The document discusses a problem that First Hand Learning, a nonprofit that promotes science education, is facing with declining student engagement in their after-school programs. It proposes surveying students to understand why engagement is dropping and how to make the programs more interesting. A sample survey is designed with questions about students' enjoyment of science activities and the after-school program. Implementing the surveys revealed challenges getting accurate feedback due to variables like students' ages and pressures, and limitations in surveying all target students. In the end, the results were incomplete due to issues in execution and may not fully explain the engagement problem.
Adapting Assessment Practices for Student LeadersAmma Marfo
A structured conversation conducted with Dr. Adam Peck of Stephen F. Austin University, in conjunction with Student Affairs Assessment Leaders.
For many student affairs professionals, the responsibility of collecting assessment has been an added job for which they fear they may not have sufficient time or energy to devote. Additionally, many don’t feel expert in these methodologies. Many are far more comfortable with their role as educators in helping students develop new competencies and make new discoveries. This webinar discussed some practical approaches to training student leaders to conduct valid programmatic and learning outcomes assessment in ways that benefit both students and the programs they care about most.
Strategy Sessions: Improving student engagement through active participationLearningandTeaching
Units such as counselling skills, clinical psychology or social work, are able to engage students due to the clear, practical implications for future careers. In contrast, it is often difficult to engage students in theoretically driven or statistically based units. However, increased student engagement and active learning can be promoted when more opportunities for participation and discussion are provided.
In this presentation, Nicholas Harris shares strategies for better engaging students, whether they are studying online or on campus, or studying theoretical units. Strategies include weekly reflection quizzes, increased interactive activities during tutorials and lectures, and incorporating online consultation times, serve to increase opportunities for students to ask questions and have hands-on practice with the learning materials.

Hello, my degree program I am currently in is Bachelors of Arts Early Childhood Education. I applied for the Assistant Teacher posting. My workshop is geared toward parents who have children attending preschool. The title of my workshop is The Art of Teaching Preschoolers. This particular workshop aims to assist parents with fun and creative ways to keep their preschooler engaged while learning. I choose this topic for my workshop because, during parent-teacher conferences, parents have stressed that their child shows no interest in learning when they are at home. My biggest concern about hosting this workshop is speaking in from of a crowd.

Stephen Phillips - Implementing an inquiry based approach into our schoolSails-project
Presented at the SMEC & SAILS Conference “Thinking Assessment in Science & Mathematics” which was held on 24-25 June 2014 in the Dublin City University in Ireland.
Poster: Implementing an inquiry based approach into our school
We approached the use of inquiry in our school from two different perspectives: 1) How should we go about teaching inquiry at Wilson’s School? What topics shall we pilot teaching at Wilson’s teaching? What are the challenges faced by the teacher and by students? 2) What happens when we raise students’ self-awareness of their communication skills, using inquiry tasks? How will the staff and students feel towards inquiry-based lessons? Will they enjoy them? Will they trust them? Will they see the value in them and their relevance to the real world?

