To attend to educators' experiences as they work in the midst of competing demands, increased classroom complexity, and a growing understanding of the importance of well-being, a group of stakeholders from across Saskatchewan co-developed a microcertificate entitled Trauma-Informed/Sensitive Pedagogies and Practices. The microcertificate was…

School climate and teacher-student interactions are important factors leading to differences in student development. However, the mechanisms through which these two factors influence university students' academic achievement remain unclear, and there is a notable lack of in-depth research from the perspective of group differences. The study…

A college education is vital because it exposes students to worldwide experiences fundamental for productive citizenship. However, it is elusive to most disabled citizens because of the clash of school time and disability and colleges' obsession with efficiency. Guided by the historical, biological, and social construction of disability as a human…

The concept of "collective contributions to career efficacy" (CCCE) has been long proposed to conceptualize the effects of influences from various significant others on individuals' career efficacy and development. However, the longitudinal and dynamic implications of CCCE for individuals' career development, especially the relative…

For decades, student ratings of university faculty have been used by administrators in high stakes faculty employment decisions such as tenure, promotion, contract renewal and reappointment, and merit pay. However, virtually no attention has been paid to the ethical questions of using ratings in employment decisions. Instead, the ratings…

Promoting student engagement by changing the environment can effectively refresh minds, stimulate creativity, and increase focus. A learning-centred approach works best when teaching creative arts, but space and creativity are imperative to move around. Creative arts are a social subject, and much group work occurs inside and outside the…

This study investigates how autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs impact student engagement during work placement learning tasks (student engagement henceforth), mediated by intrinsic motivation-to-know, and moderated by perceived instructor autonomy support. Conducted with 311 undergraduate students across 116 Nigerian firms/organizations,…

Academic stress is a worldwide issue that impacts adolescent students and their educators. While educators may assist students in managing academic stress, they must first recognize students' feelings of academic stress. Consequently, both recognizing and addressing academic stress were considered in this study. The theoretical framework consisted…

Recent studies have identified a growing need for educators to be trauma-informed. However, there is limited understanding of teacher trauma literacy or their professional learning and teaching experience. This study reports a new measure of teacher trauma literacy and is the first known study to assess the trauma and mental health literacy…

The perception of social support during adolescence is a primary interpersonal resource that is critical for effective stress management. Moreover, it has been associated with psychological well-being during this sensitive developmental period. Secure attachment, indicative of positive internal working models, has been found to be associated with…

This paper presents findings from our project entitled 'Diversity in Unity: Developing an anti-racist framework within Froebelian pedagogy'. We apply an ethnography by proxy approach informed by the work of Jones and Okun on colonial and decolonial habits. Drawing from two nursery settings in England and Scotland, we engage with the methodological…

In this study utilizing PISA (2022) data, we employ Ecological Theory to explore the complex relationships between proximal and distal effects on the home learning environment, which has undergone changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Four different profiles based on Ecological Theory were created as a result of the latent profile analysis. This…

There is emerging evidence that Christian undergraduates can be stigmatized in undergraduate biology classrooms. This stigma seems to stem from the secular culture of biology and may be affected by instructor identity as most biology instructors are non-religious, but no studies have examined the impact of instructors revealing that they are…

Student evaluations of teaching (SET) have repeatedly been shown to be biased against women instructors. Although few have been able to mitigate these biases, one team reported success in two courses by adding a short AntiBias statement to the beginning of SETs. We conducted a conceptual replication of that study to investigate the effectiveness…

Sport management researchers in the United States continue to study the social divisions shaping the field. This includes issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in sport management education, as undergraduate programs remain predominantly White and male in terms of students and faculty. This lack of diversity underscores the importance…
