The Structure Of Chinese Higher Education Corruption: A Case Statistical Analysis, Qingli Meng
The Structure Of Chinese Higher Education Corruption: A Case Statistical Analysis, Qingli Meng
Ethics Conference
Corruption in the Chinese higher educational sector is an increasing concern but it has not been systematically studied. This paper distinguishes three major intermingled structural typologies of corruption in the Chinese higher education sector: academic specific, non-academic specific and a combination of the two. Data supporting this conceptualization come from a case statistical analysis of a non-randomized sample of 215 court decisions on corruption cases detected in Chinese universities during 1994-2009, complemented with a perception-based survey in different Chinese universities. The result postulates taxonomy of the distribution of corruption among the three typologies. This study finds non-academic specific corruption cases …
University Faculty Perceptions Of Research Practices And Misconduct, Anita Gordon, Helen Harton
University Faculty Perceptions Of Research Practices And Misconduct, Anita Gordon, Helen Harton
Ethics Conference
This poster shares selected results from a national survey, funded by the U.S. Office of Research Integrity, to investigate the perceptions of research misconduct by faculty researchers from four disciplinary areas (biology, social work, sociology, and psychology). About 4,500 faculty from 107 randomly selected research-intensive and master’s comprehensive universities were invited to participate, leading to a response rate of approximately 40%. Respondents assessed scenarios depicting researcher misbehavior and reported how likely they would be to take those actions under the same circumstances. They also rated their perceptions of how wrong the actions were, how likely the actions were to become …
The Poor Of 1984: The Roots Of George Orwell's Final Novel, James M. Lang
The Poor Of 1984: The Roots Of George Orwell's Final Novel, James M. Lang
Ethics Conference
Most American readers know George Orwell as the author of 1984 and Animal Farm, and as such consider him a staunch critic of communism and prophet of the surveillance state. But Orwell spent much of his writing career focused on exploring the cause and nature of poverty, and remained a committed socialist until his death. This lecture will put 1984 within the full context of Orwell’s career, and especially his lifelong criticism of big business and laissez-faire capitalism.
Teachers’ Interaction With A Young Child With Asd To Support Language And Communication Skills Development: Comparing Ipad And Non-Ipad Use, Saeed Almalki
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this study was investigating teachers’ interaction with a young child with ASD when they were using iPad to support language and communication skills development. A manipulation-free design was applied. Business-as-usual classroom interaction was analyzed. Utterances were divided into two conditions (iPad-use and non-iPad-use) to compare effectiveness on supporting the child’s engagement in teacher-child interaction. In addition, interviews with teachers were conducted to collect more information about their own perspectives regarding iPad use with the student with ASD. Results of the study indicate that child-teacher joint attention and teachers’ verbal assistance happened more frequently when iPad was not …

Professional Development: A Key To Success In The Student Affairs Field, Lauren Wypiszynski
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
The purpose of the professional development plan is to provide the Department of Residence Life staff, at the University of Northern Iowa, with a tool to help professionals meet their goals and learning outcomes. At the start of the 2014-2015 academic year, professionals in the department were asked to complete a survey designed to evaluate the developmental opportunities in the Department of Residence, at the University of Northern Iowa, and outside of the University. The survey also provided professionals with an opportunity to indicate various methods for professional development, which they believed would be effective avenues for discussing various professional …
Identification Of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo By Teachers, Rachel Meisinger
Identification Of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo By Teachers, Rachel Meisinger
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
Children with Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) are characterized by a hypoactive, sluggish behavior pattern that does not fully fit the conceptualization of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as was previously believed. Interest in this topic has surged recently, perhaps due to the fact that many researchers now view SCT as a construct that exists outside of ADHD (Barkley, 2014). SCT is associated with unique etiology, impairment, and comorbidities. Unlike ADHD, SCT represents a more passive form of inattention that may not disrupt the classroom. Thus, SCT may go unnoticed despite the fact that it is related to many academic and social …
Impact Of Student Organizations On The Development Of Core Competencies, Stanley Somtochukwu Ebede
Impact Of Student Organizations On The Development Of Core Competencies, Stanley Somtochukwu Ebede
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
Higher education has a significant impact on the development of critical skills that improve students’ academic outcomes. However, academic institutions have not adequately focused more on the role of student organizations in supporting and improving student outcomes. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate students' perception of the development of core competencies during their experiences at comprehensive Midwestern university, specifically examining the differences of those involved in student organizations to those not involved.
The impact of student organizations on the development of core competencies will be assessed using a survey that was designed around the core competencies outlined …
Adolescents And Sexting: The Various Consequences And Strategies For Schools To Respond, Scotti Hagensick
Adolescents And Sexting: The Various Consequences And Strategies For Schools To Respond, Scotti Hagensick
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
Cell phone usage is at an all-time high among teenagers (Lenhart, 2009). As more adolescents utilize cellular devices to communicate, behaviors such as “sexting” have dramatically increased. Known as the sharing of sexually explicit photos, messages, or sexual content, students often report the motivation to sext focuses on gaining popularity or status with the opposite gender (Vanden Abeele, Campbell, Eggermont, & Roe, 2014). Unfortunately, for many teens, sexting often results in serious consequences including potentially registering as a sex offender and/or facing child pornography charges. In many cases, individual states are not clear on sexting and its legality for minors, …
