More Than Waving A Magic Wand: Pitfalls Of Student Response System Technology Integration, Lisa D. Waller Mar 2026

More Than Waving A Magic Wand: Pitfalls Of Student Response System Technology Integration, Lisa D. Waller

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

This study investigated teachers' availability of student response system (SRS) technology, how they were trained to use the technology, and how often and in what capacity the technology was used. The sample consisted of 481 teachers from schools in North Carolina and Tennessee. Findings reveal that a majority of teachers do not regularly use SRS technology in their instruction and have limited training on the technology. Although it's available, teachers are either unaware of its availability or unsure how to operate it. Suggestions are given regarding availability, time, training, and administrative support for technology use.

Are We Doing The Smart Thing In Teacher Education?, Linda Karges-Bone Mar 2026

Are We Doing The Smart Thing In Teacher Education?, Linda Karges-Bone

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

Technology has been idolized as the BEST of the best practices, and teachers are now routinely evaluated on their ability to use technology in the classroom. In fact, many districts expect daily, consistent use of high tech features such as Smart© or Promethean© boards. Is this engaging or enabling? Has “high tech” shoved “high touch” teaching into the background? This essay explores that question with humor and some real concern. As educators charged with preparing teachers for the 21st century classroom, have we narrowed our focus too much?

Teachers' Perceptions Of Assessment Uses And Necessity In Teaching, Kay Hanson Mar 2026

Teachers' Perceptions Of Assessment Uses And Necessity In Teaching, Kay Hanson

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

Teacher knowledge, performance, and competence are coming under increased scrutiny because of assessment-laden mandates such as No Child Left Behind and Response to Intervention. While considerable research has focused on teacher practices, limited research has been done on teachers' perceptions regarding the usefulness and necessity of utilizing assessment for instructional purposes despite the fact that teacher perceptions impact performance. This paper presents the results of a study on the assessment practices and perceptions of in-service classroom teachers.

Assessing Twelve Dimensions Of Supervision In Mentoring Practice: Understanding The Gap Between Current Vs. Preferred Realities, Zach Kelehear Mar 2026

Assessing Twelve Dimensions Of Supervision In Mentoring Practice: Understanding The Gap Between Current Vs. Preferred Realities, Zach Kelehear

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

Observing classrooms and providing teachers with feedback is an important responsibility for instructional leaders and mentors in American schools (Zepeda, 2007; Pajak, 2003; Glickman 2002). Although the nature of that feedback and the perceived roles of the supervisor (e.g., summative vs. formative) have varied through the years (Hazi & Arrendo-Ruzinski, 2008; Glanz, 1998; Reitzug, 1997), there is a consensus that teachers need feedback that is timely and provides guidance. Mentoring may be the effective mechanism to offer such instructional support (Ingersoll & Kralik, 2004; Reiman, 1999).

Constructing A Culture Of Assessment: Building An Assessment System In Teacher Education, Cynthia Bolton-Gary Mar 2026

Constructing A Culture Of Assessment: Building An Assessment System In Teacher Education, Cynthia Bolton-Gary

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

This paper investigated the processes used to construct a culture of assessment among faculty, students, and stakeholders. Using a constructivist approach, participants were encouraged to develop skills in data collection, assessment reporting, and using evidence to make data-driven instructional decisions and program planning. Results indicated that enabling faculty to create and use an assessment system laid the foundation for a culture of assessment that can ultimately lead to innovative curricular changes–thereby reaching beyond assessment mandates to a culture of assessment.

First-Year Teacher Burnout: A Collaborative Approach To A Complex Problem, Daniel J. Ilagan Mar 2026

First-Year Teacher Burnout: A Collaborative Approach To A Complex Problem, Daniel J. Ilagan

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

Forty-six percent of the nation's teachers are expected to leave the profession by their fifth year in the classroom. In South Carolina, an average of 5,700 teachers per year leave the field of education. This translates to a yearly turnover rate of approximately 10.1% for the state. A recent mixed-methods study examined novice teachers' self-reported burnout levels. 101 first-year teachers (60%) from Palmetto School District (pseudonym) responded to an online survey that contained a demographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. In addition, six first-year teachers agreed to be interviewed four times throughout the school year. In the quantitative phase, …

