Ion Vlad (2022). Emotion and Memory in Third-Space Human Rights Education: An Examination of Two National Museums. International Journal of Human Rights Education, v6 n1 Article 6. This article presents a comparative analysis of human rights education at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, USA (NCCHR) and the Canadian Museum of Human Rights (CMHR) in Winnipeg. Specifically, what is analyzed is the role of emotion and memory in the construction of the exhibits and the impact on the visitor. The investigation is based on the author's field observations at these two locations and interviews with staff. The museums are viewed as third spaces of education, situated somewhere between the home and the school, which presents particular dialogic openings in terms of human rights and peace pedagogies. The NCCHR and the CMHR are found to emphasize visceral and emotional experiences, over purely intellectual ones. Furthermore, traumatic content is not avoided. Rather, it is placed at the forefront. In terms of memory, the past-present continuum is underlined by subverting chronology and through the thematic juxtaposition of content. Finally, there is… [PDF]

Gen√ß, Muhammet Fatih; Uddin, A. H. M. Ershad (2023). The Model of Religious Education in Today's Secular and Multicultural Societies — Post-Confessional Inclusivist Religious Education (PCIRE). British Journal of Religious Education, v45 n2 p127-137. "Pularity" has emerged due to the rapid communication and interaction of different religions, languages, and cultural elements with the effect of globalization, modernization, secularization, and the necessity to live together. It has affected not only the politics of countries but also education and imposed new duties and responsibilities on it. In particular, the coexistence of individuals with different religious and cultural backgrounds raises the question of how to teach "religion," which is one of the determining elements of their identities, also becomes one of the main problems in the science of religious education. In the context of this study, the role of religious education in secular and multicultural societies is emphasized, and the 'Post-Confessional Inclusivist Religious Education' model is mentioned as a new proposal. The main purpose of this model is to contribute to the training of individuals who can understand the phenomenon of… [Direct]

Hapon, Nadia; Koshmanova, Tetyana (2007). Exploratory Study of Changing Ethnic Stereotypes of the Ukrainian Teacher Candidates towards Peaceful Attitudes. Journal of Peace Education, v4 n1 p75-93 Mar. The study focuses on exploring the method of changing pre-service teachers' stereotypes about different ethnicities. The purpose of the study is to test, or try out, an approach for changing beliefs and attitudes of teacher candidates towards peace-building, democracy, humanism, and accepting others. The procedure for this study involved investigating teacher candidates' attitudes or ethnic stereotypes about different nations bordering Ukraine and about themselves as well, conducting attitudes/stereotypes' intervention towards the formation of teachers' peaceful attitudes, and analyzing the consequences of this intervention. The article specifically analyses the research experience for teacher candidates as they reflected on their multi-ethic practices. It also utilizes the research findings to inform the field of teacher education for peace. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)… [Direct]

Blier, Helen M. (2008). Webbing the Common Good: Virtual Environment, Incarnated Community, and Education for the Reign of God. Teaching Theology & Religion, v11 n1 p24-31 Feb. Online technologies, recently embraced by seminaries to respond to changing student needs and demographics, compel practitioners to ask questions about the content, methods, and desired outcomes of teaching/learning experiences. Indeed, as Delamarter and Brunner have pointed out in this journal (2005), many seminaries have turned to these strategies only to find that the issues are not technological; rather, they are pedagogical. This article discusses the insights generated by one such teaching experiment, a hybrid course on religious education for social justice. Through this educational experiment, the professor and students discovered that the format of the hybrid course proved to be an effective means by which to promote the praxis of social justice as well as develop some of the skills essential for effective ministry and education. The article begins with the rationale of the course design and content and continues with the perspectives of the students and instructor in… [Direct]

Sahin, Mehmet; Yorek, Nurettin (2009). Teaching Science to Visually Impaired Students: A Small-Scale Qualitative Study. Online Submission, US-China Education Review v6 n4 p19-26 Apr. Students have long regarded science as a difficult subject because of hard and abstract concepts. Traditional science teaching has been depended mostly on visual instruction. This makes it difficult for visually impaired (VI) or partially sighted students included in regular classrooms to learn the concepts. Blind students on the other hand, have no visual input at all. They need to learn using other senses such as touching and hearing. Classrooms should be adapted and instruction should be adjusted for better science teaching to VI students. The purpose of this study was to investigate how VI students learn science. The results of the data obtained via interviews and observations revealed that VI students need instructional and environmental accommodations to learn science. They need more tactual and audio experiences than visual instruction. Suggestions and implications about teaching science to students with visual impairments are discussed.

