La percepció nacional dels alumnes de 12-16 anys davant les eleccions
Authors: Gavaldà Antoni
Published: December 2023

Les Ciències Socials d'avui en dia a l'ensenyament primari o al secundari, ben fetes, passen per donar el just, per pair-ho bé i per entendre-ho, i, sobretot, per preparar perquè l'alumne sàpiga buscar per decidir. Tot i així no som encara gaire lluny de classes on el llibre de text és com la "bíblia" per a la religió o "Les ruïnes de Palmira" per a l'anarquia. En l'adequat procés de la classe de Socials, el professor repta l'alumne a prendre decisions, a formular hipòtesis, a dissenyar recorreguts geogràfics, artístics i històrics, a reformular conceptes segons les fonts que es treballen, etc. Donar quantitat és sinònim de fomentar l'erudició, cosa més pròpia de la preparació per a concursos televisius, aspecte en què la majoria d'alumnes -és de suposar, encara que no n'estem segurs del tot-, possiblement, no hi participaran. Preparar per la qualitat és incitar a arrancar a pensar en tots els ordres de la visió social, a participar per poder optar, a decidir sobre aspectes de present i de futur. El camí cap a una millora en els mètodes d'instrucció i d'aprenentatge passa per centrar-se en les condicions sòcio-econòmiques que demanen, promouen i comproven que el pensament actuï.
L'aprenentatge algebraic a través del joc
Authors: Giménez Joaquim
Published: December 2023

El joc es justifica a les classes de matemàtiques no només per «fer les coses avorrides de forma més divertida» sinó que té un valor antropològic, històric, epistemològic i didàctic. Explicarem tres elements importants: el joc forma part de la pròpia acció matemàtica, és catalitzador de capacitats cognitives i, es mostra com una eina efectiva. En un altre moment parlarem d'un altre possible valor: el joc com a instrument de control de capacitats. És a dir, formant part d'un procés d'avaluació.

Published: December 2023

Ja portem dos anys i mig de relacions entre aquest país amb 22 km de costa mediterrània i la Universitat Rovira i Virgili. És un bon moment per reflexionar sobre alguns trets del sistema educatiu eslovè, la formació del professorat i l’especificitat de l’educació matemàtica en aquesta formació. El Programa Tempus-Phare anomenat Millora de la formació dels ensenyants de secundària en Matemàtica, on s’emmarquen les nostres relacions és un programa d’ajut material de la Unió Europea a països de l’àrea de l’Est d’Europa i de mobilitat de professors i estudiants. Una de les àrees prioritàries per a Eslovènia era precisament la Formació didàctica específica del Professorat de Secundària.
Les eleccions polítiques segons els adolescents: participació i refús

Published: December 2023

En aquesta mateixa revista va aparèixer publicat, al número 6, el treball La percepció nacional dels alumnes de 12 a 16 anys davant les eleccions, en què es valorava, en una mostra de 476 alumnes de diverses escoles i instituts del Camp de Tarragona, els primers resultats respecte a opcions nacionals, i la predisposició o el gust que tenien per anar a votar, si poguessin, en unes eleccions que eren ben a la vista, en aquell moment (van ser al Parlament de Catalunya, celebrades el diumenge 15 de març de 1992). En aquesta segona part de l’enquesta que es posa a consideració s’hi pretenen veure tant les opinions personals sobre el dia electoral que és a tocar, com indagar l’opinió del noi/a que té assumida sobre els seus pares respecte a aquesta contesa electoral.

