Implementing Interprofessional Education: Challenges for CSD Graduate Programs
(Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders, 2022) Edwards, Claire M.; Newell, Jason M.
The focus on interprofessional education (IPE) for professional training programs in allied health professions, such as speech-language pathology, has recently increased. There is currently limited pedagogical literature regarding both the instruction and application of IPE in any given discipline. This paper will outline challenges CSD graduate programs may face when implementing IPE content within the existing curricula and explore possible solutions. Delineation of preparation and integration process of an IPE course taught at a small liberal arts university where it was cross-listed in two undergraduate pre-professional programs in speech-language pathology and social work will be provided. Elements of the course, including delivery, descriptions of assignments, and projects, will also be discussed and how this undergraduate course may facilitate implementing IPE content into the graduate curriculum.
Using AR to Teach AR: Learning Outcomes of a Guided, Augmented Reality Hearing Loss and Auditory Rehabilitation Simulation with SLP Graduate Students
(Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders, 2024) Henton, Alice; Vansant, Mathew
Recent research has found that practicing speech-language pathologists report feeling underprepared to provide services for individuals with hearing loss. At the same time, graduate SLP programs report that students have fewer training opportunities with low-incidence populations. This study examines learning outcomes for a cohort of graduate SLP students using a novel application of an immersive, augmented reality, hearing loss simulation. Results show encouraging outcomes for the simulation experience’s effects on empathy, knowledge, and clinical skills. This simulation offers a unique way to provide training related to auditory rehabilitation in SLP.
Literature and Early Studies of the Mind: Alchemical Imagery and Meaning in La Ilustre Fregona, an Exemplary Novel by Miguel de Cervantes
(eHumanista, 2024) Stoops, Rosa María
Miguel de Cervantes’ exemplary novel La ilustre fregona of 1614 reveals brilliant observations of the processes through which psychological awareness, individual, and social transformation can be attained. An esoteric, alchemical reading of the story provides clues to the hidden mysteries admitted by Cervantes in the Prologue and help explain images, language, and character configuration which are comparable to the processes of individuation and adaptation that Carl Gustave Jung explored in his practice documented in his seminal works about the relationship between psychology and alchemy four centuries later.
La novela ejemplar de Miguel de Cervantes La ilustre fregona de 1614 revela brillantes observaciones de los procesos a través de los cuales se puede alcanzar la conciencia psicológica y la transformación individual y social. Una lectura esotérica y alquímica de la historia proporciona pistas sobre los misterios ocultos admitidos por Cervantes en el Prólogo y ayuda a explicar imágenes, lenguaje y configuración de personajes que son comparables a los procesos de individuación y adaptación que Carl Gustave Jung exploró en su práctica documentada en sus trabajos seminales sobre la relación entre psicología y alquimia cuatro siglos más tarde.
