Diversity in Higher Education by Alexios Rosario-Moore https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd Answer these three questions beneath your diversity rationale: What is the theory-of-action behind the rationale? How strong is the evidence for this effect? How might you try to measure it at UIC? en-us 2022-03-16 20:58:44 UTC 2022-03-16 23:57:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Social Development amoore473 https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098851809 2022-03-16 21:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098851809 Learning Outcomes amoore473 https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098852340 2022-03-16 21:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098852340 Democracy Outcomes amoore473 https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098852513 2022-03-16 21:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098852513 Learning Outcomes: Theory-of-Action csunne2 https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098938156 A curriculum that exposes students to race/ethnicity with people coming from diverse racial/ethnic background will foster a learning environment that supports active thinking and intellectual engagement in that setting. ]]> 2022-03-16 23:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098938156 Social Development https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098940765 Social support through cultural centers/  The rationale is in a way similar to reparations, or to rectify the wrongs from the status quo

We think of evidence and how to measure this effect related because we want changes

Developing a sense of responsibility
There are problems in the yield cycle 
(anti-melt) intent to enroll deadline, we do all this programming at yield season to talk up UIC, and after this students decline or accept, then anti-melt ensures that students said they are enrolling are actually enrolling.

We talk about how diverse UIC is, but we still have a disproportionate enrollment of black students compared to other minority students. There is something that is speaking to saying its not a good fit 

To measure these effects of social development we could look at graduation rates, retention rates, and possibly surveys for newly opened cultural centers]]> 2022-03-16 23:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098940765 Democracy Outcomes https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098943736 If we see that education is a foundation of democracy in america, and that education is a necessity to get a good job in the future, then the more diverse an institution has proven to show a greater influence on students to succeed in their career in the future

The compatability between difference and democracy. How diverse perspectives and the presence of diversity allows others to grow]]> 2022-03-16 23:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098943736 Learning Outcomes: how strong is the evidence? https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098945104 20 years of social psychology have confirmed that most thinking is done mindlessly. Those who are in familiar situations will think "on autopilot": if they become familiar with a lot of complex social structures, they will have better cognitive growth, due to the higher exposure to others' challenges.]]> 2022-03-16 23:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098945104 Learning Outcomes https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098946625 Theory of Action: students being in a diverse learning environment, using social psychology
Exposing students to knowledge about race/ ethnicity acquired through curriculum + environment and interactions will foster an environment that supports active thinking

Evidence: Educators to interrupt "automatic psychological processes" and to facilitate active thinking among students & peers.

Measuring at UIC: discussion v lecture; summer programmings to bridge high schoolers to college

One way is to have students within such a course keep a required self-reflection (journal or diary entries) about the topics learned in the course during the semester that can be shared with the class and read by the instructor(s). A second way to measure within the classroom is to have students record new things (such as perspectives) learned within the course (through survey, self-written record kept by the student, etc.). Another method to measure would be to see if racially/ethnically-motivated incidents decrease over time on the campus by examining such data gathered from campus police and other offices dealing with such measures. Another measure is to see if there is an increase in participation in racial/ethnic groups on campus or increase in development of activities by such groups on campus.]]> 2022-03-16 23:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098950599 Democracy Outcomes https://padlet.com/amoore473/j21pf6e29kyj6fkd/wish/2098953668
Students that learn in diverse institution are more likely to be motivate and better able to strive on society.
