Animal-Assisted Programs In Deaf Education, Alexis Wright

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Dr. Boris Levinson first recognized animal-assisted therapy as a child psychologist in the 1970s (Fine, Beck, & Ng, 2019). After this recognition, there has been an increased usage of animal-assisted interventions (AAI), leading to more research in this field (Fine, Beck, & Ng, 2019). Many studies have shown the effects of animal-assisted programs in classrooms (Prothmann, Ettrich, and Prothmann, 2009, as cited in Grandin, Fine, O'Haire, Carlisle, & Bowers, 2015; Bassette & Taber-Doughty, 2016; Kirnan, Siminerio, & Wong, 2016; Kropp & Shupp, 2017), but none of these have focused on Deaf schools and programs.

Mapping For Meaning In A Multimodal Web: Advancing Learning Using Web-Based Instruction That Stimulates Wayfinding Behavior, Rhonda Lee Thomas

Theses and Dissertations

When learners cannot find their way through web-based instructional information, they become lost, as a result, learning stops. The operations of human wayfinding behavior (or simply, wayfinding) are the cognitive processes activated when humans must make decisions on how they will move through, primarily, novel situations. This paper examines the utility of incorporating the operations of wayfinding into instructional design models to reduce the likelihood of learners becoming lost in web-based instructional information.
