Professional Development As An Opportunity To Enhance Your Praxis, Brittany Falco
Professional Development As An Opportunity To Enhance Your Praxis, Brittany Falco
Undergraduate Research Conference
This study examines the impact of participating in two different professional developments on enhancing praxis. The first professional development focused on skill-building while the second focused on reflective practice. Results indicate that both professional developments were effective in enhancing praxis, but the reflective practice approach had a greater impact on sustained improvement. These findings suggest that a combination of skill-building and reflective practice can be an effective approach to professional development for enhancing praxis.
Study Away With Sfa: The Opportunity For Accessible Cross Cultural Learning, Cat Davis, Terra Newsom, Skylar Perry
Study Away With Sfa: The Opportunity For Accessible Cross Cultural Learning, Cat Davis, Terra Newsom, Skylar Perry
Undergraduate Research Conference
Study Away was proposed by our professor as an accessible alternative to traditional study abroad programs. Accessible because it is more affordable and it opens up this cross cultural opportunity to students who may be undocumented. We traveled the country for five weeks in a Mercedes sprinter van exploring places such as Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Albuquerque, the Great Lakes, New York City, the Appalachian Mountains, and New Orleans to name a few. Throughout, we engaged in critical conversations and opportunities for self-growth. This presentation will share our perspectives regarding study away as it compares to study abroad.

Baking Without Gluten: Maximizing Nutrition Without Compromising Appeal, Callie Dunkerson
Baking Without Gluten: Maximizing Nutrition Without Compromising Appeal, Callie Dunkerson
Undergraduate Research Conference
The purpose of the current study was to determine the appropriate adjustments needed to transform an ordinary muffin recipe into gluten-free (GF) muffins made with flaxseed meal (FM). Two batches of muffins were made, but all-purpose flour was replaced with FM, rice flour (RF), and xanthan gum in the experimental recipe. Participants conducted a sensory evaluation on both muffins. The GF muffin tasted similar to the control (C) but did not align with the C texture. This study illustrates the impact of GF flour components on baked goods and evidences the ability to create healthful and delicious alternatives for individuals …
Drones As A Teaching Instrument In The Social Studies Classroom, Michele Morgan
Drones As A Teaching Instrument In The Social Studies Classroom, Michele Morgan
Undergraduate Research Conference
Drones have been considered a hot new technology for classrooms, albeit somewhat inaccessible. They can often be found in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) settings, in classrooms offering Gifted and Talented (GT) programming, or in advanced high school classrooms. It is rarely seen in elementary social studies classrooms, however. And that intrigued me. Could drones become accessible tools for elementary classrooms? We were determined to find out.

The purpose of this study was to conduct interviews with middle level students and gain insight into the minds and attitudes of adolescent children. Three interviews took place over the course of the semester and were recorded for reference. Throughout this project, the interviews were child-centered and focused on theories and research presented in Sara Powell’s (2020) Introduction to Middle Level Education. A reflection was written at the conclusion of each interview.
