Motivations For Civic Engagement Among College Students, Claire Elizabeth Farrington
Motivations For Civic Engagement Among College Students, Claire Elizabeth Farrington
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
This thesis examines the motivations for and barriers to voting for college students at a private, predominantly white institution in the Midwest that serves roughly 4500 students. Given that civic learning is essential and can actively increase civic engagement in the form of voting, civic education should be readily available to all citizens of all ages (Winthrop, 2020). However, civic education typically only widely occurs in high school, often before the age when individuals can vote. There are very few easily accessible and well-advertised post-high school opportunities for civic education. College is a formative time for the development of an …

Benefits Of Dual Immersion Programs On Elementary School Students, Belle Sanchez
Benefits Of Dual Immersion Programs On Elementary School Students, Belle Sanchez
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
This senior capstone research project aims to share the benefits of dual immersion programs in elementary school years. Understanding what a dual immersion program is and knowing the different models within the program allow parents to select which program is best suited for their students. A key point in clarification is that a dual immersion program does not aim to replace an English, or standard, education program, but adds a target language to enhance the students learning. This study looks at the overall benefits that students can gain in elementary school, from kindergarten through fifth grade, sometimes through eighth grade. …
Diving Into Pre-Columbian Art: Expanding The Uri Curriculum, Emilia Zeyl
Diving Into Pre-Columbian Art: Expanding The Uri Curriculum, Emilia Zeyl
Senior Honors Projects
Many art history programs at universities across the country continue to follow a Eurocentric format of ‘modern’ art history that came about in the eighteenth-century. These curricula largely exclude any art history of entire regions, notably Asia, Africa, South America, and Oceana. I was made aware of this issue from my art history professors who are actively working to change this pattern at URI. I wanted to assist in this effort by creating a course that would complement the Latin American-focused subject matter I had engaged with in courses on art history and anthropology, courses that initially sparked my curiosity …
Exploring The Ethnic And Racial Identity Development Of Afro-Latinx Recent College Graduates Living In The United States, Triana Martinez
Exploring The Ethnic And Racial Identity Development Of Afro-Latinx Recent College Graduates Living In The United States, Triana Martinez
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
Historically, the Latinx population in the United States has been viewed through a monolithic, ethnic lens that ignores within-group differences, especially regarding race. Additionally, this lens is also influenced by the anti-Blackness that is embedded within the Latinx community, which has led to the erasure of Afro-Latinx people. Consequently, this erasure has also been perpetuated by the counseling and higher education student affairs fields, which has resulted in the existing racial and ethnic identity development models not representing the identity. Therefore, this grounded theory methodology study asked: What is the racial and ethnic identity process for Afro-Latinx individuals recent college …
Disrupting The School To Prison Pipeline: The Potential Of Preservice Teachers In Advancing Social Justice Education Through Critical Consciousness, Paula B. Perrone
Disrupting The School To Prison Pipeline: The Potential Of Preservice Teachers In Advancing Social Justice Education Through Critical Consciousness, Paula B. Perrone
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
In order to address prevalent barriers to equitable education, it is critical for preservice teachers to recognize their potential for enacting change as they prepare to enter Pre-K to 12th grade classrooms. This critical qualitative study focused on preservice teachers’ attitudes, perceptions, and views of their unique roles in advancing social justice education (SJE) through critical consciousness (CC) that may allow for the possibility of dismantling the school to prison pipeline (STPP).

The Nature Of Undergraduate Calculus I Students' Participation In The Parallel Spaces Of Coursework And Peer-Led, Cooperative, Inquiry-Oriented Complementary Instruction, Karmen T. Yu
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
Calculus has long been known as a “gateway course” to STEM fields in postsecondary education. To moderate this gatekeeping effect, Montclair State University researchers developed a peer-led, inquiry-based instructional support (IBIS) to run parallel to Calculus classes. The design of the IBIS model was informed by an instructional approach called Complex Instruction (CI) and two other peer-led, cooperative learning models, Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) and Supplemental Instruction (SI). While the literature on peer-led models of cooperative learning confirms their effectiveness on undergraduate students’ academic outcomes in mathematics, this multiple-case study set out to address the following: What is the nature …
Martin Luther King Jr.'S Leadership Philosophy And The Political Crisis In The Democratic Republic Of Congo, Joel N. Kapapa
Martin Luther King Jr.'S Leadership Philosophy And The Political Crisis In The Democratic Republic Of Congo, Joel N. Kapapa
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo has its origins in several socio-political and economic events, including colonization, dictatorship, institutionalized corruption, misuse of authority for personal interest, illicit trade of mineral resources, and tribalism. In addition to armed conflicts, there are violent crimes, such as armed robbery and armed home invasion, as well as the failure of the country’s leadership to unite the people and promote the dignity of its citizens, all of which have reached a critical level ( Kama Funzi, p.146). The Democratic Republic of Congo seems to be a country in misery, but it is …

