Effects of Instructional Television in Math, Science and Language Arts in Two Small Elementary Schools

This field experience investigated the effects of instructional television on academic achievement of fifth and sixth grade students in two small elementary schools in Bond County. A two tailed t-test for the difference of means at the .05 level of significance was used to analyze the data collected. A self assessment survey collected from nine teachers determined that no significant differences in opinion existed between members of the teaching staff regarding instructional television usage. An analysis of student grades determined that no significant increase in student grades was found in the comparisons made. Results of this study indicate that the implementation of instructional television has had little or no statistically significant effects on student achievement as determined by grade point average comparisons of students since entering school and the implementation of instructional television

Investigating Gene-Environment Interaction in a Double-Hit Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder

With the exponential advancements seen in the field of sequencing technology, the science community has come to identify hundreds of potential genetic risk factors for neuropsychiatric disorders. Despite our knowledge that such risk factors exist, we have yet to understand their specific influences on the behavioral profile of an individual. In addition, maternal infection during pregnancy can have longstanding detrimental outcomes on a child’s development. This is especially impactful with the present threat of viral infection during the pandemic. Our study aims to understand the influence of a specific genetic and environmental factor on a preclinical rodent model’s behavioral development. By assessing the interplay between gene mutations and environmental stressors, we can begin to appreciate how certain risk factors may affect indispensable cognitive processes such as attention. Neuropsychiatric disorders are complex and polygenic, but our study may aid in the understanding of what is needed to elucidate their symptomatology

Community Based Global Learning

This panel explores frameworks for effective implementation and assessment of community-based learning. Relationships between universities and community partners must be just and reciprocal—meeting student learning outcomes and improving the capacity of the partner organizations. Case studies of both international and US-based community engaged learning will be presented
