The Impact of Metacognitive Knowledge, Achievement Orientation, and Anxiety on Test Performance

... worry, test-irrelevant thinking, and bodily symptoms. According to the author of
the Reactions to Tests questionnaire, "test-anxiety measures that deal with the
thoughts people have while being evaluated are more consistently related to
performance than are test-anxiety measures that deal with emotional reactions in
the same situations" (Sarason, 1984, p. 934). This implies that an appropriate
measure of trait anxiety would be the worry scale alone. However, correlations
between all ...

Ahyoka and the Talking Leaves

A Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People and recipient of the Florida Sunshine Award: In this absorbing chapter book, Ahyoka helps her father, Sequoyah, unlock the mystery of “talking leaves” to create the Cherokee alphabet Ahyoka is the daughter of Sequoyah, a silversmith who has given up most of his trade to focus on his true passion. He longs for the day when the Cherokee people can communicate to one another from afar and document the history of their lives. He wants his people—the Real People—to have a written language like the white men do. When he is ostracized from his community for the “magic” he is creating, he leaves his home to pursue his quest. His young daughter, who shares his dream, joins him on his journey. They work together to create a syllabic alphabet that will tell the story of the Cherokee people.

She took his stick and stirred the fire. Sparks shot up from the coals sleeping
under a log. The tip of the stick caught fire. Ahyoka pulled it across the sand to put
out the flame. She had made a straight line. She dragged the stick again, adding
a circle to the line. First a line. Then a circle touching the line. Over and over she
drew the same pattern. She could make the shapes from the book, but they
meant nothing to her. She felt like one of the circles, having no beginning and no
ending, ...

Power of the Talking Stick

Indigenous Politics and the World Ecological Crisis

The Power of the Talking Stick makes the case that, reaching back to the beginning of the nation-state and all through the current period of corporate-led globalisation, our governments and social institutions have been engaged in activities that will ultimately extinguish the world's ecological life support systems. This book offers an alternative, listening to indigenous leaders and others whose voices often go unheard in the din of contemporary culture. Sharon Ridgeway and Peter Jacques offer a stark warning, but their insights are firmly grounded in traditional knowledge and provide a way to see past the politics and rescue the earth. An important resource for climate activists, students and academics.

PREFACE LESSONS IN LISTENING The Mi«kmaw people of contemporary
Nova Scotia, Canada, have a tradition of using a ®talking stick, ̄ and this tool is
used to ensure that anyone who has something to say is given the space and
deference to do so. In American Indian Quarterly, Laura Donaldson describes it
this way: Our Mi«kmaw ancestors used the Talking Stick to guarantee that
everyone who wanted to speak would have a chance to be heard and that they
would be allowed ...

Reflections on the effectiveness of the Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana

The Effectiveness of International Environmental Agreements

A Survey of Existing Legal Instruments

This is the only work to bring together the final versions of the thirteen major research papers, commissioned for the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, Rio de Janeiro, June 1992), providing an authoritative and detailed survey and analysis of the effectiveness of 124 existing international agreements and instruments to protect the environment.

The Effectiveness of Rehabilitation for Cognitive Deficits

In this book, some of the leading clinicians and cognitive neuroscientists consider the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation. They situate the issues within an overall context that considers the different types and levels of diagnosis and assessment, the adequacy of underlying cognitive theory for rehabilitation, and more importantly, the clinical effectiveness of current treatments to improve functional recovery. By employing an evidence-based approach that critically evaluates the published literature, the book provides for a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the cognitive approach and hopefully a more realistic expectation of its outcome for patients with neurological deficits. The book will serve as a valuable source for a wide spectrum of professionals who deal with the neuropsychological and neurological effects of brain damage.

Research has demonstrated what clinicians have long understood, that it is these
disturbances of social conduct and adaptive behaviour following brain injury (
especially frontal brain injury) that constitute the most significant obstacles to
social reintegration (e.g. Mazaux etal. 1997). This chapter will review the
effectiveness of interventions for executive dysfunction in terms of the impact of
rehabilitation procedures on everyday activities. The level of difficulty that a
person has in carrying ...
