wow Ok. I have to say that I'm really impressed. My blog has gotten 20 hits. I know they're not all from me, so, I'm excited. If you are interested in the research I'm pursing, please email me at tricia.odonnell@temple.edu. I would love to hear from other researchers. Networking is invaluable and your feedback is always welcome! I'm also involved in clinical research, specifically relational aggression. Anyone with interests in this area, I also encourage you to contact me. And if you're irritated with your research, I can lend a sympathetic ear too. I know how it is! Best of luck to all who are blessed and cursed with research projects! ( Sep 10 2005, 10:49:40 PM EDT ) Permalink Comments [1786]

Intermediate Impact Profile: A Descriptive Portrait of College Students who Have Taken The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program Welcome to my weblog. I have never done anything like this before, so bear with me if you happen to stumble across this space and find little to interest you.

The title above refers to a research project I am undertaking sponsored by Temple University in conjunction with the Diamond Scholar's Program and The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program. For more information on Inside-Out, click on any of the highlighted links. My research project is the beginning of an initiative to evaluate and assess The Inside-Out model of teaching. This model is based on three concepts: experiential learning, higher education in correctional facilities, and social justice learning/behaviors.

As I am an undergraduate student working under a deadline, I am focusing on evaluating the social justice learning/behaviors of college students who have taken an Inside-Out course. Unfortunately, I am using a retroactive questionnaire, which limits my data to descriptive and at best correlative results. However, this has been a good exercise in survey construction and its relation to conceptual themes. This research project is possible thanks to the good people at QuestionPro who will give me a student research license for posting their link to this page.
