Clicker Use In Introductory Biology: Impacts On Exam Performance, Joanna K. Hubbard

Discipline-Based Education Research Group Speaker Series

In-class response systems, or clickers, are useful formative assessment tools that support learning by providing real-time feedback that can be used to correct misconceptions through peer discussion and instructor guidance. Previous research has shown that peer discussion improves conceptual understanding within a class period. In this study, we asked whether the benefits of peer discussion could be detected on a longer time scale. We asked exam questions that were isomorphic to in-class clicker questions and found students that participated in peer discussion scored higher than students that were not in class for the discussion. We also examined the effect of …

Panel: Brown University Redux - Effects Of Unionization On Graduate Student Employees: Faculty-Student Relations, Academic Freedom, And Pay, Sean Rogers, Adrienne Eaton, Paula Voos

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

In cases involving unionization of graduate student research and teaching assistants at private U.S. universities,

the National Labor Relations Board has, at times, denied collective bargaining rights on the presumption that

unionization would harm faculty--student relations and academic freedom. Using survey data collected from

PhD students in five academic disciplines across eight public U.S. universities, the authors compare

represented and non-represented graduate student employees in terms of faculty--student relations, academic

freedom, and pay. Unionization does not have the presumed negative effect on student outcomes, and in some

cases has a positive effect. Union-represented graduate student employees report higher levels of …

Assessing Feasibility And Readiness To Address Obesity Through Policy In American Indian Reservations, Valarie Blue Bird Jernigan, Gail Boe, Carolyn Noonan, Leslie Carroll, Dedra Buchwald

Journal of Health Disparities Research and Practice

The Institute of Medicine and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have identified policy and environmental strategies as critical to the prevention and control of obesity. However such strategies are rare in American Indian communities despite significant obesity-related disparities. Tribal policymaking processes differ by tribal nation and are often poorly understood by researchers and public health practitioners, hindering the dissemination, implementation, and successful scale-up of evidence-base obesity strategies in tribal communities. To address these gaps in knowledge we surveyed 138 diverse stakeholders in two American Indian reservations to assess the feasibility of and readiness to implement CDC-recommended obesity policy …

"I'M Man Enough: Are You?": The Queer (Im)Possibilities Of Walk A Mile In Her Shoes

Journal of Critical Scholarship on Higher Education and Student Affairs

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is a national program that has become a staple program to engage college males in sexual violence prevention on many college campuses. In this manuscript, I use queer theory and crip theory—a conceptual framework that merges queer and critical disability theory—to explore both the positive outcomes and potential harm done in the production and implementation of this event. I conclude the manuscript with considerations for educators seeking to engage college students in critical praxis around ending sexual violence on campus. These possibilities are rooted in Cohen's (1998) notion of reorienting future praxis around the …