Helpful Information gotten from the video
Action research is every changing and thus there is need to identify other important assessment tools which can be used. This is to make sure that the focus on the original issue has been maintained. Reflection after the research is complete is of great significance. This involves further questioning on the results that have been gotten from the study. This will not only be of benefit to the researcher but to the students who are learning. During the process of reflection, it is important for one to judge and gain an understanding of the worthiness of the whole process of research and the different research activities that were conducted. Alternative solutions can be gotten after a reflection has been carried out. This means that the researcher is able to identify some of the changes that can be made for the purpose of improving the results which might be gotten at the end of the day.
The presentation of the research findings for those who were involved is also a very significant thing that one could do. The presentation of the results can be done through pinning of the results on the billboards for the parties involved to read through it or even presenting them on conferences so that they can be heard. Publishing the results in form of journals or putting them on a web page is very important. This is because they become an assessment tool for the other research which will be carried out later.
Reflections are of great significance because other students are in a position to gain from what has been uncovered. The teachers will also be in a position to come up with the best teaching strategies to use for the better understanding of the students. Action research is of great significance to the teachers because they are in a position to assess the progress of the students and thus change the mode of teaching if the one being used is not efficient.
Through action research, teachers are able to contribute to the curriculum of the students, maximize the whole process of learning and also make sure that the community benefits from the system of education that is being used. Action research also provides more opportunities for the teachers to resolve understand and even improve the modes of teaching. Moreover, the students are in a position to be understood as individuals. New approaches to learning are also discovered through action research.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.
1. Problem Statement STEP 1: Group #1 : Lynda Kwiatkowski, Justin Fiocca, CorinSilvestrini, Kweshon Alexander , Bari Taub
2. Background Information Clientele: Middle School Students First Hand Learning, Inc. is a New York nonprofit corporation founded in 1998 to promote inquiry-based teaching, learning from direct experience, and closer links between cultural institutions and schools. MISSION: Promote the process of scientific inquiry as a vehicle for learning. Most learners acquire and retain new knowledge most effectively when it derives from firsthand experience.
3. Problem A major problem that First Hand Learning has been currently facing is engagement among the students with the organization. There also may be an issue regarding the kids interest in what First Hand Learning’s program offers.
4. Objective We have decided the best way to take control of the problem is to talk to the kids who attend the program regularly and those who attend occasionally.
5. Solution STEP 2 : In a child-friendly way, we intend to talk to the kids involved in the program. To possibly create a survey that evaluates weather or not what First Hand Learning is offering are the interests of those who come to the program.
6. Similar Issue In our research we found that nearby School 19 in Buffalo has partnered with UB in an after school program that uses science to make things like slime and Styrofoam which is educational and fun for them. .
7. Evaluation Methods The After-School Corporation (TASC) based in NYC, Elizabeth R. Reisner lead a study on the effectiveness of after school programs for different age groups in school paired with community based and non profit organizations.
8. Evaluation Methods Cont. 1. Gathering data on students exposure to the particular program 2. Focus data on events, activities, relationships that are important to the initiative's success 3. Bring people of the organization into the evaluation process 4. Make sure information is in understandable language 5. Set up a system for managing information
9. Sample Questions These are some sample questions we have come up with for our survey: 1. My favorite subject is.. 2. Were you a student at this school last year ? 3. If you started coming to the after school program this year, what month did you start coming? 4. Before attending this after school program how often were you alone or with a friend without an adult or parent present after school? 5. What do you do after school now? 6. How many days last month did you attend the after school program? 7. Rank the after school program 8. Yes or no questions about activities they have participated in at the after school
10. STEP 3 : Criteria - Make simple questions that the kids can comprehend -Use shorter questions and choices they can pick from -Vocabulary will also be modified -Constellation prizes such as candy, pens, and pencils to motivate the kids to fill out the survey, will be handed out
11. Positive Consequences The organization will get an idea of why students can not return to the program on a regular basis, or if it is just a matter of disinterest Resolving conflicts within the program can enhance kids attention to the subject
12. Positive Consequences Continued Find out certain interests of the students so they get the maximum learning potential within the program This may all result in an overall increase in attendance to programs, expanding young minds into science hands on
13. Negative Consequences Students may not be able to understand questions if they are not at the correct reading level. Students may not take surveys seriously and just want to get it over with leaving results to be inconclusive.
14. Negative Consequences Continued Limited responses from just the students that attended the after school program that day Students that young may be unfamiliar with surveys and feel they need to base their answers in accordance to the after school coordinators wishes.
16. Advantages Surveys are relatively inexpensive (especially self-administered surveys) Surveys are useful in describing the characteristics of a large population. (No other method of observation can provide this general capability) They can be administered from remote locations using mail, email or telephone. Very large samples are feasible, making the results statistically significant even when analyzing multiple variables.
17. Advantages Continued Standardized questions make measurement more precise by enforcing uniform definitions upon the participants Standardization ensures that similar data can be collected from groups then interpreted comparatively (between-group study) High reliability is easy to obtain--by presenting all subjects with a standardized stimulus, observer subjectivity is greatly eliminated
18. Disadvantages Relying on standardization forces the researcher to develop questions general enough to be minimally appropriate for all respondents, possibly missing what is most appropriate to many respondents. Surveys are inflexible in that they require the initial study design (the tool and administration of the tool) to remain unchanged throughout the data collection.
19. Disadvantages Continued It may be hard for young participants to recall information or to tell the truth about a controversial question. As opposed to direct observation, survey research (excluding some interview approaches) can rarely deal with "context."
20. STEP 4: Recommendation Create a list of questions in a survey to have the students take to find out why they are not returning to the after school program. Splitting the students into small groups will work more effectively & find out their personal reasons for not wanting to return to the program.
21. Decision Process It seemed like the best way possible to survey them would be in small groups, that way we would be able to receive more honest answers and come up with the best possible solution to why students are not coming back to the afterschool program.
22. Survey Questions 1. What is your age? ______________ 2. About how many days a week do you attend this after school program? ____________ 3. Are you a male or a female? Male Female 4. How much do you like science at school? 1) A lot 2) Somewhat 3) A little 4) Not at all 5. Do you like First Hand Learning’s science activities? 1) Yes 2) No
23. 6. Did you have fun with First Hand Learning? 1) Yes 2) No 7. Do you like doing science activities outdoors or indoors? 1) Outdoors 2) Indoors 3) Both 8. Do you like your First Hand Learning science teacher? 1) Yes 2) No 9. Do you think science is an important subject to learn? 1) Yes 2) No 10. Do you wish to do more science at school? 1) Yes 2) No
24. STEP 5 : Implementation Traveled several sites to hand out the surveys Only a limited amount of students that were present Students were younger then expected Many students didn’t understand the survey and it needed to be explained further to them because of their young age
25. Variables to Implementation The kids felt pressured by us being there, thinking that they have to like science Not enough kids showed up and were the “correct age” to survey and make it equal Some of the mentors decided that we should only survey the kids who take “science period”
27. Results The variables when going to the sites show that the results are not completely accurate The un-organization at the sites made it harder to find out clientele We completed to the best of our ability with the available resources
