Download or read book Extending Intelligence written by Patrick C. Kyllonen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2008 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents research from a variety of perspectives on the enhancement of human intelligence. It is organized around five themes - enhancement via instruction; enhancement via development (over the life cycle); enhancement over time; enhancement via new constructs; and new directions in enhancement. Three key issues are addressed: First, although most of the scientific research on intelligence has concerned what it is, this volume attends to the consequential societal and economic issue concerns of whether it can be increased, and how. Second, intellectual enhancement is particularly important when targeted to minorities and the poor, groups that have typically performed relatively less well on intelligence and achievement measures. This volume reflects the education community's ongoing interest in understanding, and attempting to close, achievement or test score gaps. Third, most of the attention to examining intellectual enhancement, and in accounting for and closing the test-score gap, has focused on general cognitive ability. In line with the current emphasis on considering intelligence from a wider perspective, this volume includes constructs such as emotional and practical intelligence in definitions of intellectual functioning. Extending Intelligence: Enhancement and New Constructs is an essential volume for researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of educational psychology, intelligence, educational measurement and assessment, and critical thinking.
Download or read book Proposition 48 and Intercollegiate Athletes Graduation Rates written by William F. Sheehan and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the impact on graduation rates of student-athletes at NCAA Division I institutions that resulted from the NCAA's Proposition 48. The study focused on Proposition 48 and the graduation rates of student-athletes in comparison to the entire student body, and how these same graduation rates compare for student-athletes on the basis of race and gender. Tests of significance were conducted on graduation rates of student-athletes and non student-athletes, black student-athletes and white student-athletes, and female student-athletes and male student-athletes. Only students, both athletes and non athletes, who entered NCAA Division I colleges between 1983 and 1990 were included in the study. The entering class size of each of the eight years studied ranged from 529,047 (1990) to 575,430 (1988) with the student-athlete category representing approximately 2.5% of the total. The results of the study indicate that the graduation rates of student-athletes compared to non student-athletes did increase during the 1983-1990 time period. The study also showed that for the 1989 and 1990 years, black student-athletes, who in the past have lagged behind white student-athletes in terms of graduation rates, graduated at a higher rate than white student-athletes. Finally, the study points out that female student-athletes have consistently graduated at a rate higher than expected compared to male student-athletes.

Download or read book Paradoxes of Youth and Sport written by Margaret Gatz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2002-03-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradoxes of Youth and Sport explores emergent debates among scholars, youth advocates, and sport practitioners concerning the role of sport in the lives of young people in urban settings. Specialists from diverse fields examine how sport can address social ills and act as a resource in the lives of disadvantaged youth versus how sport itself harbors and fosters social problems and is dominated by unequal access, the obsession to win, and commercialization. This book places sport at the crossroads of inquiry and practice regarding critical issues of our time, including youth development; violence; racial, gender, and class inequities; and inter-group relations.
