Efficacy of Spanish Audio-Supported Second Language Vocabulary Learning in a Single Case Study
Get PDFThis study examines the effectiveness of an intervention utilizing audio-supports for bilingual vocabulary learning. Method: Nine target vocabulary words from English story books were selected, which were then pre-recorded in Spanish (L2) as audio files to be used during readings in the home language (L1). This single case study examined the feasibility of audio support in early bilingual vocabulary learning by examining previous literature, and data collected on the gain in vocabulary learning at intervention post-test. Results: It was found that L2 audio support in an L1 reading context can provide an environment for vocabulary gain. It supplied numerous exposures to words and the chance to transfer their literacy skills to the L2, giving a foundation for an emergent bilingual. Discussion: This study highlights the capabilities of technology to further provide opportunities for bilingualism through everyday activities such as reading and utilizing resources already available to educators

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Chronic Health Conditions in Black Individuals
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and chronic health conditions among Black individuals of different genders. The study employs quantitative research methods and utilizes secondary data analysis on the 2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation, range, and inferential statistics, such as correlation analyses, independent groups t-tests, ANOVA, and Chi-square tests. This research revealed a statistically significant finding that Black individuals with an ACE score of 4+ have more chronic health conditions overall, and females with high-risk ACEs had more chronic health conditions than males with high-risk ACEs. The current study provides further examination into the associations between ACEs and chronic health conditions in Black individuals, as there is a considerable lack of such in the current literature and profession. Future research on this relationship can contribute to trauma-informed practices and an understanding of intersectionality in individuals being served
Black Girls in School: The Harmful Effects of Dehumanization and Disciplinary Inequities
Get PDFBlack girls in the U.S. experience dehumanization through adultification and sexual objectification that impact disciplinary practices in the education system. Adultification stereotypes Black girls as more mature, less innocent, and less in need of protection, which results in harsher disciplinary actions and limited empathy from educators. At the same time, sexual objectification reinforces harmful perceptions of Black girls\u27 sexuality and culpability in their sexual violence victimization. The “Jezebel” and “Angry Black Woman” stereotypes continue to influence how Black girls are perceived as either hypersexual or aggressive. These biases and stereotypes contribute to disproportionate disciplinary measures, particularly subjective infractions like “defiance” or “disrespect,” which disproportionately remove Black girls from the classroom, negatively impacting their academic and social development. This paper examines the connections and effects of adultification, sexual objectification, and disciplinary practices

Sexual and Bystander Sexual Harassment Experiences Among Part-time Female Employees: Testing an Interactive Model
Get PDFThe current research investigated the impact of sexual and bystander harassment on work-related attitudes, work behaviors, and psychological health. Participants included 314 females who worked part-time at their organization. All participants individually completed a computer administered Workplace Experiences Survey assessing various aspects of their work environment including personal and bystander harassment experiences, work-related attitudes (supervisor, coworker, and work satisfaction), work behaviors (work and job withdrawal), and psychological well-being. It was predicted that both direct sexual harassment and bystander harassment experiences would be associated with more negative work attitudes, greater withdrawal behaviors, and poorer psychological health, with bystander harassment moderating the impact of these outcomes. Results found partial support for predictions. As predicted, both direct sexual harassment and bystander harassment experiences were positively related to work and job withdrawal and negatively related to supervisor satisfaction. No relation emerged between harassment experiences and coworker satisfaction, work satisfaction, or psychological health. Additionally, bystander harassment experiences moderated the relation between sexual harassment experiences and supervisor satisfaction, work satisfaction, and work withdrawal, such that women reporting higher levels of both types of harassment also reported the lowest satisfaction and highest level of work withdrawal. However, contrary to expectation, the negative effects of sexual harassment were more pronounced at lower levels of bystander harassment. Results are discussed in terms of the effects of organizational climate on victim perceptions, organizational implications, and directions for future research
