Building English Proficiency In Young Multilingual Learners: The Impact Of Consistent And Equitable Assessment, Sheridan Mckeithan Olson
Building English Proficiency In Young Multilingual Learners: The Impact Of Consistent And Equitable Assessment, Sheridan Mckeithan Olson
School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Projects
ssessment of elementary-aged multilingual learners (MLLs) is often narrowly associated with the ACCESS test, an annual evaluation designed to measure English Language Proficiency (ELP) across the four domains: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. However, research highlights the benefits of equitable and ongoing methods of assessment for MLLs. This capstone project, based on an extensive literature review and a professional presentation of findings, addresses the question: In what ways do frequent, more consistent assessments support early elementary-aged multilingual learners’ English development in all four domains? The research concludes that ongoing, inclusive assessment practices benefit MLLs by providing up-to-date and valid data …

Social-emotional learning (SEL) has become a cornerstone of modern education, emphasizing the importance of emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills alongside academic achievement. This capstone project explores the impact of social-emotional learning (SEL) programs on student behavior and academic performance in a fifth-grade classroom. Grounded in the implementation of the "Be Good People" SEL curriculum, the research focuses on developing core competencies such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Data was collected through classroom observations, behavioral trend analysis, and Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) academic standardized testing to analyze changes in student academic and behavioral outcomes. Results …
Enhancing Two Units Of 8th Grade U.S. History Curriculum To Support The Development Of Experienced Multilinguals’ Usage Of Oral And Written Academic Language, Olivia Nicholson
Enhancing Two Units Of 8th Grade U.S. History Curriculum To Support The Development Of Experienced Multilinguals’ Usage Of Oral And Written Academic Language, Olivia Nicholson
School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Projects
Inspired by a group of middle school experienced multilinguals (EMs), this capstone project sought to take an asset-based approach to redesigning two units of U.S. history curriculum so that the strong oral language skills of these students could be used as an educational tool for practicing academic language in speaking and writing. To complete this project, the researcher first studied the importance of using asset-based language and referring to this group of students as experienced multilinguals in lieu of long-term English learners. The researcher also examined theoretical frameworks such as Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism that support …
Elementary Educators Building Relationships With Parents And Caregivers, To Promote Student Achievement, Elena Schaust
Elementary Educators Building Relationships With Parents And Caregivers, To Promote Student Achievement, Elena Schaust
School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Projects
The link between elementary educators and the parents and caregivers of their students, and their relationships with one another as correlated to possible benefits of academic and behavioral outcomes for the student, is examined. The basis for this author’s inquiry is: What is the intrinsic value of elementary educators building meaningful relationships with parents and caregivers as a means to support positive student learning? The literature review analyzed historical and cultural assumptions, and expectations surrounding relationship building for educators, parents and caregivers. Federal and state mandates, statistics, and strategies on behalf of educators for developing and maintaining relationships are also …
Integrating Content And Language Standards To Support English Learners, Alicia Waters
Integrating Content And Language Standards To Support English Learners, Alicia Waters
School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Projects
English Learners need academic language support to reach proficiency in both language and content standards. In a school where there is a high number of English Learner (EL) students, considerations for teaching language and content simultaneously throughout the school day need to be made. Co-teaching with EL teachers as well as creating academic language objectives across the curriculum and building an understanding of the WIDA 2020 language standards for all teachers can help EL students make progress toward grade level standards. This capstone poses the question, How can content and language standards be integrated throughout the curriculum to maximize EL …
Curriculum Inquiry To Strengthen Teacher Preparation For Supporting Multilingual Learners In Rural Settings, Christiana K. Kfouri, Marjorie W. Rowe
Curriculum Inquiry To Strengthen Teacher Preparation For Supporting Multilingual Learners In Rural Settings, Christiana K. Kfouri, Marjorie W. Rowe
The Rural Educator
Multilingual learners (MLs) represent a substantial, growing segment of the PreK–12 population, including in rural areas. Several forces contribute to the increase of ML students in rural schools (e.g., immigrant labor, refugee crises). As we undergo a major cultural shift from a society that was (misguidedly) viewed as monolingual to one that is now undoubtedly multilingual, many teacher education programs have not sufficiently transformed how they prepare educators for linguistic and cultural diversity. Rural teachers indicate that teacher preparation does not include effective strategies and resources instrumental to meeting the cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of MLs. Moreover, educators may …
A Collective Case Study Of Special Educators’ Experiences Implementing Interventions In A New Reading Specialist Role, Tom Knutson
A Collective Case Study Of Special Educators’ Experiences Implementing Interventions In A New Reading Specialist Role, Tom Knutson
Dissertations (1934 -)
Millions of children in the United States struggle with reading acquisition, many of whom are identified with developmental dyslexia (DD). Although experimental research indicates that evidence-based reading interventions can bring many of these children to average-range reading skills, such promising outcomes are not commonly achieved within K-12 public schools. Consequently, many students with DD face persistent academic challenges, often resulting in long-term negative outcomes such as poor mental health and low socioeconomic status. This study investigated the perceptions which three special education teachers (SETs) held of a newly established special education reading specialist (SERS) role that aimed to support the …
It Takes A Village: Investigating How Community And Cultural Factors Foster Resilience In Latine Immigrant Families, Mara Makasiar
It Takes A Village: Investigating How Community And Cultural Factors Foster Resilience In Latine Immigrant Families, Mara Makasiar
Dissertations (1934 -)
Latine immigrants constitute the largest group of non-U.S.-born individuals in the United States and face heightened risks including poverty, inadequate healthcare, discrimination, and acculturation-related stressors. Despite these challenges, many demonstrate resilience, achieving positive outcomes for themselves and their children. This study investigated how community and cultural factors foster resilience in Latine immigrant families, addressing a gap in understanding protective mechanisms beyond individual and family levels. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative analyses (N=89) revealed that immigration-related stress significantly predicted caregiver mental health problems (β = 0.35, p < .01), while financial satisfaction emerged as a protective factor (β = -0.35, p < .01). For youth, ethnic identity predicted prosocial behaviors (β = 0.35, p < .01), and emotion regulation consistently predicted self-esteem (β = 0.40, p < .01) and mental health problems (β = -0.54, p < .01). Contrary to hypotheses, community factors (collective efficacy, religious social capital) and cultural cohesion did not significantly predict outcomes beyond individual and family factors. Qualitative interviews (n=30) provided context, revealing themes of resource access barriers, multifaceted support systems, cultural maintenance, and community involvement. These findings highlight the complex interplay of factors influencing resilience in Latine immigrant families and underscore the need for more nuanced measures of community and cultural influences. The study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of resilience processes in this population, with implications for developing culturally sensitive interventions and policies to support Latine immigrant families' well-being.
Aspirational Mexican American Parenting In The Rural South: Multilingualism, Hard Work, And The Middle Class, Alma D. Stevenson, Scott Beck
Aspirational Mexican American Parenting In The Rural South: Multilingualism, Hard Work, And The Middle Class, Alma D. Stevenson, Scott Beck
The Rural Educator
This study examined the parenting choices of Mexican-heritage former child migrant farmworkers who are now financially stable and raising their own children in the rural South. The study yielded multiple significant findings using data collected during semi-structured, bilingual focus groups and analyzed through grounded theory coding. The participants spoke of painful childhood memories of how their poverty and biculturalism left them isolated. Now, as adults, they have sought middle-class belonging for themselves and their children. They described their “pedagogies of the home” as seeking to preserve their linguistic heritage, teach the value of hard work, and facilitate their children’s upward …