Els sistemes educatius comprensius i els nens i joves amb síndrome d'atenció deficient
Authors: Martínez Francesc
Published: December 2023

Una de les grans dificultats de l’epidemiologia psiquiàtrica és que el diagnòstic de desordre mental és mal acceptat tant pels pacients com per les seves famílies. Per això la població és molt reticent respecte al registre sistemàtic de dades psiquiàtriques, fins i tot si és un registre anònim (McNEDEY-SAIAG,1991). A més a més, si és difícil acceptar el diagnòstic de malaltia mental en el cas dels adults, encara ho és més si es tracta de nens i joves. Però, tot i les dificultats d’investigació epidemiològica en aquest camp, estudis cada vegada més amplis i acurats indiquen una prevalença força elevada dels desordres psiquiàtrics en nens i adolescents.
Autonomia i educació
Authors: De Renovació Pedagògica Congrés
Published: December 2023

El debat sobre l’autonomia és un debat complex, en la teoria i en la pràctica. En la teoria perquè afecta una de les característiques bàsiques del model educatiu que defensem, i en la pràctica, perquè un alt percentatge de les problemàtiques de l’escola està relacionat amb l’autonomia educativa. És un debat d’actualitat. El debat sorgeix en un moment de crisi i de reforma del sistema educatiu, de crisi dels serveis públics en general i del sistema funcionarial en concret.; en un moment en què hi ha coincidència en alguns sectors que l’autonomia dels centres educatius pot solucionar part de les problemàtiques actuals. És un debat obert, perquè no hi ha coincidència en quines són les mesures, en quin nivell d’autonomia hem de treballar, o com s’han d’aplicar.

Crisis democrática y competencia ciudadana. Revisión de los programas de educación infantil en España y México
Authors: Porto Pedrosa Leticia , Zuart Garduño Alberto
Published: December 2023

La institución educativa contribuye al desarrollo físico, social, afectivo e intelectual de los niños y las niñas. Los primeros años de vida sientan las bases de crecimiento personal y social hacia la construcción de una ciudadanía democrática y responsable. Sin embargo, ante la escasa satisfacción y falta de confianza general respecto a las organizaciones políticas, se plantea la hipótesis de que esta desafección podría estar relacionada con el modo en el que estos valores quedan recogidos en las enseñanzas oficiales. En múltiples estudios, se afirma que las prácticas democráticas en la primera educación formal resultan escasas e insuficientes en diversos contextos y países. En este artículo, pues, se estudian los datos oficiales sobre el grado de satisfacción con la democracia desde el año 2000 y se analizan los programas de educación infantil recogidos en la legislación vigente de España y México. Esta investigación refleja cómo se trabaja la cultura democrática y la alfabetización cívica en los primeros años de escolarización. A diferencia de lo que sucede en la educación inicial, en las etapas posteriores, hay una mayor presencia de aspectos democráticos ligados al ejercicio activo de la ciudadanía, especialmente en España. Finalmente, en este estudio, se reivindica una mayor preocupación entre las autoridades educativas por fomentar los valores democráticos desde la primera infancia y así garantizar una mayor satisfacción y confianza respecto al Estado de derecho.
Democracia liberal frente a democracia iliberal
Authors: Brunet Icart Ignasi
Published: December 2023

En un marco histórico sustentado en la competencia generalizada, definida esta como virtud y rasgo esencial del ser humano, nos planteamos si la pregunta central de nuestro tiempo es: ¿Nos hallamos ante un rechazo mundial de la democracia liberal y su sustitución por algún tipo de autoritarismo populista o de democracia iliberal? Pregunta plenamente legítima en un contexto geopolítico que, cada vez más, impone una representación de lo social y de la política en términos antagónicos, y se opone a los consensos por los que apostaba la democracia deliberativa.

