A Study On The Current Status Of Technology Application And Learning Models In Senior Citizens' Participation In Ceramic Craft Experience Activities, Tien-Li Chen, Ting-Yu Hsu, Rui Zhu

IASDR Conference Series

Global population aging has brought increasing attention to the quality of later life and physical and mental health. Relevant studies have shown that craft-based art activities can enhance well-being and fine motor skills, and provide older adults with a means of non-verbal communication. In addition, as technology has become integrated into daily life, its impact on elderly learning has also drawn interest. This study aims to explore the actual situations and effects of technology use during older adults’ participation in ceramic craft experience activities, further understanding how elderly learners access learning resources, their level of acceptance toward technological tools, and …

Brazilian Physical Education Undergraduate Students' Attitudes Toward Different Types Of Disability, Doralice Lange De Souza, Jackeline Colere

International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity and International Symposium on Physical Activity and Visual Impairment and Deafblindness

Introduction People with disabilities (PWD) face prejudice and negative attitudes worldwide. This reality is not different in Brazil, where 8.9% of the population report "great difficulty" or "total inability" performing essential functions (e.g., seeing, hearing, moving, tasks, taking care of themselves, communicating, learning, remembering, concentrating) (IBGE, 2023). Few studies examine if attitudes vary by disability type (TIMMONS; MCGINNITY; CARROLL, 2023). Considering this context, this study investigated if second-year undergraduate Physical Education students in a Brazilian university hold different attitudes towards people with physical (PWPD), visual (PWVD), and intellectual disabilities (PWID).

Methodology The participants were 105 students who completed a questionnaire …

The Effect Of Disability Education Among College Students' Attitudes And Perceptions Of People With Disabilities In Society, Allison J. Jackson, Mallory Marshall

International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity and International Symposium on Physical Activity and Visual Impairment and Deafblindness

Introduction

Disability education (DE) in higher education promotes social inclusion and challenges stereotypes about people with disabilities (PWD). This study aimed to explore how exposure to DE influences college students' attitudes and perceptions toward PWD.

Methodology

Respondents were categorized into three groups: 1- no exposure (n=97), 2 – at least one course (n=28), 3 – two or more courses (n=8). Multivariate ANOVA was used to analyze differences in attitudes …

Building Evidence-Based Pbs For Schools, Clinics And Communities, Tom Clees

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Abstract

For students in both the general and adapted curriculum, low achievement, behavioral excesses and social skills deficits are predictive of each other (Gresham, 2016;). Too, an escalating cycle may lead to further antisocial responses, a decrease in learning outcomes, and exclusion from services for some (Kauffman, 2018). Related to these challenges, the successful application of positive behavior supports has been widely reported by schools, clinics, and community-based services. Although definitions of PBS, and the scope of these practices, vary depending on the reference point of those responsible for administration and application, there seems to be agreement that PBS practices …

Navigating Multiracial Identity Development In The Digital Ages: An Intersectional Exploration, Diana Mccullough

National Cross-Cultural Counseling & Education Conference for Research, Action & Change (2016-2024)

In the 2020 U.S. Census, 33.8 million individuals reported multiracial identities, which increased since 2010 from nine million (US Census, 2020). Despite the substantial growth in multiracial individuals, there remains a dearth of understanding regarding the unique challenges and determining factors shaping their identity. This session aims to equip counselors and counselor educators with evidence-based strategies to navigate and support the intricate identity development of multiracial clients and students.

Comparison Of Product And Observational Measures Of Academic Engagement Under Different Contingencies Of Reinforcement, Milad Najafichaghabouri

Student Research Symposium

Educational researchers frequently target and measure student on-task behavior in academic settings. On-task behavior is typically defined based on the topography of the behavior (i.e., what it looks like to be on task). However, few studies have assessed if students being on task corresponds with students completing more work or responding more accurately. The current study examined correspondence between on-task behavior, work completion, and work accuracy for four elementary and middle-school aged children across different contingencies of reinforcement in a clinical setting. Academic engagement was assessed for each participant under different conditions: baseline, on task, work completion, work accuracy, and …

Overlap Analysis Using Oclc Wms, Janice Schuster

HELIN Library Consortium Annual Conference

A brief demonstration of the process I came up with to use OCLC WMS to do an overlap analysis of online journal titles that we subscribe to directly through EBSCO, i.e. our paid subscriptions, and the access we have to those titles through our databases, in order to identify subscribed titles that we could potentially cancel. This is timely since the EBSCO renewal process starts in early June.

The Impact Of Ableism On Disability Discrimination In Employment, Emily Crispino

Academic Festival

Ableism is defined simply as discrimination in favor of able-bodied people. Whether it is a conscious or unconscious bias, many able-bodied people tend to believe that people with disabilities are less capable than themselves. Employment is an area in which implicit biases are often used when considering people with disabilities for job positions. In many cases, people with disabilities are denied employment opportunities due to assumptions that they will be less capable than able-bodied candidates. However, each individual with a disability has a unique set of traits and skills. Some individuals have physical disabilities while others have learning or cognitive …

Faith-Based Intervention: Bridging the Religiosity Gap

Religion and Spirituality (RS) has been suggested to play a positive role in the recovery process for severe mental illness. Although there is still a lot of controversy with the relationship of RS in the mental health field, previous research shows that RS promotes a healthier lifestyle, fosters a personal sense of community, and provides unique coping mechanisms for those who are in the recovery process. These findings further suggest that the need for faith-based intervention into recovery has become crucial for patients who have an intrinsic belief system. However, because there …

Employer Perceptions Of Addiction Recovery And Hiring Decisions, Haley Henderson, Valerie Hoots, Joseph Barnet, Andrea Clements

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Abstract Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a widespread, and ever-growing problem in American society today. Individuals who undergo treatment for their addiction often find it difficult to gain employment due to employers' negative perceptions of addiction. Previous research has found that many employers have a stigma of those in addiction recovery. However, little research has been done to determine if these stigmas affect hiring decisions. Drug and alcohol misuse are prominent in the Appalachian area, which presents an issue for employers in the area who maintain a drug-free work place or who have a stigma of those in addiction …

The Role Of Ada Inclusive Policies In The Recruiting Of Applicants With Autism Spectrum Disorders, Kendall L. Ray, Theresa K. Depriest, Tiffany D. Rogers, Mark C. Frame

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a set of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social interactions and interpersonal communication, repetitive behaviors, and narrow focus or interests. The severity of ASD is variable, but the symptoms span the entire lifespan of the individuals with ASD and few effective treatments for these symptoms have been identified. Each year in the United States, there are approximately 50,000 people with ASD who turn 18 years old in the United States (Shattuck et al., 2012). Where most 18 year olds are likely to go out and get a job, the employment prospect of individuals with …
