Implementation Of Technology In The Foreign Language Classroom
Get PDFThe domain of foreign language learning (FLL) is critical to modern education because it allows learners to integrate with the global community in a meaningful way and offers a multitude of advantages to graduates and professionals (Akbar, 2015; Hampel, 2015). The intersection of technology implementation in foreign language education was this study\u27s central area of interest (Carrio Pastor, 2016). This study sought to examine technology implementation in foreign language (FL) classrooms within the context of higher education. The study examined the views, opinions, and beliefs of FL educators about the role of technology in FL education and possible obstacles to technology implementation.
The goal of the study was to accentuate educators\u27 views because they are the main factor in the process of education and are uniquely qualified to make judgments about the role of technology in FL. Two research questions guided the qualitative case study: (1) How do FL educators describe structural issues existing within the context of foreign language teaching that inhibit the implementation of technology? (2) What contributions (improvements, innovations) relative to technology do FL educators perceive as potentially beneficial? To answer these questions, data were collected with semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and the literature review findings. The data analysis process resulted in six primary themes: (1) Technology is a complement to the curriculum, (2) Using technology to reach a broader audience, (3) Using technology in class depends on motivation and expectations, (4) Training as a key issue for educators, (5) The pace of technology development is a key issue, (6) Technology as a factor that limits interaction.
This study found that training appears to be a central point of concern for all respondents, and the evidence from the literature also points to this. Successful technology implementation necessitates institutional emphasis on training and resourcing that would support faculty throughout the process of implementation
Examining The Delivery Methods Of Current Content And Curriculum For Recruit Police Officers
Get PDFThis qualitative-interpretive, phenomenological analysis study describes the lived experiences of police officers, their training programs and their educational relationships with academy instructors and field training officers. The focus was not on content material, but rather the delivery methods of the curriculum, in an attempt to provide training programs that improve transference of knowledge for increased learning and job preparedness. This research study showed that a lack of knowledge and understanding of andragogy for police academy instructors and field training officers is creating a limited learning environment for recruit police officers. Without the knowledge and ability to use better forms of instruction, police academy instructors and field training officers have leaned heavily on PowerPoint-based lectures and using recruit police officers\u27 failures as the primary mode of instruction after the fact. There is, however, a clear desire from the participants of this study to improve their skills as educators, create more opportunities for practice, and further develop mentorship possibilities. This research also makes it clear that the participants desire an opportunity to practice the skills they are learning, that there are important mentorship and leadership opportunities for police academy instructors and field training officers, and that completing a higher education degree program prior to attending the police academy may help foster learning and graduation from the police academy

One Foot in Front of the Other: A Reflection on New Year’s Eve 2020
Get PDFThis vignette began as a reflection I wrote for my own benefit on New Year\u27s eve. Hoping to process all that had happened in the year, I looked back upon the journey through 2020 including my transition to medical school and the challenges I faced as student and parent. It is a piece of my own story of growth and learning as I press forward to become the physician I have long hoped to be. At the time of submission, my success on this journey seems more likely than not, although I know there will be many more obstacles along the way

The Influences On And Experiences Of Underrepresented Minority Females In One Southeastern United States Medical School
Get PDFRepresentation in enrollment of African American female and Latina students is inconsistent with the demographic makeup across the United States. Exploring the experiences of current and past students at one southeastern medical school assisted in determining a possible cause for that underrepresentation. Two questions guided this study: (1) How do underrepresented minority (URM) females describe their decision to pursue medical education? (2) How did cultural, societal, or familial experiences or expectations influence these URM females to pursue medical education? This study employed an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis methodology with a Critical Race Feminism framework to gather the stories of female medical students from those URM backgrounds. Significant findings include a strong support system within an academically intense family, a strong maternal role-model, financial constraints, a need for more science, technology, engineering, and math programs during formative education, and a desire for community within academia. These findings also suggest a need for reconsideration of intersectionality and anti-essentialism within pipeline programs and the approach that medical schools take to recruiting. Incorporating those changes will ultimately increase proportionate representation of minority females within US medical schools
The Impact Of Administrative Support For Dental Hygiene And Nursing Online Faculty
Get PDFThis study examined online faculty in dental hygiene and nursing baccalaureate degree completion programs and their experiences with online education in the area of administrative support. The purpose of this study was to investigate the types of administrative support systems needed for dental hygiene and nursing faculty to teach in baccalaureate degree completion programs in New York State, which offer more than 50% of their curriculum online. The objective of this study was to provide leaders in institutions of higher learning with insight and aid in reaching the goal of improving dental hygiene and nursing online programs. A total of 17 accredited baccalaureate degree completion programs in New York State (15 nursing and two dental hygiene) were included in this study. Faculty members represented in this study were female (n=7), mostly at the assistant professor rank (n=6), teaching in academia for a range of years of one to ten years of online teaching experience, and mostly over 50 years of age. The data revealed that all the faculty respondents received online course development training and reported having adequate support services in the form of technology assistance/help desk. Yet, three respondents felt they needed more training with course management tools. Additionally, faculty with 11+ years in academia and teaching online 4 years or more (n=4) felt there is a lack of support concerning policy and standardization, property rights and course ownership. There were concerns about lack of recognition of greater workload and time commitment for online teaching at their institution. Examining the impact of administrative support for dental hygiene and nursing online faculty can enable administrators to meet the needs of online faculty and increase teaching effectiveness in the online learning environment. Moreover, understanding the challenges that online faculty face with faculty incentives for online teaching, workload valued for tenure and additional compensation, policy that addresses intellectual property rights and course ownership, and increased faculty training and professional development with technology tools for online course development will enable institutions of higher education to develop strategies for continuous administrative support and ultimately improve online teaching and learning
Leadership Style And Subordinate Work Stress
Get PDFThe purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the work stress perceived by public safety dispatchers and determine whether the supervisor’s leadership style played a role in the stress experienced. Research showed, and evidence suggested, that many stress-related symptoms at work occur because of unhealthy supervisor-subordinate relationships (Skakon, Nielsen, Borg, & Guzman, as cited in Belanger et al., 2016). Previous researchers found that a leader with a toxic, laissez-faire, or destructive leadership style increased the stress experienced by the employee (Syed, Rehman, & Kitchlew, 2018) while a supervisor with a transformational leadership style decreased the stress (Abbasi, 2018). Pishgooie, Atashzadeh‐Shoorideh, Falcó‐Pegueroles, and Lotfi (2019) found a significant correlation between job stress and laissez-faire leadership among nurses. An employee’s health is affected when dealing with work stress (Toderi & Balducci, 2018; Zoeckler, 2017) and their health decreases or worsens (Gluschkoff, Elovainio, Kinnunen, Mullola, Hintsanen, Keltikangas-Järvinen, & Hintsa, 2016). Two research questions were asked: “How do public safety dispatchers report their experiences associated with job-related stress?” and “How do public safety dispatchers perceive their supervisor’s approach to leadership impacts their job-related stress?” This research used the effort-reward imbalance model and organizational justice theory as the theoretical framework. Two instruments were used as part of the data gathering: the Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire. These two instruments together helped to answer the research questions through descriptive statistics. Social media were used to recruit participants who were public safety dispatchers working in the United States. A literature review indicated this topic was worth investigating. This researcher hoped to bridge the gap in the literature, as this type of research in the dispatch center was not located. The study found public safety dispatchers experienced job stress as indicated by the ER ratio and rated their supervisors as more passive-avoidant than the norm. The researcher recommends that agencies take care with whom they promote to a supervisory role, as supervisors affect the lives of their subordinates and the agency itself
