Building Empathy At The Intersection Of Art, Nature, & Culture: A Field Guide For Art Educators, Jasmine Gutbrod

Masters Theses

This thesis is an offering for those compelled to use art and design learning as a way to strengthen the resiliency of our collective cultures. By integrating intersectional place-based pedagogy into art and design learning, art educators can resist the idea that humans exist on a hierarchy with each other and other species. A deeper understanding of place can build empathy for both nature and culture, and can help educators imagine alternative classroom models that focus on building empathy within a learning environment. The importance of place is examined through a literature review, contemporary artist analysis, case studies, and interviews …

Considering The State And Status Of Internationalization In Western Higher Education, Brian Culp

Faculty Articles

While internationalization is among the top strategic priorities of universities and colleges globally, research into the expanse of internationalization in the kinesiology discipline is not well researched. Given this gap, critical consideration of the state and status of the phenomenon is needed. Knowing more about what is being done in the name of internationalization within kinesiology and reflecting on how those actions and outcomes are aligned, or not, with key theoretical guidance is necessary in order to plan for improvement accordingly. For these reasons, this paper first provides a primer on internationalization in higher education, including how the phenomenon has …

Counting Pebbles Wasn't Even A Class In High School: Seeing Visual Arts Education Through A Process-Forward Lens, Em Xiangning Wang

Masters Theses

This thesis explores process-forward visual arts education in the Greater Providence arts education community. The researcher conducted interviews with arts educators as well as administrators working within organizations guided by a “process-forward” philosophy. Interview transcripts are analyzed to identify any emergent themes of intended and actualized student learning outcomes as well as other commonalities which exist among the interviewed organizations. This investigation found that, within these organizations, multiple, significant forms of student learning outcomes were identified that extended well beyond any particular aesthetic merits of the artistic products created by students

The author calls, in this thesis, for a recalibration …

A Qualitative Study Of Contributing Factors Of Early Career Teacher Burnout, Mindi Ann Helmandollar-Armatas

Doctor of Education (EdD)

Understanding factors contributing to teacher burnout is important to understand so it can be prevented. Teacher attrition is on the rise and is directly affecting student achievement. To combat this prevalent issue in our schools today, districts and school leadership need to support and develop teacher self-efficacy. To do this, they need to provide support to their teachers through positive affirmation, checking in frequently, and providing proper time and resources needed for teachers to feel successful at their job. This qualitative study explored the contributing factors of early career teacher burnout. The research questions (RQ) for this study are as …

Eps Component Report Of Findings: Co-Curricular & Extra-Curricular Activities, Amy F. Johnson Phd, James E. Sloan, Sigrid Olson, Sharon Gerrish

Co-Ex Curricular

Co- and extra- curricular activities are offered outside the curriculum, usually after school. The Maine School Financial Accounting Handbook defines co-curricular and extracurricular activities as activities and programs that add to the educational experience of students but are not related to educational activities and take place outside the traditional classroom. Co-curricular activities may be programs such as band, academic clubs, choir, and honor societies, and intramural sports. Extra-curricular activities are defined as interscholastic athletic programs.

Eps Component Report Of Findings: Professional Development, Amy F. Johnson Phd, James E. Sloan, Sigrid Olson, Sharon Gerrish

Professional Development

Professional Development is an Essential Programs and Services (EPS) component in the category of Specialized Services. The EPS Committee of the Maine State Board of Education found that “sustained professional development is key to helping staff acquire and maintain the new skills and knowledge necessary for continually improving curriculum, instruction and assessment practices.” (SBOE, 1998) The EPS Committee established that some professional development must be local and should be funded within the EPS model, while others programs may be more effective at the state or regional level and should be funded outside of the EPS Model. The component provides funding …

Eps Component Report Of Findings: Instructional Technology, Amy F. Johnson Phd, James E. Sloan, Sigrid Olson, Sharon Gerrish

