Responding To The Challenges Of Teaching High School Journalism, Emily Houk, Robin Leavitt, Faculty Advisor
Responding To The Challenges Of Teaching High School Journalism, Emily Houk, Robin Leavitt, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
In this inquiry, I address the challenges of teaching high school journalism classes in which the students vary in prior knowledge of and experience with journalism, as well as in age and academic ability. The heterogeneity of the students and the variety of tasks that are involved in publication create an environment that poses certain challenges for the teacher/adviser in terms of effectively individualizing instruction with the common class goal of producing the newspaper. During student teaching, I implemented and examined different pedagogical strategies in exploring how to help students meet learning goals specific to each level of the course. …

Adolescent Attitudes Toward Literature, Anne Marie Casa, Robin Leavitt, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The purpose of this study was to gather information about what adolescent students like to read and why. Participants included grade nine students enrolled in a Literature and Composition course. Data collected included reading logs written by the students, notes about class discussions, and recorded conversations with students about reading and reading material. The results revealed students' interests regarding the books that they enjoy reading. Findings also revealed how students related to and understood texts required by the school. While most students enjoyed reading a book of their own choice, they indicated that they struggled with and did not particularly …

Integrating Cooperative Learning In The Classroom, Natalie Boesche, Chelsea Wallis, Robin Leavitt, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
This inquiry is a collaborative study of the benefits of integrating cooperative learning into the classroom. Specifically, we attempt to answer the following questions: 1) How can we effectively integrate cooperative learning into the classroom? 2) In what ways will cooperative learning benefit the students in our classroom? In our inquiry, we discuss the three types of cooperative learning: partner work, group work, and whole class collaboration, which we implemented in the classroom. We used lesson, plans, field notes, reflections, photographs, student work, and literature to support our inquiry. We analyzed our data to determine the benefits as well as …
Ways To Integrate Science Into The Language Arts Curriculum, Jenny Zyks, Robin Leavitt, Faculty Advisor
Ways To Integrate Science Into The Language Arts Curriculum, Jenny Zyks, Robin Leavitt, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
In this inquiry I sought to answer the question: How can I effectively integrate science into the language arts curriculum? I planned and implemented lessons that combined science, reading and writing while student teaching in a second grade classroom. I combined all three of those subjects through a variety of different activities and lessons. Data collection included lesson plans, writing activities that I created, and written reflections on the effectiveness of the lessons. In this final report, I analyze the extent to which the integrated instruction I implemented was effective, and the significant factors contributing to more or less effective …

The Art Of Integrating The Arts: An Examination Of Integrating The Fine Arts Into Reading And Writing Instruction, Christine Szukalla, Robin Leavitt, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
This inquiry was motivated by my student teaching experiences during which I integrated the arts into the curriculum on a daily basis. The following questions were explored: 1) What does art integration look like in a third grade classroom? 2) How can I incorporate the arts into the teaching of all curricular areas? 3) How can the arts be used to promote literacy in the classroom? I adopted a self-study model of inquity, supplemented by lesson plans, student work, video tapes of my lessons, and field notes. My self-study involved developing and teaching a series of lessons focused on art …
The Impact Of Motivation In The High School Spanish Classroom, Gina Manson, Leah Nillas, Facutly Advisor
The Impact Of Motivation In The High School Spanish Classroom, Gina Manson, Leah Nillas, Facutly Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The motivation, or driving force, for which a student studies Spanish may vary greatly within high school Spanish students. Just as Domyei (2003) investigated how to initially motivate students, and then how to maintain student motivation for learning a foreign language, I studied how I could help motivate intrinsically unmotivated students. The purpose of this research is to identify students' various motivations for learning Spanish and the implications of these motivations on their learning and performance. This research was conducted in a Spanish 4 classroom setting in a local high school. Using a survey, I asked student participants to reflect …
