The Effects on Students\u27 Intercultural Competence From Intensive Intercultural Service-Learning Through The $100 Solutionâą Model
This study evaluates the effects of an intensive intercultural service-learning program on the intercultural competence of undergraduate students enrolled in Cultural Diversity in the U.S., a general education course at Western Kentucky University. This program utilized The 100 Solutionâą model provided an interaction framework in which students and refugee families met to learn from each other. This quasi-experimental study utilized pre- and post-course self-assessments of intercultural competence, as measured by the Cultural Intelligence Scale and the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale. A total of 170 students participated in the research. The data were collected from students enrolled in six sections of the course across two semesters in the 2012-2013 academic year. Three sections were control sections with no service-learning component. Three sections were treatment sections with the servicelearning component. Students chose whether to enroll in control or treatment sections. By comparing results from students who completed the service-learning component with results from those who did not, this study revealed that participation in the service-learning component had a significant impact on the development of studentsâ intercultural competence throughout the semester. According to MANCOVA utilizing pre-course scores as covariates, the only significant difference between both groups was in the cultural intelligence action scores, which measure intercultural skills. According to repeated measures ANOVA, treatment students demonstrated a significantly larger growth in cultural intelligence action and strategy scores. On the other hand, control students demonstrated a significantly larger growth in cultural intelligence knowledge scores. The largest effect size was on cultural intelligence action scores, supporting the hypothesis that, while courses with intercultural classroom content increase studentsâ intercultural knowledge, awareness, and sensitivity, intensive intercultural servicelearning programs are uniquely suited to increase studentsâ intercultural skills
Perspectivas vecinas: modelos lineales jerĂĄrquicos de las pruebas de lectura de tercer grado del ERCE. Factores asociados de Colombia, Costa Rica, PanamĂĄ y RepĂșblica Dominicana
Este estudio busca determinar el efecto preciso a nivel estudiantil y escolar de los factores asociados a los resultados de aprendizaje de estudiantes en cuatro paĂses de Tercer grado en lenguaje. La metodologĂa se basĂł en el anĂĄlisis de datos del ERCE-2019 empleando modelos jerĂĄrquicos lineales (HLM). Los resultados señalan la importancia de las polĂticas pĂșblicas y escolares como: minimizar la repitencia; mejorar la calidad y cobertura del preescolar; garantizar el acceso a los servicios bĂĄsicos y recursos educativos, incluyendo cuadernos y libros; concientizar sobre las necesidades de perfeccionamiento docente; aumentar el involucramiento parental y las oportunidades de finalizaciĂłn escolar de madres y padres; minimizar la violencia escolar; maximizar la asistencia, asĂ como capacitar docentes en tecnologĂa, interĂ©s por el bienestar de los estudiantes, manejo de aula, organizaciĂłn de la enseñanza y apoyo al aprendizaje. Enfocarse en estas prioridades permitirĂa balancear el efecto del Ăndice socioeconĂłmico de familias y escuelas, asĂ como las inequidades entre escuelas rurales y urbanas

Working memory and fluid intelligence predict reading comprehension in schoolâage children: A oneâyear longitudinal study
The present study analyzed the joint predictive role of verbal working memory (WM), verbal short-term memory (STM), fluid intelligence, and intelligence mindset in reading comprehension, controlling for prior reading comprehension performance, in typically developing Spanish-speaking school-aged children. A sample of 83 children aged 9â10 years old were evaluated at fourth grade of primary school, with measures of verbal WM, verbal STM, fluid intelligence, intelligence mindset and reading comprehension; then with the measure of reading comprehension after 1 year, during fifth grade. Results showed that controlling for prior performance, verbal WM and fluid intelligence significantly predicted reading comprehension after 1 year, whereas verbal STM and intelligence mindset did not make a significant contribution. These results indicate that when jointly considered, a higher level of verbal WM and fluid intelligence in fourth grade is related to a better performance in reading comprehension in fifth grade. Possible explanations and implications of these results are discussed.Fil: Vernucci, Santiago. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones CientĂficas y TĂ©cnicas.
