Understanding Latino Parental Involvement in Education: Perceptions, Expectations, and ... - 0 views

  •  
    Latinos1 have been continually overrepresented in low-skill and service sector U.S. jobs. One of the factors accounting for this is the educational experience of the Latino community, which has been characterized by low high school graduation rates, low college completion rates and substandard schooling conditions.2 As schools and policymakers seek to improve the educational conditions of Latinos, parental influence in the form of school involvement is assumed to play some role in shaping students' educational experiences.

    Asking questions well is the hardest part of applied social research. I It has two principal components. The first is selecting an issue ofsufficient importance, i.e., an issue with a likely "payoff' in knowledge and/or application. In this regard, not all questions are of equal value (Merton, 1959). Unfortunately, we are often uninterested or unwilling to make judgements about quality of questions, and instead focus most of our attention on research methodology. But research costs a great deal oftime and money. Years are required to even begin to address most questions. A scholar can address only a small number of questions in her entire career; and therefore -- ifshe wants to make a meaningful and lasting contribution, and who of us does not? -- she must choose her questions carefully. The second component of asking questions well is I Some may prefer to think ofsocial work as a profession rather than an applied social science. Certainly social work has elements of both. The emphasis in this paper is on the use of theory in knowledge building for application. In this sense, social work faces issues similar to other applied social sciences such as public administration, commuuity development, urban plamting, and public health, as well as applied branches of academic disciplines, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, and economics. As I discuss in this paper, the fact that social work is also a profession does not change the nature of knowledge, or the requirements for knowledge building. I to frame a research question that will be productive. It is possible, indeed common, to have an important issue but a research question that does not lead anywhere worthwhile. Toward the end ofthe lecture, I suggest that, for the purposes ofthe applied social sciences, certain structures ofinquiry may lead to theories that are more productive than others.

How to Create an Infographic in Under an Hour [10 Free Infographic Templates] - 4 views

  •  
    For once, a promoted tweet has proved useful! Hubspot has written a nice how-to on creating infographics, including 10 "free" templates. By "free", they want you to sign up for their marketing list, so they make it sound like they'll email you the templates. They won't. So, you can just enter your spam address & the download (a PowerPoint file) will be immediately available. If you enter a real email, you'll get your first marketing message ~10 mins later, with unsubscribe link. Don't do like I did & actually untick all the boxes! You can just scroll all the way down to the bottom & say you don't want to receive any emails, ever.

A Network Assessment of Community-Based Participatory Research: Linking Communities and... - 6 views

    "Public health researchers have advocated CBPR as a means to bring evidence-based public health policies and programs to communities and to enable researchers to conduct community-informed research. Despite these goals, no studies have evaluated whether linkages among agencies involved in the CBPR process have changed as a result of interventions. In our study, we measured network linkages across 14 topics to determine whether linkages among and between CBOs and universities have changed as a result of project activities."

Research Ethics Education for Community-Engaged Research: A Review and Research Agenda - 3 views

  •  
    "Community engagement is increasingly becoming an integral part of research. "Community-engaged research" (CEnR) introduces new stakeholders as well as unique challenges to the protection of participants and the integrity of the research process. We-a group of representatives of CTSA-funded institutions and others who share expertise in research ethics and CEnR-have identified gaps in the literature regarding (1) ethical issues unique to CEnR; (2) the particular instructional needs of academic investigators, community research partners, and IRB members; and (3) best practices for teaching research ethics. This paper presents what we know, as well as what we still need to learn, in order to develop quality research ethics educational materials tailored to the full range of stakeholder groups in CEnR."

Evaluating Community-Based Participatory Research to Improve Community-Partnered Scienc... - 2 views

  •  
    Since 2007, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Policy Research Center (PRC) has partnered with the Universities of New Mexico and Washington to study the science of community-based participatory research (CBPR). Our goal is to identify facilitators and barriers to effective community-academic partnerships in American Indian and other communities, which face health disparities.
