Exploring Bem’S Self Perception Theory In Educational Context, Laila Mohebi, Fatima Bailey

All Works

© 2020 Laila Mohebi, Fatima Bailey. This study offers a synthesis of critical elements of Bem´s self-perception theory in an educational context. Ultimately people understand their beliefs, attitudes and perceptions by understanding their own behaviour and the circumstances behind it. Thus, Bem’s theory is integral in gaining a better understanding of pre-service teachers’ perceptions regarding their TPACK (Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge) dispositions and capabilities. This study explores various experiments. It highlights applications of the theory to the field of education and field experience. It provides a comparative analysis of cognitive dissonance theory and self-perception theory, as both are valuable …

The Use Of A Digital Question Board To Facilitate Student Questioning And Engagement In Large Lecture Classes: A Mixed-Methods Study, Lili Zhang

Dissertations - ALL

A lack of student questioning and engagement is faced by many universities, where a large lecture is a common practice. Emerging technologies bring about possibilities to fill this gap. This study applied constructivist learning theories and used a digital canvas as a Digital Question Board (DQB) for students to freely pose questions and respond using mobile technology. A mixed-methods study with a quasi-experiment was conducted to investigate the following research questions (RQs): (1) Do students demonstrate different questioning behaviors when provided access to a DQB from those students who are not provided with access to a DQB in large lecture …

Teachers’ Perceptions Of Evaluation Feedback Conferences: A Mixed Methods Study, Danielle R. Brain

Dissertations - ALL

Teacher performance evaluations can serve two purposes: summative/accountability and formative/professional development. The current perception in the field is that performance evaluation systems predominantly focus on fulfilling a summative agenda over formative, which blurs the lines between the two purposes of evaluation (Popham, 2013). As a result, how evaluators and teachers react to evaluation ratings creates a disconnection between the summative and formative purposes and creates critical tensions between personnel being evaluated and evaluation systems. When this tension is felt, teachers and some evaluators feel that evaluation ratings cannot be used effectively for either purpose.A way to lessen the tension would …

Examining Intentions To Seek Counseling Amongst African American Male College Students, Jordan P. Shannon

Dissertations - ALL

The roles of public stigma, self-stigma and mental health literacy have been found to be influential to the help-seeking process of college students. However, their particular influence has yet to be explored with African American male college students (AAMCS). The purpose of this dissertation is to explore whether public stigma, self-stigma and mental health literacy will significantly predict intentions to seek counseling amongst AAMCS. Research identifying factors for help-seeking amongst AAMCS have largely considered variables such as racial identity, self-concealment, cultural mistrust, Afrocentric values, and African Self-Consciousness. Whereas scholars perceive the help-seeking process of AAMCS with some salience to cultural …

Mindful Inquiry - A Deweyan Assessment Of Mindfulness And Education, David John Wolken

Dissertations - ALL

Mindfulness-based interventions are becoming an increasingly popular means for helpingstudents deal with the multidimensional challenges they face in contemporary educational settings. While potentially helpful, an uncritical employment of mindfulness in education can paradoxically function to reify the very neoliberal social conditions leading to the need for mindfulness in the first place. I assess this trend in educational theory and practice through John Dewey’s pragmatic philosophy. I show that the potential for both mindfulness and Dewey’s theory of mind and inquiry to support critical, sustainable social change is truncated by an uncritical retaining of the modern paradigm of mind that defines …

Dissertations - ALL

As a visual arts educator, I understand the unique opportunities students have to learn by making, inventing, and creating, to communicate their ideas. The work of the New London Group (2000), the more recent National Core Arts Standards and the National Core Media Arts Standards (2014) and the New York Arts & Media Arts Standards (2017) have significantly influenced this study by reinforcing both the necessity and potential to both art and media arts teaching practices in developing greater applications for multimodal literacy theory, defined by the National Council of the Teachers of English as “Integration of multiple modes of …