Its main use in our lab (https://biocomputationlab.com) is to identify the location and gene locus of transposon inserts in microbial bacterial genomes of Pseudomonas putida KT2440. However, this script can be used for other bacterial genomes for which its genome sequence and annotation are available. Script was developed and tested in python 3.9.5 with blastn version 2.9.0, sickle version 1.33 and fastqc version 0.11.9 This is a description of the LAP entry LAPu-InsertsGenAnnotation-1.0.0 located in the LAP repository
Belhar as mirror and window on social cohesion and justice
Authors: Fortein Eugene Andre
Published: December 2023

This study argues that the Reformed Churches in South Africa failed to constructively contribute to social cohesion and justice since the drafting of the Belhar Confession in 1982 due to its failure to embody the demands of unity, reconciliation and justice. Firstly, the study briefly discusses the historical setting of the Belhar Confession and how it remains a bridge too far to embody for the Church in South Africa since its drafting in 1982. Furthermore, the study indicates how the Church’s failure to embody the Belhar Confession leaves a vacuum in the discourses on racial tensions, the land issue and the new apartheid. Finally, the study engages how the Church can be an agent of transformation and hope.
On dreaming a different world together?
Authors: Smit Dirk J
Published: December 2023

The article provides some broad perspectives on what is happening in the global Reformed world today. It takes its point of departure in two recent editions of the Reformed World, the official journal of the World Communion of Reformed Churches that is again being published since 2021 after a short interruption in publication. It shows how these editions embody the present self-description of the global body, namely “Called to Communion; Committed to Justice” as well as its strategic vision, “Confessing the God of Life in a World Fallen Among Thieves.” In this process, a brief overview is offered of distinct Reformed emphases in four of the most important bilateral reports in which the World Communion participated in recent years. Based on this overview, four brief theological observations conclude the broad picture.

Authors: Loupatty Voulda D. , Dompeipen Edward J. , Radiena Mozes S.Y. , Kolanus Joice P.M
Published: December 2023

