ABSTRACT: Higher education institutions implement lecture capturing technology (LCT) to provide students access to recorded course lectures. Consequently, institutions can experience barriers implementing LCT related to lack of student use of the technology. This study's purpose was to examine whether performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions influence undergraduate nursing students' decisions to use LCT after attending face-to-face lectures at a...

Consequently, institutions can experience barriers implementing LCT related to lack of student use of the technology. This study's purpose was to examine whether performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions influence undergraduate nursing students' decisions to use LCT after attending face-to-face lectures at a state college in Florida. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) served as the theoretical framework. This study incorporated a quantitative correlational design and used a modified UTAUT survey instrument to determine if there are statistically significant relationships among the UTAUT constructs and LCT use. A linear regression was performed, and the results suggested there was a statistically significant relationship between the performance expectancy construct and use of LCT, r(116) = .647, p < .01, two-tailed; the effort expectancy construct and use of LCT, r(116) = .249, p < .01, two tailed; and the social influence construct and student use of LCT, r(116) = .255, p < .01, two tailed. A multiple regression analysis suggested performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions statistically significantly predicted student LCT usage, F(4, 113) = 21.32, p < .001. The R2 = .430 with a large effect size (f2 = .754). The results from this study add to the limited body of knowledge on LCT use and provide technology leaders with a better understanding of factors contributing to student use of LCT, which can be used for future research.

The researcher investigated whether personality type and learning style predicted performance in distance education. Thirty-four participants from 3 sections of Art Humanities completed online the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Learning Styles Inventory. Using regression analysis, it was determined that neither personality type nor learning style had a statistically significant effect on student performance in this setting. However, the data did reveal some apparent self-selection of the...
Show moreThe researcher investigated whether personality type and learning style predicted performance in distance education. Thirty-four participants from 3 sections of Art Humanities completed online the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Learning Styles Inventory. Using regression analysis, it was determined that neither personality type nor learning style had a statistically significant effect on student performance in this setting. However, the data did reveal some apparent self-selection of the learning environment. Sensors outrepresented Intuitives by a large scale, identifying further areas for research. A binomial test was used to prove these results were not random. As some scholars have noted, COVID-19 has exacerbated existing inequities and economic insecurities that increase the risk of harassment. Sexual harassment (SH) involves conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating or hostile work environment or interferes with an individual's job performance. This speculated increase in SH due to COVID-19 could relate to an increase in Stockholm syndrome (SS) among essential workers, as many essential workers may stay at their workplace due to benefits (e.g., finances, healthcare) despite having experienced abuse. As such, the current study applies Stockholm syndrome as a framework to examine the potential relationship between SH and SS, and the effects that various factors (e.g., essential worker status, source of harassment) have on this relationship. One-hundred and twelve participants completed online surveys using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Analyses revealed a positive relationship between SH and SS. Furthermore, essential workers reported higher levels of both SH and SS than their non-essential counterparts. This thesis bridges the gap between SH and domestic violence literature, such that it is the first to apply the SS framework to workplace instances of SH. Future research calls for examining the influence of race and power in influencing this relationship, as well as examining the long-term effects of feelings of SS in the workplace.

The department maintains an ongoing faculty publications file wherein notes are added to existing bibliographies of new publications and materials produced by a University of West Florida faculty member or staff. These are undated but continually added to. This listing for Dr. Ray Oldenburg comes from these files and includes materials that he made us aware of, even after his retirement. It may be similar to other bibliographies provided.

Show moreThis project proposes book club pedagogy as a framework for altering traditional curricular design and attending to a more egalitarian style classroom. In these settings, students engage with writing that pushes beyond their comfort zone and allows them to see different perspectives, giving them skills to engage in culturally diverse environments. Participation in Book club classrooms enable "critical literacy," which creates student access points to participate and engage with texts and societal issues that are "interpreted through personal and cultural realities" (Freire & Macedo, 1987; Wood & Jocius, 2013). When utilizing personal experiences and interpretations of texts through various lenses, students participate in conversations regarding disabilities, stereotypes, and social action, and they evaluate their own experiences through reflective writing processes. In addition to affording students with opportunities to utilize their critical thinking skills, book club pedagogy is often conducted in a classroom setting crafted to provide flexible, open spaces rather than orderly rows of desks. To maintain an egalitarian environment, students take turns moderating the class discussion, enabling leadership experience to transfer from student to student. Book club pedagogies encourage students to engage in multimodal ventures when responding to complex texts, either through drawings, videos, blog posts, posters, or interactive games.
