Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to take part in a research study examining the use of a Connected Vehicle (CV) device. This investigational device will be used to alert you to some specific developing traffic hazards and to advance your vehicle through traffic signals when conditions permit. This device has been developed for use by drivers to reduce the occurrence and severity of traffic incidents and crashes and to reduce delay drivers experience at intersections. Investigational means that the device is being tested for its ability to improve safety, mobility and environmental effects by the United States Department of Transportation for public use.
Purpose of the Study. The primary purpose of this mixed-methods study is to find out how teachers in Kazakhstan understand and perceive their own autonomy. I also compare Kazakhstani teachers’ subjective descriptions of teacher autonomy to the more objective ones derived from the literature. Since there are teachers from three different types of schools: private, mainstream and charter, I explore the similarities and differences among the degree of autonomy the teachers exercise in these schools. Next, the study attempts to understand whether the degree of autonomy is in any way correlated to job satisfaction, motivation and self-esteem of teachers.
Purpose of the Study. In this study, we hope to develop an automated film rental service with an online website or system application that will
Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to take part in a research study examining the use of a Connected Vehicle Device (henceforth referred to as the ‘Study Device’). The Study Device has been developed for use by drivers to improve awareness and reduce the occurrence and severity of crashes. The Study Device is ‘Investigational’ which means that the Study Device is being tested for its ability to improve safety by the United States Department of Transportation. Approximately 250-500 private automobile drivers 18 years of age and older will participate in this study as operators of vehicles equipped with a Study Device. There are also over 350 Central Ohio Transit Authority (XXXX) buses and supervisor vehicles, over 250 City of Columbus fleet, police, fire, and emergency vehicles, along with 10 private freight heavy duty vehicles (HDV) participating in this study. Participation will involve installation of the Study Device in your vehicle and driving with the Study Device in your vehicle from July 2020 to March 2021 in the study area. A map of the study area is available in this registration facility and included at the end of this Informed Consent Document. This Study Device will be used to alert you to some specific developing roadway hazards described later in this document. Study Staff will be passively collecting data from the Study Device and conduct surveys in order to better evaluate the use of the Study Device in the study area.
Purpose of the Study. The purpose of the study was to explore the nurses‟ experiences in interpersonal relations while caring for the elderly in residential home care and nursing homes. Definition of the key- words Elderly: A person who is chronological age of 65 years coupled with legislation or cultural considerations (WHO, 2014) Nursing Home: A residential facility that provides accommodation and offers a range of care and support services around the clock on either short or long term basis. (WHO, 2014) Residential home care: This is care and support services rendered to elderly people in their homes who have physical, medical, psychological or social care needs. (WHO, 2014) Interpersonal relationship: Refers to reciprocal social and emotional interaction between the patient and other person in the environment (Xxxx and Xxxxxxx, 1999) Nurse-patient relationship: One-to-one interactive process between client and nurse that is directed at improving the client‟s health status or assisting in problem solving (XxXxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2010) Experiences: This is the knowledge or skill acquired by a period of practical contact with and observation of facts or events especially that is gained in a particular profession (Oxford Dictionary, 2015).

Purpose of the Study. The implementation of an induction program in a school district with a clear framework and system to follow is worth studying. A certain formula and factors are needed to successfully implement a protocol that will work and thrive after implementation (Fullan & Xxxxx, 2016). To successfully implement a program, all stakeholders must have a full understanding of the program’s beliefs and why it is necessary for education (Xxxxxx, 2015; Xxxxxxx, 2016). The purpose of this case study was to examine a district induction program by (a) exploring ways the induction program provides long lasting support for the new teachers and (b) describing the formulas and protocols that have provided the program success and determine areas of improvement. It is important to study an induction program at the district level and learn about the experiences of the successful program systematically to see what potential it might have with new educators. A qualitative approach was primarily utilized in this mixed methods study to allow the thoughts and views of induction participants to be recorded, throughout the first two years of teaching. Research Questions This study addressed two research questions as it explored and analyzed the perceptions of effectiveness from mentors and teacher candidates in the School District’s A Induction Program.
Purpose of the Study. As exposure to student loans and credit cards grows on college students, higher education administrators are interested in understanding the students' financial behaviors or decisions (U.S. General Accounting Office, 2001; Xxxx, 2007). Although we have plenty of evidence about the problematic implications of student loans debt and its relation to financial literacy and self- efficacy, we have limited understanding about the differing patterns of FL and self-efficacy between students in public and private universities. We also do not know much about patterns of FL among students from different racial and SES backgrounds. For the first time in the U.S., students who are the first in their families to attend college (first generation students) are having the opportunity to do so in large numbers. Given that college attendance is not part of their family background it is important to understand how students with this background are learning about financial literacy and how are they making financial decisions to cover the cost of their college education. It may be that students with more resources are also more likely to make decisions for future plans and more likely to exercise self-efficacy on making those decisions. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate students’ financial literacy, self-efficacy and plans for financial decisions in a small private university with students from diverse backgrounds. Understanding the impact of access to financial literacy information and the students’ and how it relates to self-efficacy and financial planning decisions will better prepare universities to assist in students’ financial planning. Research Questions Research Question One (RQ1): Is there a difference in financial literacy level based on race/ethnicity and family income? Research Question Two (RQ2): Is there a difference between the financial literacy levels of first-generation students and the other freshman at a SNU? Research Question Three (RQ3): What is the relationship between the students’ financial literacy level and future financial planning and decisions? Research Question Four (RQ4): To what degree does self-efficacy relate to financial literacy levels? Theoretical Framework Educators and researchers agree that more attention needs to be paid to the emotional character of consumer behavior as it might guide financial planning decisions (Xxxxxx et al., 2010). Psychologists believe that external and internal factors influence human behaviors. S...
Purpose of the Study. The unified school district in this study implements a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) which refers to structures and procedures that help every student be successful in the classroom. Schools across California and the country are comprised of complex social environments that challenge providing effective instruction for students from diverse backgrounds (Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2016; Xxxxx et al., 2015). California Education Code Section 48204 requires schools to provide instruction for all age-appropriate students who qualify for attendance making the classroom rich in diversity with different backgrounds and needs. Incorporating MTSS allows teachers to intervene and meet the needs of the students in the classroom (Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2016; Carta & Xxxxx, 2019; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2014). Tier 1 refers to the education and teaching that includes all general education curricula and procedures (Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2016; California Department of Education, 2019; Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2009). All students receive Tier 1 education and support throughout every day of their education. Tier 1 is a form of primary prevention because it is provided universally for all students where materials for core instruction are available to teachers and students. For the elementary classroom, students receive Tier 1 instruction in English Language Arts, mathematics, history, and science. Tier 1 materials and procedures are the first and best opportunity to help all students access learning (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2011; Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2010; Carta & Xxxxx, 2019). When implemented correctly, approximately 80% of students should be successful within the Tier 1 core programs (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2011; Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2016; Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2009). Students needing additional support to be successful will continue through the tiers in the MTSS structure. Tier 1 is a form of prevention because it optimizes the likelihood that students will be successful in school. Tier 1 mathematics instruction is the core instruction that all students receive in the general education classroom every day (IRIS Center, 2019). Tier 1 instruction typically involves “high-quality whole-group instruction and classroom assessments, coupled with some small- group instruction, differentiated instruction, and limited individual assistance in mathematics as needed” (Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2010, pg. 25). Tier 1 mathematics instruction includes standards- based curriculum that follow the state adopted...
