Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between creativity, creative self-efficacy, creative problem-solving, general self-efficacy, growth mindset and academic achievement. Creative self-efficacy, and a growth mindset have been identified as critical factors in students’ academic achievement. The underlying research premise is that students who use creative-based approaches including the ability to look at various solutions, tolerate ambiguity, and apply creative problem-solving approaches, produce higher creativity self-efficacy scores and are better equipped to face and overcome current academic and future career challenges. The study took place at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), a learner-centered, primarily undergraduate Historically Black University. It primarily serves the needs of the United States Virgin Islands population. Elements of creativity–and innovation–are infused throughout UVI and stated explicitly in its strategic plans. UVI encourages creativity and students’ growth mindset to prepare students for future STEM and other academic success.

Abstract

Undergraduate Research (UGR) is any creative effort undertaken by an undergraduate that advances the knowledge of the student in an academic discipline and leads to new scholarly insights or the creation of new knowledge that adds to the wealth of the discipline. Undergraduate research is valued and encouraged at several HBCUs; however, the history, implementation, nor progress has not been sufficiently published and disseminated nationally. Importantly, a great deal of learning occurs when undergraduate students conduct research and, of course, much of this learning does not happen during the traditional coursework. Research leads to better understanding of and deeper appreciation for the discipline. Further, it is contended that students' career goals and academic expectations are enhanced as a result of research participation. Extensive undergraduate research can increase access to PhD programs. From the voices of faculty mentors, student mentees and UGR program directors and program coordinators this volume describes the successes of programs across HBCUs and discusses how retention and graduation rates have been increased as a result of participation.

Abstract

Narratives of journeys, voyages, and pilgrimages often guide readers to questions about humanism and humanity from a holistic perspective. The chapters in this volume explore narratives of both real and imagined journeys and examine their religious, psychological, psychoanalytical, philosophical, educational, and historical implications. What emerges is an understanding of narratives of journeys across cultural borders as powerful educational tools that can model and contribute to meaningful dialogue with other states, cultures, and civilizations.
