a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oTo date, the large majority of the research literature on kinship care in the United States has focused on the similarities and differences between children and caregivers in "public" or "formal" vs. "private" or "informal" care. Our understanding of children's living arrangements in the homes of their relatives, however, is becoming more nuanced and complex. The stark differences between public and private care are increasingly mediated by hybrid kinship models that may be government facilitated, but are not considered fully public in nature. This paper lays out a framework for understanding the multiple custodial options available to non-indigenous children in the United States who need alternative care from a related adult. We introduce a taxonomy in which care arrangements are characterized as state mandated, state mediated, or state independent. The variability in custodial arrangements raises questions about the routes by which children arrive to care, and the sorting process that shuttles children into arrangements that may offer more or fewer services and supports. Policies that promote consistency within care types are recommended. Practices that make more transparent access across models and a research agenda to fill gaps in knowledge are discussed.
A growing number of children are being raised by relatives under a variety of different care arrangements. Although the extant literature provides rough estimates of the number and characteristics of children living in most care arrangements, research on kinship probate guardianship is especially scarce. This paper focuses on kinship probate guardianship in an effort to build the literature on this understudied population. It examines demographic information about caregivers and children pursuing kinship probate guardianship, the circumstances that necessitate children's alternative care, and reasons for selecting this custodial arrangement. Findings suggest that children and caregivers who select into kinship probate guardianship have characteristics similar to those of children and caregivers in other types of kinship care. These children move into the homes of their relatives for a variety of reasons primarily including parental desertion, detention, and drug use.
Updating and complementing a previous review on eye-tracking technology and the dynamics of natural gaze behavior in sports, this short review focuses on the progress concerning researched sports tasks, applied methods of gaze data collection and analysis as well as derived gaze measures for the time interval of 2016–2022. To that end, a systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines was conducted, searching Web of Science, PubMed Central, SPORTDiscus, and ScienceDirect for the keywords: eye tracking, gaze behavio*r, eye movement, and visual search. Thirty-one studies were identified for the review. On the one hand, a generally increased research interest and a wider area of researched sports with a particular increase in official’s gaze behavior were diagnosed. On the other hand, a general lack of progress concerning sample sizes, amounts of trials, employed eye-tracking technology and gaze analysis procedures must be acknowledged. Nevertheless, first attempts to automated gaze-cue-allocations (GCA) in mobile eye-tracking studies were seen, potentially enhancing objectivity, and alleviating the burden of manual workload inherently associated with conventional gaze analyses. Reinforcing the claims of the previous review, this review concludes by describing four distinct technological approaches to automating GCA, some of which are specifically suited to tackle the validity and generalizability issues associated with the current limitations of mobile eye-tracking studies on natural gaze behavior in sports.
El estudio busca determinar el efecto de la gamificación como estrategia de evaluación formativa en estudiantes de un Instituto de Educación Superior Tecnológico Público. Se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo, para ello, la investigación fue de tipo aplicada con diseño pre experimental. La muestra estuvo conformada por 24 estudiantes del V semestre del programa de estudios de Secretariado Ejecutivo. Se copiló los datos utilizando una rúbrica de evaluación. Así se elaboró 36 criterios y una escala ordinal de cuatro niveles para medir la variable evaluación formativa. Se utilizó la prueba estadística T de Wilcoxon obteniendo un Z = 4.288. Para la hipótesis general se obtuvo un valor p – valor <0.0001. El estudio concluye que hubo diferencias importantes al inicio (pretest) y al final del experimento (postest).
La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la influencia de los textos lúdicos en la Producción de textos en los estudiantes del III Ciclo, Mención: Lengua y literatura de la Facultad de Educación de la UNSLG, realizamos el diagnóstico que permitió evidenciar las limitaciones para producir textos de los estudiantes y proponer el uso de los textos lúdicos de manera recreativa convencidos que el juego es un recurso de aprendizaje renovador y motivador, planteamos nuestro problema general y específicos. La investigación fue de tipo aplicada con diseño cuasi experimental, método experimental, la muestra: 55 estudiantes distribuidos en grupo experimental, 30 estudiantes y grupo de control, 25 estudiantes, luego de aplicar los instrumentos, los resultados obtenidos comprobaron la hipótesis: Los textos lúdicos influyen significativamente en la Producción de textos en los estudiantes del III Ciclo de la mención de Lengua y Literatura de la Facultad de Educación. En la evaluación de entrada con respecto a la producción de textos el grupo de control obtuvo 80% en la categoría deficiente, 15% en la categoría regular y 5% en la categoría muy deficiente; el grupo experimental en la categoría deficiente obtuvo 95% y 5% en la categoría muy deficiente. En la evaluación de salida el grupo de control obtuvo 70% en la categoría deficiente, 30% en la categoría regular y el grupo experimental obtuvo 75% en la categoría regular, 15% en la categoría bueno y 10% en la categoría deficiente.
