Lengua Madre : Educational Experiences Of Aisd Students With Spanish As A Mother Tongue, Lindsey Elena Cottle

Capstone Collection

This study examines the educational experiences of Spanish-speaking students within the Austin Independent School District (AISD), exploring the question: How do adults who grew up with Spanish as their mother tongue and attended AISD perceive their educational experiences in light of the language of instruction? Few studies capture the personal, retrospective perspectives of Spanish-speaking students in predominantly English-medium districts. This small-scale qualitative study adds narrative depth to a field often dominated by success metrics and demographic data.

Data was collected through anonymous online surveys from former AISD students who identified as Spanish speakers. Thematic analysis focused on educational backgrounds, language …

Concierge: How The Pandemic Lockdown Changed The Face Of Access Services, Stephen J. Walker

Urban Library Journal

This article addresses the changes made in Access Services in an urban college library after reopening during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the pandemic the library witnessed a downturn in patron visits and physical textbook usage as classes remained mostly online. Access Services moved from being a fast-paced, high demand service desk of print textbooks and laptops to a slower user assistance library services unit. Reopening the library to the college community and creating a safe study space for students required preparation. Various key resources such as study rooms, calculators, phone chargers, and headsets became a higher priority for students post-lockdown. …

In Search Of The Causes Of The Globalization Backlash: Methodological Considerations On Post-Treatment Bias, Paolo Agnolin, Italo Colantone, Piero Stanig

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

We study the implications of post-treatment bias in the context of the globalization backlash. We discuss whether horse-race regressions can inform about the relative role of economic vs. cultural drivers. We make three methodological points: (1) if and insofar as cultural variables are post-treatment with respect to economic factors, the estimates of the effect of economic shocks on voting are biased in regressions that include cultural controls (and vice versa); (2) for the same reason, such horse-race regressions do not allow to accurately estimate the relative role of economic vs. cultural factors; (3) one cannot infer mediation effects from changes …

Investing In The Future: A Financial Comparative Study Of Hsis, Hbcus, And Non-Minority Serving Liberal Arts Colleges, Sophia Phelan

Honors Program Theses and Research Projects

This research presents a preliminary expedition into identifying the relationship between Net Present Value (NPV) and Return on Investment (ROI) of general liberal arts institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). HSIs and HBCUs have a long tradition of serving specific underrepresented communities of color, fostering success through culturally appropriate learning environments. This research utilizes a unique business lens to discuss the value of a service-based institution, using tools such as value proposition and consumer fit, and then, it compares each set of institutions using ROI and NPV. The data, sourced from College Scorecard, Georgetown …

Sharing Our Screens, Katie Day Good

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

Recently I re-watched The Truman Show, the 1998 film about a man, played by Jim Carey, who discovers that his life has been broadcast to the world as a reality TV show. Though produced a quarter of a century ago, the movie’s critique of an “always-on,” surveillant media culture felt timely and spoke to my social media-fatigued soul. But in other ways, the film reminded me that it is the product of a bygone era.

U.S-Venezuelan Relations: Personality And Foreign Policy Decision Making, Isabella D. Alvarez Chacon

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro, the authoritarian socialist regime leaders in Venezuela, are known for their social programs and their stance against the U.S., but only Maduro cut off diplomatic relations with the U.S., one of the most significant FP decisions of his administration. This research examines the role that the personalities of these leaders may have played in explaining their distinct FP towards the U.S. Personality helps find traits that shift a leader’s behavior that then influence how they make decisions. Previous research has shown that personality is a helpful tool for understanding leaders' strategies, but it has not …

Impact Of Saf Blends On U.S. Airline Profits, Hui Shan Soh, Matthew Yang An Chan, Joyce Nayome Odulio Valerio, Sutton Adam

Introduction to Research Methods RSCH 202

IATA's 2050 net-zero emissions target is expected to pose significant financial challenges for airlines due to the high implementation costs and the expense of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). To remain competitive, this research advocates for the gradual adoption of SAF through a blended approach with Traditional Aviation Fuel (TAF). Incrementally increasing the SAF blend over time allows airlines to recover initial implementation costs while progressively raising the SAF percentage. This research aims to develop a formula to help airlines calculate the ideal SAF-to-TAF blend ratio for maintaining profitability. Key factors considered in the formula include SAF and TAF prices, carbon …

Physical Fitness And Nutrition In Collegiate Musical Theater Programs, Alexis Ochi, Amy Morgan Ph.D, Mary-Jon Ludy Ph.D.

Honors Projects

BACKGROUND: Athleticism and physical fitness are often not the first characteristics one identifies when visualizing someone in musical theater. Watching just one performance can make it clear that dancing, acting, running, all while singing and keeping near perfect pitch requires a theater actor to be extremely fit. As well as fitness, nutrition considerations and injury prevention should also be considered due to the high physiological demand placed on these performers. Minimal research has been conducted regarding the fitness and nutritional habits of musical theater performers. PURPOSE: This study investigated the prevalence of discussions about fitness and nutrition in collegiate musical …

The Role Of Full-Time Job Postings For Postsecondary Cte Faculty In Curriculum Design: A Document Analysis, James Bartlett Ii, Michelle Bartlett

Journal of Research in Technical Careers

This study examines job postings for full-time postsecondary Career Technical Education (CTE) faculty to explore job duties. Document analysis was used on the job postings collected on JobsEQ Real-Time Intelligence for CTE instructors in North Carolina. Over a year, 318 job postings were found through specific search terms in JobsEQ, with 205 retained. Discarded postings were due to duplication, not postsecondary CTE, or part-time positions. Examination of job postings revealed six thematic areas that tie to curricular skills: development process, inputs and standards, content of the CTE curriculum for students, uses of curriculum in the CTE instructor’s role, goals, and …

Examining Social Capital And First-Generation Student Status: Evidence From A Midwest University, Christine Sudbrock, Ximena Uribe-Zarain, Tracey A. Glaessgen, James Sottile, Kim K. Finch

Journal of Research in Technical Careers

As demand for college graduates grows (Times Higher Education, 2023) persistence rates for first-generation students continue to lag (Toutkoushain et al., 2018, 2021). Complicating our understanding of this opportunity gap is the diversity of how first-generation student status is defined (Jo Peralta & Klonowski, 2017). We argue that while notable differences exist between first-generation students whose parents have no college experience (FGS-none), and those from families with collegiate backgrounds (continuing-generation), the distinctions between first-generation students with parents who have some college experience (FGS-some), and the other two groups are unclear. As such, this study investigates the implications of varying definitions …

Making A Career Out Of Teaching: Exploring Longevity And Resiliency In Tennessee School-Based Agriculture Teachers, S. Sirrena Wiggins, Blake C. Colclasure, Tyler Granberry, Christopher T. Stripling

Journal of Research in Technical Careers

The need for qualified school-based agricultural education (SBAE) teachers is often discussed in terms of teacher recruitment; however, retaining those teachers is also necessary to ensure the stability and longevity of SBAE programming. Through the lens of teacher resilience, this qualitative study sought to answer the question: What individual and social-ecological characteristics of Tennessee career agriculture teachers contributed to their resiliency and longevity in the profession? In response, we conducted a phenomenological study of Tennessee agriculture teachers with 15 or more years in the profession. After coding data from 15 interviews, six themes emerged: (1) Passion, (2) Support, (3) Adaptability, …