This is a qualitative study on the self-reported learning outcomes and educational gains of participants of a neuropalliative care e-learning course. Results. Thematic analysis shows changes in the participants’ perceptions of neuropalliative care and several specific educational gains. After attending the course, participants recognized neuropalliative care as a multiprofessional and interdisciplinary effort requiring …
Minimal Wordlist Size For A Phonological Profile: New Evidence From Kra-Dai Languages, Kanyarin Boonkongchuen , '25
Minimal Wordlist Size For A Phonological Profile: New Evidence From Kra-Dai Languages, Kanyarin Boonkongchuen , '25
Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards
This study replicates, and extends to Kra-Dai languages, earlier work on minimal wordlist size needed to make a phonological profile of a language. Previous work on Australian languages recommended approximately 400 randomly sampled words to comprise a minimally complete profile in terms of reliably capturing every phoneme, and with accurate distribution. We survey 55 Kra-Dai languages to show that a longer minimal list is necessary, which we attribute to typological differences like larger consonant/vowel inventories. Given the widespread use of short wordlists in fieldwork, these results hold significance for designing language documentation surveys as well as projects that use legacy …
Sound Symbolism Of Vowel Metaphors In Choral Pedagogy, Olivia A. Colace , '25
Sound Symbolism Of Vowel Metaphors In Choral Pedagogy, Olivia A. Colace , '25
Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards
Singers face the daunting task of learning how to precisely control parts of their body that they cannot see. As a result, vocal pedagogy relies heavily on metaphorical language. This thesis will investigate 10 such adjectives used to describe, teach, and elicit vowel sounds in choral singing: “bright”, “dark”, “wide”, “narrow”, “open”, “closed”, “warm”, “harsh”, “rich”, and “thin.” This thesis seeks to discover if these vowel metaphors have specific acoustic and thus corresponding articulatory correlates in a sound symbolic capacity. A survey was conducted to assess judgments of sung vowels with respect to each vowel metaphor. Judgments were analyzed with …
A Non-Formal Environmental Education Curriculum Using Raptor Ambassadors To Foster Meaningful Relationships Between Diverse Learners Of All Ages And The More-Than-Human World, Danial Davis
School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Projects
This capstone project aimed to create an all ages non-formal environmental education curriculum that intentionally fostered connections between Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and environmental education and between students of all cultures and the more-than-human world. Research suggested that BIPOC were underrepresented in environmental education programs because many programs were grounded in cultural narratives that overlooked BIPOC perspectives and epistemologies, an injustice known as “ontological distance.” The author’s experience as an educator at The Raptor Center suggested that ambassador raptors such as red-tailed hawks offered highly-engaging subjects for non-formal environmental education activities, particularly for lessons attempting new or …

