McCormick, Dean School of Education DEDICATION To my grandfather JeongSuk Kang who gave me endless love like the stars in the universe. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am sincerely and heartily grateful to those who made this dissertation possible. I would not have been at this stage of my dissertation without the help and support of them. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Allan Feldman for his guidance, support, and encouragement throughout the whole doctoral program. Furthermore, I would like to thank Prof. John Clement for his insightful comments and encouragement, and Prof. Stephen Schneider for his kind support and comments in astronomy education. I was lucky that I met the three scholars and had opportunities of working with them. I extend my gratitude to Prof. Kathleen Davis for her warmhearted cheer, Prof. William Leonard who introduced me a teacher, Mary, for the study, Prof. William Gerace and Prof. Ian Beatty for giving me the opportunity of working as a research assistant at the Scientific Reasoning Research Institute for the past five years. I would like to thank Prof. Yaron Schur for his comments on the curriculum development, and Mary and her students who participated in this study. It has been a long journey to earn a doctoral degree. When I started the study, there were only me and my husband, and now we have two lovely children. I would like to give my special thanks and love to my husband Ilsang Yoon for his love and continuous support, and to my two little boys, Seungwoo and Kunwoo, who always bring happiness. Special commendations to my mother, relatives and friends in Korea, thank you for your encouragement and prayer. I will miss the memories and friends at Amherst. I would like to thank my wonderful neighbors, friends, daycare and preschool teachers of my children, UHS pediatricians and nurses for their warmhearted welcome and friendships. Amherst became my second hometown, and it is the place where my two boys were born and met their first friends and teachers. I will remember the beautiful colors of the trees in Fall, kids sledding in the snowstorm in Winter, the fragrance of flowers and the breeze of Spring, and all the greenness in Summer. They are all in me. Thanks for all the moments at Amherst. v ABSTRACT A NEW APPROACH TO USING PHOTOGRAPHS AND CLASSROOM RESPONSE SYSTEMS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL ASTRONOMY CLASSES MAY 2012 HYUN JU LEE, B.S., EWHA WOMANS UNIVERSITY, Korea M.S., SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Korea Ed.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Allan Feldman This study reports middle school astronomy classes that implemented photographs and classroom response systems (CRSs) in a discussion-oriented pedagogy with a curriculum unit for the topics of day-night and cause of seasons. In the new pedagogy, a teacher presented conceptual questions with photographs, her 6th grade students responded using the CRSs, and the teacher facilitated classroom discussion based on the student responses. I collected various data: classroom observation with field-note taking and videotaping, student pre- and post-conception tests, student attitude survey and classroom short surveys, and teacher interviews. Classroom video recordings and teacher interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed with the grounded theory approach. This approach was used to analyze the open responses of the student attitude survey as well. Pre- and post- conception tests consisted of open-ended questions and they were scored based upon rubrics. Numerical data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and simple t-tests. In this study, I answered three research questions: 1) student-teacher discourses and interaction patterns while learning and teaching with the photographs and CRSs in the new pedagogy; 2) 6th grade students’ misconceptions about the concepts of day-night and cause of seasons, and their knowledge gains after they had the intervention; and 3) the students’ and the teacher’s attitude toward the new curriculum and the new pedagogy. Finally, I discuss the student-teacher interaction model and three important teacher-questionings in this pedagogy; levels of misconceptions; and the pedagogical roles of the photographs and CRSs.

    Accommodating Climate Change Science: James Hansen and the Rhetorical/Political Emergence of Global Warming

    Science in Context 26(1), 137–152 (2013). Copyright ©C Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0269889712000312 Accommodating Climate Change Science: James Hansen and the Rhetorical/Political Emergence of Global War ming Richard D. Besel California Polytechnic State University E-mail: [email protected] Argument Dr. James Hansen’s 1988 testimony before the U.S. Senate was an important turning point in the history of global climate change. However, no studies have explained why Hansen’s scientific communication in this deliberative setting was more successful than his testimonies of 1986 and 1987. This article turns to Hansen as an important case study in the rhetoric of accommodated science, illustrating how Hansen successfully accommodated his rhetoric to his non-scientist audience given his historical conditions and rhetorical constraints. This article (1) provides a richer explanation for the rhetorical/political emergence of global warming as an important public policy issue in the United States during the late 1980s and (2) contributes to scholarly understanding of the rhetoric of accommodated science in deliberative settings, an often overlooked area of science communication research. Standing on the promontory of the rocky rims in Billings, Montana, there is usually a distinct horizontal line between the clear, blue sky and the white, snowcapped Beartooth Mountains. But the summer of 1988 was different. A fuzzy, reddish tint lingered across the once pristine skyline of “Big Sky Country.” The reason: More than one hundred miles to the south, Yellowstone National Park smoldered in one of the most devastating forest fires of the twentieth century (Anon. 1988, A18; Stevens 1999, 129–130).

    The Dilemma of Reticence: Helmut Landsberg, Stephen Schneider, and Public Communication of Climate Risk, 1971-1976

    History of Meteorology 6 (2014) 53 The Dilemma of Reticence: Helmut Landsberg, Stephen Schneider, and public communication of climate risk, 1971-1976 Gabriel Henderson Aarhus University Aarhus, Denmark “Most of the crucial issues of human survival that will confront humanity over the next few decades will call for ethical and political value judgments – decisions on how to act in the face of uncertainties. … Human value judgments are too important to be left exclusively to the experts.” – Stephen Schneider1 “Science is not as objective as some people think. Often human value judgments (or even prejudices) make things move as much as curiosity or the search for answers as to ‘why.’” – Helmut Landsberg2 During the tumultuous mid-1970s, when energy and food shortages, environmental pollution, and political instability induced suspicions that America was increasingly susceptible to increased climatic instability, American climatologists Helmut Landsberg and Stephen Schneider disagreed strongly on whether scientists should engage the public about the future risks and urgency of climate change. On the one hand, Schneider, a young climate modeler with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), expressed explicitly an unwillingness to embrace reticence as an appropriate response to the risks of climate change. To illustrate the gravity of the situation, he frequently resorted to vivid and frightening metaphors to convince the public and policy makers that I want to express my gratitude to Ruth Morgan and the anonymous reviewer who contributed thoughtful suggestions to improve and refine the scope of this article. I would also like to thank my colleagues at the Center for Science Studies at Aarhus University for their suggestions to strengthen my narrative and flow of argument: Dania Achermann, Matthias Heymann, and Janet Martin-Nielsen.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.
