Childhood Obesity In Low-Income Dallas Neighborhoods, Leanne Hamilton, Kym Gonzalez, Jana Wallis, Rachael Russell, Bahareh Ravandi, Sarah Camodeca
Big iDeas 2008 Proposals
Childhood obesity stands at the forefront of problems in the city of Dallas… To combat this problem, we propose a pilot program that will be readily reproducible throughout the city. We will build upon longstanding ties and a tradition of trust that has been cultivated between SMU’s Center for Inter-Community Experience (ICE) and the low-income neighborhoods of East Dallas.
Establishing Microenterprise In The Vickery Meadow Community Of Dallas, Laura Arellano-Weddleton, Andrea Fernandez, Jobin Kalathil
Establishing Microenterprise In The Vickery Meadow Community Of Dallas, Laura Arellano-Weddleton, Andrea Fernandez, Jobin Kalathil
Big iDeas 2008 Proposals
The neighborhood of Vickery Meadow, situated in Dallas slightly north of White Rock Lake, is a unique community that boasts high ethnic diversity. Vickery would be an ideal location to pilot a microenterprise program that would provide empowerment, mentorship, and the opportunity for economic growth for these families. The pilot program would be a selfsustaining tradition of microenterprise in Vickery Meadow that would include regular market events in a permanent space within the neighborhood. Such a program would provide a center of community and support for the residents of the neighborhood, as well as an inviting place for members of …

Big iDeas 2008 Proposals
The city of Dallas, like many other American cities, is currently facing an air quality crisis. This study will utilize the DART system as a case example in the process of determining how a public transit system can be successfully applied in cities subject to urban sprawl situations similar to Dallas’. Possible alternatives, adjustments and improvements to the DART system will be considered and analyzed. Social implications and logistical adjustments will be central to the study. The final goal is to find changes that will increase the percentage of commuters who choose to use public transportation. Hopefully, the successful result …

Breaking Linguistic Barriers: Establishing And Advocating Competitive Communication Skills Through A Mock Trial, Todd Baty, Andrew Shaw, Ryan Moore, Jessica Wikstrom
Big iDeas 2008 Proposals
This Big iDeas project attempts to single-out and correct he gap between the expectations of employers and the reality of public education curriculum — specifically, the missing component of verbal communication skills development. We will tackle the issue first-hand and develop oral communication skills in current Dallas ISD high school students through an after-school Mock Trial program at two locations: Woodrow Wilson High School and Hillcrest High School. Every moment of this project will be videoed so that a multimedia presentation or documentary can be created.

Reformation In Practices And Policies Regarding Public School Safety, James Petersen, Angelle Mcbride
Reformation In Practices And Policies Regarding Public School Safety, James Petersen, Angelle Mcbride
Big iDeas 2008 Proposals
Among the many sections of Dallas, SMU's campus is definitely one of the safest. Many contributing reasons for this include the active police force and campus security. Besides the manpower, the campus has a safe feel due to the many other precautions that the school has taken. An example of these precautions is the emergency text messaging and email system, which allows for the quick spread of vital information. In the wake of the tragic Virginia Tech shooting, SMU took a strong step toward protecting its students and faculty with this system. The effect of this system could be felt …

Attrition Of Esl Foreign-Born Hispanic Students At Csn, Luis B Ortega
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This qualitative naturalistic study examined the retention barriers for foreign-born Hispanic English as Second Language (ESL) students that dropped out of the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) ESL for-credit program and the need for services they perceived would have helped them succeed. The participants for this study were foreign-born Hispanics who were taking ESL 110B, ESL 111B and ESL 120B (levels 1, 2, and 3) during the 2005-2006 academic year and have since dropped out. The main focus of the study was on institutional and social factors that affected the retention rate of this population at CSN. Four in-depth interviews …

Knowledge Of Personal Energy Requirements In College Students, Aurora Maria Buffington
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This study explored whether university students enrolled in health science classes were able to estimate their energy requirements within a range of calories equal to predicted Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) +/- two standard deviations. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and a participant survey were given to a convenience sample of 63 male and 92 female undergraduate students (19-23 years) with subsequent measurements of height, weight and body fat percentage. Results from the IPAQ yielded metabolic equivalents which were converted to physical activity coefficients for use in the EER equation. Students significantly underestimated their EER by an average of 700 …
The Athletic, Academic, And Social Experiences Of Female Intercollegiate Team Sport Student-Athletes, Jason Michael Frank
The Athletic, Academic, And Social Experiences Of Female Intercollegiate Team Sport Student-Athletes, Jason Michael Frank
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Intercollegiate athletics at the Division I level in the United States have developed into highly publicized forms of entertainment and business (Hill, Burch-Ragan, & Yates, 2001), while often generating conflicts and dilemmas within universities when the goals of the athletic department clash with the goals of the school (Sperber, 1990; Zimbalist, 1999). In the middle of it all are student-athletes, young adults whose title combines two distinct roles into one. Balancing these roles can be difficult (Adler & Adler, 1987; Adler & Adler, 1990; Miller & Kerr, 2002; Miller & Kerr, 2003), but student-athletes who do balance their roles and …

