Participatory Action Research: Inclusion of Elementary Students With Disabilities
Inclusion of students with disabilities (SWDs) is essential to improving their educational, social, and behavioral outcomes. However, the execution and maintenance of these practices relies on contextual variables at the local level. This study presents the results of a participatory action research project conducted in collaboration with a public elementary school investigating inclusive practices. The resulting case study included surveys of sc…

Writing and Selfhood in the Pedagogy of Célestin Freinet
This article explores the relationship between writing and selfhood in the thought and practice of the French pedagogue Célestin Freinet. After setting out the centrality of writing practices to Freinetian pedagogy, the article analyses writing's conceptual parameters within this context, stressing in particular Freinet's desire to make the classroom permeable to the outside world, and the vitalist orientation of his approach. Freinet's education…
Setting Them Up for Success”: Including Youth on the Autism Spectrum in 4-H
Youth on the autism spectrum often face challenges accessing services in rural communities compared to those who live in higher resource areas. There is a particular need for services that support skills that will help youth transition to adulthood and future employment. 4-H is a national youth development program that is well-positioned to address the needs of youth on the autism spectrum; however, minimal empirical evidence exists about the imp…
Disturbing Visions of Childhood: René Schérer's Writing in the 1970S
This article analyses the critique of childhood undertaken by the French philosopher René Schérer in the 1970s. It explores Schérer's scepticism regarding children's ‘emancipation’ in the post-68 period and his attacks on developmental expertise derived from the fields of psychology, psychoanalysis and pedagogy. Existing critical appraisals of this body of work have focused, unsurprisingly, on its apology for paedophilia, which Schérer promoted a…
Hillfort gate-mechanisms: A contextual, architectural reassessment of Eddisbury, Hembury, and Cadbury hillforts
This paper offers a typology of hillfort gate-mechanisms, and a developed understanding of temporal depth in hillfort architecture – via applied contextual analysis. Rediscovery of the Eddisbury hillfort archive revealed three iron gate-mechanisms. To situate these rare objects, detailed analyses of entrance architecture and stratigraphy was conducted – for Eddisbury and parallels (Hembury, South Cadbury) – enabling new sequences, resolution of t…
The Dobrogea Walls in the Writings of the Polish Diplomats Erazm Otwinowski (1557) and Andrzej Taranowski (1569)
The travelogues of the sixteenth-century Polish diplomats Erazm Otwinowski and Andrzej Taranowski are important, but as yet overlooked sources on the Dobrogea walls as well as on local geography and toponymy. They represent the earliest Western sources for the Dobrogea walls and contain the first pre-modern mention of the forts which are an important feature of these defensive structures. Despite their value, however, these sources have not yet b…

Overweight, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol consumption in a cross-sectional random sample of German adults
This random sample of German urban adults was characterised by a high prevalence of overweight and obesity. This and the pattern of alcohol consumption, smoking and physical activity can be considered to put this group at high risk for associated morbidity and underscore the urgent need for preventive measures aimed at reducing the significantly increased health risk
Why Philosophy Matters
The motives of philosophers tend to be personal. Philosophy has mattered politically as part of continuing political debates. Its effects on politics, religion and the development of the sciences have been evident. Philosophy has been supposed to have special educational value, from its contents or from the benefits of its methods and arguments. This is doubtful. Rather, philosophy matters because its concerns matter. How much philosophy matters,…
Semantic and Episodic Effects on Bridging Inferences
In 3 experiments, participants read pairs of sentences requiring a bridging inference between a category in 1 sentence and a typical or atypical exemplar of that category in the following sentence. In Experiments 2 and 3, the critical pair of sentences was preceded by several lines of text in which the exemplar was introduced and then backgrounded by a shift in topic. Accessibility of the earlier mentioned exemplar was manipulated by varying the …

A Dialectical Approach to Research and Development Planning
This paper reports on the methodology and an application of a dialectical approach to research and development, planning. The methodology features a structured debate followed by argumentation analysis. The argumentation analysis in turn is followed by an assessment of the plausibility of the arguments. The application involved using the methodology to assess the level of funding for research and development for a transportation system that would…