Seaweed is the key to developing habitat in deep sea, coastal, and estuarine environments. Seaweed, humans, and animals have been interrelated since the beginning, especially as a food source of fiber, protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds. Natural antioxidants are seen as a superior and safe method of fighting free radicals. Sources of antioxidants usually come from land plants and rarely from seaweed. Silpau is a seaweed and a local food ingredient in Maluku Province, Indonesia, and has the potential as an antioxidant. Antioxidant and bioactive compounds are needed by humans and animals as antibodies to fight various negative influences from the environment. This research aimed to isolate and characterize active antioxidant compounds and the toxicity of silpau extracts. The extraction of the active compound begins with a single maceration method for 3 x 24 hours with methanol solvent, processing with the partition extraction method for subfraction separation using column chromatography with the silica gel stationary phase and the mobile phase solvent n-hexane: ethyl acetate with a ratio (50: 1 ~ 1: 1) gradient. The sample toxicity was tested using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test method. The trial activity used the Free Radical Reduction method with 2,2-diphenyl-1-pikrilhidrazil as a reagent. This research succeeded in isolating one bioactive compound from the glare green macroalgae. Based on the phytochemical analysis and FT-IR spectrophotometer, sub-fraction IV was identified as a triterpenoid class of compounds that has an IC50 value of 126,582 μg / ml and is considered an antioxidant.
The Effects of Cognitive Impulsivity on the Duration of Remission in Alcohol-Dependent Patients
Authors: Galkin Stanislav A.
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Cognitive impulsivity manifesting in impaired inhibitory control and decision-making impulsivity is observed both in alcohol-dependent and substance-dependent individuals and may affect the ability to maintain long-term (persistent) remission.
AIM: To evaluate the effects of cognitive parameters of impulsivity on the duration of remission in alcohol-dependent patients.
METHODS: The study included 83 patients with alcohol dependence and 51 mentally healthy study subjects as the control group. The distribution of patients by duration of remission was based on the DSM-5 criteria. Patients were divided into two groups according to the duration of their most recent remission: patients with early remission (n=48) and patients with sustained remission (n=35). Impulsivity was assessed using the Go/No-Go task, which included a response inhibition component (inhibitory control). Choice impulsivity was assessed using two cognitive tests that encompass its separate components: decision-making under risk (Cambridge Gambling Task, CGT), and decision making under uncertainty (Iowa Gambling Task, IGT).
RESULTS: The study groups (patients and the controls) differed significantly in all domains of impulsivity: decision making under risk [GT: decision making quality (H(2, N=134)=30.233, p 0.001) and decision-making time (H(2, N=134)=18.433, p 0.001)] and decision making under uncertainty [IGT: selecting cards from “losing” decks (H(2, N=134)=9.291, p=0.009)]. The group of patients with sustained alcohol remission was characterized by longer decision times in CGT compared to the group of patients with early remission (z=2.398, p=0.049). Decision quality in CGT (z=0.673, p=0.999) and IGT scores (z=1.202, p=0.687) were not statistically significantly different between the groups of patients with sustained and early remission from alcohol dependence. The assessment of impulsive actions showed that the study groups were significantly different in terms of their ability to suppress their dominant behavioral response when performing the GNG task [false presses when seeing the “No-Go” signal (H(2, N=134)=28.851, p 0.001)]. The group of patients in sustained remission from alcohol dependence was characterized by better suppression of the behavioral response to the “No-Go” signal relative to the patients in early remission [H(2, N=134)=2.743, p=0.044)]. The regression analysis showed that the decision-making quality (t=2.507, р=0.049) and decision-making time (t=3.237, р=0.031) and the number of false presses when seeing the “No-Go” signal in the GNC task had a statistically significant impact on the duration of remission (t=3.091, р=0.043).
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that impaired decision-making processes and the ability to inhibit the dominant behavioral response have a significant impact on the ability of alcohol-dependent patients to maintain long-term remission.
Feasibility of correcting defects in the pronunciation of posterior lingual sounds resulting from oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer surgery
Authors: Krasavina Elena A. , Choinzonov Evgeny L. , Kulbakin Denis E. , Medova Natalia A.
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Speech dysfunction is noted in patients who have undergone hemiglossectomy or glossectomy for cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx, including the pronunciation of sounds [k], [k’], [g], and [g’].
AIMS: To evaluate the effectiveness of correction of the pronunciation of posterior lingual sounds in patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers after surgical treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The objective and subjective assessments of speech allowed speech therapists to examine defects in the pronunciation of posterior lingual sounds [k], [k’], [g], and [g’] in patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer who underwent surgery. The effectiveness of correcting defects in the pronunciation of posterior lingual sounds was evaluated considering the extent of surgery. The study included 171 patients with stage II–IV oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. The age of the patients ranged from 24 to 70 years. The patients underwent hemiglossectomy, hemiglossectomy with reconstruction, or glossectomy with reconstruction. Combined modality treatment and postoperative speech rehabilitation were performed at the Department of Head and Neck Tumors of the Cancer Research Institute.
RESULTS: In all patients before starting the combined treatment, the pronunciation of posterior lingual sounds [k], [k’], [g], and [g’] corresponded to the norms in the Russian language. After surgery, the pronunciation of these sounds was impaired in most patients. In group III (after glossectomy with reconstruction), pronunciation defects were observed in 100% of the cases. The corrective speech therapy included a set of breathing and articulation exercises for the muscles of the cheeks, lips, and tongue using passive motor gymnastics as the basis for activating and coordinating the patient’s articulation apparatus.
CONCLUSION: The presented system of subsequent correction and automation of posterior lingual sounds allowed the correction of the pronunciation of these sounds in most patients.
Effectiveness of a novel hydrolysate collagen formulation in the complex treatment and rehabilitation of patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis
Authors: Repetyuk Aleksey D. , Ternovoy Konstantin S.
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic disease that can eventually lead to surgical arthroplasty. Overuse, inflammation, metabolic disorders, and hormonal changes play important roles in the pathogenetic development of osteoarthritis of the knee. Recent studies have shown that collagen hydrolysate slows down the degenerative processes in cartilage tissue and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
AIMS: To examine the effect of a dietary supplement of collagen hydrolysate (COLLA GEN) on the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective, blinded, placebo-controlled study included 99 patients diagnosed with radiographic knee osteoarthritis. All patients were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were prescribed a course of therapeutic exercises. Group I was also prescribed a food supplement of collagen hydrolysate (COLLA GEN), whereas group II received placebo. The effectiveness of collagen hydrolysate in symptomatic osteoarthritis was evaluated based on the comparison of the WOMAC and VAS scores before the treatment and rehabilitation process and after 1, 3, and 6 months.
RESULTS: Daily intake of 40 g of collagen hydrolysate dietary supplement of collagen hydrolysate («COLLA GEN») for 3 months, in combination with exercise therapy, in patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis, allowed statistically significant (p 0.05), compared with the placebo group, to improve such indicators on the WOMAC scale as «pain» (3.9±1.5 in group I and 5.4±1.8 in group II), «physical function» (8.7±3.2 in group I and 13.7±2.9 in group II), and «total score» (14.5±5.2 in group I and 21.5±4.9 in group II) by 6 months of observation. When analyzing the indicators on the VAS scale at the end of the 3rd and 6th month of treatment, a statistically significant difference (p 0.05) was observed between the indicators of regression of pain symptoms, which were 2.17 and 3.72 points in group I and 0.83 and 2.03 points in group II, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The use of a novel hydrolysate collagen formulation in the complex treatment and rehabilitation of patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis has potential therapeutic effects.
Reviving Social Europe: a critical assessment of EU social policy in the wake of multiple crises
Authors: Hawley Adrian
Published: December 2023

