...Effectiveness of the Social Studies Solutions at Harnett Central High School Jerry L. Sarchet, Jr. Education 622: Research April 24, 2007 Abstract Overwhelming evidence in numerous studies demonstrated the value of student performance linked with their ability to take and review notes. Teachers have sought the best way to provide notes for student. In 2006, Harnett County Schools adopted an alternative approach to note taking and instructional delivery called the Social Studies Solutions. It was found that the Social Studies Solutions enhanced the Civics and Economics End of Course Test results by implanting the new instructional delivery and method of note taking for students. Introduction In the game of high stakes testing in the classroom, teachers are judged on their ability to help students pass standardized tests. Teacher autonomy on material taught has slowly dwindled away in North Carolina with the Standard Course of Study. Teachers must teach their subject within guidelines set by the state. Additionally, teacher discretion on a child’s knowledge is reduced with the standardized tests that decide if a child has received a “sound, basic education (Brief History of the Leandro Case, 2007).” Standardized tests have become essential to insure all children learn the same material in accordance with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Additionally, schools are evaluated upon their ability to help students pass said exams. Their performances on...

Schmitz b a b Department of Economics, University of Heidelberg, Bergheimer Str. 58, 69115 Heidelberg, Germany Department of Economics, University of Cologne, Germany a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t We use a simple, three-item test for cognitive abilities to investigate whether established behavioral biases that play a prominent role in behavioral economics and finance are related to cognitive abilities. We find that higher test scores on the cognitive reflection test of Frederick [Frederick, S., 2005. Cognitive reflection and decision-making. Journal of Economic Perspectives 19, 25–42] indeed are correlated with lower incidences of the conjunction fallacy and conservatism in updating probabilities. Test scores are also significantly related to subjects’ time and risk preferences. Test scores have no influence on the amount of anchoring, although there is evidence of anchoring among all subjects. Even if incidences of most biases are lower for people with higher cognitive abilities, they still remain substantial. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

General Overview This course is about how we understand International Relations (IR) and what major international actors operate in a number of contemporary policy areas. As it serves as an introduction to the discipline of IR, it starts with some of the basic concepts in it: e.g. war and peace; the role of the state, etc. This is complemented by introducing the role of International (governmental) Organizations (IOs) such as the UN, WTO, NATO, the EU, OSCE, CoE; and International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs), such as Amnesty International; Greenpeace; Medicins Sans Frontieres; etc. The course also introduces the role of the individual and self-organized groups of individuals that claim actorness in IR (advocacy groups; epistemic communities, policy networks; guerrillas; pirates; terrorist groups, etc.). In covering these issues, students are acquainted with some of the main theoretical debates in IR (e.g. Neo-Realism; Neo-Liberal Institutionalism; Social Constructivism; etc.). The lectures provide the general framework for discussing the role of the abovementioned...
