Psychology: Faculty Presentations (2009-2022)

Georgia Southern University student, A. Shea Hall and faculty member Dorothie Cross co-presented Does Anxiety Moderate the Relationship Between ADHD Inattention Symptoms and Cognitive Flow States? in the Southeastern Psychological Association Annual Conference, March 2022.

Background

• Although some studies have found a positive correlation between ADHD symptoms and self-reported cognitive flow states, other studies do not find such a relationship.
• ADHD is commonly comorbid with anxiety, which has been found to be negatively correlated with flow states.
• It is possible that some of the inconsistencies across studies might be explained by level of anxiety.

Performance Improvement For Rural Hospitals: Front Line-Driven Change To Decrease Transfer Time From Ed To Inpatient Admission, Chasatie Whitley, Eddie Perez-Ruberte, Linda Kimsey, Bettye Apenteng

Center for Public Health Practice & Research

Highlights: A recent performance improvement project undertaken by a Georgia Critical Access Hospital (CAH) demonstrates the potential for use of Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) techniques to improve operations in the area of patient transfers from Emergency Department (ED) to Inpatient Ward. Implemented process improvement, including visual tracking of inpatient hold in the ED and bedside handoff led to reductions in admission decision to ED departure time and delayed or omitted ED admission orders.

Background: The Georgia Southern Flex Team, funded by the Georgia State Office of Rural Health, assists the state’s CAHs in pursuing financial and operational excellence. Under an ongoing grant, …

Increasing Student Use Of Chemical Instrumentation In Undergraduate Research, Timothy D. Champion, Myron Todd Coolbaugh, Brian J. Hunt, Tracy Brown-Fox

SoTL Commons Conference

Recognizing the importance of student experience and familiarity with modern analytical instruments, the JCSU Chemistry faculty have developed a Shared Instrumentation Resource Laboratory (SIRL) for students and faculty from multiple STEM departments. These instruments were obtained through a series of grants from several sources. Use of the instruments in courses were also implemented. An analysis of Senior Investigative Papers (SIPs) by Biology and Chemistry majors from before and after the implementation of the SIRL show significant (p=0.0014) gains in SIPs based on data collected from JCSU instruments, showing the increased capability for on-campus undergraduate research using instrumentation was utilized.

Escaping Using Clinical Judgment, Kelley Noll, Claire Thompson

SoTL Commons Conference

An escape room experience was developed as an active experience to enhance critical thinking and clinical judgment in baccalaureate nursing students. This innovative teaching strategy was incorporated into a Childbearing Family and Reproductive Health clinical course. The escape room consisted of four scenarios focused on care of the mother with Type II Diabetes Mellitus during pregnancy, delivery of a macrosomic newborn, hypoglycemia in the newborn, and discharge education from the postpartum unit. Student evaluation of the experience revealed meaningful application of knowledge and a new way to engage students.

Promoted Online Tutorial Use In General Chemistry: Effects On Student Performance, Timothy D. Champion, John Bannister

SoTL Commons Conference

Promoting student success in entry-level STEM courses is a continuing area of interest. While JCSU has made great strides in this area, in 2016, data began to show an increase in the DFW rates for key courses. The urban small university where these studies were conducted provides students with an online tutorial service. While the success of tutoring is well-documented, it is our perception that students do not utilize this resource as often or as effectively as they might. This project increased student utilization of online tutoring and improved participating students’ test and quiz grades.

Disrupted Learning During Covid-19: A Survey Of Student Experience, Celia Szelwach, John Cordes, Alia Sheety, Vinayak Mathur, Maia Magrakvelidze, John Doyle, Gifty Key, Joseph Cimakasky

SoTL Commons Conference

Navigating unexpected disruption caused by COVID-19 in Higher Education required immediate and flexible response by faculty and students as they pivoted to other learning modalities. In Spring Semester 2021, we administered a 40-question survey including several open-ended questions to 795 undergraduate and graduate students (master and doctoral level) in multiple disciplines across four Schools at a private university in Pennsylvania to capture student perceptions of learning experience in face-to-face, hybrid, and fully online environments. Ninety-nine students completed the survey. Lessons learned for teaching and learning include sensitivity to students’ stress and understanding learning environment design preferences and effectiveness.

Incorporating Reflection Activities In Simulation To Prepare Nursing Students For Clinical Practice, Amy Curtis, Sarah Watts, Katilya Ware, Tiffani Chidume, Meghan Jones

SoTL Commons Conference

Research indicates simulation is an effective approach to prepare nursing students for clinical practice. However, little is known about the impact of prebriefing on students’ experiences in simulation. This mixed methods study evaluated the impact of incorporating reflection activities during the prebriefing element of simulation on nursing students’ satisfaction in learning, confidence, and performance during the simulation. Findings noted that incorporating reflection during prebriefing improved students’ satisfaction in learning, confidence, and performance. This is significant to the profession, as it supports the incorporation of reflective activities during prebriefing in simulation to enhance student learning experiences.

Emphasizing Multilingualism In Teacher Education Courses: Teacher Candidates’ Responses To Translanguaging Pedagogy, Tuba Angay-Crowder, Jayoung Choi, Ji Hye Shin, Nihal Khote

SoTL Commons Conference

One of the presenters has embedded translanguaging pedagogy in her Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) courses for several semesters to increase teacher candidates’ pluralistic stance when working with multilingual students from immigrant backgrounds. Translanguaging honors all linguistic repertoires that multilingual learners bring to meaning construction. As TESOL course work often centers on students’ advancement of English skills without necessarily emphasizing multilingual development, she intentionally included activities and assignments related to translanguaging. In this presentation, we discuss how her teacher candidates responded to this pedagogy. The shared findings have implications for teaching and learning in teacher education courses.

Developing An Innovative Concept-Based Approach To Teaching And Learning In Family Nursing, Melody Blanco, Roqaia Dorri, Elham Al-Omari

SoTL Commons Conference

Concept-based teaching is an innovative pedagogy that allows for meaningful building and transfer of knowledge, especially in nursing education (Morse & Jutras, 2008). The University of Calgary in Qatar (UCQ) has recently adopted in the concept-based approach in curriculum design with an aim to produce the next generation of nurses who can seamlessly transfer knowledge learned from their didactic experience to the bedside. In our poster board presentation, we will highlight the effectiveness of the innovative, concept-based teaching practices employed in Family in Nursing in an online setting. Our group utilized different techniques and modalities such as exemplars and gamification …

Infusing Covid-19 Into An Undergraduate Parasitology Research Course, Alexa Von Dohlen

SoTL Commons Conference

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global event that has impacted both how and what educators teach. An unexpected outcome of the pandemic was the ability to enhance student understanding of public health through discussion of the novel coronavirus. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) provide students with authentic research experiences in the framework of an undergraduate course. Here the reconfiguration of the Parasitology Research course as an online CURE is discussed. This course included curriculum focused not only on parasite diagnostics, but also how it relates to diagnosing COVID-19 with the aim of helping students become scientifically prepared citizens.
