The purpose of this work is to describe case rates of COVID-19 in schools practicing different learning modalities on rates of COVID-19 to support…

Using Physical Simulations to Motivate the Use of Differential Equations in Models of Disease Spread
Elizabeth G. Arnold; Elizabeth A. Burroughs; Owen Burroughs; Mary Alice Carlson – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The SIR model is a differential equations based model of the spread of an infectious disease that compartmentalises individuals in a population into one of three states: those who are susceptible to a disease (S), those who are infected and can transmit the disease to others (I), and those who have recovered from the disease and are now immune…

Lee, Yongseong; Jeong, Su Keun – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
During the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks have been widely used in daily life. Previous studies have suggested that faces wearing typical masks that occlude the lower half of the face are perceived as more attractive than face without masks. However, relatively little work has been done on how transparent masks that reveal the lower half of the…

Andal, Aireen Grace – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2023
This article examines spatiality in selected children's books about COVID-19. Spatiality is an important lens because the coronavirus pandemic is a crisis related to distancing and mobility restrictions--spatial matters. Benedict Anderson's notion of imagined communities was adopted as a framework to how children's books present community…

Barcelos, Chris A. – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
Fisting is a sexual practice that is almost always left out of sex and sexuality education. It elicits strong reactions, both from practitioners who describe it as a highly pleasurable, safe, and even spiritual activity, and from critics and clinicians who condemn it as dangerous. Fisting has attracted little scholarly attention but has ignited…

This paper focuses on the ethical position of the mask within the contemporary moment of COVID-19 and against the Levinasian concept of face. Drawing from autoethnographic, theoretical, and political discourses, this paper attempts to create an historical and social exploration of Mike Pence's public eschewing of his mask in early 2020 as a means…

Marshall, Julia; Lee, Young-eun; Deutchman, Paul; Wang, Zechao; Horsey, Charles Duren; Warneken, Felix; McAuliffe, Katherine – Developmental Psychology, 2023
A key aspect of children's moral and social understanding involves recognizing the value of helpful behaviors. COVID-19 has complicated this process; behaviors generally considered praiseworthy were considered problematic during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study examined whether 6- to 12-year-olds (N = 228; residing in the United States)…
