Gwu’S Dr. Casey Delehanty Co-Authors Study On Prevalence Of Torture In U.S. Movies, Office Of University Communications

Gardner-Webb NewsCenter Archive

Since America was attacked by terrorists on 9/11, the use of torture for counterterrorism tactics has become a highly-debated issue. Approximately half of adults in the United States believe torture is effective in stopping a terrorist threat, said Dr. Casey Delehanty, assistant professor of political science at Gardner-Webb University. However, many interrogation professionals disagree and maintain that torture is often counterproductive.

How Faculty Demonstrate Impact: A Multi-Institutional Study Of Faculty Understandings, Perceptions, And Strategies Regarding Impact Metrics, Caitlin Bakker, Jonathan Bull, Nancy Courtney, Dan Desanto, Allison Langham-Putrow, Jenny Mcburney, Aaron Nichols

Library Faculty Presentations

Faculty and institutions are increasingly called upon to present succinct, quantified descriptions of their research impact to administrators, funders, legislators, and academics. This project sought to explore how and what researchers think about research impact measures across disciplines and institutions. Presenters will discuss findings from a multi-institutional survey of faculty (n=1202) addressing their familiarity with metrics and altmetrics and impression of the accuracy of these metrics. We discuss how researchers use such statistical measures to demonstrate the importance of their scholarship, and their attitudes towards use of scholarly metrics by administrators. We also address possible implications for librarians supporting these …

Faculty And Staff Perception Of Financial Fraud In Higher Education, Stephanie Hammons

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

This research was designed to survey full-time faculty and staff, from multiple universities, about their experience of fraud within their current and previous institution. Through the survey, we were provided insight into the perception of fraud within higher education institutions and the faculty and staff perception of how the institution handled it. Through the information provided in the survey, it is revealed if whether fraud is a rare occurrence at most institutions or if whether it is a bigger problem than it appears to be. In addition, we will learn how many instances of fraud within different institutions participants have …

Understanding The Development Of Honors Students’ Connections With Faculty, Shannon R. Dean

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Nearly 40% of full-time students enrolled at four-year institutions depart within the first year. Previous research has shown college students are more likely to graduate if they have meaningful interactions with faculty. Honors students provide unique perspectives because of their high levels of interaction with faculty, yet not much is known about how these connections develop. The purpose of this study was to understand how honors students develop connections with faculty. Six upper-division students were interviewed, and participants reflected on meaningful connections made with faculty during their first year. Two themes were identified as influential in developing connections: approachability of …

Working At The Intersections Of Information Literacy And Scholarly Communication: New Models For Engaging Students, Faculty, And Librarians, Michelle Reed, Sarah Hare, Merinda Hensley, Amanda Makula

UTA Libraries Staff Publications - Archive

In 2013, ACRL published a white paper titled Intersections of Scholarly Communication and Information Literacy: Creating Strategic Collaborations for a Changing Academic Environment, which called for a more integrated approach to scholarly communication and information literacy outreach. This panel aims to continue the conversation started by the Intersections white paper, renewing the discussion about the value of intersectional work and providing new case studies and potential applications for participants to consider. The panel will conclude with audience participation about how the library community can structurally encourage cross-pollination between these two groups and continue to find new and emerging intersections.

Cultivating Grit: Faculty Influence On Females' Academic Success In Engineering Majors, Lisa Lynn Wymer

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between the positive and negative factors that impact undergraduate female engineering students’ academic success in their programs. While females participate and persist in higher education at higher rates than their male counterparts, engineering is one field of study where gender disparity remains especially apparent, as males continue to outnumber females in engineering degree attainment (Ross, Kena, Rathbun, KewalRamani, Zhang, Kristapovich, & Manning, 2012, Schreuders, Mannon, & Rutherford, 2009, Tsui, 2009). The conceptual framework for this study was based on Tinto’s Longitudinal Model of Institutional Departure, which provides the theoretical foundation …

A Research Proposal Investigating Career Readiness: Comparison Of College Students' Self-Perceptions In Four Soft Skills Desired By Employers, Claudia Milhano, Conrad Rhein, Kristina Ortiz, Chad Barr, Kristen Migliano

Student Publications and Presentations

Research shows currently there is a disparity of skills that employers look for in new college graduates and the skills that college students possess. Employers indicate there are specific soft skills that make new hires more valuable. For the purpose of this study, a skills gap is identified in four attributes sought by organizations. These specific skills are creativity, communication, teamwork and problem solving.

The study investigates students’ self perception of preparedness for the workplace specific to these soft skills. The developed data collection instrument will be distributed to all student athletes at Lynn University and a sample of non-student …

Black & White Response In A Gray Area: Faculty And Predatory Publishing, Nicole R. Webber, Stephanie Wiegand

University Libraries Publications

This study focuses on faculty knowledge, experiences, and attitudes regarding fraudulent journal operations. Many definitions presented to researchers contain two primary aspects to describe these intentional perpetra­tors: 1) the chief motivation to profit monetarily, and 2) the misleading promise of and failure to deliver on indicators of quality, such as peer review. While this definition is simple on its surface, when put into practice it often expands into discussions of poor or unethical practices by journal publishers. It is common to find lists of grievances clarifying acts that signal predatory or unethical practices, which are used to broadly classify jour­nals …

Faculty Teaching And Librarian-Facilitated Assignment Design, Rachel Wishkoski, Kacy Lundstrom, Erin Davis

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

This qualitative study explores the impact of a workshop on collaborative research assignment design that brought together an interdisciplinary group of faculty in a librarian-facilitated community of practice. Faculty participants attended the workshop, revised and implemented their assignments, and completed a follow-up interview. Themes that emerged reflected shifts in faculty teaching practices, including increased scaffolding, clarity, modeling, student collaboration, and opportunities for authentic learning. Gaining insight into how faculty approach the work of teaching directly impacts library instruction and how librarians can contribute to communities of practice among teachers in the academy.
