"Antiracist pedagogy" is a major element of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ideology that has found a comfortable home in the American university. But antiracist pedagogy is much more than an abstract self-evident term designed to elicit unqualified support. It has a particular meaning, content, and method, and its details are…

In this article, the author champions the benefits for everyone of a more inclusive approach to primary science. She relates some of her experiences based on 35 years of teaching science to people with special educational needs and disabilities/additional support needs (SEND/ASN) and offers some tips to enhance inclusion.

Introduction: As higher education continues to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), cognitive/behavioral neuroscience and other physiologically based psychology courses may face challenges incorporating DEI issues into the curriculum relative to other subfields of psychology. Statement of the Problem: Instructors of these courses may…

I posit that while U.S. public school teachers who use assimilation pedagogy apparently believe they open educational opportunities for immigrant children, they instead cause immigrant children to lose their identities by alienating them from their cultures, families, and themselves. To demonstrate my claim, I analyze an educational autobiography…

In this conceptual practice-based article, we establish the need to examine inclusive-oriented pedagogical strategies to support individuals with autism. We believe that educators who use critical reflection can detect many of the common misconceptions about autism, learn how to re-frame these understandings, and consider alternative ways to…

This study explored how instructional guide documents and high school engineering teachers understand the concept of mindset and the instructional practice of feedback as students engage in classroom problem-solving activities.

To better understand the situation within primary education in the country, a survey of specialist teachers from mainstream and…

Background: Knowledge of quantum computing is arguably inaccessible to many, with knowledge of the complex mathematics involving a particular barrier to entry, creating difficulty in terms of teaching and inclusive learning for those without a high level of mathematics. Meanwhile, it is increasingly important that the knowledge of quantum…

Reflective students who are pro-active in thought processing in the classroom often do not receive the same level of positive appraisal from teachers.

Colleges and universities cannot ignore the increasingly diverse student population in their classrooms, and how a focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion across disciplines trains students in the intercultural awareness they will need in competitive job markets. Yet while faculty may be aware of a need to understand EDI goals in relationship to…

There is a complementarity between Uganda's aim for 'education for all' and the pedagogy indicated as underpinning Uganda's child-focused thematic curriculum. However, child-focused pedagogies are rare. The case is made that child-led research is an appropriate model for developing inclusive classroom practice. This research is the first to…

In this essay, I reflect on my lived experiences as a girl child growing up in my home country of Botswana, and also as a mother in a foreign country, Canada.

Stereotypical notions and depictions of the German language, its speakers, and cultural practices are more persistent in instructional materials, language program advertisements, and people's minds than one might presume (Bryant et al., 2019; Chavez, 2020a, 2020b; Rothe, 2022). Overcoming such misconceptions requires educators to reconsider…

Decolonisation is rapidly becoming a familiar term in higher education institutions.
