Since student teachers' emotions during field experiences are highly relevant to their overall learning and professional development, they are worthy of closer investigation. Thus, based on longitudinal data and co-occurrence network analyses, this study determines whether and how often positive and negative emotions co-occur among a sample of…

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted educational systems worldwide, compelling educators to rapidly adapt to unprecedented challenges. This dissertation presents the findings of a phenomenological study that delves into the perceptions and experiences of teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this study, we randomly assigned struggling readers in special needs education (n = 23; 8-12 years of age) to a dog-assisted reading intervention or a similar intervention without a dog present. Students participated in 30-minute reading sessions twice a week for a total of six weeks. Using two standardised tests we measured reading skills…

This study applies the hermeneutical phenomenological approach, guided by Critical Race Theory, to explicate a nuanced understanding of the way Chinese international students' racial identity shapes the challenges that they faced during the pandemic and their experience of academic institutions' support during this time. The current study…

The brain processes underlying impairing effects of emotional arousal on associative memory were previously attributed to two dissociable routes using high-resolution fMRI of the MTL (Madan et al. 2017). Extrahippocampal MTL regions supporting associative encoding of neutral pairs suggested unitization; conversely, associative encoding of negative…
