Desk Reserving in Academic Libraries Making Every Seat Count at the University of Limerick
•
1 like•336 views
This poster describes an innovation put in place at the University of Limerick’s Glucksman Library to counter the student practice of reserving library desks. This single site study used mixed methods to explore the phenomenon of students reserving library seats, and to measure the impact and effectiveness of an intervention put in place to alleviate the space constraints caused by the practice. The data from focus groups and surveys provides an understanding of the problem before and after the intervention. The desk clearing initiative described in this study was successful in reducing the practice of seat reserving and thus increasing the availability of seats for use. This research gives library managers practical advice about how to tackle the problem of seat reserving in libraries.

Switching
Switching classes has several downsides according to the document. It can be disruptive for young kids to move between classrooms. It also leads to more bullying in hallways and fights between classes. Teachers also prefer single classes where they can plan at their own pace rather than having to coordinate with other teachers.
Broken Windows 4th[2]
The document discusses a student group's process of selecting and addressing a problem at their high school. They brainstormed several issues, then selected changing school start/end times as the problem to focus on. Surveys of teachers and students found majority support for earlier times. Interviews with principals also saw benefits. The group's proposed solution was to start school an hour earlier and end earlier as well, providing more after-school time while maintaining reasonable sleep schedules. After going through the problem-solving steps, the group concluded earlier school times would better suit students' and staff's needs.
Science Project
The document discusses the author's experience with a science fair project for a class. Some key points:
- The author enjoyed doing the project because it allowed exploration of a topic of interest and curiosity. However, the strict format of science fairs is frustrating.
- If implementing a science fair in their own classroom, the author would make it more flexible and allow various presentation styles, rather than requiring one specific mold.
- An alternative proposed is an "Invention Convention" format to encourage creativity and accommodate different learning styles. The traditional science project would still be an option for students preferring structure.

LBSC 742 Discussion 3 Question 1
Constructivist learning experiences often involve:
- Situating learning in authentic hands-on contexts like science experiments and real-world projects.
- Interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches that integrate different subjects and have students work in teams.
- Inquiry-based approaches developed through open-ended questions and discussions of big ideas.
However, constructivist learning can also be uncomfortable for some students and challenges include the high-stakes testing culture not always promoting inquiry, lack of equitable access, and differences of opinion among teachers on approaches like external motivators and trick questions.
Ceibal en inglés XO poll-august 2015
This document summarizes feedback from remote teachers (RTs) on their use of XO laptops in English classes in Argentina and Uruguay. The responses covered both benefits and challenges of using the laptops. Benefits mentioned included increased student engagement, motivation, and ability to practice outside of class. Challenges included not knowing how to use the laptops' features, activities taking too long, and technical issues like devices not being charged. RTs had mixed views on regular laptop use, with some using them when possible and others preferring more teacher-student interaction without screens. The feedback will be used to improve the project.
Debate essay
Natalie Lilla debated whether class size matters. She initially believed smaller class sizes were better but her research showed both sides have merits. She concluded smaller class sizes are important for kindergarten through 4th grade when students learn basics. However, financial constraints make smaller classes difficult for schools. While one-on-one time is valuable for young learners, studies show minimal benefits to small class sizes, especially in math. Overall, class size likely matters more for younger students but larger classes may be acceptable for older, more independent students.
How to post your assignments.
The document provides guidance on posting assignments for students. It emphasizes three key points:
1. Students will be more likely to work if they have a clear assignment, know where to find it, and understand the purpose.
2. Assignments should be posted in the same location each day so students learn to check there without asking.
3. Daily and consistent posting of assignments before class starts helps students take responsibility for their work.

Dr. X has been teaching for over 20 years but struggles to relate to his students. A proposed solution is for Dr. X to teach in different environments outside the classroom, such as cafes or outdoors, to make learning more engaging. This could help break down barriers between Dr. X and students by cultivating trust and openness in a more relaxed setting. However, alternative environments may be noisy, unpredictable, or too relaxed for students to focus on learning. Further refinement is needed to address these potential issues.

