This project seeks to fill gaps in the knowledge about the long-term benefits of undergraduate participation in community-engaged service learning (CESL). A mixed-methods research protocol delivered to graduates of an R1 public university three years after the completion of a CESL senior capstone course observed significant divergences in…

The aim of this study is twofold: one is to examine the relationship between mathematics achievement and three sources of mathematics self-efficacy (social persuasion, vicarious experience, and physical state) separately through mastery experience as a mediator, and the other is to investigate the relationship between vicarious experience and…

This paper describes an innovative, new, laboratory experiment conceived as a Senior Capstone Project by the student authors to provide experience with heat pipes for students in our junior-year Process Laboratory course at the University of Utah. Heat pipes can transport energy over long distances with minimal temperature gradients and no moving…

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in parental history have been associated with higher self-reported rates of negative parenting behaviors and lower self-reported rates of positive parenting behaviors.

In this paper, we examine the underexplored topic of language teacher educator (LTE) emotions and intersectionality through our individual counternarratives to show how intersectionality and emotions have shaped our own experiences, trajectories, and ideologies as LTEs. We also propose some larger ideas and themes in the form of a grand…

We examine the experiences of student leaders working with student affairs educators (SAEs). Framed by social exchange, we identified three themes highlighting how, from the perspectives of student leaders, (in)actions contribute to complicating the working relationship between student leaders and SAEs: (a) deprioritizing and devaluing student…
