Methodology In The Natural And Social Sciences And Its Relationship To Geography, James T. Lorell May 2025

Methodology In The Natural And Social Sciences And Its Relationship To Geography, James T. Lorell

The Geographical Bulletin

Various methodologies are utilized in science in the achievement of these goals. Wellman concludes, "in the determination of cause and effect relations, scientific methods are indispensable, but there is no one scientific method which is inherently superior to others. We are gradually coming to realize that there is no one best method for all problems, but rather that research procedure calls for the finding of a blend of methods that is adapted to our particular problem "2


The Field Trip: Living Geography, Lawrence R. Handle May 2025

The Field Trip: Living Geography, Lawrence R. Handle

The Geographical Bulletin

A necessary skill of the geographer is the ability to observe and correlate in the landscape what the classroom is and is not able to teach. Fieldwork and the field trip, as carried on by the individual or a group, become the means of learning geographical concepts by direct observation of the landscape. The field trip may be of varying length, a walking tour, or a driving trip of 10 to 2,500 miles, and of varying intent and scope. It may be single-purpose, such as to study the CBD, industry, or residences; or multipurpose, to study combinations of landscape patterns, …

Supporting Students And Educators Impacted By Early Trauma In Early Childhood Education, Lauren Rice May 2025

Supporting Students And Educators Impacted By Early Trauma In Early Childhood Education, Lauren Rice

Graduate Teacher Education

Research has indicated that early childhood trauma continues to be an increasing concern for educators across the nation. In fact, “early childhood trauma is a mounting public health concern, as approximately twenty-five percent of children in the United States either witness or experience a traumatic event before the age of four years” (Razza, 2019, p. 82). As the number of students impacted by trauma has increased, there was a need for an increase in teacher resources and training to support educators in the classroom (Brunzell et al., 2016).


Supporting Higher Level Mental Skills In Early Childhood Education, Paul J. Johnaon May 2025

Supporting Higher Level Mental Skills In Early Childhood Education, Paul J. Johnaon

Graduate Teacher Education

The early childhood years established a critical developmental period during which foundational cognitive, social, and emotional skills were cultivated (Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, 2011). Research highlighted the significant role of experiences during this stage of life in shaping children's readiness for school and long-term academic, social, and emotional outcomes (Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, 2011). Among these foundational skills, executive function (EF) and self-regulation (SR) were recognized as essential for enabling goal-oriented behavior, emotional management, and problem-solving (Morgan et al., 2016).

Translanguaging Pedagogy For Multilingual Learners, Natalie C. Van Der Wal May 2025

Translanguaging Pedagogy For Multilingual Learners, Natalie C. Van Der Wal

Graduate Teacher Education

With the rich diversity of cultures and languages present in bilingual education, translanguaging is instructional practice that allows for students to leverage their linguistic abilities to enrich their content and language learning. Through qualitative and quantitative research, translanguaging pedagogy is demonstrated as an effective instruction method for MLLs in dual-language bilingual education. Educators better served MLLs by examining language ideologies of bilingualism, establishing a strong foundation for critical consciousness, allowing for multilingual students to use their ‘funds of knowledge’ in their learning, and creating a critical translanguaging space in the classroom learners (Hamman-Ortiz, 2024; Lang & Garcia, 2024; Navarro Martell, …

Stories Of The Silenced And Mixed Media In Fiction: Disrupting Tradition For The Enhancement Of Reader Experience, Rylanne Burdette May 2025

Stories Of The Silenced And Mixed Media In Fiction: Disrupting Tradition For The Enhancement Of Reader Experience, Rylanne Burdette

English Creative Writing Theses

In almost all crimes, there is a victim, a perpetrator, and someone trying to uncover the truth. These tropes are often highlighted in fiction – told in thrillers, mysteries, or true-crime books that include intense themes, suspenseful moments, and plot twists. Stories of the Silenced is a collection of short stories told from the perspective of three characters in an exploration of cycles of violence and silence. Each character – a detective, victim, and serial killer – responds to and engages with the world differently, and their individual lives are shared. Each story emphasizes the idea of mixed media to …

Strategies For Multilingual Student Success In The Classroom, Irene Hvidhyld

Graduate Teacher Education

This paper analyzed current research on the effective instructional strategies used for multilingual learners to be successful in the mainstream classroom. Each year in the United States, there is a growing number of multilingual students in the mainstream classroom (Cunningham & Crawford, 2016). Students whom with the lack of knowledge of impactful strategies are not reaching their full potential and can be looked at as students with greater needs, such as a learning disability (Naiditch, 2021). This paper explored the inherent need for educators to be provided with the appropriate tools and knowledge to make education more accessible for multilingual …