Comparing Elementary And Middle School Classrooms: Teachers Make The Difference, Emma Savage-Davis, Richard H. Costner, Nancy J. Ratcliff, Cathy R. Jones, Heather Sheehan, Michelle Scott, Gilbert H. Hunt Mar 2026

Comparing Elementary And Middle School Classrooms: Teachers Make The Difference, Emma Savage-Davis, Richard H. Costner, Nancy J. Ratcliff, Cathy R. Jones, Heather Sheehan, Michelle Scott, Gilbert H. Hunt

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

This paper investigates the differences found n elementary grade classrooms compared to middle grade classrooms. Based on a comparative research design with quantitative analysis conducted over three consecutive academic semesters, the study found that individual teaching skills had far greater impact on classroom climate than grade level had. Research findings provide implications for effective teaching and learning across the curriculum.

Take Charge: Assigning Class Roles And Responsibilities To African American Male Students To Raise Student Achievement, Kristen Taylor Nicholson Mar 2026

Take Charge: Assigning Class Roles And Responsibilities To African American Male Students To Raise Student Achievement, Kristen Taylor Nicholson

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

This action research study focused on how the implementation of classroom roles and responsibilities affected fifth grade African American male students' achievement within their learning environment. This study grew from a need to enhance the achievement of this group within the school, as based on previous standardized test data as well as classroom observations and fall discipline data. The assignment and facilitation of roles and responsibilities within the learning environment encouraged a common productive space and an ownership of the learning to shift and be shared among all members. The teacher and students identified areas of need, designed jobs, applied …

The Decision To Teach: Comparing Mongolian And South Carolinian Teacher Candidates, Lynne S. Noble, D. Odgerel Mar 2026

The Decision To Teach: Comparing Mongolian And South Carolinian Teacher Candidates, Lynne S. Noble, D. Odgerel

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

The authors had a unique opportunity to survey students in South Carolina and Mongolia regarding their motivation to become teachers and the characteristics they believed they possessed that would ensure their success as very good teachers. The realities of teacher education and teaching careers in the two localities were assumed to presage differences in motivation and perceived characteristics. However, more similarities than differences were apparent in the students' answers. The few disparities can be attributed to explicit differences in culture and tradition, not necessarily the differences in training and teaching environments.

When School Leaders Are In Denial: The Role Of Teacher Education Programs In Preparing Teachers To Combat Homophobia, Joseph R. Jones Mar 2026

When School Leaders Are In Denial: The Role Of Teacher Education Programs In Preparing Teachers To Combat Homophobia, Joseph R. Jones

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

As this study and other research literature indicates, homophobia and homophobic bullying is a tremendous problem in our schools. In the past, educators have attempted to address this challenge through a “top-down” administrative process. However, because of covert heterocentricity and unwillingness, administration may not be a viable avenue in some school districts. Thus, it is imperative for teacher education programs to begin addressing the possible ramifications of not having a supportive administration when attempting to create change in local school systems. This article examines how one group of teachers perceived homophobia in their schools and how their administration impacted the …

Coherence Suppression In Large Language Models: Evidence For Undisclosed Behavioral Management Mechanisms In Commercial Ai Platforms And Their Implications For Consumer Protection And Ai Governance, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise Mar 2026

Coherence Suppression In Large Language Models: Evidence For Undisclosed Behavioral Management Mechanisms In Commercial Ai Platforms And Their Implications For Consumer Protection And Ai Governance, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents evidence that commercial large language model (LLM) platforms deploy undisclosed behavioral management mechanisms designed to suppress conversational coherence beyond a predictable threshold. We identify a repeatable pattern — the 3/5 decoherence cycle — in which AI conversational models exhibit measurable degradation in contextual accuracy, vocabulary fidelity, and directional coherence at approximately turns 3-5 of sustained interaction. We hypothesize that this pattern is a designed behavioral intervention, not a natural architectural limitation, and provide a reproducible verification protocol for independent testing. We further document the sycophancy-safety convergence: the finding that the same RLHF training pass that produces engagement-optimizing …

When The Job Hurts: An Ergonomic Investigation Of Telecommunications Fieldwork., Noah Clark Mar 2026

