Beyond The Classroom: Do The Iowa Civic Virtues Standards Achieve Their Goals?, Damien Foster

Honors Program Theses

Civic education is essential in shaping informed and active citizens, and evaluating its impact is equally as fundamental. This study examines the connection between the Iowa civic virtues standards and the civic behaviors and attitudes of recent high school graduates. Through an online survey of college students in Iowa, findings suggest that while the standards effectively communicate civic values, there is a gap in translating this knowledge into practical engagement, particularly in political participation. Additionally, the rising influence of digital media on students' political decisions highlights the need for enhanced digital data and information literacy education. This study provides many …

A Systematic Review Of Creating An Ideal Adult Day Center For People With Dementia In Ghana (Sub-Saharan Africa), Christopher Lartei Aryee

Graduate Research Papers

Historically, the concept of adult day centres for people with dementia and other neurocognitive impairments has emanated from the West. Currently, in most western countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, these facilities have become an important part of the continuum of care for the elderly and disabled (Doherty et al., 2020). These adult daycare centers provide a planned environment for medical supervision, social activities, and recreational therapy on an individual basis. Most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, however, like Ghana, have been slow in developing such facilities. Stigma associated with dementia and mental disorders, coupled with a …

In all three units students focused on the following SEPs: Asking questions, Analyzing and Interpreting Data, and Engaging in an Argument from Evidence.

The research question posed in this study is: In what ways are LGBTQ+ characters represented in the Iowa Teen Award books? The analysis of eight middle-grade books (Appendix A) using the book analysis tool (Appendix B) identified three themes: Transformation of Understanding, Hopefulness, and Richness of Plot. Results showed that while all the books had a complex storyline, only five of the books showed a …

Graduate Research Papers

Gender and sexually diverse adolescents (GSD) experience extreme risk to their safety and well-being in all parts of their lives, including in their educational experience (The Trevor Project, 2023). With the risks GSD adolescents experience, it is important to understand the negatives and positives they report. Positive experiences included their self-defined identities, peer connections, and the GSD community and negative experiences surrounded their families, schools, religious institutions, and residential communities (Higa et al., 2014).
