After-School Programs

After-School Programs

Asil Ali Özdoğru and Judy Hartley

After-school programs provide organized and supervised activities for school-age children. The need for after-school programs in the United States emerged because of historical changes in American education and the workforce. Evaluations of programs show that high-quality programs foster positive outcomes in participating students. Current issues with implications for the future include: funding, staff professionalism, and advocacy. After-school programs are commonly defined as structured or unstructured, supervised programs for school-age children conducted before or after school hours. Programs may extend services to other out-of-school times such as evenings, weekends, days when school is closed, school vacations, summer break, teacher institute days, or parent-teacher conference days. Programs may be located in school buildings or in other community facilities that lend themselves to the space requirements necessary for after-school programming. Program content varies widely and may include: academic support, educational experiences, recreation and sports, life-skills development, and visual and performing arts and crafts...

Legally-Exempt Child Care

Legally-Exempt Child Care: What Does it Mean in New York State?

Asil Ali Özdoğru, Rebekah M. Widrick, and Jessica Klos Shapiro

While it is widely accepted that high-quality care is important to future outcomes, a significant number of New York’s young children are receiving care in a setting known as legally-exempt child care which is subject to minimal regulation and oversight. There is little information about the quality of this form of child care and many questions about the impact on children. New York uses more of its federal child care funding on legallyexempt care in comparison to other states. In 2011, New York State had a capacity for 680 thousand children in its licensed and registered child care system. In the same year, 246 thousand children received subsidized child care. Over 95 thousand of the children in subsidized care received legally-exempt care.

This paper provides a look at the legallyexempt child care in New York by reviewing research on unlicensed child care, examining how other states support legally-exempt care, and identifying key issues for further research and discussion. The paper lays out the known and unknown conditions and outcomes of legally-exempt child care with the goal of drawing attention to legally-exempt care and initiating a discussion on the accessibility and affordability of quality child care for all citizens of New York.  Policy recommendations are included for further discussion.

Humor 2013

Humorous Cartoons in College Textbooks: Student Perceptions and Learning

Asil Ali Özdoğru and Robert F. McMorris

We investigated effects of humorous cartoons on students' perceptions and learning of psychological concepts with sense of humor as a moderator. One hundred fifty-six college students studied six one-page concept presentations, three with and three without content-related cartoons. All students responded to the Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale, multiple-choice test items on the given concepts, and survey items including demographic questions and Likert-scale items on their perceptions of the concept presentations. Students reported favorable attitudes for inserting cartoons in reading passages. However, there was no apparent effect of humorous cartoons on students' learning of the concepts. Methodological considerations are discussed in terms of their likely effects on the findings of the study and suggestions for further research are offered.

Keywords: humorous cartoons; humor in learning; memory; student perceptions of humor; sense of humor

Çocuk ve Ergenlerde Öteki Bağlamında Benlik ve Kimlik Gelişimi

Asil Ali Özdoğru

Ötekiyle ilintili olarak gelişen benlik algısı ve kimlik tanımları bireyin hem kendini hem de çevresini anlaması ve anlamlandırması açısından son derece önemlidir. Bu süreçlerin daha yoğun ve şekilleyici olarak yaşandığı çocukluk ve ergenlik dönemleri olumlu gelişimler açısından oldukça elverişlidir. Benlik ve kişilik gelişimini etkileyen temel çevresel etkenleri göz önüne alarak uygulanabilecek sosyal program ve uygulamalar ötekinin daha sağlıklı ve yapıcı olarak algılanmasına imkân verebilir.

FYI 2013

The Night has a thousand eyes,
And the Day but one;
Yet the light of
the bright world dies

With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart
but one;

Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

Francis Bourdillon (1873) The Night has a Thousand Eyes


But man is a Noble Animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave, solemnizing Nativities and Deaths with equal lustre, nor omitting Ceremonies of Bravery, in the infamy of his nature. Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible Sun within us.

Thomas Browne (1658) Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial
