The Ohio State University Calculator and Computer Precalculus Project (C2PC) is a curriculum revision project designed to improve the mathematics preparation of college-bound high school students. The project is a cooperative effort of Ohio State University's mathematics department and the educational theory and practice department and of the Columbus, Southwestern, and Upper Arlington City school districts. Over fifty other high schools throughout the United States participated in the field test. Funding for the project comes from the Ohio Board of Regents. British Petroleum (Ohio), and the National Science Foundation.

Career Development Events

In recent years, many horticulture departments around the United States have been concerned with recruiting and retaining an adequate number of students. One potential recruitment opportunity is the horticulture Future Farmers of America (FFA) Career Development Events (CDEs). For the time period of 1999 to 2012 (14 years), 1462 students participated in the annual state-level horticulture contests, comprising floriculture and nursery/landscape CDEs, held at Kansas State University (KSU). Using the rosters from these two CDEs, we referenced the university’s student information database to determine whether the high school students who participated as FFA horticulture CDE contestants ultimately matriculated to KSU. Fifty-two percent of former FFA horticulture CDE participants were accepted to KSU and 32% matriculated. Of these, 58% enrolled in the College of Agriculture and 19% majored in horticulture. Therefore, 3.5% of total horticulture CDE participants majored in horticulture at KSU. Students who participated in more than one horticulture CDE over time were more likely to major in horticulture at KSU compared with students who competed only once. Thirty-nine percent of students who participated in both horticulture CDEs pursued a baccalaureate program in horticulture. These two student characteristics could be used as indicator data points to target recruitment of future horticulture students. Data about the high school programs that generated contest participants were also summarized. Exceling in the CDE contests was not an indicator CDE participants would pursue a baccalaureate degree in horticulture. These analyses suggest FFA CDEs have some potential to optimize student recruitment efforts.

Trends in thePsychological Indexindicated a change in resources directed toward education between the early 1910s and late 1920s. By 1930, “educational” studies accounted for the highest percentage—about 25 percent—of 25, 472 articles in psychology, with studies in “abnormal” and “social” psychology accounting for respectively 21 percent and 19 percent. This trend, evident in theReader's Guide to Periodical Literatureas well, reflected an increasing popularity of psychotherapeutic knowledge and products in clinics, courts, hospitals, prisons, and schools. As a growth market, education offered resources and was viewed as the most promising institution in the United States for regulating normality. By the late 1910s, “educational psychology” was central to institutions of teacher training. Certainly, for psychologists, psychology was the “the source of fundamental assumptions” for guiding educational practice. Teachers' views were similar. In one survey in the mid 1920s, teachers recognized educational psychology as the most intrinsically valuable course in their university programs. In other words, within institutions like The Ohio State University (OSU), requirements in teacher training provided psychologists with a mechanism for demonstrating the uses of psychotherapeutic knowledge, products, and procedures. These trends beg a simple question: What was educational psychology?

Cardiovascular Care

Abstract Background A large volume of literature has documented racial disparities in the delivery of cardiovascular care in the United States and that decreased access to procedures and undertreatment lead to worse outcomes. A lack of diversity among physicians is considered to be a major contributor. The fellowship training program in cardiovascular medicine at The Ohio State University Medical Center had never trained a fellow from a minority group underrepresented in medicine (URM) before 2007. Intervention In 2005, the fellowship made it a priority to recruit and match URM candidates in an effort to address the community's lack of diversity and disparities in cardiovascular care. Methods Program leaders revised the recruitment process, making diversity a high priority. Faculty met with members of diverse residency programs during visits to other institutions, the focus of interview day was changed to highlight mentorship, additional targeted postinterview communications reached out to highly competitive applicants, and a regular mentoring program was constructed to allow meaningful interaction with URM faculty and fellows. Results Since these changes were implemented, the program has successfully matched a URM fellow for 5 consecutive years. Such candidates currently make up 4 of 16 total trainees (25%) in the fellowship in cardiovascular medicine. Conclusions The cardiovascular medicine fellowship training program at The Ohio State University was able to revise recruitment to attract competitive URM applicants as part of a concerted effort. Other educational programs facing similar challenges may be able to learn from the university's experiences.

Актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что сегодня современный рынок труда требует от школы качественную подготовку обучающихся, которые должны обладать компетенциями ХХI века, включающими коммуникацию, критическое мышление, умение решать проблемы наряду с профессиональными компетенциями. Цель статьи ‑ выявление особенностей развития профессиональной социализации у обучающихся в США в условиях цифровизации и пандемии (Сovid–19), которые могут представлять определенный интерес для отечественных исследователей. Профессиональная социализация начинается в школе, когда обучающийся входит в мир профессиональной деятельности. На основе анализа американской научной литературы и собственных наблюдений авторы отмечают кардинальное изменение в системе профессиональной социализации подрастающих поколений, произошедшее в последнее десятилетие. Ими продемонстрировано, что новая программа «Карьерное и техническое образование СТЕ» представляет собой модель, состоящую из 16 кластеров. Обучающиеся выбирают, как правило, от 1 до 3 – 4 направлений». Авторы убедительно доказывают, что новизна данной программы заключается в том, что организаторам программы удалось соединить академическую и практическую стороны в одном модуле. Получив признанный работодателями сертификат сантехника, электрика, повара и т.д. выпускник школы может самостоятельно устроиться на работу. В современных условиях, связанных с пандемией, демонстрируются ситуации, позволяющие оценить, как учителя выходят из положения, работая онлайн по данной программе. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that today the modern labor market requires from school high-quality training of higher school students who have to possess the competencies of the 21-st century, including communication, critical thinking, the ability to solve problems along with professional competencies. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the development of professional socialization among high school students in the United States in the context of digitalization and a pandemic (СOVID-19), which may be of interest to Russian researchers. Professional socialization begins at school, when a higher school student enters the world of professional activity. The author's contribution is that that on the basis of analysis of American scientific literature and their own observations, they underline a fundamental change in the system of professional socialization of the younger generations that has occurred in the last decade. They have demonstrated that the new CTE “Career and Technical Education program” is a model consisting of 16 clusters. High school students choose, as a rule, from 1 to 3-4 directions". The authors convincingly prove that the novelty of this program lies in the fact that the organizers of the program managed to integrate the academic and practical aspects in one module. Having received a certificate recognized by employers as a plumber, electrician, cook, etc. a school graduate can independently get a job. In today's pandemic environment, situations how teachers are coping with the situation while working online are demonstrated.
