Examining Historical (Mis)Representations Of Christopher Columbus Within Children’S Literature, John H. Bickford Jul 2013

Examining Historical (Mis)Representations Of Christopher Columbus Within Children’S Literature, John H. Bickford

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

Effective teaching, while supplemented by best practice methods and assessments, is rooted in accurate, age-appropriate, and engaging content. As a foundation for history content, elementary educators rely strongly on textbooks and children’s literature, both fiction and non-fiction. While many researchers have examined the historical accuracy of textbook content, few have rigorously scrutinized the historical accuracy of children’s literature. Those projects that carried out such examination were more descriptive than comprehensive due to significantly smaller data pools. I investigate how children’s non-fiction and fiction books depict and historicize a meaningful and frequently taught history topic: Christopher Columbus’s accomplishments and misdeeds. Results …

The Effect Of Endorser Physical Attractiveness And Endorser-Product Congruence On The Persuasiveness Of An Advertisement, Heather L. Warner

Undergraduate Honors Theses

The present research proposes that the attractiveness of an advertisement endorser can affect the viewer's overall rating of the advertisement as well as his or her ability to be persuaded by it. The present research also suggests that endorser-product congruence can impact persuasiveness ratings as well as overall ad ratings. In the experiment itself, participants were asked to read two types of advertisements and fill out two questionnaires. Consistent with previous research, results showed that the skin care advertisement was rated significantly more persuasive and had a higher overall rating when paired with an attractive endorser than an unattractive one. …


Evolutionary Vs. Sociocultural Perspectives On Human Mate Selection: The Role Of Women's Academic Achievement On Their Need For Financial Stability, Natalie A. Stanish May 2013

Evolutionary Vs. Sociocultural Perspectives On Human Mate Selection: The Role Of Women's Academic Achievement On Their Need For Financial Stability, Natalie A. Stanish

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Recent research suggests that the sociocultural perspective has become more prominent than the previously accepted evolutionary perspective of human mate selection (Wood, 1999; Tooby & Cosmides, 1992). Today's women have higher educational attainment and overall higher achievement levels than in the past (Blank & Bansal, 2011; Osava, 2010). The purpose of the current study is to determine if college women exhibit more of a sociocultural or evolutionary approach to their mate selection preferences. Approximately 109 female undergraduates completed the Relationship Preferences Questionnaire, on which they rated 10 attributes of a potential mate on a 6-point scale. Participants' ACT scores and …

The students' cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) were used as a measure of academic achievement.

Involve Me: Using The Orff Approach Within The Elementary Classroom, Amanda Long

2013 Awards for Excellence in Student Research & Creative Activity - Documents

Musical independence, improvisation, and composition are important skills that teachers should include within an elementary music curriculum. The musical concepts that accompany these skills can be difficult for teachers to convey and for students to understand due to the difficulty and complexity of teaching musical independence. This study consists of a literature review pertaining to the history and development of the Orff Approach, application of Orff concepts to the creation of lesson plans and classroom activities, action research with elementary students, and conclusions. Three different lesson plans were created implementing Orff techniques specific to the following grade ranges: two-four, four-six, …
