Unusual Synergy: Undergraduate Research and Civic Engagement Initiatives at Community Colleges
No full textCenters for Undergraduate Research and Centers for Civic Engagement are rare at the Community College level. With two such Centers both launched in 2023 at a Midwestern Community College, we are endeavoring to examine how intentional mentoring efforts in undergraduate research and civically engaging students in the political process impact students\u27 political efficacy and interest in research careers and careers in public service. We also examine how the research and civic engagement projects these community college students are participating in influence their desire to pursue graduate level education. The Director and Co-Directors of these two Centers along with the community college student civic leaders and undergraduate research scholars will offer evidence-based practices on how to implement and grow such Centers with experiential learning practices at peer institutions
The High-Altitude Lab (HAL) and Hypoxia Awareness Training at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University: What is life really like in thin air?
No full textEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University trains students for stressful settings by recreating the experience of flying through a thin atmosphere, without leaving the ground. Students learn firsthand about the physical and cognitive strains of low oxygen, understanding how to recognize the warning signs in themselves and the people around them before it\u27s too late. These insights come from essentially experiential education -- in ways they can\u27t get from secondhand accounts, or even virtual reality
On-Campus Internships at Binghamton University, State University of New York
No full textInternships are educationally powerful practice-runs for the world of work and civic participation after college. But in too many cases these experiences are out of reach, for the students whose off-campus responsibilities -- or just transportation challenges -- get in the way. Learn how SUNY Binghamton extends the reach of this high-impact practice, and hear directly from students about the benefits
AI-Assisted Statistical Writing in a Quantitative Research Methods Course
Get PDFMany graduate students in the social sciences struggle with quantitative methods, particularly in statistical writing, where they must not only conduct analyses but also communicate their findings effectively. This lesson, implemented in a Doctor of Educational Leadership (Edd) quantitative research methods course, integrated generative AI tools to enhance students\u27 statistical writing and interpretation skills. Through asynchronous AI learning modules, in-class demonstrations, hands-on practice, and a structured assignment, students learned to use AI to refine statistical interpretations and produce professional memos tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences. Results indicated increased confidence in both statistical analysis and AI literacy, reinforcing the potential of AI as a tool for enhancing learning in quantitative research methods courses. This study underscores the role of AI in bridging the gap between statistical knowledge and professional communication, preparing educational leaders to make data-driven decisions