Eighteen participants, ages 19 to 71, from various holistic backgrounds in North America, participated in focus group meetings and interviews. They reflected on their current sense of self on each …
Investigating U.S. Entrepreneurship Instructors' Critical Pedagogy And Innovative Teaching Practice: A Mixed Method Approach, Yanghyun Kim
Investigating U.S. Entrepreneurship Instructors' Critical Pedagogy And Innovative Teaching Practice: A Mixed Method Approach, Yanghyun Kim
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Inclusive and effective entrepreneurship education (EE) can significantly contribute to empowering underserved communities. However, EE scholars have highlighted pedagogical concerns including a lack of critical perspectives, the prevalence of lecture-centered teaching, and resistance to technology integration, raising questions about the inclusiveness and effectiveness of EE. Nevertheless, there were few studies comprehensively examining how entrepreneurship instructors employed teaching practices. Thus, this study aimed to: 1) investigate the status of U.S. entrepreneurship instructors’ teaching practices regarding critical pedagogy and innovative teaching (teaching practices endorsed by EE scholars), 2) examine factors influencing their teaching practices, and 3) explore how they have developed these …
Developing Historical Empathy For Enslaved African Americans: Teaching And Learning Difficult History During A Field Trip To A Historic Site, Frances Tria
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This case study examined how we ask students to engage in learning the difficult history of slavery by experiencing a field trip to a historic site where that history occurred, how that experience informs student development of historical empathy for the enslaved people who lived and labored there, the role it may play in supporting a more complex understanding of African American history, and how students engage civically upon that knowledge. This study found that place-based education to a site of difficult history immerses students in site-specific visual, textual, narrative, and physical resources that provide a frame to contextualize and …

Positive Behavior Interventions And Supports: A Quasi-Experimental Study Of Academic Outcomes, Erin J. Brewer
Positive Behavior Interventions And Supports: A Quasi-Experimental Study Of Academic Outcomes, Erin J. Brewer
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Districts and schools are under pressure to increase student academic outcomes while meeting their various social-behavioral needs. This pressure is compounded by the responsibility of creating climates that are safe and equitable for all students where teachers can teach, and all students can learn. However, far too often, negative, and disruptive school climates are counteracting efforts being made by teachers to increase academic outcomes (Warren et al., 2006). Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) offers a proactive approach to promote positive school climate while reducing punitive and reactionary discipline procedures. However, the relationship between PBIS implementation fidelity and academic achievement …

A Review Of Maslow’S Hierarchy Of Needs In Students During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Hunter Gardner
A Review Of Maslow’S Hierarchy Of Needs In Students During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Hunter Gardner
ALL - Honors Theses
The COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly struck the world in 2020 and had long-lasting effects. Many people had lost their jobs, the economy faltered, and people were stuck at home with no way of seeing friends or non-immediate family. The pandemic also had a profound impact on students. Schools were forced to transition into online learning, which was something that many school districts and universities were not prepared for (Russell, Head, Wolfe-Enslow, Holland, & Zimmerman, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic also had an impact on people's needs. According to Abraham Maslow (1943), people’s needs are arranged into a hierarchy where basic level needs …

The Subordination Of Teaching To Learning: Teacher Adaptability And Awareness, Vanessa Asencio-Trezza
The Subordination Of Teaching To Learning: Teacher Adaptability And Awareness, Vanessa Asencio-Trezza
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
ABSTRACT In today’s context of schooling, most teaching is aimed at output, coverage, and high scores which is in direct contrast to what pre-service teachers are taught to cherish — differentiation, academic choice, and student autonomy. However, there is an approach that shows promise in counteracting the tendency to over stress scores and undermine a humanizing approach to teaching and learning. Called the Subordination of Teaching to Learning (SubTLe), this approach potentially alleviates the tension between long established, highly valued learning outcomes and the unavoidable pressures of high stakes testing but has yet to be studied in this context. Founded …

Does Appearance Matter? The Relationship Of Perceived Body Size And Physical Appearance On Students' Attraction To Physical Activity At Recess, Danielle Belcher
Does Appearance Matter? The Relationship Of Perceived Body Size And Physical Appearance On Students' Attraction To Physical Activity At Recess, Danielle Belcher
Master's Theses
Drastic declines in recess physical activity (PA) have been observed within recent years (Center for Disease Control (CDC), 2017). Due to recess’ discretionary nature, psychosocial variables associated with PA are predictors of students’ PA levels. Recess is also a time of heightened bullying occurrences (Vaillancourt et al., 2010). Appearance-based bullying is the most common type of victimization that occurs in schools, transpiring more often in children with larger body max indexes (BMI), and possibly altering students’ physical self-perceptions. Physical self-perceptions have been shown to impact PA motivation, however, it is still unknown the extent to which appearance-based bullying, body size, …
