The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has highlighted the risk of non-users among college students using illegal prescription stimulants due to misinformation and incorrect assumptions. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perspectives of college students who do not use stimulants on perceived risks, social…

The purpose of this study was to decentralize the deficit-based approach in academia of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students in higher education by centralizing the voices of BIPOC students in their third or final years of higher education. The study used the CCW framework to understand further and expand the knowledge of the…

Virtual international exchange programming increased in prominence on U.S. college campuses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given their potential as high-impact educational practices, these programs hold great potential to improve student learning in areas like global perspective-taking and self-efficacy. However, this evaluation found that…

We present an approach to the question of the educational relations between chemistry and physics based on the one hand, on an inferentialist account of scientific representation (Suárez M., (2024), "Inference and Representation. A Study in Modelling Science," Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press). On the other, we have…

In the face of accelerating climate change, effective education is paramount to fostering informed citizens and enacting meaningful action. Effective climate instruction contextualizes content so that students are engaged emotionally (affect) and can translate science into action. This paper describes six courses that use integrated approaches to…

This article examines how teachers can navigate "difficult knowledge" embedded within digital stories, particularly those sourced from openly licensed literacy platforms. These platforms offer a rich tapestry of narratives reflecting diverse cultural contexts and experiences, but may also present challenging themes that require sensitive…

The characteristics of global competence among South Korean college students at a single large national university using performance-based assessments to evaluate key dimensions: global perspective and intercultural sensitivity. The study identified five distinct student profiles, illustrating a spectrum from limited to advanced levels. The…

This study aimed to examine the relationship between school administrators' perception management strategies and the level of social capital within schools, based on teachers' perceptions in Türkiye. Employing a descriptive correlational survey design, the data were collected from 450 teachers working across various districts. The findings…

In this article, we describe the theoretical and pragmatic considerations behind our development of a set of nine protocols and training materials for engaging prospective secondary mathematics teachers in live, interactive clinical simulations. Our designs are grounded in theoretical principles from situated cognition and variation theory and…

The challenges of modern societies and health issues call for complex understandings in psychological practice. These include existential aspects of life related to health and wellbeing. A specific focus is needed when educating future psychologists on being aware of cultural differences as well as addressing clients' existential conditions or…

This study investigates how students recalibrate their interactions with a focus on the dynamics of interpersonal perspective-taking (PT) behaviour within literature classrooms. The authors explore previously understudied structural aspects of PT dynamics across two dialogic classrooms. Employing sociocultural discourse analysis, they identify…

Perspective-taking, which is important for communication and social activities, can be cultivated through joint actions, including musical activities in children. We examined how rhythmic activities requiring coordination affect perspective-taking in a referential communication task with 100 Chinese 4- to 6-year-old children. In Study 1, 5- to…

In this article, we 'think with' the theoretical concepts of flow, rupture, layering, and sampling to affectively attune to 'in-the-red frequencies' flowing across/with-in a New York City primary classroom--that is, alternative sonic frequencies that trouble and refuse hegemonic literacy practices. These hip-hop concepts theorise affect in…

Building on research showing social-emotional benefits from a single live theater performance, this study tests for significant differences in pre to post social-cognitive outcomes among a racially and economically diverse sample of young audiences who attended the same theater performance with or without additional pre- and post-show educational…

Previous research has found mixed results for a link between executive function and perspective-taking. One proposed reason for this is that perspective-taking during comprehension tasks may not be internally reliable. This dissertation presents two large individual differences experiments with multiple perspective-taking during comprehension and…
