General Education Program Revision, Carissa Schultz, Mandy Galli, Robyn Elder
2023 Student Academic Showcase
A general education program is meant to create a foundation of exploratory learning. Professor Melissa Qualls and the GE Task Force are recruiting student and faculty perspectives to develop a more meaningful General Education Program. Lindenwood University introduced Graduate Attributes in the Fall of 2021 with the intention of implementing them into a new General Education Program to better student development. The goal of Lindenwood University’s General Education Program is to produce successful students who are adaptable problem solvers, lifelong learners, effective communicators, analytical thinkers, responsible citizens, ethical decision makers, and global advocates. The Student Assessment Scholars sought student perspectives …

Lindenwood General Biology-Measuring Achievement And Progression In Science (Genbio-Maps), Diego De Gregorio, Madilyn Waters, Robyne Elder
2023 Student Academic Showcase
The General Biology-Measuring Achievement and Progression in Science (GenBio-MAPS) serves as a tool for monitoring and directing departmental progress by assessing student comprehension throughout the duration of undergraduate biology programs (Couch et al., 2019). According to the Vision and Change national report, a biology student should have a firm grasp of the concepts of (1) evolution, (2) structure and function, (3) information flow, exchange, and storage, (4) pathways and transformations of energy and matter, and (5) systems (Aguirre et al., 2013). In turn, the Biological Sciences department at Lindenwood University implemented ways to evaluate how well they are imparting the …

Auditory Temporal Sampling Activation And Phonological Awareness, Julie Bowman, Rebecca Panagos
2023 Student Academic Showcase
The purpose of this project is to validate how 1) Dennison’s Brain Gym movements activate 2) Temporal Sampling Framework (TSF) and phonology 3) increased academic fluency. Students aged 5-12 from three different SES groups—1600 per group—are from St Louis districts. Groups include 1) students with learning differences/average or gifted IQ. 2) Control groups have students without learning differences/average IQ 3) and students without learning differences/gifted IQ. Testing occurs outside school hours in a homework help center with occupational therapy (i.e. homework/movement), speech and language services (i.e. homework/audiology). We hope to find improved academic scores expected after Brain Gym movements and …

Sister Circle, Raychelle Martin, Sarah M. Patterson-Mills
2023 Student Academic Showcase
This paper describes a six-session small-group intervention with a targeted group of African-American 11th-grade girls who attend high school in an affluent suburban district. The sessions were designed to enhance students' confidence in building positive relationships with teachers by using coping and negotiation skills. The group session topics are described, and outcomes are assessed. Challenges unique to the group setting and in implementation are addressed. Group work has been recognized as a particularly relevant intervention for African-American youth. The small group format allows the facilitator to more easily connect with the participants and tailor topics to the specific needs of …
The Relationship Between Social Support And Distress Following Perinatal Loss, Nicole Smith, Caitlin Matsche, Denise Fattic, Agata Freedle
The Relationship Between Social Support And Distress Following Perinatal Loss, Nicole Smith, Caitlin Matsche, Denise Fattic, Agata Freedle
2023 Student Academic Showcase
Perinatal loss can be a traumatic event associated with high levels of distress and potentially PTSD (Berry, 2022). Strong social support is crucial in trauma recovery, though it is often counterproductive following perinatal loss (Meyer, 2016). Recent quantitative research done by Dr. Agata Freedle has shown that lack of adequate, culturally sensitive social support can contribute to elevated levels of PTSD. The specific experiences of perinatally bereaved women have not been captured in this data. Further exploration of this relationship to include the lived experiences of women is needed. The purpose of this study is to qualitatively explore how women …
