new directions in american Educational History problems and prospects
Educational Researcher, 2000Co-Authors: Ruben Donato, Marvin LazersonAbstract:This article, based on a Spencer Foundation sponsored conference on new directions in the History of education, examines the dilemma of audience and voice. It connects the "golden era" of American Educational historiography to the education reforms of the 1960s and 1970s, and then discusses recent developments in the areas of people of color, History and policy, higher education, and a gender-based History. It suggests ways History might be connected to current Educational research issues.

contrasting brain patterns of writing related dti parameters fmri connectivity and dti fmri connectivity correlations in children with and without dysgraphia or dyslexia
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2015Co-Authors: Todd L Richards, Thomas J Grabowski, Peter Boord, Kevin Yagle, Mary K Askren, Zoe Mestre, P Robinson, O Welker, D Gulliford, William E NagyAbstract:Based on comprehensive testing and Educational History, children in grades 4–9 (on average 12 years) were diagnosed with dysgraphia (persisting handwriting impairment) or dyslexia (persisting word spelling/reading impairment) or as typical writers and readers (controls). The dysgraphia group (n = 14) and dyslexia group (n = 17) were each compared to the control group (n = 9) and to each other in separate analyses. Four brain region seed points (left occipital temporal gyrus, supramarginal gyrus, precuneus, and inferior frontal gyrus) were used in these analyses which were shown in a metaanalysis to be related to written word production on four indicators of white matter integrity and fMRI functional connectivity for four tasks (self-guided mind wandering during resting state, writing letter that follows a visually displayed letter in alphabet, writing missing letter to create a correctly spelled real word, and planning for composing after scanning on topic specified by researcher). For those DTI indicators on which the dysgraphic group or dyslexic group differed from the control group (fractional anisotropy, relative anisotropy, axial diffusivity but not radial diffusivity), correlations were computed between the DTI parameter and fMRI functional connectivity for the two writing tasks (alphabet and spelling) by seed points. Analyses, controlled for multiple comparisons, showed that (a) the control group exhibited more white matter integrity than either the dysgraphic or dyslexic group; (b) the dysgraphic and dyslexic groups showed more functional connectivity than the control group but differed in patterns of functional connectivity for task and seed point; and (c) the dysgraphic and dyslexic groups showed different patterns of significant DTI–fMRI connectivity correlations for specific seed points and written language tasks. Thus, dysgraphia and dyslexia differ in white matter integrity, fMRI functional connectivity, and white matter–gray matter correlations. Of clinical relevance, brain differences were observed in dysgraphia and dyslexia on written language tasks yoked to their defining behavioral impairments in handwriting and/or in word spelling and on the cognitive mind wandering rest condition and composition planning.

uninterested youth young people s attitudes towards party politics in britain
Political Studies, 2005Co-Authors: M Henn, Mark Weinstein, S ForrestAbstract:Following the outcome of the 2001 and 2005 General Elections, when the numbers of abstainers outweighed the numbers of Labour voters on both occasions, much attention has focused upon the state of British democracy and how to enthuse the electorate, especially young people. While the government is exploring ways to make the whole process of voting easier, it may be failing to tackle the real problem - that youth appear to find the business of politics uninviting and irrelevant. This paper examines data derived from a nationwide survey of over 700 young people in order to shed light on what lies at the heart of young people's apparent disengagement from formal politics in Britain - political apathy or a sense of political alienation. The findings reveal that they support the democratic process, but are sceptical of the way the British political system is organised and led, and are turned off by politicians and the political parties. However, there is no uniform youth orientation to politics, and the data indicate that views differ according to social class, Educational History, and also gender. However both ethnicity and region of the country in which young people live seem to have little influence in structuring political attitudes and behaviour.

social differentiation in young people s political participation the impact of social and Educational factors on youth political engagement in britain
Journal of Youth Studies, 2014Co-Authors: M Henn, N FoardAbstract:Over the course of the last decade, policy makers in Britain have become increasingly concerned about the apparent and persisting withdrawal by young people from the formal political process. In this article, the authors consider the results from a representative online national survey of 1025 British 18-year-olds conducted in 2011, including both those who voted at the 2010 General Election and those who did not. The findings reveal that young people do profess a commitment to the political process, although they consider that there are relatively few opportunities available for them to intervene effectively in formal political life. Our study also indicates that there is no uniform youth orientation to politics, and the data reveal that this generation's engagement with formal politics is complex and nuanced. Social class and Educational History both appear to have a crucial bearing on political engagement, while views also differ according to ethnicity and – to a lesser extent – gender. The authors als...
