach-led team, a principal-led team, and in buildings where PBS is not implemented? A descriptive case study approach was used to enable an in-depth description of archived documents detailing the implementation of PBS in four elementary schools in a large urban district in the Midwest. The analysis of the data revealed findings in three areas: (a) Principal-led and coach-led PBS teams implemented the key components of PBS in a similar sequence, although some of the components were implemented with greater quality by the coach-led teams; (b) patterns of student behavior were similar between the coach-led PBS schools and the principal-led PBS schools, except in the area of tardies; and (c) differences in patterns of student behavior were revealed between PBS schools and non-PBS schools.

▼ Using an inductive method, this case study seeks to give voice to recognized school finance experts throughout Ohio on the topic of the K-12 school funding formula. The research focuses on the experiences of superintendents, treasurers, professors, and organizational leaders who have navigated the state formula. The main thrust revolves around what these authority figures see as crucial issues and their ideas on how to possibly reform an unconstitutional method of funding Ohio’s schools. Data sources include interviews with 11 school funding experts at multiple sites, as well as any participating school district’s financial documents, and also state level task force reports. In order to build the study upon a solid structure, the data collection and analysis are guided by the tenants of interpretive, qualitative research and based upon the tenants of grounded theory. Understanding the voices and perceptions of recognized experts in the field of public school funding could be a significant piece in informing state officials, lobbyists, and educational stakeholders in the ongoing saga of Ohio’s school funding reform.

▼ The objective of this study was to identify strategies being used or planned by private club managers to recruit new members into private clubs, thereby enabling financial stability and the ability to maintain club facilities and amenities desired by members. Interview questions were developed for managers holding the titles of general manager, clubhouse manager, and membership director. To obtain data, the questions were presented to the private club managers during a recorded phone interview. Results of this study indicated that club managers were still using traditional strategies to recruit new members into the private club industry. This research can help club managers consider membership recruitment strategies needed to attract new members.

▼ The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of talent identification, development and succession within the 3M career field based on the perceptions of 3M Airmen and Senior Non-commissioned Officers. An extensive review of literature within the hospitality industry was conducted to examine implications that possibly crossover into military dining facilities. Research was reviewed in talent management, employee development programs, and succession planning in order to assess how managers are developed within an organization. Military development programs, policies, and procedures were reviewed to see what guidelines are currently being used. Two different online surveys were distributed to two groups of enlisted personnel within the 3M career field. The results from this study indicate enlisted members within the 3M career field believe talent identification occurs, Airmen and Non-commissioned Officers are mostly satisfied with employee development, and Senior Non-commissioned Officers believe there should be some improvements to the succession process.

▼ Educators play an important part in preparing students to understand and interact within a culturally diverse and interconnected world. Educators by their very profession are leaders. The word “educate” is derived from the Latin verb educare, meaning to lead out. Educators are responsible for the intellectual, moral and social instruction of their students. Culturally appropriate knowledge, behavior, and attitudes must be developed in both the educator and student of the 21st century. Despite this need to be more internationally minded, developing intercultural competence in pre-service educators is marginal at best. Developing intercultural competence is a life long journey. Accomplishing such growth means developing behavior, cognitive and affective skills which an enable an individual to interact effectively and appropriately with culturally diverse individuals or groups. Cultural immersion experience is one way for pre-service educators to develop intercultural competence. The theoretical basis for this study is the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS; Bennett, 1986, 1993). This study explored the development of intercultural competence of six pre-service educators through immersion experiences in unfamiliar milieux. This mixed methods study used data from the Intercultural Development Inventory, (Hammer & Bennett, 2007, 2009), a measure of intercultural sensitivity grounded in the DMIS, as a pretest, post-test and post-post test, application form, pre- and post experience questionnaires, interviews and journals to ascertain development. Findings from this study demonstrate that pre-serviced educators can benefit from developmentally effective immersion experiences. Several participants experienced a small gain in intercultural sensitivity as measured by the IDI after a regression upon re-entry. Intensive appropriate sequenced intercultural preparation prior, during, and after the immersion experience could enhance the impact of the experience on the intercultural competence development as measured by the IDI.

▼ Robinson, Sandy L., Ph.D., May 2012 Foundations, Leadership and Administration Community College Minority Males’ Perception of Success Strategies in Developmental Math (146 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Mark Kretovics, Ph.D. The number of students attending higher education institutions has increased across the nation over the past few decades. Nearly 46% of students chose to begin postsecondary education or technical training at a community college (American Association of Community Colleges, 2008). Accessibility and lower tuition have contributed to the enrollment growth at 2-year colleges. Consistently, however, fewer minority students graduate in comparison with the majority student population. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of minority males regarding their motivation to attend college, engagement on campus, how they felt they were perceived on the campus, and their views on the strategies used in success initiatives as it related to developmental math. The study sought to determine if there were differences in those factors based upon successful completion of the remedial math course, enrollment status, the institution of attendance, and age. Eighty-nine minority males representing three community colleges in Ohio participated in the research. The study findings suggest that minority males perceive themselves as engaged in the college environment, interacting well with faculty members, and having an overall positive experience on campus. Findings also suggest a need for colleges to provide resources, interaction opportunities, and communication as it pertains to their success.

▼ The objective of this study was to understand the images, perceptions of risk, and the overall interest to travel to China. By understanding different tourist styles, previous international travel experience, and knowledge of China, this research aims to provide a deeper insight into how people view China as a tourist destination. A survey instrument was designed for college students and was handed out at a mid-sized university in Northeast Ohio. Results of this study indicate that tourist style, previous international travel experience, and a high knowledge of China has a significant effect on reducing the amount of risk that a person has of China. This study also shows that there is a high amount of interest when it comes to traveling to China no matter what their tourist style, previous travel experience, and knowledge of China might be. Results from this study could be helpful by both travel marketers and universities to help design better trips to China.