Impact Of Implementing An Updated Cervical Cancer Screening Protocol In The Primary Care Setting, Teri A. Koch May 2025

Impact Of Implementing An Updated Cervical Cancer Screening Protocol In The Primary Care Setting, Teri A. Koch

Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports

Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women globally. Current screening methods by clinicians include cytology sampling, high-risk human papillomavirus sampling, or co-testing with both methods. These tests may detect cell changes before they become cancerous, yet the uptake of these methods has decreased in recent years (Aginga, 2022; Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2023; Popalis et al., 2022; Sung et al., 2021). The primary purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to determine if the implementation of an updated cervical screening protocol improved the linkage of abnormal results to appropriate clinical follow-up …


Effectively Preparing Preservice Mainstream Teachers For Teaching Multilingual Learners, Gail R. Olson May 2025

Effectively Preparing Preservice Mainstream Teachers For Teaching Multilingual Learners, Gail R. Olson

Graduate Teacher Education

This paper investigated research-based curricular components for increasing the preparedness of preservice mainstream teachers (PSMTs) to teach multilingual learners (MLs). An increase in MLs in classrooms across the United States and changes in models for delivering English language development services have resulted in the growing need for general education teachers to be proficient in meeting the unique language needs of MLs while also delivering content-area instruction. PSMTs have been historically unprepared to adequately teach MLs within general education or content-area classes (Christison, 2023; Deng & Hayden, 2021; Lavery et al., 2019; Mahalingappa et al., 2018; Prasad & Heidt, 2023). To …


Disciplinary Literacy In Preschool Classrooms, Mckenna Beam May 2025

Disciplinary Literacy In Preschool Classrooms, Mckenna Beam

Graduate Teacher Education

The research questioned the potential impact disciplinary literacy may have on academic growth in early childhood classrooms and considered how preschool teachers can implement developmentally appropriate practices focusing on disciplinary literacy to support academic readiness skills. Schools emphasize a need for early intervention in the math and literacy domains to combat the academic achievement gap, but Chapin (2006) recognized a need for early intervention in the science and social studies domains as well. With this knowledge in mind, specific developmentally appropriate methods for integrating science, social studies, music, and art instruction in preschool classrooms were highlighted. Systemic methods of implementing …

Question: Can AI-extracted interpretable built environment features predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in a national veteran population? Findings: In this cohort study of 770,990 U.S. veterans, seven built environment features were significantly associated with an increased risk of MACE. Two features, old/dilapidated buildings and visible wire, were associated with a decreased risk. Greenery was only linked to increased risk in higher social deprivation index quartiles. Meaning: Built environment features can serve as predictors of MACE, highlighting the potential role of neighborhood characteristics in cardiovascular risk stratification beyond traditional factors. Importance: The relationship between built environment features and major adverse …

Shepherds Of Loss: Religion And Grief In The Shenandoah Valley, Ewan Benjamin May 2025

Shepherds Of Loss: Religion And Grief In The Shenandoah Valley, Ewan Benjamin

Honors Projects

This study explores the relationship between faith leaders and religious communities with the human experience of grief, death, and loss. Inspired by the researcher's own experience, this paper argues that the United States has a generally uncomfortable relationship with death and hypothesizes that religious traditions can serve to assist with grief in a positive way. After interviewing six religious leaders in the Shenandoah Valley, two themes arose: the mystery of death and the concept of "making space" for the grieving, dying, and dead. In the paper's conclusion, the faith leaders make known their own concerns with death in the United …

Public And Private Police And Their Impact On Crime: Evidence From American Universities, Cruz K. Marquis May 2025

Public And Private Police And Their Impact On Crime: Evidence From American Universities, Cruz K. Marquis

Honors Capstones

This study quantitatively assesses the effect of fully deputized private police (FDPP) on nine measures of crime on 770 American university campuses over thirteen years. Building on the analysis of FDPP found in Stringham (2015), this study offers a public choice analysis of the incentives resulting from private ownership, positing that officers serving in such systems face systemically different incentives than their public counterparts, leading to a more vigilant and consumer-focused security posture. This increases the likelihood that criminals will be apprehended, which thereby reduces the expected utility of criminality, leading to fewer such instances. By building a unique dataset …