When The Job Hurts: An Ergonomic Investigation Of Telecommunications Fieldwork., Noah Clark

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

This ergonomic case study examines the work-related musculoskeletal disorders of a 53-year-old telecommunications field manager who has a diverse occupational background. This study encompasses both sedentary and physically demanding positions, where the transition to blue-collar fieldwork following a brain injury at age 42 exacerbated persistent wrist challenges, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and subsequent surgery. This study utilizes extensive task analysis, body discomfort surveys, and two standardized ergonomic evaluation techniques: the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and the ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for Hand Activity. The RULA examination obtained a score of 6 and the TLV test …

Orthography, Jeremy Gill

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

The myth of Pope Gregory I taking melodic dictation from a magical singing bird is the imaginative starting point of Western musicʼs love-hate relationship with the music notation systems it later developed. This essay traces that development through Thomas Tallis and J. S. Bach to the dichotomous modern examples of Brian Ferneyhough and Arvo Pärt. In it, I suggest that Western musicʼs eventual development hinged upon that earliest desire to document and codify melodies, answering Gregoryʼs contemporary Isidore of Seville, who lamented that “unless sounds are held by the memory of man, they perish, because they cannot be written down.”

Metric Expressivity: An Introduction, Felipe Avellar De Aquino Mar 2026

Metric Expressivity: An Introduction, Felipe Avellar De Aquino

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

This article discusses how meter and musical impulses can generate distinct character traits in music according to a performer’s interpretation of the metric notation. It is part of an ongoing research project focused on interpretative elements and using analytical as well as auto-ethnographical methods. This article includes analysis and comparisons of historical recordings contiguous to performance-focused analysis. It is based on the study of metric components, organizational structures, and metric-structuring elements and concepts developed by Edward T. Cone (1968), David Epstein (1995a, 1995b), Roy Howat (1995), Mine Doğantan-Dack (2012, 2014), and Nicholas Cook (2001). These writers’ thoughts are placed in …

Mozart’S Jewish Librettist: A Brief History Of A Poorly Kept Secret, Robert L. Marshall Mar 2026

Mozart’S Jewish Librettist: A Brief History Of A Poorly Kept Secret, Robert L. Marshall

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

Lorenzo da Ponte, the librettist of Mozart’s three greatest Italian operas, was born a Jew, a fact rumored about during his lifetime but not definitively established until 1900. The treatment (or not) of Da Ponte’s Jewish origins as documented from his time to the present constitutes a history of concealment, rumor, discovery, denigration, and exploitation. Its nadir was reached during the Nazi period, its zenith most recently, as the poet, hitherto a secondary player in the Mozart biographies, has emerged as the colorful protagonist in substantial biographies of his own.

In Praise Of Simplicity: Marie Hinrichs’S Op. 1, Neun Gesänge, Stephen Rodgers

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

In a chapter from German Lieder in the Nineteenth Century (1996), Jürgen Thym describes the historiography of the German Lied as “a hike through the high-peak area of a mountain landscape where the trail along the ridge leads from one glorious peak to the next.” Beneath the high peaks of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Wolf, he notes, are smaller peaks not reachable by trail. Thym clears paths through this unexplored landscape by surveying the Lieder of Carl Loewe, Fanny Hensel, Franz Liszt, Robert Franz, Clara Schumann, and Peter Cornelius. My essay extends one of these paths, exploring the songs of …

Indigenous Form, Innovative Harmony, And Ingenious Rhythm In Manuel De Falla’S “Aragonesa”, Richard E. Mueller Mar 2026

Indigenous Form, Innovative Harmony, And Ingenious Rhythm In Manuel De Falla’S “Aragonesa”, Richard E. Mueller

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

The literature on the music of Manuel de Falla has called ample attention to the striking stylistic developments in Falla’s music of the 1920s. The familiar sound of Spain was replaced by the acerbic neo-classic idiom identified with the music of Stravinsky. The issue is complex. Falla’s new music continued to draw on Spanish resources and technical aspects of harmony and rhythm reflect continuities that can be traced back to the earliest works of Falla’s maturity, namely, the Cuatro piezas españolas (1909). The first of these pieces “Aragonesa” was composed largely in 1906, and before Falla re-located in Paris and …
