| Aimee Govett's Topic Performance of Service-Learning as part of a curriculum |
| Summary: Service learning projects emphasize both the service and the learning. By applying the environmental science content to community settings in the SCED 4321 class, we hope to provide more authenticity and purpose for classroom learning. Using the facilities and expertise of the Office of Service-Learning, we have gathered student feedback and other data to document the efficacy of implementing service-learning as a hands-on approach to mastering subject material while fostering a sense of stewardship for our planet. |
| Alison Barton’s Topic Helicopter Parenting: Construct Validation and Scale Development |
| Summary: College administrators and other journalists have increasingly labeled certain parenting behaviors as “helicopter parenting (HP),” and the general consensus is that it is a negative form of parenting. However, no formal measure of this set of behaviors has been developed. The purpose of my series of studies is to develop a reliable and valid measure of behaviors considered to reflect HP, and to use this scale in part to determine if HP is an independent construct. Early survey studies indicated some validity and reliability of the scale; however, the scale did not entirely behave in a predictable manner. Recent re-evaluation of scale items at face level suggests that some rewording and additional items are needed; development and data collection for a new survey with the revised scale is underway. |
