Fostering noticing of classroom discussion features through analysis of contrasting cases
Productive classroom discussion has been shown to support student learning across academic domains. Facilitating successful discussion hinges on the teacher’s ability to make adept in-the-moment observations of various aspects of student talk and classroom dynamics. In two studies, we explore a pedagogical intervention using contrasting cases to support novice teachers in learning to notice key features of classroom discussion. Study 1 involves p…
Reenvisioning adaptive expertise as a distributed phenomenon
“Excited to crash the party”
This ethnographic study examines a girls-only summer maker program designed to empower girls who learned to use power tools to build their own designs. Drawing from theories of identity construction within figured worlds, the article shows how girls in the program authored themselves into roles that run counter to patriarchal notions of making and femininity. Illustrative examples show how girls played with gender presentation, produced gender-be…
Tinkering in the time of Covid
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on children's educational and play experiences. In this paper, we analyze and report on interviews with a sample of 14 educators who continued to facilitate playful tinkering experiences during online learning near the beginning of school facility closures related to COVID-19. After a review of relevant literatures on playful learning and making and tinkering, we discuss three themes that emerged i…
Saturate, situate, synthesize
To develop preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) knowledge and practice for complex teaching, a pedagogical innovation featured a design of saturate, situate, and synthesize. Small-group inquiry into English teaching challenges was guided by a course saturated with diverse resources, situated in K-12 classrooms, and supported by visualization tools and reflection for synthesis. A case of one diverse group analyzes how they developed knowledge and practice…
The Role of Early Immersive Culture Mixing in Cultural Identifications of Multiculturals
Becoming multicultural through early immersive culture mixing (EICM)-i.e., growing up with a mix of cultures that coexist and interact to form an emergent hybrid culture within one's home-is a rapidly rising phenomenon in many parts of the world. This phenomenon calls for new research that recognizes the possibility of identification with a hybrid culture as well as the distinct cultures from which the hybrid culture derives. This article extends…
Emancipation through digital entrepreneurship? A critical realist analysis
Digital entrepreneurship is presented in popular discourse as a means to empowerment and greater economic participation for under-resourced and socially marginalised people. However, this emancipatory rhetoric relies on a flat ontology that does not sufficiently consider the enabling conditions needed for successful digital enterprise activity. To empirically illustrate this argument, we examine three paired cases of UK women digital entrepreneur…

Psychological Ownership, Job Satisfaction, and Middle Manager Entrepreneurial Behavior
Despite the importance of middle managers’ entrepreneurial behavior for corporate entrepreneurship, there is still a lack of knowledge about its determinants. Knowledge of the role of individual psychological states and work attitudes remains particularly thin. Through an empirical investigation into 136 middle managers in a large Singapore telecommunications firm, this study finds that psychological ownership is positively related to entrepreneu…
Studying Organizations Using Critical Realism
The use of critical realism in social science research is growing, yet the community of scholars using this philosophy remains relatively small. There are a multitude of reasons for this and one I
Early Immersive Culture Mixing
Why some multicultural individuals think and identify differently to others is a question that is yet to be clearly answered. We suggest that a key antecedent to psychological differences among multiculturals is early immersive culture mixing, or experiencing multiple cultures simultaneously at home while growing up. We propose that innate multiculturals (defined as individuals who have experienced early immersive culture mixing) are cognitively …
The Promise of the Maker Movement for Education
The Maker Movement is a community of hobbyists, tinkerers, engineers, hackers, and artists who creatively design and build projects for both playful and useful ends. There is growing interest among educators in bringing making into K-12 education to enhance opportunities to engage in the practices of engineering, specifically, and STEM more broadly. This article describes three elements of the Maker Movement, and associated research needs, necess…
Organizing for Alternative Futures
What are the limits of influence for a philosophy of science? The last conference for the International Association for Critical Realism asked the question: ‘How can we organize for an alternative future?’. The implicit assumption within this question is that critical realism, with its specific contribution to the understanding of the ontology of the natural and social world, enables researchers to ask questions not only about what is, but also o…
Developing a Critical Realist Positional Approach to Intersectionality
This article identifies philosophical tensions and limitations within contemporary intersectionality theory which, it will be argued, have hindered its ability to explain how positioning in multiple social categories can affect life chances and influence the reproduction of inequality. We draw upon critical realism to propose an augmented conceptual framework and novel methodological approach that offers the potential to move beyond these debates…
A pragmatic perspective on visual representation and creative thinking
This paper offers a cognitive analysis of how visual representations can increase the chances of creativity, while also considering the ways in which they might hinder it. Specifically, it presents four cognitive mechanisms of creativity supported by visualisation: reinterpretation, abstraction, combination and mapping. Each process is described, analysed for potential benefits and pitfalls, and illustrated with examples. Although none of these p…

Critical Realism and Creativity
Humanist thought has long considered the nature of creativity in workers but the dominant framework for conceptualising creativity, rooted in psychological theory, has provided inadvertent limits on who might be considered creative at work. This is because creativity is commonly defined through the recognition of produced and valued novelty. This definition obscures all that is unrecognised, unrealised, unexercised, and currently in potential fro…
The Tanda
We present an analysis and discussion of the tanda, a multiperson pooled credit and savings scheme (a rotating credit association or RCA), as described by two informants from Mexican immigrant communities in California. In the tanda, participants contribute regularly to a common fund which is distributed to participants on a rotating basis. We analyze the tanda at multiple levels (as a mathematical, cultural, and distributed practice) and identif…
Psychological and Physical Health Effects of Sexual Assaults and Nonsexual Traumas Among Male and Female United States Army Soldiers
Lifetime trauma history was assessed in a health study of active duty United States Army soldiers. Five hundred fifty-five male and 573 female soldiers in the sample were asked whether they had ever experienced 14 different potentially traumatic experiences, including sexual assaults, violent stressors to self, and terrifying events that occurred to others and were secondarily traumatic through exposure by gaining information or as a witness to t…

Predictors of Tolerance of Sexual Harassment Among Male U.S. Army Soldiers
Tolerance of sexual harassment in the Army was examined in relation to three variables indicative of negative attitudes toward women among male soldiers. The first was a personality variable, negative masculinity, associated with narcissistic and aggressive characteristics; the second was a variable measuring hostility toward women; the third was a measure of acceptance of women as men's equals in the Army. In a MANOVA analysis, all three variabl…
