Faculty Publications

The use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), also known as drones is increasing in geospatial science curricula within the United States. Within the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture (ATCOFA) at Stephen F. Austin State University, Texas, seniors in the geospatial science program complete capstone projects to evaluate current geospatial technology to investigate complex ecological, social and environmental issues. Under the umbrella of a student initiated and designed senior project, students designed a study to estimate height of buildings with UAS data incorporating UAS data, LP360 and ArcScene programs, and Pictometry web-based interface. Results from a statistical analysis of …

Technology-Enhanced Multiliteracies Teaching Towards A Culturally Responsive Curriculum: A Multiliteracies Approach To Ece, Mi Song Kim, Xing Meng, Mi-Hyun Kim

Education Publications

Much attention has been paid to the introduction of a culturally responsive curriculum in early childhood education in our increasingly globalized society to support young children of diverse cultural and linguistic (CLD) backgrounds. With the rise of twenty-first century concepts of what literacy means in the digital age, traditional literacy practices that have relied primarily on print-based texts have been also challenged. To response to these imperatives, this qualitative case study presents a lived story of a grade one teacher who implemented multiliteracies pedagogy in her classroom for young culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) children. Our findings show that applying …

Factors To Assess Teacher Design Knowledge Competencies: Data Literacies Practice, Design Practice, And Distributed Epistemic Practice (3ds), Mi Song Kim

Education Publications

Teacher design work has gained increasing attention by re-conceptualizing teachers as designers rather than curriculum deliverers. However, assessing teacher design work can be challenging given that there are very few research tools to assess teacher design knowledge (TDK) competencies. To fill that gap, this study proposes a survey that assesses TDK competencies in the era of digitally-mediated learning. The validity and reliability studies of the scale were carried out with 66 teachers. After the EFA, the TDK survey included 43 items from 77 items and had three factors. These factors were data literacies practice, design practice, and distributed …

Multiliteracies Teachers As Teacher Entrepreneurs: A Conceptual Comparison, Najmeh Keyhani, Mi Song Kim

Education Publications

This study sets out to explore the similarities between the concepts of teacher entrepreneurship and multiliteracies in detail. To do so, multiliteracies teachers’ beliefs and actions are put side by side with the competencies, traits, and actions carried out by teacher entrepreneurs. Practical examples from a multiliteracies classroom we observed are also included to show what these similarities look like in practice. Once establishing the many commonalities that exist and because of the new entrepreneurial perspective gained on multiliteracies teachers, we searched through the entrepreneurship literature and offered possible new ways of supporting multiliteracies teachers. We found unique value in …

Teaching Mathematics Education Online: Instructional Theories, Strategies, And Technologies, Angie Hodge-Zickerman, Cindy S. York, Patrick R. Lowenthal

Educational Technology Faculty Publications and Presentations

This overview chapter provides an introduction to instructional theories, strategies, and technologies that can guide teachers new to teaching mathematics (both content and methods) online in a formal online classroom setting. We begin by discussing different types of online learning environments, including synchronous, asynchronous, bichronous, and HyFlex environments. We then focus on different theories, such as cognitive apprenticeship, individualized/personalized instruction, social learning, and inquiry-based mathematics education theories. After that, we focus on some common technologies and strategies, such as think/pair/share, student groups, whiteboards, discussion boards, and more that someone new to teaching mathematics teachers online may use to engage learners.

Does The Act Composite Score Or High School Grade Point Average Provide A Better Prediction Of Bachelor Degree Attainment?, Wil Perkins Ed.D.

Administrative Faculty & Staff Research and Publications

This study examined the relationship between ACT Composite scores and high school GPAs on persistence to bachelor degree attainment within a six-year timeframe. Longitudinal data with 1,635 students were analyzed using a binary logical regression analysis. Results indicated high school GPA to be a significant predictor of persistence to degree attainment while the ACT Composite score was not a significant predictor. Implications from this study suggest that admissions officers may want to emphasize a student's high school GPA in determining if the student will complete a bachelor's degree program.

Student Fluency And Teacher Authority: A Response To Prasetianto, James Hunter

TESOL Faculty Scholarship

In an early issue of Journey, Prasetianto (2019) argues that the best way to promote oral fluency in the Indonesian context is through information gap activities, and that small-group discussion activities are not appropriate. This article addresses misunderstandings in this position and clarifies why true communicative competence cannot be developed in controlled activities like information gaps. It discusses the role of accuracy in communicative competence, particularly in relation to emerging varieties of English, and notes the reluctance of some teachers to remove themselves from the center of the classroom and allow students to engage in authentic discussion, which is …

Flexible Strategies For Ensuring Quality Learning Outcomes In Education In Emergencies, Pina Tarricone, Ian Teo, Kemran Mestan, Kris Sundarsagar, Ashtamurthy Killimangalam, Nordin Abd Razak

International Education Research

The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted schooling for students globally and challenged how policy-makers might respond and recover from this protracted emergency. In collaboration with NEQMAP, the GEM Centre has conducted a rapid review of policy and practice documents for 14 countries, and an online survey with policy-makers in 7 of them to identify the types of flexible learning strategies that were implemented over the course of this pandemic. An education in emergencies Policy Monitoring Framework was used both to guide the analysis of documents and survey data, and to provide the basis for reporting findings. The range of flexible learning …

