NPP eBooks
This book focuses on three important elements in the development of cereal and legume crops in semi-arid West Africa. The first section illustrates the socioeconomic factors that affect the food system for these crops and contains an overview of crop production and consumption in the region. Then, important inputs that affect system productivity are presented: preferences for new seed varieties, yield response to fertilizer, counterfeit herbicides, climate information, and the way farmers develop expectations about the weather events that shape cropping outcomes. The final chapter of section one is dedicated to understanding urban consumer preferences for processed food products derived …

What Should Go In A Wildlife Professional’S Geospatial Toolbox? (Response Data), William Bean, Ryan C. Baumbusch, Brooke Berger, Matthew Delheimer, Lee J. Hecker, Matthew Lau, Megan C. Milligan
Research Data Sets
Geospatial tools have become a critical component to most wildlife studies and management questions. With a diversity of approaches available, current and future wildlife professionals deserve guidance on the most important tools to answer these questions. Younger professionals may be expected to know a separate set of skills from those required further on in their career. We conducted an online survey and a year-long search of job advertisements to identify the most important geospatial approaches, techniques, programs, and ancillary skills for wildlife professionals. We provide the results of these 2 efforts so that wildlife professionals interested in geospatial tools can …

Snap-Ed Improves Food Safety Practices Through Nutrition Education, D. Christofferson, K. Allen, J. Smith, Heidi Leblanc
Snap-Ed Improves Food Safety Practices Through Nutrition Education, D. Christofferson, K. Allen, J. Smith, Heidi Leblanc
Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications
Snap-Ed nutrition education classes and food demonstrations allow for observation and modeling of correct food safety practices. Through the Utah State University’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAPEd), low-income participants completing four or more nutrition education lessons completed a retrospective post/pre behavior questionnaire. Results demonstrated increased intent to follow food safety practices by properly cooking, chilling, and separating food items, as well as properly cleaning food preparation surfaces.

Snap-Ed Participants Increase Fruit And Vegetable Consumption, Heidi Leblanc, S. Haws, N. Christensen, D. Christensen, D. Christofferson
Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications
Benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables are documented, yet more than 75 percent of Americans do not eat the recommended servings advised by the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPlate. Through a self-reported post/pre behavior checklist, the Utah State University Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program–Education (SNAP-Ed) demonstrated an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption in low-income individuals through consistent education incorporating four or more lessons over a period of five years.

College adventure leadership programs may involve training students through multi-day expeditions to remote locations to test their physical and psychological performance. In the context of a group-oriented, mountaineering course in a high altitude environment participant's performance level might be a function of motivation level, vitality level, and/or may be influenced by physiological changes occurring during the ascent. The theoretical framework selected for the study was Cognitive Evaluation Theory (CET) (Deci & Ryan, 1985b), a sub-theory of Selfdetermination Theory (SDT) (Deci & Ryan, 1985a). CET suggests that an intrinsically motivated activity, if internalized, could be a representation of a participant's inclination …
Camper Outcomes Increase Regardless Of Session Length: Beyond Anecdotal Evidence Of Increased Competence, Independence And Friendship Skills, Mark F. Roark
Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
Session length may not be as vital to the accomplishment of developmental outcomes as directors are anecdotally sharing. Interestingly, no empirical support exists for the conventional wisdom that longer sessions have better outcomes than shorter sessions for campers. Dimock and Hendry (1929) found that campers’ level of development in general did not significantly vary whether they were at camp one or two months. They cautioned that this finding might not appropriately represent the actual effect of camp due to limitations in the measurement tool. Comparably, ACA’s Directions (2005) reported that session length was not a reliable predictor of camper developmental …
Leadership By Design Summer Day Camp: University And High School Student Outcomes, Mary F. Fortune, Mark F. Roark, Mary D'Alleva, Lisa Smusz
Leadership By Design Summer Day Camp: University And High School Student Outcomes, Mary F. Fortune, Mark F. Roark, Mary D'Alleva, Lisa Smusz
Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
The Leadership by Design (LbD) summer day camp provided interactive learning experiences for university and high school students. While LbD is similar to other university recruitment programs, none looks directly at the learning outcomes for students through a social constructivist theory design that evaluates the acquisition of the learning outcomes. With such a design, the summer day camp offered leadership development opportunities to university students through a “live,” hands-on experience in a special event management course curriculum. LbD also provided high school participants with an opportunity to explore leadership characteristics and increase their understanding of university culture. The specific purpose …
Campers Have A World Of Good: Insights From The Aca Sites, Facilities, And Programs Report: 2011, Mark F. Roark, Marissa Mikami
Campers Have A World Of Good: Insights From The Aca Sites, Facilities, And Programs Report: 2011, Mark F. Roark, Marissa Mikami
Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
Each year, camp staff members spend days — if not weeks — preparing facilities, activity areas, and programs so their campers can enjoy fun, educational, and life-enhancing experiences. Whether operating on a public grassy field or nestled in the woods, one key to successes is knowing about programs and facilities. Every three years, ACA conducts the Sites, Facilities, and Program Survey (SFPS) as a part of the larger, annually conducted business operations surveys. This article focuses on the SFPS completed during the fall of 2010. Fifty percent of ACA-accredited camps were randomly selected to participate in the survey and 539 …
An Application Of A Modified Experiential Learning Model For A Higher Education Course: Evidence Of Increased Outcomes, Mark F. Roark, Jonathan C. Norling
An Application Of A Modified Experiential Learning Model For A Higher Education Course: Evidence Of Increased Outcomes, Mark F. Roark, Jonathan C. Norling
Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
This case study applied a modified Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) model in an undergraduate outdoor recreation management course. The Kolb (1984) ELT model was modified to accommodate the higher education learning processes suggested by L. B. Sharp (1943), Sugarman (1985) and Greenaway (1995). Results indicate evidence of increased student learning. Quantitative results from a retrospective pre/posttest evaluation of change score means in learning outcomes supported the study hypotheses that 1) the application of a modified ELT model affects the outcomes of planning, knowledge/skills, and potential for transfer of learning and 2) previous trip experience affects these outcomes. A secondary analysis …
Effect Of Self-Determination Theory-Based Strategies For Staging Recreation Encounters On Intrinsic Motivation Of Youth Residential Campers, Mark F. Roark, Gary D. Ellis
Effect Of Self-Determination Theory-Based Strategies For Staging Recreation Encounters On Intrinsic Motivation Of Youth Residential Campers, Mark F. Roark, Gary D. Ellis
Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
Parents and caregivers generally believe that the camp experiences they purchase for their children will not only yield transient pleasure and lasting memories of fun encounters, but significant developmental outcomes as well. Camp professionals serving over 11 million youths each year embrace such outcomes and commonly advance mission statements that point to the development of friendship skills, self-confidence, competence, self-reliance, independence, citizenship, and many other developmental outcomes. Empirical evidence of how these outcomes might be facilitated through specific recreation leadership strategies (e.g., activity staging) is lacking. The Self-Determination Theory (SDT) would suggest that youth leaders (e.g., camp counselors, recreation activity …
