Mary Helen Immordino-Yang; Linda Darling-Hammond; Christina Krone – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2019
New advances in neurobiology are revealing that brain development and the learning it enables are directly dependent on social-emotional experience. Growing bodies of research reveal the importance of socially-triggered epigenetic contributions to brain development and brain network configuration, with implications for social-emotional…

Christian, MacKinsey A.; Samms-Vaughan, Maureen; Lee, MinJae; Bressler, Jan; Hessabi, Manouchehr; Grove, Megan L.; Shakespeare-Pellington, Sydonnie; Coore Desai, Charlene; Reece, Jody-Ann; Loveland, Katherine A.; Boerwinkle, Eric; Rahbar, Mohammad H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with poorly understood etiology. Many maternal exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding potentially interfere with neurodevelopment. Using data from two age- and sex-matched case-control studies in Jamaica (n = 298 pairs), results of conditional logistic regression…

Johnston, Jill E.; Lopez, Mark; Gribble, Matthew O.; Gutschow, Wendy; Austin, Christine; Arora, Manish – Health Education & Behavior, 2019
Advocates for civil rights, environmental justice, and movements promoting social justice require data and may lack trust in public authorities, turning instead to academic scientists to help address their questions. Assessing historical exposure to toxic chemicals, especially in situations of a specific industrial source of pollution affecting a…

Coleman, Sarah K.; Smith, Caroline L. – Higher Education Pedagogies, 2019
Virtual laboratory simulations are commercially available to train students; these creative resources are available to complete remotely without traditional time and safety restrictions of laboratory-based practical classes. We introduced a Health and Safety virtual laboratory simulation to a core large first-year science module. Having surveyed…

Cheng, Anran; Tyne, Rebecca; Kwok, Yu Ting; Rees, Louis; Craig, Lorraine; Lapinee, Chaipat; D'Arcy, Mitch; Weiss, Dominik J.; Salau¨n, Pascal – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Testing water samples for arsenic contamination has become an important water quality issue worldwide. Arsenic usually occurs in very small concentrations, and a sensitive analytical method is needed. We present here a 1-day laboratory module developed to introduce Earth Sciences and/or Chemistry student undergraduates to key aspects of this…

Healthy Schools Network, Inc., 2016
Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental contaminants. Their bodies are still developing, they eat, drink, and breathe more per pound of body weight than adults, they have lungs that are still developing, and they may be more exposed to hazards and unaware of how to protect themselves. Lead exposure can cause serious damage to children's…

Morales-Doyle, Daniel; Childress Price, Tiffany; Chappell, Mindy J. – Science Education, 2019
This article examines the tensions that arose as teachers, scientists, youth, and community organizers worked to develop a curriculum that was responsive to community concerns and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Within the context of urban heavy metal contamination and building on previous critiques of the standards, we identified…

Azodo, Adinife Patrick; Ismaila, Salami Olasunkanmi; Adejuyigbe, Samuel Babatunde – Comparative Professional Pedagogy, 2018
Occupational training is a crucial feature in enhancing workforce efficiency and the expertise involved in any profession. This is carried out through a variety of ways such as institutional training, basic instructions, excursions, industrial training, laboratory lessons, workshop operations, field studies, intensive problem-solving based…

Rebmann, Terri; Elliott, Michael B.; Artman, Deborah; VanNatta, Matthew; Wakefield, Mary – Journal of School Health, 2016
Background:A 2011 nationwide school pandemic preparedness study found schools to be deficient. We examined the impact of a school nurse educational intervention aimed at improving K-12 school biological event preparedness. Mehods: Missouri Association of School Nurses (MASN) members were e-mailed a survey link in fall 2013 (ie, preintervention),…

Bothell, Joan; Gaudio, Mary-Margaret; Gray, Sharon – Journal of Extension, 2017
The concept of a "healthful home" offers the basis for a comprehensive approach to addressing the well-established relationship between health and housing. Many environmental health hazards found in homes--such as lead, mold, environmental tobacco smoke, and pesticides--can be reduced or eliminated through the use of scientifically…

Ezquerra, Angel; Fernandez-Sanchez, Belen; Magana, Marina; Mingo, Beatriz – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2017
The necessity of an adequate scientific literacy among the population in general and students in particular is a fact. Two of the main obstacles in science education that hinder it are the lack of connection between the contents worked in class and the students' day-to-day, and the misunderstanding of scientific language. In the present study, a…

Hall, Jennifer L.; Zeman, Catherine – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2018
The Roma people are the largest stateless population in Central and Eastern (CEE) Europe and face a disproportionate amount of environmental health disparities likely due to a long history of discrimination and stigmatization. Using qualitative research methodology and community-based participatory research methods, we aimed to gain a more nuanced…

Kidman, Gillian – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2018
There is evidence indicating that students are rarely asked about what they want to learn, but when they are asked, the students readily identify topics of personal relevance with a hands-on component. They want topics that are curiosity-based and not knowledge based. This paper draws on data that gave voice to 199 students studying geography and…

Royce, Christine Anne – Science and Children, 2016
For students to know how to prepare for severe weather, they must first understand what types of weather they might experience in their location. Much of students' interactions with and learning about severe weather events will happen through printed text resources and video excerpts. Through the use of such resources, young students can begin to…
