From co-design to co-adaptation
This paper presents an intrinsic single case study of a Research Practice Partnership (RPP) focused on helping teachers learn to integrate computational thinking and sensor-based physical computing into inquiry-oriented middle school science and STEM instruction aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. Over the six-year partnership, 32 teachers participated and 49 professional learning (PL) workshops. This paper draws on an extensive d…
Association of rurality and health professional shortages with the clinicopathologic characteristics of melanoma in North Carolina
PURPOSE: To assess rural-urban and health professional shortage area (HPSA)-related influences on the characteristics of melanoma in North Carolina. METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients living in North Carolina with an available pathology report for invasive cutaneous melanoma seen in the Duke University Health System from 01/01/2014 to 12/31/2020. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to c…

A qualitative metasynthesis of teacher educator self-studies on social justice
Exploring physical activity trends and lesson context of incarcerated youth in a sport-leadership program
Incarcerated youth are one subset of the population in dire need of physical activity interventions. As inactivity within incarcerated populations has become a mounting public health concern, several sport-based physical activity and fitness programs within prisons have emerged. The purpose of this study is to explore physical activity levels and lesson context of a sport-leadership program in one juvenile detention center. Participants in this s…

Who Is Served Best by Health Professions Service Learning Trips
Service learning trips can be a powerful means of fostering cultural competency as well as an opportunity for students to expand their clinical skill set. However, if not planned and executed thoughtfully, they might not provide lasting benefit to the communities they seek to serve. Through analysis of a case in which participants question the value of their short-term international service learning trip, we argue that such trips should be design…
Beyond the Archive
This article presents research on archaeological data creation and management practices at two excavations in Europe in order to gain a better understanding of how to align these practices with the data reuse needs of a broader research community. The Secret Life of Data project follows the life cycle of data from the field to the digital repository to better understand opportunities and challenges in data interpretation, publication, and preserv…
Developing as Teacher Leaders for Social Justice
This qualitative study used focus groups to examine teacher leaders’ perceptions of how they developed as a result of being in a teacher-leadership graduate program with a focus on social justice. Findings point to the teacher leaders’ development of a social-justice lens and a leadership lens to frame their work inside and outside of the classroom. The development of a social-justice lens promoted teacher leaders’ critical consciousness about th…
Hybrid Craft
This article introduces the Hybrid Craft exhibition, positioning 15 hybrid projects in the context of today’s Maker culture. Each project demonstrates a unique integration of contemporary making practice with traditional craft. The presenters in the show represent a wide range of professional backgrounds: independent makers, students and teachers, designers associated with research institutes, and commercial organizations. The background of Hybri…
Distinguishing Models of Professional Development
We posit that professional development (PD) models fall on a continuum from highly adaptive to highly specified, and that these constructs provide a productive way to characterize and distinguish among models. The study reported here examines the impact of an adaptive mathematics PD model on teachers' knowledge and instructional practices as well as on students' achievement over time. Results indicate at least modest impacts in each of these area…
Do childhood adversities cluster in predictable ways? A systematic review
Alert but less alarmed
While an increased proportion of Australians believe that the national threat of terrorism remains high, concern about being personally affected has moderated and may reflect habituation to this threat. Key sub-groups remain disproportionately concerned, notably those with lower education and migrant groups. The dissonance observed in findings relating to Australians of migrant background appears to reflect wider socio-cultural concerns associate…
Paul Hanly Furfey Lecture * Sacred Space and Collective Memory
In the aftermath of genocide and mass trauma, nations as well as victimized communities have sought ways to remember the past through the preservation of monuments and memorials that recall the catastrophes of modern society. Among the most provocative of these memorials are those that have been established at former sites of terror where the memory of suffering, torture, and extermination is encoded in the buildings, grounds, and grave sites tha…
Contemporary Approaches to Teacher Professional Development
Critical Concepts of Mentoring in an Urban Context
Given the increasing challenges faced by high-poverty urban schools, mentoring has become the panacea for policy makers interested in a quick-fix solution to the teacher quality dilemma. As a result, mentoring programs have experienced exponential growth with little empirical attention during the last decade. This 16-month qualitative investigation within a large city in the northeastern United States, sought to better understand the work of ment…
Video as a tool for fostering productive discussions in mathematics professional development
"Video-Based Research Made "Easy
In this article, the authors share some of the methodological lessons learned from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 1995 and TIMSS 1999 Video Studies. They focus on their experiences overseeing these large-scale, video-based, cross-national surveys of teaching. The article documents some of the progress the authors made, as well as some of the obstacles they encountered. The authors hope that the ideas shared here hel…
The Process of Dropping out of High School
In this study, nested latent-variable causal models were contrasted to compare the direct and indirect relationships of distal family and child and proximal adolescent factors to dropping out of high school. The sample included 194 Euro-American conventional and nonconventional families in a 19-year longitudinal study. The findings showed that dropping out of high school is a multiply-determined process, with early influences beginning in childho…
