Plant blindness, the inability of people to notice plants, is of current interest in the natural sciences community. It has been hypothesized that communities of varying cultures may have improved plant sight. Researchers used an online survey to assess citizens ability to identify plants. The survey also intended to address the concern of elders…

Hitherto, student responses to ethically oriented pedagogies in Literature classrooms have rarely been studied in non-western, multicultural contexts, and often assume monolingual text selections in English. As an Outer Circle English-using society, Singapore presents a multicultural Asian context worth studying where students connect aesthetic…

The notion of science identity has been widely discussed in the field of science education in recent years. Many research studies have focused on students' science identity in a general sense in spite of the fact that students are usually exposed to discipline-specific science courses in high school. We argue that it is more appropriate to explore…

Social justice-centered training has progressed in school psychology, yet training and practice still do not adequately address systems-level influences on mental health, let alone focus on dismantling the systemic inequities that adversely affect the wellbeing of marginalized children and youth. An equity- and intersectional justice-minded…

This article addresses antiracist arts education by examining key aspects of the critical response protocol (CRP) to disrupt notions of neutrality when responding to works of art. Building on a large urban district's professional development work to support arts educators' awareness of their racial identity, we examine how the CRP perpetuates…

Ratings of perceptual experience on a trial-by-trial basis are increasingly used in masked priming studies to assess prime awareness. It is argued that such subjective ratings more adequately capture the content of phenomenal consciousness compared to the standard objective psychophysical measures obtained in a session after the priming…

This study investigated sixth-grade students' development of multidisciplinary models involving the integration of mathematics, science, and statistics, together with shared STEM practices. Mathematics and science featured a reciprocal relationship within the real-world context of tsunami inundation. Experimenting with water tubs comprising…

This study aimed to identify the reality of diagnosing learning disabilities among students with hearing impairments from the point of view of their teachers. The descriptive survey method was used. The study sample included (152) male and female teachers from deaf schools in Saudi Arabia. The results of the study showed that the level of reality…

An identification key is one of the tools used to determine the identity of a plant specimen. This research aims to design an identification key for "M. crenata" and analyze its potential as an identification tool. The research uses an observational descriptive method. The identification keys were designed for populations growing in…

With the number of Hispanic students increasing in public schools across the United States, especially in Florida, instructional leaders should recognize Hispanic students being identified for special education programs. The problem was that Hispanic students may be misclassified, inappropriately identified, or disproportionately represented in…

Underrepresentation of some student groups in gifted and talented education continues to be a problem and priority of research and development in gifted education. Assessment for identification and placement in gifted education should utilize multiple sources of data from measurement tools that are reliable, valid, and fair. While reliability and…

America's higher education system was not created with consideration to supporting Black students. Now, centuries later, the majority of Black students choose to attend predominantly White institutions (PWIs) and enroll at comparable rates to their White peers. However, Black students do not graduate at the same rate as White students, with only…

The purpose of this paper is to share insights gained from the discovery, design, and delivery phases of creating a three-tiered model of non-academic learning support in open, distance, and flexible learning (ODFL): "Learner Engagement and Success Services (LESS)", at Open Polytechnic | Te Pukenga, New Zealand. Presented as a case…

Over four semesters of a large introductory statistics course the authors found students were engaging in contract cheating on Chegg.com during multiple choice examinations. In this paper we describe our methodology for identifying, addressing and eventually eliminating cheating. We successfully identified 23 out of 25 students using a combination…

Children with autism spectrum disorder have unique needs during medical procedures involving anesthesia. However, with early patient identification, provider champions can adapt their practice to better serve this population, thereby improving patient satisfaction and outcomes. This article describes a novel protocol developed by an anesthesia…
