Applying Photovoice to uncover fundamental causes of health inequality in local health contexts
Introduction: Participatory action research methods like Photovoice are uniquely equipped to identify structural determinants of health based on lived experiences of how they influence proximal and distal population health outcomes. This study uses Photovoice data to examine how structural determinants impact community health needs. Methods: Qualitative thematic analysis used focus group discussion data (25 transcripts) from four Kentucky countie…
Wrangling Real-World Data: Optimizing Clinical Research Through Factor Selection with Lasso Regression
Data-driven approaches to clinical research are necessary for understanding and effectively treating infectious diseases. However, challenges such as issues with data validity, lack of collaboration, and difficult-to-treat infectious diseases (e.g., those that are rare or newly emerging) hinder research. Prioritizing innovative methods to facilitate the continued use of data generated during routine clinical care for research, but in an organized…
Teaching Introductory Chemistry Online: The Application of Socio-Cognitive Theories to Improve Students’ Learning Outcomes
The purpose of this randomized experimental study is to apply two socio-cognitive models to understand possible ways to improve students’ learning outcomes in an online introductory chemistry learning environment. Specifically, the social presence theory suggested that students’ sense of relatedness and learning motivation can be increased by a real or imagined interaction with others. On the other hand, self-regulated learning theory and self-de…
The Push and Pull of Digital Humanities: Topic Modeling the What is digital humanities? Genre
In this paper we run a topic model on over 300 article-length pieces from the extended bibliography of Melissa Terras, Juliette Nyhan, and Edward Vanhoutte’s edited collection Defining Digital Humanities. We use this topic model as a way to think through entry into the digital humanities as a negotiation between warm invitation and gatekeeping, the pull and push of digital humanities. We then analyze the metadata we collected about these pieces t…
A Social Network Analysis of the Impact of a Teacher and Student Community on Academic Motivation in a Science Classroom
(1) Background: The Teacher and student community plays an important role in students’ academic development. Previous studies showed that students’ academic success is influenced by their social relations in school. This study extended to use a mix of social network analysis and survey methodology to understand how eighth-grade students’ network and perceived teacher’s support relate to their academic motivation. (2) Methods: A total of 95 eighth…
