Download or read book The Effects of Outdoor Adventure Activities Upon Self concept written by Alan W. Ewert and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on self-concept of those students exposed to outdoor adventure activities as opposed to those students exposed to the more "traditional" forms of education (i.e. lecture method of teaching). The study was conducted Spring Quarter 1977, at Eastern Washington University, at Cheney, Washington. The study population consisted of four classes. These classes were: Cultural Anthropology 101, Wilderness Living 206, Survival Education 315, and Outdoor Leadership 410. The Cultural Anthropology class was the control group utilizirtg the "traditional" style of college teaching (lecture method). The remaining three classes were the "treated groups" in which the students were exposed to various outdoor adventure activities, such as rappelling, survival training, rock climbing, and solo. During the first week of Spring Quarter, 1977, all the subjects were given a pre-test, utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale. Post tests were given to the participants, utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, during the last week of Spring Quarter, 1977. Data was analyzed using the t test as the measuring instrument. Data computation produced three major findings. These findings were: (1)Class means suggested a positive change in self-concept through the Total Positive Score (TP), for all the classes featuring outdoor adventure activities. (2) Statistically significant levels of change, for the Total Positive Score (TP) were not achieved. As a result, the first null hypothesis was accepted. The first null hypothesis stated that there would be no statistically significant differences in the Total Positive Score (TP) between the "treated groups", exposed to outdoor adventure activities, and the control group, featuring "traditional" educational methods. (3) Statistically significant levels of change, for the Self- Criticism Score (SC) were not achieved. This factor supported the second null hypothesis. The second null hypothesis stated that there would be no statistically significant differences in the Self-Criticism Scores (SC) between the "treated groups", exposed to outdoor adventure activities and the control group, featuring "traditional" educational methods"--Document.

Book Correctional Boot Camps

Download or read book Correctional Boot Camps written by Doris L. MacKenzie and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-02-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boot camps have developed over the past two decades into a program that incorporates a military regimen to create a structured environment. While some critics of this method of corrections suggest that the confrontational nature of the program is antithetical to treatment, authors Doris Layton MacKenzie and Gaylene Styve Armstrong present research knowledge and personal discussions with community leaders that offer insight into both the strengths and weaknesses of this controversial form of corrections. Correctional Boot Camps: Military Basic Training or a Model for Corrections? provides the most up-to-date assessment of the major perspectives and issues related to the current state of boot camps. The book goes beyond cursory examinations of the effectiveness of boot camps, presenting an in-depth view of a greater variety of issues. Correctional Boot Camps examines empirical evidence on boot camps drawn from diverse sources including male, female, juvenile, and adult programs from across the nation. The book explores empirical research on both the punitive and rehabilitative components of the boot camp model and the effectiveness of the "tough on crime" aspects of the programs that are often thought of as punishment or retribution, in lieu of a longer sentence in a traditional facility. Thus, offenders earn their way back to the general public more quickly because they have paid their debt to society by being punished in a short-term, but strict, boot camp. Correctional Boot Camps is a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying corrections and juvenile justice. The book is also a valuable resource for correctional professionals interacting with offenders.

Book Blockchain Chicken Farm

Download or read book Blockchain Chicken Farm written by Xiaowei Wang and published by FSG Originals. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "A brilliant and empathetic guide to the far corners of global capitalism." --Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing From FSGO x Logic: stories about rural China, food, and tech that reveal new truths about the globalized world In Blockchain Chicken Farm, the technologist and writer Xiaowei Wang explores the political and social entanglements of technology in rural China. Their discoveries force them to challenge the standard idea that rural culture and people are backward, conservative, and intolerant. Instead, they find that rural China has not only adapted to rapid globalization but has actually innovated the technology we all use today. From pork farmers using AI to produce the perfect pig, to disruptive luxury counterfeits and the political intersections of e-commerce villages, Wang unravels the ties between globalization, technology, agriculture, and commerce in unprecedented fashion. Accompanied by humorous “Sinofuturist” recipes that frame meals as they transform under new technology, Blockchain Chicken Farm is an original and probing look into innovation, connectivity, and collaboration in the digitized rural world. FSG Originals × Logic dissects the way technology functions in everyday lives. The titans of Silicon Valley, for all their utopian imaginings, never really had our best interests at heart: recent threats to democracy, truth, privacy, and safety, as a result of tech’s reckless pursuit of progress, have shown as much. We present an alternate story, one that delights in capturing technology in all its contradictions and innovation, across borders and socioeconomic divisions, from history through the future, beyond platitudes and PR hype, and past doom and gloom. Our collaboration features four brief but provocative forays into the tech industry’s many worlds, and aspires to incite fresh conversations about technology focused on nuanced and accessible explorations of the emerging tools that reorganize and redefine life today.
