Spring 2014
The plethora of research on ESL, L1, L2 and ethnography has left under-reported autoethnographies borrowing mathematics as a tool for thinking. In response to the multiplicity, this dissertation explores personal and academic experiences to expose my own development of an L2 learner, in...

Choosing an appropriate action representation is an integral part of solving robotic manipulation problems. Published approaches include latent action models, which train context-conditioned neural networks to map lowdimensional latent actions to high-dimensional actuation commands. Such models...

Applications of learning theory to human-bear conflict: the efficacy of aversive conditioning and conditioned taste aversion
DownloadSpring 2011
I tested the efficacy of aversive conditioning (AC) and conditioned taste aversion (CTA) on American black bears (Ursus americanus) in Whistler, British Columbia. Black bears subjected to 3-5 day AC programs responded by increasing their wariness toward humans, while control bears habituated. ...

Authoring Themselves as Mathematical Learners: Students' Experiences of Learning to Learn High School Mathematics
DownloadSpring 2014
High school mathematics students often complete homework and study for unit tests without support to consider how these actions could contribute to their mathematical learning. However, students can, through the process of learning to learn mathematics, to bring into view how they learn...

Aversive conditioning of grizzly bears produces high probabilities of retreat from human-bear conflict locations
DownloadSpring 2024
Parks and protected areas provide important refugia for source populations of threatened grizzly bears in Alberta, where high human-use and recreation can cause human-bear conflict. Many jurisdictions in Alberta and beyond use hazing and aversive conditioning (hereafter AC) programs to deter...

Aversive conditioning on horse back: A management alternative for grassland systems threatened by sedentary elk populations
DownloadFall 2009
Loss of migratory behaviour in ungulates has been observed worldwide and invites new tools for managing the habitat degradation that results from these sedentary populations. We assessed use of aversive conditioning on horseback as a means of reducing grazing pressure and restoring migratory...

The thesis consists of two papers exploring the area of digital game construction in pre-service teacher education. The first paper details the analysis of 166 pre-service teachers’ experiences constructing a digital game in the Scratch development environment (MIT, 2009). Pre-service teachers...

Spring 2015
Personality has been documented in diverse taxa and growing attention is being directed towards the ecological implications of consistent variation in individual behaviour. These implications include the rise in habituation behaviour by wildlife living in human-disturbed areas, which has resulted...