Assessing Functional Abilities In A Memory Disorder Population: A Comparison Of Self-Report, Informant-Report, And Performance-Based Measures, Kevin Andrew Murray
Assessing Functional Abilities In A Memory Disorder Population: A Comparison Of Self-Report, Informant-Report, And Performance-Based Measures, Kevin Andrew Murray
Theses and Dissertations
Objective: Accurate assessment of daily functioning is critical for deriving a correct diagnosis and facilitating effective patient care. While collateral reports from a reliable informant can elucidate patients’ functional capacities, they may be susceptible to misappraisals of functional status. Similarly, patients with limited insight may be prone to misjudging their functional abilities. Performance-based measures of adaptive functioning may detect subtle declines in daily functioning overlooked by self- and informant-report measures. However, these measures may be limited in terms of ecological validity. The current study investigated the association between a performance-based measure of daily functioning and patients’ and informants’ ratings of …
A Step Into Khmer’S Double Negation Mystery: Clause-Final Marker ទេ[Te:] As Negative Polarity Focus, Panhavoan Reth , '25
A Step Into Khmer’S Double Negation Mystery: Clause-Final Marker ទេ[Te:] As Negative Polarity Focus, Panhavoan Reth , '25
Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards
In Khmer, basic negation is formed using two negation elements: the preverbal marker មិន [mɨn] and the clause-final marker ទេ[te:]. However, there are cases where [te:] is optional with the utterance still retaining its negative meaning; when it is present, it is claimed that the utterance can have two readings: plain negation and emphatic negation (Saparova, 2020). Thus, there is speculation as to what function [te:] serves and what it contributes to the semantic meaning of a sentence. This thesis examines the optionality of [te:] through the lens of polarity focus, drawing on Wilder’s (2013) and Goodhue’s (2018, 2022) observations. …

A Fresh Look At Judicial Remedies In Eu Equality Law And Beyond: The Untapped Possibility Of Structural Injunctions., Daniel H. Halberstam, Sina Van Den Bogaert
A Fresh Look At Judicial Remedies In Eu Equality Law And Beyond: The Untapped Possibility Of Structural Injunctions., Daniel H. Halberstam, Sina Van Den Bogaert
Articles
This article proposes a shift in thinking about judicial remedies (or “sanctions”), from anti-discrimination law to equal pay and beyond.We suggest the currently preferred remedies – one-off declarations, compensation, fines, and simple orders to obey the law – may be insufficient when confronting a recalcitrant institution, complex violations, and broad, ongoing harm. In such cases, we suggest considering a remedy long overlooked in Europe: a “structural injunction”, i.e. ordering changes to an offending organization’s structure, processes, or rules. We argue that under certain circumstances, an injunction, including a structural injunction, may be appropriate or required under EU law to remedy …
Does Ceo Agreeableness Personality Mitigate Real Earnings Management?, Shan Liu, Xingying Wu, Nan Hu
Does Ceo Agreeableness Personality Mitigate Real Earnings Management?, Shan Liu, Xingying Wu, Nan Hu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite efforts to mitigate aggressive financial reporting, earnings management remains challenging to parties interested in inhibiting its dysfunctional effects. Using linguistic algorithms to assess CEO agreeableness personality from their unscripted texts in conference calls, we find that it is a determinant that mitigates a firm's real earnings management. Furthermore, such an effect is more pronounced when firms confront intensive market competition and financial distress and have weaker managerial entrenchment or when CEOs face stronger internal governance. Our findings persist even after we utilize several alternative real earnings management metrics and control other confounding personalities in prior earnings management studies. The …
Collaborative Cross-Modal Fusion With Large Language Model For Recommendation, Zhongzhou Liu, Hao Zhang, Kuicai Dong, Yuan Fang
Collaborative Cross-Modal Fusion With Large Language Model For Recommendation, Zhongzhou Liu, Hao Zhang, Kuicai Dong, Yuan Fang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite the success of conventional collaborative filtering (CF) approaches for recommendation systems, they exhibit limitations in leveraging semantic knowledge within the textual attributes of users and items. Recent focus on the application of large language models for recommendation (LLM4Rec) has highlighted their capability for effective semantic knowledge capture. However, these methods often overlook the collaborative signals in user behaviors. Some simply instruct-tune a language model, while others directly inject the embeddings of a CF-based model, lacking a synergistic fusion of different modalities. To address these issues, we propose a framework of Collaborative Cross-modal Fusion with Large Language Models, termed CCF-LLM, …
Joint Weakly Supervised Image Emotion Analysis Based On Interclass Discrimination And Intraclass Correlation, Xinyue Zhang, Zhaoxia Wang, Guitao Cao, Seng-Beng Ho
Joint Weakly Supervised Image Emotion Analysis Based On Interclass Discrimination And Intraclass Correlation, Xinyue Zhang, Zhaoxia Wang, Guitao Cao, Seng-Beng Ho
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Regional information-based image emotion analysis has recently garnered significant attention. However, existing methods often focus on identifying region proposals through layered steps or merely rely on visual saliency. These approaches may lead to an underestimation of emotional categories and a lack of comprehensive interclass discrimination perception and emotional intraclass contextual mining. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach named InterIntraIEA, which combines interclass discrimination and intraclass correlation joint learning capabilities for image emotion analysis. The proposed method not only employs category-specific dictionary learning for class adaptation, but also models intraclass contextual relationships and perceives correlations at the channel …

