The Language Of Classroom Design: How Aesthetic Impacts Learning, Josie Rivera

Fall Student Research Symposium 2021

Secondary classrooms are the settings where crucial learning experiences occur, yet much of the existing research on classroom design pertains to elementary schools. The general lack of importance placed on the physical layout of secondary classrooms insinuates that while younger students benefit from an attractive, visually pleasing classroom, teenage students do not. Despite this, educators seek to make their classrooms places of refuge and learning. For example, Utah’s 2020 Teacher of the Year, Lauren Merkley, decorates her room with thrifted lamps which emit a warm glow in her classroom. Martin Reeder of Sky View High School curated a ‘book nook’ …

Interactional Research Into Problem-Based Learning, Susan M. Bridges, Rintaro Imafuku

Purdue University Press Books

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been deployed as a student-centered instructional approach and curriculum design in a wide range of academic fields across the world. The majority of educational research to date has focused on knowledge-based outcomes addressing why PBL is useful. Researchers of PBL are developing a growing interest in qualitative research with a process-driven orientation to examining learning interactions. It is essential to broaden this research base so as to support PBL designs and approaches to leading students into higher-order thinking and a deeper approach to learning.

Ready Or Not, Here They Come: A College Prepares For Food Allergies, Kelly Evans Wilson

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

According to the national organization FARE (Food Allergy Research Education), researchers estimate that up to 15 million Americans, including one in 13 children, have food allergies. In fact, a 2013 report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the number of children with food allergies in the U.S. increased 50 percent between 1997 and 2011. Food allergy reactions send someone to the emergency department every three minutes, resulting in more than 200,000 emergency department visits in the U.S. per year. (FARE, n.d.).

To Frame Or Not To Frame: Improving Goal Setting, Alexander Dontre

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

Goal setting is a fundamental mechanism used to enhance performance and to promote individual and organizational achievement. Accordingly, developing ways to improve goal effectiveness can be a valuable endeavor. This project proposes that the way in which goals are framed should be positively correlated with success rates. New Year's resolutions were determined to be framed either positively or negatively, and then compared to the self-reported success rates. The study results confirmed that goals with positive framing resulted in higher success rates than did goals with negative framing.

Who Owns The Questions?, Roberta Niche

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

When instructors are the only ones asking questions, students miss out on important opportunities to deepen their learning and reflect on their understanding. Instructors and instructional designers must create an environment where learners create, organize, refine, and answer their own questions. They must help learners develop a robust “questioning toolkit” (McKenzie, 1997) and allow them to take greater ownership of their learning, deepen comprehension, and make new connections and discoveries on their own (Rothstein & Santana, 2011)

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

Deadly school violence continues to dominate our headlines year after year. This modern horror profoundly scars our hearts and launches national political debates, state/federal legislation, and billions of dollars in technology and facility upgrades. Yet deadly attacks seem to grow more frequent despite wide-scale safety efforts. Our solutions are not working so we need to revisit our assumptions. It is time to break our habit of throwing money at ineffective solutions and return to fact-based risk assessment and mitigation.
