IMPACT: The Journal of the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning. Volume 8, Issue 2, Summer 2019

Many of us look for ways to help students forge concrete connections between their academic studies and the real world. Universities encourage professors to develop community-based learning, allowing students to contribute to the community beyond their campus in a way that enhances their academic studies and enables them to create these connections. Scholars have theorized the many benefits of community-based learning, but professors have many questions about how to implement community-based learning in practice. What does a successful community-based learning assignment look like? What are the different ways to assess students’ learning experiences in community-based learning assignments? How can one build effective partnerships with community organizations? In these pages, you will find practical advice, theoretical framework, and firsthand accounts of community-engaged teaching across disciplines. Learn from professors who have designed assignments allowing students to complete community projects with refugees, prisoners, veterans, elementary school children, science museums, nursing homes, public libraries, and ESL populations. Students in an Anthropology course, for instance, conduct oral history interviews with refugees, and provide written transcriptions of the interviews that the refugees can then use as a learning tool in ESL classes. In a Science Methods class, students collaborate with an aquarium to produce meaningful exhibits that educate the public. First-year writing students work with veterans to create autobiographical films and write papers related to the project

Interpreting Interpretation in Psychoanalysis: Freud, Klein, and Lacan

This theoretical dissertation examines psychoanalytic interpretation through a critical textual analysis of primary texts by Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, and Jacques Lacan. Chapter One presents Freud\u27s The interpretation of dreams (1900) as initiating a new psychoanalytic hermeneutic/interpretive epistemology, methodology, and method; explores Freud\u27s subsequent epistemological revisions and evolving methodology; investigates the role of personal history/the past and the reconstruction (or construction) of missing memories as part of analytic interpretation; looks at the relationship between fantasy (psychic reality) and interpretation; and briefly examines the relationship between transference and interpretation. Chapters Two and Three explore interpretation as presented by Klein and Lacan, looking at key organizing metaphors/tropes through which each Freudian revisionist offers a new interpretation of the unconscious. For Klein childhood/infancy (the preverbal) is the trope, for Lacan, it is language/signification. Each chapter explores the following: interpretation as a methodology, construction, fantasy, and transference. Klein\u27s interpretive method analyzes children\u27s play, whereas Lacan\u27s deciphers the signifying chain. Klein engages in reconstruction on the level of theory but focuses on the present in the analytic session, whereas Lacan formulates reconstruction in terms of rewriting history via the symbolic order. Klein focuses on the phantasies that form and govern unconscious object relations, whereas for Lacan fantasy involves the Other, which the subject encounters in the symbolic order. Klein emphasizes transference interpretations, whereas Lacan generally discounts them. Chapter Four concludes with a comparison of Freud, Klein, and Lacan, looking at points of agreement and divergence, and seeking ways to encourage dialogue

A Descriptive Study of the Use of Neurofeedback in Counseling

This study examines neuro-counseling in the mental health field and the concept of neurofeedback training (NFB) as an intervention in the counseling profession. Numbers of studies have indicated that NFB may be effective in the field of counseling. The purpose of this survey study is to explore the use of neurofeedback in the field of counseling. Additionally, the study used a quantitative descriptive survey research method and descriptive statistics. The survey was sent to members of the American Counseling Association (ACA), and 93 professionals participated. The majority of the sample was licensed professional counselors, professionals with a degree in counseling, and graduates of clinical mental health programs. Overall, the sample had a variety of respondents, some with experience in NFB and some not. For counselors interested in this topic, this study provides a rich literature review and a unique compilation of opinions of professionals providing NFB with counseling. Findings indicate that including NFB in education counseling courses was highly recommended by many participants. Additionally, recommendations include suggestions for future research. Specific advice is that counselors should learn and be aware of the code of ethics when using NFB. Overall, this study finds that according to those respondents who practice NFB, when used with counseling, they believe that it is an effective treatment to lower symptoms and reduce medication dependence for several diagnoses, especially ADHD, depression, and anxiety

Introductory programming: a systematic literature review

As computing becomes a mainstream discipline embedded in the school curriculum and acts as an enabler for an increasing range of academic disciplines in higher education, the literature on introductory programming is growing. Although there have been several reviews that focus on specific aspects of introductory programming, there has been no broad overview of the literature exploring recent trends across the breadth of introductory programming. This paper is the report of an ITiCSE working group that conducted a systematic review in order to gain an overview of the introductory programming literature. Partitioning the literature into papers addressing the student, teaching, the curriculum, and assessment, we explore trends, highlight advances in knowledge over the past 15 years, and indicate possible directions for future research
