Low-Level Visual Features of Window Views Contribute to Perceived Naturalness and Mental Health Outcomes
Previous studies have shown that natural window views are beneficial for mental health, but it is still unclear which specific features constitute a 'natural' window view. On the other hand, studies on image analysis found that low-level visual features (LLVFs) are associated with perceived naturalness, but mainly conducted experiments with brief stimulus presentations. In this study, research on the effects of window views on mental health was c…
The pedagogy of shoes
Just who do we think we are … and how do we know this?
Yes I am a mother and I am still a teenager”
If we took the time to listen attentively and carefully to pregnant teenagers and teen mothers what would we hear? If we invited them to articulate their messages to the adults who interact with them, speak to those who judge them, and give advice to their peers, what would they say? Th is photo-essay addresses these related questions by presenting some of the findings of an arts-based activist research project called TEEN M.O.M. (Mirrors of Moth…

Visual Images in Research
That's Funny You Don't Look Like A Teacher!
What do you see when you think of teacher? Where does what you see come from? This is a book about the images of teachers and teaching which permeate the everyday lives of children and adults, shaping in important but unrecognised ways their notions of whom teachers are and what they do. The authors show how, using a creative interdisciplinary approach, it is possible to analyse drawings of teachers, television programmes, films, cartooons, comic…
The Usable Past
This paper focuses on memory, not as a school subject with which it is still associated for many learners, but as one in which school is the subject and where the question ‘what are some of your earliest memories of playing school?’ can serve as an autobiographical prompt. In what ways do we continue to ‘play out’ early experiences of school long after we begin our teaching careers? What significance should we attach to not remembering? How can e…

Joining the Conversation with Diamond, Sheridan, and Trumbull
As a reader, I have often thought that the response and rejoinder section of journals tends to evoke a more emotional response than do most journal articles. Upon further reflection, I think it is more a case of a forum that reveals the depth of emotion that can be aroused by seemingly dispassionate journal articles. The tone, the voice, and the style of response and rejoinder are often quite different from that of the articles in any given journ…
The Teacher Educator's Experience
The research literature of teacher education is remarkably silent on the topic of teacher educators themselves. In this article, I report and explore some of the perceptions and the experience of six university professors of education whom I have interviewed extensively. Analysis is presented in the form of descriptive stories, comments, and reflections that capture a few significant moments of a teacher educator's university teaching experience.…