The concept of "Social Europe" encompasses the European Union's social policy framework. This paper argues that the financial crisis of 2007-2009, the subsequent Euro crisis, and the ensuing austerity measures diverted significant attention away from Social Europe. This neglect led to declining living standards, reductions in public services, and the emergence of critical challenges such as the gig economy. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these issues, prompting a renewed focus on Social Europe by EU institutions. This paper conducts a chronological analysis of recent legislative (acquis) and non-legislative (soft power) instruments implemented to address these challenges and assesses the prospects of Social Europe in the near term.
Team Identification and Perceptions of College Athletes
Authors: Fridley Alison , Stokowski Sarah , Arthur-Banning Skye , J. Aicher Thomas , Croft Chris
Published: December 2023

College campuses are unique spaces, with college towns having their own distinctive culture. However, attendance at intercollegiate athletic events has declined in recent years. Long-term strategies for building faculty fanbases are uncommon, yet, faculty maintain high organizational identification, positively impacting brand loyalty and purchase intentions. As such, university faculty may be an ideal target market for athletic departments through relationship marketing. Utilizing Allport’s (1954) Intergroup Contact Theory, this study examined faculty motivation to attend university athletic events regarding their university identification, perception of college athletes, and motivation for sport consumption. Two hundred and thirty-eight faculty members at Power Five institutions completed the Motivation Scale for Sport Consumption, the Points of Attachment Index, and the Perceptions of Athletic Departments Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics suggested that faculty are motivated differently than other fans, as the physical skills of athletes served as the strongest motivator for faculty. The multiple regression analysis provided evidence to conclude higher levels of both faculty university athletic team identification and their perceptions of student-athletes contributed to increased athletic event motivation scores. Based on the results, in order to increase faculty motivation to attend athletic events, marketers should consider designing innovative marketing efforts specifically for faculty members and utilizing marketing techniques to increase faculty’s perceptions of college athletes.
Rethinking the Sport Management Internship
Authors: Odio Michael , Menaker Brian
Published: December 2023

