The Learning Sciences in Educational Assessment

The Learning Sciences in Educational Assessment

Jacqueline P. Leighton; Mark J. Gierl

Cambridge University Press
2014
pokkari
There is mounting hope in the United States that federal legislation in the form of No Child Left Behind will improve educational outcomes. As titanic as the challenge appears to be, however, the solution could be at our fingertips. This volume identifies visual types of cognitive models in reading, science and mathematics for researchers, test developers, school administrators, policy makers and teachers. In the process of identifying these cognitive models, the book also explores methodological or translation issues to consider as decisions are made about how to generate psychologically informative and psychometrically viable large-scale assessments based on the learning sciences. Initiatives to overhaul educational systems in disrepair may begin with national policies, but the success of these policies will hinge on how well stakeholders begin to rethink what is possible with a keystone of the educational system: large-scale assessment.

Physical Processes in Clouds and Cloud Modeling

Physical Processes in Clouds and Cloud Modeling

Alexander P. Khain; Mark Pinsky

Cambridge University Press
2018
sidottu
This book presents the most comprehensive and systematic description currently available of both classical and novel theories of cloud processes, providing a much-needed link between cloud theory, observation, experimental results, and cloud modeling. This volume shows why and how modern models serve as a major tool of investigation of cloud processes responsible for atmospheric phenomena, including climate change. It systematically describes classical as well as recent advancements in cloud physics, including cloud-aerosol interaction; collisions of particles in turbulent clouds; and the formation of multiphase cloud particles. As the first of its kind to serve as a practical guide for using state-of-the-art numerical cloud models, major emphasis is placed on explaining how microphysical processes are treated in modern numerical cloud resolving models. The book will be a valuable resource for advanced students, researchers and numerical model designers in cloud physics, atmospheric science, meteorology, and environmental science.

The Unitary Executive Theory

The Unitary Executive Theory

Jeffrey P. Crouch; Mark J. Rozell; Mitchel A. Sollenberger

University Press of Kansas
2020
sidottu
I have an Article II,' Donald Trump has announced, citing the US Constitution, 'where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.' Though this statement would have come as a shock to the framers of the Constitution, it fairly sums up the essence of 'the unitary executive theory.' This theory, which emerged during the Reagan administration and gathered strength with every subsequent presidency, counters the system of checks and balances that constrains a president's executive impulses. It also, the authors of this book contend, counters the letter and spirit of the Constitution.In their account of the rise of unitary executive theory over the last several decades, the authors refute the notion that this overweening view of executive power has been a common feature of the presidency from the beginning of the Republic. Rather, they show, it was invented under the Reagan Administration, got a boost during the George W. Bush administration, and has found its logical extension in the Trump administration. This critique of the unitary executive theory reveals it as a misguided model for understanding presidential powers. While its adherents argue that greater presidential power makes government more efficient, the results have shown otherwise. Dismantling the myth that presidents enjoy unchecked plenary powers, the authors advocate for principles of separation of powers - of checks and balances - that honor the Constitution and support the republican government its framers envisioned.A much-needed primer on presidential power, from the nation's founding through Donald Trump's impeachment, The Unitary Executive Theory: A Danger to Constitutional Government makes a robust and persuasive case for a return to our constitutional limits.

The Neurophysics of Human Behavior

The Neurophysics of Human Behavior

Mark E. Furman; Fred P. Gallo

CRC Press Inc
2000
sidottu
How do brain, mind, matter, and energy interact? Can we create a comprehensive model of the mind and brain, their interactions, and their influences? Synthesizing research from neuroscience, physics, biology, systems science, information science, psychology, and the cognitive sciences, The Neurophysics of Human Behavior advances a unified theory of brain, mind, behavior and information. This groundbreaking work helps you more deeply understand, more accurately predict, and more effectively change human behavior - a significant contribution to the fields of psychology, education, medicine, communications, and human relations. Cognitive neurophysics, as detailed in this work, presents an integrated perspective of brain, mind, behavior, thoughts, and nature. The distinguished authors emphasize the need to view psychological science - and our image of the "self" - in the context of the physical world: matter, energy, and natural laws. NeuroPrint is the powerful application model of this perspective. This comprehensive, detailed algorithm defines the network of interactions that develop brain, mind, behavior, thoughts, and emotions and redefines the meaning of psychotherapeutic intervention. The Neurophysics of Human Behavior gives the background, tools, and methods for intervention and modeling. It outlines the systematic, behavioral approach of NeuroPrint, promising to promote a deep understanding of the process of human change. Using The Neurophysics of Human Behavior, practitioners and researchers can plot and gauge the paths of change in neurocognitive dynamics and the improvements in mental health.

