Partnership Between Iraqi Families With Refugee Backgrounds And School Professionals, Ashraf Alamatouri
Partnership Between Iraqi Families With Refugee Backgrounds And School Professionals, Ashraf Alamatouri
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Research shows that partnerships between families and school professionals can be an important factor in student educational outcomes and that such partnerships exist less for families with refugee backgrounds than for native-born Americans. There are gaps in the literature around linguistic factors and advocacy styles that could influence the relationship between families with refugee backgrounds and school professionals, especially for Arabic speakers. The purpose of this study was to deeply analyze one Iraqi family’s interactions with school professionals in the U.S. to answer the following research question: What linguistic factors and advocacy behaviors facilitate and impede the formation of a …
Gender And United States Army Leadership Doctrine: Reserve Officer Training Corps Cadets’ Experiences With Leadership, Sarah M. Griffin
Gender And United States Army Leadership Doctrine: Reserve Officer Training Corps Cadets’ Experiences With Leadership, Sarah M. Griffin
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
This study provides a comparative analysis of female and male Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets' experiences with the United States Army leadership doctrine, given the hypermasculine Army culture with deeply engrained gender norms and expectations that have long privileged men and masculinity. Using Risman's (2004) theory of gender as social structure, I explore the historical, hyper-masculine cultural norms and expectations of Soldiers in the Army at the structural, interactional, and individual levels. In particular, I study the Army leadership doctrine (structural) as experienced by ROTC cadets, including their self-perceptions of leadership ability and attitudes about leadership (individual) and their perceptions …
Discourse Analysis Of Knowledge Construction In An Online Teacher Education Course, Elsa Richter
Discourse Analysis Of Knowledge Construction In An Online Teacher Education Course, Elsa Richter
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Peer discourse is a valuable tool for knowledge construction in the higher education classroom environment, and can sometimes be neglected in asynchronous online classes, which have become increasingly prevalent in the past several years. Students interact in different ways online than they do in person, which can affect the class dynamic and the way in which knowledge is constructed within it. Using Weinberger & Fischer’s (2005) Framework to Analyze Argumentative Knowledge Construction in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, this single-case qualitative case study utilizes self-study, content analysis, and discourse analytic methods to investigate undergraduate students’ approaches to knowledge co-construction via discussion boards …
Organizational Supports Of Rape Culture In Higher Education, Mary Beth Seller
Organizational Supports Of Rape Culture In Higher Education, Mary Beth Seller
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Rape culture has roots in our gendered history of the United States which manifests itself on college campuses as well. Attending college has been found to be the riskiest time for women in terms of sexual assault, as up to 1 in 4 women may experience some type of sexual assault or attempt during their collegiate years. This study explored how one college campus, the University of Vermont (UVM), has organizational policies, procedures and values that are perceived to support rape culture on campus.
Guided by critical feminist theory as its epistemological foundation, this qualitative study uses an applied thematic …

Promoting Family Professional Partnerships Among Refugee Families Through Community-Based Participatory Action Research, Gabriel T. Mcgann
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) study was to work with local stakeholders involved in the RAFT (Relationships Among Families and Teachers) Project pilot study (Haines & Reyes, 2022a) to identify the constructs necessary to understand the impacts of RAFT implementation and build a tool to assess those constructs. The Participatory Action Research Team (PART) involved in this study included school administrators, Multilingual (ML) teachers, classroom teachers, home-school liaisons, and families. The PART participated in three focus groups and eight cognitive interviews to develop an understanding of the goals of RAFT implementation and design a survey to …
