Socialization to the retirement role, as Goffman suggests, is a good example of social situations which fit the model of "cooling the mark out," an expression borrowed from the confidence rackets to indicate persuading the victim to take his loss quietly and go home. Retirement needs to be examined separately for men and women because of the great differences in their life cycles and work patterns. In some respects women are disadvantaged relative to men when the time comes for them...

This paper explores teacher' "identity" as two teachers talk about teaching mathematics in classrooms situated within two different contexts of learning--mainstream and alternative. Employing a form of discourse analysis framed within a participation approach to learning, this paper describes teacher identity in terms of the norms and practices that frame the translation of content, pedagogy and assessment in each teacher's classroom. Differences between each context of learning are...

How does a psychotic mother affect the emotional development of her child? Studies have found that mental illness in the family and intra-family conflict are important concomitants of neurosis, but most studies have failed to link the child's experiences with a mentally ill mother clearly with later development of a similar mental illness. Our own studies of released mental patients led us to an examination of their "parenting" roles, and from there into the question of the genetic...

Social scientists have adopted two different views on the influence of the community and home on academic achievement of lower-class and minority students. The first is the deficit perspective, or the failure-of-socialization hypothesis. The second is the difference perspective, or the cultural-discontinuity/failure-of-communication hypothesis. Both deficit and difference perspectives on oppressed minorities reflect external definitions of community and home influences on ghetto children's...

This paper begins by examining two approaches to defining and measuring adolescents' understanding of the public good: (1) theories concerning stages of moral and cognitive development and political socialization; and (2) attitudinal survey methods. Methodological deficiencies of the approaches are identified. The paper presents a new method of conceptualizing and assessing adolescents' understanding which involves the use of think aloud problem solving and related tools of cognitive...

Black studies, hence relevant education for black people in this country, have been omitted from educational curricula at all levels. Some reasons are: questions of moral responsibility involved in complying with public pressure for curriculum reforms; doubt that the experiences of black people justify study; general ignorance of Afro-American experience; and, society's disagreement over the purpose of education. There have been various theoretical models for curriculum development --the...

This summary on studies on preschool intervention through social learning indicate that a child's mode of orientation and his general level of competence and maturity are, in large part, derived from his social environment. To the extent that specific aspects of that environment can be identified as significant antecedents to behavioral inadequacies, remedial efforts should concern themselves with those aspects. Disadvantaged boys from father-absent homes exhibit a low level of maturity in...

It was hypothesized that socialization within an achievement-oriented culture would encourage children to adjust the amount of contingent self-reward according to the length and difficulty of a task. A total of 32 second grade children completed long-easy, long-difficult, short-easy, and short-difficult versions of three tasks and set their own amount of reward following each. Long tasks were judged to merit greater amounts of reward than shorter ones, but the effect of difficulty varied across...

Issues surrounding parental decisions to privatize their children's education are examined in this paper, which focuses on three issues: (1) the declining credibility of state-sponsored education; (2) the nature and causes of privatized education as a viable alternative; and (3) the context in which this option occurs. The first section discusses several Marxist theories of the state, and the second section uses data on parents who home school to demonstrate the relationship between privatized...

This consultant paper for a curriculum development project in the war/peace field is concerned with the concept of self, and the seeming conflict between demands of the individual self and demands of the political order, or the sense of community. Both classical and modern political philosophy are explored in discussing the difficulties of definition. Main interpretations investigated include: 1) the idea of the soul as a substitute for self, historical works of Socrates and Plato; 2) the...

First through twelfth graders' beliefs concerning the social distances between people differing by race, sex, or race and sex were assessed. Sexual social distances are larger for boys than for girls, increase during pre-adolescence, and decrease during adolescence. Racial social distances are larger for blacks than for whites, and increase with age. Across grades, blacks attribute relatively greater social distance to racial than to sexual differences, whereas until high school, whites ascribe...

A Q-factor analysis study was undertaken to supplement an earlier research effort that had suggested that television can be an acculturator for foreign students. The method used to test the relationship between television presentation and foreign students' orientation toward cultural values involved three steps: (1) traditional values were identified and matched to television programs, and the matching process was validated; (2) a baseline of United States students' perceptions of these values...

The aim of this paper is to present the learning and teaching styles using the Social Learning Environment (SLE), which was developed based on the computer supported collaborative learning approach. To avoid burdening learners with multiple platforms and tools, SLE was designed and developed in order to integrate existing systems, institutional learning, management systems, and Facebook. With SLE, a learner is exposed to instructional learning material, problem-based, project-based, and social...

Drawing from research on fear of failure and anecdotes from personal experience with the first women's expedition to ski to the South Pole, this discussion centers on how fear of failure affects women. Fear of failure leads to procrastination and performance well below one's ability. Women generally express more fear of failure than do men, partly because they fear the expected interpersonal consequences rather than the specific failure of performance. Individuals who exhibit strong fear of...

Teacher education can be thought of as sets of activities intended to socialize candidates into the segments of the occupation of teaching. It is suggested that these activities have at least eight interrelated parameters, and that variables in each of these parameters impinge upon the processes of socialization. The variables discussed are: (1) goals, the intended outcomes of specific activities, and assessment of these achievements; (2) characteristics of candidates; (3) characteristics of...

Two questions must be asked by educators when assessing their role: How should opportunity, access, and democratic intent be used to further the fullest development of each individual to the limits of his or her potential? How do our institutions, in particular, our schools, play a role in facilitating that development? These questions are especially relevant to the problem of equal rights for women in a society in which the number of women in the schools and in the work force is increasing. In...

Everything You Need to Know about Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Abuse - click on this link: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/faq1.html I propose a tripartite model of empathy, roughly corresponding to Freudâs postulated id, ego, and superego. In this model, normal empathy is comprised of three components: instinctual, emotional, and cognitive. Children develop empathy in three phases which correspond to these three components, constructing the emotional and cognitive tiers upon an instinctual...

Sustainability issues have led to increased demands for a STEM-literate society and workforce. Potential contributors need to be competent, have an understanding of earth and physical sciences, and be willing to pursue such fields. High school girls, however, remain underrepresented in physical science course enrollments (College Board, 2014). This qualitative case study examined how gender informs girls' efficacy-activated processes related to their perceptions of potential science course...
