Developing Better Instructors Using the Principles to Actions Professional Learning Toolkit
Get PDFThis research report documents how a group of mathematics teacher educators collaborated to use the Principles to Actions (NCTM, 2014) (PtA) Professional Learning Toolkit in their classes, the tools they used to measure development in the future teachers, and the findings from the study. In keeping with other studies, using “effective mathematics teaching practices” as defined by Principles to Actions brought about changes in the beliefs of preservice elementary mathematics teachers toward best practices for teaching mathematics. There is hope that the benefits of seeing those instructional practices used by elementary classroom teachers through the PtA Toolkit videos help develop new commitments toward effective mathematics teaching practices in future educators

Cultivating the Self-Awareness of Global Students: The Role of Communities of Practice
Get PDFResearch on the impact of leadership education programs on undergraduate students has demonstrated that cultivating self-awareness is foundational to developing other leadership capabilities. Yet, scant research has been undertaken to understand the impact of leadership education on global students. For the sake of this research, global students include any undergraduate student who had spent a significant portion of their development years outside the country of higher education. As such, global students include international students as well as other globally mobile students such as children of international military personnel, businesspeople, and religious workers. This qualitative research sought to understand how global students cultivated self-awareness. Findings indicated that global students negotiated their sense of self through processing interpersonal messaging provided by others in multiple spheres of influence. The experiences of these global students demonstrate the importance of providing an intercultural community of practice in cultivating the self-awareness of global students

The Lived Religious Experience of Black Students at a Southeastern CCCU Institution
Get PDFThe overall purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand the religious experiences of Black students at a Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) institution. The researcher interviewed 22 participants at a private Christian university and analyzed the data using in vivo coding, constant comparison, and thematic analysis. Findings suggest formal religious activities that are required and presumed by the institution to be nurturing can have the opposite effect for some Black students at the institution. The researcher identified three major themes regarding how Black students perceive and experience religious activity. The themes provide helpful insight regarding participants’ thoughts related to dissatisfaction and concerns, acknowledgment of personal growth, and feedback on religious programming. The themes are presented and discussed along with implications for practice
