Objectives: Amidst the challenges due to the increase in autism cases, autism awareness in Indonesia remains limited, hindering effective identification, intervention, and inclusion. Contributing factors include a lack of professional training, inadequate assessment and evaluation practices, high service costs, persistent stigma, and insufficient…

This book, written by educators with a wealth of expertise across all age phases, provides an accessible, informative and thought-provoking exploration of how practitioners might place the human-centred values of social pedagogy at the heart of their own education and care practice to enrich and transform the learning experience. A clear overview…

The errors young children make when recognising others' emotions may be systematic over-identification biases and may partially explain the challenges some have socially. These biases and associations may be differential by emotion. In a sample of 871 ethnically and racially diverse preschool-aged children (i.e. 33-68 months; 49% Hispanic/Latine,…

In the context of the growing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) tools for academic writing, this article explores how undergraduate students at a South African writing centre perceive and use feedback from both human tutors and AI-based tools. Drawing on Feedback Literacy and Critical Digital Pedagogy, the study investigates the strengths…

Oral presentations are a common genre in technical and business communication courses. While it is important for students to develop a professional ethos when presenting information, in this article I argue that textbooks' discussion of professional dress and voice privilege cisgendered bodies and erase the differences and bodily experiences that…

School leaders committed to bringing racial equity must ask why educators in schools who advocate fiercely for equity often feel isolated or face repercussions, while educators who are reluctant to make change for equity are rarely challenged. Gorski, who has decades of experience working for school-based equity, says most racial-equity efforts in…

There is little data on the perception of LGBTQ constituencies toward feminism. This research team conducted focus groups on campus and within the surrounding community on perspectives of LGBTQ students, university-employed gay men, community-based transgender individuals, and community-based gay men toward feminism. The team analyzed findings…

This study explores how gender and race intersect to shape graduate students' experiences in academic workspaces using in-depth interviews with 67 biology PhD students. Building on recent intersectional research, our study highlights ways that race and gender create inequality in graduate education. Extending previous research on faculty, we…

Background: A better understanding of departmental climate and its relationship to engineering identity is needed to diversify engineering and improve marginalized students' experiences. Purpose/Hypothesis: We investigated whether undergraduate engineering students from 16 social identity groups perceived departmental climate differently from one…

We propose genetic social psychology as a theoretical framework to render intelligible both the suppression of the expression of prejudice and prejudice reduction in childhood. In particular, we explore the role of positive in-group norms in prejudice reduction in childhood and adolescence and their interplay with realistic and symbolic threats…

Scientific misinformation and disinformation, proliferating via the internet and social media, are now significant problems. Proposed solutions vary substantially. Here, I describe a set of prospective benchmarks--10 competencies--that seem essential for reorienting science education to address the challenge. They include, first, elements of…

Background: Women and people of color continue to be underrepresented in many STEM fields and careers. Many studies have linked societal biases against the mathematical abilities of women and people of color to this underrepresentation, as well as to earlier measures of mathematical confidence and performance. Recent studies have shown that…

Accurate teacher judgements can enhance pupils' learning about science and technology. This study explored primary school teachers' judgements about their pupils' ability to reconstruct an electrical and a mechanical system. The judgement accuracy of most teachers was poor, gender-biased, and underestimation was more common than overestimation.…

The aim of the present research was to develop and test the efficacy of a novel online contingent attention training (i.e., OCAT) to modify attention and interpretation biases, improve emotion regulation, and reduce emotional symptom levels in the face of major stressors. Two proof-of-principle studies were carried out. In study 1, 64…

Prior research has studied preferences for identity- or person-first language among persons with an autism diagnosis. The current study differs from this previous body of research by specifically examining quantitative predictors of language preferences through a social identity theoretical approach, thereby leading to a better understanding of…
