Rachael C. Edwards; Brendon M. H. Larson; Susan Clayton – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Awareness of environmental problems such as climate change can motivate action, but educators debate whether to raise students' awareness given that it may provoke eco-anxiety.

Using a self-study methodology involving written reflections and analysis of recorded conversations, this article explores how two mid-career developers define and learn from feelings of failure in the context of group facilitation. Through…

The UK government identified 'improving support within the criminal justice systems' as a priority for autistic people. There is a lack of quantitative research to enable policymakers to make evidence-based decisions on how to improve access to justice for autistic people. This study used a case-comparison design to compare the experiences of 145…

This paper examines how teacher wellbeing is conceptualised through research to identify the influential ecological influences that…

Kang, Melissa; Bedard, Anne-Claude; Martinussen, Rhonda – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2021
Although students with stronger executive functions (EFs) tend to do better on math computation (MC) assessments than students with weaker EFs, stressful testing situations may lower or affect their mathematical ability. Rumination is one maladaptive coping strategy that can negatively affect EF processes, but little is known about how it impacts…

Treating family violence and addictions is more than an individual reality for many of today's Aboriginals. It is a…
