The History Of Sex Education In The United States: With Application To South Dakota, Lauren A. Lavin

Reacting to the Past (RTTP) is a roleplaying pedagogy highly regarded as an innovative high-impact practice.

Language input plays a key role in children’s language development, but children from families of low socioeconomic status often get much less input compared to more advantaged peers.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to better understand children’s perception of their school-based educational technology use and its role in their well-being. Children (N = 23) from the Midwestern U.S. completed an interview and mapping exercise focused on the contexts and factors that impact their well-being, including schools and teachers. Phenomenological analyses of interview transcripts focused on children’s perceptions of 1) school educational technology use, and 2) the impact of school educational technology use on their well-being. Children described a variety of school educational technology experiences, which they perceived as having both positive and negative effects on their …
