Clearing ethnic minority roadblocks to entry into the field of dietetics: A mixed analysis
No full textBackground - Dietitians are represented by fewer than 3% African Americans and 6% Hispanics compared with population demographics of 13% and 19% respectively. Despite 50 years of research on pipeline education, mentorship programs, cultural competency, and funding opportunities, minority participation in dietetics remains disproportionately low. At a time of increasing health care disparity, it is more important than ever to recruit and retain minorities in dietetics to optimally serve an ever increasingly diverse population.
Methods - 18 Historically Black Colleges and 26 high Hispanic census schools nationwide were contacted by email and follow-up phone call to explore and address ethnic barriers through dissemination of a pilot-study video production. Survey results were stored in Qualtrics and select questions analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square analysis.
Results – Barriers revealed include 51.7% of respondents were concerned about the cost and time commitment of RD graduate school. Another 59.78% of participants learned about RD graduate requirements very late in their college careers. After viewing the motivational video, 64% of respondents reported they were more likely to consider becoming an RD, and 89.7% replied the video helped improve their appreciation for the role of RD’s. Chi-Squared analysis of increased interest in attending dietetics graduate after viewing the video was c2 (1) = 2.698, r = .10.
Conclusion – Building a personal link with “People like me” and a connection with helping others through dietetics may be necessary to overcome minority barriers to entry into dietetics. Post-video responses indicate that providing program information early and building connection may the missing pieces needed to increase minority participation in dietetics
Exploring the perspectives of teenage tutors who tutor elementary students in a one-to-one reading tutoring program
Get PDFThere have been minimal studies on tutoring programs that pair elementary students with teenage tutors (Jacob et al., 2016). Innovative tutoring programs are important as student reading achievement has declined since the onset of COVID-19 and school systems face instructional staff shortages. Through the lens of Self Determination Theory, this study explored how tutor autonomy (Ryan & Deci, 2000) to choose instructional strategies and delivery methods influences student reading progress through one-to-one tutoring.
Centered in a constructivist world view, qualitative research methodology was used to explore the relationship between teenage tutors exercising autonomy when delivering a scripted reading curriculum and tutee reading achievement outcomes (Creswell, 2018). Observations, interviews, focus groups and document analysis were methods used in this study (Ravitch & Carl, 2019). The data collected in this study was triangulated to address ethical concerns. Procedures to maintain confidentiality were communicated to participants (Ravitch & Carl, 2019).
This study found that the ongoing training tutors received by certified instructional personnel influenced the level of autonomy exhibited by tutors to deliver reading tutoring. The themes found in this qualitative study reflected competence, autonomy, and relatedness tenets of Self Determination Theory.
The findings of this study may provide school districts insight on how to form successful tutoring partnerships and how to create work force opportunities for teenagers while simultaneously addressing limited instructional staff to provide one-to-one explicit reading intervention. Further relevant study is suggested to determine if the tutoring program influences teenage tutors to pursue a career in education
Process, structure, & property investigation of gallium-based metallic alloys processed at room temperature
Get PDFMetallic and intermetallic alloys are important in engineering, necessitating a thorough comprehension of their structure, processing, and properties. Amalgams are a class of alloy which are synthesized by various methods to produce diverse properties. Gallium-based amalgams, particularly gallium eutectic alloys, have low melting points, which allow for applications in dentistry and temperature sensitive electronics. This thesis investigates the process-structure-property relationships of gallium-based amalgams mixed with copper. Phases, microstructure, and diffusion processes are investigated using XRD and SEM. Adhesion strength and thermal properties are then correlated to these as well as process steps. This study contributes to advancing the understanding and application of gallium-based amalgams to various technological domain
