Navigating The Higher Education Transition: Focused Support For Transfer Students, Scott Yannick
Navigating The Higher Education Transition: Focused Support For Transfer Students, Scott Yannick
West Chester University Master’s Theses
Transfer students often face challenges when transitioning into a new institution. Transfer student orientation and onboarding usually consists of a broad overview that does not speak directly to individual circumstances and concerns. In this thesis, I will propose an alternative to traditional orientation programming that supports the transfer student transition through online modules that are focused on the student’s individual needs. I use Critical Action Research as my framework to address these concerns. My proposed intervention, a Transfer Student Onboarding Experience, is described and includes an examination of funding and implementation challenges. This topic is important for Student Affairs practitioners …
Mitigating Risks Of Miseducation Within Labor-Focused High-Impact Practices, Andrew Garda
Mitigating Risks Of Miseducation Within Labor-Focused High-Impact Practices, Andrew Garda
West Chester University Master’s Theses
In this thesis, I address the risks of miseducative experiences resulting from the labor-focused high-impact practices of internships and service learning/community-based learning. As high-impact practices are often considered inherently valuable, there is a need to examine these two practices under a critical action research lens in order to expose the ways in which these practices are not serving students properly. I go on to argue that issues such as unpaid internship programs taking advantage of free student labor and voluntourism existing on travel-based service learning/community-based learning programs negate the potentiality of students to experience the growth in their sense of …
Deschooling Deficit Perspectives: An Exploration Of Culture And Place For Educators, Madison Dorschutz
Deschooling Deficit Perspectives: An Exploration Of Culture And Place For Educators, Madison Dorschutz
West Chester University Master’s Theses
The purpose of this critical action research is to increase awareness of deficit perspectives that damages the academic outcomes of diverse students while offering approaches to address them. Theories of decolonialism, culturally responsive pedagogy, and place-based education will be discussed as they are able to pull back the raciallyinformed curtain of bias development. These theories come together in a 4-day series of workshops that seeks to inform educators of their damaging thinking in an effort to negate it before they enter their classrooms. Through reflection, cultural-perspective taking, and relationship building, educators can gain skills to acknowledge systems of oppression that …
The Importance Of Interdisciplinary Education, Jennifer Liegeot
The Importance Of Interdisciplinary Education, Jennifer Liegeot
West Chester University Master’s Theses
This thesis work explores the concept of Interdisciplinary Education and how it can improve the educational experience for students while also creating citizens more capable of participating in a democratic society. In order to create more well-rounded citizens, schools should provide an interdisciplinary approach to education that centers the perspectives of the those who are traditionally excluded. Much of the education curriculum today is based on a system that favors the majority leaving out entire groups of students from minority populations. As a result, schooling overwhelmingly does not help oppressed students become critically conscious citizens who are equipped to participate …
Recognizing And Addressing Mathematics Anxiety In Female Students, Amanda Sost
Recognizing And Addressing Mathematics Anxiety In Female Students, Amanda Sost
West Chester University Master’s Theses
Mathematics anxiety is a prevalent concern in the world of education. As a female mathematician myself, my own personal experiences led me to research the reasons why mathematics anxiety affects more girls than boys. Specifically this paper explores the basics of anxiety including its definition and causes. This definition provides a meaning behind discussing the authoritarian model of education and the importance behind creating a free democratic society, not only in the classroom but in the world. Specifically, the authoritarian style of pedagogy has many affects on students who are learning mathematics, which will be explored as one of the …
Realizing The Possibilities Of Notetaking Software For Academic Support: An Intervention For Academic Coaches, Paul B. Cortopassi
Realizing The Possibilities Of Notetaking Software For Academic Support: An Intervention For Academic Coaches, Paul B. Cortopassi
West Chester University Master’s Theses
College students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are a sizeable group whose qualitative experience with use of digital tools or assistive technology is not yet fully understood. This cohort of students may not know of the potential applicability of digital tool use to extend and enhance their learning. Part of why students with ADHD may not know about digital tools or assistive technology and its relevance for their learning may be due to that fact that many campus disability services programs position themselves primarily toward compliance with applicable laws. Campus disability services programs can benefit from moving beyond both …
Selling Students Short: How Market Driven School Reforms Undermine Student Learning And Our Shared Democratic Ideals., Andrew Malkasian
Selling Students Short: How Market Driven School Reforms Undermine Student Learning And Our Shared Democratic Ideals., Andrew Malkasian
West Chester University Master’s Theses
Outside influence in education is nothing new, but over the last half-century, these influences have coalesced around a single point of interest: infusing American education with principles of free-market economics. As a result, teachers are now instructing students in a fast-paced, hyper-competitive, data-driven environment where performance and quantitative outcomes are paramount. Consequently, students are no longer taught, nor encouraged, to be active participants in a democratic society but rather workers in an ever- expanding capitalist market that mandates winners and losers - a notion wholly contradictory to the spirit of education.
The purpose of this research is to indicate how …
