Finding techknowledgey : students' navigations of an institution's technological landscape

Creator:: Dean, Allyson S.
Abstract:: This study explored how students navigate the technological landscape of a public, land-grant institution. Through online surveys and semi-structured, one-on-one interviews, the study operated through an anticipatory/participatory lens to research with the intent of understanding students' experiences with technology at a research institution. Using this methodology and Triandis and Triandis'...

Societal Responses to Using Genetic Engineering for Mitigating Chestnut Blight and Restoring American Chestnut Trees

Creator:: Petit, Joshua D.
Abstract:: Forests face health threats from pests and diseases (e.g., mountain pine beetle, emerald ash borer, chestnut blight [CB], Swiss needle cast), and other issues such as climate change. Interventions such as genetic engineering (GE) have shown promise for mitigating some of these threats. CB, for example, has impacted most American...

Exploring How Alternatively Certified Agriculture Teachers Acquire Practices and Participate in a Community of Practice: A Hermeneutic Phenomenology

Creator:: Claflin, Kellie
Abstract:: The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of alternatively certified agriculture teachers, acquire the practices of agriculture teachers, and participate in the agriculture teacher community of practice. The study was grounded in an interpretivist approach, which provided an alterantive perspective to the positistic-like research...

Exploration of statistical methods for synthesizing the effects of variable-retention harvesting on multiple taxa

Creator:: Lam, Tzeng Yih
Abstract:: Variable-retention harvesting was proposed to reduce loss of biodiversity and ecosystem processes associated with late-seral Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests in the Pacific Northwest. The Demonstration of Ecosystem Management Options experiment was established to test this hypothesis. Analysis presents various challenges to drawing statistical inferences about treatment effects. This dissertation explored...

Undergraduate Research as a Tool to Promote Diversity, Equity, and Success in STEM: Exploring Potential Barriers and Solutions to Access for Students from Historically Underrepresented Groups

Creator:: Pierszalowski, Sophie P.
Abstract:: In response to concern over a lack of diversity in STEM postsecondary programs, institutions of higher education across the nation have promoted opportunities for undergraduate research. Such opportunities have been shown to enrich student experiences and success, especially for students from historically underrepresented groups. While these benefits have been fairly...

Mixed-Severity Fire Effects on Biological Legacies and Vegetation Response in Pseudotsuga Forests of Western Oregon's Central Cascades, USA

Creator:: Dunn, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Mixed-severity fire occurrence is increasingly recognized in Pseudotsuga forests of the Pacific Northwest, but questions remain about how tree mortality varies, and forest structure is altered, across the disturbance gradient observed in these fires. Therefore, we sampled live and dead biological legacies at 45 one ha plots, with four 0.10...

Instructors as learning managers : span of control as a factor of class size in higher education

Creator:: McKiel, Carol J.
Abstract:: Research suggests that a key factor in student persistence and success is the relationships students form with faculty (Chickering & Gamson, 1991; Kuh et al., 2005; Tinto, 1987). While it appears to be intuitive that small classes would promote these instructor/student relationships, research on class size provides conflicting results, with...

Past climate variability in southwestern Oregon and relationships with regional and hemispheric climate

Creator:: Ersek, Vasile
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of three studies that assessed climate variability on short and long timescales in western United States. The growth of carbonate formations in caves (speleothems) is used to infer the timing and amplitude of past climate variability. We first assess the controls on speleothem growth for...

Exploring the Relationship Between Scientists’ Perspectives on Learning and Engagement in Outreach

Creator:: Barthel, Cèleste Frazier
Abstract:: Over the last several decades, there has been a marked increase in the amount of science outreach to the public with little attention paid to how scientists who conduct outreach perceive learning and how that applies to their outreach activities. This increase in outreach efforts is linked to the National...

Designing An Effective Approach to Science Teacher Educator Professional Development : Lessons from the Science Education Faculty Academy

Creator:: St. Clair, Tyler L.
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of a set of three manuscripts exploring features of effective professional development (PD) for science teacher educators. Literature about context-specific PD for science teacher educators is sparse. The first manuscript, a literature review, outlines theoretical lenses through which PD can be understood, the features of effective PD,...
