Preparing Young Children To Respond To Art In The Museum, Nancy L. Stewart

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis describes a research study which the Investigator prepared and documented. It involved two groups of five kindergarten children who were prepared by the Investigator to view one artwork in a museum. Children were prepared to view the artwork by exploring and solving open-ended design problems with large shapes, one-third the size of those in the artwork. The Investigator guided children to respond to the artwork through inquiry and discovery activities related to the artwork's specific characteristics. Findings revealed that kindergarten children enjoyed exploring large shapes and were capable of solving collaborative design problems with the shapes, which prepared …

A Sociocultural-Theory-Based Study Of The Impact Of Mediation During Post-Observation Conferences On Language Teacher Learning, Jane Harvey

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The post-observation conference offers a potentially fecund context for promoting language teacher learning, but very little research has been conducted into how this actually happens. Taking Vygotskian sociocultural theory as its theoretical framework, this study examined the mediational discourse of a series of post-observation conferences between a mentor and two practicing English language teachers to investigate the nature of the discourse and the relationship between the mediational discourse and the language teachers` learning. Features of mediational discourse identified a priori (such as intersubjectivity, graduated and contingent help, and externalization of reasoning) were present in the data, but were found to …

Professor Gender, Age, And “Hotness” In Influencing College Students’ Generation And Interpretation Of Professor Ratings, Sara L. Sohr-Preston, Stefanie S. Boswell, Kayla Mccaleb, Deanna Robertson

Higher Learning Research Communications

Undergraduate psychology students rated expectations of a bogus professor (randomly designated a man or woman and hot versus not hot) based on an online rating and sample comments as found on RateMyProfessors.com (RMP). Five professor qualities were derived using principal components analysis (PCA): dedication, attractiveness, enhancement, fairness, and clarity. Participants rated current psychology professors on the same qualities. Current professors were divided based on gender (man or woman), age (under 35 or 35 and older), and attractiveness (at or below the median or above the median). Using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), students expected hot professors to be more attractive …

Instructional Design In Online Learning: Components Of Quality, Lenore J. Kinne, Shannon M. Eastep

Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning

Although there are obvious differences between online instruction and face-to-face instruction, this paper focuses on their similarities. One of the challenges when designing a course that has been successfully taught in a face-to-face format is deciding what will stay the same versus what will be changed. How does one replace what happens in class with meaningful online content? In what ways can content be presented aside from reading text on one's computer screen? With these questions in mind, an instructor began collaborating with an instructional designer to develop her first online course, a graduate level course in pupil assessment and …

Graphic Organizers In The Social Studies Classroom: Effective Content Integration Tools For Preservice Teachers, Sharon Gieselmann

Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning

Preservice teachers working with elementary school teachers in university practicum settings often report limited time for social studies instruction because of increased accountability for mathematics and reading achievement via No Child Left Behind. Incorporating content literacy tools such as graphic organizers with social studies learning can be an effective means for integrating these content areas. The author shares results of a university project describing preservice teachers use of graphic organizers during content reading instruction in practicum classroom settings.

Incorporating Electronic Books Into A Graduate Reading Methods Class: Improving The Comprehension Of Students In Grades K-12, Chhanda Islam Dr.

Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning

The purpose of this paper was to explore how various features of electronic books captured students’ attention and built their confidence and knowledge base, and to what extent, if any, reading electronic books supported critical thinking skills and understanding of the text of students in grades K-12; the experienced teachers were enrolled in a summer reading/writing literacy program, offered by a mid-western university. The graduate reading methods course consisted of a tutoring session utilizing electronic books to improve the comprehension of students in grades K-12. The experienced teachers implemented electronic books to provide a context that helped their students to …

Podcasting From Powerpoint Made Easy For Faculty, William J. Attenweiler, Gregory A. Bryant, Michael Lively, Alex Greene

Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning

Student demand, institutional support, and evidence of quality learning through web-based instruction should encourage faculty to experiment with alternative methods of delivering instruction. The authors developed a procedure to produce and deliver classroom lecture material by narrating PowerPoint presentations and converting to podcasts. This procedure requires little to no technical support, even for the technologically impaired, and costs less than $100 in equipment and software combined. It is an example of the many alternative distance education options available to educators today.