Internships are widespread and usually a mandatory component of the student experience, but the focus on the employment experience may overshadow the educational function of experiential learning. This article argues for a shift in perspectives and priorities for career development in sport management curricula. While internships were originally seen as an effective means of preparing students for the sports industry, concerns over issues related to access and pedagogy have created an urgency to review practices across the discipline. The primary argument highlights an imbalance in the discourse surrounding professional and educational foci of sport management internships, changes in the understanding of careers since the adoption of internships in sport management, and design features that can be at odds with student development and motivation. Finally, we propose a more holistic approach and make recommendations for how rethinking internships can improve issues of equity, access, and student development.
Student Stories of Campus Sport Experiences
Authors: Hoffman Jennifer , Pauketat Regena , Ray Lauren
Published: December 2023

Engaged learning practices foster “meaningful learning experiences” in support of students’ lifelong learning and contributions to their workplaces and communities (Moore, 2021, p. 17). This article highlights how Moore’s six engaged learning practices are used in an undergraduate sport and education course focusing on the purposes of sports and place in their college going experiences. Using open pedagogy and digital scholarship practices, student stories focus on campus-based sport including the built environment (e.g., skateboarding, parkour), esports and board games, recreational student clubs in the natural environment (on campus and off; e.g., hiking, biking, snow sports), intramural and club sports, and as athletes in traditional varsity sports. This class utilizes several aspects of Kuh’s High-Impact Practices and Moore’s Engaging Learning Practices in which students collaborate in group writing projects to develop stories using the Pressbooks platform. Using open pedagogy practices to support students, the Pressbook chapters illustrate the influence of sport and place in the college-going experience and campus life from the student perspective (Kuh, 2008; Moore, 2021). This article also describes the faculty/library staff collaboration to integrate Pressbooks as a digital tool to foster engaged learning. As a result, students create an open access digital edition that gives students control over how their content can be shared and distributed as content creators and subjects of sports on a college campus.
“I Felt We Were Actually Learning Things, Then Applying Them”
Authors: Gipson Christina , Mutchler Jessica , Kaur Mallhi Arshpreet , Lambert Amanda
Published: December 2023

Academic journals continue to produce articles that highlight record levels of student disengagement and lack of motivation. Faculty have been encouraged to use high impact, active learning strategies to increase student engagement and success (Patrick et al., 2016). One technique, service learning, allows students to become active learners through applying learned skills and theory from the classroom to community settings (Connolly, et al., 2017). The purpose of this study was to highlight students’ perceptions and experiences through three semester-long service-learning courses where students provided a fitness and mindfulness program to local teachers to help them address stressors. Undergraduate sports management students enrolled in a service-learning course for sport development were tasked with planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating three 9-week long programs. Students were given increased responsibility and control over the semester which resulted in real-world experiences.  The students gave their perceptions and experiences in an end of semester paper.  Three independent coders reviewed the papers using thematic analysis. Emergent themes were consistent with the service-learning literature suggesting increased engagement, sense of purpose, and applying knowledge. The service-learning course proved to have a positive impact on the sport management students and produced high levels of engagement. Sport management faculty could implement service-learning courses to increase student engagement and opportunities to apply theories, skills, and knowledge in real-world settings. Sport management courses should further explore using high impact, active learning environments to increase student engagement and enhance student learning outcomes.
Investigating Name, Image, and Likeness Through Project-Based Learning
Authors: O'Hallarn Brendan , Morehead Craig , Carpenter Michelle , O'Toole Jay
Published: December 2023

The 2021 Supreme Court ruling granting college athletes the right to monetize their name, image, and likeness (NIL) was greeted in equal measure by enthusiasm and confusion by college athletes and the institutions for which they compete. This paper suggests an approach whereby college classes can provide guidance for college athletes to navigate the nascent, evolving NIL rules and provide an opportunity for current, relevant project-based learning. The Old Dominion University Name, Image, and Likeness Knowledge Hub had limitations in its deliverable—a guide for college athletes seeking to leverage their NIL rights—but it represents a novel learning opportunity because of the uncertainty surrounding NIL. This can offer engaged learning for classrooms in a variety of academic disciplines. In addition, small and mid-sized university athletic departments can use this approach to help build institutional knowledge of the new athlete rights and obligations while forming robust learning partnerships with academic units on their campuses.