Creativity and Affect

Creativity and Affect

Melvin P. Shaw; Mark A. Runco

Praeger Publishers Inc
1994
sidottu
The authors of this volume attempt to cohere the field of creativity and affect in a scholarly fashion by categorizing and characterizing some of its major features, including environmental influences; underlying processes; specific affective states; the role of atypical or pathological personalities; unconscious processes; physiological components; proactive and reactive stimuli; intrinsic motivation; eminence versus everyday creativity; and testing of assessing the affective component of creativity. The authors also examine and discuss the role that emotions, feelings and moods play in the creative process. This volume also provides a vehicle for students and psychotherapists, with which they can fully appreciate the feelings generated by the creative process and the various stages of it. How does a creator feel during its more mundane phases? Can he or she tolerate the frustration of failing and being unsuccessful most of the time? What is the real joy of achievement, success, and ultimate acceptance by one's peers in a given field? Do we have to exhibit major psychopathological features in order to achieve eminence in specific fields? What is the role of mind altering substances, mood disorders, and the like? This volume answers these questions and more.

Comprehensive Deterrence Theory

Comprehensive Deterrence Theory

Daniel P. Mears; Mark C. Stafford

Cambridge University Press
2025
sidottu
First articulated more than 250 years ago, deterrence remains a central theory in criminology and continues to be the bedrock of the vast bulk of criminal justice policy. But few updates to the original theory of deterrence have been made, and crime-based punishment has only grown tougher, resulting in a historically unprecedented growth in imprisonment and an even greater reliance on deterrence to justify all kinds of punishment. These changes have occurred despite consistent or strong evidence to show that such punishments actually deter crime. In this book, renowned criminologists Daniel P. Mears and Mark C. Stafford provide an in-depth understanding of the classical account of deterrence theory, its limitations, and a reconceptualized version that establishes a more complete and powerful picture of how legal punishments can deter crime. Thorough and corrective, Comprehensive Deterrence Theory gives readers a new way of thinking about and understanding legal punishment.

There are more than 800,000 sworn law enforcement officers employed within the United States, many of whom are regularly tasked with photographing crime scenes or evidence associated with criminal investigations. Despite this fact, law enforcement personnel—including detectives and crime scene investigators—frequently receive little to no formal training in the art and science of photography, let alone for capturing photographic evidence for forensic casework and future legal proceedings. Unlike other resources on the topic that often contain overly complicated or rife with unnecessary or confusing technical jargon—this edition of Pocket Guide to Crime Scene Photography follows in the tradition of the first. The book is wholly updated, based on best practices and advances in camera technology to provide a practical, streamlined approach guide to the photographic documentation of crime scenes and physical evidence. The coverage includes extensive illustrations with two completely new chapters. The first focuses on specialized instructions for photographing shooting incident scenes, bloodstains, and evidence, made visible through infrared light; the is second dedicated to offering advice for photographing crime scenes and evidence with mobile device cameras.Chapters distill the technical jargon and complex processes of photographing crime scenes and evidence into straightforward step-by-step descriptions. Pocket Guide to Crime Scene Photography, Second Edition has been designed in a smaller, handy trim size as a convenient, portable tool to help busy professionals. Its techniques include practical guidelines that can be immediately implemented by law enforcement personnel to maximize their time and improve their skills.Features:Provides an up-to-date, portable reference ideal for use in the field; includes full-color photographs throughout to illustrate key concepts Details how to document various types of evidence, and crime scenes, using both standard and specialized techniques Outlines visualization and photography of evidence—illuminated with alternative light sources—including visible wavelengths, UV, and infraredPresents guidance for personnel who might only be able to use cell phone cameras for photographing evidence and scenes Written by two experienced professionals who know the investigative and courtroom requirements for quality admissible photos.

From Child Abuse to Foster Care

From Child Abuse to Foster Care

Richard P. Barth; Mark E. Courtney; Jill Duerr Berrick; Vicky N. Albert

Routledge
2017
sidottu
More than two million child abuse reports are filed annually on behalf of children in the United States. Each of the reported children becomes a concern, at least temporarily, of the professional who files the report, and each family is assessed by additional professionals. A substantial number of children in these families will subsequently enter foster care. Until now, the relationships between the performance of our child welfare system and the growth and outcomes of foster care have not been understood. In an effort to clarify them, Barth and his colleagues have synthesized the results of their longitudinal study in California of the paths taken by children after the initial abuse report: foster care, a return to their homes, or placement for adoption. Because of the outcomes of child welfare services in California have national significance, this is far more than a regional study. It provides a comprehensive picture of children's experiences in the child welfare system and a gauge of the effectiveness of that system. The policy implications of the California study have bearing on major federal and state initiatives to prevent child abuse and reduce unnecessary foster and group home care.

Four decades after Jeannette DePalma's tragic death, authors Jesse P. Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of the shocking Springfield township cold case.As Springfield residents decorated for Halloween in September 1972, the crime rate in the quiet, affluent township was at its lowest in years. That mood was shattered when the body of sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma was discovered in the local woods, allegedly surrounded by strange objects. Some feared witchcraft was to blame, while others believed a serial killer was on the loose. Rumors of a police cover up ran rampant, and the case went unsolved - along with the murders of several other young women.
