Connecting Through Controversy: Disagreement As Respect, Paul Chen
Connecting Through Controversy: Disagreement As Respect, Paul Chen
Journal of Educational Controversy
Educators praise the benefits and virtues of teaching students how to discuss controversial topics with their peers with civility and respect. But in addition to developing these deliberative skills and intellectual dispositions, I suggest that a further goal of using controversial discussions as a pedagogy (CDAP) is to help students cultivate a respectful form of disagreement with others, openness to hearing opposing viewpoints, greater self-awareness of their own biases, and ultimately recognizing mutual integrity in everyone, including in those with whom they disagree.
In this paper, I first discuss why and then describe how I use CDAP in my classes …
Creating Connection With Online Learners, Wendy M. Helmcamp, Tara Fox
Creating Connection With Online Learners, Wendy M. Helmcamp, Tara Fox
Journal of Technology in Counselor Education and Supervision
Many counselor education programs are now offered online due to convenience and accessibility. The pandemic has forced educators to learn how to connect with students on an online platform genuinely. Some online college students report feeling disconnected, lonely, and isolated. However, online educators can reach these students through creative mediums, which helps them feel more engaged and increases their learning experience. This conference proceeding will discuss the importance of connection for students, how to creatively promote communication and connection with students, technology platforms, and ways to safeguard ethics during supervision, training, and teaching.
Parenting Education For Low-Income Job Seekers: A Mixed-Methods Analysis Of The Parenting With Love And Logic Program, Bryan Spuhler, Jacob A. Esplin, Kay Bradford, Brian J. Higginbotham
Parenting Education For Low-Income Job Seekers: A Mixed-Methods Analysis Of The Parenting With Love And Logic Program, Bryan Spuhler, Jacob A. Esplin, Kay Bradford, Brian J. Higginbotham
Journal of Human Sciences and Extension
Although the principles and strategies outlined in Cline and Fay’s (1990) Parenting with Love and Logic have been the foundation for several parent and educator training curricula over the last 30 years, there has been a dearth of empirical research to evaluate these programs (Fay, 2012). Prior research has documented the impact of cumulative family risk factors on parenting skills and child outcomes (Repetti et al., 2002, 2012), but few studies have examined the impact of parenting education courses within unemployed, low-income families. This study investigates perceived parental efficacy across the four program domains of connection, autonomy, regulation, and parental …
Building Resilient Higher Education Communities: Lessons Learned From Pandemic Teaching, Christian Williams, Carmen Veloria, Debra Harkins
Building Resilient Higher Education Communities: Lessons Learned From Pandemic Teaching, Christian Williams, Carmen Veloria, Debra Harkins
Pedagogy and the Human Sciences
The COVID-19 pandemic has left many educators grappling with uncertainties about the future of higher education while feeling exhausted from the stress and pressure to deliver quality education in unprecedented ways. While learning to incorporate new technology into remote, hybrid, and flipped classrooms, educators also find themselves responding to the psychosocial needs of students more than ever before. Yet the lack of established promising practices coupled with limited training and support on how to support students’ emotional well-being creates confusion and self-doubt. This conceptual article explores teacher experiences of teaching during a pandemic, missed opportunities, and highlights the need to …
The Queer Agenda: A Fluid Education, Charlee Corra
The Queer Agenda: A Fluid Education, Charlee Corra
Summit to Salish Sea: Inquiries and Essays
Throughout this paper, I weave together various aspects of my identity in order to investigate how fluidity and questioning form an undercurrent of my being and therefore of the way I teach. Through metaphors and narratives of my experiences within environmental education and experiential learning I seek clarity and expansiveness rather than definitive answers, leaning into the certainty that change is inevitable and there are rarely any static answers. Using queerness, Judaism, and my scientific background as the layers of my unique identity lens and positionality, I explore the ways in which the power of questioning, critical thinking, democratic education …
A Model For Outdoor Creation Education, Jonathan L. Albert
A Model For Outdoor Creation Education, Jonathan L. Albert
Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism
Outdoor creation education is critical for encouraging and equipping the saints. A well-organized wilderness classroom opens the eyes of the learner in a unique and inspiring way. The learner gains the heart to love God and others more deeply. The learner also develops the skills necessary to impact others with humble confidence. There are many opportunities right outside our doors to help others engage the wonder of God’s creation. With the proper structure, outdoor creation education empowers the teacher and the learner in profound ways, oftentimes unachievable within the traditional classroom.
Inviting Twenty-First Century Students To The Eighteenth-Century Party, Kathryn Strong Hansen
Inviting Twenty-First Century Students To The Eighteenth-Century Party, Kathryn Strong Hansen
ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830
This article describes a classroom activity that increases students’ connection to literary characters, and by extension, texts. The activity, constructed as a party attended by literary characters, tasks students with taking on the point of view of one character in an assigned novel. This can encourage a student to see the viewpoint of a character that differs from him or her in gender, social status, or any other category of difference. In heightening students’ relationship to eighteenth-century characters, I argue, instructors can bring the eighteenth century closer to contemporary students as well as increase students’ sensitivity to viewpoints that differ …
