Circular Framing: A Model For Applying Bolman And Deal's Four Frames In Student Affairs Administration, Rishi Sriram, Jesse Hines Farley Dec 2013

Circular Framing: A Model For Applying Bolman And Deal's Four Frames In Student Affairs Administration, Rishi Sriram, Jesse Hines Farley

Rishi Sriram, Ph.D.

Administrators in student affairs navigate bureaucracies, manage staff, advocate for resources, and lead with purpose (Sermersheim & Keim, 2005). Nonetheless, scholars note research concerning student affairs management and leadership remains underemphasized in the current literature (Lovell & Kosten, 2000; Carpenter & Stimpson, 2007). Few models in student affairs exist to help translate theory to practice. Bolman and Deal’s (2013) four frames encourage leaders to view organizations through structural, human resource, political, and symbolic lenses. The four frames synthesize decades of literature on organizational theory and are frequently cited in higher education and student affairs publications. Previous scholarship, however, does not …

Rethinking Intelligence: The Role Of Mindset In Promoting Success For Academically High-Risk Students, Rishi Sriram Dec 2013

Rethinking Intelligence: The Role Of Mindset In Promoting Success For Academically High-Risk Students, Rishi Sriram

Rishi Sriram, Ph.D.

This study utilized an experimental pretest-posttest control group design to determine if changing the way academically high-risk college students view intelligence affected their academic effort and achievement when compared to students in a control intervention. Results indicated that students taught to view intelligence as malleable reported significantly higher levels of the multivariate variable academic effort and the univariate variable study skills than did the students who were directly taught study skills. No significant difference in GPA was found between the two groups. Implications for future research and current practice are discussed.

A Contemporary Examination Of Gender Differences In Student Engagement At Historically Black Colleges And Universities: Implications For Research And Practice., Robert T. Palmer, J. Luke Wood, Phd, Brian Mcgowan, Phd

Robert T. Palmer, PhD

Seeking to replicate the results of Harper et al.'s (2004), this article examined gender differences in student engagement among Black students at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). While this study yielded findings comparable to Harper et al.'s study, the majority of the findings were inconsistent with Harper et al's study. The article discusses factors that may account for these differences and concludes with implications for institutional practice and future research.

Engaging Students In Disaster Relief Training Exercises Dec 2013

Engaging Students In Disaster Relief Training Exercises

Dr. John R. Fisher

Incorporating National Incident Management System training and exercise principles into homeland security and emergency management learning can help university students develop emergency response capabilities through practical application of knowledge in simulated incidents. In addition, they gain team-building and leadership skills, establish relationships with professionals that will carry forward into their careers, and obtain confidence in their abilities to respond under pressure to simulated critical incidents. This case study describes student experience in disaster relief and humanitarian service exercises in the United States, Kosovo, and the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia. The DEAL approach to critical thinking is used to provide …

Critical Travel And Work-Mekong: Ho Chi Minh To Phnom Penh, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle Dec 2013

Critical Travel And Work-Mekong: Ho Chi Minh To Phnom Penh, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

A ‘critical travel and work’ model of travel demands an immersive, engaged, multi-sensory, approach to study and travel. A rapidly developing city provides a collapse of time and future urban conditions upon a physical location
allowing for intense investigation of the possible future of both global urban conditions and specific manifestations of place. This paper describes the University of Houston College of Architecture’s 2013 Pan Asia study abroad
program sited in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