What A Difference A Decade Makes. The Evolving Gender Gap In Students’ Goal Endorsement And Stem Career Choice, Chen Chen, Gerhard Sonnert, Philip M. Sadler

Journal of Sustainable Social Impact

Two national datasets of first-year college students, collected a decade apart, asking the same questions about career interests and life goal endorsement, allowed us to investigate the extent to which the life goals and career interests had converged among young men and women. We compared the gender differences in four types of goal endorsement (communal, material, intellectual, and free-time goals) by career interest groups (science, engineering, medicine, health, and other professions) between the two cohorts (2007 vs. 2017). Conversely, we compared the gender differences in career interests by goal endorsement between the two cohorts. Our specific focus was on science, …

Developing Cognitive Flexibility And Project Management Judgment: Using Online Progressive Cases To Introduce Realistic And Unexpected Challenges, Lina Souid

Dissertations - ALL

A project is a finite activity aimed at producing a tangible product or service. Designing and developing instruction is a type of project. Instructional design projects (design projects) require instructional designers (IDs) to manage multiple and often overlapping work tasks, balance the triple constraint (time, budget, and quality), and react to project changes. Thus, project management (PM) is a critical aspect of instructional designer competencies.

Traditionally, professional development (PD) involves the use of cases that present a complex, realistic problem for learners to discuss. Most of these cases are static; the problem does not change during the learning process. Static …

A Phenomenological Investigation Of The Lived Experiences Of Workplace Burnout, Wellness, And Resilience In Independently Licensed Private Practice Counselors Who Operate Their Own Practice While Maintaining A Caseload Of Clients, Sara Lynne Thaxton

Dissertations - ALL

Private practice counselors who own their practice are unique from agency practitioners in that they function as both counselor and business owner. Therefore, these counselors must work to find a balance between the human aspects of practicing and the logistical business components of owning and operating a practice. The combination of these two roles can pose unique threats to a private practice counselor’s wellness and how they experience of burnout and resilience - which may differ from agency counterparts. Although resilience and burnout experiences and practices in agency and community counselors are prevalent in the literature, there is a lack …

Assessing Grit And Conscientiousness To Predict Medical Student Success On The National Usmle Step 2 Clinical Knowledge Exam, Jennifer C. Welch

Dissertations - ALL

In an effort to consider additional or alternative variables that predict medical school success and to better identify qualified and more diverse medical school candidates to serve their communities, this study investigated the impact of two noncognitive traits, conscientiousness and grit, on the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) national examination. The assessment used to measure conscientiousness was Costa and McCrae’s (1992) NEO-FFI-3 and the assessment used to measure grit was Duckworth and Quinn’s (2009) Grit S scale. This study also examined the correlation of sociodemographic (gender, age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic background, and first-generation college status) …

Defining Inclusionary Practices In Catholic Schools, Sean J. Smith, G Cheatham, Jennifer M. Amilivia

Journal of Catholic Education

The purpose of this article is to provide Catholic educators, administrators, families, and broader parish communities an understanding of critical elements required to effectively include all students, particularly those with disabilities, in Catholic schools. With an understanding that Catholic schools enroll and will continue to add not only students with disabilities, but also other students who may struggle with learning in some manner, the Catholic school community needs to keep abreast of effective practices that facilitate meaningful inclusion. This is especially relevant for those Catholic families who desire a Catholic education for their children with disabilities, as well as their …

Effects Of Student Leadership In A Peer-To-Peer Programme On Resiliency, Self-Efficacy And Motivation Of Undergraduate Students In A Private University, Christine Wong Siew Kuan

Student Works (2020-2029)

An ongoing concern amongst students in higher education is the ability to do well and succeed academically. One of the main factors in addressing that concern is ensuring a smooth and positive transition for students from high school entering university. Hence, the first-year experience in higher education institution for these students is crucial to help them to manage and cope with the new environment. Peer learning programmes have been proven to help students succeed academically especially for the first-year students. In building that momentum for ultimate academic success, it is also important to note that students need to build their …
