Examining The Effects Of Firearm Lethality And Aggressors’ Intentions To Kill On Injurious Firearm Violence At American Schools: A Research Note, Brent R. Klein, Cory Schnell, Steven M. Chermak, Joshua D. Freilich

Faculty Publications

This study examined firearm lethality and aggressors’ lethal intent on injurious fatal and nonfatal school shootings using data from The American School Shooting Study, which covers 329 school shootings in the United States from 1990 to 2016. We developed a new multidimensional construct for measuring shooters’ determination to kill and examined firearm characteristics while considering confounding factors. We identified 11 distinct categories of shooters’ intent, with most showing a strong desire to kill. Both intent and weapon lethality significantly impacted school shooting homicides. Overall, we recommend that prevention and theoretical models should address both factors.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of a gait pipeline in detecting initial/final contacts using a step detection algorithm adaptive to different test settings, smartphone wear locations, and gait impairment levels. Methods: In GaitLab (ISRCTN15993728), healthy controls (HC) and people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS; Expanded Disability Status Scale 0.0-6.5) performed supervised Two-Minute Walk Test [2MWT] (structured in-lab overground and treadmill 2MWT) during two on-site visits carrying six smartphones and unsupervised …

The “Geography Of Opportunity” In Flyover Country: A College Match Case Study, Sabrina C. Gregersen, Joanna Full, Meghan Ecker-Lyster

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

In previous studies of college match, specifically undermatching and its far-reaching consequences among traditionally underserved students, students’ geographic proximity to postsecondary institutions (particularly those with which they match) has not always received much consideration. As it stands, the scholarly consensus on college match is not representative of students who live far from regions that are rich with college options of all levels. We evaluated the college match outcomes of 334 high school graduates from a public school district in the Midwest that has a relatively low concentration of colleges nearby. We categorized college match using student competitiveness based on GPA …

The Effect Of Open-Ended Worksheets In Interactive Demonstration Learning On Students’ Conceptual Understanding Of Harmonic Motion And Scientific Reasoning, Abdur Rohman Wahid Arrosyid, Sentot Kusairi, Hari Wisodo

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan

This research explores the influence of using open-ended worksheets in interactive demonstration learning on students' understanding of harmonic motion and scientific reasoning. It is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. Data were obtained from conceptual understanding and scientific reasoning tests and analyzed using parametric and non-parametric tests. The results show that open-ended worksheets enhance students' concept comprehension and scientific reasoning. There was a significant difference in conceptual understanding between the two classes. However, there was no difference in scientific reasoning. These findings hold valuable implications for improving learning with open-ended worksheets and interactive demonstration models.

Teachers’ Perception And Practices Of Learner-Centered Methods In English Language Teaching, Gashaw Shewangizaw

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan

This study explored Ethiopian Technical and Vocational Training Institute English teachers' perceptions and practices of student-centered learning. The interviews and observations results revealed positive teacher attitudes towards student-centered approaches, but classroom practices often remained teacher-centered and reliant on textbooks, disregarding student interests. Challenges included a lack of practical implementation skills, conflicting summative assessments, and the need for continuous formative feedback. Bridging the conceptual-practical divide requires practice-integrated professional development and flexible policies to support autonomy and experience- driven curricula. These findings contribute to understanding contextual realities and refining alignment with evolving workforce demands through ongoing improvement and localized responsiveness.

Staff Education On Ethical Considerations For The Implementation Of The Mental Health Triage Scale, Patrick Dioro

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

In this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project, I employed the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model to develop and deliver an educational intervention for emergency department (ED) nurses, with a specific focus on the Mental Health Triage Scale (MHTS). The practice-focused question was: In an emergency room at a mental health facility, how does staff education on the MHTS impact knowledge levels, as measured through pre- and post-education assessments? A needs assessment identified existing knowledge gaps and inconsistencies in triage practices among ED nurses. To address the problem, I developed a 4-week hybrid training program that combined …

Impression Motivations And Mental Health In Collegiate Athletes And Musicians: The Benefits Of Promoting Virtues, Mary L. Inman, Olufemi A. Oluyedun, Erin Moran, Brendyn Mroz, Madison Mccreery

Faculty Publications

This study identifies two key impression-management motivations that arise in public settings: promoting virtues and preventing harm to one’s image. We explored their impact on mental health—specifically, socially-based perfectionism and depressive symptoms. Drawing from regulatory-focus theory, we predicted promotion motivations would predict strong mental health, prevention motivations would predict poor mental health, and promotion motivations would buffer against the negative effects of prevention motivations. Collegiate athletes and musicians (N = 262) completed validated measures of impression motivation, perfectionism, and depressive symptoms. Results revealed that athletes reported lower levels of perfectionism and depressive symptoms than did musicians. Across both groups, …
