Show moreAdult learners are returning to school to acquire and enhance workplace essential skills needed to meet changing job market expectations. Adequately preparing adult learners for the workforce necessitates understanding their views and experiences. The problem explored in this study was the lack of research regarding business school stakeholders' perceptions of the andragogy of workplace essential skills in a community college setting. The purpose of this qualitative instrumental case study was to explore the perceptions of business school stakeholders of the andragogy of workplace essential skills in a community college in South Florida. Participants were six adult students enrolled in business courses, three professors, and a business department chair. The five key assumptions (self-directedness, valuable past experiences, readiness and willingness to learn, problem-centered and practical interests to learning, and intrinsic motivation) and four principles (adult students' involvement in the learning process, integration of past experiences and new knowledge, relevance and impact of the adult learning experience, and incorporating problem-centered instruction) of Knowles's theory of andragogy guided the formulation of the research question. Although adult learners acquired and enhanced workplace essential skills within a positive learning environment incorporating andragogical strategies, adult learners desired enhanced workplace essential skills, such as technological, written, and oral communication, to adequately prepare for the workforce. Participants described andragogy strategies as an effective model of how they learn, supporting the key principles of Knowles's theory of andragogy. Suggestions for future research include exploring workplace essential skills related to other majors and disciplines and including a larger, diverse sample.

Abstract/Description

A previous study performed in the Northwest Florida Panhandle found the bank assessment of non-point source consequences of sediment (BANCS) model to be a relatively poor predictor of streambank erosion rates. Concern for whether these errors were related to how the project was constructed prompted the need for additional research. Some of the presumed errors were associated with the size of the study area and sites' exposure to extreme weather events during the study period. This study aims...
Show moreA previous study performed in the Northwest Florida Panhandle found the bank assessment of non-point source consequences of sediment (BANCS) model to be a relatively poor predictor of streambank erosion rates. Concern for whether these errors were related to how the project was constructed prompted the need for additional research. Some of the presumed errors were associated with the size of the study area and sites' exposure to extreme weather events during the study period. This study aims to utilize the BANCS model across a smaller study area than previously practiced with a focus on identifying specific flow events and drainage watersheds that are primarily undeveloped. Flow events were identified through the use of constructed gages and watersheds were verified with aerial imagery. Erosion incurred at the 18 study sites selected was measured over a given year following identified flood and bankfull events. These practices resulted in an improvement of BANCS' ability to predict streambank erosion rates. In particular, the bank erosion hazard index (BEHI) demonstrates strong relationships with erosion rates when plotted independently. The findings of the study indicate that a better understanding of return intervals of specific flow events, such as bankfull and floods, would enhance the capability to predict streambank erosion.

Abstract/Description

Estuaries are often used as foraging habitats and nursery grounds by many elasmobranch species due to the protection as well as an abundance of nutrients and available prey that estuaries provide. However, identifying essential habitats for elasmobranchs has been a challenge due to frequent migrations of elasmobranchs into estuaries and coastal waters. Therefore, essential habitats for many elasmobranchs have not been identified. Traditional survey methods make it difficult to obtain accurate...
Show moreEstuaries are often used as foraging habitats and nursery grounds by many elasmobranch species due to the protection as well as an abundance of nutrients and available prey that estuaries provide. However, identifying essential habitats for elasmobranchs has been a challenge due to frequent migrations of elasmobranchs into estuaries and coastal waters. Therefore, essential habitats for many elasmobranchs have not been identified. Traditional survey methods make it difficult to obtain accurate results because elasmobranchs are highly mobile; thus the resolution lies with using molecular tools such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. Environmental DNA metabarcoding refers to the identification of multiple species from a single environmental sample using a generalist molecular marker. This molecular tool has shown to represent the biodiversity present in a collected sample and has been more efficient than traditional in situ sampling. Environmental DNA metabarcoding revealed 266 total fish detections from 57 different species with only three elasmobranch species (Rostoraja eglanteria, Hypanus sabinus, Rhinoptera bonasus) being detected. Elasmobranch DNA was primarily detected in spring, with only one detection in both winter and summer and no detections in fall. These results imply that elasmobranchs may not be utilizing the Pensacola Bay System often or they were not present during time of sampling.

Show morePopulations from two historic cemeteries in Pensacola, Florida were researched, analyzed, and compared through the use of archival and site survey records in order to understand connections between causes of death, ages at death, and socioeconomic status (SES). A total of 1,267 individuals were analyzed within this research (404 from AME Zion and 863 from the Escambia County Poor Farm) to answer 1) how the socioeconomic status (SES) of a selection of a population connects to their eventual cause of death and age at death; and 2), how SES is or is not reflected in the burial practices evident through extant surface material at cemetery site(s). The goal of this research was to better understand how the life experiences of people in the past affected their representations in death. Initial analysis of the overall populations (AME Zion n=404; Poor Farm n=863) showed higher rates of infant deaths and males at the Poor Farm than was seen in the AME Zion Pre1970 population sample of all ages. For these full samples, susceptibility to the most frequent causes of death categories (Illness and Disease) were the same at each site. With these similar levels however, individuals at neither site were living substantially longer than the other even when individuals at the Poor Farm had a significantly average SES. Analysis of the cause of death and age at death analysis samples (AME Zion n=240; Poor Farm n=419) as well as analysis of the SES subsamples (AME Zion n=133; Poor Farm n=408) highlighted sex and SES differences between the sites where the Poor Farm had a higher frequency of males and higher wages, on average. Conclusions found no connection between SES and the existence or absence of extant surface materials at AME Zion or the Poor Farm but brought to light the possibility of other cultural factors such as church affiliations and burial associations.

Show morePlacing youths' academic achievement over prosocial skill development is stunting youths' social and emotional growth. Research shows that the 4-H youth organization promotes prosocial skill development in youth. The purpose of this cross-sectional correlational study was to examine the relationship between the intensity of participation in a 4-H youth program and the development of prosocial behavior in nine to 12-year-olds in three North Florida counties. The research is framed by Arnold's 4-H thriving model which operationalizes the outcome variables that contribute to positive youth development. The researcher used Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory to support Arnold's model. The researcher sampled public school, 4-H youth from three North Florida counties between the ages of nine and 12. A convenience sample of 4- H youth (N = 72) completed the Bridge-PYD survey to evaluate their presentation of positive development while the 4-H leaders and corresponding classroom teachers completed the Child Trends Survey to reveal youths' prosocial presentation in the two environments. Included in the data collection are measures of youths' most recent reading and math scores on the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA). Moderation analysis demonstrated a significant moderation effect, p < .001, indicating that the relationship between prosocial development and academic achievement is moderated by the intensity of 4-H participation. The results conclude that North Florida 4-H youths presented high prosocial skill development in addition to academic success as measured by the FSA. This study serves as a resource for youth development practitioners and an examination of current education mandates.