Instructional Technology

When the Essential Programs and Services (EPS) funding model was being developed, the EPS of the State Board of Education held that “technology resources are key to equalizing access to worldwide learning resources for all Maine schools and students” to help students achieve the Learning Results (MSBOE, 1998). The committee stated that the EPS Model should cover the annual operating costs of personnel, training and support for teachers, and maintenance of devices and infrastructure, and that the purchase of hardware and software should be treated as capital investments and funded outside the EPS Model. The initial allocation was $175 per …

Eps Component Report Of Findings: Student Assessment, James E. Sloan, Amy F. Johnson Phd, Sigrid Olson, Sharon Gerrish

Student Assessment

Student assessment was determined by the Maine State Board of Education to be among the Essential Programs and Services (EPS) necessary for all Maine students to achieve academic success. The EPS committee of the State Board envisioned that schools would “create comprehensive local assessment systems which contain multiple assessments and measures of student performance”1 School districts were to be responsible for certifying that students achieved the Maine Learning Results. While state assessments such as the Maine Educational Assessments may be used for this purpose, they cover few subject areas. Thus, the committee felt that SAUs would need to develop comprehensive …

Shy And Outgoing Preservice Teachers And Their Responses To Hypothetical Problem Behaviors In The Classroom, Qizhen Deng, Irina Patwardhan, Kathleen Rudasill, Guy Trainin, Stephanie Wessels, Julia Torquati, Robert J. Coplan

Literacy, Language and Culture Faculty Publications and Presentations

The present study explored the relations among preservice teacher shyness (shy, average, outgoing) and their responses towards hypothetical children displaying classroom problem behaviours (shy/quiet, exuberant/talkative) in the classroom. Participants were 335 elementary preservice teachers attending a Midwest university in the United States. Preservice teachers completed self-reports of shyness and responded to hypothetical vignettes depicting different classroom behaviours. Among the results, shy preservice teachers reported lower self-efficacy and less tendency to use warm/supportive and social-learning strategies as compared to their more outgoing counterparts. Shy preservice teachers also had lower tendency than average teachers to refer to high-powered strategies when dealing with …

Examining Teacher Reflection In A Multimodal Composition About Identity, Hazel Vega, Golnaz Arastoopour Irgens

Publications

This study aimed to examine the reflection and development of a multimodal composition exploring the topic of professional identity formation in a teacher education program of teaching English as a Foreign language (EFL). Using a social design experiment, this study examined the process of a key participant. Three themes were identified: (1) iterations through her composition, (2) critical examination of readings, and (3) giving and receiving feedback. This study contributes to a nuanced conceptualization of reflection through multimodal composition when mediating reflection in identity work in EFL teacher learning.

Beyond The Checklist Approach: A Librarian-Faculty Collaboration To Teach The Beam Method Of Source Evaluation, Jenny Mills, Rachael Flynn, Nicole Fox, Dana Shaw, Claire Wiley

Library Faculty Scholarship

Evaluating information is an essential skill, valued across disciplines. While librarians and instructors share the responsibility to teach this skill, they need a common framework in order to collaborate to design assignments that give students multiple opportunities to learn. Librarians and First Year Seminar faculty at Belmont University collaborated to design a unit of instruction on source evaluation using the BEAM method. BEAM requires students to apply a use-based approach to evaluation, to read and engage with sources more closely, and to think about how they might use a source for a specific purpose. Structured annotated bibliographies that included BEAM …

Information Technology Creativity And Economic Growth: A Case Of Korea, Hiawook Choi, Hae-Yeon Choi

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

This paper examines the contributing factors of information technology (IT) creativity and whether IT creativity can explain the economic growth in Korea. We empirically test college students’ perception and attitudes on educational quality, work environment, social preparedness on tolerance, and government-initiated IT policy. We also test whether creative capital theory, which states creativity as the major driver ofregional and national economic development– is working in Korea. We apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the survey data collected from college students in five different regions in Korea. SEM analysis indicates that all endogenous constructs, except education quality, provide a statistically …
