Faculty Spotlights

Dr. Richard Zraick is Professor and formerly the Founding Director of the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders. He is a Fellow of the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association. His scholarship of teaching and learning activities focus on two areas of inquiry: (1) healthcare simulation and (2) health communication.

Dr. Zraick began his academic career at a medical sciences campus in the late 1990s. It was then that he first learned about the use of standardized (aka simulated) patients to train medical and nursing students. Curious as to whether standardized patients were being used in the discipline of communication sciences and disorders, he discovered that surprisingly, there were only a few case reports in the literature. Thus began a 20+-year journey of discovery that continues to intrigue him and which has contributed to a paradigm shift in his discipline regarding the use of simulation-based learning environments to develop the clinical skills of students in speech-language pathology and audiology. Dr. Zraick is a leading advocate for the use of standardized patients and shares his research on this topic in international peer-reviewed journals, and he regularly participates in workshops and symposia on the use of best practices in the use of healthcare simulation. Dr. Zraick is one of only a few speech-language pathologists to be recognized as a Certified Health Simulation Educator (CHSE) by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.

A “clinician at heart” Dr. Zraick has worked as a speech-language pathologist throughout his academic career, bringing decades of clinical experience into the classroom and clinic teaching environments. He has had a long-held concern that many patients struggle with limited health literacy—that is, they exhibit a diminished ability to obtain, comprehend and use health information to make informed decisions. This concern motivates a research and teaching focus on examining the best communication practices of physicians and other healthcare providers when interacting with patients with limited health literacy. Research in this area is interdisciplinary and his collaborators include physicians and nurses, public health educators, medical and other students, and experts in speech communication. Dr. Zraick and his colleagues share their research about health communication and its influence on health outcomes in international peer-reviewed journals and they conduct workshops and seminars for others wishing to learn more. The work of Dr. Zraick and his colleagues is currently taking place within the UCF Student Health Service, and has been particularly relevant given the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for clear healthcare communication.

Dr. Denise Kay is an Educational Psychologist and self-proclaimed ‘futurist’ who focuses on how current pedagogical approaches foster engagement, not only for today’s students, but for future students. Her recent research focuses on Medical Education, though she has also worked with faculty from other health profession education programs at University of Central Florida and University of Florida to design and deploy an Interprofessional Education curriculum. As an educational psychologist in a medical education setting, she works collaboratively with other faculty on scholarly projects that focus on the design and delivery of educational experiences that are grounded in theories of learning and/or instructional design and that foster student engagement, with a strong preference for instruction that triggers higher order thinking, conceptual change and/or professional identity formation. For example, Learning theories 101: application to everyday teaching and scholarship, provides examples of curriculum design based on each of five major learning theories. Using technology to increase student (and faculty satisfaction with) engagement in medical education reports on medical education research using learning management system features, such as ‘chat’ and ‘like’, to engage medical students in asynchronous, face-to-face and virtual synchronous learning environments. Additional collaborative scholarship projects include:

Dr. Kay’s current research interest includes understanding how medical students’ own lifestyle goal management (initiating and maintaining their own lifestyle change goals) impacts their perspectives of patient adherence to prescribed lifestyle modification recommendations and using Artificial Intelligence to score Observed Structured Clinical Exam Patient Encounter Notes.

Dr. Mindi Anderson’s program of research focuses on the development and application of simulation and technology, which contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing. Her cumulative body of work surrounding simulation/technology relates to best practices. Much of her twelve years of research focuses on examination of outcomes of the use of simulation and technology in nursing education. Her multifaceted approach to best practices is based in the fundamentals of simulation which includes multiple simulation types/technologies: manikin-based, standardized or simulated patients (SPs), hybrid, computer-based/virtual/augmented reality, and distance/telehealth. Her goal is to determine and set the best practices in education through evaluation of participant outcomes (i.e., knowledge, confidence, effective nurse/patient/team communication, critical thinking, psychomotor skills, etc.). Comparison of one type of simulation over another and intra/interprofessional simulation are additional foci. Her research also includes aspects of the simulation experience, such as realism or debriefing, and care of vulnerable populations, as well as faculty development/standards in simulation. Her research has also led to the development of multiple tools applicable to the implementation and outcome evaluation of simulation pedagogy.

