Building A Culture Of Academic Integrity [Helgevold], Abbylynn Helgevold

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

When I first started thinking about academic integrity my thoughts originally began with the classroom. I thought about the steps I take to promote integrity or, more specifically, limit cheating and academic dishonesty. Like many of my colleagues, I noticed that I too tended to focus less on punitive measures and more on positive steps to reinforce and support integrity. As many of the conference presenters indicated, these steps are recognized as strong pedagogical strategies in addition to being effective in curbing cheating behavior. When I reflect on these practices I realize that, for the most part, I consider these …

Nakba Day: The Ephemera Of Martyrdom, Philip Hopper

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

Nakba Commemoration Day for Palestinians is the counterpart of Israel’s Independence Day, which takes place one week earlier. These days respectively mark the forcible expulsions of Palestinians from the nascent state of Israel and the declaration of statehood by Israel. One tribe’s independence is another tribe’s disaster. One person’s freedom fighter is another person’s terrorist. Parallel yet inverted narratives are everywhere in history and the present, from Manifest Destiny to the Ukraine, the Sudan, Northern Ireland and elsewhere today.

Cracks In The Cornerstone: Toward More Informed Decision-Making In Rhetorical Education, David M. Grant

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

In their forum on the First-Year Cornerstone course, April Chatham-Carpenter and Deedee Heistad (2015) explain their memories of developing the program and sketch a vision of what they hope they have achieved. Certainly, all involved have worked "toward the goal of helping first-year students succeed in college," and they should be commended for their dedication and efforts to bring together often disconnected parts of the university in the name of improving student learning, retention, and overall satisfaction. As an early member of the planning team who assisted bringing the proposal for Cornerstone to the Liberal Arts Core Committee in 2010 …

Building A Culture Of Academic Integrity [Baker], Kimberly M. Baker

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

The decision to invite keynote speaker James M. Lang to the conference, and the creation of the morning plenary panel in particular, was born out of a book group that Martha Reineke and I participated in on Lang’s book, Cheating Lessons: Learning from Academic Dishonesty (2013). In this book, Lang argues that our best strategies for reducing cheating involve using effective pedagogies that focus on promoting learning. Thus, in contrast to approaches to academic dishonesty that focus on teaching students to fear the consequences of being caught and corresponding surveillance strategies that assume all students are potential cheaters, Lang’s …

Building A Culture Of Academic Integrity [Terlip], Laura Terlip

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

To begin, my area of study is organizational communication and I teach both undergraduate and graduate courses in that area. I also have been teaching a course in Communication Ethics that is a Liberal Arts Core Capstone choice at the University of Northern Iowa. In all of the courses, significant discussions occur in relation to four areas: (a) the difference between effective and efficient communication and ethical communication, (b) what a person should do and what people often actually do, (c) how the situation affects the behavioral choices, and (d) the line that one crosses when unethical communication occurs …

Pedagogical Voyeurism: Dialogic Critique Of Documentation And Assessment Of Learning, Eugene Matusov, Ana Marjanovic-Shane, Sohyun Meacham

Curriculum & Instruction Faculty Publications

We challenge a common emphasis on documentation and assessment of learning for providing good education: from the mainstream of neoliberal accountability movement to the progressive Reggio Emilia schools. We develop these arguments through discussing: 1) immeasurableness of education and learning, 2) students’ ownership/authorship of education and learning. We ground our conceptualization of educational assessment in critical dialogue, in a case of a student who requested assessment of her research project, and guided her peers and the teacher in providing different aspects of this assessment. We argue that documentation of learning on teacher’s demand leads to surveillance, discipline, distraction, teacher-student distrust, …

When Politeness Is Risky: Positive Politeness And Sexual Debut, Kimberly A. Parker, Bobi Ivanov, Elisia L. Cohen

Iowa Journal of Communication

Although we know partner communication is important for safer sex behavior, we still have much to learn regarding how adolescents manage their sexual communication during initial sexual experiences. To explore these phenomena, researchers conducted 33 in-depth semi-structured interviews of young women retrospectively reflecting on their perception of communication during their first sexual intercourse. Using the framework of Politeness Theory, an inductive interpretive approach identified young women's retrospective framing of their social and sexual identities. As such, the following three concerns were identified: (1) lack of experience, (2) pressure, and (3) relational concerns. Furthermore, the manuscript describes common facework strategies women …

To Tweet Or Not To Tweet: Explaining Fan-Celebrity Interaction On Twitter, Natalie Pennington, Jeffrey A. Hall, Alex Hutchinson

Iowa Journal of Communication

This research sought to explain why individuals attempt to engage with celebrities through Twitter. Hypotheses derived from Social Penetration Theory, parasocial relationships, social cache, individual differences, and personality were tested in two studies. Survey results of Study 1 (N =349) found that a desire to interact arose out of a combination of three factors: (1) communication depth, (2) parasocial relationships, and (3) social cache. Social cache was further validated through an experimental design (N = 208) that used a 2x2x2 design with depth, parasocial relationships, and social cache to assess why some individuals engage with celebrities through Twitter. Both social …

Words Can Hurt The Ones You Love: Interpersonal Trust As It Relates To Listening Anxiety And Verbal Aggression, Natalie S. Hoskins, Alesia Woszidlo, Adrianne Kunkel

Iowa Journal of Communication

The goal of this study was to examine the associations among interpersonal trust, listening anxiety, and verbal aggression in young adult romantic relationships. Listening anxiety is a factor of informational reception apprehension (IRA; Wheeless, Preiss, & Gayle, 1997) derived/ram the perception of one's inability to effectively process information while listening. Undergraduate students (N = 307) from a Midwestern university completed an online questionnaire. Results revealed that listening anxiety was negatively associated with interpersonal trust and that interpersonal trust was negatively associated with verbal aggression. Further, there was a significant indirect effect of listening anxiety on verbal aggression through interpersonal trust, …

College Students' Disclosure Of Mental Health Counseling Utilization, Hannah Butler

Iowa Journal of Communication

Mental health issues have long been stigmatized, which has led to the discrimination against people with mental health problems and to a lack of mental health service utilization. Because of stigma, disclosing mental health problems and the use of mental health services is not an easy task. The discipline of communication has produced many studies on self-disclosure, with special attention given to the disclosure of risky information. Only recently, however, have studies begun exploring individuals' disclosure of mental illness. Few studies examine the disclosure of mental health treatment utilization. The current study explores male and female college students' disclosure of …
