Identifying features of field trips (FTs) that promote a connection to nature, culture, and other people
Connecting with nature offers benefits ranging from conservation activities to greater well-being. What experiences create connection to nature and are they the same as the experiences that create a sense of connection to group members or a foreign culture? This study sampled 27 field trips to different ecosystems and cultures, attended by students in grades 5–11. There was nearly complete consistency across settings and ages. Vivid sensory exper…
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…
“Free Forever to Act for Themselves”
Christian mystic, theologian, and preacher Howard Thurman wrote through the tumultuous American civil rights era.

As a B…

One dimension was inclusion of a teachable agent. Orthogonal was whether critical constructive feedback was presented automatically or only when students chose. Analyses showed that a teachable agent positively affected students’…
Disconnection and the Healing Practice of Imagination for Mormon Environmental Ethics
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints possesses a subversive and fecund interpretation of the Christian creation narrative. This interpretation, denying creation ex nihilo, bespeaks a particular attention to and care for the living earth. However, Latter-day Saint praxis is wounded by a searing disconnect between the theopoetics of its conceptual creation and its lived practice. I argue that the Church must understand this disconnect as…
