Human-AI Collaboration in Writing: A Multidimensional Framework for Creative and Intellectual Authorship
Full text linkThe integration of AI technologies into the writing process has significantly altered traditional notions of authorship, creativity, and intellectual labor. Historically, writing was seen as a human-driven cognitive and creative exercise, but with the rise of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude, the line between human and AI contributions has become increasingly ambiguous. This paper addresses the limitations of the current sliding scale model, which views AI involvement as ranging from “none” to “complete”. In its place, we propose a new multidimensional framework that more accurately reflects the complexity of human-AI collaboration in writing. The model includes axes for content generation, structural assistance, creative input, and analytical contribution, emphasizing the varying degrees of interaction between human writers and AI tools. This framework highlights how AI can assist in different aspects of writing without fully replacing human agency, while also underscoring the importance of ethical and intellectual accountability. By providing a more comprehensive understanding of the collaborative dynamics between humans and AI, this paper offers a foundation for future research into optimizing these interactions in creative and academic contexts
Exploring the Leadership Identity Development of Emerging Leaders Who Have Answered the Call to Academic Administration within U.S. Higher Education
Full text linkLeadership identity (also known as leader identity) has been established as a sub-identity of general self-concept. A greater degree of leadership identity could have implications for leadership self-efficacy. Research on leadership identity development in the last 20 years has mostly been quantitative with limited qualitative efforts. Exploring the leadership identity development of academic leaders remains mostly absent from the literature. Using the Leadership Identity Development Model, a descriptive qualitative study was conducted with cohort members of two national academic leadership development programs, the Food Systems Leadership Institute and LEAD21. Interviews explored participants’ leadership identity development during their careers leading up to their current roles in university administration. A variety of themes emerged including mentorship, reflection, training and developmental needs, and the change in their self-concept as academic leaders. The results of this study suggest that emerging academic leaders are advancing to a more differentiated view of leadership, though this process is not necessarily linear. Recommendations include further research with this population and others, particularly administrators at 1890 land-grants and non-land-grant universities. Additional work exploring the role of gender in leadership identity development, specifically among female university administrators, is also suggested
Algebra I End-of-Course Exam Differences by the At-Risk Status of Texas Hispanic Students: A Multiyear Statewide Investigation
Full text linkExamined in this investigation was a comparison of the Algebra I End-of-Course exam performance between Hispanic students who were at-risk and Hispanic students who were not at-risk in the 2016-2017, 2017-2018, and 2018-2019 school years. Inferential statistical procedures yielded statistically significant differences in all three school years between these two groups of Hispanic students. In all three school years, higher percentages of Hispanic students who were at-risk did not meet the three grade level standards (i.e., Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level) than Hispanic students who were not at-risk. Moreover, Hispanic students who were at-risk correctly answered about 12 items less correctly than Hispanic students who were not at-risk. Implications and recommendations for future research were made
Understanding Cyberbullying Behavior Pre- and Post-COVID-19: A Qualitative Assessment with Application to Missouri Policy
Full text linkCyberbullying is a form of abuse that has become more prevalent with the increased use of social media and advancements in technology. The current study aimed to evaluate cyberbullying behavior and its impact on society before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in addition to understanding Missouri policy within these two time frames. The variables included for the study were cyberbullying behavior/perpetration, cyber victimization, and demographics including age, gender, and race. A content analysis was conducted to examine the literature involving the aforementioned variables pre- and post-COVID. Each variable was separated into prior and current information sections to examine the literature more closely. In addition, general strain theory was applied to better explain how strain directly contributes to cyberbullying behavior. The qualitative analysis provided insight into the increased presence of cyberbullying behavior after COVID-19. Practical implications were also included to address the steps necessary to reduce cyberbullying behaviors. Furthermore, a section on federal and state laws on cyberbullying was also included to better address how cyberbullying is addressed within the state
Restoring Trust: What the Missouri Supreme Court and Andragogy Can Teach the United States Supreme Court
Full text linkConfidence in the United States Supreme Court has reached an all-time low. Efforts by the Court to restore confidence, such as making a statement concerning ethics and adopting a non-binding code of conduct, seem ineffectual in restoring confidence. Andragogy, the art and science of teaching adults, may prove useful in helping to restore confidence in the Supreme Court. As the Supreme Court educates adults through its decisions, it may utilize and adapt andragogical concepts within the confines of the judicial setting to help restore confidence in its decisions and operations. The Missouri Supreme Court has implemented a number of andragogically-consistent concepts in its operations that help build and maintain trust. The United States Supreme Court can look to the Missouri Supreme Court to rebuild trust in its operations
