CEHD Research In Press: December 2023

NEWS 

Dr. Harry Liu has earned the esteemed Early Career Scholar Award from AIESEP 2024 and is preparing to present two projects at the AIESEP Annual Meeting in Jyväskylä, Finland, from May 13-17th, 2024. AIESEP, the Association Internationale des Écoles Supérieures d’Éducation Physique, stands as the International Organization for Physical Education in Higher Education, with a rich legacy in sports pedagogy. Dr. Liu’s submissions for AIESEP 2024 include “Promoting Motivation and Skill Development in Physical Education Teacher Education: A Hybrid Model Approach” and “Tracking Motivational Beliefs and Student Emotions through Fitness-based Sport Education Phases.” His first project provides compelling evidence that a hybrid Sport Education and Play Practice model significantly enhances skill acquisition and situational interest among PE teacher trainees, more so than the traditional Sport Education model alone. His second project sheds light on how emotional responses and interest in fitness content fluctuate during the various phases of Sport Education among college students. Additionally, this work is being submitted to the European Physical Education Review last week. Dr. Liu’s insights are poised to shape the future of physical education teacher training and student engagement in fitness education. 

Dr. Akorede Teriba received an award from the UND Early Career Scholars Program. The program aims to support new faculty and other scholars on campus to develop multidisciplinary teams, build important network connections, receive mentorship, and conduct research that will lead to external proposal submissions. The goal of the project is to understand the mental health of college athletes using variables of interest and create an intervention to support their mental health. Following the completion of this project, the team plans to seek external funding to provide the developed intervention to college athletes. Akorede is joined by Drs. Ray Mitic and Rachel Navarro (senior mentor), as well as five CEHD students. 

Dr. Diana D’Amico Pawlewicz is the recipient of the UND Foundation Award for Excellence in Teaching, Research or Creative Activity and Service. This award for Outstanding Faculty Scholar honors a faculty member who has a demonstrated record of excellence in all three of these traditional faculty roles: teaching, research/creative activity and service to the university, the profession, and/or the community. The award is given on Founders Day, Thursday, February 15th, 2024.  

Dr. D’Amico Pawlewicz also published an essay in TIME magazine entitled, “The Politics of Fear Is Damaging American Education—And Has Been for Decades“

Dr. Lee Ann Williams published her new book Fundamentals of case and caseload management: Skills for rehabilitation practice (Springer). Brimming with valuable information, this is the only comprehensive text to spotlight the managerial aspects of case and caseload management in rehabilitation professional practice. Anchored in real-world practice, proven strategies, and current research, it delivers the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to effectively manage cases and caseloads to provide the best possible support and services. The unique and integrated approach to education and professional development facilitates an interdisciplinary environment that supports effective and efficient decisions within a collaborative process. 

Check out UND Today’s coverage of a recent science demonstration at Schroeder Middle School. Dr. Ryan Summers and CEHD teaching students Haley Curry, Jacob Lindemann, and Andrew Simons captivated a room packed with students and teachers by flash freezing fruit, flowers, and more with liquid nitrogen. 

Dr. Jesse Roades was featured in UND Today story “Moonwalking Made Easy” about the NASA grant partnership with Cankdeska Cikana Community College to develop lunar boot outsoles.

Dr. Emily Midkiff was featured on The Academic Minute on Inside Higher Ed discussing kids and science fiction literature.  

CEHD’s was mentioned in a recent Grand Forks Herald article about the new Vice-President for Research, “The College of Education and Human Development’s research expenditures has increased fivefold since 2018, college director of communications Kenya Zarns wrote in an email.”