Multicultural Education: Teachers' Perceptions in Hosanna College of Education, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR), Ethiopia. Cogent Education, v10 n1 Article 2184916. This study was intended to explore how the perceptions of teachers affect multicultural education (MCE) in diversified classrooms at Hosanna College of Education. A descriptive textual narration with a qualitative case study and purposive sampling research design were employed in this study. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis were used to collect data. The respondents were teachers at Hosanna College of Education. The findings confirmed that the perceptions of teachers were positive toward the teaching of a diverse student population. This is to say that it was evident that teachers felt a desire to provide experiences for their students to help them understand cultural diversity. Inevitably, the study acknowledged that MCE is crucial for nation-wide integration through peace building and sustaining progressive development. However, teachers had no sufficient skills and motivation to investigate studies to encourage and promote MCE because of the reluctant commitment of… [Direct]

Bosio, Emiliano; Torres, Carlos Alberto (2020). Global Citizenship Education at the Crossroads: Globalization, Global Commons, Common Good, and Critical Consciousness. Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, v48 n3-4 p99-113 Jul. This article-dialogue addresses current criticisms of global citizenship and challenges frequent misinterpretations of Global Citizenship Education (GCE), while discussing what it means to educate for critical global citizenry in an increasingly multicultural world. It starts by considering the phenomena of globalization and the UN Global Education First Initiative (GEFI), which aims at furthering global citizenship, to highlight the relationship between GCE, "global-peace", global commons, and common good. Building on the assumption that GCE should be about learners' emancipation toward critical consciousness, the dialogue concludes drawing a parallel between the "mission" of GCE in contemporary educational institutions and Paulo Freire's notion of critical consciousness….

From Generosity to Gratitude: Exploring Islamic Views on Body Donation, Human Dissection, and Honoring the Gift of Life. Anatomical Sciences Education, v17 n8 p1569-1578. Human dissection is an ancient pedagogical method that is still relevant in modern anatomy curricula. The body procurement process for dissection purposes has undergone significant evolution from the medieval era until now, whereby body donation has become the main source for human bodies in medical education. The appreciation ceremony for body donors is an excellent way to promote a body donation program, whereby both dissection and appreciation ceremonies are effective in inculcating professional behaviors and altruism among medical students. Despite the benefits of dissection and such ceremonies, conflicting ideas about the acceptability of these methods exist among Muslim scholars and students. Hence, this article provides a theological Islamic interpretation of human dissection, body donation, and appreciation ceremonies from four sources of Islamic law–the Qur'an, Hadith, Idjmaa, and Qiyas–to justify Muslims' involvement in the aforementioned. It is important to note that the… [Direct]

How They Work on the SDGS and How They Communicate Them on Their Websites. Higher Education Quarterly, v78 n3 p586-607. This paper shows how the leading Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking communicate their environmental sustainability policies through their websites. Specifically, this paper analyses the presence of sustainability-related sustainable development goals on the websites of the top 100 universities in the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking (2021). In the area of university social responsibility, sustainability is less commonly communicated, hence the need to delve deeper into the presence of these messages, carrying out a descriptive study using content analysis as a form of data extraction. The conclusion is that neither position in the ranking nor geographic area are decisive for developing better communication about sustainability. In terms of content, sustainability features on the websites are in three key dimensions of the communication of HEIs worldwide ("Climate change, Efficiency of sustainable cities and communities and… [Direct]

Dixon, James (1965). The Peace Corps in an Educating Society. This document is an abridged transcript of the discussion held by representative participants from educational institutions and the Peace Corps at the Brookings Institution Conference on July 22, 1965. The meeting was initiated with the belief that the academic establishment and the Peace Corps need each other. Three propositions were presented: (1) the Peace Corps should see itself as an educational institution; (2) colleges and universities should become more like the Peace Corps; (3) the relationship between the Peace Corps and American higher education should be permanently committed. As a result of this meeting, Sargeant Shriver established an Education Task Force to raise the level of Peace Corps "training" to "education" in order to see the education of Volunteers as a two- or three-year process continuing throughout their service. Among ideas from the discussion resulting in the Peace Corps' new education program were (1) a panel of faculty advisors who… [PDF]

