Promoting Strategic Readers: Insights Of Preservice Teachers’ Understanding Of Metacognitive Reading Strategies, Yuko Iwai

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

This study focuses on preservice teachers’ metacognitive reading strategies, in particular their awareness of such strategies as a reader and future teacher in three different stages (initial, middle, and final stages) of the teacher education program. The study had two research questions: (1) Are there any significant differences between metacognitive awareness and preservice teachers’ academic stages? and (2) What are preservice teachers’ perceptions of metacognitive awareness at the three different academic stages? One hundred sixteen preservice teachers participated in the study. Data included the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategy Inventory (MARSI) and open-ended questions. While the results indicated no significant …

Varied Responses As A Means To The Richness Of Discourse: Reading Tough Texts Through Speaking And Writing, Carol L. Thompson, Michael W. Kleine

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Abstract: New scholarship advocates that students should learn deeply and well. Little information exists on exactly how to get students deeply into material so that they understand it inside and out, backward and forward and in a way that enables them to construct knowledge schemas. The authors have developed a heuristic list of communication response styles that enrich understanding of complex ideas and works and promotes students to use metacognition to reflect deeply about what they are learning.

Benefits Of Using A Problem-Solving Scaffold For Teaching And Learning Synthesis In Undergraduate Organic Chemistry I, Joseph C. Sloop, Mai Yin Tsoi, Patrick Coppock

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

A problem-solving scaffold approach to synthesis was developed and implemented in two intervention sections of Chemistry 2211K (Organic Chemistry I) at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC). A third section of Chemistry 2211K at GGC served as the control group for the experiment. Synthesis problems for chapter quizzes and the final examination were designed and administered to all sections participating in the experiment. Student solutions were graded according to a rubric designed to determine student use of the scaffold when solving synthesis problems. Analyses of the quiz results and the synthesis component of the final examination were conducted and intervention section students …

Measuring Students’ Motivation: Validity Evidence For The Music Model Of Academic Motivation Inventory, Brett D. Jones, Gary Skaggs

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

This study provides validity evidence for the MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation Inventory (MUSIC Inventory; Jones, 2012), which measures college students’ beliefs related to the five components of the MUSIC Model of Motivation (MUSIC model; Jones, 2009). The MUSIC model is a conceptual framework for five categories of teaching strategies (i.e., eMpowerment, Usefulness, Success, Interest, and Caring) that were derived from research and theory as ones that are critical to students’ motivation (Jones, 2009). Participants included 338 undergraduate students who provided questionnaire responses in reference to 221 different courses at a large public U.S. university. Our analyses included classical item …

Engaging Diverse Students In Statistical Inquiry: A Comparison Of Learning Experiences And Outcomes Of Under-Represented And Non-Underrepresented Students Enrolled In A Multidisciplinary Project-Based Statistics Course, Lisa Dierker (Ae), Jalen Alexander, Jennifer L. Cooper, Arielle Selya, Jennifer Rose, Nilanjana Dasgupta

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Introductory statistics needs innovative, evidence-based teaching practices that support and engage diverse students. To evaluate the success of a multidisciplinary, project-based course, we compared experiences of under-represented (URM) and non-underrepresented students in 4 years of the course. While URM students considered the material more difficult than non-URM students, URM students demonstrated similar levels of increased confidence in applied skills and interest in follow up courses as non-URM students. URM students were found to be twice as likely as non-URM students to report that their interest in conducting research increased. Increasing student confidence and interest gives all students a welcoming place …

The Effects Of Diversity Training On Faculty And Students’ Classroom Experiences, Keonya C. Booker, Lisa Merriweather, Gloria Campbell-Whatley

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

In response to the changing face of postsecondary education, efforts have been made to provide faculty and staff with training in multicultural and diverse perspectives. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of faculty participation in a Summer Diversity Training Institute. Focus group interviews were conducted with both faculty participants and the students of faculty attendees to determine the impact of the Institute on classroom dynamics, instruction, and assessment. Findings revealed that faculty participation in the Institute was beneficial in the sense that instructors’ personal growth was most frequently evidenced through attitudinal and curricular changes. Students experienced …

Uncertainty Management And Sensemaking As Precursors To Transformative Learning In An International Immersion Service-Learning Experience, Jan M. Larson, Martha Fay

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

This study is based on an international immersion service-learning/research experience in a remote village in Moldova that provided faculty and students an opportunity to teach journalism and help local students and community representatives create their own online news outlet. Students’ existing conceptions were challenged, they experienced uncertainty and struggled to make sense of both their environment and experience. These were the processes through which we observed transformative learning occur. Using a phenomenological approach, this research grounds the IISL experience in varied disciplines that reveal possible approaches to helping students manage uncertainty, make sense of their circumstances and achieve transformative learning …
