The CYFS team has been closely monitoring the situation around COVID-19, and while the immediate risk of infection for most Americans remains low, recent events have raised the risk in some communities.
In an effort to ensure the safety and well-being of the university community and its many partners, and to comply with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance on large in-person gatherings, the following CYFS events have been canceled and may be rescheduled at a later date:
HyeonJin Yoon, CYFS research assistant professor, led a March 13 presentation in the Spring 2020 Methodology Applications Series at the Nebraska Union. Her presentation, “Regression Discontinuity Designs in Social Science Research: Causal Inference of Cutoff-Based Programs,” is now available on video.
Natalie Koziol, CYFS research assistant professor, led a Feb. 7 presentation in the Spring 2020 Methodology Applications Series. Her presentation, “Pursuing Causal Inferences in the Absence (or Failure) of Random Assignment: An Introduction to Propensity Score Analysis,” is now available on video.
Ed Daly, professor of educational psychology, led a Nov. 15 presentation in the Fall 2019 Methodology Applications Series. His presentation, “Single-Case Experimental Designs: Can You Really Conduct a True Experiment With So Few Participants?” is now available on video.
For the past 15 years, the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools has worked tirelessly to impact lives by conducting, supporting and sharing high-quality research in the social, behavioral and educational sciences.
For the next 15 years, the center has no plans to slow down.
For early childhood researchers, sharing a study’s findings with the public is a key element of their work. But a myriad of considerations can sometimes make the process confusing.
More than a dozen early childhood researchers gathered Oct. 29 for the NAECR Knowledge presentation, “Making Your Data Publicly Available.” Erica DeFrain and Leslie Delserone of University Libraries joined Jeffrey Stevens, associate professor of psychology, to lead a discussion about best practices for releasing research data to the public.
Interpersonal violence affects an untold number of Nebraskans. Too often, victims of physical, sexual and psychological violence, especially among youth and minority populations, do not have adequate support. And communities may lack appropriate training to safely intervene when those they care about are at risk for intimate partner abuse.
About a dozen early childhood researchers and policymakers gathered Oct. 10 for the inaugural NAECR Policy Fellows Program event.
The program features a series of informal conversations between First Five Nebraska and early childhood researchers at the Nebraska Academy for Early Childhood Research.
