...the t-test, analysis of variance, and contingency table (crosstabulation) analysis. The type of analysis chosen depends on the research design, characteristics of the variables, shape of the distributions, level of measurement, and whether the assumptions required for a particular statistical test are met. A crosstabulation is a joint frequency distribution of cases based on two or more categorical variables. Displaying a distribution of cases by their values on two or more variables is known as contingency table analysis and is one of the more commonly used analytic methods in the social sciences. The joint frequency distribution can be analyzed with the chi2 square statistic ( χ ) to determine whether the variables are statistically independent or if they are associated. If a dependency between variables does exist, then other indicators of association, such as Cramer’s V, gamma, Sommer’s d, and so forth, can be used to describe the degree which the values of one variable predict or vary with those of the other variable. More advanced techniques such as log-linear models and multinomial regression can be used to clarify the relationships contained in contingency tables. Considerations: Type of variables. Are the variables of interest continuous or discrete (e.g., categorical)? Categorical variables contain integer values that indicate membership in one of several possible categories. The range of possible values for such variables is limited, and whenever the range of possible...

I am very luck to work for a wonderful agency call HeartShare Human Services of New York. I was never interested in working in the developmental disabilities field because I was afraid of the unknown of the population. I thought the worst of this population, I though about the bad behavior, diaper changing, and taken a client down in public. To my surprise my clients are so far from the stereotype I had in my mind. HeartShare has helped New Yorkers develop to their fullest potential and lead meaningful lives. We are a community-based organization providing a wide range of services to children and adults with developmental disabilities, families in crisis, and people with HIV/AIDS.

...Classroom Activities and Behaviors Classroom setup can dramatically affect students' attitudes toward learning and their habits of learning. Students need an environment that is organized, stimulating, and comfortable in order to learn effectively. One way a teacher can create this type of learning environment is by creating learning centers throughout his or her classroom along with instructional areas. Take the physical features of your classroom into account when planning out what type of learning centers you want to have in your classroom. As the year progresses, you can add different kinds of learning centers to fit your classes. When sitting up your learning centers you not only want to take in the physical features of your classroom. You also need to consider the age of your students, the number of students and the type of activities you want to be conducted. Learning centers consist of multiple stations for children to rotate through. Stations may contain activities from different subjects, such as math, science and reading, or different activities related to the same topic. Using learning centers in your classroom is a fun way for students to experience hands-on learning independently or in small groups. It also opens up possibilities for you to work with small groups or individual students. One type of learning center that is valuable for young children is a reading center. A reading center is a place for students to read independently or quietly with...

...occurred. However, if a poor choice or non-compliance with classroom rules by the student contributed to the incident, it can be classified as contributory negligence in which the teacher can no longer be held liable. Often the factors of development and age appropriate ability are evaluated closely in attempt to establish contributory negligence. In addition, various other components are addressed when a claim of negligence is investigated. These other contributing factors can be the certification and professional training of the supervising instructor, the surroundings in which the incident took place, and the nature of the activity and preservation of any equipment that may have been involved. As a budding professional enters the field of education, such laws and mandatory “duty of care†can often be nerve-racking. However, many facilities and public school unions require that specific routine evaluations be conducted in order to decrease the potential of injuries from occurring. The...

...Home-school: Is There a Reason? In the Fall of 2000, a six year old girl is sitting in her kindergarten classroom waiting for her mom to pick her up. While she waits, she starts cleaning up around her desk and cubbyhole. When her mom come, the teacher gives the girl a hug and the all students waved goodbye, as the girl walk out of the classroom with her mom. This was the girl’s last day of school, public school that is. The girl’s parents pull her out of the public school to homeschool her. Some friends of the parents told them that they started a home school program, and that they should let their daughter join the program before another year of school starts. So the parents ask their daughter if she want to try home schooling. The girl said she would try homeschooling only if she can go back to public school if she does not like being homeschooled. A couple of months after that, the girl started homeschooling. When you think of Homeschooling, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you think of a child being pulled out of public school for bad school environment, such as bullying and negative peer-pressure? Maybe you think of a child with special or personal needs?Or, do you think of a child that would be socially shelter from his/hers peers? For some, these are the first conclusions about homeschoolers, but are any of these conclusions true? That 6 year old girl was me 12 years ago, and I remember the first day I started home schooling, I was quite unsure how is...

...THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT TRAVEL MARKET: TRAVELSTYLE, MOTIVATIONS, AND ACTIVITIES GREG RICHARDS* and JULIE WILSON† *Fundació Interarts (Interarts Foundation) and Rovira i Virgili University, Tarragona, Spain †Department of Geography and History, Rovira i Virgili University, Tarragona, Spain Abstract: One sign of the growing interest in student travel both from the tourism industry and academic researchers is the global independent travel survey conducted by the International Student Travel Confederation (ISTC) and the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education (ATLAS). The survey, conducted in 2002, covers the profile and travel behavior of 1630 students booking travel from student travel organizations in eight countries. This article reports the initial results of this research. The survey showed that students are frequent travel consumers with extensive previous experience of relatively long trips outside of their own world region. Most students see their travelstyle as that of “traveler,” but a significant proportion of the market characterized their travel as “backpacking.” Motivations reflecting a desire for experience are prevalent with student travelers, particularly in terms of exploring other cultures. Motivations tend to be differentiated by destination region and travelstyle and are distinct between students and other young travelers. In spite of these differences in motivation, however, the activities actually engaged in showed little differentiation between...

...Everyone tries to understand their purpose in the world, a special place can help to uncover the mystery of what that is. My family has a tradition to go to Sandusky, Ohio each year to visit the amazing amusement park, Cedar Point. The ride there was like waiting for the first snowfall. We drove across the bumpy highways and looking to our left and right saw enormous fields full of bright yellow and green plants. Our conversations consisted of everyone in the car while we all laughed and smiled the whole ride. The excitement of going to Cedar Point was so transmitted that you could see it on everyone’s faces. These times can show a lot about you, even to yourself which can help you in your life forever. I always remember waking up with my friend Connor who would spend the night the day before the trip so that we were all together before we left. The amazing thing about our trip is that we get excited before we even step foot onto the paved jungle of rollercoasters. You truly can feel the excitement and learn what makes...

...liable/accountable for a student’s welfare if foreseeable of harm exists (Ganly, 2007). When parents send their children to school as teacher we know students safety is top priority and better known as a legal right for the child. In the same sense parents have the right to enroll their child into a school or program that has their child best interest in mind and make it a priority. Needless to say not everyone is going to always agree on what is unforeseeable and foreseeable incident the same. When incidents occur in the classroom it should looked over individual and examined to ensure the safety of the teacher and students. When teachers take their class on field trips so many things can happen which can cause the students safety to be at risk. Even though students can have fun learning and exploring the standards in a different way on trips teacher just have to take precautions and plan for the what if’s. Teachers should ever just think...
