Sustainable development and transformational change have become more critical than ever in the era of climate change. The aim of this literature review was to increase knowledge on education and learning activities (ELAs), along with the learning outcomes they address, in the context of higher education for sustainable development (SD) with…

This paper examines the cloud computing for education (CCE) literature, and analyzes if the research is developing scientifically with adequate empirical validation. All aspects of empirical investigations covered in the literature are shown as weak, hence, the necessary scientific development of CCE requires extending its scope of interest, and…

Engineering design activities offer the promise of enhanced learning and teaching in pre-college science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) settings. The wide variation and lack of coherence in research and practice concerning pre-college engineering design challenges necessitates an investigation of the literature. The overarching…

In numerous UN policy documents, a sustainable future through education is set in a key position; the UNESCO Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development (UNESCO, 2018) is no exception. Therefore, it is of great importance to examine and report how different UN member countries work towards the implementation of sustainability…

Effective interteam work for health care teams must consider the following: each team's distinct model of reality, teams' culture, boundary-crossing functions that link teams with others, systems perspective, and expectations of equitable resource allocation and work burdens. (SK)

Claims that curriculum planning and effective advising will help students develop intellectual connections across their individual courses and thus enhance their college experience.

Presents an interdisciplinary discussion of the multiple dimensions of racism and formulates conceptions of its impact on the formation of healthy personalities. Describes how racism has both ideological and structural components and perpetuates itself recursively at the macro- and microlevels. (Author/GCP)

This paper presents a model and conceptual framework for textbook research. The model will help scholars from a variety of disciplines approach textbook research from a common theoretical grounding and later compare and synthesize their findings using agreed-upon categories and a shared vocabulary. The author first describes two rudimentary models…

A response is given to the reactants of the authors' monograph "Racism, Mental Health, and Mental Health Practice" (1999). The construct of categorization and the dialectical nature of racism are discussed. Addresses the question of whether there is such a thing as a positive White identity. (GCP)

Presents a reaction to Thompson and Neville's (1999) article, "Racism, Mental Health, and Mental Health Practice." Discusses the results of their own longitudinal study of the psychology of White racism to both promote and validate many of the theoretical claims that are presented in Thompson and Neville's article.

Rapprochement among competing methods and views of marital and family therapy constitutes a major creative challenge for the field in the 1980s. Although integrative efforts have begun, psychodynamic understanding of intimate relationships is necessary for continuation of integrative process growth. (Author/NRB)

After reviewing recent contributions to the field of motor development, suggests a pattern formation or dynamics approach to child development as an alternative to the conventional approaches emphasizing maturation (nativist), specific learning experiences (empiricist), cognitive stages (Piagetian), and strategies of encoding and retrieval…

Advances a theoretical perspective for analyzing education and instructional technology as disciplines using the science of semiotics as a framework for identifying the components, relationships among components, and meanings of components in educational systems. A 30-item reference list accompanies the text. (Author/JL)

An analysis of the massive amount of literature pertaining to the improvement of professional instruction in dental education resulted in the formation of a comprehensive model of 10 categories, including Delphi technique; systems approach; agencies; workshops; multi-media, self-instruction; evaluation paradigms, measurement, courses, and…