In sport management higher education, doctoral students and early-career faculty are often tasked with teaching university courses, yet the training and support rarely match the demands of the job. This paper explores the utility of a professional learning community (PLC) within a sport management department at an American university using a case study methodology. A PLC creates space for colleague collaboration among faculty with similar objectives and goals. The PLC examined in this manuscript includes a mix of experienced (i.e., associate and full professors) and inexperienced professors (i.e., assistant professors and doctoral students) sharing their classroom/instructional experience at the undergraduate and master’s levels. PLCs represent a viable solution to help ease the classroom transition for early-career instructors and provide a platform for faculty to seek advice related to challenges. Findings suggest that the proper implementation of PLCs can lead to perceived increases in teaching effectiveness, self-efficacy, and collaboration amongst experienced and inexperienced faculty. Other benefits of PLCs include allowing faculty members to remain attuned to current classroom trends and maintaining a common philosophical mission/vision for the degree program.

Phenomenography: A methodological approach for assessing student learning in student affairs
Authors: Rands Melissa , Gansemer-Topf Ann
Published: December 2023

In this paper, Melissa Rands and Ann Gansemer-Topf introduce the reader to a methodological approach, phenomenography, which can be used to document learning in student affairs. Phenomenography explores the variation in how different people conceive of learning experiences. By exploring this variation, student affairs professionals can design assessments that identify learners whose conceptions are more or less comprehensive, to ultimately evaluate a program’s or intervention’s effectiveness and tailor programs to address students’ learning needs. This brief introduction explores the approach’s origins in educational psychology as well as the conceptual foundations of phenomenography as applicable to other disciplines such as student affairs. A detailed description of the rigor of phenomenographic methods, including data collection and analysis, will be discussed. Examples of how phenomenographic research could be utilized in assessment in student affairs illustrate the methodological aspects of the approach and its application. The authors argue a phenomenological approach adds to outcomes-based assessment work by suggesting that meaningful student learning assessments must capture student thinking as well as performance.
Advancing toward social justice via student affairs inquiry
Authors: Bourke Brian
Published: December 2023

Inquiry represents deep learning through a process of seeking answers to questions. Our ‘why’ in connecting student affairs inquiry to social justice is not likely self-evident. Social justice relies on connected actions, whereas through our approaches to assessment in student affairs, we have traditionally favored research-related activities that strive to maintain strict objectivity. But just as our overall conceptions of the roles and responsibilities of student affairs educators have evolved, so too, must our conceptions of the roles and responsibilities of those engaged in student affairs inquiry. As a student affairs educator tasked with conducting inquiry activities, one has to make choices about the process of gathering and analyzing data, and reporting findings. There is an ethical obligation to do so with veracity. This ethical obligation to engage in the inquiry process with utmost honesty does not conflict with using inquiry as a tool to advance toward social justice. Through this article, the author explores the connections between the processes of inquiry and social justice, and asks readers to consider social justice as a critical and central component of inquiry work.

Student affairs assessment and accreditation: History, expectations, and implications
Authors: Levy Joseph D. , Hess Richard M. , Thomas Amanda S.
Published: December 2023

While student affairs assessment does not have as long a history as academic assessment, a wealth of literature related to student learning makes clear reference to and inclusion of co-curricular and student affairs areas. Over the past several years, accrediting bodies have made criteria and standard revisions with language specifically naming co-curricular and student support services. Despite these elements, much is still misunderstood with respect to the role student affairs assessment may have in accreditation work. This article explores the key evolutions in the history of accreditation and student affairs assessment, explains accreditation interests and expectations for student affairs assessment, and concludes with implications and future considerations for institutions to integrate into practice.
Research and assessment: A study of the competencies taught and competencies sought
Authors: Marsden Courtney L.W. , Eckert Erica
Published: December 2023

