Designing Writers: A Self-Regulated Approach To Multimodal Composition In Teacher Preparation And Early Grades, Qi Si, Tracey S. Hodges, Vahid Mousavi Aug 2025

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 …

An Educational Intervention Focused On Identifying Adverse Childhood Experiences, Laconia Bacon Aug 2025

An Educational Intervention Focused On Identifying Adverse Childhood Experiences, Laconia Bacon

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) refer to traumatic childhood experiences that individuals may have been exposed to during their youth, such as child maltreatment, domestic violence, or interparental violence. Research has demonstrated that experiencing ACEs in childhood may result in physical and mental illnesses that led to dangerous lifestyle patterns in adulthood. In the local organization, several patients with ACEs presented in the emergency department (ED). The nurses, unaware of ACEs, were unable to detect and respond to the consequences of ACEs. Thus, the purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to determine whether an educational intervention focused …

From Company To Crown: The 1858 Government Of India Act In The British Press, Benjamin Cohen Aug 2025

From Company To Crown: The 1858 Government Of India Act In The British Press, Benjamin Cohen

Florida Atlantic Undergraduate Research Journal

In the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny and the perceived failures of the British East India Company, the British Parliament passed the 1858 Government of India Act, which liquidated the Company and placed India under direct rule by the Crown. The historiography on the Company’s end and the Raj’s beginning has not given adequate attention to the Act itself, portraying it as an uncontroversial measure used to change India’s governing body. This article addresses the controversial nature of the Act. By examining geographically and politically dispersed newspaper articles from when the Act was being considered in Parliament, this research shows …

Mock Battles: A Time And Place For Conflict, Benjamin Crawford Aug 2025

Mock Battles: A Time And Place For Conflict, Benjamin Crawford

Florida Atlantic Undergraduate Research Journal

Mock battles are a category of ritual widely recognized by cultural anthropologists, and yet the term as used stands as a wide umbrella covering an incredibly disparate range of human behaviors. Ethnographers have applied the label of “mock battle” both to events incorporating actual bodily harm—most famously, the Andean Tinku—and to non-violent theatrical performances such as the Moros dances popular throughout Spain and Mexico. To better understand the particular social functions of these rituals, I distinguish between two separate but interrelated “genres” of mock battle: the Civil War type, in which communities schedule limited outbursts of cathartic physical violence; and …
