Research has shown that across the country there are discrepancies between the percentage of BIPOC students in the State, university, and colleges of agriculture. This study used a qualitative interview method to determine the factors influencing minority students to enter and stay within a program of study …

Writing Myths: Interpreting And Translating Meaning, Naomi Robinson

Postgraduate

Myths and stories are integral communication devices that cross both lived and shared experience while manifesting through internal and external meaning-making processes. To determine the nature of myths in and as popular culture, this project sought to use practise-led methods. In addition to storytelling and thematic analysis, this project involved the interpretation and adaptation of an ancient myth into a modern television series. By considering television shows as conduits of socio-political agendas, the creative process culminating in this exegesis highlighted how the perpetual influence of myths through knowledge, reference, and experience can be manipulated to drive cultural change.

Mathematicians’ Beliefs, Instruction, And Students’ Beliefs: How Related Are They?, Rachel Rupnow

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

It is generally accepted that teachers’ beliefs impact their instructional choices, but characterizations of that relationship are limited in college settings. Furthermore, examinations of instructor beliefs, instruction, and student beliefs together in one setting are rarely described. Based on interviews with two Abstract Algebra instructors, classroom video from three units of instruction, and survey and interview data from students in the classes, this paper examines instructors’ stated beliefs, ways these beliefs manifested in their teaching, and students’ beliefs across the course. Both instructors made curricular choices clearly aligned with their stated views of the nature of mathematics, learning, and teaching. …

Enhancing Student Learning Of Global Warming Through Reflective Writing, Liang Zeng, Guang Zeng

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

The National Academy of Science has published studies showing strong scientific evidence that global warming is caused by human consumption of fossil fuels, yet recent surveys have shown young adults in the U.S. are disengaged or disagree with this fact. Accordingly, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) published learning objectives to educate the world population on global warming and renewable energy by 2030. In this paper, we introduce a reflective writing activity physics educators can employ to foster a deeper understanding of global warming in introductory college physics and physical science courses, without overloading their teaching time.

Creativity In Science, Engineering, And The Arts: A Study Of Undergraduate Students' Perceptions, Dildora F. Beaulieu

Dissertations and Theses

Creativity is widely recognized as being invaluable for human development and a crucial 21^st century talent. Preparing students for an uncertain and complex world requires that higher education promote students' imagination, originality, curiosity, and flexibility and build their capacity to take risks to try new approaches to problem-posing and problem-solving. However, little is known about how undergraduates enrolled in different disciplines view creativity. This quantitative study at a university in the northwestern United States assessed how undergraduate students in different academic disciplines responded to an instrument on creativity measurement developed by Dlouhy (2012). The study asked: How do undergraduates …

Metabolic Responses To Prolonged Fasting In A Naturally Obese Marine Mammal, Jane Khudyakov

Faculty Showcase

Many animals undergo fasting in order to survive during periods of severe weather, food scarcity, migration, or reproduction. While most animals decrease their metabolism while fasting, northern elephant seals fast for several months while undergoing energy-intensive activities such as molting and reproduction. Seals fuel their energy needs with large fat stores that they accumulate while foraging at sea, resembling human patients with diabetes and obesity (insulin sensitivity, high levels of glucose and fat) while fasting. While some of the hormone signals involved in fasting have been identified, the molecular mechanisms that regulate healthy metabolic adaptations to fasting in seals are …

Sabbaticals Are About Space...Sometimes Vector Space, Anthony Dutoi

Faculty Showcase

A sabbatical is supposed to be about having the space to do the research you would usually not be able to get to. My plan was to wander around in 2D spaces, selling my ideas to other groups, connecting my projects with theirs, and connecting myself with their grad students (for both short- and long-term gain). Well, my physical space became limited to that of a spare bedroom, but it was quiet. And, fortunately, I am a theorist.

I spent my pre-tenure years investing heavily in specific way of re-writing the equations that dictate how electrons behave, which should be …

Few studies have methodically surveyed the relationships between extent of gambling behavior and the consequences of gambling that may occur. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the influence of selected personal, and perceptual demographic characteristics on the extent of gambling behavior exhibited by female residents of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

This study used a survey design with instrument distributed by hand at selected community organizations. …
