A Look at Diversity Through the Lens of Universal Design for Learning and Differentiated Instruction to Better Educate Learners
Get PDFIn addition to the COrona VIrus Disease (COVID) gap, the teacher shortage, and increasing accountability, schools and classrooms continue to grow more and more diverse. This diversity presents its own set of challenges as teachers are expected to meet the needs of all learners. In addition to linguistic, religious, gender, sexual preference, race, socioeconomic status, and family structure diversity, students bring their varied culture and prior experiences to the classroom, and this impacts learning. This article presents a critical review of literature that examines Universal Design for Learning and Differentiated Instruction to address the instructional challenges diversity can create. It also provides a practical application of Universal Design to address the confusion that often exists regarding Universal Design for Learning and Differentiated Instruction. It makes clear the similarities and differences between the two, stresses their complimentary nature, and details their effectiveness as proactive and responsive practices that should be implemented in classrooms to meet the needs of all learners
Impact of COVID-19 on Student Preparedness in Introductory English Composition Courses
Get PDFThe rapid spread of COVID-19, which lead to a global pandemic, caused educational systems to switch from face-to-face learning to some form of online or remote delivery. This abrupt change in learning may have impacted students’ ability to be successful in college. The purpose of this study was to compare the passage rate of students enrolled in an English composition course before the spread of COVID-19 and after the spread of COVID-19. This study used Deci and Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory, which looks at how people adapt to changes in their surroundings, and Astin’s Student Involvement Theory, which looks at people’s involvement with their environment and the success that comes from this involvement. The sample of this study consisted of students enrolled in an introductory English composition course at an Historically Black College or University from fall 2018 to fall 2021. The chi-squared test of independence was used to determine a possible association between course passage rates and the spread of COVID-19. Analysis showed a possible relationship between successfully passing an introductory English course and the spread of COVID-19 when looking at first-time freshmen
Perceptions Of Youth And Young Adults’ Encounters With The Police
Get PDFPolice officers rely on citizen cooperation to effectively perform their job duties. Studies have shown that many encounters between police and youth are influenced by extralegal factors, such as police perceptions of youths\u27 attitudes and youth perceptions of police. In the last 10 years in the United States, too many youths have experienced excessive police force, resulting in serious physical injuries or death. The current study explored the perceptions of youth and young adults regarding their encounters with the police in the United States using largely unexplored datasets, which adds to its uniqueness from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) police–public contact surveys (PPCS) conducted in 2018 and 2020. The study drew on Austin Turk\u27s theory of norm resistance (1969) and the model of police legitimacy process by Mazerolle et al. (2013). Various statistical analyses, including the chi-square test of independence, binary logistic regression, and multinomial logistic regression, addressed five research questions and tested eight hypotheses.
The findings suggested that young adults, aged 18-24 years, from a lower socioeconomic status had more odds of being satisfied with the police than the reference category youth of (16-17 years). The higher socioeconomic status, those from families with incomes of $75,000 or more, category significantly affected willingness to cooperate with the police. Youth and young adults who encountered medium levels of aggression from the police were more likely to be dissatisfied with the police.
Compared to a male officer, when youth and young adults interacted with a female police officer, they were less likely to select the just as likely to contact category concerning the more likely to contact category. Satisfaction with the police, willingness to cooperate with the police, and specific levels of police aggression were all found to have a significant association with the likelihood of contacting the police in the future. The study\u27s findings provide valuable insights into how young people perceive their interactions with police officers. This information benefits individuals in the criminal justice field, including students, academics, and policy experts, seeking comprehensive data and a broader understanding of the topic.
