Negotiating First Graders' Reading Stance: The Relationship Between Their Efferent and Aesthetic Connections and Their Reading Comprehension

        Due to changing demographics, our students are coming into schools with diverse life experiences, which do not always reflect the cultural reality of their schools. Given the research on the importance of using literature that is relevant to the students’ background, this study sought to explore how first grade urban students connect to literature that mirrored their personal experiences, but is not always considered appropriate material for classroom read-alouds. It was also of interest to determine how their reading stance, as measured by the type of connections students made, affected their comprehension of the story read. Results indicated that students who assumed an aesthetic stance while listening to the story, and made connections based on direct or vicarious personal experiences, scored higher on the comprehension measures. &nbsp

The Application of Computer, Digital, and Telecommunications Technologies to the Clinical Preparation of Teachers

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is becoming common place in the preparation of teachers. This chapter will focus on the application of CMC and will provide insight on how technology can be used in P-12 classrooms and potentially impact student learning. The purpose of the chapter is to: (a) describe the development, implementation, outcomes, and sustainability of a pre-service teacher (PST) supervision model arranged around digital technology and telecommunications, providing supervision and support for PSTs engaged in a student teaching internship, and (b) to discuss how the technology utilized may later be utilized by participating PSTs in their future classrooms (specifically videoconferencing, instant messaging, video sharing, and the critical analysis and reflection of current practices). The authors created a virtual-geographical third space in the form of a Teaching Lab that was mediated with a multimedia platform and designed around the principle of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). The authors also provided opportunities for PSTs to interact within that space for reflection and the sharing of best practices.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/fse_facbooks/1001/thumbnail.jp

The timing and circadian rhythm of pain: new concepts for timely and opportune nursing care

En la actualidad el dolor crónico o agudo es considerado una situación que requiere un manejo adecuado porque interfiere con la calidad de vida de quien lo experimenta, por sus efectos en la salud física, mental, social y familiar, en algunos casos por el impacto sobre quienes lo rodean; sin embargo, poco se conoce sobre las variaciones en su intensidad a lo largo del día y su asociación con enfermedades específicas, así como su respuesta al tratamiento farmacológico. El personal de enfermería es una pieza fundamental en el manejo integral de quienes presentan dolor puesto que es el eslabón que comunica al paciente y familia con el médico; por lo tanto, es prioritario que conozca las variaciones del dolor durante el día con el fin de administrar de manera oportuna los medicamentos analgésicos. El presente artículo pretende proporcionar al profesional en Enfermería una nueva visión para el manejo oportuno del dolor, mejorar la eficacia y disminuir la dosis de medicamentos analgésicos requeridos por el paciente, así como recomendar mejores horarios de administración.Relief of chronic or acute pain requires patient good management. Chronic pain interferes with the quality of life of patients and those around the patient. In addition, it can affect physical and mental health and family and social relationships. Nevertheless, little is known about the behavior of its intensity during the day, its association with certain specific diseases or its response to pharmacological treatment. This aim of this paper is to improve the efficiency of necessary drugs, to diminish their dosages, and to establish the best treatment schedules. For nursing personnel, who are the key in integral management of patients suffering pain because they are the links between doctors and patients, understanding variations in the intensity of pain throughout the day must be a priority in order to program accurate analgesic treatment schedule.Incluye referencias bibliográfica
