Political violence, civil unrest, economic crises, and natural disasters have occurred at a constant pace, leading to an ongoing global crisis of refugees and other forced immigrants and migrants, i.e. (im)migrants. The infrastructures, capacities, and policies necessary to address the needs of refugee youth, their families, and their communities…

'Listen to the scientists.' It is a refrain that Greta Thunberg has used on a number of occasions to impress upon us that we are running out of time if we want to halt the slide towards catastrophe. Now is the time to discuss the findings of science, and science education is the natural place to do so. And yet, there is no obvious, designated…

Advocating for social justice is one of the National Association of School Psychologists' (NASP's) five strategic goals, and school psychologists have an ethical and professional responsibility to ensure that all children and youth receive what they need for their educational success. In part 1 of this series the authors proposed that climate…

This article analyses the role of plants in three well publicised Nordic climate fictions for young adults: "Memories of Water" by Emmi Itäranta, originally published in 2012, "The World According to Anna" (2013) by Jostein Gaarder, and "Bouvetøya 2052" (2015) by Lars Maehle. Departing from the wider scholarly field…

My journey in the field of stress and coping began in the mid 1980s when I was researching the rather new field of childhood depression. It was a relatively under-explored field, and as a clinical and educational psychologist it was becoming increasingly apparent that there were concerns of young people, with some of these reflected in their…

In early January 2018, after days of subfreezing temperatures, a 20 m waterfall became mostly frozen with supercooled water pouring over the top of the frozen parts of the fall. A video was taken of the waterfalls and supercooled turbulent water flowing on the frozen surface as it turned into frazil ice right before our eyes. Frazil ice consists…

Informal learning leading to collective action around climate change continues to be controversial and piecemeal. Given the positionality of museums as public-facing institutions that address topics of social, scientific, and historical significance, we argue that the museum should be a key convener of discussions around climate change. Utilizing…

Our aim in this paper is to describe an opportunity for physics students and faculty to learn about an environmental issue of much current interest: the quantification, or footprint analysis, of carbon dioxide (CO[subscript 2]) and reactive nitrogen emissions. These can originate from human activities such as energy use, food consumption, and…

Presidential elections can be forecast using information from political and economic conditions, polls, and a statistical model of changes in public opinion over time. However, these "knowns" about how to make a good presidential election forecast come with many unknowns due to the challenges of evaluating forecast calibration and…

This present research proposed a whole-school approach collaboration model to assess its effects on the job satisfaction of teacher educators in the United States and China. It aims to identify differences in how collaboration influences job satisfaction among American and Chinese teachers, drawing data from the 2018 Teaching and Learning…

This book comprises a series of engaging and provocative essays directed towards an optimistic consideration of hope, informed by practices that can be nurtured in school education and other sites of learning and are associated with courage and wisdom. Written from a range of perspectives and experiences each essay brings to the reader a positive…

The changing landscape of geoscience learning has initiated growing interest in engaging science learners with climate data. One approach to teaching climate is the application of broadly accessible digital science curricula, which often include data tools such as visualizations, data representations, and simulations embedded within digital…

Considering the key role of organizational commitment in teachers' professional performance, many researchers have studied the predictors of this variable in different educational institutions. However, a short glance at the pertinent literature displays that most of the previous studies on this variable have been conducted in general education…

In this article, we analyse the ways school headteachers/principals (HT/Ps) at different stages of adult ego development (AED) make sense of and respond to the organisational complexity of their schools. The AED stage of 20 HT/Ps in England was assessed using the Washington University Sentence Completion Test. HT/Ps in the self-aware,…

This study aims to determine the misconceptions of teacher candidates about the greenhouse effect concept by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm instead of human experts. The Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD) process model was preferred in the study where the Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate (ADDIE) instructional design…