Information Technology & Decision Sciences Faculty Publications

K-12 cybersecurity education is receiving growing attention with the growing number of cyberattacks and a shortage of cybersecurity professionals. However, there are many barriers for teachers to implement effective cybersecurity education in formal classroom environments. This study conducts a systematic literature review to examine the current state-of-the-art on K-12 cybersecurity education. Through the systematic literature review, we identified 20 closely relevant papers and recognized that a well-designed curriculum in cybersecurity education at the K-12 level is strongly needed to motivate students to pursue cybersecurity pathways and careers. The challenge and suggestions of curriculum design, teaching strategy, and learning assessment are …

A Biblioguidance Approach To Understanding And Developing Adolescents’ Social-Emotional Competence In The Health Education Classroom: A Formative Research Study, Jennifer R. Banas, Julia Valley, Amina Chaudhri

Health Sciences and Physical Education Faculty Publications

Purpose

Though the benefits of social-emotional competence (SEC) are well-recognized, measuring it and designing appropriately matched interventions remains elusive and methodologically challenging. This paper shares formative research designed to uncover the SEC of one secondary school health teacher's students and to help her make evidence-based curricular and instructional decisions.

Design/methodology/approach

Inspired by bibliguidance (or bibliotherapeutic) approaches to well-being, the researchers and teacher developed a fiction literature curriculum intended to foster SEC and health literacy skills. A mixed-method approach was used to gather and analyze data from 133 students and a teacher. A survey and journal entries embedded into the curriculum, …

Attitudes Toward Co-Teaching In Higher Education: An Exploration Of The Circular Model Of Collegiate Co-Teaching, Alyssa Harter, Laura Jacobi

Communication Studies Department Publications

The Circular Model of Collegiate Co-Teaching (Morelock et al., 2017) examines power and authority structures, dynamics of co-teaching relationships, and co-teachers’ perceptions of co-teaching. The model does not include student perceptions, however, and it has not been applied to veteran-novice instructor pairs. The authors conducted a case study to explore the utility of the model with a veteran-novice instructor pair and to consider student perceptions. Twelve undergraduates in a communication course completed surveys, and the instructors kept reflexive journals. Findings confirm the utility of the model. Student perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of co-teaching suggest that a fourth model …

Teachers’ Perspectives About Students’ Productive Textual Engagement In Social Studies, Jacquelynn S. Popp, Paula Di Domenico, Joanna Makhlouf

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Because close reading and critical analysis of multiple sources is central to social studies, understanding teachers’ perspectives about productive textual engagement is imperative. This comparative study explored twelve 5ththrough 11th-grade social studies teachers’ perspectives about supporting students’ textual engagement via think-aloud interviews. Teacher-participants read hypothetical vignettes representing four paradigms of instruction with texts in social studies classrooms. Participants ranked the vignettes, provided reasoning about their value, and reflected on their own practices in relation to the paradigms. Participants placed higher value on fostering students’ historical literacies and civic literacies than on supporting students’ content-area literacies or traditional content acquisition. There …

Improvisation-Based Curriculum For Nutrition And Dietetics Undergraduate Students: An Examination In Alternative Education Methods, Megan Farris

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Introduction: Medical improvisation is the use of theatrical-based games to develop interpersonal communication skills (ICS), including those applicable to telehealth communication, among health care professionals.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if implementing a medical improvisation-based workshop via a virtual classroom within an upper-level undergraduate nutrition and dietetics counseling course improved students’ self-assessed perceived capability of the following characteristics required as ICS for telehealth communication: becoming a better listener, becoming more observant of nonverbal communication, responding in the moment, increasing self-confidence in presenting, and becoming a better team member/collaborator. This study also considered the feasibility of using …

On The Meaning Of Young Children’S Mathematics Learning, Cristina Valencia Mazzanti

Education and Child Study: Faculty Publications

Through events of kindergarten children learning mathematics, I examine how experiences can shape an idea of what mathematics is and what its purposes are. I question how mathematics is experienced by young children in schools, how those experiences may shape students’ perceptions of mathematics, and how teachers can disrupt the unintentional messages that mathematics teaching can convey. I pose that mathematics instruction should foster children’s understanding of how their worldviews shape their perceptions of the discipline; allowing them to experience mathematics as a resource to problem-solve and think about the realities of the world around them.

The Impact Of Teacher Roles Outside The Realm Of Education, Mary Bywater Miller

Teaching and Learning (MA) Theses

Teachers perform multiple roles and duties in their career as educators, which can lead to teacher burnout. However, there is a lack of research regarding the specific roles and duties outside of curriculum and instruction that are asked of teachers to perform that would result in feelings of emotional labor. This qualitative study aspires to identify the additional roles and duties teachers perform outside of curriculum and instruction and analyze how these additional roles and duties contribute to emotional labor and teacher retention.

Through poetic inquiry, this study aims to capture the essence of teacher voices and their additional emotional …
