This single case study document collects data about the effect of brain-based learning with teacher training in fifth grade at a private school to provide information about teaching strategies and how students construct thinking in mathematically using brain-based learning skills for mathematics. The problem consists in looking for solutions to teaching to overcome the situation in the mathematical thinking of division and fractions in the fifth grade to help improve mathematical academically. Journals, classroom lessons and curriculum revisions were revised, numerous meetings were held to discuss any changes. The study consisted of three fifth grade groups with an enrollment of 58 students, and 23 teachers, both teachers and students participated in a questionnaire after teacher training in brain-based learning methodologies and techniques for the mathematics class. The findings indicate that teacher training in brain-based learning helped students increase their mathematics scores. The study also shows that specific teacher training methods are more influential when providing students with the skills of thinking mathematically, more teacher training and a continued staff development program must be implemented. The private school (PSPR) is a nonsectarian prekindergarten to twelfth grade college preparatory school that uses English as their vernacular located in Puerto Rico since 1977.

This research brings together three different areas of study: attachment, psycholinguistics, as well as foster care and adoption. 73 Adult Attachment Interviews of adopters of hard to place maltreated children will be assessed using the psycholinguistic analysis Linguistic Inquiry Word Count program. This research hopes to contribute to the understanding of people's attachment patterns, deepen our comprehension of the classification system for the Adult Attachment Interview, as well as be able help to distinguish between secure attachment classification and dismissing attachment classification.

The study was conceived at the cusp of clinical psychology and the various disciplines concerned with multilingualism, including psycho- and socio-linguistics and psychoanalysis. The author takes an interdisciplinary standpoint, integrating theories and empirical findings from these various disciplines to create a theoretical framework for interpreting the findings.

The qualitative study includes 114 mothers of breech and cephalic presentation babies who completed the State Trait Personality Inventory and a socio-demographic survey. Of these, 52 mothers of cephalic presentation babies and 23 mothers of breech presentation also participated in an in-depth interview about formative life experiences and peri-conception through delivery.

According to the psychoneurointracrine hypothesis, a woman experiences a psychobiological transition from autopoiesis to myth at prescient biochemical moments of the menstrual cycle: (1) during surges of follicular stimulating hormone and lutenizing hormone, 72 hours prior to ovulation; (2) at the mid-luteal peak; and (3) during the late luteal phase, 48 hours prior to bleeding. At these moments, signs infused with subjective meaning can become symbols of embodied intentionality.

The data analyses for students' attitudes toward learning math transformation skills found one significant interaction between instructional strategy and classroom environment specifically for boys' attitudes toward their Teacher Perception (T). The analysis also found two significant main effects for classroom environment in boys' Confidence in Math (C) and girls' Usefulness of Math (U) attitude scores. No significant main effects for instructional strategy were found. The data analyses for attitudes showed no significant interaction or main effects for instructional strategy and classroom environment for whether boys and girls perceived math as a male domain (M).
Data was sorted into four areas: sectional rehearsals, chamber music rehearsals, action research, and the story of the cellos. Implications for future research and teaching are included.

Cooperative learning was found to have large positive effects on motivation and strategy use, and medium-to-large positive effects on grammar achievement. Overall, the findings indicated a consistent pattern in favor of cooperative learning over whole-class instruction in teaching the Taiwanese learners English grammar. The results of the exploratory questions indicated that cooperative learning facilitated motivation and strategy use of learners across all subgroups, but more so with those performing at higher and lower levels. Grammar achievement of learners at higher and lower levels was affected positively. Additional analyses also indicated cooperative learning positively affected learning at higher cognitive levels. Implications for future research and for curriculum and instruction are addressed.

This thesis takes an existing process for a CMOS compatible IR micro-bolometer and integrates it with CMOS readout circuits. Three readout circuits are presented in this thesis. The CMOS readout circuits designed were fabricated through a foundry service, while the bolometers were fabricated on die in house. A procedure enabling fabrication of bolometers by post-processing CMOS die is presented in this thesis. A comparison of three different bolometer readout circuits, as well as a comparison of released versus unreleased bolometers is shown. Demonstrated in this thesis is the monolithic integration of bolometers and readout circuitry. A micro-machined bolometer with a differential amplifier readout circuit was successfully integrated and demonstrated.
The present study sought integration of two well-documented relationships: the relationship between general mental ability and performance of complex tasks, and between goal characteristics and level of work performance. Goal-setting theory states that the impact of goal level (difficulty and specificity) on performance depends on the task's complexity level. Past versions of the theory have also specified ability as a moderator of the goal-performance relationship. This study tested an alternative model of ability and task complexity as goal-performance moderators: a 3-way interaction among general mental ability (GMA), goal level, and task complexity. Undergraduate psychology students completed a class-scheduling task, which manipulated task complexity and goal difficulty at two levels each. Whereas main effects of task complexity and GMA were found, the 3-way interaction was not supported. Statistical and design limitations, including the absence of control for goal commitment, are discussed.
Sue-Chan and Ong (2002) examined the impact of power distance on the
relationship between goal-setting condition and self-efficacy, goal commitment,
and performance. Power distance refers to the degree of power and status
