Lgbtq Related Intervention In Indonesia: A Literature Review, Gary Collins Brata Winardy, Eva Septiana

Psychological Research on Urban Society

Sexuality remains a divisive but relevant topic in Indonesia, especially concerning sexual minorities, societal view on sexuality, and what role education should take regarding sexuality. The views on the education field in Indonesia are separated on two camps, with some scholars decrying LGBTQ as a problem, a phenomenon incompatible with the national, cultural, and religious values. Whereas at the same time, other schools of thought are pushing for the integration and tolerance toward sexual minority. This article aims to review the current practices on how Indonesia education system handle the topic of LGBTQ. This is done through reviewing research articles …

My Journey: Teaching English As A Foreign Language In Spain, Bailey Marks

Honors Projects

This project focuses on the student's journey of teaching English as a foreign language in Spain. A Service-Learning course that is offered to students studying abroad allows them the opportunity to give back to their host community by teaching English classes at a local community center. These classes are super important for the community as nowadays, Spain is one of the European countries with the lowest English proficiency. In order to give a voice to the students participating in these English classes, I interviewed a pool of the students about their individual experiences learning English. Some topics that were discussed …

Documentation Status And Youth’S Critical Consciousness Across Borders, Sarah Gallo, Melissa Adams Corral

Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications

Centering the testimonios of two sets of transborder high school seniors living and learning in Mexico and the U.S., in this article, we draw upon decolonizing approaches to theorize critical consciousness formation for and with students from families with mixed documentation status who cross physical and metaphorical borders. Data come from two larger qualitative studies on immigration and education and demonstrate how young people recognize inequity, critique it, and engage in a range of actions to counteract it. We argue that border-crossing youth draw upon personal experiences to critique and take action to change oppressive realities. We extend critical consciousness …

Overrepresentation Of African American Children In Child Welfare, Mareeta M. Bracken

Masters Projects

African American children continue to be overrepresented in the child welfare system. This study will show how existing research illustrates how the systems are used to put many Black families and youth into the sights of the school-to-prison pipeline via this intervention. This specific issue is rooted in systemic and historical racism. The literature has revealed this and continues to show how teachers as mandated reporters play a role in shaping the outcome through how they perceive Black children to be subjected to abuse or neglect. The child welfare system is one of many institutional frameworks that has been shaped …

The Effects Of Breastfeeding Education On Working Moms Of Low Socioeconomic Status, Grace Ngo, Suzanne Manseau

Nursing | Student Research Posters

Breastfeeding plays an important role in promoting immunity due to the high concentration of antibodies (Tangsuksan et al., 2020). Immunity is important for the infant the first year of their lives. Women of low socioeconomic status (LSES) are less likely to breastfeed due to a lack of resources (Kebede & Seifu, 2021). In addition LSES women living in Marin often lack the proper resources and education for breastfeeding (Heck et al., 2006). The purpose of this thesis proposal is to investigate if educating pregnant women of low socioeconomic status will increase breastfeeding rates.

New Jersey Community Colleges: Is There A Relationship Between Part Time Faculty And Student Success?, Gerald Maxmilian Slusher

Theses and Dissertations

The increasing number of part time instructors in the community college professorate combined with low student retention and graduation rates makes research into part time faculty and student success highly germane. My dissertation investigated if higher ratios of adjunct faculty were related to student retention, certificate/degree attainment, and transfer without a credential while accounting for institutional, student body, and county characteristics. The dissertation was limited to New Jersey community colleges to eliminate differences in state policies. The sector was examined over 12 academic years yielding 228 data points arrayed into three panel models to run 12 regressions.

