Get PDFThe present study examines whether there has been a change in the portrayal of female criminal investigators over the past two decades. Cultivation Theory suggests that media profoundly impacts the views of the larger society, thus indicating significant implications of this portrayal. Five popular shows (Chicago P.D., Criminal Minds, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Hawaii Five-O, and Law & Order: SVU) were explored with 200 episodes examined between the series using a mixed-methods approach. The main characters in each show’s first and most recent seasons were coded and analyzed. Characters were coded for depth, authority, helplessness, and sexualization, among other variables. The percentage of women as main characters across the shows increased from 27.59% to 37.84% between 1998 and 2022. More specifically, 0% of characters who led the fictional investigative team in the first seasons were women and 40% were women in the later seasons. These findings suggest that the representation of women in crime dramas has improved as the years have progressed, though they are still seen as subordinate to their male counterparts. The improvement in the representation of female investigators demonstrates to young girls that they can join the law enforcement profession and fosters more respect for the work of female investigators who currently work in the investigative field
Effects of facemasks and virtual lecture environments on speech recall
Get PDFDue to the Covid-19 pandemic, schools often required that students and faculty wear face masks in the classroom or attend virtual class. The current study focused on the impact of face visibility in the classroom and virtual lectures on students’ recall for spoken information. Traditionally aged college students participated in live and virtual lecture environments with both masked and unmasked speaker stimuli. The researchers hypothesized that scores on a recall post-test for unmasked, individual lectures would be higher than post-test scores for the masked individual lecture or group lecture conditions. However, results revealed no differences between conditions. These findings are significant for determining if students’ learning experience is directly affected by the presence of facemasks in the classroom
Technological Change in a Pandemic Educational Landscape
Get PDFThe aim of this paper was to determine through prior research what the state of Indiana schools were pre-pandemic regarding technology use, distribution, and training. Furthermore, it utilized both research and data collection to understand the relationships between pandemic-induced technological change, the preparedness of Indiana schools to meet this change, and what the aftereffects were on educational systems in the state. There was also an analysis on what trends were more effective than others and which trends best benefited students pre, during, and post-pandemic. Bountiful research on this subject and data that analyzed trends in Hoosier households already existed. Unfortunately, the data collection for this specific project was not as robust as it could have been. Therefore, the already published data serves as a backbone for supporting certain trends and conclusions, while the survey data gives an indication of specific issues facing a few Indiana schools, as well as potential areas of inquiry for further research
