Student Perceptions of Discretion in Discipline: Seeking Resolution and Restoration in a Punitive Culture

This study examined high school student perceptions of discretion utilized by educators in high school disciplinary proceedings. Using a sample of 6 high school students who had experienced differing levels of formal discipline, the study investigated the discretionary factors that influence an educator's decision making. The study was a generic qualitative study where the primary source of data collection was open-ended interviews to ensure the integrity of the research as a study of student voices and perceptions. Journaling was also employed to record observations and to identify researcher assumptions. The data were analyzed employing aspects of a grounded theory approach. The findings were coded to reveal 5 areas high school students identified in relation to discipline and discretion: punitive discipline versus problem resolution, effective processes, educator discretion, student discretion, and the student-educator relationship. The final discussion highlights the need for a community vision for high school discipline in order to channel discretion and to uphold students' best interests. Restorative justice is proposed as a feasible vision for high school discipline, whereby participants' responses are measured against a restorative paradigm.

Etude théorique des propriétés électroniques et optiques des super-réseaux de Si/SiO2

FRANCAIS: L'observation d'une intense luminescence dans les super-réseaux de Si/SiO2 a ouvert de nouvelles avenues en recherche théorique des matériaux à base de silicium, pour des applications éventuelles en optoélectronique. Le silicium dans sa phase cristalline possède un gap indirect, le rendant ainsi moins intéressant vis-à-vis d'autres matériaux luminescents. Concevoir des matériaux luminescents à base de silicium ouvrira donc la voie sur de multiples applications. Ce travail fait état de trois contributions au domaine. Premièrement, différents modèles de super-réseaux de Si/SiO2 ont été conçus et étudiés à l'aide de calculs ab initio afin d'en évaluer les propriétés structurales, électroniques et optiques. Les deux premiers modèles dérivés des structures cristallines du silicium et du dioxyde de silicium ont permis de démontrer l'importance du rôle de l'interface Si/SiO2 sur les propriétés optiques. De nouveaux modèles structurellement relaxés ont alors été construits afin de mieux caractériser les interfaces et ainsi mieux évaluer la portée du confinement sur les propriétés optiques. Deuxièmement, un gap direct dans les modèles structurellement relaxés a été obtenu. Le calcul de l'absorption (par l'application de la règle d'or de Fermi) a permis de confirmer que les propriétés d'absorption (et d'émission) du silicium cristallin sont améliorées lorsque celui-ci est confiné par le SiO2. Un décalage vers le bleu avec accroissement du confinement a aussi été observé. Une étude détaillée du rôle des atomes sous-oxydés aux interfaces a de plus été menée. Ces atomes ont le double effet d'accroître légèrement le gap d'énergie et d'aplanir la structure électronique près du niveau de Fermi. Troisièmement, une application directe de la théorique des transitions de Slater, une approche issue de la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité pour des ensembles, a été déterminée pour le silicium cristallin puis comparée aux mesures d'absorption par rayons X. Une très bonne correspondance entre cette théorie et l'expérience est observée. Ces calculs ont été appliqués aux super-réseaux afin d'estimer et caractériser leurs propriétés électroniques dans la zone de confinement, dans les bandes de conduction.
