Developmental Trajectories Of The Children Of The Incarcerated: From An Educational Psychological Perspective, Meagan C. Arrastia

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference

In the state of Georgia, more than 28,000 children have parents that are currently incarcerated (The Sentencing Project, 2013). At the nationwide-level, a total of 10 million children have at some point lived without one or both parents due to incarceration (Pew, 2010). Although the captive audience of the imprisoned parents have been studied in the past, these parents rarely have an understanding of their children’s experiences. In fact, a majority of the state prison population reported never getting to see their children for visitation (Glaze & Maruscak, 2010). Recent research has found high rates of learning disabilities, communication problems, …

Open-Educational Resources (Oers) In The College Classroom: A Case Study, Judy O. Grissett, Charles Huffman

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference

Rising textbook costs are creating additional debt for college students and in some cases, are causing students to forgo purchasing a textbook (Mitchell, 2014). Open educational resources (OER), which are typically free or low-cost, have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional paper textbooks. In this study, we examined perceptions and effectiveness of an OER in an introductory psychology course at a small, public university in Georgia. We compared 1) perceptions of the type of textbook students were using (perceptions of OERs among students using an OER and traditional paper texts among students using traditional paper texts) and 2) course …

Our Library Can Help You! Using Multicultural Elements From Tesol For Non-Native Speakers Of English, Bernadette Maria Lopez-Fitzsimmons

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

This presentation will focus on integrating multicultural elements from TESOL in Information and Media Literacies for non-native speakers of English in public and academic libraries. Public Libraries have been applying multicultural elements in attending to immigrants so that they learn to use libraries. They have been successful in providing ESL classes for free through content-based instruction. Immigrants learn about American libraries and their resources while learning English. Larger public libraries have created positions such as Bi-/Multilingual Librarians, ESL/Multicultural Coordinators, resident Social Workers, Multicultural Education Specialists, etc. Providing multicultural competency skills training to staff is important in creating a supportive, nurturing …

Wikipedia: Information Literacy In The Digital Landscape, Theresa Burress

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

Undergraduate students work to master information literacy skills, which encompass concepts such as resource-based learning, effective research and information use. In addition, these students must also develop the ability to effectively collaborate, produce, and share content across the increasingly complex digital information landscape. Mackey and Jacobson (2014) have proposed reframing information literacy as a comprehensive “metaliteracy” model that encompasses the participatory nature of the digital environment.

Since 2012, librarians have worked with New College of Florida faculty to leverage Wikipedia as a tool to facilitate student development of metaliteracy skills. Students taking humanities and social science courses critically analyze existing …

Think Inside The Blocks: Health Literacy Outreach To Disadvantaged People In Their Own Environment, Nancy Patterson

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

This bilingual (Spanish/English) poster highlights six creative health literacy outreach projects that have proven to be successful in increasing participation in health-related events in their communities and in boosting health literacy in the process.

For example, in Georgetown, South Carolina, a beauty salon owner, concerned about her clients’ frequent frustration with trying to decipher medical information, partners with her local public library and is grant funded to provide a Wellness Workstation in her salon. Years later, her clients research health information between services using the workstation, evening health literacy classes are regularly conducted for community members and continued funding has …

The Instructional Consultation: A Model For Fostering Teaching Partnerships Beyond The One-Shot, Andrea Baer

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

Many librarians currently engage in instructional consulting as a means for supporting information literacy integration (e.g. instruction request, reference desk interactions, faculty workshops) and report significant success with this approach. In light of the traditional service model of librarianship, however, playing a consulting role can feel uncomfortable and often raises concerns about potentially overstepping territorial lines. In this interactive workshop, participants will discuss the concept of an “equal partners” consulting approach and their related experiences; will explore questions, concerns, challenges, and successes related to implementing instructional consulting; and will develop concrete strategies for engaging in instructional consulting in their specific …

Confident Or Not: How Students Explain Their Confidence Regarding Research Abilities, Andrea Brooks

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

The affective dimension of learning considers emotions, feelings, and attitudes as a student makes sense of a subject. In several studies surrounding the information search process, Carol Kuhlthau (1991) emphasized the importance of feelings when students take on a research project, including their confidence. Confidence is one trait that has been used to measure affective learning connected with information literacy abilities. Quantitative analysis has shown student confidence levels do increase after library instruction (Rimland, 2013). However, high confidence does not necessarily indicate ability, and less competent students may even have an inflated sense of their information literacy skills (Gross and …

Teaching Honors Cross-Divisional & Active-Learning Courses: Terrorism & Torture From A Global Perspective, Araceli Hernandez-Laroche, Catherine G Canino, Samantha Hauptman

Global Education Summit (Archived)

How do we engage undergraduate students in intercultural awareness and global citizenship? One way is to better prepare them for a service-oriented, complex, multi-lingual, and globally focused workplace. Our panel will present how a public university with a metropolitan mission encourages interdisciplinary, cross-divisional, and co-taught courses where French and criminal justice professors collaborate for a global education cause.
