Designing Writers: A Self-Regulated Approach To Multimodal Composition In Teacher Preparation And Early Grades, Qi Si, Tracey S. Hodges, Vahid Mousavi

Teacher Education and Leadership Faculty Publications

Reading and writing in the 21st century have evolved from traditional text-based formats to multimodal literacy, integrating linguistic, visual, auditory, and spatial modes to enhance communication and comprehension. While multimodal reading has been widely studied, multimodal writing remains underexplored, despite its growing importance in K–12 education across disciplines. Multimodal composing demands advanced self-regulation as students navigate multiple digital tools and platforms. Self-regulated learning strategies, particularly the self-regulated strategy developmental model, offer a promising approach to support students in planning, monitoring, and revising multimodal compositions. However, a comprehensive framework linking self-regulation and multimodal composition is lacking. This article addresses this gap …

Understanding The Gaming Disorder–Depression Co-Occurrence: A Narrative Literature Review, An-Pyng Sun, Stephanie Diez

Social Work Faculty Research

Because gaming disorder (GD) often co-occurs with depression, understanding how both disorders work together enables clinicians to better treat individuals with GD–depression comorbidity. The extant literature on GD–depression comorbidity is unsystematic and contradictory, with some studies suggesting depression predicts GD but not vice versa, some claiming GD predicts depression but not vice versa, and some proposing a bidirectional relationship between the two. The goal of this narrative review is to explore and organize these findings to establish a holistic and coherent conceptual framework that explains how GD co-occurs with depression.

Impacts Of Climate Change On Vertical Migration Of Zooplankton Species, Camila Rimoldi Ibañez

Florida Atlantic Undergraduate Research Journal

Vertical migration in marine and freshwater environments stands as one of Earth’s largest daily animal movements concerning biomass. It serves as a crucial life pump, shaping phytoplankton grazing patterns, facilitating nutrient transport through the water column, and providing vital sustenance for deep-water organisms lacking access to surface phytoplankton. Despite enduring millennia of climatic shifts, contemporary anthropogenic climate change surpasses historical rates of change, posing unprecedented challenges. Climate-induced phenomena increasingly affect various species, including vertical migrators. This paper delves into Diel Vertical Migration’s ecological significance and anticipates detrimental effects of climate change on individual animals’ physiology and migration patterns. Foremost, rising …

A Comparative Analysis Of The Voicing Systems In Tagalog And Hiligaynon, Ty Craaybeek

Florida Atlantic Undergraduate Research Journal

Fast Fashion: Discovering American Consumers' Opinions, Ava Vignola

Florida Atlantic Undergraduate Research Journal

The effects of fast fashion range from human rights violations to environmental devastation. This study uncovers the views of Americans on fast fashion. It was expected to find that many Americans prioritize price when shopping, due to the growth of these companies. The study had 193 people complete a questionnaire on Amazon Turk that contained 16 questions. It found that most Americans consider the price to be more important than the ethics when shopping, with there being a statistically significant difference (p < .001) in that older consumers are more likely to prioritize price. It also found that males are more likely to disagree than females with the statement that fast fashion is unethical (p < .001). This data can be used to create marketing strategies to encourage American consumers to purchase from sustainable companies.
