Development Of Sense Of Place Through An Urban Citizen Science Program, Cornelia Harris
Development Of Sense Of Place Through An Urban Citizen Science Program, Cornelia Harris
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Citizen science programs are a way for participants to develop a sense of place, which has been theorized to lead to pro-environmental behaviors. In this mixed-methods study, I document how a citizen science program encourages urban youth to connect with their place, and notice how both joy and wonder are developed as they experience a stunning migratory event with a unique organism, the American eel. Students were excited to be in a creek and to ‘discover’ a new creature in a place that they had walked past for years, one that was merely a backdrop to their lives prior to …
The Attitudes Of New York State Public High School Teachers Toward Online Instruction, William Hooper
The Attitudes Of New York State Public High School Teachers Toward Online Instruction, William Hooper
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This research examined faculty attitudes toward online instruction (FATOI) at public high schools across New York State. The research sought to better understand the role that perceived positive and negative aspects of online learning play in shaping FATOI and whether a teacher’s gender, years of service, age, academic background, or experience with online learning played a moderating role. The study further sought to analyze the impact of economic need, location, and instructional application on FATOI. The theoretical underpinning of the research was based on a new model-the Online Instruction Adoption Model (OIAM). OIAM is a derivation of the Unified Theory …
Critical Media Literacy In Social Studies : A Case Study, Lauren Collet-Gildard
Critical Media Literacy In Social Studies : A Case Study, Lauren Collet-Gildard
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
There have been many efforts to address the importance of media literacy in schools, but little research has focused on critical media literacy (CML) in social studies curricula or classrooms. This is the first case study to examine the planning and implementation of a school wide CML lesson designed by teachers, and it traces this process from inspiration and collaborative conception of the lesson through its enactment within the classroom. In addition, this research provides unique insight into how teachers arrive at CML as a means of empowering students in the face of widespread disinformation and political polarization. In my …
Responsive Scaffolding Of Knowledge Building Discourse With Ongoing Analytics Support, Hyejin Park
Responsive Scaffolding Of Knowledge Building Discourse With Ongoing Analytics Support, Hyejin Park
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
A need for current science education has emerged in enhancing students’ deep involvement in scientific practices in core disciplines. Students are encouraged to improve crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas through authentic science practice through constructing theories about the real world, generating questions, conducting investigations, revising theories, and communicating and collaborating. A new education model addresses these needs by transforming classrooms into collaborative knowledge building communities. However, there are challenges confronting the education system: (a) helping students build high responsibility to contribute to their collaborative inquiry progress and (b) supporting teachers to act as co-learners. To address these challenges, this …
