The Fake Mathematical Mindsets Of Preservice Teachers, Carmen M. Latterell

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

Many students have a fixed mindset, as do some teachers. Recently I accidentally discovered that most of the preservice elementary teachers in my class were faking their mindset and pretending that they had a growth mindset. This raises a variety of questions, such as, will this follow a fake it until you make it track?

Memes As An Effective Approach To Increase Public Engagement With Mathematical Concepts, Juan M. Romero, Carlos Trenado

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

A meme is a graphical concept or cultural item that is disseminated via the Internet, often through social media platforms. Memes serve as a mechanism for replicating cultural traits by incorporating aspects of cultural mutation and evolution. The potential of memes in learning and education has been emphasized in several recent studies. The present article examines the impact of memes in increasing public engagement with mathematics and mathematical concepts. By focusing on memes that exhibit specific attributes—such as emotional facial expressions of recognizable human characters and dialogues emphasizing the usefulness or beauty of a mathematical concept—we observe a significant increase …

Bayes In The Brain: A Review Of Everything Is Predictable: How Bayesian Statistics Explain Our World, (2024) By Tom Chivers., Michael T. Catalano

Numeracy

Tom Chivers’ Everything is Predictable: How Bayesian Statistics Explain Our World, is an interesting and wide-ranging narrative on Bayesian thinking, its history, and its applicability to both our everyday lives and the pursuit of scientific truth. Although appropriate for the non-expert, afficionados and teachers of quantitative literacy should find the plethora of examples, links to psychology as it applies to how people reason about probabilities, and even Chivers’ philosophical musings informative and thought-provoking.

Reflection On The ‘Power Of Us’ Conference: How Mainstream Schools In England Offer Provision To Children With Special Educational Needs (Sen), Grace H A Cooper

Plymouth Interdisciplinary Education Open Journal

The majority of children in England with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) are educated within mainstream schools. Due to the broad range of needs of children, it is essential that mainstream schools are provided with adequate funding, preparation and training to ensure that the inclusion of every child is achievable and expected. Furthermore, sometimes schools feel that they cannot offer ample provision to give every child an equitable access to learning and therefore they are directed to SEND schooling – can a mainstream school be considered inclusive if they cannot support all children? This article will consider these arguments …

On Becoming A Hero: Insights From An Unexpected Experience, Christina Maslach

Heroism Science

In 1971, shortly after earning my Ph.D. at Stanford, I found myself unexpectedly drawn into the events of the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE). Although I was not involved in the study’s design, my reaction to the disturbing behaviors I witnessed led me to confront my partner, Philip Zimbardo, about the ethics of continuing the research. That conversation ultimately led him to end the study. In this personal reflection, I revisit my experience as an unintentional “outsider ombudsperson,” exploring the psychological and ethical challenges that unfolded within the SPE. I reflect on what I learned about dissent, disobedience, and how stepping …

Exploring Insights Into Women’S Education In Saudi Arabia Via Statistical Data, Abdullah M Basahel, Mohammad A Yamin

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Economics and Administration

In many countries, education systems vary for males and females. Some schools are open to both genders, whereas others are exclusively for one gender only. This separation is not limited to certain regions; rather, it occurs worldwide. Saudi Arabia takes a unique approach in which male and female students attend joint classes but do so on separate campuses. Through technology, female students can participate via live video, whereas male students can participate in face-to-face classes with their teachers. This setup is used in various undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Saudi Arabia and other countries. We examine the advantages and disadvantages …

Burnout Of Physical Therapist: Impact Of Agitated Behaviors In The Traumatic Brain Injury Population, Francine Sage-King

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact patient agitation post traumatic brain injury (TBI) has on physical therapist burnout and the factors that contribute to its presence. Therefore, the following research questions were posed: 1) What is the prevalence of burnout among physical therapists (PTs) providing direct patient care for patients with post-TBI agitation? 2) Is there a relationship between clinical setting and 3) percentage of direct patient care and PT burnout? 4) How do scores of resilience differ between those that do and do not have burnout? And 5) What work system factors do PTs working …
