The Impact Of Nonviolent Communication In An Early Childhood Montessori Environment, Amanda Britt Hadsall Jakowich
Masters of Arts in Education Action Research Papers
The researcher examined how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) incorporated into a Montessori primary classroom would impact student’s social-emotional learning. The students participating in this research came from multiple ethnic groups and nine were non-English speakers. Some showed evidence of trauma that resulted from living in home environments that experienced instability. The researcher modeled NVC communication in her interactions with students whenever possible and then observed and documented their reactions and behaviors during lessons on social skills in 15-minute intervals over 3 weeks. She observed students engaged in describing their feelings and concluded that NVC can be effective with consistency and guidance …

High-Fidelity Simulation And Clinical Judgment Of Nursing Students In A Maternal-Newborn Course, Carol Reid, Jody L. Ralph, Maher El-Masri, Katrice Ziefle
High-Fidelity Simulation And Clinical Judgment Of Nursing Students In A Maternal-Newborn Course, Carol Reid, Jody L. Ralph, Maher El-Masri, Katrice Ziefle
Nursing Faculty Scholarship
Clinical judgment, one’s ability to think like a nurse, is an essential skill for safe nursing practice. With the rise of simulation to replace clinical experiences, there is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness of simulation on the development of clinical judgment. This study explored differences in clinical judgment in maternal–newborn courses between undergraduate nursing students participating exclusively in simulation and those participating in hospital-based clinical experiences. Following completion of the clinical rotation, students participated in an evaluative maternal–newborn high-fidelity simulation experience that was recorded and evaluated using the Lasater’s Clinical Judgment Rubric (2007). Lasater’s Clinical Judgment Rubric scores between the …

Hermaphrodites In Undergraduate Biology Education: Broadening Horizons In First- And Second-Year Courses, Cynthia Norton
Biology Faculty Scholarship
With so much public discussion of gender issues in the US, it is important to introduce students to the breadth of reproductive expressions in the biological world early in their university education. I do this in two ways: first by centering a first-year research project on the reproduction of hermaphroditic snails, and second by focusing a second-year writing seminar on “Varieties of Animal Reproduction.” The laboratory component of our Foundations of Biology I course is a semester-long investigation where students are guided through the process of scientific research. With support from instructors, each team frames a question, writes a proposal, …

Fashion Design and Merchandising Faculty Scholarship
This ensemble was created as a deep dive into 18th-century women’s apparel construction and shaping. Using extent pattern reproductions from the Victoria and Albert Museum Collection as a base, this was a project built up from the inner chemise undergarment, stays, bum roll, boned petticoat, linen shirt, wool waistcoat, wool petticoat and ending with the riding jacket. Using a combination of two pattern companies, Reconstructing History (2006), and J. P. Ryan (2016), and period correct materials, where possible, the ensemble was created to inform my students about how apparel would be created and fit in the mid-18th century. Students value …
