Use caution with links and attachments.
Dear, Dr. Tamarine Foreman
My name is Dinisha Paul, and I am a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Toledo. As part of my dissertation, I am seeking participants for my research entitled, The Validation of The Principles of Adult Learning Scale Using Rasch Analysis. This study has been approved by the University of Toledo’s Institutional Review Board and is under the supervision of my dissertation chair and primary investigator, Dr. John Laux (john.laux at utoledo.edu<mailto:john.laux at utoledo.edu>).
The purpose of the study is to improve the validity and reliability of the Principles of Adult Learning Scale (PALS) using Rasch Analysis. The study also aims to understand if items in PALS are biased based on demographic group differences. Recommendations for modifications to the instrument will be made to promote culturally responsive assessment in teaching.
This invitation to participate is extended to all
Counselor educators,
Counselor education doctoral students,
Adjunct instructors, part-time instructors, or
Other instructors
who completed or are currently enrolled in a CACREP accredited CE&S program.

Any level of teaching experience in CE&S program is welcomed. To qualify for this study, the participant must have taught at least one course in a CACREP accredited CE&S program.

Your assistance in helping me reach a diverse group of participants is greatly appreciated.
 This is the first of three emails to solicit your participation. We will reach back out to you again in two weeks and then again two weeks thereafter.
If you agree to participate in the study, you will be asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and the PALS questionnaire that assesses teaching styles of educators on a degree of learner centeredness to teacher centeredness. In total, this research study will take about 20 to 25 minutes to complete. You will not be asked to provide any identifying information. You may discontinue participation at any point without any penalty or loss of benefits.
If you have any questions about the study, you may contact Dinisha Paul by email at dinisha.paul at rockets.utoledo.edu<mailto:dinisha.paul at rockets.utoledo.edu> or Dr. John Laux at john.laux at utoledo.edu<mailto:john.laux at utoledo.edu>.
