Summer Reading at Juniata

Summer Reading Highlights

Research Questions Understanding the program: Who reads the book? What can we say about the readers? SoTL question: What is the impact?

2013 Who Read it? What Variables Matter? 10% Read it all (or claimed to) 62% read at least a little Women (M=26%) read as much as men (M=30%) U.S. citizens (M=29%) read more than those who weren’t (M=6%)

If someone else in the family read it, students read more (M=25%) than if no other family member read it (M=50%) Those who participated in a mandatory summer reading program read more (M=32%) than those who didn’t (M=23%) No relationship between amount read and number of military friends or family (r=.002) Positive relationship between amount read and number of questions answered correctly (r=.292) Positive relationship between amount read and books read over the summer (r=.119) No relationship between number of books read last summer and number of questions answered correctly (r=.011)

SoTL question: What is the impact? Did the book make them think? Did the book challenge their ideas about war? Did they attend book-related events for fun? Did they talk with friends about book- related events? Did they change the courses they were registered for because of the book or book- related events?

What is the impact? (A provisional SoTL answer) Did the book made them think?  not really Did the book challenge their ideas about war?  not so much Did they attend book-related events for fun?  maybe a little Did they talk with friends about the book-related events?  maybe a little Did they change the courses they were registered for because of the book or book-related events?  a few actually did

Why qualitative research? Quantitative question: How many students self report that the book changed their ideas about war? Qualitative question: For the students who self reported that the book changed their ideas about war—  How did those ideas change?  What specifically did students read in the text that changed those ideas?  How did the ideas change as the students were engaging with the book through writing?

Qualitative Method How did we choose students? Method: minute interviews with students Text-based interviews

Questions for Discussion What do you hope is the impact of summer reading for the campus community? How could we measure that impact?
