Accidental Agent Of Change: George Ticknor's Study Abroad In 1815 Germany, Leslie Bohon Nov 2014

Accidental Agent Of Change: George Ticknor's Study Abroad In 1815 Germany, Leslie Bohon

The William & Mary Educational Review

The historian Herbst (1965) posited that “scholarship . . . like most human endeavors, [is] given [its] distinguishing character by the specific time and place in which [it is] pursued” (p. vii). The distinguishing character of U.S. higher education at the turn of the nineteenth century was transition. Indeed, in the early 1800s, U.S. educators were struggling to determine the future of higher education in the United States, igniting discussions and disagreements concerning everything from the purpose of education, to curriculum and pedagogy, and to student life (Herbst, 1965). Yet, answers did not appear to be forthcoming from within the …


Environment And Affect: Toward An Emotional Geography Of Student Persistence, Jamison R. Miller, Michael Donlan Nov 2014

Environment And Affect: Toward An Emotional Geography Of Student Persistence, Jamison R. Miller, Michael Donlan

The William & Mary Educational Review

Student persistence is a perennial problem for higher education. From lost revenue for colleges and universities to lost opportunity and development for students, educational scholars have had much incentive to examine the problem. In this paper, we review some of the prominent assessments of student persistence in research from various theoretical perspectives. Further, we explore how scholars have studied environmental factors in persistence and to a lesser extent student affect, yet we find the relationship between these two to be only lightly engaged in the literature. The emerging discipline of emotional geography offers to draw out new insights at the …


Conceptualizations Of Substance Use, Abuse, Dependence, And Treatment: A Qualitative Comparison Of Experiences Of Italian And American Counselors-In-Training, Amy Elizabeth Williams Nov 2014

Conceptualizations Of Substance Use, Abuse, Dependence, And Treatment: A Qualitative Comparison Of Experiences Of Italian And American Counselors-In-Training, Amy Elizabeth Williams

The William & Mary Educational Review

The present study is a qualitative exploration of the conceptualizations of substance use, abuse, dependence, and treatment from the perspectives of Italian and American counselors-in-training. The researcher conducted semi- structured interviews with two Italian and two American graduate-level counseling students. Thematic elements identified based upon collected data include differential attitudes toward alcohol and marijuana compared to illicit drug use in both Italy and the United States, consequences experienced as a result of problematic substance use, and the impact of stigma on opportunities following treatment. Differences in treatment practices and standards and differences in vocational opportunities following treatment in Italy and …

A Regional Approach To School Diversity: The Possibility, Feasibility, And Desirability, Damon Richardson, Brian Maltby, Joseph Koontz, Ram Bhagat Nov 2014

A Regional Approach To School Diversity: The Possibility, Feasibility, And Desirability, Damon Richardson, Brian Maltby, Joseph Koontz, Ram Bhagat

The William & Mary Educational Review

The growing opportunity and achievement gaps between and within school divisions in the Richmond, Virginia area are a concern of late. Educational experts and researchers attribute these disparities in part to factors such as less- qualified teachers, poor curricula, and inferior school facilities that are linked to racially and socioeconomically isolated schools. To help reverse the widening student opportunity and achievement gaps that are related to economic and racial isolation, there is a need to explore ways to advance educational equity and excellence in Richmond area schools.

Shifts In Conversation: How Culturally Responsive School Climates Are Changing The Way Educators Think About Meeting The Challenges Of Diversity, Krista Root May 2014

Shifts In Conversation: How Culturally Responsive School Climates Are Changing The Way Educators Think About Meeting The Challenges Of Diversity, Krista Root

The William & Mary Educational Review

Increasingly diverse student populations and accountability demands are two of the most critical and defining challenges for K-12 public schools in the 21st century. Meeting the needs of culturally, linguistically, and ethnically diverse (CLED) students is not a contemporary issue. Educational institutions have recognized, to varying degrees, the inequities in education for this population as far back as the Civil Rights Era (Gorski, 1999). In recent years, however, the rapid growth of minority and immigrant populations in public schools in combination with accountability-era transparency has intensified the pressure on schools to eradicate educational disparities for diverse student populations. This paper …

The Formation Of A Department: Theatre At William And Mary 1926-1963, Joseph Thomas May 2014

