Mitigating Student Learning Burnout, Kelly B. Renner

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

Overview: Individuals in a wide range of occupations, including students, athletes, and the general population, have reported experiencing burnout (Dubuc-Charbonneau & Durand-Bush, 2015; Halbesleben, Osburn, & Mumford, 2006; Maslach, 2003; Salmela-Aro, Näätänen, & Nurmi, 2004). Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is often viewed as the foundation for a plausible explanation of burnout (Cresswell & Eklund, 2005; Lonsdale, Hodge, & Rose, 2009). SDT identifies the satisfaction of basic psychological needs results in optimal human functioning, social development, and personal well-being (Ryan & Deci, 2000). The needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are regarded as not only essential, but also universal among humans (Ryan …

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).

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


The Problems Of Teaching And Applying Critical Ethics, Isidoro Talavera Oct 2018

The Problems Of Teaching And Applying Critical Ethics, Isidoro Talavera

Scholars Showcase 2018: Innovations in Leadership and Learning

To foster the development of ethical, responsible, and engaged citizens, it is important for students to learn to modify or correct belief molded by personal interest, motivated thinking, upbringing, and/or indoctrination. Critical ethics comes into play whenever a systematic attempt to get around the limitations of personal belief is sought to get to what ought to be done. Accordingly, I examine the problems associated with teaching and applying critical ethics—where critical thinking takes some ethical argument apart, via analysis, and evaluates whether some derived conclusion follows from the evidence to make reasonable, intelligent decisions about what to believe and what …

Class Activities That Create A Climate For Active Learning!, Barbara Carder

Learning Showcase 2016: A Celebration of Discovery, Transformation and Success

Active Learning is anything that students do in a classroom other than passively listening to an instructor's lecture. This includes everything from listening practices which help the students to absorb what they hear, to short writing exercises in which students react to lecture material, to complex group exercises in which students apply course material to "real life" situations and/or to new problems. Students are no longer mere receivers of information but they are given time to work with the topic. This chart compares traditional lectures with active learning.

Open Educational Resources (Oer): A Framework For Adoption And Its Impact Assessment On Learning, Lewis Chongwony

Learning Showcase 2016: A Celebration of Discovery, Transformation and Success

While there's general consensus among many stakeholders in the educational sector about the value and the need to deploy open educational resources (OER) as a potential cure to rising costs of instructional and learning materials, particularly textbooks; little agreement exists on how this noble endeavor should be mainstreamed. This could partly be due to complexities and variations in needs of various institutions as well as departments within the same institutions. In other words, there is a lack of universally accepted taxonomy of OER standards and clearinghouse and/or system dedicated to vetting quality and efficacy of OER. Additionally, not much research …
