Faculty Center: News & Publications

Excerpt: "I started college teaching without really knowing how people learn or how to teach so that my students would learn in effective, enduring ways. I simply starting talking about my discipline, with some class discussions thrown in. I had no apprenticeship, no internship or mentoring to help me learn to teach. It was individual trial and error. I now know it doesn’t have to be that way. What if there were ways to glean from among the hundreds of faculty at Georgia Southern and their thousands of years of teaching experience some of their knowledge, understanding, even wisdom, about …

Using Autoethnography In The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning: Reflective Practice From ‘The Other Side Of The Mirror', Fernanda P. Duarte

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Borrowing concepts from autoethnography – a writing genre in which the researcher ‘becomes’ the phenomenon under investigation – this essay is based on my reflections and recollections of important events and insights that occurred during my participation in a professional development project. This experience has significantly altered my outlook on teaching and learning, as it forced me to reflect more critically on why I teach the way I do, and look at my pedagogical practices anew. The first part provides a brief introduction of autoethnography as a reflexive writing genre; the second part presents the broad narrative – that of …

Understanding The Multicultural Experience Of Lep Adolescents, Sharlene Snead Monahan

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This inquiry is a qualitative study of the multicultural experience of Limited English Proficient (LEP) students who are learning a second language in an inner-city high school in southeastern Georgia. The LEP students are enrolled or have been enrolled in the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program. Using three strands of inquiry, critical phenomenological, narrative, and anthropological, I addressed three major issues. One, I examined the struggle of LEP students to learn English at a proficiency level to pass the state-mandated test for graduation and receive a high-school diploma. Not only must the LEP students learn a new …

Us Health Care Crisis: Implications For Education, Medical Praxis, And Democracy, Michael W. Kleinpeter

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This theoretical inquiry sought to critically analyze the various ideological and political aspects of the culture of health care reform in the United States (US) and to investigate the underlying ideologies, values, and purposes of medical practice in a changing democratic society. Using Michel Foucault's cultural studies approach as the theoretical framework for the study, agent and client relationships within the US health care system were examined in efforts to describe the articulation between the health care crisis and the government's social responsibility to prevent the imminent bankruptcy of its health care system. State and national data were collected from …

Causal Effect Of Corporal Punishment On Children's Internalizing And Externalizing Behavioral Outcomes: Results From A Propensity Score Matching Analysis, Sara Zane Morris

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Substantial research supports the association between corporal punishment and children's behavioral problems, suggesting that punishment leads to both internalizing and externalizing behaviors. However, this research has not been able to discern the direction of causality in this relationship for many reasons, including a lack of experimental data. The purpose of this study is to assess the causal effect of corporal punishment on internalizing and externalizing behaviors by using a Propensity Score Matching (PSM) analysis. This study uses data from waves 1 and 2 of the longitudinal cohort study of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), including 6, …

Theory: The Elephant In The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning Room, Pat Hutchings

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Excerpt: November, 2006 marked the third annual meeting of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and it was another blockbuster, with 850 participants, a rich array of sessions, the “Commons@ISSoTL” for informal exchange and sharing of resources, and a true international feel. As in past years, the conference also provided a window into the character and progress of the work, and a chance to ask where we are, what has been accomplished, and where we’re going. These questions leave room for considerable disagreement, of course. As in the parable of the blind men and …

Dialogic Communication In Collaborative Problem Solving Groups, Robert B. Innes

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Discourse, especially dialogic communication between students in collaborative problem-solving groups, plays a central role in educational reforms informed by learning science. This study examined the quality of discourse in problem-based learning groups in a university course. The study found a low incidence of high quality dialogue (dialogic communication, elaboration and co-construction of ideas, productive disciplinary discourse) in 12 one-hour planning meetings. The most competent students took leadership in groups and made the majority of the conceptual contributions. Although there was a reasonable amount of time spent connecting theories to cases, there was little time spent in high-level analysis and very …
