The interactive archives: social media and outreach

Sinclair, Joan Marguerite 23 August 2012 (has links)
In recent years, archival attention has turned towards the ways in which new digital media can be used to enable greater access to archives. The information in an archives means very little if it is not accessible and used and the use of social media can address the longstanding archival problem: that archives have been difficult to use and thus perceived as inaccessible. By overcoming some of the limitations of traditional outreach, the 2.0 world holds new hope for expanding the number of users and uses of archives and thus increases the value of archives to society. This thesis will address the question of what social media means to archival outreach in three chapters. The first chapter will review the function of outreach in a Canadian context with a review of outreach activities at LAC and the Archives of Manitoba. The second chapter will examine the nature of web 2.0 tools as they apply to archival outreach. The final chapter will present the idea of using social media for outreach, using the Archives of Manitoba as an example institution. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the importance of outreach to the future of archives and a consideration of how social media as outreach tools can help archives remain relevant, accessible and visible to society. It is critical for archives to respond to and embrace this technology shift, which enables greater interaction between archives and their users, or find themselves increasingly marginalized and their role as information providing institutions threatened.

The feasibility of clinical research in undergraduate dental outreach

Richardson, Kerry Norval January 2018 (has links)
<b>Aim</b>: To test the feasibility of undergraduate dental outreach clinics as an environment in which to support the conduction of clinical research studies. <b>Methods</b>: In order to test the ability to carry out clinical research in dental outreach clinics, a simple trial was set up to be conducted in outreach clinics. The Dental Outreach Oral Hygiene Study (DOOHS) was a prospective randomised controlled cluster trial investigating the effectiveness of oral hygiene instruction. This trial was based on a previously used clinical study but was conducted in dental outreach clinics. It involved the six dental outreach clinics attended by University of Dundee dental students at the time and two year groups of final year dental students. For the purposes of the study, dental students were trained as clinical researchers. Students underwent Good Clinical Practice and study protocol training. The intervention students were additionally trained to deliver the intervention oral hygiene instruction which was enhanced with a psychological framework of Tell-Show-Do-Plan. All dental students under the supervision of outreach clinicians were considered collaborators in the clinical research. The post study views of supervisors, patients and final year dental students involved with DOOHS were collected by questionnaire and focus groups. These together with the results of the study were used to assess the feasibility of the environment for clinical research. <b>DOOHS Results</b>:Two year groups of final year dental students underwent training and subsequently collaborated with the clinical research study ‘DOOHS’. All dental outreach clinics associated with the University of Dundee at that time were involved. DOOHS recruited 165 participants across 6 outreach clinics. Sixty-four percent of participants return for clinical (plaque and bleeding) measures at three months and 75% of questionnaire returns at three months. At six months this dropped to 55% of the original number of participants returning for clinical measures and 63% of questionnaire returns. Both the intervention and control groups saw a reduction in plaque scores at three months. This was statistically significant for the intervention group (Related samples Friedman’s Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks, Significance 0.002). <b>Overall Results</b>:The clinical study approvals were granted without problem. NHS R&D approval took a long time and this held up the start date of DOOHS.By their final year, dental students are not particularly interested in carrying out clinical research studies investigating something as simple as oral hygiene instruction. Clinical research needs to be ‘sold’ well to dental students and properly integrated into the undergraduate curriculum if students are to consider it part of ‘normal’ dentistry. Training dental students for collaboration in clinical research studies needs to be carried out by clinicians who are used to teaching students, not researchers if the students are to maintain interest in the topic. Dental outreach clinics require additional support for clinical research studies, especially the paperwork which was considered arduous. Dental nurses prove to be essential to organisation of the students during the research period and to the tracking of participants during the study and therefore to the clinical research process. <b>Conclusions</b>: It is feasible to conduct clinical research studies in undergraduate dental outreach clinics however close attention needs to be paid to the timing within the curriculum, the design of the study and training of dental students. Clinics require additional administrative support. Dental nurses are essential to clinical research in dental outreach.

Using Insects for STEM Outreach: Development and Evaluation of the UA Insect Discovery Program

Beal, Benjamin D., Beal, Benjamin D. January 2016 (has links)
Science and technology impact most aspects of modern daily life. It is therefore important to create a scientifically literate society. Since the majority of Americans do not take college-level science courses, strong K-12 science education is essential. At the K-5 level, however, many teachers lack the time, resources and background for effective science teaching. Elementary teachers and students may benefit from scientist-led outreach programs created by Cooperative Extension or other institutions. One example is the University of Arizona Insect Discovery Program, which provides short-duration programing that uses insects to support science content learning, teach critical thinking and spark interest in science. We conducted evaluations of the Insect Discovery programming to determine whether the activities offered were accomplishing program goals. Pre-post tests, post program questionnaires for teachers, and novel assessments of children’s drawings were used as assessment tools. Assessments were complicated by the short duration of the program interactions with the children as well as their limited literacy. In spite of these difficulties, results of the pre-post tests indicated a significant impact on content knowledge and critical thinking skills. Based on post-program teacher questionnaires, positive impacts on interest in science learning were noted as much as a month after the children participated in the program. New programming and resources developed to widen the potential for impact are also described.

People not Print: Exploring Engineering Future Possible Self Development in Rural Areas of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau

Boynton, Matthew Arnold 06 February 2014 (has links)
This study explores how students in rural areas of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau area perceive engineering as a future career. This area is a portion of the greater Appalachian region, which has historically, faced disproportionate economic struggles when compared to other areas of the United States. However, little research on career choice exists outside of the coal producing areas of Central Appalachia. This research, in contrast, focuses on rural counties without interstate access, situated along the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, an area with an economy historically based in manufacturing. This research focuses on understanding students' perceptions of engineering as a future career and on factors that support and inhibit the development of these perceptions. To understand these perceptions, the study used qualitative, semi-structured interviews, situated in a Social Constructivist worldview, informed by the Future Possible Selves framework. Participants include 27 high school students, 7 college engineering students, and 5 college students who had exposure to engineering through a formal program but are currently enrolled in another major. Results of the study show that without access to formal programs or professionals to expose them to engineering, participants did not have a clear perception of engineering, and were not likely to pursue this career. Exposure through a formal program seemed to spark the start of engineering future possible self development by aligning engineering with activities participants enjoy. However, these participants often also believed that they lacked some key "ability" needed to become an engineer. Participants who had access to both formal programs and professionals were able to provide a clear description of potential engineering careers, aligning such careers with activities they enjoyed and, importantly, with desired attributes of their future. In addition, participants typically described relationships with professionals as mitigating the fear that an engineering career was beyond their "ability." These results provide evidence, that in this study area, printed materials and programs are not enough; people clearly make the difference in helping students develop a clear perception of engineering as a viable future career choice. This result has multiple implications for engineering educators and industries interested in K-12 outreach. / Ph. D.
