Item The Efficacy of Team-Based Learning in Histology(2010) Brokaw, James J.; Condon, Keith W.Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an instructional strategy in which traditional lectures are replaced with in-class activities that promote group discussion and active learning. Students are expected to master the basic facts and concepts of the subject matter prior to coming to class. We sought to determine whether the knowledge obtained using TBL is comparable to that obtained using traditional lectures, and whether students have a preference for either instructional method. From 2006-2008, the students in a graduate histology course were taught the structure and function of the basic tissues using TBL. Other topics in the course were taught using lectures, so the students experienced both instructional methods. Using the same 59 multiple-choice questions, we tested the students’ knowledge about the basic tissues, and compared the results to those obtained in 2005, when the basic tissue material was taught using lectures. In 2006-2008, the mean ± SD exam performance after TBL (87.5 ± 7.5, n = 32; 83.9 ± 11.1, n = 36; 78.9 ± 13.2, n = 24) was similar to that observed in 2005 after lectures (82.7 ± 12.0, n = 39). When asked to respond to the statement, “I prefer TBL sessions rather than traditional lectures”, 40.4% of the students agreed or strongly agreed, 23.4% disagreed or strongly disagreed, and 36.0% had no opinion (89 of 92 students responding). These results suggest that TBL and lectures produce comparable learning outcomes, at least as measured on a multiple-choice exam, and that students have a mild preference for the TBL format.Item Graduate Student and Undergraduate Medical Student Adoption of ORCID: Establishing Benchmarks(Midwest Chapter/MLA 2024 Conference, 2024-10-11) MacIsaac, Olivia; Morgan, Teryn; Ramirez, Mirian; Odell, Jere D.Objective A key use case for ORCID at the university is to support early career researchers, including graduate students and medical students. Librarians at a university with a large medical school have promoted the adoption of ORCID. However, apart from occasional anecdotes, little is known about the outcomes of these efforts. In this study we establish an adoption rate for this population. This study aims to establish ORCID adoption rates among graduate students, providing a benchmark for future efforts. Methods We acquired a complete list of currently enrolled graduate students (2023-2024) from the registrar (n=8180). We randomized these records to create a sample of 375 students. We then coded this sample for the status of the student's ORCID account (unfound, found, likely found, and unable to verify). Results Across the sample we found that 8.5% of graduate students (n=32) had registered an ORCID with identifying information. Another 13% (n=50) of students in the sample appear to have created an ORCID record but have not shared enough data to fully affiliate them. However, this adoption rate varied widely between campus schools. Notably, the School of Medicine demonstrated a higher adoption rate, with 32% (22 out of 69) of sampled students having identifiable ORCIDs. Conclusions The School of Medicine, supported by the Medical Library, has achieved better adoption rates than other schools at the university. With these rates established, the libraries can identify approaches that have been successful and more widely implement them.Item I’m Rooting for You: Cultivating Relationships with Graduate Student Workers(2024-05-02) Connell, Nicole; Hall, Danielle; Lebovitz, Sarah; Pieczko, Brandon T.; Vaughan, BennaThe current GLAM hiring culture is competitive and increasingly experience driven—students are expected to graduate from their master’s programs with varied practical experiences in addition to theoretical knowledge and familiarity with best practices in the field. What opportunities exist for both full-time and part-time students to gain these experiences, and how can practitioners help without overextending themselves? What work goes into supervising and collaborating with students? In this roundtable discussion, panelists will examine the various aspects of collaborations between professionals and student workers in archives. Hear examples from archives professionals who make space for library and archives students to gain hands-on, project-based, educational experiences that benefit their own institutions, their partner organizations, and above all, the student participants. Learn about advocating for and acquiring funding for student positions and the types of projects students complete during internships and practicum experiences, and gain insight into how practical work experience supports and supplements classroom curricula. When strong relationships exist between universities and professional archivists, students can enter the field as well-rounded,confident professionals with the experiences and peer support systems necessary to secure full-time employment.Item Resolution in Support of the IUPUI Open Access Policy and the Student Statement on the Right to Research(2020-02-28) Graduate and Professional Student Governtment, IUPUIItem Rethinking graduate student socialization and identification: how the communication discipline can help(Informa, 2020-08-24) Hoffmann-Longtin, Krista; Brann, Maria; Ridley-Merriweather, Katherine E.; Bach, Betsy Wackernagel; Department of Communication Studies, IU School of Liberal Arts
