Editorial: The Role Of Risk-Taking And Mistakes In Early Childhood Learning And Teaching, Maleka Donaldson, S. Lynneth Solis

Education and Child Study: Faculty Publications

Children are prompted to learn and engage with new experiences, tasks, and content on a daily basis. When facing novel challenges during their work and play, children need opportunities to take risks and grow from the mistakes they make. Risk-taking, autonomy, and corrective feedback about mistakes are pivotal aspects of the learning process. However, there is still much to learn about human interactions during these instances, whether they involve teachers, parents, or other trusted adults who are working with young children. Our goal in this Research Topic was to offer a collection of studies that help deepen our understanding of …

Linguistic Differences Between Spanish And English: Challenges For Native Spanish Speakers And Instructional Strategies For Effective Language Learning, Allison Kassing

Honors Program: Senior Projects (Public)

This research article presents a contrastive analysis of Spanish and English, highlighting key linguistic differences that contribute to common grammatical errors among Spanish-speaking English learners. The study examines these differences across four linguistic layers: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Through error analysis, patterns of language transfer were identified and used to develop four 50-minute lesson plans tailored for English Language Learning (ELL) classes with native Spanish speakers. By recognizing students’ prior linguistic knowledge, ELL teachers can anticipate and address common errors more effectively. Special emphasis is placed on phonemes, morphemes, cognates, and sentence orders that do not exist in both …

A Review Of The Ripple Effect Of Parental Incarceration: Suggestions For System Improvement From Neonatal Development Through Adolescence, Karen Thew, April Terry

International Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities

Parental incarceration has the potential to drastically affect the social, behavioral, and physical lives of children. Such negative impacts include prenatal and chronic health conditions, behavioral and mental health issues, developmental delays, juvenile and criminal legal system involvement, and overall declines in well-being. These damaging outcomes occur for babies delivered during their mothers’ incarceration with negative lingering effects seen throughout the lifespan. Due to the stigmatization of incarceration, these children may experience bullying, engage in isolating behaviors, and struggle within the school, which may lead to the school-to-prison pipeline. While prevention and intervention services directed at these youth could not …

Learning And Reskilling To Stay Ahead Amidst Disruption, Havovi Joshi

Asian Management Insights

Reforming adult and continuing education has become a key issue in an era defined by relentless change borne of constant technological advancements. The traditional education paradigm where instructors transfer knowledge to students–often likened to a pen writing on a blank page–is deemed insufficient to meet the needs of the 21st century. As curricula evolve, teachers need to learn new skills and even unlearn outdated ones to serve as mentors and facilitators in the classroom.

Findings suggest that while modern grading practices are favored for their fairness and focus on mastery, they do not significantly enhance academic outcomes or student well-being in the short term. The study highlights the complex implications of grading reforms and underscores the need …
