Background: Teachers at the orphanage in Ghana face challenges due to limited resources and training in effective classroom management and differentiated instruction. With 14 teachers and 93 students, there is a pressing need to support teachers in addressing the diverse needs of their students.

Purpose: This study aims to develop tailored professional development mini-lessons to enhance teachers’ classroom management techniques and implementation of differentiated instruction strategies at the orphanage.

Specific Research Problem: Given the resource constraints and diverse student population, how can professional development programs be designed and implemented effectively to support teachers in improving classroom management and implementing differentiated instruction strategies in the context of the orphanage in Ghana, Africa?

Dissemination: Create digital resources such as instructional videos, webinars, or e-books that can be accessed by teachers globally. These resources can be hosted on educational platforms, websites, or social media channels. Presentation with an accompanying visual (PPT, Google Slides/CANVA/Youtube). This information can also be shared at the Student Research Conference.

The primary objective of this research is to investigate how cognitive architectures can assist malware analysts in comprehending the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by threat actors. By utilizing cognitive modeling techniques, analysts can discern behavioral patterns and signatures unique to specific adversaries or threat actor groups. Through this analysis, insights can be gained into the decision-making processes behind coding choices in malware design.

Furthermore, this study aims to map identified behavioral patterns to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. By aligning these patterns with specific ATT&CK techniques, analysts can deepen their understanding of how coding styles contribute to different stages of the attack lifecycle, spanning from initial access to data exfiltration. This integrated approach promises to enhance the effectiveness of malware analysis and strengthen defenses against evolving cyber threats.

In collaboration with a local interior designer/ MU alum, Interior Design Industry partners, and MU faculty, you will have the opportunity to research optimal interior design living spaces and their material properties. This project will build on past research publications and the 2023 presentations by MU faculty and the 2023 Research Fellow to get the message out about healthy interior spaces for the aging adult, but now with the use of BIM and VR. The work will continue to be shared through community-focused publications and as references in the MU Interior Architecture + Design Classrooms.

In order for CWIDD to grow up to be independent and enjoy inclusion in their communities it is vital for their family caregivers to be healthy and feel supported. Therefore, the research team will adapt existing caregiver assessment tools to be linguistically and culturally applicable to Latino/Hispanic caregivers of CWIDD. We will accomplish this by creating and revising a set of caregiver assessment tools adapted for applicability to the caregiver experience of Latino/Hispanic family caregivers of CWIDD and engaging Latino/Hispanic family caregivers of CWIDD in feedback on the cultural and linguistic applicability of the selected tools commonly used to assess the caregiver’s experience. By embarking on this project, we hope to improve our understanding of the caregiving experience of Latino/Hispanic family caregivers of CWIDD and the related ability to meet the needs of CWIDD and their caregivers in Latino/Hispanic households.

Another side of effective study is handwritten notes, physical hand activity, and the thinking process. We think slower than we assume or type on the keyboard but align with writing speed by hand and thinking. This project will present a few concepts to improve the performance of studying data science subjects.