Beyond Market and Language Commodification: Contemplating Social-Market Value and Social-Welfare Concerns in Language Education Policy and Practice in Pakistan. Language and Education, v37 n1 p88-104. This study demonstrates how stakeholders' treatment of English language as the sole marketable/saleable commodity in educational setting can have implications for multilingualism and existing linguistic diversity in Pakistan. Language commodification refers to the valuation of languages as marketable/saleable commodities and their relative exchange value. The findings are based on semi-structured interviews with students, teachers, and administrators/principals conducted in schools and a university during three different PhD studies. This article specifically focusses on how stakeholders view English-medium education and indigenous languages. Given stakeholders' diversity-as-a-problem orientations and rationalization of English-medium education, we propose an epistemic reorientation in which the social-market value of languages and social-welfare considerations may become the basis of language-in-education policy and planning. Social-market value refers to the role languages play as… [Direct]

Smith, Michael (1989). Meetings of the (Peaceful) Minds: A Survey of Convention Opportunities for Peace Communication Researchers. A study was conducted to ascertain what speech communication convention outlets might be available to peace communication researchers. Seven issues of the Consortium for Peace Research Education and Development's (COPRED) "Peace Chronicle," a publication which offers one of the more comprehensive listings of conventions, events, and other peace resources available, were examined. Information was classified according to the following schema: communication related, educational training and peace studies, dispute resolution and mediation, personal and professional development, activism, talks and exhibits, science, international, and unrelated or unclear. The most frequently occurring conferences were those dealing with dispute resolution, peace studies, science, and international. Results indicated that very few outlets exist specifically for "peace communication" research. But the field is fertile for sharing research and expertise with professionals from other… [PDF]

Mahdi is an Iraqi doctoral candidate in adult and higher education and Bright is her doctoral advisor. The two have been involved in intensive dialogue about how they see their cultures, how they perceive the conflict in the Middle East, and how andragogical theory offers hope for changing learning and teaching approaches that can influence political and social philosophies of leadership. This conversation is a reflection of their advocacy for andragogy as a tool for change and peace. They discuss how an inclusive education can bridge two cultures, American and Arab together in meaningful ways. Following their conversations, their combined voices contemplate the following questions: (1) What does andragogy have to offer to people in cultures facing distress, conflict, and war?; (2) What is the relevance?; and (3) Why should people in the field of adult education care? They contend that adult educational theory, process, and research are elemental to a vision of a peaceful world and a… [Direct]

Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v94 n4 p41-50. This article introduces the concept of a new curricular model that addresses these issues through the body. The Thirdspace Movement Model can be integrated in K-12 Physical Education in coordination with other models. The Thirdspace Movement Model creates an environment where students practice movements and engage in critical discourse that address embodied identity. Through movements, the model fosters; 1) self-awareness which can lead to self-identity and self-acceptance, 2) embodied movement experiences that can lead to inner peace, 3) humanization, 4) acceptance of self and others, 5) reconciliation, 6) growth in connection with others, and 7) justice. The Thirdspace Movement Model can be integrated with existing PE units or introduced as a stand-alone unit. Self-awareness and listening to the messages the body sends begins the learning experience. Students then explore and express through developmental progression and movement patterns with self and others. The experience… [Direct]

Neil Duane Lingle (2024). An Examination of Police Academy Cultural Competence Education and Training on New Police Officer Performance. ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Kansas State University. Community colleges educate and train significant numbers of U.S. police officers. Even so, an erosion of public trust and confidence in the police has overcome communities nationwide (Fagan, 2008; Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, 2015). The high-profile law enforcement-related deaths of unarmed Black citizens have further heightened calls for police education reform nationwide (Whitfield, 2019).Community colleges are uniquely positioned to bring about social change, particularly in police reform and race relations (Dennis, 2020). Many states mandate diversity, implicit bias, or cultural competence curricula for police academy students; thus, new officers' cultural competence education and training begins in the police academy and establishes community expectations for law enforcement behavior and performance (Oakley, 2020). Effective cultural competence education and training of new peace officers could contribute to facilitating trust, legitimacy, and just policing… [Direct]
