Three-Act Tasks and Increasing Student Motivation
No full textThe purpose of this study is to implement strategies that increase student motivation and participation by teaching them how to ask questions that require higher-level thinking. For this study, students will complete a KWL chart, as well as a three-act task, which allows them to self-regulate their learning. Participants will engage in a classroom survey which will allow me analyze their overall thoughts and feelings towards the KWL chart and three-act task, I will also be able to determine if the participants were able to learn the intended math concepts by completing these two activities
Investigating the Potential of Improving Well Being with Online Tools
No full textThis research tests the efficacy of online well-being interventions. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or placebo condition. We predicted a modest, statistically significant well-being increase in the treatment group relative to control, which could help pave the way for expanding the accessibility of well-being through online interventions. Ultimately, however, well-being did not differ by condition
Allied Health Science Students Practicing Teamwork Today for Professional Practice Tomorrow: An Interprofessional Education Event
No full textIt has long been proposed that there are many problems with healthcare today. The concept of interdisciplinary healthcare teams is one of several strategies identified to improve the safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of patient care. The successful collaboration of health care professionals will not occur unless this concept is both taught and modeled throughout the health care worker’s professional education.
The AHS Department has hosted an Interprofessional Education Event for the past 4 years. All 2nd-year students in each of the AHS programs meet together for 4 hours and work collaboratively to study and answer case study questions. While working together, the students learn about the AHS professions and each other’s scope of practice and body of knowledge related to the case.
Several faculty members from the AHS Department will participate in a panel discussion of the implementation and effects of this learner-based activity. We will share with the SSU community details concerning the purpose, planning and the powerful effect our annual IPE event has had on both students and AHS faculty alike
Comparison of Vertebrate Roadway Mortality with Speed Limitations
No full textRoadway mortality surveys are useful for determining species presence and the impact of vehicular traffic on organisms. Mortality surveys complement species diversity and are used in the development of mitigation methods. Frequently, surveys occur for a short duration or take place intermittently over multiple years. Often organisms killed on the road are removed by scavengers or environmental conditions before being documented. Frequent visitation is necessary to more fully understand the extent of mortality. In our study, four 200 meter transects of roadway, representing four speed limits (25, 35, 45, and 55), were selected in Adams County, Ohio. Each transect has been visited during morning hours, three days per week, for one year. Mortality of terrestrial vertebrates, excluding Aves, were photographed, numbered, and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Most specimens recorded have been mammals, while the greatest number of fatalities have been in the 45 and 55 mph zones
Mindset in the Math Classroom
No full textThis presentation will explore a possible root cause of why students may struggle with motivation in the math classroom. The research presented is based off of Duckworth’s growth and fixed mindset ideas. The goal of this study was to identify what experiences students have had in relation to mathematics that led to either a fixed or growth mindset and how the mindset effected their academic career as current 9th grade geometry students in the foothills of Appalachia
Three Kinds of Competitive Excellence
No full textI call the trait that makes for a good or great competitor, the trait that makes its possessor compete well, ‘competitive excellence.’ We seem to be of two minds about this trait: On the one hand, we often admire great competitors, but on the other hand, we sometimes identify their competitive drive as ‘pathological,’ recognizing something unhealthy in it. Why are we so ambivalent? The answer I will defend is that there are at least three distinct traits, which I name Competitive Pride, Competitive Overcoming, and Competitive Respect, each of which satisfies the definition of competitive excellence and so has something of a claim to be the trait we admire in great competitors. One of these traits is a virtue, one a vice, and one can be either a virtue or a vice depending on what other traits accompany it. And, interestingly, it is the vice which most closely answers to our ordinary conception of a great competitor. This accounts for our deep ambivalence about great competitors and implies that we should only seek to be great competitors in a qualified sense
