Case Study Research

In 2004, statistical results of Dr. DiEdwardo’s case study research suggest that pairing music and linguistic intelligences in the college classroom improves students’ grades and abilities to compose theses statements for research papers in courses that emphasize reading and writing skills (DiEdwardo 2004).   In initial study in 2003, Maryann refined Howard Gardner’s (1993) definition of music as a “separate intellectual competence” and compared music intelligence to linguistic intelligence. Furthermore, through acknowledgement of MI Theory, educators infuse cognitive abilities of students by helping them “think” as one of her students suggested.  Her article, “Pairing Music and Linguistic Intelligences”  was published in the Record, Vol. 41, No. 3, Spring 2005.   Kappa Delta Pi, International Education Honors Society.

Dr. Maryann DiEdwardo writes about Practices to Heal

This week, I am writing about the arts as healing. Engage in writing a nature journal or taking a walk to collect photos as themes for watercolors. 

I write books about music and healing.

While you are walking, listen to favorite melodies if possible or hum these! Music changes us as does nature and change of thought pattern. 

Have a great day

Teaching English---techniques by Maryann DiEdwardo

By telescoping into a shorter version of oral history, writers succeed in the learning community. The framework short story fuses authentic assessment and multiculturalism as a focus to envision the student in a creative process to offer transformation.

     In my recent career as a writer, I have published 30 books and numerous articles. My current positions include Writing Coach at Lehigh University Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Department in the fall semester. I also work as a specialist in distance learning for University of Maryland University College; additionally, I perform design for course templatesand lecture on models, frameworks, and paradigms.

For 40 years, I have worked for Pennsylvania Colleges and Universities. 

    At Lehigh Carbon Community College in 2006, I designed the first distance learning class that the college offered in English 2 with a Classical Literature concentration. The class included short story, poetry, drama and fiction units in an eight week session. Currently, for the University of Maryland University College, I 

teach literature, research, poetry and writing through distance learning paradigm and also consult for the design of the class entitled The Modern Novel. I teach the following courses and concentrations at UMUC throughout the year: American Women's Literature both pre and post 1900; graduate and undergraduate level classes; The History of the English Language; Creative Writing.

My recent classes that I taught at Lehigh have concentrated on the works of Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison; other classes included concentrations in Jack Kerouac and the Beat Period, and British Literature with a specialty in Charles Dickens in my recent presentations for international conferences. In my graduate program at Lehigh, I heavily concentrated on Native American Literature; and in my undergraduate studies at Penn State University, I focused on Stage History and Film Studies. 

    At Lehigh University, I have lectured at  conferences for our English and Education Departments on Cultural Diversity and on Feminism. In classes, I offer presentations on Transcendentalism. I also studied American and British Poetry, and I have taught Film Theory which I have emphasized as a themed class to teach writing based on film theory with concentrations in American Film History at Lehigh University in English 1 and 2. I am prepared to teach creative non-fiction, short story, and have recently published a juvenile fiction book  and a set of short stories. My undergraduate degree is in Theatre Arts from Penn State University. AtLehigh University, I concentrated on Stage History 1980 (As You Like It) (performances by Katharine Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, Dame Edith Evans) and published a book in 2005 based on my thesis.

Session 1 - Efficacy of Qigong Practice as a Treatment for Vertigo - Maryann DiEdwardo

 Initial Abstract and Proposal

The Efficacy of QiGong Practice as a Treatment for Vertigo

 

Case Study on a Single Patient by Dr. Maryann DiEdwardo

 

  Practicing QiGong cures weakened vestibular sense, vertigo.  QiGong practice can control and cure the symptoms associated with inner ear infection and severe vertigo. Practice includes QiGong therapy, QiGong meditation, QiGong balance lessons and QiGong walking meditations as well as sequences based on QiGong five treasures. From August 29, 2011 to November 4th, 2011, I suffered from extreme vertigo and applied QiGong as a therapy. The purpose of the case study on one patient was to understand why I regained balance and full functioning of the vestibular sense by practicing QiGong three times per day over a period of one year.
