Mastering 3 Learning Strategies: A Guide for Undergraduate Peer Science Tutors in Walk-In Setting

The Learning Center (TLC) provides assistance to students in writing, science, math, business, strategies, and also peer mentoring. Science tutoring in the TLC generally includes students who are looking for problem/solution oriented assistance instead of long term practices. If science tutors are introduced on how to integrate learning strategies to benefit the students they are assisting this will provide strategies to create a more holistic student rather than a strictly homework oriented student. Common issues seen in science tutees are regulating metacognition, forgetting information as soon as class is over, and not knowing how to read a textbook. These are concepts that fall under the category of learning strategies that can be provided to assist students in their learning process. Introducing and integrating the significance of metacognition, the study cycle, and reading strategies in a science tutoring environment may increase student motivations and hence reflect on their grades and retention in their courses. The intention of this research is to provide all science tutors with background information on these specific learning strategies. This is in order to provide a comprehensive resource for the University of Northern Iowa campus

The Effect of Gender-Based Occupational Segregation on Women\u27s Earnings in the United States and Canada

The gender wage gap continues to prove a contentious topic with some going as far as to question its existence. However, scholarly works continue to prove it is real and impactful. More fruitful debates have arisen about the source of this disparity in wages. This paper seeks to analyze one possible explanation for the pay gap: gender-based occupational segregation. I used OLS regressions based on women working full-time between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five to measure this. I find a negative effect of segregated occupations on women’s earnings across countries and years. On a similar note, the percentage of females in an occupation correlates with lower earnings across the years in Canada and the United States

The Relationship Between Athletes\u27 Competitive State Anxiety and Self-Confidence and Coaches\u27 Behaviors

Competitive state anxiety (CSA) and self-confidence are prominent issues in athletics and can cause detrimental effects on athletic performance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of perceived coach anxiety and perceived coach self-confidence on athlete competitive state anxiety and self-confidence. It was predicted that as perceived coach anxiety increases, athlete competitive anxiety will increase. Furthermore, as perceived coach self-confidence decreases, athlete self-confidence will decrease. Ninety-six Division I athletes from three sports (men’s/women’s track and field, women’s soccer, women’s softball) were recruited. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 25 years of age (M = 20.33, SD = 1.43). Perceived coach anxiety emerged as a significant predictor of athlete cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and selfconfidence. Perceived coach self-confidence emerged as a significant predictor of athlete somatic anxiety and self-confidence. In conclusion, understanding the perceptions athletes have of coaching behaviors is of great importance in ensuring peak performance

Breaking the Patterns of Homelessness

Homelessness is a global issue that affects people living in all kinds of different environments. The impacts of homelessness are relatively similar when it comes to developed and undeveloped countries. The uncertainty and stress of homelessness can lead to mental health problems including depression, anxiety and many others. When it comes to physical health, not having a stable living environment can make it more difficult to have access to basic needs such as clean water, safe shelter and nutritious foods. The lack of basic necessities often leads to malnutrition, exposure to harmful weather conditions and a higher sensitivity to diseases and illness. In the US, two of the leading causes of homelessness is lack of affordable housing and mental health/substance abuse. While in an underdeveloped country like Syria, the main cause of homelessness is the collapsing of infrastructure caused by natural disaster. Due to these conditions, people can be exposed to diseases and without health care or if not that, they may not have a place to store which makes it harder to treat. The goal of this study is to find the underlying causes of homelessness in countries of different economic status’ in order to identify ways to break the cycle of homelessness
