No More Rose-Colored Lenses: Changing Perceptions of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: A Longitudinal Study (currently under review)

The presence and impact of sexual harassment in today’s workplace continue to be underestimated by relevant stakeholders, including university students readying to enter the work force. The curren t study compares university students’ perception of sexual harassment across a ten year divide. In 2006 and 2016, university students responded to a survey regarding perceptions of the likelihood and impact of sexual harassment in the workforce, and responses between the two cohorts were compared. Today’s students are more aware of the possibility of workplace sexual harassment occurring, but remain less concerned about the potential for any personal impact. ... [more]

Literary Conversations

January 2011

This essay arises from an ongoing discussion about the teaching of Literature which followed after a ‘critical friend’, Bella Illesca, spent a series of consecutive lessons observing the action in Prue Gill’s year 12 Literature class. By examining, interpreting and exploring the events of the classroom as students discussed the short stories of contemporary Australian writer, Beverley Farmer, we ...

‘Pearls from Swine’

January 2000

Richard Clogg

I should make it clear that I do not intend in this chapter to give a systematic analysis of the development of British policy towards the Greek resistance during the period I particularly want to look at –roughly the time from September 1942, when the Harling mission was parachuted into Greece, until the signing of the Plaka agreement (which patched up the civil war within the resistance that ... [Show full abstract] had begun during the previous October) at the end of February 1944. Sir Llewellyn Woodward has already performed this task competently in his chapter on British policy towards Greece in his British Foreign Policy in the Second World War,1 and it would be pointless to try to duplicate his efforts. Sir Llewellyn himself made the point that his account is told from the Foreign Office point of view and that he has not made use of Special Operations Executive documents which might put SOE’s case and which remain inaccessible, apparently for the indefinite future (see page 178). This is a little puzzling for there is a considerableamount of SOE material available in the Foreign Office papers, some of it in the form of pièces justificatives written specifically to counter Foreign Office criticism. My intention here is mainly to fill in some of the gaps in previously published accounts and, in particular, to chart, as far as is possible on the basis of the available documents, the disastrous course of the Foreign Office’s relations with SOE, which reached their nadir during the visit of the delegation of six Greek guerrillas to Cairo in August 1943, after which SOE in the Balkans was brought under the direct control of the Commander-in-Chief Middle East.

Really Teaching Lamaze: What About Pushing?

February 2000 · Journal of Perinatal Education

Judith Lothian

A reader is justifiably puzzled when a Lamaze childbirth educator tells her that directed pushing is the Lamaze way. The author of this column discusses second stage in the context of normal, natural birth, guidelines for pushing, evidence-based practice, and strategies to access and incorporate evidence into practice.

Cognitive Training with Learning-Disabled Pupils

January 1984

Considering the broad array of symptoms and conditions that characterize children identified as exceptional, it is reasonable to hypothesize that learning-disabled children are likely candidates for cognitive training programs. Learning-disabled children learn many things well, yet show puzzling patterns of inconsistency in achievement and performance. Their school work may be satisfactory one ... [Show full abstract] day but dramatically inadequate the next; they may be deficient in reading but do average work in arithmetic; they may be attentive and task-directed at one moment, but erratic and distracted the next. It is these very inconsistencies that, although puzzling, provide the intuitive basis for the belief that learning-disabled children would profit from cognitive training techniques. Said directly, if learning-disabled children can learn and perform well in some situations, they may be helped through cognitive training to learn and perform well in many situations.

Mathematical Modeling in Connecting Concepts to Real World Application

January 2015

In recent years, achieving mathematics proficiency has received notable attention [RAND 2003; National Research Council (NRC) 2001] What useful, appropriate, practical, and effective strategies can be developed and used to enhance student proficiency in mathematics is still a puzzle to mathematics educators. This urgent need becomes a challenging task for mathematics educators seeking ...