▼ “Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization,” remarked the director of Helping Hooves(HH). This Non Profit Organization, like others, realizes the impact that volunteers make on the services they are able to provide for their clients. The purpose of this study was to explore participants’ perceptions of benefits derived from volunteering, personal characteristics, motivations for volunteering, pathways to volunteering, and impact and interactions within the client/volunteer/staff community. A qualitative narrative inquiry approach was used at a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) that provides equine-assisted therapy for its clients. The 22 participants in this study ranged from 14 to 82 years of age and had volunteered at the NPO from 9 months to 15 years. Five of the volunteers were individuals with disabilities. Data collection consisted of observations and impressions made by the researcher as a participant, and field note observations and reflections. Field notes were analyzed and participant interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed to reveal themes. The findings of this research addressed the volunteers’ pathways to arrival at HH, their self-identified qualities and characteristics, their perceptions of benefits received, their relationships within HH, their sense of community, and their reasons for continued volunteering at Helping Hooves. This thesis has implications for those NPO’s who provide services similar to Helping Hooves and others who wish to increase and maintain their volunteer base.

▼ This study is an inquiry into the possibilities and limitations of school consolidations. The study begins by exploring the history of school reorganization from the common school movement to the present. From this history we learn that unchallenged assumptions regarding school consolidations and efficiency and effectiveness gains have thrived. My research draws attention to the scarcity of post-consolidation studies that provide discernable evidence that either school or district consolidations have resulted in enhanced efficiencies or effectiveness. Difference-in-Difference (DiD) Estimation calculations were performed on national and state data looking for evidence that consolidations improved efficiencies or effectiveness. The results are inconclusive. Thrown into the mix of efficiency and effectiveness goals was consolidation for equity, which came into play in the 1960s. The study of consolidation through the lens of equity shows that desegregation and fiscal considerations have remained the foci of the pursuit of equal educational opportunity, for about fifty years. Looking at the Warren City School District’s consolidation experience over the past three decades, we see that consolidation based on the premise of educational equity has often resulted in upheaval for minority and economically disadvantaged children, their families, and their communities. The elusive concept of local control of schooling is examined to ascertain whether local control can act as a bulwark against consolidation efforts. We learn that there is no consensus concerning what local control means, at what level it exists, and who actually does the local controlling. Furthermore, we see that the state has extraordinary powers to wrest any local control that a community may enjoy. The study concludes with an exploration of the significance of neighborhood and local schools in struggling communities. Consolidation too often removes schools from the most fragile of communities, resulting in further degradation of poor and minority neighborhoods. The experience of the extinct Farmington School District and the boarded up West Farmington Elementary School provide insight into what happens to a community without a school.

▼ College student personnel (CSP) professional preparation program faculty are a unique group in higher education because their work spans both student affairs and academic affairs functions. The purpose of this Q methodology study was to explore the perspectives that full-time, tenure-track CSP faculty hold about full-time, tenure-track, non-CSP faculty. Specifically, this study examined what factors emerged when CSP faculty at Carnegie Classification Research Universities/High Research Activity institutions were asked to model their viewpoints about faculty via a Q sort. This process involved CSP faculty placing 36 statements about faculty and faculty life into a forced distribution grid representing the array of statements with which they most agreed to the statements with which they most disagreed. A total of 28 CSP faculty participated, with 18 completing the sorts in person and 10 completing the sorts online. Post-sort interviews with participants and demographic data were also collected. Q factor analysis of the sorts revealed two viewpoints about faculty. One viewpoint focuses on the professional contributions of faculty. The second factor focuses on the difficulties of academic life and the mixed successes faculty have in meeting the demands of their job. This study serves as a foundation for further research into perceptions about faculty among student affairs faculty and practitioners.

▼ The purpose of this study is to examine the congruity levels between tourists’ self-image (SI) and brand personality (BP) of youth hostel, and between self-image (SI) and perceptions of youth hostel guests (visitor image, VI). By understanding perceived images of youth hostel and the influences the images have on tourists’ intention to use youth hostels, this research aims to provide a deeper insight into symbolic consumption in tourism. A classic two-group experiment was designed for college students and was performed at a mid-sized university in Northeast Ohio. Results of the present study show that the brand personality of youth hostel is perceived as young, easy-going and friendly, and real, and that youth hostel guests are perceived to be young students who are traveling on a limited budget, and they are generally adaptable and open-minded. This study also indicates that the congruence levels between how a tourist looks at him- or herself and the perceived images of youth hostel have a significant influence on his/her intention to use youth hostels. The intervention of youth hostel brochures has a significant influence on tourists’ intention to stay in youth hostels, however, the influences on tourists’ self-image/perceived-image congruities are very limited. Results from this study could be helpful by both youth hostel managers and tourism marketer.

▼ The purpose of this study was the creation of an instrument to assess perceptions of job satisfaction for professional staff fulfilling the role of residence directors. With many costs associated with the exit of an employee (Cascio, 1987), it is hoped that the instrument may be used by the senior housing administrators to limit lateral turnover, whereby the exiting residence director is once again assuming a residence director position at a different institution. In this investigation the following research questions were asked: 1. Is the test score of the instrument reliable? 2. What are the instrument subscales? 3. What are the reliabilities of each subscale? 4. What are individual survey questions that should fall under each subscale? 5. What is the evidence of validity (construct and content) for the instrument?
