Strategies For Delivering Sexual Health Education To Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorders: An Integrative Review Of The Literature, Megan Harris
Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurobiological condition leading to cognitive and social deficits within individuals on the spectrum. Adolescence is a time of intense physical and psychosocial changes that prove difficult for youth with ASDs. As families work through this transition they try to navigate teaching sexual health to their adolescent with an ASD. Teaching should be done to promote health, healthy relationships, and to prevent victimization. Yet, parents report that they lack the knowledge and support to complete this task. The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize research on strategies for teaching sexual health education to …

Eclipse Ballooning Stem Outreach For Elementary, Middle, And High School Education, Peter Henson, Fnu Anamika, Denise Buckner, Marissa Saad, Caitlin Nolby
2017 Academic High Altitude Conference
To promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education through ballooning, the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC) organizes an annual Near-Space Balloon Competition (NSBC) for students in grades 6 - 12. Students across the state of North Dakota have the opportunity to launch experiments into a near- space environment. The students learn how to write proposals, design payloads, and analyze data. They learn through an active, inquiry-based style that will prepare them for real-world engineering and critical thinking jobs. In 2016, NSBC proposed Great American Eclipse as the theme for the competition, thus the students were focused on designing …

Impactful Practice: Lessons Learned Through Ballooning Outreach, Tracy Knowles, Leandro Braga, Alex Eberle, Tom Busby, John Paul Beard, Jessica Glasscock, Jacolby Gardner, Matt Smither
2017 Academic High Altitude Conference
The goal of Bluegrass Community and Technical College’s (BCTC) Eclipse Outreach Ambassador Project was to get students across the Bluegrass excited and educated about the 2017 total solar eclipse. Several years ago the BalloonSat Project was started to provide hands-on earth and atmospheric science experiences to BCTC students. In linking the two initiatives, we allowed BCTC BalloonSat team members to continue learning to design, build, test, fly and retrieve balloon-borne payloads while using a novel method by which to engage local elementary and middle school students in learning more about and anticipating the upcoming eclipse. Eclipse practice flights carried payloads …

These errors can result in poor outcomes, which increase harm or death. According to the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System, up to 15% of errors reported cite automated dispensing cabinets as the source of the drug involved in the error.Nearly 58% to 70% of hospitals nationwide use automated dispensing cabinets. Nurses play a critical role in promoting patient safety by surveilling and intercepting any possible errors that could occur during …

Conceptions Of Self, Other And Society: Exploring The Impact Of A Service-Learning For Social Justice Course On Student Positionality, Deborah Rintels Weiner
Conceptions Of Self, Other And Society: Exploring The Impact Of A Service-Learning For Social Justice Course On Student Positionality, Deborah Rintels Weiner
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
Change models of service-learning, or service-learning for social justice courses, are educational models that deeply integrate course content and a service requirement with a social justice agenda, where students are asked to consider the positionality or relative power and privilege of all participants in the service-learning dynamic as well as institutionalized inequity along lines of race, gender, sexuality, religion and other axes of exclusion in American society. Grounded in the teachings of Freire, and his “problem posing” educational model, that casts a critical eye on the role of traditional education as a “dehumanizing” relationship that works to oppress both teachers …
Experiencing The Implementation Of New Inquiry Science Curricula, Peter S. Ower
Experiencing The Implementation Of New Inquiry Science Curricula, Peter S. Ower
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
Using a phenomenological methodology, a cohort of four experienced science teachers was interviewed about their experience transitioning from traditional, teacher and fact-centered science curricula to inquiry-based curricula. Each teacher participated in two interviews that focused on their teaching backgrounds, their experience teaching the prior traditional curriculum, and their experience teaching the new inquiry-based curriculum. The findings are presented as a narrative of each teachers’ experience with the new curriculum implementation. Analyzing the data revealed four key themes. 1) The teachers felt trapped by the old curriculum as it did not align with their positive views of teaching science through inquiry. …
Urban Renewal And The Role Of The University Of Chicago In The Neighborhoods Of Hyde Park And Kenwood, David Belden
Urban Renewal And The Role Of The University Of Chicago In The Neighborhoods Of Hyde Park And Kenwood, David Belden
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
In the years that followed the end of World War II, the University of Chicago was a national leader in education. The University influenced economic growth, national security, and scholarly achievement through its professional education and scientific research. As a university located in a large metropolitan area, the University of Chicago also faced a dramatically changing set of neighborhood conditions that not only threatened its position and role within higher education, but also experienced social forces that jeopardized the future of the institution in the Hyde Park-Kenwood neighborhoods. With the gradual decline of large American cities in the postwar decades, …
Education Policy And Newspapers: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Jumana Khalifeh
Education Policy And Newspapers: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Jumana Khalifeh
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
This study examined the discursive framing of school closings as promoted by both the Educational Facilities Master Plan published by Chicago Public Schools in 2013 and the discourse of newspaper articles in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, and Catalyst Chicago. A critical discourse analysis approach as both theory and method allowed for better understanding of the political nature of social goods and uncovered relations of authority and power in the use of language in these texts. This study revealed the complicated nature of the interplay of neoliberalism, education policy, and the media in the form of newspapers; therefore, it …
Gender And Education: A Qualitative Study Of Women's Experiences At Selective Women's Colleges, Staci H. Zake
Gender And Education: A Qualitative Study Of Women's Experiences At Selective Women's Colleges, Staci H. Zake
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
This study examined women’s experiences in a single-sex academic environment to help us better understand broader issues in higher education related to the history of educating women and the role of women’s colleges within the U.S system. This dissertation research moved beyond existing research about elite single-sex schooling to better understand the experiences for graduates of second tier women’s colleges in relation to a women-centered environment. Findings support that female students attending second-tier women’s colleges experience the single-sex environment very similarly to peers attending top tier women’s colleges and can end up in similar places professionally as their peers at …

Nontraditional Adult Learners: The Neglected Diversity In Postsecondary Education, Joseph Chen
School of Continuing and Professional Studies Faculty Publications
In the discourse on diversity in colleges and universities in the United States, an often-neglected population is nontraditional adult learners. This article explores this invisible aspect of undergraduate diversity, and addresses how competence-based education, which focuses on demonstrating the actual ability to do , is an innovative approach that caters to adult learners’ life phase and learning needs. College arguably is a youth-centric phase of life generally designed for the younger student.However, the stereotypical full-time student who lives on campus is actually a small percentage of the entire postsecondary population. Due to the demands of an increasingly competitive world of …