Dr. Jacqueline Towson’s scholarship of teaching and learning centers on building the capacity of individuals working with young children experiencing language impairments and those considered at-risk through empirical evaluation of innovative interventions and professional learning models. This research is focused on preparing practitioners to work in educational settings for children birth to five years. As early delays in language skills manifest in persistent difficulties in later reading, writing, and oral language, accompanied by the ongoing shortage of speech-language pathologists (SLPs), it is critical to establish innovative approaches and technologies to educate pre-service speech-language clinicians to work collaboratively with other stakeholders to implement evidence-based practices to improve outcomes for children. Given that children identified with language impairments and developmental delays and those at-risk present with unique profiles and environmental factors, it is critical to evaluate instructional methods best suited to prepare preservice SLPs and educators to deliver evidence-based practices across a variety of settings.

Dr. Towson’s first path of inquiry is through the examination of differentiated instruction and innovative technology (e.g., mixed reality simulation, Content Acquisition Podcasts) to allow students to be prepared to integrate essential knowledge and skills to impact positive change for children with language impairments and those at-risk. Second, Dr. Towson is developing and validating professional learning protocols for practitioners (pre/in-service) to implement effective interventions with fidelity. Third, she is interested in understanding the unique factors that predict success for graduate students in speech-language pathology programs and how those factors can best be quantified to improve the graduate admissions process in her field. In support of her work, Dr. Towson received the New Investigator Award through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation and a grant from the Central Florida Foundation 100 Women Strong Giving Circle.

Dr. Su-I Hou’s scholarship of teaching and learning has focused on the impact of integrating service-learning pedagogy into student assessment, especially in core public health competencies areas such as program planning, implementation, and evaluation. Course-based service-learning pedagogy, providing valuable hands-on real-world experience, can deepen learning and before students enter internship or capstone phases. Dr. Hou has developed a number of validated instruments to measure the infusion of service-learning on student competency-based learning outcomes, including The Service-Learning Self-Efficacy Scale on Program Planning Competencies (SL-SEPP) and Program Development and Implementation Competencies (SL-SEPDI) (Hou, 2009; Hou, 2017). Dr. Hou has also conducted service-learning research among faculty in higher education. Her pioneer work of the web-based Faculty Service-Learning Belief Inventory (wFSLBI), published by the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, has been used by scholars internationally. This much needed measurement tool assesses adoption stages, as well as perceived pros and cons towards service-learning pedagogy for tailored faculty development programs (Hou, 2010).

Service-Learning: Perspectives, Goals and Outcomes

Rates of anxiety and depression are on the rise among undergraduates and have become a concern among colleges and universities. My research focuses on how anxiety and depression affect students’ experiences in college science learning environments, such as active learning classrooms and undergraduate research experiences. In one study, we explored student anxiety in active learning science classrooms where students engage in their own learning through activities and discussion. We found that active learning can decrease student anxiety when students perceive that they learn better through active learning activities, but it can also increase student anxiety regarding social situations such as interacting with other students during groupwork or speaking out in front of the whole class. In another study, we explored how undergraduate research experiences affect students with depression. We found that students’ social connections, failing in science, getting help, receiving feedback, and the demands of research affected students’ depression. The goal of this work is to identify ways to make college science learning environments more inclusive for students with anxiety and depression.

Large classes tend, out of necessity, to be lecture-driven, which can make student engagement difficult. Digital learning can enhance student engagement in various ways. For example, small online discussions can increase interaction and participation. In one study, we compared the benefits of small group, large class, and online discussions and found that small-group discussions tend to have higher perceived benefits than large-class discussions and show some indicators of “democratizing” the classroom. In a separate study, we investigated the effect of preceptors on critical thinking skills in online classes and found that high-quality postings early on in a discussion have a positive effect on subsequent postings. Our work in this area was recognized by the Information Technology & Politics Section of the American Political Science Association with a Best Research Paper prize.