Transition From Clinician To Academician: A Heuristic Inquiry Of Role Change, Work-Role Conflict And Identity Development In Occupational Therapy, Theresa Rhett-Davis

Theses and Dissertations

Transitioning can be a daunting experience for occupational therapists shifting to an academic job as new faculty with new roles, responsibilities, and expectations. As newcomers to academia, occupational therapists can become overwhelmed by meeting the demands of the academic roles of teaching, scholarship, and service. Through a heuristic approach, I explored the lived experiences of occupational therapists who transitioned to academia from the clinical setting to better understand role change, work-role conflict, and academic identity development during the transition process. The person-environment-occupation-performance model provided a framework to understand the findings and give meaning to the OT faculty transition experience. The …

Support Services And State Standardized Assessments For Homeless And High Mobility Youth: A Mixed Methods Case Study, Veronika Cummings

Department of Educational Administration: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

For the past decade, the number of homeless youth in the United States has drastically increased, with public schools now consistently serving over one million homeless students each year. Research spanning three decades has linked youth homelessness and poorer academic achievement. In addition to decreased academic achievement, homeless and highly mobile (HHM) youth are more likely to suffer from mental health issues, have a behavioral diagnosis, engage in high-risk behavior, be truant, abuse drugs and alcohol, and even face premature death. Because homelessness is also frequently misidentified as solely an urban problem, it often results in HHM youth being left …

Determining The Strategies Used In The Game "Spot The Missing Object (Smo)" By Adhd, And Non-Adhd In Adults: An Eye-Tracking Technology Study, Max Gerhold, Carissa Martinez, H. Marzolf

Graduate Research Conference

• Typical evaluations of ADHD consist of behavior self-report rating scales, a measure of cognitive or intellectual functioning, and specific performance measures designed to measure attention.

• However, some research shows that current performance measures of ADHD have low specificity and sensitivity and are generally not helpful in diagnosing ADHD in adults (Lipszyc & Schachar, 2010).

• This project is designed to determine if a non-verbal, user-friendly visual search task, combined with eye-tracking technology, can help increase the diagnostic utility of performance-based measures.

• The study evaluated the effectiveness of Eye-Tracking Technology as a reliable technique to discriminate ADHD in …

A Rhyme A Week: Early Emergent Literacy Skills In Pre-K Children Attending Head Start, Kaylee Cox

Graduate Research Conference

The researchers, speech-language pathology graduate students, conducted an experimental study to explore the effectiveness of early literacy intervention for nursery rhyme awareness and rhyme awareness in pre-kindergarten (PK) children attending a local Head Start facility. The Phonological Awareness Literacy Screener-PK was administered (PALS- PK) prior to and following a six-week intervention. In comparing initial and final scores, the researchers found insignificant results in nursery rhyme and significant results in rhyme awareness scores following the intervention.

Determining The Eye-Tracking Strategies Used In The Game "Spot The Missing Object (Smo)" By Simulator Malingerers, Adhd, And Non-Adhd, Max Gerhold, Carissa Martinez

Graduate Research Conference

• Typical evaluations of adult ADHD consist of behavior self-report rating scales, cognitive or intellectual functioning measures, and specific measures designed to measure attention.

• Boone (2009) suggested monitoring continuous effort is essential throughout psychological assessments.

• Yet, few studies have contributed to malingering literature on the ADHD population.

• Many studies have reported the adequate use of symptom validity tests, which assess effortful performance in ADHD evaluations (Jasinski et al., 2011; Sollman et al., 2010; Schneider et al., 2014).

• Because of the length of ADHD assessments, individuals are likely to become weary and tired, thus impacting their performance. …

Cerebral Palsy And School Performance, Megan Haverstock

Graduate Research Conference

The purpose of this paper is to inform the audience about the disability of Cerebral Palsy and what schools are doing to accommodate and/or provide appropriate interventions for academics and psychological health for best success. Schools may lack in awareness of chronic health accommodations and creation of interventions for improvement, leading to an increase in concern and distress of parents and children. Those with chronic health conditions, like Cerebral Palsy undergo many social-emotional difficulties that others might not think about. When entering a school, starting school, or transitioning back to school as an individual with a chronic health condition, it …
