Gastro-tourists specifically travel to learn about new cultures through memorable food experiences. They span all ages, ethnicities, and incomes. These tourists plan more trips, stay longer, spend discretionary money when they travel. Interactions that include learning regional foods kitchen foster relationships between the gastro-tourist gastro-host are important them than fancy amenities. Research identifies characteristics attributes of gastro-tourism experiences considered is sparse....

Abstract This article presents a synthesis of research in the last two decades that has explored relationship gender to locus control measures. In main, this nsearch suggests both males and females are becoming more external. Females, however, tend be external than on most There also differences perceptions across behavioral domains. Factor analyses measures indicate relatively similar primary factors but may differ substantially some secondary factors. Two areas which appear perception over...

This article provides an integration of the research literature on nature and effectiveness student notetaking/reviewing options in college classes, particularly courses using a lecture format. Addressed are cognitive behavioral skills involved notetaking, predictive potential notetaking versus reviewing, characteristics related to effectiveness, instructional strategies that promote effective notetaking/reviewing.

A major purpose of the study was to assess relative effects group versus individually contingent free time in modifying student behaviors. Other purposes were determine effectiveness well-planned lesson activities and tokens without back-up reinforcers. Eight students an inner-city seventh-grade class 32 blacks served as subjects. Well-organized success feedback via did not produce high levels desirable behavior. In contrast, produced substantially higher appropriate behavior than baseline...

This study attempted to relate self‐concept several dimensions of the child's experience that are deemed fundamental effective academic adjustment. It was hypothesized a conception school would be related his himself, and thus might construed as an extension self‐concept. 80 6th‐grade students were used subjects for all phases investigation. Significantly positive correlations obtained between measures following variables: school, social status at emotional adjustment, mental ability,...

Students' scores on a psychological critical thinking instrument administered at the beginning and end of large human development course significantly correlated with multiple-choice exam scores, posttest being better predictor performance. The sample as whole gained thinking, but students high low differed in their patterns change thinking. Students who scored (As B+s) exams improved whereas (Ds Fs) did not. An explicit practice feedback procedure implemented through an existing activity...

Background. Numerous studies have documented racial disparities in delivery of health care treatment services, but there is little information to determine whether similar exist the preventive services. Objective. To if service non-Hispanic white patients and black primary care. Research Design. Multimethod study using direct observation patient encounters, medical record review, exit questionnaire. Subjects. Four thousand three hundred thirteen outpatients presenting 138 family physicians....

Abstract Emphasizing critical thinking in teacher education could potentially increase society's effectiveness addressing national and international problems. This linkage between societal problem solving is predicated on three major possibilities: (a) Increased emphasis will the K‐12 education, (b) increased lead to use of within society, (c) among leaders citizens produce better at a level. The proposed anchored aspects thinking: disposition toward thinking, cognitive skill information...

This study examines the differential status of psychological critical thinking and generic as predictors test performance outcome measures in a large human development course. Psychological proved to be better predictor more responsive instructional procedures

AbstractAbstractIn their meta-analysis, Stage and Quiroz (1997) found that group-oriented contingencies yielded the largest effect size of interventions designed to reduce inappropriate behaviors in public schools. However, such procedures may be underutilized for enhancing academic performance learning. The current article describes how interdependent reward with randomly selected, indiscriminable, or unknown contingency components (i.e., target behaviors, rewards, criteria earning rewards)...

A rapid (7 day) solution-based screening test was developed using 15 annual Medicago cultivars and one M. sativa. Based on a relative root regrowth after exposures to aluminium (Al), Zodiac (M. murex), Orion sphaerocarpos) the polymorha Santiago, Cavalier Serena had greatest Al tolerance. Herald littoralis) Rivoli tornata) were most sensitive. Ranking for tolerance from solution culture correlated well (r = 0.80) with ranking of 16 genotypes grown in an acidic soil (unlimed pHCa 4.1). We...

<i>Background:</i> Interest in community-based participatory research (CBPR) has surged during the last several years because of its potential to enhance quality and usefulness outcomes. Practice-based networks (PBRNs) potentially can provide a bridge between endeavor communities; PBRNs have been identified as promising venue for CBPR. However, this marriage CBPR faces many challenges, such locus project idea generation, time constraints, funding limitations. <i>Methods:</i> This was case...

Students in required entry-level courses typically vary widely their work habits and thinking skills, as well course performance (often approximating a normal curve). Two particu larly important issues regarding these variations are (a) the rela tionship between skills (b) relationship of variables to measures. Minimal research has examined relationship(s) think ing habits, but considerable addressed independent linkage with variables. The studies targeting specific or academic provide...

Abstract In the class session following feedback regarding their scores on multiple-choice exams, undergraduate students in a large human development course rated strength of possible contributors to exam performance. Students items related personal effort preparing for (identified as student paper), ability perform well exams ability), and teacher input that might have affected most higher than items. Notwithstanding, across all ratings correlated more strongly with performance did ratings....
