Combining Academic Service-Learning And Information Literacy: A New Framework For An Introductory Women's Studies Course, Solange Simoes, Suzanne Gray

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at EMU

Solange Simões and Suzanne Gray’s work is a collaborative in every sense of the word – a sociologist with a joint appointment in women’s and gender studies has collaborated with a faculty librarian to study how students learn to write better papers, and engage more deeply with the course material, in an introductory women’s and gender studies class. Students engaged in academic service-learning and in exercises intended to improve their information literacy skills as part of the class. Solange and Suzanne explore whether these activities helped students develop stronger ideas for term papers and do a better job using appropriate …

Designing And Improving An Outdoor Experiential Learning Course: A Sotl Journey, Jean L. Bush-Bacelis

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at EMU

Jean Bush-Bacelis’ chapter is a true “vision of the possible.” Jean wishes to take a group of EMU students to wilderness area for a week-long outdoor education program and see if they can build skills in such areas as teamwork, leadership, delegation, problem-solving, etc. In other words, she wishes to take these students “into the field” and have them learn important management skills in an applied stetting. It sounds like an interesting way to learn course material; I suspect, as does Jean, that this will promote deep understanding and allow her students to apply the material in ways that traditional …

Effects Of Traditional And Digital Media On Student Learning In Space Design, Jiang Lu

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at EMU

Jiang Lu’s chapter focuses on a hot issue in the teaching of space design – should students be trained primarily in traditional (pen and pencil) design techniques, or should their training primarily be in digital media (through such programs as AutoCAD and SketchUp)? Jiang created a set of design projects for her studio design class and gave the students wide latitude in choosing the techniques they would use. She then examined the choices they made and surveyed her students to get their perspectives on why they did what they did. Thus, one of the benefits of this chapter is that …

How Reacting To The Past Games "Made Me Want To Come To Class And Learn": An Assessment Of The Reacting Pedagogy At Emu, 2007-2008, Mark D. Higbee

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at EMU

Mark Higbee reports in his chapter on his use of an innovative pedagogy, Reacting to the Past, at Eastern Michigan University. The Reacting method was originally developed at Barnard College; Mark’s chapter reveals the challenges of adapting this approach to a regional comprehensive university with a diverse student body. But more than that, Mark’s chapter is about the opportunities associated with using this pedagogy here at EMU. The levels of student engagement produced through students’ “playing” these elaborate games are quite impressive and, as Mark notes, very much needed in the EMU context.

One of the things I particularly like …

Making Cooperative Learning Visible Without The Group Grade, Jeannette Kindred

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at EMU

Jenny Kindred wrestles in this chapter with a dilemma many of us have faced: how to grade group assignments. I suspect many people reading this have a memory of getting a lower grade than we deserved in a group project because a fellow group member didn’t pull his or her weight. My experience with this has always made me shy away from giving group grades. And yet, others convincingly argue that group grades are required in order to build a cohesive group rather than a collection of individuals who happen to be working on the same project. Since group work …

Chemistry In Second Life, Andrew Lang, Jean-Claude Bradley

College of Science and Engineering Faculty Research and Scholarship

This review will focus on the current level on chemistry research, education, and visualization possible within the multi-user virtual environment of Second Life. We discuss how Second Life has been used as a platform for the interactive and collaborative visualization of data from molecules and proteins to spectra and experimental data. We then review how these visualizations can be scripted for immersive educational activities and real-life collaborative research. We also discuss the benefits of the social networking affordances of Second Life for both chemists and chemistry students.

Why & How Instructors Grade Participation In, Susan L. Rogers

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

Although active engagement and participation in college courses has been shown to lead to increased learning (Weaver & Qi, 2005), instructors often struggle to get their students to participate more in class. This issue is sometimes addressed by including "participation" in grading criteria. The current study investigates this convention by identifying current instructor attitudes and practices towards grading student participation in undergraduate classrooms. To this end, a survey has been created and piloted amongst university instructors of varying disciplines. Data is presented in the context of current literature, and relationships between attitudes and practices in grading participation will be explored.

