A Study Examining the Impact of Vocabulary Instruction on the Vocabulary Growth and Acquisition of Adults Enrolled in a Community College Developmental Reading Course
Title
A Study Examining the Impact of Vocabulary Instruction on the Vocabulary Growth and Acquisition of Adults Enrolled in a Community College Developmental Reading Course.
Abstract/Description
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of four instructional methods - context clues, definition, elaboration technique, or word parts and word families on the vocabulary growth and acquisition of adults enrolled in a community college developmental reading course. The study investigated whether performance in any or all of the four instructional methods was moderated by age or language. Seventy three respondents participated in the study. Participants were enrolled in one of...
Show moreThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of four instructional methods - context clues, definition, elaboration technique, or word parts and word families on the vocabulary growth and acquisition of adults enrolled in a community college developmental reading course. The study investigated whether performance in any or all of the four instructional methods was moderated by age or language. Seventy three respondents participated in the study. Participants were enrolled in one of five sections of College Reading Preparatory II (REA0002) offered in the Spring of 2009 at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida. All five sections of REA0002 were taught by the same professor, a tenured faculty member, chair of the developmental reading department and Associate Professor of Developmental Reading at Indian River State College. The instruction and tests in all five sections of REA0002 were consistent with the research design which insured continuity and consistency in the use of the four instructional methods. All participants received the same treatment and quizzes. During the course of the study, participants first received a pretest, then the treatment or instruction, followed by an instructional quiz, and a delayed post-test was administered at the end of the study. An analysis of the data, which included the pretest, instructional quizzes with four quizzes independently and then combined for an aggregate score for an immediate post-test, and the delayed post-test, yielded mixed results. The four instructional quizzes independently showed definition instruction to have the highest positive impact on student learning. In a measure of gains from pretest to instructional quizzes immediately after treatment, significant improvement in student learning was found only with word parts instruction. In a measure of performance from pretest to immediate post-test (aggregate score of instructional quizzes) there was a significant gain in students’ vocabulary competence, and from pretest to delayed post-test there was a significant decrement in students’ vocabulary competence. Age and language moderated vocabulary competence. Further tests of equivalency were mixed and should be interpreted cautiously, as there were a very small number of students in the group of 25 years or older and non-native English speakers.

Accuracy of 3D printed Models vs Traditional Stone Models
Title
Accuracy of 3D printed Models vs Traditional Stone Models.
Abstract/Description
3D models are an essential device used in various fields of dentistry. Dental models are used for the fabrication of crowns, dentures, orthodontic treatments, and surgical equipment. Traditionally, 3D models are created from gypsum stone. However, 3D printed resin may provide a higher degree of precision and ease of sharing between professionals. Multiple studies have confirmed the accuracy of the Trios 3Shape 3D scanner, but few studies provide information on the reliability of 3D printers....
Show more3D models are an essential device used in various fields of dentistry. Dental models are used for the fabrication of crowns, dentures, orthodontic treatments, and surgical equipment. Traditionally, 3D models are created from gypsum stone. However, 3D printed resin may provide a higher degree of precision and ease of sharing between professionals. Multiple studies have confirmed the accuracy of the Trios 3Shape 3D scanner, but few studies provide information on the reliability of 3D printers. The purpose of this study is to determine the dimensional accuracy of 3D printed models for future application in dental and orthodontic treatments. Four anonymous participants received an alginate impression and 3D dental scans on the upper and lower dental arches for a resulting sample size of n=4. Prints were made from a Form Labs Form 2 3D printer and an Anycubic Photon 3D printer. These prints, as well as the gypsum model resulting from the alginate impression, were designated specific dental markers in which measurements were taken. Graphs of width and height were constructed after data analysis on Excel. There were no statistically different measurements between models of the same patient. Expected statistical differences were seen between patients, due to being different samples, which helped to validate the width and height measurements as statistically sound. This indicates that the measurements taken from stone models are as accurate as the 3D printed models. 3D printed models would be beneficial for cost reduction for orthodontic treatment and provide immediate surgical guides or dental study models.

Advancements in dental pulp stem cells for potential therapeutic applications
Title
Advancements in dental pulp stem cells for potential therapeutic applications.
Abstract/Description
Dental pulp stem cell research has provided new understanding regarding the subtle differences from the more commonly studied mesenchymal stem cells. The ability to differentiate into various types of cells, the ease of extraction, and ability to maintain clonogenic properties in cell cultures have led dental pulp stem cells to be an attractive alternative focus in stem cell therapeutic research. The recent research advancements that have led an endeavor for application in medicine and...

Benefits of Open Educational Resources Adoption
Title
Benefits of Open Educational Resources Adoption.
Abstract/Description
Through a series of workshops and incentives faculty will learn the benefits of adopting open educational resources (OER) in their classroom in place of costly publisher provided textbooks. Participants will commit to adopting OER in their course for at least three semesters. Indian River State College librarians know the value of OER having only taught credit courses using OER materials. Furthermore, librarians specialize in collecting, storing, describing, and evaluating information....
Show moreThrough a series of workshops and incentives faculty will learn the benefits of adopting open educational resources (OER) in their classroom in place of costly publisher provided textbooks. Participants will commit to adopting OER in their course for at least three semesters. Indian River State College librarians know the value of OER having only taught credit courses using OER materials. Furthermore, librarians specialize in collecting, storing, describing, and evaluating information. Knowledge of OER and access to over one million library licensed scholarly materials makes a librarian the best person to implement college-wide, innovative OER adoption. This application was successful in receiving the Gladys Williams Wolf Endowed Teaching Chair in Communications on Monday, April 4, 2016.
