Preschool Teacher Practices And Beliefs About Digital Technology Use In Classrooms
No full textThe focus of this dissertation centers around the beliefs that early educationteachers hold regarding the role digital technology plays in the learning and development of young children and how those beliefs are implemented in the classroom. Although there is some previous research on this topic not enough is known about digital technology beliefs and practices at the preschool level. Thus, the focus of this dissertation centers around including the "voices of preschool teachers." Using a mixed methods approach via survey and selected follow-up interviews, 100 preschool teachers expressed their beliefs and practices about digital technology use.Three groupings emerged; one group that favored using technology with young children, one group that favored technology use but with limitations, and a final group that did not see any benefit in using technology with young children. Preschool teachers also related the role technology may play in the learning and development of young children and
levels of technology access. Almost all teachers reported that they had access to at least one electronic device; children's access, however, was much more limited. Lived experiences as teachers worked through the COVID-19 pandemic were also reported. Many teachers found that they were able to form better connections with parents and families via an electronic format, often at times that were more convenient for parents to talk. Teachers also reported learning how to use various types of digital technology during the COVID-19 pandemic and they reported continuing to implement what they had learned. Teachers' beliefs about technology use in classrooms by teacher demographics were tested to detect whether there were differences between the three belief groupings. The results indicated that when teachers received technology support they were more likely to have favorable beliefs about technology use

Critical Voices: Selections from the Hall Collection
No full textCatalog of an exhibition held at the Oakland University Art Gallery, September 9 - November 20, 2022. Contains foreword and essay by Leo Barnes.Excerpt from foreword by Leo Barnes: My relationship with the Hall Art Foundation developed over the five years I worked there from 2012 to 2017. The artworks, collected by Andrew and Christine Hall, present a unique index of the best contemporary art of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The collection, heavily infused in particular with the work of German and American artists, is a fascinating entrée into the contemporary visual arts in both cultures
A Bayesian Network Based Approach Toward An Anticipatory Safety Reasoning System Autonomous Vehicle Copilot
No full textFuture ground vehicle transportation is expected to rely heavily on autonomous mobility. However, the technical progress required to ensure a completely safe autonomous vehicle for unlimited roadway use, and reliable ways to measure its safety, is behind expectations. It is believed that a research breakthrough is required to address this gap. This dissertation defines a novel method for addressing on-road autonomous vehicle safety, explicitly focusing on unsignalized intersections. A method is described to generate an anticipatory safety copilot to assist the autonomous system with motion decisions by combining data collected from global online sources and the local autonomous vehicle sensors. This anticipatory copilot reasons about the environment around the autonomous vehicle and projects the vehicle's real-time motion intent forward into a projected future version of the environment created via features from the combined local and global source information. Based on this processed information, the copilot anticipates the probabilistic success of the autonomous vehicle safely executing its intended action
