Social-Emotional Learning Integration in Italian Classrooms
No full textThis study examines how social-emotional learning (SEL) is integrated into Italian classrooms. Specifically, what types of SEL goals, activities, or practices are implemented within the curriculum. The methods used to collect data included reading and analyzing the blogs of other participants of IPDS Siena. Prior to my travels, during my time in Siena, and after returning to the United States, I wrote my own blog posts that have allowed me to reflect on the SEL techniques used in my mentor teacher’s classroom. I also collected field notes while in the school to evaluate how my mentor incorporated and prioritized social emotional learning in her classroom. I conversed with her to gather information on more ways social emotional learning is being applied in other parts of the school year as well as other classrooms in addition to what I had seen in my own placement.https://digitalcommons.buffalostate.edu/ipds_research/1013/thumbnail.jp
Art Teacher Burnout and The Condition of The Art Educator in Schools
No full textThe purpose of this study is to identify the commonalities of reasons and factors that drive art educators to have feelings of stress and burnout. This study will also identify practical solutions that art educators can implement in their careers to alleviate stress and burnout. By using an ethnographic approach, I can focus on the communal aspect of art teachers in their school community to be able to pinpoint what the commonalities are across a group of participants. Participants in this study are art teachers who have self-identified as having feelings of burnout.
The overall findings of this study are how every part of an art teacher’s day is filled with stressors. From before arrival to after dismissal, art teachers are over-exerting themselves to be able to succeed in their careers.
In conclusion, art teachers need to be more prioritized in their school community, not only in morale support but in advocacy. The significance of this study is to have real art teachers give their insight on what can be done either personally or on a large administrative scale to improve the work conditions of art teachers
Parkinson\u27s disease and voice perception: A little bit louder now!
Full text linkThis proposed study aims to address gaps in research literature on Parkinson’s disease by investigating the neural mechanisms involved in PD patients\u27 perception of volume using electroencephalography (EEG). By examining brain activity during voice perception tasks, the research seeks to uncover specific areas within the brain that may contribute to the lack of awareness of speaking softly. Insights gained from this study could inform the development of targeted interventions to improve communication and overall quality of life for PD patients. Ultimately, the research aims to provide a louder voice to those affected by Parkinson\u27s disease, enhancing their ability to engage in meaningful communication and social interactions
Exploring Interoception - An Essential Skill of Exceptional Self-Leadership
Full text linkResearch into interoception, the awareness of the body’s inner state, suggests that the body is the true star in the mind-body relationship. Interceptive findings suggest that when we pay attention to our physical sensations – twinges, tingles, a quickening heartbeat – we have a depth of information now available to us that enhances our self-awareness and self-leadership. This paper is the result of exploring the theory and practice of developing interoceptive awareness and its implications for self-leadership
Catching up to Yesterday: An argument for a practical application of creativity for inspiring change from a content-based course delivery to a 21st-century skills-based delivery
Full text linkThis project is a creative vision for how college-level courses could be changed to deliver the most important skills students need in the 21st century—moving toward an essential employability skills-based delivery process while training vocational (content) skills. Technology is outpacing humans\u27 ability to adapt and adopt to it, making it increasingly difficult to keep pace with technological change. This has wide-ranging effects on each of us – productively, emotionally, and perhaps physically. Colleges are at the forefront of educating citizens about the working world to improve their productivity, incomes and their sense of intrinsic motivation. However, these same colleges are finding decreasing levels of self-motivation, increasing recidivism and attrition rates, and higher levels of anxiety, both with students and other stakeholders.
While we cannot change the rate of technological change, we can change the rate at which we adapt and adopt to it, and this is the foundation of this project—to suggest a relatively simple adjustment within the classroom: We become more focused on employability skills and use content as the medium to teach these skills.
I hope this project may inspire current and future faculty to reconsider their approach to teaching within the classroom and perhaps motivate some institutions to consider the process worthy of a deeper investigation into innovative course delivery
The Reveal: A Technical Study and Conservation Treatment of an Overpaint Portrait
Full text linkA severely damaged 19th-century oil painting depicting a portrait of a woman was treated at Patricia H. and E. Garman Art Conservation Department. A typed letter provided by the owner mentioned that it has been previously restored yet returned with unsatisfactory results. After further examination, the painting appeared to have been previously treated multiple times by different people. There was overpaint distinctly present on the face and later discovered to be present overall. The full state of condition of the painting was initially unknown due to the sum of the surface being overpainted. However, there were evidence of paint loss and abrasions in areas where the overpaint was previously removed. The main goal of the treatment was to determine a suitable conservation method to safely remove/reduce the extensive overpaint without disturbing the original painting underneath. Scientific materials analysis including cross-section analysis, M-transmission Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy, and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and multimodal imaging was used to identifying the materials present in the artwork, differentiate the original paint layers from overpaint and help guide the overpaint removal. Historical research was conducted to provide additional context surrounding the woman in the portrait. The treatment was successful and the artwork is now in stable structural condition and improved aesthetical condition
Fostering Creativity in the Workplace: Unlocking the Power of Diversity Through Psychological Safety
Full text linkWith a growing recognition of the advantages associated with forming culturally and cognitively diverse teams, understanding the crucial role of psychological safety in leveraging diversity for creativity and innovation is paramount. Additionally, since leaders establish the tone of the workplace culture, it\u27s crucial to ensure they possess the necessary expertise to lead inclusively to establish psychological safety. This project aims to meet the demand for skill development by producing a facilitator guide and workshop presentation. These resources are designed to empower workshop leaders with the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to facilitate a workshop with the goal to promote workplace psychological safety. By fostering a culture of psychological safety, diverse teams can harness their collective power to drive creativity and innovation
The Pedagogy of Play in Teaching of Reading: Low Tech and High Tech Interactive Reading Methods
Full text linkPlay is essential to the healthy growth and development of children. As children play, they explore new roles, try out new ideas, and bond with each other. Play increases language, cognitive, and social skills. How can the power of play be harnessed and shaped for educational purposes? How can teachers infuse play into the classroom to improve reading and related language skills?
Teaching reading requires a combination of teaching skills but also requires ways to motivate students to read. Whatever the reading level or ability, most students will enjoy reading and read more often when they connect to the text in one way or another. Not all reading material that students read in school is enticing to them. Play-based methods and play integration have the potential to increase motivation and engagement with the reading if used flexibly with the student in mind. Also, play-based methodologies are student-centered by nature.
This article will establish the value and purpose of play-based instruction to understand more about integrating play into reading with low-tech and high-tech approaches