Existing literature reveals a disconnect between the assessment, evaluation, and research (AER) competencies sought by employers and those held by new professionals. The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore the content within master’s-level student affairs programs along with the literature pertaining to the needs of the profession. A content analysis of 45 AER course syllabi revealed research topics were more frequently listed in syllabi than assessment topics.
The implications for asking: An autoethnographic exploration of researching college student trauma
Authors: Shalka Tricia R.
Published: December 2023

Student affairs practitioners are increasingly called upon to engage in their work through the lens of trauma-informed practice. There is simultaneously a need for data that grounds this work in evidence-based strategies specific to the experiences of college student survivors of trauma. Yet, there has been limited discussion in student affairs literature about the impacts of assessment or research of college student trauma on those engaging in the inquiry. The purpose of this autoethnographic study was to investigate the implications of a qualitative exploration of college student trauma for the researcher and contributes to a broadened understanding of the possible impacts for higher education researchers and assessment professionals engaged in understanding college student trauma.
College student career barriers: Brief O*NET exposure changes CBI-R scores
Authors: Merrell Kortney B. , Edwards Jared F. , Swisher Morgan N. , Chu Yong Jhao
Published: December 2023

Career barriers can limit or distort a student’s perception and pursuit of a career. Social Cognitive Career Theory includes multiple points where career barriers can discourage or derail goal selection and goal directed behavior related to career development and, by extension, the opportunity to enhance career development by addressing career barriers. In an attempt to better understand ways to address career barriers, college students were given a computer administered version of the Career Barriers Inventory-Revised (CBI-R) then spent 20 minutes exploring information available through the O* NET. Next, they completed the CBI-R again. We found significant decreases in reported barriers for one subscale, Difficulties with Networking or Socialization, and the total scale. Based on our results, exposure to the O* NET predicts a decrease in reported career barriers of students. Those seeking to increase students’ openness to career and academic options may have a low cost intervention that offers a beneficial impact.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Academic Success Program: Showcasing the Importance of Theory to Practice
Authors: Pope Andrea M. , Finney Sara J. , Crewe Morgan
Published: December 2023

To provide an example of outcomes assessment that aligns with student affairs standards (Finney & Horst, 2019a), we share our process of assessing a mandated eight-week program for students on academic probation. Furthermore, our process highlights the value of using existing theory and research to inform assessment and program redesign efforts (Pope et al., 2019). Using a high-quality theory-based measure, we assessed several student learning and development outcomes (e.g., institutional commitment, academic self-efficacy) that theory and research indicated are necessary for students to achieve academic success. Based on the outcomes assessment results, we identified which aspects of the program seemed to be working and which aspects needed improvement. Finally, we close by providing recommendations for other professionals seeking to build and assess high-quality student affairs programs informed by theory and research.
Graduate Program Considerations: Which Factors Matter to Students?
Authors: Holloway-Friesen Holly , Kranzow Jeannine
Published: December 2023

Graduate enrollment rates are increasing, but research investigating which factors matter in the decision process is lacking. The results of this quantitative study suggest that first-generation students and students of Color interested in educational counseling and student affairs approach the master’s college choice process differently than continuing-generation students and White students. Program characteristics, personal factors, ease of entrance, input from others, and benefits to others emerged as important features of the process for historically marginalized student groups. Implications for practice and research are discussed which include examining admissions policies and program structures.

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy Misdiagnosed as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a Patient with Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Lee Eun Kyoung , Kim Sooyoung , Choi Hayoung , Choi Song-Yi , Sohn Eunhee
Published: December 2023

Gradual progressive weakness in a patient with diabetes mellitus can be caused by several conditions, including myelopathy, motor neuron disease, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), and myopathy. Diagnosing the exact cause of progressive muscle weakness can be challenging in the presence of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN). We report a case of CIDP with DPN in a 64-year-old woman who was initially misdiagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This case also demonstrates the importance of using the correct dose and duration for the treatment of CIDP.
