The Effect That Parents Expectations Have On Their Students, Molli Esplin
The Effect That Parents Expectations Have On Their Students, Molli Esplin
Student Research Symposium
Parents in this modern world have been causing their children more stress and in turn their mental health has been suffering. I wanted to see what can be done to help young adults and parents through this challenge. What I discovered was that a big cause of the increased stress was the parents' high expectations that they put on their kids. I used the library and internet databases to complete my research. I was able to use primary and secondary sources. In these sources I tried to be diverse in my source selections. This helped as I looked for different …
Care, Wellness, And Mindful Movement: Supporting The Needs Of Educators And Students During Challenging Times, Ashlyn Birchell
Care, Wellness, And Mindful Movement: Supporting The Needs Of Educators And Students During Challenging Times, Ashlyn Birchell
Student Research Symposium
Studies have shown that teachers who implement social emotional learning (SEL) and wellness practices have improved attitudes, show more engagement with students, families and colleagues, and demonstrate increased educational efficacy. The challenge teachers often face is that they are required to do so much that their own wellness practices may take a back seat. Additionally, since the start of the global pandemic, teachers and students have had to learn to repeatedly shift on the fly for health and safety reasons. This draws even more attention to the importance of promoting self-care as a form of community care. Previous literature reveals …
Broken Film Narratives: The Invisibility Of Latinx Women In Education Through Film And Literature, Virginia Hernández, Lisset Delgado
Broken Film Narratives: The Invisibility Of Latinx Women In Education Through Film And Literature, Virginia Hernández, Lisset Delgado
Student Research Symposium
Our research aims to explore the lack of Latinx women being portrayed in films with education as the central theme. Although there are Latinx women in films today, they are not portrayed in an entirely positive light. They are commonly represented in an oversexualized manner compared to latinx men who are portrayed as hard workers and commonly seeking education. A good example would be the film McFarland USA by Niki Caro in which young male adolescents are a part of a cross country team. Although the film does a great job of portraying their lives as latinx adolescents living in …
Normative Interventions: Are They Ethical When Helping Individuals With Autism?, Annie Bramson
Normative Interventions: Are They Ethical When Helping Individuals With Autism?, Annie Bramson
Student Research Symposium
When helping individuals with autism, both in school and in their later adult lives depending on when one receives their diagnosis, normative interventions have been the main treatment alongside therapy. Normative interventions look at behaviors an individual may express that others deem as inappropriate, disruptive, or even just autistic. Targeting said behavior, interactions are held to train the behavior out of the individual through various methods, including video modeling, self-management, and social stories. While these methods have seemed to be helpful with eradicating target behaviors, it does so without looking at the reason behind said behavior, as well as at …
Divorce: Another Barrier To Marginality, Shelby Green
Divorce: Another Barrier To Marginality, Shelby Green
Student Research Symposium
Divorce is an ever growing social problem that affects individuals from all corners of the world. People from all walks of life experience the effects of divorce, but marginalized groups that already have reduced access to social and legal resources and accurate representation are especially affected by divorce. The research at hand aims to determine exactly how marginalized groups, specifically children, LGBTQ, and ethnic minorities experience the effects of divorce in comparison to non marginalized groups. Research was conducted through the use of university sponsored data bases and analysis of primary and secondary sources. Peer reviewed scholarly articles and first …
Make Your (Punctuation) Mark!, Bethany Nay
Make Your (Punctuation) Mark!, Bethany Nay
Student Research Symposium
Punctuation marks are a part of our daily lives, and yet, we rarely take time to think about them. This presentation serves to counter that, diving deep into the histories and origins of various punctuation marks. Each student in Honors 1320 chose a punctuation mark to individually research, learning more about why we use the marks that we do. We hope that through this research, people can gain a deeper appreciation for punctuation marks and their histories. Students and additional presenters from Honors 1320: Annie Bramson, Audrey Douglas, Micaela Garcia, Erin Hamilton, Lucy Hankins, Gillian Jarrard, Eli Moss, Cynthia Narkin, …
Milestones In Computational Thinking And Mathematics Competencies In Early Childhood, Katelyn Childers
Milestones In Computational Thinking And Mathematics Competencies In Early Childhood, Katelyn Childers
Student Research Symposium
In Utah, the technology industry is rapidly growing, and with it the demand for a STEM workforce. Similarly, there is a push to integrate Computational Thinking (CT) and Computer Science (CS), usually in the form of coding, into K-12 education. While Utah has adopted standards to inform CS instruction, the standards lack an evidence-based foundation. Further, K-12 schools lack instructional minutes and resources to teach CT and coding. In order to address these needs, this project aims to collect empirical data on how students engage with computational thinking throughout early childhood. Our goal is to inform the further development of …
2nd Graders Being Creative With An Open-Ended Coding Robot Geometrical Math Task, Lauren Nix
2nd Graders Being Creative With An Open-Ended Coding Robot Geometrical Math Task, Lauren Nix
Student Research Symposium
This semester, I've been working with Dr. Joseph S. Kozlowski in his 2nd-grade classroom at Edith Bowen Laboratory School here at Utah State University. While student teaching, I've also been observing and facilitating what we call Botley Fridays. Each week, we give our students an open-ended math task to work on, explore, and complete using the coding robot Botley 2.0. This presentation contains the cool things our students did during a geometrical math task about shapes.
Curriculum Impact On Educational Philosophy Identification, Rebecca Tuttle
Curriculum Impact On Educational Philosophy Identification, Rebecca Tuttle
Student Research Symposium
An educator’s teaching philosophy represents their personal beliefs regarding the purpose of classroom instruction and the methods used to facilitate learning. While an individual’s educational philosophy often transforms over time, more research is needed to characterize influences on evolving theory and practice. This survey-based study was conducted to determine if the curricular content has an impact on teaching methodology despite a teacher’s philosophical identification. The study population comprised of adult learner-educators enrolled in a graduate educational philosophy class. The subjects were surveyed after completing a term examining the main tenets of five main educational philosophies (Liberal, Behavioral, Progressive, Humanist, Radical). …
