Discussion 5Critically think about ethnocentrism, culture, andLyndonPelletier761
Discussion 5
Critically think about ethnocentrism, culture, and how these concepts impact research. Familiarize yourself with the objectives in Module 5 as well as the assigned course materials, videos, articles, and introduction. Use the assigned readings for this week as a primary reference as well as material from the Saint Leo Online Library for peer reviewed sources and to find relevance to this week’s topic. Please share your information with our classmates on this thread.
Questions:
1. Define culture, ethnocentrism and social construction. What are ways in which ethnocentrism can be avoided when conducting research? What core values or ethical principles are violated when ethnocentrism is not avoided and is included in research in the form of a bias?
2. How does avoiding ethnocentrism and including diversity in one’s research positively impact the quality of one’s work? How will you use what you have learned about diversity and ethnocentrism in your own life both as a student and in a future career in the field of psychology?

Interview Questions
Central Question:
How can the gaps in college readiness between students from low-income and underserved communities and those from wealthy and majority groups be eliminated?
Interview Questions
1. What parameters/Indicators are used to determine whether a student is college-ready or not?
The question is crucial in identifying whether the instructors are aware of the factors that contribute to college readiness among the students. Several indicators influence college readiness. Such parameters are combined before understanding whether a high school student is college-ready. Some indicators accurately show students’ college preparedness, while others give a false picture. Leeds & Mokher (2019) showed that using placement tests to assign students to developmental courses results in frequent misplacement. The authors used data from Florida. They concluded that it might be preferable to choose cutoffs that minimize misplacement than to use new metrics (Leeds & Mokher, 2019). Also, they proposed that each state use metrics that are unique to their con ...

Exploring the Online Information-seeking Strategies of Education Graduate Stu...Wil Weston
This paper is the result of a recent exploratory study completed in November 2013, which examines how education graduate students at San Diego State University (SDSU) seek information online. Understanding this group’s online research and information-seeking strategies are critical when one considers that these future graduates will be occupying leadership positions in education and determining educational policy. How they evaluate information resources will impact policy and determine the importance they place on specific informational resources. Discovering the strategies utilized by these graduate students in their information seeking behavior will provide insight into the use of online resources and broader information seeking-strategies.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

25. • Statement of Problem
• Distance education students generally tend of be adults
who have a fully time or part time job, with
predetermined financial and family commitments. They
will have preset social obligations to fulfil. Entry
requirements into distance education programs differ
somewhat from those of full time students on campus
students. In addition the mode of instructional delivery is
different to their on campus cohorts. These factors in
isolation or in combination have a bearing on student
retention rates for distance education students.
26. • Statement of Problem
• It is also estimated that dropout rates from online courses were higher than their
counterparts in traditional classes, with as many as 25-40% students in online
courses dropping compared to 10-20% of students in on-campus courses
dropping these courses (Parker, 1999). However, attrition has been reported to
be as high as 70% to 80% (Dagger & Wade, 2004; Flood, 2002). Additional
publications cite online attrition to be 10% to 20% higher than traditional on-
campus programs (Angelino, Williams & Natvig, 2007; Carr, 2000).
Notwithstanding, the extant research on retention and online programs have
been sparse (Roach, 2002). Roach suggested that research studies for online
programs were limited due to the “newness of online education” (Roach, 2002).
Extant research has indicated that a better understanding of student dropout
would enable educators and administrators to design courses which promote
student progress (Kember, 1995; and Sweet, 1986). Garrison (1987) posits
there is no area of research in distance education that has received more
attention than the study of dropout.
• The purpose of this research is to study the issues surrounding retention of
adult learners in distance education in Malaysia. The setting will be in a
Malaysian Public University’s Distance Education arm.
