Music Listening, Music Recreation, And Music Therapy: Effective Implementation In Dementia Care, Laura Cribb Todd

Center for Social Gerontology Community Conference (2017-2022)

In recent years, music has increasingly been acknowledged as an effective nonpharmacological intervention in dementia care.

Cultivating Water Literacy In Stem Education: Undergraduates' Socio-Scientific Reasoning About Socio-Hydrologic Issues, David C. Owens, Destini N. Petitt, Diane Lally, Cory T. Forbes

Middle Grades & Secondary Education: Faculty Publications

Water-literate individuals effectively reason about the hydrologic concepts that underlie socio-hydrological issues (SHI), but functional water literacy also requires concomitant reasoning about the societal, non-hydrological aspects of SHI. Therefore, this study explored the potential for the socio-scientific reasoning construct (SSR), which includes consideration of the complexity of issues, the perspectives of stakeholders involved, the need for ongoing inquiry, skepticism about information sources, and the affordances of science toward the resolution of the issue, to aid undergraduates in acquiring such reasoning skills. In this fixed, embedded mixed methods study (N = 91), we found SHI to hold great potential as meaningful …

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference

The recent killings of Black Americans namely Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Rayshard Brooks by police officers or vigilantes have increased racial tension and social unrest locally and nationally. Protests have ensued around the world for racial justice and equity. As educators, it is imperative now more than ever to examine and interrogate our education system and determine more equitable and socially just teaching practices that will better serve a culturally and linguistically diverse student population and ultimately contribute toward the public good of society. Research has suggested that educators need support and professional learning on how to …

Critical pedagogy has the power to transform learning experiences for all students, but also create seismic impacts on the futures of students; however, critical approaches to designing and implementing instruction in which digital technologies are integrated eludes many elementary teachers. Pedagogy is formed and evolves a lifetime of experiences and is never fully mastered. To understand how certain elementary teachers develop critical digital pedagogy, it was imperative to tell their stories. The purpose of this study was to describe the life stories of two elementary teachers who utilized critical digital approaches in their instruction. Each participant participated in an life …

Ramp It Up! Training Peer Mentors In Reinforcement And Modeling With Prompting (Ramp), Jasmine V. Sadler

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference

The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of providing peer mentors with explicit training in the evidence based practices (EBP) of reinforcement, modeling, and prompting (RaMP) as well as an opportunity for purposeful practice through mixed reality simulations. The literature supports the importance and impact that early intervention has on individuals with autism (Dawson et. al, 2010), particularly in the area of social communication. However, the research is limited for adolescents (Griffin & AFIRM, 2016), which it is a time when children are bullied and ostracized for social awkwardness (Humphrey & Symes, 2010; De Boer, Pijl, & …

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference

The quandary of how to deliver quality instruction in the midst of a virulent and unabated pandemic for which there are no medications or vaccination is the greatest educational dilemma of our age. Using modified interpretive policy analysis (IPA), the paper reports the results of a study that examined the challenges, responsiveness, and efficacy of policies initiated during the early outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in three sectors of the education community: (1) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), (2) public schools offering services to disabled students, and (3) research universities in four geographic locations. Specific attention is given to …
