Towards A Typology Of Parental Behaviors, Attitudes, And Beliefs About School
The social and academic experiences of children and adolescents in school are a major concern for parents and their characteristics as protection or risk factors for their children’s adaptation has been extensively studied. However, few studies have dealt with the behaviors, attitudes and beliefs of parents about the schools their children are enrolled in. The aim of this study was to address that issue. A random sample of 1297 parents drawn from 8 large Canadian school boards took part in standardized individual interviews which yielded both quantitative and qualitative information on demographics, family structure, time management, attitudes, behaviors and beliefs about school, along with data on their children’s school achievement and overall adaptation. A dynamic grouping analysis was applied to salient variables which generated a four group typology of parents: collaborators, critics, overwhelmed, and ill-equipped. Results further indicated that only a very small number of participants did not value education, as opposed to earlier findings where they represented a significant proportion of parents. Practical implications of these results for school administrators, parents and educators will be discussed
Les pratiques de gestion des directions d’école secondaire sont-elles liées à la réussite des élèves?
Cet article examine les liens entre les pratiques de gestion des membres de la direction dans six écoles secondaires et la réussite des élèves. Les perceptions des directions (N = 17), du personnel professionnel (N = 20) et des élèves (N = 1 560) à cet égard ont été mises en relation avec la réussite des élèves, mesurée à l’aide des résultats obtenus en français et en mathématiques. L’étude révèle que 35 pratiques de gestion et caractéristiques d’école sont associées à une meilleure réussite des élèves. D’une part, les pratiques axées sur la pédagogie et le suivi des résultats sont liées à une réduction des taux d’échec, tandis que les pratiques axées sur l’instauration d’un climat harmonieux et respectueux pour les élèves sont pour leur part liées à une augmentation des taux de réussite. Les pratiques de gestion pourraient jouer un rôle médiateur entre l’expérience vécue en classe et la réussite des élèves

Geophysical signatures of past and present hydration within a young oceanic core complex
Borehole logging at the Atlantis Massif oceanic core complex provides new information on the relationship between the physical properties and the lithospheric hydration of a slow-spread intrusive crustal section. Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Hole U1309D penetrates 1.4 km into the footwall to an exposed detachment fault on the 1.2 Ma flank of the mid-Atlantic Ridge, 30°N. Downhole variations in seismic velocity and resistivity show a strong correspondence to the degree of alteration, a recorder of past seawater circulation. Average velocity and resistivity are lower, and alteration is more pervasive above a fault around 750 m. Deeper, these properties have higher values except in heavily altered ultramafic zones that are several tens of meters thick. Present circulation inferred from temperature mimics this pattern: advective cooling persists above 750 m, but below, conductive cooling dominates except for small excursions within the ultramafic zones. These alteration-related physical property signatures are probably a characteristic of gabbroic cores at oceanic core complexes
MP755: Eastern Regional Potato Trials 2003: Summary of NE1014 Regional Project Field Testing of New Potato Clones
The objectives of this regional potato trial are (1) to develop pest-resistant, early-maturing, long-dormant potato varieties that will process from cold storage; (2) to evaluate new and specialty varietÂies developed in the Northeast; (3) to determine climatic effects on performance to develop preÂdictive models for potato improvement; and (4) determine heritability/linkage relationships and improve the genetic base of tetraploid cultivated varieties. The results presented in this report reflect a portion of the activity directed toward objectives 1, 2 and 3.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_miscpubs/1020/thumbnail.jp
