Architecture Fast And Slow: Spatial And Material Procrastination, Sara Khorshidifard, Hannah Dewhirst Nov 2018

Architecture Fast And Slow: Spatial And Material Procrastination, Sara Khorshidifard, Hannah Dewhirst

Sara Khorshidifard

At times when irresistible, all-accelerating technologies prompt normative social influences growing expectations for speediness, architecture is not immune. This paper explores time-space speculations in the ambitious pursuits of idealistically paced architectures. Outcomes present a palette of possibilities for discerning slow architecture as a paradigm. Grounding in the nature of design enticing postponements, the study explores, construes, and curates possibilities to bring in the advantage of slower thinking, sensing, making, and educating. Universal urges for speed are undeniable. Future of cities may also well remain digital with technologies persisting further impacts on limits and possibilities of all disciplines including architecture. What …

Methods: A total of 226 oncology nurses who actively provide direct care to patients from inpatient and outpatient oncology units in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest completed the online or mail survey. Exploratory factor analysis and parallel analysis showed the multidimensionality of the role competency scale on shared decision-making nurses. Results: The role competency scale on shared decision-making nurses revealed four dimensions: knowledge, attitudes, communication, and adaptability. The 22 items have excellent internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha of …

Reactions, Reflections, And Responsibility: A Responsive Evaluation Of An Emerging Blended E-Learning Subject, Peter W. Kilgour, Phil Fitzsimmons Jun 2018

Reactions, Reflections, And Responsibility: A Responsive Evaluation Of An Emerging Blended E-Learning Subject, Peter W. Kilgour, Phil Fitzsimmons

Peter Kilgour

In the decade since Schrum and Hong’s comment that “online learning has rapidly become a popular method of edu - cation for traditional and non-traditional students,” this approach to tertiary learning has morphed through several generational forms and platforms to the point where it has become firmly entrenched in the Australian tertiary landscape. As a broad generalization, e-learning, online, or flexible learning in many universities represents a spectrum of “information communications technology” (hereafter referred to as ICT) usage that ranges from little or no actual real-time interaction or “face-to-face” contact with associated viewing linkages such as YouTube through to teaching …

Thomas Fowler IV, DPACSA, FAIA

The Cal Poly Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies (LAES), Architecture, and Computer Science programs are working with the Downtown Sacramento Partnership to redesign a pedestrian passageway connecting historical Sacramento California with modern Sacramento. The goal is to create an inviting space for visitors and locals that fills the passageway with interactive light displays celebrating the history and culture of Sacramento. This passageway will also provide a continually changing venue for engaging, family-friendly artworks connected to community festivals, fairs, and markets. 
 
With the support of an education grant from the Hearst Foundation for 2017-2018, the Cal Poly team is researching …

Theological Foundations Of Pastoral Care In Catholic Universities, Thomas V. Gourlay Apr 2018

Theological Foundations Of Pastoral Care In Catholic Universities, Thomas V. Gourlay

Thomas V. Gourlay

One defining element of life in any Catholic educational institution, whether it be primary, secondary, or tertiary, is the focus on pastoral care for staff and students. This paper provides a distinctly Catholic definition of the term ‘pastoral care’ and briefly examines the theological foundations that underpin this concept, particularly, in relation to its application in the Catholic university. The paper traces the motif of pastoral care through the Scriptures and, building on insights from St. Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities, Ex Corde Ecclesiae (1990) and the broader theological anthropology of the Vatican II Council. The …


Confronting, Collaborating, And Crafting: An Enlivening Methodology For Academic Ecojustice Activism, Peta White, Sandra Wooltorton, Marilyn Palmer Apr 2018

Confronting, Collaborating, And Crafting: An Enlivening Methodology For Academic Ecojustice Activism, Peta White, Sandra Wooltorton, Marilyn Palmer

Sandra Wooltorton

In order to strengthen academic ecojustice activism, we share tales of challenge and success from a collaborative auto-ethnographic project located in three contexts across Australia. We describe and theorise how we knead critical events to deconstruct and then reconstruct them for the purpose of activism. The process is one of collectively scaffolding and layering our understandings of these events, sharing alternative perspectives and then crafting fictionalised stories which we share to illustrate our methods and findings. The purpose of our practice is to stay open to different perspectives and to hold self and others to account to caring, loving ways …

Independent Christian Colleges And Universities, William Vance Trollinger Apr 2018

Independent Christian Colleges And Universities, William Vance Trollinger

William Vance Trollinger Jr.

The category independent Christian colleges and universities is not a very large one. The reason for this is rather simple: as William Ringenberg has noted in the introduction to his helpful 1988 bibliography on such schools, "there are not many contemporary colleges and universities that are both continuing Christian in philosophical orientation and independent of denominational ties in governance." While this may change in the future, given the weakening of denominational loyalties among American Protestants, the fact remains that there are not too many independent Christian colleges.

For purposes of this essay I will I be looking at fourteen institutions. …


When Technology Is Too Hot, Too Cold Or Just Right, Jonathan Howell Mar 2018

When Technology Is Too Hot, Too Cold Or Just Right, Jonathan Howell

Jonathan Howell

Many instructors acknowledge the importance of quantitative literacy in non-STEM fields and may themselves use advanced tools for data analysis, statistics and visualization. But how, if at all, does an instructor introduce quantitative methods into the classroom without overwhelming and disengaging students who may have been drawn to the field precisely because it has not traditionally required any skill or interest in science, technology, engineering or math? I present a model of iterative assignment design illustrated by the evolution of a phonetic exercise in which students are asked to measure vowels from their own speech and to plot their measurements …


The Influence Of Feminist Pedagogy On Student Participation And Student Perception Of Learning Environment In Distance Education: A Comparative Study Of Web-Based Graduate Distance Education Courses, Tammy R. Johnson Mar 2018

The Influence Of Feminist Pedagogy On Student Participation And Student Perception Of Learning Environment In Distance Education: A Comparative Study Of Web-Based Graduate Distance Education Courses, Tammy R. Johnson

Tammy R. Johnson

The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship existed between the level of feminist pedagogy employed in a course and student participation or student perception in that course. The study attempted to measure the level of feminist pedagogy employed in eight randomly selected, web-based distance education courses using a researcher-created instrument: The Feminist Pedagogy Scoring Rubric. Additionally, student perception of learning environment in each course was analyzed through the use of the Distance and Open Learning Environment Scale (DOLES). The rate of student participation in each course was determined by analyzing archived online communications. Four main tenets …