Dealing with Desk Reserving at Peak Times in an Academic Library
Dealing with Desk Reserving at Peak Times in an Academic LibraryGlucksman Library, University of Limerick
The document discusses a project at a university library called "Every Seat Counts" which aimed to address the problem of students reserving library seats by leaving personal items on desks when not in use. Observational studies found that a third of students who entered the library in the mornings left within an hour, while many seats remained occupied by unattended belongings. The library implemented patrols by student monitors to remove unattended items after 45 minutes, placing them in a collection box. Surveys found students supported the new policy as it increased seat availability during peak periods. The project helped enforce an existing rule while maintaining a welcoming environment.Student engagement Annabelle
The classroom environment aimed to engage students in several ways:
1) Exhibits like the Tweet Board and lesson goals wall communicated expectations and allowed students to reflect on learning.
2) The to-do list and schedule kept students organized and on task.
3) Comfortable seating and some reading materials provided engagement, though more variety was needed.
4) Exit tickets and assessments maintained student participation.
The teacher promoted hands-on learning and creativity through a tall tales assignment where students could write about themselves with superpowers. Students appeared fully engaged in the choice-based activity. However, some worksheet elements limited full engagement. Overall, multiple strategies were employed to create an inviting space and motivate students.

Watch listen Learn: Understanding the undergraduate research process through ...
For higher education students, learning can happen anytime and anywhere, however not much is known about how students actually conduct research. A User eXperience (UX) approach, which deploys an anthropological lens, has typically focussed on how library users are interacting with space and services. In this paper I will present the findings of an ethnographic study which shifted the traditional focus of UX to understand how students are engaging with the research process. Using participant observation, behavioural maps, student diaries and retrospective interviews, I was provided with unique access that enabled me to capture the behaviours of these students in their own environments. The research examined the practice of undergraduate research both inside and outside the library walls and found that the research process can be influenced by a number of factors including age, experience, work commitments, family, peer, academic and library anxiety.
I was acutely aware of my responsibility as a researcher to build trust and honesty with the students. Working so closely with them enabled me to discover patterns in their research behaviour, discuss their approach to research and identify gaps in support. This was collaborative ethnography; as I observed research practice, I was able to provide instant advice to help them improve their research skills. In addition, I have discussed my findings with academic colleagues and together we have been making improvements to undergraduate study skills modules. This paper will discuss how an ethnographic approach has informed my professional practice and ultimately improved how I deliver research skills support to undergraduate students. I will also reflect on the role ethnography can play in empowering librarians to perform a leading research role within their own institutions.

The document summarizes an ethnographic study of final year undergraduate research behavior. It discusses the rationale, methodology, and key findings of the study. The study used observation and interviews over 6 weeks to examine how 5 undergraduate students from different disciplines and generations organize, evaluate, and conduct their research. It identified themes around managing time and space for research, dealing with uncertainty in the research process, and relying on peer support networks. The study provided insights into student diversity and how cultural factors like "library anxiety" influence research behaviors. It also reflected on the challenges of conducting ethnographic research with students.

Classroom management
This document provides an overview of inclusive education and effective classroom management strategies. It discusses five principles of classroom management: 1) identifying and teaching clear expectations to students, 2) establishing consistent procedures and structure in the classroom, 3) actively engaging students through frequent opportunities to respond, 4) reinforcing positive behaviors through praise and acknowledgment, and 5) managing misbehavior by addressing its function and teaching replacement behaviors. Specific strategies are outlined for each principle, such as using examples and non-examples to teach expectations, designing the physical classroom layout to facilitate supervision, increasing peer interactions, and establishing a continuum of consequences to shape behavior. The overall message is that effective classroom management is rooted in proactively teaching, reinforcing, and supporting positive

Learning theorists
John Dewey was an educational psychologist and philosopher who advocated for progressive education. He established the Dewey School in 1896 to incorporate student interests and hands-on learning. Dewey believed education should be a social process led by students, with teachers acting as guides. In the classroom, aspects of Dewey's theories can be seen through student exploration of curriculum, science experimentation, and computer research. Teachers following Dewey's model act as facilitators for student-led learning focused on their interests through hands-on activities.
