“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 …

Developing Life Skills In Young Students, Alyssa Davis, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
School environment, children engaging with learning, developing their life skills, their self-expression and communication skills are all important and relate to the child’s interaction with adults (teachers or parents) and with their peers (FitzPatrick, 2014). In today’s society, the students within schools are typically quite diverse. Because children tend to develop judgments later in childhood, teaching tolerance and social justice at a young age may contribute to self-acceptance and group acceptance of diversity. Upon researching methods and the effectiveness of teaching life skills to young students, I found that incorporating lessons on life skills in the classroom decreases the chances …

Functional Analysis Of A Putative Homing Endonuclease, Nikhilesh Thapa, David Bollivar, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Endonucleases are enzymes that cleave phosphodiester bonds within polynucleotide chains such as DNA and RNA. A subgroup, homing endonucleases (HEase) are also able to propagate their encoding genes by transforming host genes to incorporate the homing endonuclease gene (HEG). This process is initiated by the expression of the HEase from the HEG, which then cleaves a homolog. The homolog subsequently undergoes a homologous recombination event as a repair mechanism, and in the process integrates a copy of the HEG. Based on predicted sequence, gene product (gp126) from the mycobacteriophage Gizmo is thought to encode for a HEase. Previous work constructed …

How Families’ Lifestyles Are Impacted When There Is A Child Or Parent With A Cognitive Disability, Lauren Pavich, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Today, millions of people have been diagnosed with a disability. Ultimately, this leaves an impact, whether it be a positive one or not, on the families and/or caregivers in people’s lives (Trivettte, 2010 & Vohra, 2013). In this review of the literature, there are several analyzed studies that focus on the level of involvement and what kind of impact involvement may have on the loved one with a disability. Looking more thoroughly into these studies, there becomes a trend of what roles the family member with the disability play and to what extent their disability may impact the home. Through …

Inquiry Based Learning: Effects On Student Learning, Gina Mayer, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
As educational theories continue to grow, change, and resurface, inquiry based learning (IBL) is a student centered approach that is known to have benefits and consequences. As Walker (2006) describes it, IBL provides students empowerment. This strategy focuses on students beginning to ask questions, work as teams, and problem solve on their own, as opposed to memorizing the information. During student teaching, a researcher attempted to seek out the effects of IBL on students’ learning. After implementing various types of lessons and activities, it is discovered that the students are not used to this style of learning in mathematics and …
Beyond The Literary Canon: Incorporating Young Adult Literature Into The Classroom, Rebekah Smith, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
Beyond The Literary Canon: Incorporating Young Adult Literature Into The Classroom, Rebekah Smith, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Engaging students in literature is an extremely important aspect of instilling a lifelong love of reading, but this is difficult in a world where Facebook is more enticing than an old, battered copy of a book for school. Classic books from the Literary Canon are becoming outdated and less beneficial in the classroom. By incorporating more contemporary Young Adult Literature into the classroom, students can gain the skills necessary for success with standardized testing while increasing their interest in reading. This self-study was conducted to evaluate students’ perspectives on the literature and self-selected adolescent titles. Collected data included whole class …
Individualizing Behavior Management: Impact On Student Achievement, Angela Herrmann, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
Individualizing Behavior Management: Impact On Student Achievement, Angela Herrmann, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Teachers frequently identify classroom behavior management as an area in which they struggle. According to Shook (2012), twenty percent of new teachers leave the teaching profession within one year because of the difficulties and challenges they face concerning behavior management. A key component to managing a classroom is getting to know your students and their specific needs. In this self-study, I discuss how individualized behavior management approaches affect student achievement. Specifically, I focus on students with Emotional Behavior Disorder (EBD) and explore common behavior management strategies that can be applied in the classroom and their impact on student achievement. I …
Assessment Of Cranial Neural Crest Proliferation Patterns Between The Redeye Tetra Moenkhausia Sanctaefilomenae And The Zebrafish Danio Rerio, Lesly Ingram, Brian Walter, Faculty Advisor
Assessment Of Cranial Neural Crest Proliferation Patterns Between The Redeye Tetra Moenkhausia Sanctaefilomenae And The Zebrafish Danio Rerio, Lesly Ingram, Brian Walter, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Among teleost fishes, there is a substantial amount of diversity regarding craniofacial morphology. This study investigated the cellular processes directing the morphological variations observed in the Meckel’s and ceratohyal cartilages of the zebrafish Danio rerio and the redeye tetra Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae. Utilizing BrdU incorporation, significant interspecific variations relating to cartilage formation were determined. Specifically, interstitial proliferation was found to be more important for the shaping and subsequent growth of the cartilages in D. rerio than in M. sanctaefilomenae. Correspondingly, the expansion of the pharyngeal arches was more dramatic in M. sanctaefilomenae than in D. rerio. This study demonstrates …
