VEX-U Robotics
Get PDFEvery year, the ONU Robotics Team participates in the VEX U competition. The VEX U college and university competition has more than 300 teams competing annually. Based on the VEX Robotics Competition, VEX U teams are allowed more customization and greater flexibility than other grade levels while providing the effective costs and real-world limitations of a restricted development environment. The competition changes every school year (also referred as season) to provide new challenges for the teams. In the 2021-2022 season, the name of the competition is Tipping Point. Tipping Point is played on a 12’x12’ square field. Two Alliances – one (1) “red” and one (1) “blue” – composed of two Teams each, compete in matches consisting of a fifteen-second Autonomous Period, followed by a Driver Controlled Period of one minute and forty-five seconds. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing Alliance by Scoring Rings, moving Mobile Goals to Alliance Zones, and by Elevating on Platforms at the end of a Match. The project for the ONU Robotics Team will be to build the robots and participate in the regional qualifiers of the VEX U competition, which is held in the Spring of 2022

Exam Overconfidence and Exam Performance Over Time
No full textStudents can be overconfident on exams (Foster et al., 2016). This study assesses whether exam overconfidence changes over time. We also examine the relationship between overconfidence and exam performance. Undergraduates (n = 71; Mage = 20.8 years; 79% female; 77% White) forecasted exam grades before and after the first two exams in a course. Overconfidence was operationalized as any predicted score greater than the actual exam score (overprediction). Exams were worth 100 points each. Results suggest that exam overconfidence may decrease somewhat over time. In addition, overconfident students tend score lower on exams than students who underpredict their scores
Special Educator of the Year Award Presentation and Teacher Panel
No full textThe Special Education program has worked in conjunction with the Kankakee Area Special Education Symposium (KASES), founded by Dr. Brian Stipp, to identify and connect with leading special educators in the community who are impacting the lives of learners and colleagues. Each year, KASES recognizes two area special educators-- a veteran educator and a novice educator--with a Special Educator of the Year Award. This presentation will include the unveiling of a video created by the ONU Media Team highlighting the work of each award recipient. Following the presentation of the awards, students who are currently special education majors will present questions about the role of a special educator in today’s schools, which the award recipients will answer. This session will include an open invitation to the friends, family, and colleagues of the award recipients
Racial Acceptance and Behavior Incidents While Being Educated in an Elementary Dual-Language Classroom
Get PDFDistricts and schools are not looking at the data on racial judgments, segregation, and neighborhood quality, along with children’s friendship choices, open-mindedness, and social emotional factors to fully understand and educate others on the benefits of multiculturalism. This case study describes the impact that English-only classrooms and two-way dual language classrooms have on racial acceptance and behavior incidents for kindergarten, first, and second graders in a school located in a Midwest suburb. In utilizing The Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Ruffle, 2000) and Office Discipline Referrals (ODRs) to determine specific behavior problems and the Modified Subtle and Blatant Prejudice Scale to determine racial judgements; both independent-samples t tests and one-way ANOVAs were run, depending on the research question. The impact that English-only classrooms and two-way dual language classrooms have on racial acceptance and behavior incidents for kindergarten, first, and second graders in a school located in a Midwest suburb are evident in both social-emotional and behavior factors. Specifically, students who are enrolled in dual-language are less likely to exhibit anxiety and depression according to their teachers’ reports. Along with this, they are less likely to demonstrate rule-breaking behavior and internal behavior issues. Lastly, students who are enrolled in both dual language and general education, and also exhibit higher prejudice are more likely to receive Office Discipline Referrals. Students who are in dual-language demonstrated an even higher likelihood of this pattern
Multicultural Realities: A Call to Diversify the Unity of the Church
Get PDFWith the advent of modernization and globalization, the social landscape of our world has been rapidly changing. Urbanization and new patterns of migration have contributed to the formation of a complex tapestry of cultural plurality. As a result, the social fabric of society has undergone a swift transformation, challenging Christians to continually think about their faith in new ways. Perhaps like never before, in the last few decades America has seen large new multicultural populations emerge. It does not take a social scientist to recognize that our world is diverse, our cities and towns are changing, and our schools and workplaces are very different than they used to be. This article explores the ways in which multicultural congregations can be sustained and utilized as an expression of Kingdom work
