Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

Higher education is undergoing great changes that require universities to adapt quickly, and making these changes can be difficult. One discipline that can aid in executing change is project management, which has developed a set of clear processes and strategies for completing initiatives quickly and effectively. Several authors have identified project management competencies as key in the practice of instructional design. However, in our experience it can be difficult to operationalize project management, particularly in instructional design projects that are large in scope and require a quick turnaround. In this case study, we describe our response to an immediate need …

First Semester Bsn Students: Cognitive Appraisal & Perceived Stress, Dale Hilty, Kathleen Cassandra, Michelle Wagner

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

Cognitive appraisal and stress research has been applied to training stressors, creative arts, pregnancy, psychotherapy, academic, and sleep quality (Erschens et al.,2018; Martin, et al., 2018; Gonzalex-Ochoa, 2018; Wersebe et al., 2018; You-wei et al., 2018). The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of stress and stressors experienced by first semester BSN undergraduate students. The Brief College Student Hassle Scale (BCSHC) measured stressors (Ward & Hay, 2015). Participants rated their school and personal stresss levels, and the area most stressful.

Can We Train Cops Virtually?​ Evaluating The Feasibility Of Online, Collaborative, Police Training, Chenelle A. Jones, Alexander C. Heckman

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

High profile police shootings around the country have caused states and communities to examine how to improve the quality of policing. For example, reports from expert panels convened by Ohio’s Governor and the Ohio Attorney General both recommended expanding law enforcement training requirements as a way to enhance the quality of policing. However, the ability to improve policing through better in-service faces two key obstacles: - Lack of resources: Most police departments do not have the personnel or financial resources to provide regular, high quality training . Eighty-seven percent of police departments have 25 or fewer officers, which means they …

Winding Up For Improved Learning In A Doctoral Research Core Course: ​Integrating A Spiral Approach With Scaffolding, Yuerong Sweetland, Niccole Hyatt, Constance Wanstreet, Xiaopeng Ni Oct 2018

Winding Up For Improved Learning In A Doctoral Research Core Course: ​Integrating A Spiral Approach With Scaffolding, Yuerong Sweetland, Niccole Hyatt, Constance Wanstreet, Xiaopeng Ni

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

In a spiral curriculum based on cognitive theory by Jerome Bruner (1960), learners have multiple opportunities to revisit a concept or theme throughout an academic term, accompanied each time with increasing levels of complexity (Johnston, 2012). The spiral curriculum has been shown to produce positive outcomes for student learning, especially when combined with other learning approaches and for subject areas on skill development (Johnston, 2012). This proposal will illustrate how a spiral curriculum, enhanced with multiple scaffolding strategies, help students learn and succeed in a doctoral research core course: MTHD 805 (formerly known as GRAD 805).

Assessing College Students’ Foundational Skills: Communication And Critical Thinking, Yuerong Sweetland, Michael Klingler

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

Communication and critical thinking are foundational skills for college students, which have been strongly emphasized by employers, along with other skills (Hart Research Associates, 2015). Foundational skills are often reflected in general education outcomes, which are not only taught in General Education courses but also reinforced and assessed in major area courses. Assessment of communication and critical thinking skills are conducted in both major area courses and general education courses. This poster presents findings on student performances through work products created in senior level major area courses. Performances are also compared between F2F and online sections
