“…The Lubben Social Network Index measured social integration experience by the caregiver through the number of individuals the caregiver interacts with monthly, talks with comfortably, and asks assistance from easily. 30 The three items were rated on a six-point scale ranging from zero (no individuals) to five (nine or more individuals), and we calculated a total score (range 0-15). Higher scores indicated more social integration.…”

Objective The objective of this study was to examine the role of social support in predicting depression in caregivers of adults aging with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Design Cross-sectional secondary data analyses were conducted for this study. Setting Participants were recruited from multiple community locations in Pittsburgh, PA and Miami, FL. Subjects Community-dwelling caregivers of aging adults with SCI (N=173) were interviewed as part of a multisite randomized clinical trial. Main measures The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale measured caregiver depression symptom levels. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis examined the effect of social support (social integration, received social support, and negative social interactions) on depressive symptoms levels for the caregivers of adults aging with SCI, controlling for demographic characteristics and caregiving characteristics. Results Caregivers were, on average, 53 years old (SD=15) and care-recipients were 55 years old (SD=13). Average Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale scores indicated that sixty-nine (40%) caregivers had significant depressive symptoms (mean 8.69, SD=5.5). Negative social interactions (β̂ =.27, P<.01) and social integration (β̂ =−.25, P<.01) were significant independent predictors of depressive symptom levels in caregivers of adults aging with SCI. Conclusions Findings demonstrate that negative social interactions and social integration are associated with burden in caregivers of adults aging with SCI. Negative social interactions and social integration should be investigated in assessments and interventions intended to target caregiver depressive symptom levels.

“…The pedagogical problems complied by Costenson & Lawson (1986) include: inquiry labs require too much energy to teach, inquiry is risky because the administration may not understand what is going on and think that the teacher is doing a poor job, and inquiry textbooks lock a teacher into a particular teaching sequence and the teacher cannot skip labs because there is too much new material in each lab. In England, Lubben & Ramsden (1998) interviewed 18 chemistry teachers who indicated that they had most problems in guiding students to select a research topic and reformulate it into an investigation. Generally, teachers do not know how to withhold answers from students to maintain an atmosphere that encourages inquiry (Furtak, 2006).…”

Science teachers generally find inquiry-based laboratory work very difficult to manage. This research project aimed at facilitating chemistry teachers to implement inquiry-based laboratory work in Hong Kong secondary schools. The major concerns of seven chemistry teachers were identified. They were most concerned about the lack of class time, shortage of effective instructional materials, and the need to teach large classes. To allay teacher concerns, teaching strategies were developed to aid teachers. The strategies include the use of guided inquiry rather than open inquiry, development of ten examples of authentic inquiry, and inclusion of student oral presentations as a key component of the inquiry process. Trials done in schools indicated that these strategies are useful.
