The Role of Teacher Self Disclosure in STEM Undergraduate Students’ Levels of Emotional and Behavioral Engagement
Get PDFThe available literature suggests that teacher self-disclosure and classroom engagement can play a significant positive role in the learning process across disciplines have classified the dimensions of teacher self-disclosure as amount, relevance, and negativity; however, few studies make use of these dimensions to examine their effects on classroom engagement among undergraduate students in STEM fields. This study addresses the following research question: What is the relationship between teacher self-disclosure and classroom engagement of undergraduate students enrolled in STEM courses? Participants in this study were undergraduate students enrolled in the three-semester First Year Research Immersion (FRI) program at Binghamton University (300 first year students and 260 second year students). The participants completed a survey that included questions about their experiences with instances of teacher self-disclosure, and their levels of emotional and behavioral engagement within the program. A relationship between the constructs was studied through structural equation modeling using IBM AMOS software. We hypothesized that perceptions of teacher self-disclosure of research mentors within the FRI program will have a significant direct relationship to undergraduate students\u27 levels of emotional and behavioral engagement. It is expected that findings from this study will generate recommendations that will contribute to the development of teaching and learning within higher education STEM research courses.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2021/1109/thumbnail.jp
Evaluating the role of transportation and potential barriers to food access in Binghamton’s North Side
Get PDFIn Binghamton, which is home to the Northside and First Ward food deserts, food insecurity is a significant community concern. Many emergency food aid networks operate in Binghamton, such as community pantries, the Binghamton Food Rescue, North Side Mutual Aid, and CHOW to address immediate needs; however, long-term food security requires removing barriers to food access, such as inadequate transportation. Food-insecure people without personal transportation either try to navigate public transportation, or choose to use more proximate outlets that may lack nutritious foods. Public transportation provided through the Broome County Bus System is limited in the scope of bus routes, schedules, and how many bags of groceries one can carry at once. To better understand how to improve public transportation for Binghamton’s Northside residents, and especially the food-insecure population, I study whether the Broome County Transit System adequately meets transportation needs for its Northside to facilitate food access. I identify limitations of the Broome County bus system by conversing with community members and people working in food aid, reviewing Census maps, and studying the transportation system in relation to the location of food outlets. I also survey shoppers at the newly-opened Greater Good Grocery, the first grocery in the Northside food desert since 1996, about their transportation and grocery needs. I find that those without personal transportation tend to rely on food aid, less nutritious food outlets, or more expensive services like Grubhub. The opening of the Greater Good Grocery seems to be a good first step to improve access to food in the Northside for those nearby without personal transportation. Targeted community transportation initiatives such as restructured bus and CHOW mobile market routes would help further improve food access, and protect those who may become food insecure because of unforeseen financial stresses
The Role of Motivation in Russian Heritage Language Learner Performance
Get PDFHeritage language learning is an interesting phenomenon that affects students of any heritage language. In this paper, I am putting my focus directly on Russian heritage language learners. Through research on pedagogical learning theories, students’ motivation to take heritage language courses, and current Russian heritage language learning studies, I am exploring the impact that motivation has on Russian heritage language learners’ performance in these specific courses, and some of the problems these students encounter in the classroom. This paper highlights the connections between motivations in learning and the specific problems Russian heritage language learners struggle with in the classroom, and offers suggestions towards improving HLL motivation
Addressing the Role of Climate Change in Agriculture and Mexico-US Immigration
Get PDFAmong the greatest threats of climate change is the significant impact on mass displacement, particularly as it relates to Mexico-US immigration. Low crop yields from worsening climate conditions have been linked to increased migration of Mexican farmers. With a projected 4.2 million additional migrants in the foreseeable future, it poses a contemporary environmental, social, and political dilemma. This policy brief analyzes several provision proposals to be adopted into the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), as evaluated under economic cost, equity, environmental impact, and feasibility criteria. My research concludes that the most effective and direct provision proposal is the implementation of adaptive farming to protect small-scale farmers against the adverse effects of climate change. The policy benefits both American and Mexican governments by mitigating financial losses from low crop yield, limiting Mexico-US immigration, and building climate resilience for farmers. This serves as a model for addressing the global increase of climate refugees and can help predict climate change-driven migration patterns in rural areas around the world

Radulomyces copelandii
Get PDFSaprobic; growing on decaying hardwood logs or standing dead trees, especially oak and maple. Growing year-round but usually preferring cooler temperatures, this fungus can be found in many areas of the world, including the United States, Canada, Japan, China, Korea and Russia. Fruiting bodies grow resupinate in the cracks of the wood they inhabit. No distinguishable cap, stem, or gills. Individual teeth are short, thin, and string-like appearing as light-tan to brown and usually occur in dense clusters. Individual teeth are approximately 1-2 cm long, but densely packed clusters can grow to 30 cm or more. COMMENTS: Distribution of this fungus is not well understood as it was only reported in the United States in 2009 (Roehl 2019) . Which region this fungus occurs in has not been well studied and future research is needed to properly understand its distribution. This species was once considered in the genera Radulodon but is now placed in Radulomyces (Nakasone 2001). - common name Asian beauty.
