COVID wrought havoc on the world’s economic systems. Higher education did not escape the ravages brought on by the pandemic as institutions of higher education around the world faced major upheavals in their educational delivery systems. Some institutions were prepared for the required transition to online learning. Most were not. Whether prepared or not, educators rose to the challenge. The innovativeness of educators met the challenges as digital learning replaced the face-to-face environment. In fact, some of the distance models proved so engaging that many students no longer desire a return to the face-to-face model. As with all transitions, some things were lost while others were gained. This book examines practice in the field as institutions struggled to face the worst global pandemic in the last century. The book is organized into four sections on 'Changing Education”, 'Education in the Pandemic”, 'Sustaining University Education”, and 'Embracing the Future in a Global World”. It presents various perspectives from educators around the world to illustrate the struggles and triumphs of those facing new challenges and implementing new ideas to empower the educational process. These discussions shed light on the impact of the pandemic and the future of higher education post-COVID. Higher education has been forever changed, and higher education as it once was may never return. While many questions arise, the achievements in meeting and overcoming the pandemic illustrate the creativity and innovativeness of educators around the world who inspired future generations of learners to reach new heights of accomplishment even in the face of the pandemic.

Based on the ideas of Russian psychologists Lev Vygotsky and Alexander Luria, this book explores methods of preventing or overcoming learning disabilities. Tatiana V. Akhutina and Natalia M. Pylaeva build on Vygotsky and Luria's sociocultural theory and their principle of a systemic structure and dynamic organization of higher mental functions. They focus on the interactive scaffolding of the weak components of the child's functional systems, the transition from joint child-adult co-actions, and the emotional involvement of the child. The authors discuss effective ways to remediate issues with attention, executive functions (working memory and cognitive control) and spatial and visual-verbal functions. Overcoming Learning Disabilities translates complex problems into easily understandable concepts useful to school psychologists, special and general education teachers, and parents of children with learning disabilities.

This book focuses on diversity, culture, and ethnicity as they relate to psychological assessment of Hispanics. It is a how-to guide for clinicians, researchers, and instructors working with Hispanic clients. Each chapter contains an overview of cultural considerations needed for assessing the Hispanic client followed by a specific exploration of the assessment measures available and the research that has been conducted on these measures with Hispanic participants. An exploration of the strengths and limitations of each assessment measure is included. Considering that ethnocultural minority individuals who are of Hispanic/Latino origin make up the largest ethnocultural minority group in the United States, guidelines for working with this population are a must. Given that a large subset of this percentage is composed of immigrants many of whom do not speak English or who have learned English as a second language, special considerations for effective psychological assessment are neccessary.This book fills a gap in the scientific literature by consolidating the research on psychological assessment with Hispanic samples into one comprehensive volume and providing simple recommendations for the psychological assessment of Hispanic clients. An exploration of the general psychological assessment domains (e.g., personality, intelligence) is included with references to research on the major assessment measures used in the field. A more specific exploration of psychodiagnostic assessment measures follows, including the assessment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sexual dysfunction, psychosis, etc. Several chapters are dedicated to specialized assessment, including neuropsychological assessment, forensic assessment, and school-based assessment, overall creating the most comprehensive, up-to-date, research-based compendium of psychological assessment measures for use with Hispanic clients.

A mediados de los años 60 y con el objetivo de proponer unos índices de avance en sintaxis de los escolares que fuesen objetivos y replicables, K. W. Hunt diseña los denominados índices de madurez sintáctica, los cuales han sido ampliamente utilizados desde entonces y con múltiples aplicaciones. Este trabajo utiliza los índices primarios (longitud de la unidad terminal, longitud de la cláusula e índice de subordinación) para determinar la influencia de varias variables sociales sobre el desarrollo sintáctico en el discurso escrito de escolares del municipio de Almería entre 12 y 18 años. Asimismo, pretende comprobar la validez como índices del desarrollo sintáctico de medidas del error diseñadas al efecto y de medidas de las expresiones nominales, así como la correlación entre extensión de los textos (medida en palabras y en unidades terminales) e índices de madurez sintáctica. Finalmente, todo ello se estudiará a través de dos tipos de elicitación de discurso escrito: escritura libre y reescritura, con el objeto de comprobar la eficacia del segundo de los métodos para el español. Para ello se ha seleccionado una muestra representativa de la población por cuotas con afijación proporcional, redundando en 337 sujetos, cada uno de los cuales escribió dos redacciones, según cada uno de los métodos de elicitación. Las variables sociales para la estratificación fueron: curso (6o de primaria, 2o ESO, 4o ESO y 2o Bachillerato), sexo, clase social (baja, media y alta; determinada por profesión y nivel educativo de los padres), zona del centro (centro, barriada, anejos y marginal) y tipo de centro (público o privado). El corpus compuesto con dichas producciones fue segmentado en palabras, unidades terminales (distinguiendo con y sin errores) y en cláusulas y se procedió a su recuento y análisis estadístico. En la introducción se describe con detalle la estructura de la tesis y sus objetivos. En los capítulos I, II y III se realiza una introducción a estos estudios: su pertinencia, su historia, sus aplicaciones, los resultados obtenidos y sus limitaciones también. Los capítulos IV y V son metodógicos, en el capítulo IV se presentan objetivos e hipótesis operativas mientras en el siguiente se expone el método empleado (muestreo, elaboración del corpus, segmentación y análisis estadístico). En el capítulo VI se exponen los resultados y en el último, el VII, las conclusiones, tanto descriptivas como metodológicas. Se incluyen además un índice de figuras, otro de tablas y anexos con los materiales empleados para el muestreo y con el corpus utilizado.
