The Ambit of Private Arbitration: Limits on Determination under Agreed Dispute Settlement Procedures in Federal Awards and Agreements
Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia, área de Psicologia Clínica (Psicopatologia e Psicoterapias Dinâmicas), apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da Educação da Universidade de CoimbraO presente estudo visa explorar a relação entre os sintomas de
stress pós-traumático e a lesão medular, considerando a eventual influência
de variáveis sociodemográficas (sexo, idade, escolaridade, rendimentos),
clínicas (quadro clínico, classificação neurológica, tempo de lesão, causa da
lesão), psicopatológicas (somatização, obsessões-compulsões, sensibilidade
interpessoal, depressão, ansiedade, hostilidade, ansiedade fóbica, ideação
paranoide, psicoticismo), das experiências peritraumáticas, do suporte social
e do locus de controlo na reabilitação.
A amostra é composta por 22 sujeitos com lesão medular em regime
de internamento no Centro de Medicina e Reabilitação da Região Centro –
Rovisco Pais (CMRRC-RP).
Os resultados evidenciam que a idade, a escolaridade, a satisfação
com o suporte social (Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social) e o locus
de controlo (Escala de Locus de Controlo na Reabilitação) funcionam como
variáveis dimensionais, com um contributo significativo no desenvolvimento
da Perturbação de Stress Pós-traumático.This study aims to explore the relationship between the symptoms
of post-traumatic stress and spinal cord injury, considering the possible
influence of sociodemographic variables (gender, age, education, income),
clinical (clinical, neurological classification, injury time, cause the injury),
psychopathology (somatization, obsession-compulsion, interpersonal
sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation,
psychoticism), the peritraumatic experiences, social support and locus of
control in rehabilitation.
The sample consists of 22 individuals with spinal cord injured that
are inpatient at the Centro de Medicina e Reabilitação da Região Centro –
Rovisco Pais (CMRRC-RP).
The results showed that age, education, satisfaction with social
support (Satisfaction with Social Support Scale) and the control locus (Locus
of Control in Rehabilitation Scale) work as dimensional variables, with a
significant contribution in the development of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Effects of an Elementary Language Arts Unit on Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing
Teaching young students to think critically has always been important, however, as the United States transitions to a national set of learning standards which emphasizes higher-order thinking, it becomes essential. In this quasi-experimental study we evaluate the effects of exposure to the Journeys and Destinations (J&D) unit from the William and Mary language arts curriculum on students’ critical thinking, reading, and writing in general education classrooms. The unit uses advanced-reading-level literature to teach the concept of change, critical reasoning, and advanced language arts skills. Students from nine fourth and fifth grade classrooms participated in the study; three used the William and Mary language arts model, while six were asked to use their normal language arts approach. At the beginning and end of the semester students were assessed with the Bracken Test of Critical Thinking, a test of syntactic reading fluency, and a curriculum-based measure of writing. Classroom observations were used to monitor the approaches being used and assess fidelity of implementation. Results indicated that students exposed to the J&D unit grew significantly in the area of critical thinking, while the comparison group did not. Both groups grew significantly in reading, and neither group experienced gains in writing. Results are discussed in the context of professional development needs, and the move to a national curriculum focused on developing critical thinking skills in all students.

Development, validation and in-class evaluation of a sequence of clicker questions on Larmor precession of spin in quantum mechanics
Engaging students with well-designed clicker questions is one of the commonly
used research-based instructional strategy in physics courses partly because it
has a relatively low barrier to implementation. Moreover, validated robust
sequences of clicker questions are likely to provide better scaffolding support
and guidance to help students build a good knowledge structure of physics than
an individual clicker question on a particular topic. Here we discuss the
development, validation and in-class implementation of a clicker question
sequence (CQS) for helping advanced undergraduate students learn about Larmor
precession of spin, which takes advantage of the learning goals and
inquiry-based guided learning sequences in a previously validated Quantum
Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT). The in-class evaluation of the CQS using
peer instruction is discussed by comparing upper-level undergraduate student
performance after traditional lecture-based instruction and after engaging with
the CQS.Comment: 2019 Physics Education Research Conference Proceedings, 202