Temporal Relational Graph Convolutional Network Approach To Financial Performance Prediction, Jeyaraman Brindha Priyadarshini, Bing Tian Dai, Yuan Fang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Accurately predicting financial entity performance remains a challenge due to the dynamic nature of financial markets and vast unstructured textual data. Financial knowledge graphs (FKGs) offer a structured representation for tackling this problem by representing complex financial relationships and concepts. However, constructing a comprehensive and accurate financial knowledge graph that captures the temporal dynamics of financial entities is non-trivial. We introduce FintechKG, a comprehensive financial knowledge graph developed through a three-dimensional information extraction process that incorporates commercial entities and temporal dimensions and uses a financial concept taxonomy that ensures financial domain entity and relationship extraction. We propose a temporal and …

Do Autism Diagnostic Narratives Have A Shape? Using Sentiment Analysis To Evaluate Autism Late Diagnosis Narratives And Ai’S Attitude Towards Disability-Related Keywords, Nava Bahrampour, Katherine Elkins, Jon Chun
IPHS 200: Programming Humanity
Do autism diagnostic self-narratives have something in common? The meaning of diagnostic labels is a culturally relevant topic in 2024, and I am curious to know if there are similarities in self-narratives about autism diagnosis. We are at an interesting moment in regards to our attitudes about autism and disability, where diagnostic labels like autism are usually viewed as either a tragedy or a relief. I wanted to look at three recent autism diagnostic self-narratives from late-diagnosed women to confirm or refute the existence of a specific type of “narrative” around diagnosis. I was additionally interested in how artificial intelligence …

Cooperative Learning And The Effects On Knowledge Retention And Positive Peer Relationships, Cathy Ray
Cooperative Learning And The Effects On Knowledge Retention And Positive Peer Relationships, Cathy Ray
Master's Theses & Capstone Projects
Teachers have long utilized different classroom collaborative learning strategies such as think-pair-share, partner work, or group projects to enhance student engagement and learning. However, effective implementation remains a challenge, requiring teachers to balance collaborative efforts with individual accountability. Teachers need to balance effective group work while maintaining an expectation of individual work. This study investigates the impact of cooperative learning on knowledge retention and the development of positive peer relationships among students. Based on a literature review about the effectiveness of cooperative learning in education, research was done with two groups of fourth-grade students in a rural, public school in …
Trauma-Informed School Improvement Plan, Amy Lundell
Trauma-Informed School Improvement Plan, Amy Lundell
Master's Theses & Capstone Projects
Studies show that adopting trauma-responsive approaches in educational settings can lead to a significant decrease in behavioral problems. By responding to challenging behaviors with more empathy and support, school staff can increase their capacity to understand the “why” behind what children display. This school improvement plan will examine the cornerstones of implementing a trauma-informed practice in a K-5 elementary school. To begin with, adopting trauma-informed approaches requires a shift in the organization's culture, policies, and procedures to ensure that every aspect of the system is aligned with the principles of trauma-informed care. This will not only reduce concerning behaviors but …
