Socioeconomic Status And Student Academic Performance, Ashley Spain, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The injustices imposed on children based on their home, community, and social environment ultimately becomes injustices they encounter throughout their lives as well, post their school years (Coleman, et al, 1966). Social scientists have studied socioeconomic status (SES) in its relation to academic achievement and have been doing so for decades. The purpose of this research synthesis is to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status and student achievement and the implications of student’s SES on academic performance. After conducting a multi-step research approach, grounded theory was employed to construct a conceptual framework identifying common themes describing the relationship. It has …

Understanding The Implications And Addressing Defiance In The Classroom, Devon Busbia, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Defiant behaviors in the classroom can be frustrating, confusing, challenging, and stressful for an educator. Defiance can be addressed through many research-based strategies; however, there is very little preparation given in preservice teacher education programs on these topics (O’Neil & Stephenson, 2013; Smart & Igo, 2010). The consequences of this lack of education have been linked to emotional and physical stress in educators. In turn, linking to teacher burnout rates. I collected data from field and anecdotal notes, school policies, and the use of the PBIS Check-in-Check-out system to acknowledge students’ behavior. By considering relevant research as well as personal …

Creative Teaching Strategies And Student Learning, Emma Moris, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
This research is conducted in the style of a synthesis, in which selected articles are analyzed to examine various methods of creative teaching and their implications on student learning. Often, teachers rely on textbooks and worksheets to deliver lessons; however, this technique neglects to meet the diverse learning needs of each student in the classroom. Creative teaching strategies, such as dance, creative movement, drama, and creative writing, are considered some of the innovative ways for students to be presented with content material. Research reveals that not only do students respond well to these teaching strategies, they are also more inclined …
Using Strategies To Promote Students’ Critical Thinking Abilities, Kellie Pilalis, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
Using Strategies To Promote Students’ Critical Thinking Abilities, Kellie Pilalis, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Teachers are helping prepare students for the future by implementing critical thinking strategies daily in the classroom. Taylor and Peterson (2012), Duesbery (2015), and D’Angelo (1978) showed evidence that students’ reading scores consistently grew, their thoughts, questions, and ability to make connections, and their understanding for how to form critical thinking questions increased. In this qualitative self-study, I discuss different strategies to promote and increase critical thinking abilities in the classroom. Specifically, I focus on achievement and improvements in English Language Arts (ELA). I collected and analyzed data from field notes, pre- and post- self-assessments, and classroom observations. Relating to …

“Little Brothers” By Agniia Barto: Gender And Ideology In Soviet Era Picture Books, 1920s-1930s, Boryana Borisova, Marina Balina, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
In the early 1920s, Soviet children’s literature was to provide the blueprint for becoming model citizens of this newly formed society. It became the precursor to the new two-fold ideological discourse: depicting life of Soviet children as paradise, while condemning children’s hardship and exploitation of their less fortunate counterparts abroad. Such educational and ideological tendencies are prominent in Agniia Barto’s poem, “Little Brothers” (1928), as it visually and textually represented the theme of internationalism, which was to nurture and shape a feeling of unity in struggle, as well as compassion toward the fates of foreign children. I will explore the …
