Microrna Expression Profiling Screen Mir-3557/324-Targeted Camk/Mtor In The Rat Striatum Of Parkinson's Disease In Regular Aerobic Exercise, Wenfeng Liu, Li Li, Shaopeng Liu, Zhiyuan Wang, Heyu Kuang, Yan Xia, Changfa Tang, Dazhong Yin

Health Sciences & Kinesiology: Faculty Publications

This study aimed to screen the target miRNAs and to investigate the differential miR-3557/324-targeted signal mechanisms in the rats’ model of Parkinson’s disease (PD) with regular aerobic exercise. Rats were divided into sedentary control PD group (SED-PD, n = 18) and aerobic exercise PD group (EX-PD, n = 22). After 8 weeks of regular aerobic exercise, a 6-hydroxydopamine- (6-OHDA-) induced PD lesion model was constructed. Preregular aerobic exercises enhanced the injury resistance of rats with 6-OHDA-induced PD. The rotational behavior after injection of apomorphine hydrochloride was alleviated. Under the scanning electron microscopy, we found the neurons, axons, and villi of …

Are Autonomously Motivated University Instructors More Autonomy-Supportive Teachers?, Maï Yasué 8988034, Lucas M. Jeno, Jody L. Langdon

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

We extended the research on autonomy-supportive teaching to universities and examined the relationships between autonomous motivation to teach and autonomy-supportive teaching. Autonomously motivated university instructors were more autonomy-supportive instructors. The freedom to make pedagogical decisions was negatively correlated with external motivation towards teaching. Participants indicated that large class sizes, high teaching loads, publication pressures, and a culture that undervalues effective undergraduate teaching undermined both student learning and their feelings of autonomy. Together these results presents a picture of a subset of university instructors who remained autonomously motivated to teach, irrespective of barriers they experienced from university administrators or policies.

An Applied E-Mentoring Model For Academic Development, Reflection And Growth, Christopher C. Tisdell Prof, Giriraj Singh Shekhawat

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Effective mentoring brings positive outcomes for mentees, mentors and their organizations. Modern mentoring is developing through employment of technology and thus it is important to better understand these new opportunities and their limitations. Termed as “e-mentoring”, the field remains under-researched and sub-optimally theorized.

In this work we introduce and critically examine an innovative model for mentor-mentee engagement. Termed “DARP”, our model is designed to foster a cycle of reflection for academic development and growth. DARP stands for: Discuss; Archive; Reflect; Prepare. We ground our model in Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and link our theory to practice through discussion of an …

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

This study reflects on the development and implementation of mid-term oral examinations in large-scale lecture courses at a large, public research university; specifically, this work examines the implications of oral exams for fostering student engagement and concept-based comprehension in addition to institutional and course commitments to diversity. This research traces the development of an effective method for administering oral midterms and assesses the advantages and challenges of utilizing oral examinations for student assessment by detailing student feedback and TAs’ reactions to administering this examination format. Findings reveal that oral examinations provided a chance for students to develop skills through a …

First Semester Academic Functioning Of College Students: The Role Of Stressful And Traumatic Life Events, Ashlee Warnecke, Richard Lewine

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

The present study sought to better understand the role of stress and trauma history and resiliency among students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and their college academic outcomes. Self-reported history of stressful and traumatic life events, resilience, and demographic factors were collected at orientation for 54 “poor” students as determined by Federal standards. Academic record information was collected at the end of the first semester. The study sample was similar to other students in terms of event exposure, self-reported mental health symptoms, and resilience. Event exposure significantly correlated with course withdrawals, low grades (Fs and Ds), and mean grade point average.. …

Enhancing Academic Self-Efficacy And Performance Among Fourth Year Psychology Students: Findings From A Short Educational Intervention, Alexis R. Foulstone, Adrian Kelly

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Academic self-efficacy is the degree to which students believe they are capable of learning or accomplishing an academic task within a specific area of education. High academic self-efficacy has been associated with positive education outcomes such as enhanced learning, motivation, self-determination, and ultimately academic performance. The current study designed, implemented and evaluated an educational intervention to enhance the academic self-efficacy and performance of 21 psychology students enrolled in a group supervised Honours course, the outcome being a thesis dissertation. Students completed pre-intervention surveys in class half way through the course and then another survey after the 8-week intervention. Measures of …

Changing Future Faculty's Conceptions Of Sotl, Darryl Reano, Stephanie Masta, Jon Harbor

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) programs provide graduate students across all disciplines with professional development that addresses a range of faculty responsibilities. The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) combines education research with the practice of teaching by implementing, disseminating, and applying research on educational practice and interventions. During a PFF program at a public university, we used a pre-post writing prompt to examine changes in future faculty’s conceptions of SoTL. Pre-workshop responses included misconceptions that indicated unfamiliarity with SoTL. Post-workshop responses had an increased emphasis on sharing outcomes from educational interventions. Only 8% of pre-workshop responses included all main elements …
