This research investigates the influence of culture on sketching by comparing UK and Chinese designers. We employed a novel dual-method approach: machine learning algorithms analyzed a dataset of 2,090 digitized sketches from student designers, while protocol analysis based on shape transformation rules examined the sketching processes of…

A growing body of calling literature demonstrates evidence of cross-cultural validity of scales to measure perceiving and living a calling, pointing to salience of the construct and useful application of calling interventions across populations. However, there has been little inquiry into the relationship of calling to similar concepts in cultures…

Values serve as guiding principles, motivating specific behaviors, and actions. Peers spend a considerable amount of time together, thus offering a unique platform for the acquisition and development of values. During adolescence, a stage of life when youth are actively defining their identities, peers emerge as vital social agents, contributing…

This study compared the characteristics of 'good mothers' of children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) as perceived by mothers of children with ASD in two countries--the U.S. and Japan. Grounded in the theory of culturally-influenced construal of the self, we hypothesized that U.S. mothers would prioritize fostering self-reliance and advocating…

For more than a decade, the international and national literature has established that sexuality education does not adequately speak to the broad range of cultural and religious diversities present in classrooms. These persistent obfuscations speak to long-standing questions around normativity, Othering and 'inclusion'. In this paper, we turn to a…

There is a growing number of studies on research ethics in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education at universities while a comprehensive list of variables that may develop or nurture research ethics is lacking. The present study undertook a scoping review of studies on research ethics in STEM education at universities to…

Through this paper, we aim to explore the ethical considerations related to machine translation, with a focus on eliminating bias and enhancing cultural sensitivity. By considering the experiences of individual participants, we aim to strengthen the ability of algorithms to adapt to diverse cultural environments, thereby contributing to the…

In Spain intercultural mediation developed within the framework of interculturality fostered by the European Union and stimulated by the arrival of foreign-origin populations. This has meant rethinking the policies and actions implemented to incorporate this new population. The schools, which reflect the social reality, have gradually responded to…

This book presents a searing critique of the global take on education, questioning why the idea that education should be international has come to dominate the field and positing that the discourse of internationalisation has altered the way we conceptualise education. Using diverse examples from the Middle East, the UK and South-East Asia, the…

Learning to live in a superdiverse world might be heralded as one of the great social challenges of our time. In the last decade, intercultural education has been posed as one way to foster intercultural capabilities in young people that can contribute towards learning to live well with cultural difference. As the diaspora in Australia--and…

In this column, we demonstrate ways to connect four commonly taught poetic genres to better explore the intersectionalities ("The University of Chicago Legal Forum";140:139-167, 1989; "Black feminist thought: Knowledge, consciousness, and the politics of empowerment," 1990) in the texts and students' own lives through two…

The present article explores the epistemological conditions of intercultural encounters. Based on an analysis of Raimon Panikkar's intercultural hermeneutics, we argue that intercultural encounters cannot take place adequately when they are based on purely rhetorical rationality or rational persuasion. We point to the limitations of grounding…

The Forms of Bullying Scale was introduced in 2013 and was normed with a large group of Australian students aged 12 to 15 (Shaw et al., 2013). To date, no researchers have attempted to validate FBS on adolescents in the United States. The purpose of this paper is to provide validation for the Forms of Bullying Scale -- Perpetration (FBS-P; Shaw et…

Westernization as a historical process of universalizing western cultural and societal norms has, in terms of global education, evolved into a narrative of competition, resource-hoarding, erasure, and general accumulation of capital by the few. Universities and colleges are hubs for the production and reproduction of ideologies and ways of knowing…

Suicide remains a leading cause of death among adolescents and exists in detectable rates for younger children as well. Underserved ethnic and racial groups face barriers to effective mental health care, making it critical that school psychologists be prepared to incorporate cultural considerations for suicide prevention and intervention. School…
