Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

In contrast to current education policies that conceptualize pupil learning largely in terms of standardized exam scores, we offer an alternative view, one that conceives of pupil learning as a source of insight for pupils and teachers alike. Drawing on survey data and a qualitative study of the teacher candidate experience, we explore the allowing questions: In a teacher education program committed to promoting social justice, embracing an inquiry-into-practice stance, and affirming diversity by meeting the needs of diverse learners, how do teacher candidates assess pupil learning, in particular, how are their assessments influenced by these program themes? Further, how …

Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Applied developmental scientists face the challenge of identifying research methods that enable the efficient collection of data from youth of diverse social backgrounds (e.g., ethnic. racial, religious, economic) and varying levels cognitive-linguistic and attentional skills. In addition, because access to youth during school time is often limited by educators’ desire to preserve instructional time, finding methodologies to collect data from youth that are highly efficient, and also those that are feasible in less structured settings, are needed. This article outlines some of the benefits and limitations of using a voice enhanced survey delivered on a personal digital assistants (PDA) as …

Making The Writing Center A Writing Environment, Samantha A. Howard, Ellen Schendel Jan 2009

Making The Writing Center A Writing Environment, Samantha A. Howard, Ellen Schendel

Student Summer Scholars Manuscripts

Do writers' environments affect their work and their productivity? If so, how, and why? My

presentation outlines what an ideal writing space could and should be for various kinds of

writers.

Presently, writing centers do not necessarily encourage writing within their spaces. I explain

reasons why writing centers should remodel their spaces so that writers can write in the center,

rather than simply drop by for tutoring help, as is the typical writing center practice. Writing

centers already pride themselves by running on a model of active and social learning, which

would only be expanded by creating spaces for writers …

Predicting Music Enjoyment In Cochlear Implant Users, Rose Bradley Jan 2009

Predicting Music Enjoyment In Cochlear Implant Users, Rose Bradley

Independent Studies and Capstones

Most cochlear implant (CI) users perceive music poorly. Little is known, however, about the musical enjoyment received by CI users. The author examined possible relationships between musical enjoyment and music perception tasks through the use of 1) multiple musical tests, and 2) two groups of listeners: normal-hearing (NH) listeners with a CI-simulation and actual CI users. The two groups’ performances are compared to determine whether NH participants listening to music via CI-simulation software are a good model for actual CI users for perceiving music.