The Formation Of A Department: Theatre At William And Mary 1926-1963, Joseph Thomas

The William & Mary Educational Review

From the foundation of the dramatic club in 1926 to the establishment of an independent academic Department of Theatre and Speech in 1963, the William and Mary Theatre experienced many changes as it grew from an extracurricular pursuit into a degree-granting program. Developments in facilities, curriculum, and local theatrical activity all contributed to shaping the organization of the department. This investigation uses information from faculty memoirs, course catalogs, departmental reports to presidents, and news publications to argue that many external factors influenced the particular way in which this department manifested. This work is intended to contribute to a broader literature …

Creativity And The Reggio Emilia Approach, Duna Alkhudhair Apr 2014

Creativity And The Reggio Emilia Approach, Duna Alkhudhair

The William & Mary Educational Review

The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education was developed in the city of Reggio Emilia after the Second World War under the leadership of Loris Malaguzzi. Today, Reggio Emilia schools stand as exemplars for the development of young children’s creativity. This paper provides an overview of the Reggio Emilia approach and examines how it aligns with current research findings related to the development of creativity in young children.


Does Gender Matter In Black Greek-Lettered Organizations?, Donald Mitchell Jr. Mar 2014

Does Gender Matter In Black Greek-Lettered Organizations?, Donald Mitchell Jr.

Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice

This article explores the salience of gender for African Americans in Black Greek-lettered organizations at a predominantly White institution. An emphasis was placed on the social capital that may be gained through historically Black fraternities and sororities as a result of their single-gender structures. A constructivist phenomenological approach guided the study. The study revealed that the women found gender to be important in establishing relationships in sororities, whereas men de-emphasized the role of gender in their fraternity experiences. The article closes with a discussion and implications of the findings and recommendations for future research.


Modeling A Values-Based-Congruence Framework To Predict Organization Constructs In Fraternties And Sororities, Joshua Schutts, Kyna Shelley Ph.D. Mar 2014

Modeling A Values-Based-Congruence Framework To Predict Organization Constructs In Fraternties And Sororities, Joshua Schutts, Kyna Shelley Ph.D.

Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice

Fraternities and sororities are challenged by members who demonstrate unethical behavior with the intent to benefit the organization. This poses serious challenges for practitioners in the field of fraternity/sorority advising. This study examines member’s values congruence with their fraternity/ sorority and its relationship to organizational commitment, identification, and unethical proorganizational behavior. Results from a robust path analysis (MLMV) indicate subjective values congruence can predict identification and commitment directly, while commitment directly predicts unethical pro-organizational behavior. Findings of the study provide several implications for fraternity/sorority practitioners.


White Clauses In Two Historically White Fraternities: Documenting The Past & Exploring Future Implications, Ryan P. Barone Mar 2014

White Clauses In Two Historically White Fraternities: Documenting The Past & Exploring Future Implications, Ryan P. Barone

Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice

This study offers a critical analysis of the appearance and subsequent removal of white clauses in historically white fraternities (HWFs) using the theoretical framework of Critical Race Theory. Archival records are examined to document the first men of color in two HWFs. Data are then presented using phenomenological research methods from interviews with men who were members of these HWFs at the time of racial integration. Themes of colorblindness and internal and external influence on integration are presented followed by implications for fraternity/sorority communities, campus based professionals, and inter/national organization staff.

First To Go To College And First To “Go Greek:” Engagement In Academically Oriented Activities By Senior Year First Generation Students Who Are Fraternity/Sorority Members, Chad Aren, Dan Bureau Ph.D., Helen Grace Ryan Ph.D., Vasti Torres Ph.D. Mar 2014

First To Go To College And First To “Go Greek:” Engagement In Academically Oriented Activities By Senior Year First Generation Students Who Are Fraternity/Sorority Members, Chad Aren, Dan Bureau Ph.D., Helen Grace Ryan Ph.D., Vasti Torres Ph.D.

Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice

Using National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) data, this study examined levels of engagement in academically oriented activities by college seniors who experience college as both first-generation students and fraternity/sorority members. On four of five NSSE scales, first-generation college students who are members reported higher levels of engagement than those who are not members, and members and non-members who are not first-generation. Because engagement in academically oriented activities positively influences student success, knowing students’ self-reported participation has implications for practitioners.