Analysis Of The Application Of First Amendment Jurisprudence To University Student Fees *Policies, Christine Chairsell
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The allocable student activity fee represents a fee imposed by the university administration and is paid at the time that tuition is paid. The administration or the elected student government body representatives disperse these collected fees to groups that have made application for funding and have passed the review process. Sometimes students object to their mandatory activities fees being diverted to certain groups because they are either political or advocate opinions with which the students disagree. Thus, the controversy becomes a free speech challenge; The purpose of this study was to provide a historical case study about the legal controversies …
The Effects Of Students' Asynchronous Online Discussions Of Conceptual Errors On Intentionally Flawed Teacher-Constructed Concept Maps, Magdalena Sas
The Effects Of Students' Asynchronous Online Discussions Of Conceptual Errors On Intentionally Flawed Teacher-Constructed Concept Maps, Magdalena Sas
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Research shows that online discussions are often unfocused and without providing much benefit to students' learning outcomes. One of the reasons behind this phenomenon is the lack of or inadequate scaffolding or guidance provided to students when participating on asynchronous discussion boards. The collaborative misconception mapping strategy is a tool that was designed to mediate cognitive and metacognitive processes via feedback provided by peers and a teacher-created concept map that contains intentional conceptual errors; This study evaluated the effects of collaborative misconception mapping as compared with those of a traditional online discussion activity, where students post responses to discussion questions. …
The Impact Of Interactive Factors On Romanian Students' Understanding Of Place Value, Madalina Tanase
The Impact Of Interactive Factors On Romanian Students' Understanding Of Place Value, Madalina Tanase
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Students' mathematics achievement is believed to be influenced by a variety of factors (Brenner, Master of Engineering (ME), Herman S., Ho, H.Z. & Zimmer, J.M., 1999; Cai, C. 2000; Huntsinger, C. & J., P.E., 2000; Ma, 1999; Miura, 1987; Stevenson, L. & Stigler, J.W. 1986). As such, the performance gap in mathematics between students from different countries was attributed in turn, to the teachers' subject matter and pedagogical knowledge (Ma, 1999, Perry, 2000), curriculum development (Li, 2000; Valverde, Bianchi, Wolfe, Schmidt, Houang, 2002), native language (Miura, 1987), as well as parental raising and teaching strategies (Dornbush, Ritter, Leiderman, Roberts, & …
The Nature Of Epistemic Climates In Elementary Classrooms, Florian C Feucht
The Nature Of Epistemic Climates In Elementary Classrooms, Florian C Feucht
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This study explored the nature of three epistemic climates in a fourth-grade classroom (i.e., a science and a reading lesson) and a sixth-grade classroom (i.e., a reading lesson). An epistemic climate is defined as the nature of knowledge and knowing emerging from the personal epistemologies of: (1) students, and (2) teachers, as well as from the epistemological underpinnings of (3) knowledge representations (e.g., curricula and textbooks), (4) instruction, and (5) their reciprocal relations. An epistemic climate is unique to individual classrooms and subject to change. A variety of qualitative methods were applied to tap the five data points of each …

The Effect Of Teach For America Teachers Outside Their Classrooms, Sarah Prenovitz
The Effect Of Teach For America Teachers Outside Their Classrooms, Sarah Prenovitz
Honors Papers
Teach for America (TFA) aims to some day make it possible for every American child to receive a great education. As means to that end TFA attempts to get teachers "willing to go above and beyond the constraints of the system to ensure that their students excel" into classrooms, to encourage "long-term, sustained leadership in education;" and to "change the prevailing ideology around educational inequity," which supports a rationalization that poor children achieve less than others because they are unmotivated and do not receive support at home (see www.teachforamerica.org). The organization argues that teachers alone cannot change the system, but …

This project used the voices of diverse cohorts of students to describe their learning journeys as they progressed through the later years of their degree and into the workforce. The project combined quantitative data from a large student sample with qualitative data from a series of case study narratives to document the students’ perceptions about their learning experiences, the factors underpinning progression in their studies and their transition into the workplace. The project has attempted to answer the question: does diversity matter? Do students of different diversities progress differently, and are there differences in the factors enhancing progression and developing …

Issues, Challenges, And Needs Of High School Esl And Content-Area Teachers In The Richmond Metropolitan Area, Seonhee Cho, Hana Kim
MERC Publications
n recent years, public schools in Central Virginia have experienced a fast growing ESL population. School districts throughout the state have reported increases in their ESL population that range from 300% to 700% in the past ten years. Unlike states with big cities that traditionally have a high immigrant population, the Virginia schools where the number of English language learners (ELLs) has increased recently, are less likely prepared to meet the needs of this particular group of students (Echevarria, Vogt & Short, 2004). With the passage of the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act (2002), academic success is increasingly …
