Future-Oriented Science Education
Future-oriented skills have become increasingly important in science education. These skills include critical thinking, problem solving and managing complexity. While policymaking has a direct bearing on the what and the how of a future-oriented perspective in science education, previous research focused on a narrow group of stakeholders such as teachers and students. Little is known about what policymakers perceive as significant future-oriented…
Summarizing expository text and the relationship to verbal ability and reading skills
Text summarization involves selecting important information from a text, while ignoring unimportant information, to construct a coherent representation similar to a situation model. This study examined text-absent summaries written by 134 English-speaking Canadian Grade 5 students, and their language and reading abilities. Summaries were analyzed in terms of themes, main ideas, important details, and unimportant details. Cluster analysis indicate…
A Scoping Review of Published Literature on the Linguistic Representation of Indigenous Peoples
Published research involving Indigenous Peoples is largely deficit-based, which can perpetuate stereotypes against Indigenous Peoples. We conducted a scoping review to understand what is currently known about the linguistic representation of Indigenous Peoples.

We explore this issue first through an initial review of both wider philosophical and curriculum literature on argumentation, notably Toulmin’s work, and then a review of relevant research within religious education. We then describe our curricul…

Challenges faced by health-care providers offering infant-feeding counseling to HIV-positive women in sub-Saharan Africa
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) has been identified as the optimal nutrition and critical behavior in attaining human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-free infant survival in resource-limited settings. Health-care providers (HCPs) in clinic- and community-settings throughout sub-Saharan Africa (sSA) provide infant-feeding counseling. However, rates of EBF at 6 months of age are suboptimal. HCPs are uniquely positioned to educate HIV-positive mothers an…
