Embracing American Indian Ways of Educating: Restoring Culturally Embedded Practices While Building Pathways Towards Student Success

American Indian cultural traditions and practices are presented for their merit in promoting student learning within the K-12 educational system. Spe-cific culturally imbedded practices are provided as examples by which student learning can be enhanced while honoring First Nation’s teaching and learn-ing practices. Five developmental theorists noted in this concept paper speak to pedagogical practices that are in alignment with American Indian cultural orientations and that support their inherent value for application in the classroom. This paper asserts that by valuing and promoting American Indian culture and practices in the K-12 curriculum, that the United States would make greater strides in not only affect-ing the achievement gap, but in taking steps toward equity and achieving social justice goals

Cultura racional: da raiz da umbanda à negação da prática religiosa.

Essa dissertação tem como tema a Cultura Racional. Trata-se de um movimento criado na década de 1930, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro por um ex pai de santo umbandista Manoel Jacintho Coelho. A Cultura Racional apesar de apresentar características do discurso religioso, não se assume como religião. Assim, para compreendermos a sua peculiar ligação com o campo religioso brasileiro iremos, através dos conceitos presentes nas obras do Universo em Desencanto, da trajetória de Manoel e do fazer etnográfico, entender como se constrói a identidade do adepto da Cultura Racional. A pesquisa etnográfica foi realizada no Retiro Racional, localizado no Rio de Janeiro e na Praça Cívica, em Natal – Rio Grande do Norte.This dissertation has as its theme the Rational Culture. It is a movement created in the 1930s in the city of Rio de Janeiro by a former holy father umbandista Jacintho Manoel Coelho. The Rational Culture despite having features of religious discourse, not assumed as a religion. Thus, to understand its peculiar connection with the Brazilian religious field will, through the concepts in the works of the Universe in Disenchantment, the trajectory of the ethnographic and Manoel do understand how to build the identity of the fan Rational Culture

Preparation and Polarographic study of some beta-ketoimines

Samples of bis(1-phenyl-3-amino-2-butene-1-one)copper(II), bis(4-anilino-3-pentene-2-one)copper(II), bis(1,3-diphenyl-3-amino-2-propene-1-one)copper(II), and bis(4-amino-3-pentene-2-one)copper(II) were prepared and analyzed. Half-wave potentials and diffusion current constants for the copper chelates prepared have been measured in 75% dioxane by polarographic reduction. Trends regarding relative stabilities of the copper chelates in relation to the half-wave potentials were discussed, and postulations were developed to explain the observed trends. Logical over-all trends for the diffusion current constants could not be established. Advisor: H.F. Holtzclaw, Jr

Extraction of tritium from liquid lithium by permeation

This paper assesses a method for extracting tritium from liquid lithium for specific application to the conceptual laser fusion reactor that uses a continuous lithium ''waterfall.'' The tritium diffuses through a refractory metal that contains a getter and is then stored in a hydride-forming alloy. There are various uncertainties with this method including helium-4 extraction, unknown impurities that may accumulate in liquid lithium, the effects of these impurities on tritium separation, and the maintenance of tritium-contaminated equipment. Our study indicates that major tritium losses will occur during equipment maintenance rather than as a result of permeation losses through the primary vessel

Appraisals of Trust Development within the Therapist-Client Relationship: Impacts on Client Retention in a Hypothetical First Session of Therapy

The goal of the present study was to investigate how client appraisals of therapist attributes influence the client’s propensity to trust a particular therapist and how client trust in the therapist may impact client retention after a first session of therapy. The proposed model of trust development in the therapist-client relationship may provide insight on how client appraisals of therapist attributes (operationalized as ability, empathy, congruence, level of regard, and unconditionality) influence client trust in their therapist during the first session of therapy. The current study assessed participants for their propensity to trust at baseline and then presented them with a vignette of a multiculturally informed, hypothetical first session of therapy. Role induction was used to prompt participants to imagine themselves as the client in a dialogue with a therapist, who was randomized to either be perceived to be from the same (racial match) or from a different (racial mismatch) racial and ethnic group as the therapist. Participants then completed a survey assessing their attributions of trust in the vignette therapist, based on their appraisals of therapist attributes. The sample consisted of 162 participants (mean age= 20.29) from various racial and ethnic identities. The results indicated that client propensity to trust and appraisals of therapist ability, congruence, empathy, level of regard, and unconditionality were associated with trust development in a hypothetical first session of therapy; however, only therapist ability, empathy, and level of regard uniquely predicted trust development. In addition, the level of regard significantly moderated the relation between client propensity to trust and trust development. Participants’ appraisals of trust development in a therapist-client relationship was associated with expectations of client retention. Lastly, among participants of color, racial match and mismatch significantly moderated the relation between client propensity to trust and trust development in the therapist-client relationship in a hypothetical first session of therapy. Overall, our findings may inform the mechanisms underlying trust development in the therapist-client relationship, which may hold important implications for clients of color, who face an increased risk for psychotherapy dropout. This research may start to address the severe lack of research on therapy retention and engagement for People of Color and, subsequently, empirically supported treatments for these populations
