In response to the industrial world becoming more complex and the recent social distancing caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) are gaining importance for industrial training. The novelty, however, does not lie in the sole use of VR-based technology but rather in its adaptive and flexible nature. This…

Reflection is an important component of professional practice in the field of policing. While reflection goes beyond a mere evaluation of officer behavior in police-citizen interaction based on legitimacy and functionality, deeper levels of reflections, where underlying assumptions are challenged do not automatically take place within the system…

Unpacking the idea of how students consume and use models of professional voice is important and warrants more attention in the communication classroom. The following class outline, as a result, will provide other communication instructors with an overview of how students can bring in their own examples of language use from business to reflect on…

Social work programs are facing the need to gain further clarity about how to leverage instructional strategies specific to the course modality (i.e., traditional, hybrid, online hybrid, and fully online). At its heart, this challenge is an analogical transfer problem: practice instructors must adapt what they do in one modality to new modalities…

Although many neurotypical children acquire untaught word-object relations incidentally from naturally occurring environmental experiences, many children with and without developmental disabilities require specific intervention. This study examined the effects of rotating listener (match and point) and speaker (tact and intraverbal-tact) responses…

Today, in a time marked by widespread calls for racial and social justice, and simultaneous backlash against these calls, it is imperative that we understand the ways that care circulates and operates within racialized struggle. In this dissertation I engage in this…

If global citizenship education (GCE) is to become a pedagogical approach, it must recognize the embedded moral responsibilities contained in its presumptive domains. I propose a theoretical pedagogy that acknowledges the moral dimensions of GCE wherein the process is what matters, not a pre-identification of values that should be accepted as…

Academics is not the sole component of school readiness; rather, it is a compilation of children's physical, social--emotional, language, and cognitive development (National Association for the Education of Young Children [NAEYC], 2009; National Education Goal Panels, 1997). The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC,…

This paper goes beyond -- transcends -- "pedagogy as justice," recognizing that justice, particularly in these present times, may not be enough.

A more critical approach in the classroom stimulates critical thinking, critical…
