Exploratory Study of Students’ Creative Mindset, Perceived Values of Open Educational Resources, and Flow
No full textAs the awareness, benefits, and adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) in various fields have increased, so have efforts to conduct research on its impact on students learning behaviors, experience, and engagement. However, limited research has been conducted regarding the efficacy of using OER on students’ perceived enjoyment in learning and interactions with educational materials. This study aimed to examine the relationships between creative mindset, flow experience, and perceived values of OER among 88 online undergraduate students. First, results revealed that students who have a growth-oriented creative mindset are more likely to understand and embrace OER’s intrinsic worth. Their willingness to learn new things and creative thinking fit in nicely with the OER tenets of accessibility, cooperation, and ongoing development. In addition, students reporting higher flow levels—characterized by control, attention, curiosity, and intrinsic interest—perceived greater value in OER materials. This indicates that the design and implementation of OER should consider the content and how it interacts with users to maximize engagement and flow. These findings emphasize the importance of a strategic approach to OER integration for educators and institutions, focusing on both resource quality and pedagogical frameworks that support its use. Ensuring OER materials engage and foster creative, and growth mindsets can significantly enhance students’ learning experience and academic enjoyment

Full text linkThe Effects of Cannabinoids on Migration-Related Protein Expression in Ewing’s Sarcoma
Full text linkEwing’s sarcoma is an aggressive pediatric bone cancer that has low five-year survival rates, primarily due to metastatic disease and resistance of recurring tumors to traditional treatment options; therefore, novel treatment options are needed. The compound cannabidiol (CBD) has been shown to reduce cell viability, migration, and invasion in several tumor types, though the cellular mechanism of action is not well understood. Our lab has demonstrated the ability of CBD to reduce viability, migration, and invasion of Ewing’s sarcoma cells in vitro and is investigating differential protein and cytokine expression of known mediators of migration, such as intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), to help elucidate the cellular pathways responsible for these observed effects. Several factors are known to have increased expression in metastatic Ewing’s sarcoma, including ICAM-1 and IL-6. Therefore, we investigated the effects of CBD on expression levels of these proteins in Ewing’s sarcoma cells. This research may lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of CBD and the usefulness of medical cannabis as a potential therapeutic option for aggressive pediatric cancers
