Getting with the (evidence-based) program: An evaluation of the Incredible Years Parenting Training Program in child welfare

This study evaluates four group sessions of the Incredible Years (IY) Parenting Training Program used for the first-time in two child welfare agencies in New York State. Few studies have examined process and evaluation outcomes of evidence-based parenting programs in child welfare. Qualitative staff interviews and surveys on parenting behaviors were used to examine program processes, improvements in parenting behaviors, and participant satisfaction. Program participation was associated with less parental distress, defensive responding, dysfunctional parent-child interactions, child difficulty, total stress, and greater empathy and social support. The effectiveness of this evidence-based, parent education program in the context of a child welfare population, as well as implementation challenges and recommendations, are discussed.     

A multi-site evaluation of Parents Raising Safe Kids Violence Prevention Program

The Parents Raising Safe Kids Program (PRSK) is a research-based manualized violence prevention curriculum designed to decrease coercive parenting behavior, encourage positive discipline, increase media violence literacy, and increase child development knowledge. This study is a multi-site pre-post comparison evaluation of PRSK's effectiveness with diverse parents, including those who are incarcerated, in drug treatment and both English and Spanish speaking. Results indicate that PRSK was successful at improving media violence literacy, positive parenting behavior, child development knowledge, anger management, and prosocial problem solving. Additionally, PRSK was especially efficacious for Spanish speaking participants, who improved more than English speakers. Due to the need for appropriate and cost-effective programs for underrepresented groups, these results add to the growing evidence base supporting the use of PRSK with diverse parents. PRSK is effective in educating caregivers about nonviolent parenting behavior and child development. It is flexible, focuses on parents of very young children, and is cost effective. The program costs a fraction of other evidence-based practices yet statistical effect sizes for change over time are comparable.     

关于本科院校实施“卓越计划”的几点思考——基于教学管理的视角

高等教育是一国发展的重要支撑,国家的发展会不断对高等教育改革提出要求。"卓越计划"作为教育部实施的一项重要教改计划,一方面为高校改革不合理的人才培养模式提供新的机遇,另一方面也对传统的教学管理提出新的挑战。在对"卓越计划"和传统的"学科式"教学管理特点进行比较的基础上,就完善"卓越计划"要求下教学管理改革所涉及的重大问题进行了思考,并提出相关意见建议。     

基于理论与实践融合视角的教师教育模式探析——以美国夏威夷大学MET计划为例简

美国夏威夷大学通过实行两年的教学型教育硕士（MET）计划培养未来教师。该计划以实践探究为核心,以倡导合作的学习共同体为文化准则,以有效教师——反思性实践者的培养为主要目标,通过在大学与中小学之间建立紧密的伙伴关系实现理论与实践的融合。该项目围绕四项基本指导原则和多位一体的培养目标,通过高度融合的课程以及以探究为本的学习方式培养了大量的高品质的教师,其设计集中体现了理论与实践的融合特征,对其经验进行总结可为我国教师教育改革发展提供借鉴。     

西部天保工程建设对农民收入的影响效应实证分析

西部地区是我国天然林资源保护工程的重点建设区域,工程建设与农民收入息息相关。运用2003—2011年西部11个省份的面板数据,采用面板向量自回归和脉冲响应分析研究工程建设对农民收入产生的影响。结果表明:西部地区天保工程建设在短期内对农民收入和城乡收入差距的影响具有一定的波动性,从长期来看,工程建设降低了农民的整体收入,并且拉大了城乡收入之间的差距。因此我国西部地区的天保工程不应继续通过加大资金投入的方式来进行建设,而应在投资建设保持稳定的前提下,通过对现有政策进行改进来提高农民收入。     

Evaluating program effects: Conceptualizing and demonstrating a typology

Outcome evaluation is very important for program evaluation and has been becoming increasingly so in the age of accountability. Typically, outcome evaluation is conducted for a single program from a single perspective. However, in a real-life situation, many programs exist in a system, and the effects could be viewed from various perspectives. The authors illustrate a typology of program effects in a system. It moves from the paradigm of a single program’s single effect to that of a set of programs’ multiple effects. Methodological implications are discussed.     

Impact of the Health Resources and Services Administration’s state oral health workforce grant program on dental workforce density and access to oral health care

BackgroundThe Health Resources and Services Administration’s Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities, otherwise known as the State Oral Health Workforce Program (SOHWP), help states develop and implement innovations that address the workforce needs of dental Health Professional Shortage Areas in a manner appropriate to the states’ individual needs.AimThis cross-sectional study explores the broad impact of the SOHWP by comparing measures of dental workforce density and access to oral health care in states with multiple years of funding versus states with few or no years of funding.MethodsWe used data for 2006–2016 SOHWP awardees together with data from the 2016–2017 Area Health Resources Files and the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to compare numbers of dentists per 100,000 population and age-adjusted prevalence of annual dental visits among adults for long-term SOHWP-funded states versus states with few or no years of funding.ResultsMulti-year SOHWP funding is associated with higher workforce density and greater access to oral health care, especially in the Midwest and West.ConclusionAllowing states funding utilization flexibility may result in improved outcomes. This finding can help inform planning and policy about whether and how to scale future training and workforce programs to achieve greater impact.