Database System Architecture For Fault Tolerance And Disaster Recovery, Anthony Nguyen

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Application systems being used today rely heavily on the availability of the database system. Disruption of database system can be damaging and catastrophic to the organization that depends on the availability of the database system for its business and service operations. To ensure business continuity under foreseeable and unforeseeable man-made or natural disasters, the database system has to be designed and built with fault tolerance and disaster recovery capabilities. This project explored existing technologies and solutions to design, build, and implement database system architecture for fault tolerance and disaster recovery using Oracle database software products. The project goal was to …

The Impact Of Tagging/Metadata Creation Exercises On College Freshmen’S Metacognitive Skills, Hilary Wilder

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

Tagging is the process of specifying keywords, categories, and other identifying information for online informational and creative pieces such as photos, audio clips, video clips and text pages so that it can be searched for and located by others as well as semantically connected to similar objects on the Web. It was hypothesized that the repeated process of tagging objects and then receiving feedback from peers who try to use the tags to select the correct object as part of an online game-like activity would lead to improved epistemological skills.

Flame Or Fizzle? A Comparative Case Study Of The Sparc Experience, Cynthia Bushey

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

Social Perceiving-Acting Reciprocal Conversations (SPARC) is an emerging approach to large group discussions. SPARC utilizes an iterative approach to group discussions by nesting small fishbowl discussions within a larger whole group discussion. Theoretically, this structure affords reciprocal participant interactions for the negotiation of meaning and increased depth of inquiry. This study takes a detailed look at the experiences of three undergraduates who participated in SPARC during an Educational Psychology course for non-education majors at a large university in the Northeastern United States. Luke, Esmeralda, and Diane participated in SPARC eleven times between January and May.

Financial Planning For College: What Parents Do To Prepare, Catherine A. Manly, Ryan S. Wells

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

This study explores reported parental financial college preparations and the amount parents have saved for college, with a goal of determining strategies used by different parents based on parental college aspirations and expectations for their child, as well as the highest reported parental and grandparental educational levels. Regression analysis indicates that parents' expectations, but not their aspirations, correspond to engagement in financial planning. Family education is strongly associated with taking some financial planning actions and the amount saved. The results may be helpful to those who are working to increase the effectiveness of disseminating college financial information to parents.

Are Today's General Education Teachers Prepared To Meet The Needs Of Their Inclusive Students?, Kate Rosenzweig

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

As a result of a push towards inclusion in recent years, Brownell et al. (2006) shows how general education teachers "play a primary role in the education of students with disabilities...[but] often they report feeling unprepared to undertake this role," (p. 171). This is true for not only current general education teachers who are experiencing first-hand the changes that are occurring throughout the national education system, but even pre-service teachers who are in the process of completing their masters program still believe that they are not learning the skills needed to successfully teach in today's classroom environment. This paper researches …

Available Classroom Supports For Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders In Public Schools, Cheryl A. Sandford

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

A self-administered electronic survey and follow-up interviews were used to determine the quality, quantity and types of supports that are provided for students with autism spectrum disorders in a variety of public school settings nationwide. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted to determine the effects of educators’ background, ongoing training and development activities, opinions and attitudes of educators on the supports available. Statistically and socially significant effects were found for a number of these characteristics. A need for increased and improved educator training in autism strategies was a prevalent theme throughout the data.

How Qualified Are You And How Long Will You Stay?: An Exploratory Study Of Novice Teachers' Perceptions Of Preparation, Inducation And Attrition, Maria Boeke Mongillo

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

Preparing high quality teachers is important for solving the problem of teacher attrition. Attrition occurs earlier and with more frequency in teaching than in any other field. Higher quality teachers, who are better prepared to handle the realities of the classroom and perceive greater levels of efficacy, are more likely to remain in the field. This qualitative study explored five novice teachers' perceptions of the roles their preparation and induction programs played in developing their content knowledge, skills, dispositions, and efficacy. Findings highlight the importance of linking coursework to practice, training in planning and reflection, and collaborating with veteran teachers.

A Researcher's Dilemma: A Comparison Of Estimated Versus Actual College G.P.A., William E. Herman, Gena C. Nelson

NERA Conference Proceedings 2009

This study compared college student reported grade point average (GPA) with actual GPA as recorded at the Registrar’s Office to determine the accuracy of student reported GPA. Results indicated that, on average, students reported slightly higher GPA than their actual GPA. Additionally, females were virtually as accurate as males and students with high GPA’s were more accurate than students with lower GPA’s. Since 17% of unexplained variance in actual GPA was found based upon student GPA estimates, the findings support the recommendation that researchers employ the actual GPA recorded in the Registrar’s Office whenever possible and feasible.
