This article describes a collaborative inquiry creating spaces for networking and learning for professional immigrant women. There were two implementation stages: (1) a pilot study to identify a meaningful research focus, and (2) the creation of a "Comadres Profesionales Summit," a collaboration between community members and university…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the presence of systems thinking after an educational proposal on climate sustainability based on reflection and video creation. To evaluate this competency, an evaluation rubric was constructed. Design/methodology/approach: This research is a case study with a mixed approach. It was carried out…

Psychosocial coaching competencies, including psychological, pedagogical, philosophical, and sociocultural aspects, which underpin an athlete-centred coaching approach, have been largely overlooked by the United Kingdom Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) coach education. It is possible to understand why psychosocial competencies have…

The aim of this study was to test the notion of ecological citizenship empirically in the English language classroom in an underrepresented region, Latin America. A pedagogic project aimed at the development of students as ecological citizens was designed and implemented in 2019 in four English language classrooms in a public secondary school in…

Despite the prevailing perception that sexuality should be openly discussed, sexuality-related social exclusion persists, posing challenges for individuals. This mixed-methods study explores the perception of sexuality-related social exclusion experiences in young adults, identifying strategies within sexuality education to mitigate these…

Collaboration is essential for all English for Specific Purposes practitioners, whether they are a part of a Faculty or a Language Centre. Conducting needs analyses to determine students' specific English requirements necessitates interaction with subject specialists within their institution.
